Phoebe had almost fallen asleep in the chair as Piper had gone to bed a few hours ago.

Prue watched as Phoebe fought off her own weariness for her own reason. "Hey kiddo let me wrap that wrist for you so you can go to bed."

"It's ok Prue, I got it."

"Phoebe."

"What?"

Prue got up and went to her sister. Sitting on the arm of the chair beside her she leaned down and pulled her into a tight embrace. "I love you and don't you dare ever forget that."

Phoebe accepted the hug and love that she was getting from Prue, yet she knew that deep down inside, her sister was still disappointed in what she had done. "Love you too Prue." She answered as she waited till her sister pulled back from the hug. "I need some sleep. I ache everywhere and I have a feeling that my body will need the sleep now."

"You are so right my sister. Are you sure you don't want me to wrap that for you?"

Phoebe hesitated a moment. But it was in that moment that Prue knew the answer.

"I'll be right back." She said as she got off the chair and went back to the kitchen.

With her wrist wrapped Phoebe crawled into bed thinking of what had happened downstairs that night. She had told her sisters everything over the period of about five hours, maybe more. As she rolled over she could hear the rain hitting against the cabin walls. When would this rain ever let up she thought, as she pulled the covers close and closed her eyes and tried to go to sleep.

Prue had locked the doors and check the last remaining lights. In a similar way that she would at home. It was something that she had always done and something she knew she always would. She thought this just as she slowly opened the door to Pipers room and checked on her and then made her way to Phoebes room to do the same. Only this time she stopped a little longer. Sighing to herself wondering what would happen in the next few days, she closed the door and went to her won room.

The rain continued its assault on the lake area all night. Sometimes it would come down so hard you couldn't even see the lake outside the window. Let alone seeing the Jeep that was parked only a few feet from the front door.

Piper was making her way around the kitchen much the same way she would from home. First the coffee, for that was an essential part of her sisters' morning ritual. And then whatever she felt like cooking up for breakfast that day.

Prue came down and watched as the rain continued to some down. "Is it ever going to stop?" she asked in frustration.

"Well according to the weather man the other day it wasn't suppose to rain at all this weekend."

"Well I think the weatherman should get another job. I mean hell why don't you just say it's going to rain. That way you cover your ass. If it's a sunny day no one is going to hassle you. But if you call for sun and it rains all weekend. Well I'm thinking he should either go back to school or get a new line of work." Prue stated as she grabbed a cup of coffee and made her way to the sunroom to continue watching the rainfall

Her thoughts where drawn to the conversation they had all had the night before. Somehow she had to find it in her to forgive Phoebe. She just wasn't sure how yet.

The rain pattered on the glass above her as she drank her coffee and listened. Though trying to get her thoughts in order about her sister.

Phoebe lay in bed listening to the rainfall on the roof outside as well as against her bedroom window. She wanted to stay in bed all day. She was even yet to move for fear of what would happen. But she knew she would have too eventually.

Piper turned the last omelette onto the plate and stuck her head to the sun room. "Breakfast is ready."

"Thanks. Phoebe down yet?"

"No I was just going to go see how she was feeling."

"I'll go." Prue answered as she placed her coffee cup down and made her way to the bedrooms.

Taking a bit of a breath before she knocked, Prue prepared herself for what the day would bring them. Sure they had discussed everything out the night before but was it enough?

"Phoebe you awake?" she asked as she knocked on the door waiting for a response.

"Yeah."

Prue stuck her head in side. "Hey. How you feeling?"

"Like I was hit by the ground."

Prue laughed at her littlest sister, "could be because you were." She said as she sat on the bed beside her. "Piper and I were thinking of going for a walk if this rain ever stops. You up for it?"

"Well let's see when the rain stops. If it stops now I'd say not on your life. If it stops in a few hours I might consider it."

"Ok. Come on, Piper made omelettes." Prue said as she got up and left Phoebe alone in the room.

"Prue I thought you said she was up." Piper asked as she saw her sister appear alone.

"She was."

"Then where is she?" Piper asked with concern.

"She's a bit stiff and sore that's where she is." Came the voice from the entrance to the kitchen.

"Hey you. How you felling?"

"I'll live I think." Phoebe answered Piper as she sat down at the table.

Once again the meal was unusually quiet for the three sisters. Usually they would talk about everything yet nothing at all. But that was how most of the morning went as the rain had not let up and they were stuck in the cabin together. Phoebe lay on the couch a few times dozing off to sleep. Prue curled up in the chair reading her book and Piper in the kitchen seeing what she could throw together.

"Hey guys look. The suns coming out." Piper commented as she came back into the living room

"Oh wow. Look at that rainbow. It's amazing." Phoebe stated from her spot on the couch.

"I wonder if it's really stopping or if this is just a tease."

"Well it looks like it is breaking. Look at all that blue sky." Prue answered back to her sister "So we still on for that walk Piper?"

"Yeah let's go before the weather changes again. Phoebs you in?"

Phoebe looked up at Piper noticing something that she had missed. That was the first time, since she had told Piper about Cole, that Piper had called her Phoebs. She hadn't noticed till now how much she missed it.

"Yeah Phoebs you coming?"

And now Prue. She was never mad at them, but she knew now that they were on the right track to finding that common bond of love again.

"Yeah but slow walk. I'm still a bit sore from yesterday."

"Slow and steady just like a turtle. Now. Let's go." Prue said as she got off the chair and headed for the front door.

They had followed the trail along the lake and took in the sights and sounds of the area after the rain. The birds were coming back out. They spotted three deer and a handful of rabbits. The sparkle of the sun across the lake as it mirrored the surrounding areas. The raindrops that fell from the tree branches and leaves silently. Dripping on unsuspecting passers byes.

"Hey Prue, maybe we should take the little boat out to the lake and see what it looks like from out there."

"Phoebe I love you. You are one of my favourite sisters. But there is NO way you are getting me out in that little wooded thing so I can see what I can see perfectly well from right here."

"Oh come on Prue, Phoebe has a point. Can you imagine what the forest would look like right now from the water? The sun glistening on the wet leaves, making them sparkle under the glow of the sun."

"Not getting near enough to the water to see it. Beside look over there. you can see the sun on the other bank." Prue shot back at her sister. Ever since their mother died, Prue has had a fear of the water. Though partially overcoming it when they vanquished the same demon that killed Patty. She still was very cautious around the water.

"Ok." Piper and Phoebe sighed and give in to their sisters' side of the no boat trips. But the water part was still open for discussion.

But as they all walked along the bank they never expected what happened next. Much in the same way Phoebe had fallen the night before, Piper watched in horror as Prue slipped in the wet mud and fell. Unfortunately as she fell the softened bank from the rainfall all night and most of the day, caved in from underneath her causing her and part of the bank to slide down into the icy waters of the lake below. Leaving her two younger sisters calling out after her as she splashed into the lake going under without a trace.
