A knock suddenly sounds at the manor's doors. Prue answers. There stands Daryl to Prue's surprise.

" Daryl ? What's going on ? It's 8:00 pm ."

" I know, and I'm sorry but I have bad news Prue."

" What is it ?"

" Can I come in first ?"

" Oh yeah, sure."

Daryl takes a seat on the couch, while Prue gets Piper and Phoebe downstairs. Both of them become very concerned and take a seat.

" Girls, your dad has been murdered."

Both Piper and Phoebe choke on his words, but Prue is the first to speak.

" When did this happen ?"

" About an hour ago. Guests in a room next door heard him scream and called security. They found Victor on a pool of blood."

All three girls cover their mouths in horror, but Phoebe manages to speak.

" This don't make sense. I seen him earlier today, around 5:00 pm. Everything was fine, or so I thought."

Prue shoots Phoebe a look of anger, then speaks.

" Phoebe how could you ? ! We agreed, but I shouldn't be surprised. You never do what I say."

" Prue, I can't help you resent him but I love him. Victor is our dad. I can do what I want, I'm 20 yrs old !"

" Alright ladies that's enough. There's gonna be an investigation tomorrow, so be prepared. Here's his I.D . Goodnight."

Handing Prue the I.D., Daryl leaves them to argue alone. Piper looks at Prue than speaks.

" Who would kill our dad Prue ?"

" Grams if she were here, but now I don't know guys. Whoever it was will be punished though."

Phoebe looks at Prue shocked.

" You angry that he's dead ? I thought you hated dad ."

" I thought I did to."

Piper and Phoebe look at Prue sadly, knowing things were not going to be easy.

Two hours later, Piper and Phoebe went to bed. Prue sneaked up to the attic, and got out a photo album. Taking a seat, she begins looking through them.

There were many Photos of her dad. Their parent's wedding, at Prue's 1st birthday party, helping her learn to ride a bike, their first family vacation. Deep down, she loved her dad but could never say it. Victor being gone forever, hurt to the core. He had left the world thinking Prue hated him.

Two days later, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe attended the funeral. It was held inside a church, due to Victor's beliefs. All three sisters sat holding hands, as the song amazing grace by Leanne Rimes was played :

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me...
I once was lost but now am found,was blind, but now, I see.
T'was grace that taught...my heart to fear and Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear...the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares...we have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far...and grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...his word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...as long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years...bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...then when we've first begun.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,that saved a wretch like me...
I once was lost but now am found,was blind, but now, I see.

By the time the song ended, both Piper and Phoebe were sobbing, but Prue refused to break down. Prue walked up to the altar and began talking.

" Thanks everyone for coming today on this sad occasion. Victor was me and my sister's dad. He wasn't around much, but I...I...loved him. As a kid I was daddy's little girl. Taught me about God, how to ride a bike, and later I obtained his coffee addiction. I hope our dad is in peace, with our mom."

Going back to her seat, Piper and Phoebe give her sad smiles to show their support. Prue could not believe she admitted she loved Victor.

Back at the manor, no one had much to say. However around 2 am, Phoebe called into Prue's bed. Prue turned over, not really surprised.

" Hey honey. Are you ok ?"

" I keep having nightmares about dad's death."

" Aw, honey. What happened in the nightmares ?"

" He...he was stabbed, then left to die by demons."

" Pheebs, it was just a dream. That's all."

" No, no it wasn't. Someone killed our dad Prue."

Phoebe breaks down, so Prue holds her tightly.

" Shhhh...shhhh it's ok, I'm here baby. It's ok, I'm here."

Eventually, Phoebe falls asleep. Prue can't sleep though. Did them being the charmed ones, kill Victor ? Maybe being magical was more a curse than a blessing.

Prue decides to get up, and summon Grams. Once in the attic, she summons her. Grams appears with a smile but Prue frowns.

" What are smiling about Grams. Victor is dead, and you're smiling ? ! How dare you !"

" Prue darling...I'm sorry about your dad. Really I am."

" Alright whatever. Who killed our dad ?"

" *Sighing* Two demons. Shape shifters."

" He was making a deal to get you three away from magic."

" He got himself killed ? ! Where can we find the demons ?"

" In the book of shadows. Under shape shifters. They are level 2's"

" Thank you."

" You're welcome. Blessed be darling."

Grams then disappears. Prue sighs. Phoebe's nightmare, weren't just dreams. They showed the past.
