Chapter 1 [Oh no! It's too late!] Twenty-two year old Phoebe Halliwell miserably thought. She felt numb and helpless as reporters and police surrounded her. [No.it couldn't be. It shouldn't be.]

She watched as the rescue team carries Piper Halliwell on a stretcher. Phoebe felt hot tears stung her beautiful brown eyes. [I was too late. I'm a failure, as always. I can't take it anymore. Why can't I be more like Prue? Why is it that I'm always a failure? I botched at my studies, and at finding our dad. And now I failed to save everybody and especially one of the persons I loved the most. Piper.] She exploded into uncontrollable sobs.

"Phoebe?!" A familiar voice broke in.

Phoebe felt relieved when she heard her older sister's voice. She turned around and saw the big, hysterical eyes that Prue possessed.

Prue's eyes shifted to Phoebe and gave her the biggest and warmest embrace.



"Pheebs! Are you alright? Where's Piper?" Prue said, putting her two, slender hands to cup her younger sister's face.

Phoebe began to cry again. She couldn't help it. She grieved when she recalled the look of pain on Piper's face when she laid on the stretcher.

"Phoebe! Answer me!" Prue shook her hard.

"Th-the building collapsed and sh-she was inside. Piper was under a big wall," Phoebe sobbed. "I think she broke her arm badly. They also said she lost a lot of blood. Many people-" Phoebe couldn't even say it. She was too terrified. Prue's eyes glistened. She hugged her sister again.

"Oh Prue! What if.?"

Prue shook her head.

"No, no, of course not. Nothing would happen to her. Don't even think about it. Uh-uh. No way."

[I can't believe Prue's determination, it's admirable. Well, I hope she's right.] Phoebe thought.

Prue left her for awhile to ask if they could ride with Piper in the ambulance. But, no can do. They wouldn't let the two Charmed Ones. The sisters just decided to drive to the hospital where the victims are to be brought.

"How did this happen?" Prue asked Phoebe softly as she turned on the ignition.
