Tamrof smiled as he approached the cells. His master was pleased with him, both for bringing a new witch, and for dealing with Belthazor. Soon, if he was lucky, he would no longer be forced to just collect the witches and would once again be allowed to kill them. He had seen the one's the Master had cast aside. Their powers drained and some so broken they would howl in fear like an animal at just the sight of someone.

"How is the newest addition?" he asked as he entered the cell area.
"Quiet, too quiet if you ask me." the guard said
"What do you mean by that?" Tamrof roared. Rushing to the cell he had thrown her into the night before, he saw her curled up in a corner hugging her self, even though she was asleep. "Did she do anything last night?"
"No."
"She didn't try to use any powers to escape?"
"No."
"So what is your power then witch?" he said to himself as he waited for her to wake up.

The room were she was, was designed to make a witch use their powers, why hadn't she? With no way for her to see or hear while in there, he knew that eventually he would find out what her power was, and when he did, the Master would know how to deal with it.

Cole's world slowly came back into focus, his entire body felt like he had been wrung out and hung up to dry by some giant force. He had managed to shimmer just before he hit the rocks after Tamrof knocked him off the cliff. He had appeared in the mausoleum, but miss judged the shimmer, falling the last five feet as he arrived in mid-air, hitting his head and losing consciousness.

Groggy, he pushed himself up, his pain giving way to anger as he thought about what had happened. He knew now how he would start to do Phoebe's work, he would track down Tamrof and stop whatever he was doing. But first, he knew he had to go see the sisters, he would need a bit of help to do it right. Taking a last look around, he ran his hand over his fathers name as he left his sanctuary behind. He hoped they would be in a receptive mood.

The pounding in her head told her she was alive, after what Gina had sent to her, she was not sure if she wanted to be, but she knew she needed to save her friend. She could not let that happen to another, and she had a feeling that Gina would be next. On unsteady legs she crossed the room, her eyes mere slits to help block out the light. She needed some aspirin and the only way she would find it was to go looking.

The sound of water running told her where the bathroom was, but it was in use, so she went in search of whoever was up. Going down the stairs, she heard voices coming from the back of the house, a man and a woman talking quietly.

"Leo, she needs help, someone other then us."
"Piper do you really think she will go?"
"No, but I have to try. She's my sister and this is tearing her apart."
"How are you going to get her to see him?" Leo asked curiously
"I don't know yet, but he is the best person around in helping people deal with lose. I have tried everything I can and it's just not enough."
"How do you know he will help?"
"We saved Father Thomas from Vincerarus, he knows about us and he knows how to help her if anyone does."
"Do you know where he is?"
"Yes, he's back in his old parish, and I've made plans to meet him later at the park." Piper said quietly she was worried about her sister was was willing to try anything to get her back

Liz didn't know what they were talking about, but whatever it was it sounded like they were in some kind of trouble. Walking into the kitchen, she found Leo standing there, his arms around his wife as she held him. He saw her come in and gave her a small smile, wishing his charges had met under different circumstances.

"How are you feeling?" he asked her as she moved slowly into the room.
"Do you have any aspirin?" she asked quietly.
"Yes, it's on the counter." Piper told her, going to pick it up as she said it.

Liz was about to say something when a man shimmered into view behind the whitelighter and the Charmed One. With out a second thought, she sprang to her feet, throwing a lightning bolt at the demon.

"NO!" Prue shouted as the scene played out before her. She had come into the kitchen just in time to see Cole shimmer in and Liz use her powers, her warning coming to late to stop her.

She sat in the corner of her cell alone and scared. She tried a few more times to get a feeling of those around her, only to make herself even more scared then she already was. She was surprised, however to find a few of the others that were actually able to push her out of their minds. Either afraid of her or afraid of what she may see, protecting her in some way.

She gained some information from others though and gathered where she was; in the hands of the Source.

She learned that she was most likely in a cell where she would be forced to use her powers and the demons would find out very quickly what she had to offer them. Only the one thing in her favor she realized was that her power was hidden. It was a part of her mind, it was not something that could be shown to people

She sat against the cold wall recalling the last mind she had touched. The fear and longing was so fierce it had shaken Gina. She had never touched anything like it before. But before she could really get a feel of what was going on she was slammed against the wall by an unseen force. A force stronger then she had ever come across in the all the years she had been a witch.

Cole turned out of reflects as Piper and Prue reacted almost immediately. Piper threw up her hands and froze the bolt just inches from Cole's chest at the same time that Prue deflected it to the kitchen window. They had discovered over the past few years that windows were easier, and cheaper, to replace, than walls.

Liz being a witch for many years instantly struck out again at the demon that appeared. Only to have Piper once again throw up her hands as Prue yell out to her.

"Liz stop it. He's on our side." Prue yelled out
"He's a demon!" she countered back
"Yeah and it's also Cole." Piper retaliated.
"Well how was I suppose to know." Liz said in anger.

Leo went over and helped Cole up to his feet after he had leaped out of the way of the last electric bolt that Liz had shot out at him.

"You ok Cole?"
"Yeah, thanx Leo."
"Cole what the hell are you doing anyway? You could have been killed." Prue shot out at him
"Well I was in the neighborhood I thought I'd stop by. I wasn't exactly expecting a deadly reception." He snapped back
"Yeah well, you shimmer into a house of witches and what do you expect?" she glared at him. Seeing him only reminded her further of the sisdter she had lost
"Well I thought that this was one house I would be ok in." he replied holding her glare
"Prue. Cole. Both of you, stop it. Now!" Piper finally intervened. She knew that they were just both hurting over Phoebe and they had to lash out at each other to squash their own pain.

Both Prue and Cole looked to each other and then to Piper realizing what she was trying to say without really saying.

"Ok. Now that you two have stopped yelling at each other."
"Piper I'm sorry." Cole said as he sat down on one of the chairs.
"Me to Piper." Prue said embracing her sister from behind.

"So Cole where have you been man?" Leo asked his former enemy.
"Everywhere and no where." He commented, "Places that remind me of her and places that don't."

No one said a word for they all felt the same pain.

"He almost got me." Cole said quietly.
"Who almost got you?" Piper asked curiously.
"The Source." Cole answered her thought not looking at either of them." And I almost let him."
"Wait. The Source came up to go after you?" Liz asked.
"No, he sent some punk demon trying to make a name for himself. He said something about bringing him a new witch that day and now he would have my head to add to his personal trophy collection."
"Cole. Who came after you?" Leo asked though having a terrible feeling he knew what he would say.
"Like I said some punk demon. He goes by the name Tamrof."
"WHAT!?" he got from all four sides.

He looked up at them his hands in defence, "Whoa relax I got away."
"Cole where is he know?" Liz demanded.
"Who the hell are you? First you try and kill me and now you think I'm just gonna start giving you information."
"Cole this is Liz, she's a witch. Tamrof took her best friend last night. She came here for our help and it's the kind that we may need your help with." Piper explained to him.
"Look I don't know where he is. The last time I saw him I was falling of a cliff courtesy of him."
"Ok look why don't you three try and figure out how we are going to find the missing witches and fill Cole in on what's going on." Piper suggested, "Prue and I will look at this from another angle."
"We are?" Prue looked up at her sister a bit shocked.
"Yes. Now come on, get your coat." Piper said pulling Prue to her feet. She had an appointment with an old friend and didn't want to miss it.

As they drove down the street and pulled into the parking lot of the park Prue kept asking her what was going on. All Piper said was that she wanted some time alone with Prue.

"Piper what's really going on? Prue asked
"Prue I just need some time just the two of us. And seeing Cole again just brought back to many memories, for both of us." Piper said as she walked through the park.
"Piper look I know I've been a bit closed off about everything. But it just hurts too much still. I'm sorry if I've shut you out."
"Prue I just want you to know that you can talk to me."
"I know sweetie but I can't." Prue said with a tear threatening to spill.

Piper reached over and pulled Prue into a hug. Giving her the only comfort that her sister would take at this time.

"Prue isn't that Father Thomas?" Piper asked knowing full well that it was.

Turning Prue saw the man who they had helped not that long ago. "Yeah I think it is."
"Lets go say hi." Piper said pulling Prue by the hand to the Father. "Father Thomas."
"Piper hi. Hello Prue."
"Father."
"What brings you two by the park?"
"Just some sister time." Piper said then suddenly turning to her purse.
"Piper I thought you were off today?" Prue asked at the sound of her sisters' pager going off.
"I gotta go. Prue do you mind."
"No go I'll get a cab or walk."
"Thank you honey." Piper said kissing her big sister before running off to the car.

Her plan had worked perfectly and Leo paging her was perfect timing. She had asked him to page her about half an hour after they had gone. Once again her husband came through for her. Now the rest was up to Prue.

"So Prue how have you been since your ordeal with all the worlds feelings?"
"Augh. Father please don't remind me." Prue said with a half smile.

Laughing at her reaction he agreed not to talk about it. "So I see Piper is still as busy as usual. What about Phoebe?" he asked. Piper had explained everything to him the last time they had talked and he was trying to just get Prue to say something about her baby sister.
"She..Uh. She died four months ago." Prue said sadly as she looked out the woods at the park
"Oh Prue I'm sorry." He said. Though he noticed now that Prue clamed right up. Stating the oblivious that she did not want to discuss it. "Prue you now that she is in a happier place right?" he persisted. "Prue I know this is hard for you right now and I won't stand here and tell you that it will get better. You have to heal on your own time. But don't shut your family out. Piper loves you so much I can see it in her eyes. And I can also see that she is worried about you. Phoebe would want you to move on. To go on living with her here." He said placing his hands on his heart. "That is where she will to continue to live. Through yours and Pipers love for her. As well as Leo's."
"It just hurts so much Father." Prue finally whispered out. "She was my baby sister. I was supposed to protect her. I promised Mum."
"Oh Prue." He pulled her to his arms and embraced her as a father would a small child, as she cried again, for the lose of her sister. "Just remember that she will never be forgotten and that she is waiting for you and Piper to see her again some day. I know it hurts now, but over the years the pain will lessen. She would want you to live again through her memories. Hold on to those always."

They stayed at the park for hours as Prue finally talked about her feelings to Father Thomas. She felt better having finally talked about it and though her baby was gone she now realized that Phoebe would want her to start living again. And she knew that she had to start helping Piper prepare for the arrival of their baby girl once again.

"Thank you Father."
"Anytime Prue, and talk to Piper don't shut her out. Tell her what you told me. She has one of the biggest hearts I know and she wants to be there for you. You have to remember, that it's not just you that lost Phoebe: So did she."
"I will. Oh god I have to go." Prue said. "Oh sorry." She apologized as she realized what she said.
Laughing at her he just shock his head. "It's ok Prue, now go before Piper wonders where you are."
As she walked away he called out to her. "Prue. Remember something for me?" He called to her. "It's love, not time, that will heal the wounds."

Seeing what he meant she waved to him and started to home.
