Phoebe looked at both Piper and Prue as the tears ran more freely then before. The pain of love lost. Her sister was a stranger to her now and she didn't know what else to do.

"Phoebe." Piper looked at the hurt in her sisters' face.

"I'm sorry Piper. I can't do this. I'll see you at home tomorrow." Was all Phoebe could manage between her own breaking heart, as she turned and walked out of the room.

He watched as the one that had kicked him down, suddenly run from the hospital.

"You could get at her."

"No, I want the one that I've been after since yesterday. No more games. I need her dead or I'm dead." He said as he felt the anger cursing through his being as he quickly exited the car and made his away to the hospital.


Leo appeared in a bask of blue and white light as he always did when he took solid form. He had been lucky when the demon had come to the door of the Manor. At the last second he had tried to orb, but as he did it was then the energy ball hit. But because of the partial orb it only stunned him. He knew full well it could have done more damage had he not reacted the way he had.

He saw Phoebe just ahead of him and knew that she was hurt. Not from an injury but an injury to the heart. "Phoebe. Stop." He called out to her

"Leo leave me alone. Go see Piper, I'm sure she's worried about you."

"And I'm worried about you." He answered back as he placed his arm on her shoulder to stop her and turn her to face him. "She didn't mean it Phoebe. She doesn't know any better right now. In fact she is probably even more freaked out wondering what the hell happened." Leo tried to explain to the youngest witch.

"I know Leo. I just want her back. I don't want her to be scared every time she sees me."

"And she won't. You just need to give her some time. Right now she is lost, scared, confused. And she will need you as much as you needed her when you were growing up. Because right now that is what she is doing. Growing up all over again. Re-learning everything she is meant to know."

Leo could see the wheels almost turning inside of Phoebes head as she took in what he was saying.

Phoebe listened to Leo as she re-thought what was going on. It was easy for her to run, but it was harder for her to stand her ground and help her sister.

"You have to go back Phoebe. They both need you now. Only the three of you can defeat this demon."

"We don't even know who it is."

"You do now. Before I returned to the Manor the Elders gave me the spell that would release the magical block that was preventing us locating Prue. But now they also think that it could lead you to her, and defeat her."

"Ok but in case you forgot. Prue doesn't remember anything about anything let alone being a witch. Not to mention she won't let me get within ten feet of her. How are we suppose to connect so we can do this?"

"You have to think of something and fast. All your lives may depend on it. Now come on. Let's go see your sisters. Piper is probably worried sick about you."

"And you. Darryl told her what happened." Phoebe added as she took his hand and turned around and went back towards the hospital.

Prue sat in awe of what had just happened. Had she done that? Had she thrown that girl back against the wall? She had wanted for her to get away from her and then she was suddenly thrown back the few feet to the wall. It wasn't but a few feet but she had heard the sound of her back hitting the wall. But the hurt on her face was not from the pain of the impact but that of emotional pain.

"Piper did I?" She asked the unfinished question.

Piper wrapped her arms Prue as if to protect her in ways Prue would have to Piper. She knew Phoebe was hurting inside more then outside. And she knew Prue was confused as to what was going on. She decide to let Phoebe be for the time been, and she would have a heart to heart with her sister that night at home. Right then she was just as worried about Prue who seemingly started to break down in her arms. She had used her power on her sister and she didn't even understand what had happened.

"Prue you did. But you didn't mean to. I can try and explain it to you, but you have to hold on to the fact that we are sisters. I know that is hard for you right now. But I've known you my entire life. I can try and explain things to you but you have to stay focused and realize that it's the truth. Can you do that for me?" Piper asked hoping her sister would try and understand what she was about to tell her.

Prue nodded her head, "I'll try." She quietly whispered.

"Ok. Where to start? You are the oldest sister of the three of us, and we come from a long line of witches." Piper paused to see how Prue would react. Luckily she did nothing so Piper continued. "We were raised by our Grams when our Mother died when we were all very young. We only found out the family secret just over two years ago, when Phoebe read an incantation from a BOS."

"Phoebe. That's the girl I hurt."

"Prue you didn't hurt her, not physically anyway. You've always been a mother to her, and to see you like this now hurts her more inside that anything you could do to her on the outside believe me."

"So, she is the baby?"

"Yeah she is, and she has always been your baby."

Piper continued to explain to Prue about them being witches and all that they had done together to help vanquish evil. And that they had a new threat looking for them. And what had happened to her with the demon blocking her power to them and Leo.

"So I will remember eventually?"

"I think so." Piper said as she held Prues eyes to her own

"And I can't take that risk." The husky voice came from the doorway.

Piper quickly took the defensive beside the bed as Prue found herself trying to hide behind her sister.

"Oh. What are you gonna do? Call your little sister? I believe I saw her crying all the way home. She can't save you this time." He said as he took a step forward towards the two of them.

Piper held up her hands and froze him where he stood, before turning back to Prue. "Prue honey. Come on lets get you out of here." She said as she helped her sister from the bed and quickly walked by him.

But as luck would be, he unfroze and grabbed Prues arm just as they walked by him

"Piper!" Prue screamed as she fought to get away from him.

As Piper was about to freeze him again she felt arms grab around her from behind, preventing her from using her powers. "I don't think so witch. My friend here has a job to do."

Piper watched helplessly as her big sister crumbled in the spot she was standing in, as the man held her in his arms. "Now should I make this quick or have a little fun with it?" he sneered down to her

"Just do it!"

"Alright already." He shot back, "night, night." He laughed as he wrapped his hands around her neck as she tried to break away from him

"Piper?"

"Ok. Let her go you bastard!" she yelled as too tried to get away.

"You're next." He said over her shoulder

There was nothing Piper could do as she watched helplessly as he squeezed the life from her sister. But as she felt the tear starting down her face she felt herself jerk forward, and then free from the demons grasp. As she turned around she saw Phoebe standing there in a fighting stance ready to strike again. But the demon that was there had second thoughts of getting caught and shimmered out of the room.

"Prue!" Phoebe cried out as she spun a roundhouse kick in the air kicking the man that held her sister in the jaw, knocking him back away from Prue.

Piper ran over to where Prue was and held hr in her arms as Phoebe spun around again, kicking him down. "I suggest you stay there." Phoebe said, as she stood ready to strike again over top of him.

The man may be a killer but he wasn't stupid. He held up his hands in defeat as he leaned back against the wall, a trail of blood trickling down his chin.

Phoebe only took her eyes off him for one brief moment as she looked over her shoulder to where her sisters were. Seeing that they were both ok for the time she focused back on the killer before her. Not unlike a demon of the underworld but a demon just the same. A man that would be has heartless then to take another mans life.

Darryl had come and taken the guy away leaving the sister to there own thoughts.

"I'm gonna go. I'll see you at home Piper." Phoebe said as she went to leave her sisters.

"Why don't you all go home?" Leo said as he came in to the room pushing a wheelchair. "Your chariot Prue." He said holding out his hand to help her into it

Prue was hesitant but after what she had witnessed in the past few hours she was nearly ready to believe anything.

Piper shared a quick look with Phoebe as they made their way into the driveway of the Manor. Helping Prue get adjusted to everything in the Manor Piper finally had her settled down on the couch. "I'll be right back honey. Do you want anything to eat or drink?"

"Um no. I'm ok. Thank you."

Piper watched her sister before turning back to the kitchen where she knew she would find her youngest sister. "Phoebs. How you doing?"

"I can't keep pretending like this doesn't hurt Piper." Phoebe explained as she looked into her coffee.

"I know honey. And it's wrong for me to keep asking you to give it time. But you have to." Piper said as she sat down beside her sister.

Phoebe didn't say anything as she watched her coffee get colder.

"Talk to her Phoebe."

"I can't get near her Piper. Look what happened last time. And I was only a few feet from the wall. Could you imagine what would happen if I was further way."

"Phoebe, you can't keep avoiding her. We have a demon to vanquish still."

"You think I don't know that!" Phoebe shot back, though quickly standing up and heading to the sink. "Piper I want this to work but I can't help but think its all those years of fighting, that know has this wall up between us. She is great with you right now, because you two always had a great relationship. We never did."

"Phoebe." Piper said not believing what her sister was bring up.

"It's true Piper."

"Look, go talk to her. Please. She can't hate you that bad right now. You just saved her life." Piper used her ace card. One that she knew Phoebe would react to.

Phoebe looked at Piper not really sure if she should believe what she had just said or not. "Fine. But if I get my ass kicked, again. I'm not talking to or going near her till she remembers everything." Phoebe finally conceded defeat, "And I won't talk to you either, " she added in as she made her way into the living room.

As she got closer to the couch she closed her eyes waiting for the look of fear in her sisters eyes. "Prue?" Phoebe spoke gently so as not to startle her sister. But to her surprise she got no answer at all. "Prue? You ok honey?" Phoebe asked again as she came around to the front and sat gently on the coffee table. Looking over at her sister, though still scared that Prue would start to freak out again.

"Thank you. For saving me." Prue said quietly. Though not looking at Phoebe.

"It's what sisters do." Phoebe stated as she looked at her siter, "God knows you've saved my ass more then once as we grew up, and since we became witches."

They say in an awkward silence before Phoebe took the courage to move towards Prue. At first Prue flinched at Phoebes touch but then seemed to relax a little as Phoebe slide in-between Prue and the arm of the couch. Holding her sister in her arms. It was a position that Prue had taken with her many times when she was upset or sick.

Piper watched her sister from the doorway but said nothing. Even she noticed the position that Phoebe was in. Maybe if they did things familiar to all of them Prue would start to remember.

Phoebe noticed Prue closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep. As Phoebe rested her head on Prues shoulder she just held her and spoke softly and gently to her. "Come back to me Pwue. Pwease."
