By the way I thought I would mention (for legal purposes) that I don't own Charmed or any of its characters. However I do own the crazy ideas that randomly pop into my head. Like this one that came to me in the bathtub. (Weird right?)

Enjoy!

It all happened in a heartbeat. The blasts met and morphed into an exploding inferno that ripped through the Halliwell Manor destroying everything in its path. When the dust finally settled, there was nothing left. The only trace of the Manor that remained was the mountain of smoldering rubble that covered the lot where the house had previously stood on Prescott Street.

Phoebe stirred. It was dark, very dark, and something was pinning her down. She saw a tiny spec of light and tried to move toward it but it was too painful. She stopped and lay still. Closing her eyes she tried to absorb what had just transpired. 'There was a fight. We were fighting Billie and Christy. There was an explosion. They had the Hollow's power but so did we. We had the Hollow too…Piper, Paige, and me.

Her eyes shot open at the thought of her sisters. 'I have to find them.' With a sudden rush of adrenaline she freed herself of the rubble surrounding her which she realized had used to be the Conservatory. As her eyes began to focus on the scene in front of her a shockwave of panic spread through every part of her body. 'No one could have survived this. You did…maybe they did too.

"Piper?!...Paige?!" Her voice was desperate as she began what seemed like a hopeless search for her sisters. As she stumbled over the remains of the Manor she continued shouting their names all the time praying that someone would call back to her. Then she saw it; a pale white hand lying limp on the ground. The rest of the body was obscured by rubble so she couldn't be sure who it was. Before Phoebe could even think about it she was tossing aside shattered boards.

"No. Please…..please don't be…" She stopped. It was Christy, at least what was left of her. She didn't recognize the face, it was too disfigured and the rest of the body had been almost completely obliterated. But the shirt she recognized. It was one that Christy had bought when Phoebe had taken her shopping for the first time a few days after her arrival. 'Serves you right you Son of a….."

"Phoebe?" Phoebe was startled as the familiar voice of her sister brought her back to reality.

"Paige! Thank God you're alright." The two embraced but Phoebe quickly released her younger sister when she winced in pain. She stepped back to ask what was wrong but her question was answered before it left her lips.

An enormous chunk of Paige's right leg was missing. So much that Phoebe could see bare bone. To go long with this she also had a pretty nasty burn to her face and a dislocated shoulder that left her arm hanging uselessly at her side. Paige reading the look on her sister's face forced out some humor.

"Well, you don't look so hot either." This made Phoebe examine herself for the first time. She had some pretty bad cuts and bruises and the stabbing pain her side was probably a broken rib. The two sisters continued to look at each other for sometime. The silence was broken by Paige who had finally noticed the lifeless figure lying behind Phoebe.

"That's not…" but Phoebe answered before she could finish. She knew exactly what Paige was thinking by the tone of her voice.

"Christy. It's Christy and she's dead. Listen. We need to find Piper and get out of here."

So the search began once again and continued for the next several minutes. They left no smoldering pile unchecked

"Piper?!...Piper can you here me?" Phoebe's shouts rang out in the silence of the night. Her voice cracked as fear began to overwhelm her. She slumped against the remains of the staircase to catch her breath but only for a few seconds. 'Piper. I need to find Piper.' In her desperation to find her sister she ignored her own physical pain. She righted herself and continued. Paige limped up behind her.

"You don't think. That…….maybe she's….."

"Paige!" Phoebe had spotted her. There beneath the front door was Piper. In her haste to reach her sister she tripped and fell. She continued the rest of the journey on her hands and knees. Paige did nothing. Frozen with dread she simply watched as Phoebe began to uncover Piper.

"Damn it Paige! HELP ME!" Paige didn't move. So Phoebe worked alone. When she finally uncovered her sister her stomach plummeted. She could barley recognize her. Her whole body was soaked with blood. Her limbs were awkwardly bent and her face was smashed beyond recognition. Phoebe lifted her up and cradled her older sister in her arms.

"Piper…..Piper? Please sweetie wake up. Damn it. Don't leave me. Please I can't...I…without you….Please baby come back!" Phoebe continued to beg and plead but in her heart she knew that Piper was gone and she wasn't coming back.

Not this time.
