Chapter 33:

A/N: It seems like a lot of people liked my ideas from the last chapter, so I'm going to stick with this plot for the rest of the story…not that I'd have any idea how to change it…but either way, it's staying. Oh, and I'd like to thank the people who have reviewed, especially those of you who've been with me the whole way through the story…it's been really great seeing how you like the plot and characters and how even after I took a very very long hiatus, you stuck with me. So thanks. So please, enjoy the next chapter, and as always…REVIEW!!!! No flames necessary. Or welcomed.

(In the real-world Manor…)

The sisters all walked up to the attic together. They decided they would make a plan, split up, and consult Grams and their mother. They knew they needed to do something about this mess, and they needed to do something soon.

Each silent in deep thoughts, the sisters entered the attic.

Piper was the first to break the silence. She sighed and said "Well, guys…I really think we need to talk with Grams and Mom about this.

Prue gave her a sheepish look.

"What?" Piper demanded

"Oh…well, I kind of beat you to that one. But I can call them again, if you want." Prue replied

"Oh. Well, we really need a plan. And for some reason my mind is on a blank…" Piper started to say, but her voice trailed off, but got distracted by Paige. Paige was staring intently into space.

"Paige…hello?" Phoebe asked, waving a hand in front of her younger sister's face.

Paige was still staring. Phoebe touched Paige's shoulder, and immediately her eyes closed which indicated she was having a premonition.

Prue and Piper looked at each other.

"Okay…one sister goes into a trance and the other sister is having premonitions. What the hell is going on here? Piper whispered to Prue. Prue shrugged her shoulders. Something weird was definitely going on.

After a long silence, Phoebe's eyes opened almost as quickly as they closed. She looked around confusedly at her sisters and then remembered what had happened. Paige was still in her trance.

"What the hell was that?" Prue asked Phoebe

"I think you mean what the hell wasn't that." Phoebe responded quietly, now avoiding touching Paige again.

"Well…what happened?" Prue asked Phoebe impatiently

"A lot of different premonitions. It was like watching a tape fast-forward or something. I don't know. I know it wasn't Paige…it was someone else's. I don't know why Paige received it. Maybe I was meant to but she intercepted it somehow. But what I do know is that it ended with a girl who looked exactly like Jessie, but I could tell it wasn't Jessie, sitting on a bed in a drab looking room in the Underworld. It was really bizarre, because the girl seemed to sense I was there…and she raised her head up slowly with fear in her eyes and said "please…you have to help us…Jessie's strong but I'm not sure how much longer she will last…we need you. Help- quickly." And that's when the scene faded." Phoebe explained

Prue's face paled. She sank low into the couch, deep in thought, her ideas spinning fast in her head.

Paige snapped out of whatever trance she was in.

"Bianca…" she whispered.

Prue stood up quickly. "How do you know about Bianca?" she whispered urgently

"She's the one…her great power…Cole…evil." Paige managed to slowly say until she couldn't take it anymore and collapsed to the ground.

"Paige!" Piper exclaimed. "LEO!" She called. Leo orbed into the attic immediately.

"What happened?" He asked frantically

Piper gave him the rundown of the events that just occurred.

"Uh-oh…that is not good." He said when Piper got to the part about what Paige had said.

"Well, we'll deal with that later. Can you heal her please?" Piper asked

"Um…I'll try. But at the state she's in, she might not wake up until this issue is resolved." Leo replied uncertainly.

"Well, at least try. I mean, this could be the key we need to get Jessica out of Cole's grasp and defeat him once and for all." Leo said on his knees, hands over Paige as he tried to heal her.

Paige groaned but would not wake up.

"Well, I think that's the best I can do for now." Leo said, getting back up on his feet.

"We need Mom and Grams." Phoebe said, going to the BOS and reading the incantation that allowed ghosts to step over to the mortal realm.

A few minutes later, Penny and Patty Halliwell stepped over to greet their daughters/grand daughters.

"So, girls…what do you need us for?" Penny asked, getting straight to the point for once.

So Piper repeated the whole story she had just told Leo.

Penny and Patty listened. After Piper was done talking, Patty said, "Well, Prue knows about Bianca. But as for what Paige said…I think there is some sort of greater power going on around here…something strong and dangerous. I can't be sure yet, but that's what I think."

"I definitely agree on that one. But when it comes to Bianca…well, that's a bit of a shock really. She's obviously been under great protection, as we would have sensed her if she hadn't. I'm thinking she is key to this whole thing, and we need to get her soon. Otherwise it might be too late." Penny said

"How could she be alive?" Prue asked softly

Patty went over to her daughter and gave her a reassuring hug. "Don't worry honey, we'll get her back. And this time that bastard will be destroyed for good."

Prue sunk down on the couch again. Resting her head on her mother's shoulder, with her mother stroking her hair, she said in a low tone, "He better be. Because if I see him ever again…he will be sorry he survived."

Piper and Phoebe looked at each other; somewhat surprised at the way Prue was acting…usually she never showed her emotions. Now, however she had changed…into a mother just trying to protect her kids.

Patty lifted her eldest daughter's chin so that she could look directly into her eyes. She said, "Don't worry. We will get him. And he will pay."

Prue smiled a small smile. "But what if it's not good enough?" She asked

"Oh don't worry. It will be." Patty said.

"So…enough talk. Why don't we get to some butt-kicking Cole?" Phoebe asked, almost jumping up and down with anticipation and excitement.

Prue laughed. Standing up, she went over to the book. Her fingers flipping rapidly through the pages, she stopped on the spell she was looking for. A spell she had written long ago. One she'd forgotten. One that she'd purposely put an invisible spell on until the day she needed it. Her sisters and mother and grandmother crowded around her.

"Wow…this is perfect." Piper smiled

"Exactly what we need." Phoebe chimed in

"What the hell happened?" A voice asked confusedly.

They all looked up from the book, seeing Paige awake.

"Well, sweetie…you have certainly missed a lot." Piper said

"Yeah, well…so have you guys." Paige replied, standing up.

After that, they went to their separate corners. Grams and Piper went downstairs to start the potion that had gone along with the spell. Phoebe and Patty went to work the spell so it would be just a little stronger, and also began preparing for what would happen after the spell was said. Prue stayed with Paige on the couch, catching her up on everything. They were beginning to all feel more confident and powerful than ever, seeing that once all the pieces fell in the right place, it was smooth sailing from then on.

A/N: So there you have it! The beginning of the battle! Hope you liked that chapter. It was a lot longer too, which made me happy! As always, please REVIEW!!!!
