Prue sat in her car and wasn't sure if she should feel anger or relieved. Anger after talking to Darryl and found out what happened, and relieved that both her sisters would be ok. At least that was what she was holding on to.

The conversation with Darryl still had holes in it, but she believed the report and witnesses testimony. Phoebe lost control of the car for no reason and that was when she ran through the intersection hitting one car and in turn getting hit themselves before rolling Paige's bug. She knew Phoebe hadn't had much experience driving and this was further proof.

She took in a deep breath and start up the steps to the Manor. "Probably horsing around." She said to no one.

Getting in the house she placed her own keys on the key hook at the back door and made her way to the fridge. Pulling out a bottle of water she sunk down into one of the kitchen chairs. Her fear and worry now taking hold on what had really happened. Her baby sister was almost killed and her newfound sister was right beside her.

Her mind drifted back to the conversation she had had with Piper that very afternoon. She was worried that something would happen to Phoebe because Paige wasn't yet up to speed with her powers. And in the end it was Phoebe who had caused something to happen.


Piper sat beside her sisters while she watched each one sleep. The words Darryl had told her still rattled in her mind. But something seemed off to her. Phoebe was usually a very good driver. Sure she didn't have a lot of experioence but she would never just lose control for no reason.

"Hey. Where are you?" Phoebe cast her eyes at Piper, who to her seemed lost in a thought far away.

"Hi. How you feeling?"

"Like I hit a car, flipped a car four times before getting hit by another car."

"Hmmm sounds about accurate." Piper ran her thumb over the back of Phoebs hand, "Sweetie. What happened?"

Phoebe turned her head slightly as she took in Paige's features in the bed beside her. The steady beating of the machinery filling her head with pain, grief and remorse. She didn't even looked back up at Piper, "I don't know Piper. All I remember is rolling, and thinking of you and Prue. Thinking I would never see you two again." She felt the tears welling in her eyes. "Thankful that I was able to meet and get to know Paige even a little. Then nothing. I woke up here with you and Prue looking at me." She cast her eyes around the room. "Where is she?"

Piper knew whom Phoebe was referring to but said nothing at first.

"She's mad at me isn't she?" Phoebe answered her own question.

"She's just confused sweetie. She was worried about you and then we got the call. She isn't sure right now how to feel."

Phoebe turned away again, "She's mad." Was all she said quietly.

Piper looked at her baby sister but said nothing. She knew both of her sisters too well to try and talk them out of anything this early with an incident.


She watched everything through the portal of water, taking in each sister. Though the ones she wanted were never alone, they were vulnerable ones, one sister to yet awake and the other with no active power to start with. "Soon I will get my chance."

"Or you just take it." The voice from the shadows spoke to her.

She turned to the sound, "Sire. You please me with your presence."

"Though I am not pleased. You told me you could take care of them. And yet all four still live."

She watched as he passed back and forth in her dark chamber.

"I have sent demons after them at every opportunity. Even my best assassin was turned against me because of them. I will not continue to fail."

"I am just waiting for them to be alone. Without the youngest that will sever the power of three, and the oldest is an added bonus. She is yet to awake from the accident. And every demon knows the youngest is vulnerable."

"Others have thought that and failed. Do not make the same mistake as others from the past Amaris."

His red cloaked swirled around him, "Kill them before the night is complete, or I will send someone else to finish what you have done." His voice spoke to her as his flames consumed him and he was gone.

Amaris watched as the Source left her chamber. She would not fail, of that she was certain. She knew that they would be alone soon. As she watched and waited for her chance to strike.


Piper felt the gentle hand on her shoulder as she turned and met the blue eyes of her sister, "Go home and get some sleep Piper. I'll sit with them a bit."

Piper looked back down at Paige and then over to Phoebe. She wasn't sure she wanted to leave. She knew Prue and Phoebe still had some issues on everything that had happened. Even after three days. They still had no further clue as to what happened.

Piper stood up before she picked up her coat, "They um, just gave Phoebe some medication. She should be out for a few hours. And Paige was also just checked on but so far…" She left her sentence open as she pulled her jacket on.

Piper started for the door before she stopped. "Prue. If Phoebe wakes up. Please don't say anything."

Prue looked up at Piper seeing the worry in her eyes. She could tell from there that Phoebe was beating herself up already enough for the both of them. "I won't." Prue answered as she watched Piper turn and leave, before she took a seat beside her baby sister. Once again taking her hand in hers, wondering what had really happened.

She had sat through nurses and doctors rounds as she eventually felt herself giving in to sleep. She stood up to fight it off, but soon found herself sitting down again. She looked across at Paige wondering what it would have been like if she had been in their lives from the first moments of life she had even taken. Would Phoebe have been such a wild child? Would Piper have been so shy? Thoughts ran through her mind as she wondered what it would have been like had she not had to shoulder the responsibility all those years.

"Prue?"

Prue looked up and saw the deep brown eyes that her sister always had, "Hey sweetie."

"You came back."

Phoebe's words stung as she sat beside her, running a hand over the top of her head. "Been here a few times sweetie, but you were sleeping."

Phoebe held Prue's eyes to hers, "I thought you were mad at me." She once again felt the tearswell in her eyes.

Prue took in a deep breath. She had promised Piper she wouldn't get into this right then. "Let's not talk about that right now ok? Let's just get you and Paige better."

Phoebe turned and looked at Paige. "Ok." she spoke quietly.

Prue placed her hand around Phoebes cheek, "Ok."

--- ----

Words were few between the sisters. But as Phoebe looked past her sister, who had finally rested her head down and was giving into sleep, she saw the distortion of the air at the end of her bed. "PRUE!" she shouted as she pushed her sister awake, nearly sending her to the floor.

Prue didn't even focus on what or where her sister was crying to. She spun around and focused her powers on anything in the room other then her sisters.

Phoebe watched as the demon in black slammed against the wall. But she saw one moving towards Paige. "Prue! Paige!" she cried out again, wishing she had some sort of active power. She didn't care what it was, just anything to help her sister at that point.

Prue spotted the demon right on top of Paige and flung her hand towards him sending him flying against the nearest wall. She turned and tossed another demon that was approaching her. But as she went to toss one more demon they quickly shimmer or flamed out. She gathered her thoughts and reigned in her adrenaline before checking on her sisters. "Phoebe you ok?" she turned and looked at the now empty bed her youngest sister had just occupied.

"Phoebe?" her heart raced as she saw the small drips of fresh blood on the sheet where her sister had been only a few seconds before.
