Prue's POV

As I drove back to work, I sighed, thinking how horrible I have been towards Phoebe lately. I really hate myself when I yelled at her. I am going to make it up to her somehow, I guess I am going to have to try to be more sisterly. I turned into my usual parking space at Buckland's Auction House, and went to my office. I started on my appraisals for Rex and Hannah again. My head went up as I heard someone knock at my door. Something looked oddly familiar about this guy that came into my office. Soft brown eyes, Black salt and pepper hair.

"I was told that you could help me, appraise this," he told me as he pulled a gorgeous ring off his finger. I reluctantly took it from him and pulled a book off my bookshelf.

"You do know it would've been better if you went to the house appraiser right?"

"I was there already, and they would've needed a week. I did not want something as precious as this family heirloom gone from me for a week." I did have to admit it was a beautiful ring.

"This is just going to be a rough guess,"

"Guess away," he took a seat as I pulled my reading glasses. I took a look at the ring and it looked like 17th century.

"The stones look Egyptian. It was said to protect for spells, curses and the sort." He nodded for me to continue, and now I that nagging feeling was growing. "The stones are set in two, duality, marriage of man and a woman."

"What does this all tell you?" Ok, who does this guy think he is? I took a look at the ring and I realized that it had belonged to Victor, our father. How I am able to think of him like that is beyond me.

"Where did you say you got this ring from? What was your name?" I asked hoping my instincts were wrong for once, and that it was not him.

"I think you know who I am Prudence," NO, he can't be back, why couldn't he just stay away? Never mind that, I need to get him out of here. I need to protect my sisters from this scum.

"Get the hell out of my office and stay away from us!" I threw his oh so precious ring hard onto my desk near him.

"I am staying at the Ballmark, and maybe you and your sisters could come for dinner say tomorrow?" What the hell is wrong with him, does he think he could just waltz back into our lives, after missing twenty years of it. I think not!

"HOW dare you, after abandoning us? You don't have any right to ask this out of us!"

"Fiery temper, that reminds me of someone I know." He said stood up and retrieved his ring. He is comparing me to himself?

"I am nothing like you! I would not leave my responsibilities and especially not my family."

"I know we have issues to work thro-,"

"Oh, we have the whole subscription. Now, get out before I have security haul your ass out of here."

"Is that anyway to talk to your father?"

I grabbed my office phone more than willing to see him get hauled out of here. He turned around and left my office. God, why did this just have to happen now? I dialed the house and hoped that Piper or Phoebe would answer the phone.

"Come on," I murmured to myself.

"Hello?" Phoebe answered the phone, sounding a bit out of breath.

"Phoebs, its Prue," I could even hear that my own voice sounded panicked.

"Prue, is something wrong?" she sounded worried.

"I can't talk about it over the phone. Grab the Book of Shadows and hide it somewhere else, it is not safe. I am taking the rest of the day off, something is going on,"

"Alright Prue, see ya in a couple minutes," I hung up the phone and grabbed my purse, and headed towards my car.

Piper's POV

"Prue says the Book of Shadows is in danger." Phoebe said getting to her feet. "She said she's on her way home and that we need to hide it somewhere else for the time being."

"All right." Piper got to her feet and the two sisters walked up to the attic and grabbed the book and hid it in the trunk where Phoebe first found it. They said a magic spell to protect the trunk so that no one could come close to touching it without being sent back against the wall.

"So Prue will be here any minute now." Phooebe said sitting down on the couch again.

"Sounds like her." Piper said cocking her head as they heard a car screech to a stop out front. "Wow it must be big; Prue doesn't freak out that that."

Prue's POV

I quickly pulled my keys out of the ignition and headed for the front door. Victor, why couldn't you just leave us be? I am not sure how I am going to break it to Phoebe and Piper. I am really the only one that remembers him that well. I slammed the door behind me and the glass cracked. God, I am already getting a headache.

"In the living room!" I practically sprinted towards the living room and saw Phoebe cleaning up the movies and putting them back.

"Prue, is there a warlock?" Phoebe asked as she got up.

"Not sure yet, but something bad happened," I was about to say it. "Maybe you guys should sit down. They gave me a weird look, but for now I ignored it. "Victor is back." Piper and Phoebe looked at me for a second in shock.

"Dad's back?" Phoebe asked hopefully. Oh no, I should have known that Phoebe would think of this as good news. "Did he ask about us?"

"He wants to do dinner, but back to what i want to say is, I don't think we should go," Piper stood and Phoebe stood up.

"Don't we get a say?" Piper asked.

"Piper, think about it. He is now coming around when we find out that we are Charmed? Isn't that a little suspicious?"

"Maybe he actually wants us to finally re-connect Prue,"

"Phoebe you shouldn't get your hopes up, he is known for his leaving his family." I said, clearly Phoebe doesn't remember me holding her telling her that daddy will be coming home.

"Maybe we should give him a chance Prue!"

"Why should we Phoebe?!" Suddenly a Dvd flew out and hit the wall behind Phoebe and Piper.

Piper's POV

"Calm down Prue. We all ready have evil destroying our house on a weekly basis, we don't need us to do it." Piper said in a soft but firm voice. She wasn't looking forward to cleaning up after her very emotional sister that day.

Prue didn't pay any head to her sister's caution words. How could she when all she could think about in her anger was that their father was back and was set on hurting Piper and Phoebe once more. Prue couldn't handle it if her sisters were hurt that their father didn't want to be with them. She had spent countless nights just cuddling her little sisters in their beds as they cry asleep wanting daddy.

"He's our father. That's why." Phoebe wrapped her arms across her chest and stuck out her chin. "He's come back." She couldn't keep the smile off of her face with just the knowledge that her father was in the same city as she was. She had went to New York after Grams died and searched for Victor, but by the time she had a line on him. He had all ready left New York. That was when Phoebe decided to take the Grey Hound back to San Fransisco, back to her sisters.

"How is he? Does he look well?" Piper asked with unsureness and some what little girl's voice.

"He's well. I didn't go into his medical history." Prue sighed through her nose. "Look I just don't think it's a good idea to see Victor."

"Well you are the only one." Phoebe said angrily. "When can we see him?"

"He wants to have dinner tonight. But we aren't going." Prue said with a deep frown on her face.

Piper was half inclined to agree whole heartedly with Prue on this matter where their father was concerned. She agreed that they didn't owe Victor Bennett anything. But the other half of her wanted to see her daddy again.

Phoebe's POV

I can't believe Prue doesn't want to hear what Dad has to say. I mean come on, he is our father, we owe him at least that much. "You aren't my mother Prue, I am going to see OUR father whether you like it or not." Prue stared at me, almost opened mouthed. Piper gave me a look that was warning me to stop, and I tried to calm down so I didn't say anything else to anger Prue. I do not want another DVD flying at me again.

"I guess you don't remember me calming you down for all those years saying, that he loved you, and will come back eventually. You don't think I didn't miss him Phoebe?" I moved forward as the couch slid a little, from its place on the floor. "He abandoned us Phoebe!" As she rubbed her temples, the pile of DVD's I arranged crashed on the floor. Prue tried to regain control of her emotions so she couldn't make anything else intentionally fling out and hit someone. "He could've come back when Grams died Phoebe, we really would've needed him then." Tears started to form in Prue's sapphire colored eyes, and Piper went to hug her.

"I'm sorry Prue," I said as I walked over there, and got in the hug. Soon we pulled away, and she wiped her eyes.

"I guess I can't stop you guys from doing what you want, but I do not want any of us going there without being able to know why he is really here." I guess that was reasonable enough, but I really want to see him now.

Piper's POV

"Of course." Piper agreed. But she kept a eye on Phoebe. She very well knew that Phoebe wouldn't wait until the fact finding that Prue was going to undertake. "Look, I personally want to see dad tonight. So how about Phoebe and I share dinner with him and perhaps question him without really questioning him."

"Haven't you heard a word I have just said." Prue screamed and suddenly the entire living room turned into a tondo.

"Shit, Prue." Phoebe grapped Piper and pushed her down to the floor as serveal books came hurling towards her sister.

Prue ducked as the glasses on the coffee table flew towards her. She knew what she was doing was terribly wrong. She tried to get control of her emotions but she was just too angry at her father to calm down. She knelt down covering her head as items kept flying towards her.

Up the stairs but hidden ...

He wanted to rush down to the living room and tell Piper that she had the power to freeze time. She couldn't stop Prue from unleashing her emotions but she had the power to freeze the items. For the moment so she and Phoebe could somehow get the items to a more safer spot. But he couldn't move he didn't have premisson to allow the Halliwell sisters to know of his presence yet.

All he could do was watch as the two younger sisters tried to calm the older sister down and not get killed while doing it.

Piper's POV

Time moved slowly for Piper who was face down on the floor with her baby sister covering her. She didn't know how to stop Prue from destroying the house or killing them in the proccess. She just knew that she had to stop Prue from destroying herself. But how ...

Piper suddenly flung her hands out and the room suddenly froze. "Wow." She breathed.

"You'll telling me." Phoebe said with her head right next to her older sister's ear. She breathed deeply as she slowly got off of Piper and held out her hand for Piper to take. She looked over at Prue who was still covering her head.

Piper blinked at what beheld them. Books, glasses, bowls, DVD's, knick knacks were frozen in mid air. She blew through her nose.

Phoebe crawled over to her feet and grabbed hold of Pru's hands and pulled them away from her face. "Get a freaking gribe Prue. Look around you. Look what your god damn emotions did." She shouted.

Prue blinked and took in the sight in front of her. She looked around quickly and saw that the tv was broken, the glass cabinet was shattered. The couch and the chairs were thrown against the wall all in different angles. The coffee table was crackled down the middle. "Shit."

"DUCK!" Piper shouted as the things in the air began to move. She went down to the floor once more.

Phoebe pushed Prue onto the floor and covered her oldest sister as the items flew passed them and crashed into the wall and the floor.

Piper sat up and blinked and looked slowly around the living room. "Well I have some cleaning to do." She sighed.
