The Power of Four-a new beginning
A kidnapped sister, chapter nine
"I´m fat," Piper exclaimed. "And it is all your fault," she pointed at Leo. Leo smiled at his 9 months pregnant wife. "You are not fat. You are pregnant. There is a difference," he corrected her. "Leo!" Piper roared and a lightning vanquished the pillow right next to where Leo stood.
Leo jumped up. "Sweetie, watch your powers." Piper just growled at him. "I feel terrible, Leo." She shifted her position so she was sitting up. "My back hurts, I can´t lie down because then I cant breath. I can´t see my own fucking shoes. And I have to pee all the time."
Leo sighted and gave her a sympathetic look. "I´m sorry sweetie but think about it. Very soon we will have our little baby girl here. Isn't that worth it?" he asked. Piper pouted. "Yeah, I guess it is. I just wish it would get out already." Leo laughed and kissed her forehead. "I´m sure she will but maybe it just feels too good to be in there so she doesn't want to come out."
"Well," Piper grumbled. "She just has to. Or else she will have one pissed mother on her hands." "Piper," Leo exclaimed. "Do you have to swear so much?" She nodded angrily. "Well you try. You would so curse too." Leo sighted again. Safest thing would be to agree. "I know sweetie," he therefore said and kissed her. "I will go and see what everybody else is doing." Piper nodded. "Just hurry back, kay? My back is killing me."
Leo came down the stairs looking so tired. "So how's the mother," Kyle chippered. Leo just shot him a deadly stare. "You just wait, Brody. You just wait." Kyle gave him a sly grin. "But until then.. How´s the mother?"
"She is fine," Leo grumbled. "Where is everybody?"
"Paige is out shopping with Phoebe. She told me she needed new shoes. Prue is out getting new witchy supplies. She is getting big, huh?" Kyle noted. Leo nodded. "How is Pheebs? Did she stop vomiting?" Kyle shook his head. "Or, well she drank some of the tea Piper used to drink so she hopes to hold it down while they shop. With Piper out they have to get the stuff for Christmas now." Leo nodded. "I can´t believe how fast the past nine months have pasted us by." "Yeah but with Paige getting kidnapped and you babys birth getting closer I guess we all sort of forgot about it." Kyle added.
"Where is Bane and Cole?" Leo asked checking the room for the rest of the family. "They are down there," Kyle pointed at the floor. "Cole said both he and Bane have been hearing some stuff about the babys birth." Leos eyes narrowed at the mention of that but Kyle waved his hands to comfort. "Cole said if they heard anything they would come up here in the second they heard." Leo sighted. "Is that supposed to make me feel better?"
"Leo!" Pipers voice called. Both Kyle and Leo orbed out in the second they heard her.
"Piper," Leo yelled orbing in with Kyle right behind him. "What is it? What´s wrong?" "I don't know," Piper hesitated. "I feel kinda weird… In the lower part of my back. It hurts but not really hurts," she mused. Leo placed his hand on the mentioned spot and pressed. "I cant feel anything," he mumbled. "It won't heal." Piper shock her head. "No. I didn't expect it too but… I don't know. When are my sisters coming back?" "Soon," Kyle said giving Piper a comforting smile. She sighted and laid back down. "I think I want to sleep. Is that okay?" Leo kissed her head. "Of course, sweetie. I love you." She blew him an air kiss.
At nighttime the stars shone more brightly than it usually did. Prue noticed that as she came downstairs to get a sandwich with ham, pickles and jelly. She giggled by her self as she thought of the concept of the food she craved. So weird but all the women of the Halliwells had been having some strange cravings for food.
After Piper was done vomiting she asked for ice cream, vanilla flavor, with mustard and pickles. And Phoebe, though she wasn't done vomiting she had the urge to eat tomato salad with tomatoes, onions, olives and the surprise: whipped cream and pickles. Prues eyes narrowed as she noticed the fact all the women eat pickles in the food. Funny, she thought to herself.
Entering the kitchen she picked the needed ingredients for her sandwich and a few minutes later she was happily chewing on her food. Walking though the hallway she suddenly heard a voice calling out to her. "Prue? Is it you?"
She turned and went for the sun room. Smiling she sat down beside her sister and placed a hand on her very large belly. "Is she kicking?"
Piper groaned but then smiled. "Yeah. She is kicking and turning and pressing on my bladder. If you don't stop, mommy´s gonna get sleep deprived." Piper said the last part to the baby. Prue smiled. "You hear that angel girl? Better start listening."
She stuffed the last part of her sandwich into her mouth and stop up. "I getting get into bed before Bane wakes and starts to worry." Pipers head tilted to the side. "He does that a lot huh?" she asked. Prue nodded. "He does. I think its because he loves me." Piper smiled. "Me too. Now go to sleep while your baby is still being still." Prue blew her a kiss before orbing out and soon after Piper heard her sisters bed give as she laid back in.
Sighting she tried to stand up and had to laugh out loud as she fell back down. She was really big now. She couldn't even get up of a chair anymore. Moaning she tried again but a sharp pain interrupted her motions and thought. The pain was overwhelming and Piper gasped. "What was that?" she mumbled as she got up. Breathing shallowly she took a step towards the living room when suddenly another pain settled in her stomach and she felt herself fall to the floor.
"Leo!" she cried out as she fell clutching her stomach. Leo orbed in, sleepingly looking around for the owner of the call. "Piper!" his eyes snapped wide open as he saw her lie on the floor holding her stomach. "Leo," she breathed as he help her up and carried her to the sofa. "What is happing?"
She smiled. "Its coming." She moaned again and hugged her belly close. "What is coming? What is hurting?" Leo was desperate seeing his wife in so much pain. Piper glared at him as the contraction faded. "The baby, you idiot," she hissed. A feeling of a snap and water flew from her. "Oh my God," Leo gasped. "You´re in labor" "You think," Piper gritted out though her clenched teeth.
"Oh my God. What should I do?"
Piper opened her mouth but then. "So it was true. She was right." Leo snapped around and looking at the intruder. "Who the hell are you?" he yelled.
The man grinned. "Name´s Oloco. I´m a warlock who will take your child to the might sorceress Thara." With that sentence he grabbed onto Piper and with a wave of his hand he sent Leo flying into a wall where he fell down and when he looked up Piper was no where to be seen. "Piper!" he screamed and fell to his knees as he realized he had failed to do what he swore to do when he married her. To protect her.
Paige bursted out in tears when Leo was done telling them what had happened. She couldn't believe it. The damn underworld had to ruin the most joyful event in their life. Her tears turned into rage and she dashed them angrily away. "What do we do?" she asked standing up.
Phoebe sat the sofa with her arms around Leo to comfort him. She short Cole a short look and he nodded. He gave Bane a poke and almost as if they read each others mind they shimmered out.
"Where are they going," Prue asked. "To see if anyone knows anything in the underworld." Phoebe used her hand to lift Leos head. "Listen to me Leo. You did what you could do to save her. You listening to me? This is not your fault."
"But," Leo interrupted her. "I was supposed to keep her safe. Her and our," his voice broke and he hid his face in his hands. "Come," Paige said taking his hands. "You need to rest." She orbed him out and upstairs into his and Pipers bed. "I will call you when we find something." "If you find something," he whispered brokenly. "When!" Paige yelled at him. "We will find her. And your baby. I won´t accept it if we don't." With that she orbed out and Leo heard them downstairs taking, making plans to help Piper.
Closing his eyes he summoned the power of the Elder inside him and tried with al his might to locate Piper. Normally he always felt her inside because she was so close to him he sometimes knew what she wanted before she did.
He sighted as the place inside him where she usually were was so empty he wanted to cry. "Oh Piper," he whispered. "Where are you?"
"You can´t feel her?" Prue said to Kyle. He shook his face. She could see it in his eyes.
"Okay," Paige said orbing in. "What do we know?"
Phoebe was sitting with Book of Shadows in her arms turning pages in the faint hope there was something in there that would help them.
Prue stood with a crystal, scrying for her sister. She narrowed her eyes in concentration but nothing. "I can´t find her anywhere," she moaned as she threw the crystal down on the table.
"What about the blood to blood spell? Couldn't that find her?" Phoebe asked turning pages. Prue thought a little when sighted. "It couldn't hurt."
"Candle," Paige called and a candle appeared in swirls of orbs. She placed them and looked at her sisters. Opening her mouth she and the two others chanted:
"Blood to blood
I summon the
Blood to blood
Return to me"
Small drops of their blood fell into the light but nothing.
"How about the spell ´to call a lost witch´?" Paige suggested. Prue nodded. "We have to try everything," she stated taking Paiges hand and Phoebes with the other.
"Powers of the witches rise
Course unseen across the skies
Come to us who call you near
Come to us and settle here"
Nothing happened. "We have to keep trying," Prue stated though gritted teeth.
Piper woke up as a sharp pain settled in her stomach. She wriggled in pain and was about to call out for Leo when she noticed the rock hard walls and the cold entering her bones.
She was scared lifting her hands she fired an explosion but nothing happened to the red light surrounding her. "Leo," she cried out. She waited but nothing. Another pain shot though her and this time she couldn't help the cry of pain escaping from her lips. She hugged her stomach whispering softly: "Please don't come out yet. Please stay inside. Its to dangerous out here." She caressed the large belly. "I will keep you safe, I promise. I won´t let anything happen to you."
A hoarse laughter interrupted her. "You shouldn't make promises you can´t keep," the voice crackled. Scared, Piper turned her head towards the voice. "Who are you," she said, trying to keep her voice steady.
A rough laughter sounded and an old woman appeared. Her hair was a dirty grey and face wrinkled. "I´m Thara. I will be the one who is raising the first born child of the Charmed one and her Elder husband." The woman giggled.
"No," Piper moaned as a contraction hit her. She clutched her stomach tightly. As the contraction faded she raised her hands and fired a lightning after the woman but the lightning exploded as it hit the red shield and the woman laughed. "You can´t hurt me as long as I´m out here. I´m protected by the large protective shield I have set around you. One of my many gifts," she added. "I wont come into the field until the babys ready to come out and then you will to far away in the pain to hurt me."
Thara grinned as Piper again screamed out in pain. "No! Leo!!" she yelled.
"Nothing! I don't understand," Phoebe yelled out in frustration. She had been so sure the book would help them as it always had. Prue plopped down beside her. "We have to do something soon. Leo said she was in labor and we don't want our niece to be held by evil for the first time someone holds her in her life."
Paiges eyes was red and she was cold. She had failed. Kyle held her trying to comfort her. He didn't know what to do.
A ripple told them Cole and Bane was back. "Anything?" Prue asked. "I think we might have something," he told her sitting down beside her. "But its very bad news."
Phoebe looked at Cole. "Tell us!" she demanded.
Cole sighted. He really didn't want to be the one to tell the love of his life that her sister was as good as dead.
Taking a deep breath he started. "The warlock is named Oloco. He´s bad enough on his own but his boss is a very powerful sorceress Thara. She is so powerful that the Source himself banned her from the underworld. We think she is trying to make a comeback by taking the first born baby of a Charmed one. Bonus is the baby also has the powers of a whitelighter. It will give her ultimate power."
Paige began to cry and Kyle kissed her forehead. "I will orb up and see what they say." In blue orbs he disappeared.
"One of her powers," Bane said. "is the power to hide whom ever she wants."
Phoebe narrowed her eyes, thinking. "I think I could write a spell to take care of that and then we just have to get Kyle or Leo to try and sense her." Prue nodded. "Do it," she commanded. Phoebe stood up and dragged Cole with her out in the kitchen to write."
Down under Pipers contractions was getting less and less apart. Her screams of pain and desperation rang though the cave so fast she barely had any chance to rest. Her head was spinning trying to come up with ways to save her baby.
"So," a voice said and Thara appeared. "Now I will come in and check how far a long you are." She lifted the shield and hurried in to Piper. Smiling she placed it back on top of them. Then she said: "Soon your girl will be here, Piper."
"No," Piper gasped. "no, please no. I wont push. I wont."
"You better," Thara said smiling evilly. "Or else I will have to cut her out of you and even though you will die after she is out this way you might get a glance of her. And besides, if the baby is in there too long after the water broke she will die. And you wont have that," she grinned. Piper screamed tears steaming out of her eyes. "No! Leo! Help me!" she cried.
"No! Leo! Help me". Leos head snapped up. He heard her. He was sure of it. Piper called out for him. Not even thinking he acted on instinct and orbed out.
"I got it," Phoebe yelled running into the living room together with Cole. "I got the spell."
Paige and Prues heads snapped up and Paige flew at Phoebe hugging her closely. "Thank the Gods."
In that second Kyle orbed in. "You need a power of four spell," he said. "A power of four? But we only have a power of three spell," Paige noted.
"Not anymore," Kyle said.
"With the power of four
We banish you
Forever more"
A powerful feeling settled in the hearts of Prue, Phoebe and Paige. They smiled. "We are as one," Phoebe whispered.
"Okay," Prue stepped into her leader role again. "Lets do it. Read the spell, Pheebs. Lets get our sister back."
"Wait," Paige called. "Let me get Leo first." Prue nodded and she orbed out.
"Leo?" Paige yelled as she formed into herself from orbs. "Leo?" No answer. She narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. Shaking her head she orbed out again.
"He´s not there," the orbs of Paige said. The woman herself appeared looking wildly around the room. "Then where the hell is he?" Prue yelled.
Phoebe jumped up and by chance she grabbed on to one of Leos jackets which sucked her into a premonition.
Premonition
Piper lying in a bed, crying, hugging her stomach. A woman standing above her yelling at her to push. Piper crying out for Leo to help her. A blue shine and orbs in which Leo appeared. Piper yelling out for him. The woman holding out her arms summoning a bunch of demons and darklighter. Leo getting shot by an arrow. Leo calling out Pipers name then dying. Piper crying out in pain and then a small bundle in the woman's arms. The woman hurling a knife into Pipers chest. Piper crying out Leos name before closing her eyes.
Premonition end
"Argh," Phoebe gasped as she came out of the vision. She was shaking and tears stood in her eyes. "What did you see," Paige asked taking her hand. Prue rushed over and hugged Phoebe trying to give her strength.
"He´s there. With her. In the cave. Piper called out for him and he appeared. And then he was killed. The woman, I presume it was the sorceress Thara, summoned demons and darklighter and he was killed. Then the little baby was born and Piper killed too," Phoebe was sobbing and Cole gave Prue a look and she let go of Phoebe and let him hold her.
Prue went into Banes waiting arms and let him hold her for a few precious moments before pulling herself out, drying her eyes and getting a resolved face. "We need to get there now," she stated. "And we have to use the spell you wrote," She told Phoebe." To remove the shield that holds Piper in."
Phoebe nodded. "It´s ready." Paige looked at Kyle and said. "Let´s go."
The three sisters took each others hands and chanted:
"Powers of the witches rise
Course unseen across the skies
Take us to our sister harmed
Take us to the other Charmed"
A bright pink light absorbed them and moved them with the speed of light leaving three confused men in the living room of the manor.
"Where the hell did they go?" Cole roared. "Can you sense them," Bane cried to Kyle. He closed his eyes and tried to feel them but nothing. "I can´t. They must be inside the cave now. Once they remove their shield I might get a read," he yelled back.
In the cave Piper was hurting badly. She was having contractions which made her want to push but at the same time she wanted so badly to hold the baby inside where it was safe. She pressed her eyes shut as to block out the world but the pain and worry was unbearable.
A jingle and a soft light and a voice called out her name. Her head snapped up and she yelled out: "Leo!" Because it was him. He was standing in the middle of the cave eyes full of tears of concern and anger.
Then Thara stepped out of the shadows and with a wave of her hand a bunch of demons and even worse darklighter appeared.
"Oh no," Piper moaned as she saw an arrow heading straight for Leos chest.
"Arrow," a voice called and the arrow disappeared in swirl of blue light. The arrow reappeared in the chest of the darklighter who fired it.
"Piper," Phoebe yelled and Piper lifted up her head to see Prue, Phoebe and Paige come running. Phoebe chanted out her new written spell:
"What I saw
Must not come true
I call upon the witches might
Remove this shield with my Charmed right"
In a golden glimmer the red shield disappeared and soon after Piper felt her sisters arms hugging her tightly.
"Here," Prue gasped. She quickly gave Piper a piece of paper showing her the new power of four spell.
She nodded and together the four sisters chanted:
"With the power of four
We banish you forever more"
Thara gasped and smoke began to rise from her chest. She grasped on to it and began to scream. Soon she stood in flames and with a loud boom the sorceress was vanquished.
Leo rushed to Piper and took her hand. She looked up at him gratefully and with tears in her eyes. Then she cried out in pain as a very strong contraction hit her. Leo felt his bones in his hand almost breaking with the power of the force Piper used as she pushed out the baby.
Prue took place between her legs and urged her on. "Push Piper push." She cried. Piper cried out and yelled. "I can´t I cant." Leo kissed her forehead and urged: "Yes you can. Just push!"
"Leo," a voice yelled and he snapped around to see an arrow heading towards him. "Arrow," Paige called and the arrow disappeared. She turned to him. "You two help Piper give birth. We will hold of the rest of the demons." Then she orbed out again and into the battle where Phoebe was fighting with al her might.
"Look out," Paige shouted at Phoebe as an energy ball flew towards her. Phoebe turned to see the energy ball in front of her face. Another energy ball came and exploded the one in front of her.
Cole stood before her, his face contorted in anger. "Stay away from her," he yelled. Bane fired one into a darklighter which exploded. Phoebe hit two with lightnings and demons exploded. Cole hit on with another energy ball and a darklighter exploded.
"Energy ball," Paige called and exploded the last demon with a big blast.
"Piper," Phoebe whispered and raced to her sister. "Argh," Piper cried. "I can´t do this!" "You can," Leo yelled. "You have to. Do you hear me? You have to." "No! I can´t," she sobbed.
"One last big push," Prue urged her and gave Piper a grave look. "One last push." Piper gave Leo a pleadingly look. "Push!" Prue yelled.
With one last scream Piper pushed out the baby and a small cry sounded though the walls of the cave.
"Piper," Paige screamed and raced to her sister. "Are you okay?" Piper fell back into the cold bed and closed her eyes. "Look," Prue sobbed. "Look at your little angel." Leo turned to Piper and checked her out. She was okay. Then he turned his attention to his new little girl. "Here you go daddy," Prue said her voice thick with emotion. Leo held out his arms and for the first time his little girl was placed into his arms.
She was pretty. Her face was wrinkled and red and she was crying until Leo stroke her face gently. Then she settled and after a little while she opened her eyes. Leo had tears in her eyes as he looked down at her baby blue eyes. He knew babies always had blue eyes but he was pretty sure she would be a blue eyed girl. Her hair was brown as her mothers. Leo grinned as he turned around and placed the girl into her mothers waiting arms.
"Look honey" he said. "This is your mother." Piper was crying as the girl looked up at her. "Look what we did," she giggled to Leo. "Isn't she beautiful?" Leo just nodded.
Then Phoebe and Paige pushed Leo aside and cooed at the girl. "Oh look at you. So cute," Paige giggled. Phoebe took the little hand. "Oh my. See such a small hand."
Prue waddled over and sat down beside Piper. "You did good, honey." She smiled and kissed her forehead. Piper looked up. "Thank you. For everything." She smiled. Prue nodded.
Then Cole, Bane and Kyle snuck themselves to a look. "She is an angel, Leo," Kyle said. "She is gorgeous Piper," Cole noted and Bane agreed. He smiled and gave Prue a hug. "Next time it will be our turn," he said and Prue looked at him with tears in his eyes. "Yes it will be." The girl blinked at them. "And I can´t wait"
