He felt alienated. The streets of San Francisco seemed unkind and unwelcoming as he walked under the heavy rain. He wondered how many times he would have to walk through these cold streets before he found a solution. His hair was wet and flat against his forehead, partly blocking his view. It was only a couple of blocks before he got to his apartment. It was amazing how you could walk in between so many people and still feel alone; how none of them could feel his anguish no matter how close to him they were. He had never felt so powerless in his life, he was not use to it, he was always in control, how did everything fall apart?

He passed in front of a High school right across his building and heard a group of girls giggle when he walked in front of them. They glared at each other and rudely pointed at him. He smiled. It wasn't long before when he would hear girls giggle and approach with a cocky smile on his face, always joking around. He felt a little better knowing the last ten years of his life hadn't ruined his looks. He rather fancied his aggressive looks, his badass aptitude he had left for good.

His darkish green eyes seemed to glow under the clouds that covered the sky. He was waiting for a red light to cross the streets, trying to pretend he didn't see the girls still smiling at him. He crossed the street, reached into hi pocket and pulled out one of his cigarettes. He covered it with his hand so it wouldn't get wet and made a run for it. He greeted the janitor at he reception, and walked slowly to the elevator. He entered, smiled at the elevator boy and rested against the wall behind him while he ascended to his place. He got out of the elevator, reached his keys in his left pocket and opened the door. The place looked as messy as it has been since he moved to San Francisco. The white walls and the black furniture made it looked a classy, elegant, thought it was a small apartment he managed to make it look good. He lay on his bed and finally light the cigarette. His dark hair was wetting his pillow but he didn't mind, it wasn't like he slept much anyway. He tried to relax his eyes and felt a sudden heaviness on his body, and dreamt….wishing the night wouldn't come.

Piper was pissed. Not only had the manager of the band that was suppose to play at P3 not called, but Leo hadn't been around all day since the elders called. Demons seemed to have backed off for a while; she couldn't understand what they could possibly want. She passed a hand through her hair and sighed. She missed him; she always did when things got to tough at work. She heard footsteps behind her and turned around happy. "Leo!"

But her face went from excited to sad when she saw it was just Prue. "Oh, it's just you" Piper said.

"Gee thanks, remind me to come her more often to pump up my self-esteem" Pre sat next to her at the bar.

"Oh, you know I'm happy to see you, I just…"

"Would be much happier to see Leo" Prue looked at Piper in the eye.

"…Yeah" Piper looked down a little sad. Prue put an arm around her shoulders and smiled.

" I'm sure he will be here soon, I mean, why would the elders want to keep him longer than they already have?"

"I was wondering that myself, not much has happened in the last couple of weeks, what could be so important?"

"Which brings me to my next point, I wanted to talk to you about it, thought It'll be easier if Phoebe was here too…"

"You know how busy she has been lately with her exams; I think we can exclude her of this one"

"You're right, well, I was walking through the park, going to a shoot, when out of nowhere I heard something behind me and I didn't quite see what it was but…"

"OH, no, no, no, no, no! " Piper's tone of voice increased as she said a "no". "I'm not going to let you ruin my demon-free week" Piper got up from the bar and walked quickly behind it to pour herself a drink.

"No, Piper, listen to me, ok? Isn't it suspicious that there haven't been any attacks lately and Leo has been called away a lot and, and…a wolf was following me?"

"A wolf?" Pipers asked in disbelieve. "Are you sure? Prue, maybe it was just a dog…"

"I know what a wolf looks like, ok? Thought now that I think about it I may have been a dog…" Prue went silent. She tried to remember, but all she could really remember was the feeling she got from this wolf/dog/animal. A feeling of desperation.

"See? There you go. You didn't seriously come here to talk to me about your surprising meeting with a wolf in San Francisco, did you?" Piper asked rhetorically.

"No, Piper, ok, I know you think it's ridiculous, but I sensed something was off, something about that wolf was just…"

"It was just your imagination Prue, what are the chances of a wolf appearing in the middle of the park?"

"I don't know, that's why I think we should look it up…"

"Prue…" Prue knew what that "Prue" meant. She thought about it and realized how stupid she sounded, a wolf?

"Ok, you're right. I'm making a big deal out of nothing…I just…I've had such a boring week, my job it's just boring and…"

"You are making up demons for fun? I thought you couldn't sink any lower since you became a receptionist at our house when you stopped working for Bucklands" Piper joked. Prue laughed along with her.

Phoebe walked though the parking lot of the university. This was the fifth time she had stayed up studying 'till the library closed. She was exhausted; so much the she wondered how she was going to drive to the manor without falling asleep. She opened the door to the car and sat there, she felt something, what was it? Anger? She looked around. Nothing; just the clouds that covered the sky at night. She heard a sound and saw the plats moving, then she felt a cold wind, but she had the feeling it was more than the wind moving. In a corner of the parking lot, she saw him. A tall thin man with blond, very short hair was looking directly at her. She felt dizzy, and looked again. He wasn't there. She looked around just in case, he wasn't there, only a couple of more students walking towards their own car and a girl walking a dog. She decided to go for the most convenient choice, and forget about it. It must have been her imagination. She started the car and headed home, thought the feeling of anger from the moment earlier didn't leave her. Where had that feeling come from?

He had seen him, in the corner of the parking lot watching at that woman. He had to stop him, and find her first. He couldn't let Liam get away with it. He had fooled her, making himself unrecognizable with the help of Tessa. He knew this was the beginning of the end, but he wasn't going to hide anymore. The only thing he had to do was get to her first.
