"You can't stop me witch." He said
"Maybe not. "She answered, "But there are three that can."
"Ah. You mean the Charmed Ones?" He asked with a smirk.
"They will defeat you." She answered. As she plunged the astheme into his lower right side. If he hadn't moved suddenly she would have hit him square in the chest.
Clutching his side the blood ran through his fingers as he laughed at her. "Is that your best shot? I hope not for your sake, as this will be a very short battle." he laughed as he he threw her against the far wall
Regaining her balance she thrust her own hand forward, throwing an icy wind towards him. Only to have him freeze it, and her in place.
"When will you witches ever learn?" He said looking at the knife lying on the ground, that she had stabbed him with. He bent down and picked it up as he slowly walked over to her frozen form.
"Son may I?" Asked a voice from the shadows suddenly.
"Of course father." He said as he handed the knife to the voice. Who in turn thrust it in to the witch's heart as she unfroze.
"I think it may be time for you to meet your destiny my Son."
"The Charmed Ones? Do you really think that I am ready father?"
"Yes, I do. But I don't think that they are." He laughed evily, as his son joined him. "Now let us take a look at that wound." The father said as he gently touched the spot where the astheme entered his son, causing a sharp pain.

"Prue I'm telling you. Someone or something is plotting something. It's been to quiet."
"Pipe, your just being paranoid."
"I am not. When was the last time we were attacked? What? 3wks ago. You don't think that's in the least bit suspicious?"
"I didn't say it wasn't." Prue answered her middle sister, "But I still think you're being paranoid."
Throwing her hand up in defeat. "Ok fine." She said as she continued to stock the shelves at P3.
"Not to change the subject or anything. Where's Leo been lately?" Prue asked her sister.
"Oh he got called away on some big assignment. We try not to discuss work."
"Probably a good idea when you consider his work." Prue commented with a smile.
"Whose work? "Phoebe asked as she walked down the steps of the club.
"Phoebe? I thought you had classes this afternoon?" Piper asked thinking that her sister had skipped classes.
"Pipe I know that look. Do you honestly think that I would skip class and then come her to face you two?"
"Good point Pheebs. So why are you here?" Piper asked concerned that her sister had had a premonition.
"Well. The Prof. never showed up so we all decided to leave." Phoebe told her sisters. "It's weird though. She never seemed like the type that would just bail on a class like that."
"Is that your Wicca class?" Piper asked with a slight chuckle.
"Yes. And I don't see what's so funny about that. What better way to study and learn about Wicca then in school? And better yet..get credit for it."
"Ok Pheebs, just relax. Piper was just picking on you." Prue stepped in and said in the defense of the middle sister.
"Yeah well…AUGH." Phoebe started before bending over in extreme pain.
"Phoebe?" both her sisters said with concern as they ran to her side and helped her sit down on the nearest couch.
"Oh god it hurts. Prue make it stop." Phoebe begged her oldest sister as she cried out hugging her right side.
"Phoebe let me see." Prue said motherly. She hated it when either of her sisters hurt. She was supposed to protect them.
Piper pulled Phoebe to her letting Prue get a look at her side. They were both worried that Phoebe was going through a similar connection that she had shared with Beau.
"Phoebe. Sweetie you have to move you arms, please." Prue told her.
"I got you Pheebs. Let Prue look." Piper reassured her sister.
They had finally managed to get Phoebe to move her arms out of the way. Seeing no physical marks on their sister Prue gently touched around where Phoebes arms had been.
"Tell me where it hurts Phoebe. Ok?"
"Ok." Phoebe managed out as she fought back the tears.
Prue gently pressed into Phoebes lower right side, until her sister bent forward suddenly screaming in pain.
"Oh god Prue we have to do something." Piper said trying to hold onto Phoebe.
"I agree. I think it may be her appendix." Prue said, "Pheebs sweetie, can you walk?"
Phoebe tried to get up but the pain was to much as it shot through her side. "AUGH. Prue please."
"Ok sweetie. I know. Come on." Prue said as she lifted Phoebe with her power and carried her out to her car. "We're taking you to the hospital."
Arriving at the hospital, Prue picked up Phoebe again and carried her inside, with Piper just in front of her.
"Someone please." Piper called out to the nurses standing there.
Seeing Prue carrying Phoebe, one of the male nurses came up to them and took Phoebe out of her sisters arms. "What happened?" he asked
"I think it may be her appendix." Prue told him
"Ok wait here. "He said as he carried Phoebe off to the ER, leaving Prue and Piper to wait.
20Minutes later the Dr. came to the waiting room. "Halliwell family."
Prue and Piper both stood up. "That's us. How's our sister?"
"Well it wasn't her appendix." He told them
"Oh thank god. Piper said
"I've given her a mild sedative for her pain. But as far as we can tell she is perfectly healthy."
"Can we see her?" Prue asked
"Actually she should be out in a few minutes. I've discharged her."
With that Phoebe came around the corner, as Piper pulled her into a hug.
"You ok Honey?" Piper asked
"I think so."
Tucking a stray piece of hair behind her sisters ear. "So Dr. what do you think it was?" Prue asked
"I'm not sure. As I said she seems perfectly healthy. But the pain she felt was VERY real." He answered before turning to Phoebe. "go home and get some rest. That sedative that we gave you is going to start kicking in pretty soon."
"Thanx Dr." Prue said and the three sisters made their way to the car and out of the hospital. Not knowing what the next few days would bring. It would either tear them apart emotionally or bring them closer together.
