"Piper would you sit down. You're making me nervous."
"I can't Prue. I AM nervous. How the hell are we going to tell her?"
"I don't know Piper but right now you need to relax. She needs us both to be strong right now, so we can figure out who this guys is." Prue said as she pulled at Pipers arm and sat her down beside her.
Piper and Leo filled Prue in when she got home from her photo shoot. When they were done Leo got called and left the two sisters to tell Phoebe what Leo knew. They both hoped that Leo being called was something to do with what was going on.
"Prue what are we going to do?"
"I don't know Piper. Right now I'm trying to figure out how this all happened in the first place."
"Leo said they cast a spell to make us forget."
"Yeah but why all of a sudden is Phoebe remembering?"
"I don't know."
"What am I suddenly remembering?
"Phoebe your home early." Prue turned to the sound of her sister coming ion the Manor
"I'm not skipping classes if that's what you're thinking Prue. Our Professor came down with some bug so class was cancelled." She explained as she flopped down into the big easy chair. "So what were you guys talking about when I came in?"
Prue and Piper shared a looked of uncertainty. They both knew they had to tell Phoebe they were just uncertain as to how.
"Guys. What's going on?"
"Phoebe we sort of figured out what your nightmares are about."
"What do you mean by sort of?"
Prue and Piper then told Phoebe about what Leo had told Piper earlier that day. The watched carefully as Phoebe took in the information.
"Whoa. I didn't see that coming. But why now?"
"We don't know. And it would appear that neither do they." Piper answered her sister.
"So Leo and they think that who ever this is could come for me again. Along with a bunch of other innocent people?"
"They think that could be why all of a sudden you are remembering. It's your power growing. You can now see the past as well." Prue told her.
"Way to the past." Piper added
Phoebe stood from the chair and walked over to the window and starred out to the light spring rain.
"Phoebs?"
"I'm ok Prue. Maybe that's why I'm getting them now. I'm meant to help those that were there before."
"Or those that could go there now." Piper put in.
Phoebe stood at the window not saying another word as her sisters watched her. Finally she turned and made her way upstairs.
"Phoebes?"
"I have a tone of homework Piper. Call me when dinners ready." She said solemnly as she continued her way up to her room. Leaving her sisters in the living room more then a little confused.
Prue and Piper sat in the solarium drinking their coffee when they saw the familiar blue glow of their whitelighter.
"Hi Leo."
"Hi Prue. And hi to you." He said to Piper as he leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss.
"So what did you learn, if anything?" Prue asked.
"Well, it would seem that it is the same demons that kidnapped Phoebe all these years ago."
"So what? He wants revenge?" Piper asked worried
"That they are not sure, but it's a good possibility. It would seem that some of the now adults that were his prisoners have disappeared, as well as some children."
"Are these children magical Leo? Or will they be?" Prue asked thinking of a possible answer to the problem.
"Some are, some aren't."
"Leo, why do I get the feeling that you are leaving something out?" Piper asked him with determination.
Looking into his fiancées eyes Leo knew that he had to tell them the truth.
"Leo?" Prue continued where Piper left it off.
"The adults that are missing are all disappearing in the same order that they disappeared in when they were children."
"And?" Piper egged him on
"And. The dates also match when they disappeared."
"Leo. Get to the point." Prue demanded getting more worried about Phoebe.
"Phoebe disappeared on the 18th of this very month." He finally managed to get out.
Prue and Piper looked at each other with worried expressions. "Leo. That's today." Piper said a bit angry that they had not told them that sooner.
"I know Piper. Where is Phoebe now?"
"Up stairs in her room studying." Prue told him, though making her way to the stairs and up to her baby sister.
Phoebe had gone upstairs to study though she never actually cracked a book. Her mind was a whirl of emotions and thoughts. How could this have happened to her at such a young age and Grams never told them? Was it Wicca related? Or was it just a demon taken the youth of the world? She really had no way of knowing, and it was something that she knew she had to find out.
He watched her in the shadows knowing that she was one of them; one that had gotten away. He would have his revenge against them and then he would be free to take more. More innocent children and young witches before they even knew their family heritage. She was so young at the time, and her grandmother had blocked their powers. She would never know her true destiny, but now she did. Now she had her powers, as did all of them. And with that he would be unstoppable. Especially with hers: she was one of the Charmed Ones, one of the most powerful witches ever.
As he watched he waited for his chance. His moment to strike. Then in the flick of an eye everything in the room was silent. There was no movement and no sound.
"Phoebe?"
"Prue would you quiet down. She's probably studying."
"Piper I don't like the coincidence that has reared its ugly head here." Prue asked as she walkied up to Phoebe's door.
"She probably has a lot to think about. After what we told her earlier."
"Maybe." Prue said as she knocked Phoebes door not weaiting for an answer, she opened the door to reveal an empty room.
Prue turned and left Phoebes room and started for the attic. Not finding her sister there either she was starting to panic.
"Leo? Where's my sister?" Piper to started to get more then a bit concerned.
"I don't' know, but where ever she is, she's in trouble."
"Why? What did you find out?" Prue turned on the Whitelighter. What had he kept from them?
"They have been unable to locate anyone that was kidnapped."
"So they don't even know where they are keeping her? Is that what you're saying?" Piper asked afraid of the confirmation she would get in return.
"Yes. They fear that whoever it is has gotten stronger and is now able to block out good magic."
"So how the hell are we supposes to get her back?" Prue snapped at thier Whitelighter
Leo looked at Prue as her temper flared, and then to Piper who showed all the concern and love yet was still angry he could tell. "I don't know."
