The words hung in the room like a blanket. Piper looked at her sister with shock and worry. "You mean everything is just really fuzzy right now right?" she asked in hesitation
"No. I can't see you Piper. Everything is dark. What's going on?"
"I don't know honey let me go and find a doctor and find out."
"Piper don't go."
"Honey I need to get someone to help. I won't go any further then the door frame I promise." Piper explained as she kissed the top of her sisters' head.

Piper looked down the hall and didn't see anyone. Taking a quick look at her sisters she ventured a little further out finding a nurse down the hall. Explaining the situation she returned to the room. One sister was still sleeping and the other she needed to comfort.

"Ok the doctor is coming." She said as she took her sisters hand in hers.
"You left. You said you wouldn't leave the room."

Piper looked down at her sister thinking she had seen her return to her room.

"I never heard you talking to anyone. So I assume that you left the room."
"Sorry. But there was no one around. I didn't go very far I promise." Piper told her as she ran her hand over the top of her sisters' head.

The two sister sat in silence neither one knew what to say. So they just sat there as Piper held her sisters hand letting her know she was there with her through what ever happened.

"Miss Halliwell. My name is Dr. Brown. I treated you when you came in. I understand we have a problem."
"I can't see anything."
"Well let's take a look." He said as she approached the bed.

After a few minutes he stepped back.

"I'd like to run some test."
"What's going on?" Piper asked still holding on to her sister. Trying to hide the worry from her voice.
"At this point I can't determine. I need to do some test. I'll have someone come down right away so we can get started."
"Can you at least give us some idea?" She asked scared at the possible outcome.
"Well. It could have something to do with the flash of the explosion itself. Or the blow you took to your head. That can cause a break to your optic nerve."
"So is this fixable?" Piper asked getting more and more worried.
"I need to run the tests. Then I can give you a more accurate answer." He said "I'll send someone right way."

How could this happen? How could they escape? He paced back and forth his rage building on what he had learned. The Charmed Ones had survived. One didn't even get a scratch on her. How could he have failed so?

His source had returned telling him what he had found out. Two of the sisters where in the hospital injured but not life threatening, and the third one had been released that night.

"How did this happen? They should have been buried in that building. Or burned."

He continued to pace back and forth trying to work out in his head what had happened.

"Maybe it was her power." The source suggested.
"No. The explosion was to powerful for her to use her power." He said, "They are new to the craft."
"Maybe it was her drive to save her sister."
"Hmm maybe. She could have waved off some debris but not all of it."
"Maybe they just got lucky."
"Hmm yes. Maybe." He thought. There had to have been something else he was just missing it.

"Find out their injuries and their weaknesses. I will not let a couple of young witches defeat me so easily." he ordered

He watched as his source left to find the status of the Charmed Ones. He would destroy them. They could not be aloud to get as powerful as it was foreseen.

He sat in his high backed chair plotting yet another plan to rid the world of them and all good witches.

Piper sat in-between the two beds that held her sisters. Both were sleeping, leaving her to only think about what had happened and what could happen.

How would she fight demons if she couldn't even see them? It was hard enough to get used to the fact they are witches in the first place, but to have something like this happen. How would she defend herself?

"How they doing?"
"Good I guess." Piper said looking up at Andy. He had been so strong through this. She knew it must have torn him apart as well, the waiting and not knowing at the site of the explosion. How would he have reacted if Prue had died? She knew he was trying to win her back and yet she was being stubborn. "They're sleeping right now."

"Can you tell her I came by?"
"Yeah. Are those for her?"
"No these are for Phoebe." He handed Piper the bouquet of flowers in his hand as Piper eyed him suspiciously. "These, " he pulled his other hand out from behind his back, "Are for Prue." he said with a smile as he held up the dozen red roses.

Piper smiled at his antics. "I'll let her know."
"Thanks Piper. Don't worry, everything will be fine. They are both to stubborn to let this get them down." He told her. "I have to get back to work. Tell them both I love them and I'll come by tomorrow to see how they are."
"I will, thanks for coming by Andy."
"Welcome. See ya." He said as he exited the room that held three of the most important people in his life. Always were; always will. What he couldn't figure out was why Prue and Phoebe had been in that building in the first place. It wasn't exactly a place that either one of them would just go to. But ever since he had got back in their lives, they have appeared in the strangest places, with the strangest things going on.

"You can not tell me that this is part of her destiny?"
"If that is how the fates have writing it then yes it is."
"But she is a Charmed One. How can she battle against evil if she is blind?"
"All will be done as it is written. We allowed you to help them when the building exploded. But that is as far as we are allowed to go. Fate holds a higher power over even us."
"This is just wrong. What are they going to do?"
"They will get through this. It will be a test of their love and bond for each other."
"So this is just a test?"
"No. But it will be in the end. The other two will have to be her eyes and she will have to rely on that and her power."
"This could also backfire and tear them apart."

They looked at each other before turning back the man before them. A deafening silence hung over the room. "Yes. It could." Was all they said.

The nightmare replayed in her head over and over.

She saw her sister approach her as she also walked forward. Words were spoken in anger and concern by both. But when they were only a few feet away she was suddenly thrown backwards by a loud fierce explosion.

Trying to shake off the dizzy filling she had gotten and the air back in her lungs she tried to find her sister through the thick smoke.

"Phoebe!"
"Prue. Where are you?"
"Keep talking Phoebe I'll come to you." She said as she made her way through the smoke.

Phoebe stepped towards her sisters' voice as she suddenly felt an arm around her waist.

"Are you Ok?"
"I think I pulled something in my knee but other then that I am."
"We have to get out of her Phoebs."
"No argument from me." Phoebe said as she held on to her sister and they started to leave the building.

"Prue."
"I see him Phoebe." Prue said as she threw the demon back with her power. "Come on."

Prue helped Phoebe towards the door they had both come in. It was then that everything around them seemed to turn to dust.

"You can not defeat me witches." He hollered out to them as he watched them moving quickly to the door.

She felt the building shake as the debris flew around them.

"Prue we aren't going to make it!"
"Go. Get out of here. I'll take care of this guy.
"I'm not leaving you here."
"That was not a suggestion Phoebe! Now get out of here!" Prue yelled at her sister as she held off the flying debris with her power.

It was then, as the two stubborn Halliwells locked eyes, that everything around them collapsed as a second explosion brought down the building.

Phoebe watched in horror as she fell to the ground and watched as a beam struck Prue sending her to the ground away from her.

"PRUE!" she cried out, before when she felt something hit her hard on the head and everything went black.

"PRUE!" she cried out as she awoke from her nightmare bolting up in fear.
"Sshhh Phoebs its ok I got you." Piper soothed her sisters' cries as she calmed her down in her arms.
"Prue. Where is she?"
"She's right here sleeping. You're both going to be ok." Piper assured her. As she held her in her arms tight.

Phoebe stayed safe in Pipers arms. Her warm embrace giving her comfort.

"Piper."
"Yeah honey?"
"Is she really ok?"
"She's fine Phoebe." Was all she said
