I'm borrowing from other seasons on this one. So you might get a few surprises.
Paige walked past Phoebe and Leo who were holding Piper up. Heading for the attic, grabbing the book of shadows she thumbed through. Not knowing what she was looking for she stood in front of the pedastal instead.
"GRAMS!!!!!!!!!"
Nothing.
"GRAMS GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE NOW!!!!!!"
Again Nothing.
With her shouting she'd brought Phoebe up the stairs,
"What are you doing?"
"I'm not having Piper this upset, I'll get Prue back here even if it means going up there and kicking Elder butt."
"Um, Paige? You should know that they dont allow the dead to visit for a reason. It was Prue's time to go, I miss her beyond words and I'd love to have her back."
She looked at Phoebe amazed that she had the nerve to breathe those words, she couldnt understand her attitude towards the loss of a sister.
"I don't care, it wasn't Prue's time. I get this icky feeling in my stomach every time I hear or think those words."
"What do you mean?" Phoebe looked worried, could her premonition be correct then?
"I mean I feel it was the wrong thing to happen, you were meant to meet me but not to lose a sister."
Grabbing Paige's arm she pushed her towards the candles, while she flicked through the book of shadows for the spell to bring Prue back.
"That will take too long, we need."
"You need too allow Prue time to get used to being dead."
Grams became whole as the last orbs settled, holding back the usual greeting she looked for Piper.
"She's devastated Grams, just as I am. Why is Paige getting instincts that say it wasnt Prue's time to die?"
Looking nervous she tried brushing it off, that it was her destiny.
"It wasn't her destiny and you know it." Cole shimmered in.
"You know nothing, your just a demon out for what you can get." Grams went on the attack, she knew he was right but didn't want the girls to know it.
Stepping between them Paige and Phoebe pushed them apart, standing next to Cole Phoebe tried keeping her tears in check.
Paige looked at the door and smiled as Piper walked in with Leo.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing my angel, how are you holding up?"
Grams went to hug her, pulling back she looked at Cole who was looking at everything else but her.
"OK Cole, you have never lied to me before so tell me what is going on?"
Looking her in the eye for the first time, while everyone held their breathe he explained about Prue dying before her time.
That time had been changed and neither side should have that ability, as everything was meant to be in its time and space.
Holding onto Leo as she stumbled, helping her into the chair Leo kissed her and orbed out.
"Where's he going?" Grams wasn't pleased if Leo went nosing in things that didn't concern him.
"Grams, you have bound our powers, kept us in the dark over different things in our three years as witches. You have done some wonderful things too, but keeping Prue our own sister away from us. That is barely forgiveable."
"Piper, Grams had her reasons." Paige tried softening the conversation.
"No Paige, this time they have gone too far. They took a good soul, a good witch before her time and I want her back. We NEED her back our destiny isn't finished till it is time."
Wiping away her tears, Cole sat next to her cradling her wishing Leo hadn't left the attic. He motioned for Phoebe to sit with Piper, shimmering out he'd whispered a promise to Piper.
"See things get too hot and he runs, typical demon."
Grams spat the words out.
"Enough Grams, he's done alot of good. He saved me, helped Prue go back in time. Saved Paige from the Source of all evil, helped Leo when Prue died and has been a rock since. Just because he's half demon doesnt make him fully evil."
Phoebe sighed heavily, wondering where they had gone to. Orbs swirled around and Leo stood before them with tears of anger in his eyes.
"What happened?" Pipers eyes pleaded for good news.
"They wont release her, they say it was her time to go and we need to move on from this. I argued your case, I threatened to bring you all up here to get Prue. They wouldn't budge."
Fresh sobs ripped through Piper and Phoebe, Paige was pacing back and forth with anger at the injustice.
"That's that then, you girls can move on and after a time Prue may be allowed to visit."
Grams smiled triumphantly at the news.
"How can you say that? How dare you stand there and agree with the elders! There must be something more that we can do to get Prue back?"
Paige let the words flow, she couldn't not do anything staring at Leo she smiled. Grabbing his hand and laying her hand on Phoebe's shoulder she orbed them upto the Elders.
"What is going on?" an elder watched as they formed in front of him.
"We're here to get Prue, and don't stand in our way or we'll do things that will break so many rules on so many levels your heads will spin!"
Paige was in no mood for being messed about, walking around pulling hoods back she went through those around her. The others got over their shock and started doing the same.
"Piper? Phoebe?" Hearing their names they turned slowly.
"Not so fast!" a hand grabbed Prue and orbed her out, coming back he smiled wickedly.
"You bring her back or so help me God you'll be sorry!" Piper looked him square in the eyes hands at the ready.
"Hold your hands Piper, if you want Prue then you must go and find her. Prove to us it wasn't her time to die and then you can have her back. If not you can go back down and continue with your life."
"You have got to be kidding us! That is not fair, you know the Source had tempest and shouldn't have had the advantage. Prue should've been healed but you didn't help Leo."
Phoebe pulled herself up as high as she could; she wasn't going to go on a fishing expedition for her sister if she could be brought to her.
Leo stood back allowing the girls to get their anger out, it was Piper who shocked them all.
"Ok, here are the rules the first is you DO NOT interfere. One speck of interference and Prue is sent back to us, second any demon interference we go on a free for all and Prue gets sent back to us. Third any tricks of any kind."
"And Prue gets sent back, I think we have got the idea. Now here is how it's going to start she will have no memory of who you are or her life with you. If you can get her to remember then she comes back to you, any one demon, elder or whitelighter who interferes and she will remember automatically."
Shaking hands they orbed back to the house, sitting on the couch with tea in front of them. Piper and Phoebe curled together as Paige and Leo sat in the chairs.
"Ok, how do we find her now she's human with no powers?"
"Well Leo can't help, but he can make sure no one interferes with Prue."
Phoebe smiled weakly, yawning she made her excuses to head to bed. "Where's Paige sleeping? She can't go home now it's too late."
Phoebe smiled, "She can have my bed and I'll have Prue's for tonight. Borrow any of my pyjamas, then you can say you really are our sister."
Smiling they headed for bed, Leo and Piper to their room and the girl to theirs.
