Dear Phoebe and Paige,

I feel like I make everyone leave. First Dad, than Mom, than Prue, and now Leo. There must be something wrong with me. I must cause too much pain, or am just to unbearable to be around for long amounts of time. I don't know how you've managed to last this long with me around, Phoebe. Paige, sooner or later you'll feel like it to.

My baby boy was brought into this world be Leo and I, and I caused Leo to go away. Wyatt is the only part of him I have left. I need him and I don't want him to go away either. So, I'm leaving him to be taken care of the people who will keep him and protect him for as long as he needs it, even though he might start protecting you. Before you three can go away I'm going away first.

I hope you know how much I love you all. You are my everything, and I don't know what life would be like without you, probably just single witches on their own, without a power of three. The power of three, another thing that is partly my fault is still around. If Prue and I had both died you Phoebe could have been free from evil, and you Paige could never have been brought into this whole mess in the first place.

What I'm taking with me is already packed, and I'm telling you two I'm going to stop at the club. I've made a binding potion while you were out, to send my powers to Phoebe. You can protect to yourselves with the powers of three that way, but there will only be two.

Words cannot express how much I love you three. You are my family and there's nothing more important than that to me in the entire world, and I hope you know that. That's why I'm leaving. To stop causing pain and suffering. Maybe one day we'll meet again, and things will be better. I know you won't understand why I'm doing this, but believe me it's the right thing.

I love you,

your sister Piper

Piper folded the letter and put it back inside it's envelope. She had written it write after Leo left and became an elder and all she could think about was leaving. She'd actually packed her bags and was on the verge of walking out the door but couldn't do it.

Slowly she took the edge of the envelope to the burning white candle. She was doing a cleansing spell to herself to get rid of all the black magic that was in her system.

The sisters found out Chris was putting thoughts into Piper's head to make her leave so he could destroy the Power of Three. He came from the future where he was considered a lower class demon, but in the past he was very strong. So if he took their powers, he could rule the underworld. Chris only had whitelighter powers because he stole them from one, but in his future there weren't many whitelighters and a few elders.

They found on after questioning Piper and when Phoebe touched her shoulder she had a premonition. It showed her the truth about Chris, and quickly they vanquished him.

"Piper what are you doing?" Phoebe asked from the doorway of the attic where she stood with Paige.

"Getting rid of inner demons."
