She regained her balance as Leo and her orbed into the dark alley. They both turned quickly when they heard a noise behind them. Though seeing the drunk stagger away they knew they had not being exposed and quickly scanned the alley to where the Rave might be.

"There." Leo pointed towards the further end of the alley. Taking her hand they made there way towards the run down abandon building.

"Going somewhere pal?"

"This is the Rave isn't it. My sister told me about it. She was supposed to meet me outside."

The bouncer cast her a glance and sized her up and down. Even in the poor light he knew whose sister she was. "She never said anything about her sister coming tonight."

"Well she asks me every night but I always say no. After what happened last night I thought tonight I'd say yes."

He stood still not really sure to believe her or not. He knew who she was, but something inside him still stopped her from getting past him. "Ok. Twenty bucks please."

"20!?"

"Cover. If you want in, that's the cost." He held out his hand, watching as she dug into her pocket and pulled out the $20 bill. "Each." He said straight-faced.

"EACH!?" she blow up at him not believing the words out of his mouth.

He stood there stoned faced waiting for the other twenty to cross his hands.

"I'll go alone." She turned to Leo as she walked through the door.

She leaned against the wall, the booze well into her system as she felt an arm around her waist. She didn't even look up as they started to move to the music. He ran his hand down her back resting firmly on her bum. She didn't mind, it made her feel more alive then she had in months. Her own hands moved over his body nearly as much as they danced fast and then slow.

What she didn't notice was them getting closer to the back exit. Until they were already out the door their lips locked in a passionate kiss. Her hands locked with his as he held them out against the wall. His kisses getting more intense as he nibbled at her neck. She just stood there tilting her head enticing him to keep going. She felt numb and didn't care what was going on.

He reached down towards her as he continued to kiss her neck and lower and then back to her lips and it was then she started to feel it wasn't right as she pushed away from him. But this time he seemed to be expecting it.

"Not this time bitch." He slammed her against the wall covering her mouth with his free hand.

It was then that she saw who it was. The same man from the night before. "This time I get what I came out here for. The same thing you have been selling for weeks but not letting anyone get to that point."

He held her to the wall as she fought against him, but all it earned her was a punch to her ribs or a backhand across the face. She felt his hands caress her lower body as she fought harder to get away from him.

"Get off of me!"

"Shut up bitch!" he slammed his fist to her ribs sending her to the ground. He quickly pushed her over and pulled at her pants. Finally succeeding he pulled his own down as he came to her.

She made her way through the crowd looking everywhere for her sister. But to yet not find her. She walked up to the bartender and showed him the picture. At first he was hesitant until she said she was her sister and worried about her.

"I saw her going out back."

She turned quickly towards the back door getting stopped several times on the way but she finally pushed her way through the back door. "Get the hell away from my sister!" she yelled as she saw the man on top of her sister.

He spun around and looked up at her. "What, you want some too?" he laughed as he looked from one to the next. But what he felt next sent him off the one he attacked, as she planted her knee into his man hood.

She rolled over and tried unsuccessfully to pull herself together. She felt the warm and loving embrace around her as she melted into her sisters' arms.

"Ok sweetie I got you its ok." She held her sister in her arms as she cried out. "I won't let him hurt you Phoebs." Piper tried to ease her sisters' pain, but knew there was more to it then just another attack. It was something inside her that they would have to work out together if they were going to find Prue.

"She has a mild concussion and some scraps from the pavement. I taped around the bruising area to her rib. Nothing seems broken but she is going to be tender there for a few days. Other then that she should be ok. She's also pretty shaken up from the attack." He said looking down at the chart before looking up at the person in front of him

"Thank you Doctor Hastings." Piper said as she stepped into the exam room her sister was in. She looked over at her sister, her back to her, as she lay on the bed. Closing her eyes she didn't even know where to begin.

"Thanks for coming by."

Piper stopped, she didn't even realize Phoebe knew she was there. "Phoebe."

"Don't start Piper. I just want to go home." She snapped as she swung her feet around and got off the bed.

Piper went to her side but she pulled away from her and walked out of the room slowly leaving Piper standing in her spot.

Taking a deep breath Piper closed her eyes and started after her sister slowly. She wasn't sure how much more of this she could take. Her sister had started a spiral that was getting out of control ever since they thought they had lost Prue. But now she had to get Phoebe back in control, as they needed to find their sister.

Cold, she was so cold. She curled into a ball and tugged the blanket tight to her but she couldn't get warm. She knew what she needed but last time she had failed in her attempt. But now she had no strength to even try and get to the medical supplies again. She had even tried her powers to get another blanket to herself but it went a few inches and then fell to the floor.

She knew there was someone with her, but they kept their distance. They all did, except one. She was kind most of the time but she wouldn't give her what she wanted.

She looked up and saw the tent flap open on the trailer as she climbed inside.

"Leave us." She didn't even look at the person there she just sat beside her. "Drink this. It will help with the fever and the symptoms."

"I just want a little bit."

"I'm sorry Prue but you can't. They gave you to much as it was. If we had not found you when we did they would have killed you or the drug would have." She explained as he lifted Prues head off the pillow and held the small bowl to her mouth. "Drink. We are almost there and then you can go home."

"Home. To my sisters?"

"Yes." She hadn't told Prue yet what had happened, and why her sisters had gone home after they were here. She knew she was not ready for that yet. Soon though she would know everything.

"It's too dangerous."

"We don't have a choice."

"Yes we do. We get out of this."

"We can not leave them. We made a deal."

"A deal that is not looking good for our survival. If he catches us we are all dead. Including her."

"He will not harm her."

She listened to the voices as they rode beside the small caravan. She knew she should have never asked them to do this. But she had no one else to turn to. She moved to the front of the small trailer and sat up with the driver.

"How much further?"

"Another couple hours. But we will be in danger in about 15 minutes. Is it all worth it? To risk our lives for one witch?"

She watched out the road ahead of them. It was a valid question for someone that didn't know. "She is just not any witch my brother. She is one of the blessed ones."

He quickly looked at her. Even as a male he knew of the blessed ones. They were highly regarded in any family with witches. But even he thought they were just legend. "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"But they are."

"Legend? No they are not. She is here and we have to get her back to her sisters. I have already felt the shift in powers towards evil. Her sisters have given up the fight."

"But then if evil gets the upper hand?"

"All could be lost. And we are running out of time. Once the night of the full moon, evil will have gotten a strong hold over good and they will not be able to regain back the balance."

The silence of the night was almost eerie as they made their way across the desert. Everyone was on their guard as they made their way closer to their target.

"Head over there." she pointed towards the vehicles that were parked along the side of the fence. She knew why they were there and thanked her sister coven as they came to a stop behind them.

A small train of people moved across the tarmac making their way quickly towards the private jet sitting there. Everything had been set up long before this moment as the stairs were already set out for their arrival.

They ran across the last little bit. But something was nagging her, as her brother carried Prue towards the plane and up the steps. She ran up behind him and started for the cabin but was stopped by the muzzle of a gun. She heard the voice behind her and felt her heart try to leap from her body.

"I want to thank you Cassandra. For returning my wife to me."

She turned around slowly to the voice and met the dark eyes of Prince Jameer. "Your highness she can not stay here."

"That is not for you to decide." He answered as he motioned with his arms. "Take them."

He looked down at the pale features surrounded by her dark hair. "My Love. I have found you again. But this time I will not let you go so easily." He caressed her cheeks softly as he lifted her up from the seat they had placed her in.
