He watched her as she slept peacefully. Ok man; don't screw this up he thought. It's just a woman, even if she does wake up what the hell can she do to you. He crept forward quietly. Only a few more feet he thought. Then he saw her stir. She looked right at him and then she was gone. What the hell? Where did she go? He thought.

Piper wasn't sleeping very well. She had woken several times during the night over worry. She didn't know where Prue and Phoebe were. If they were hurt or worse: dead. She turned over at a sound in the distance. What was that? She said to herself. Not wanting to make any sudden movements she stayed perfectly still. Then she opened her eyes to see a figure standing about five-ft from her. He seemed shocked as they locked eyes. Out of pure instinct she threw up her hands in defense, getting the resolute that she was not expecting. He froze. Piper looked up at him in shock. Standing up she waved her hand in front of his face to make sure that she was not dreaming. "Ok I thought Prue said our powers didn't work?" Piper looked again and took this opportunity to flee. Leaving the man to figure out what happened to her on his own time. Not sure where she was going to go Piper just wanted to get away from him. Running through the trees she headed in the direction the Prue and Phoebe had gone earlier.


"What do you mean she just disappeared?"

"That's what happened I swear. One minute she was there and the next she was gone."

"You idiot. I send you to do a simple task and you let her get away. Mac get this idiot out of my site."

Mac grabbed him and pulled him towards the door.

"NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!"

"Whatever." He said as he turned his back on the door.


Piper had run as far as she could go. Looking at her watch she knew that the sun would be rising soon. Spotting a tree that looked fairly comfortable she stopped and leaned against it. "Oh guys where are you. And why did my power work? I thought Prue said our powers didn't work here." Settling in, Piper had a million thoughts going through her head as she drifted back to sleep.


Prue and Phoebe had the best sleep of everyone that night. Prue just holding her sister, and Phoebe relaxing against her. As the sun slowly broke the crest of the cliff they had jumped off the night before Prue awoke. Not moving for fear of waking her sister. She was worried about Phoebe, as she should. Stroking her hand across the top of Phoebes head she just prayed that they would find Piper and get out of this alive.

Phoebe stirred against her sister as she slowly woke up.

"Hey, morning sunshine." Prue said

"Are you talking to me or that bright light in the sky?" Phoebe asked with a slight smile

"Haha. You silly."

"Yeah ok. So are we going to find Piper now?"

"If you're ready."

"More then ready. And then lets figure this mess out. Someone is after one of us and we don't know who or why."

"So we sit down and go through our lists again."

"Sounds like a good idea. Oh I need food." Phoebe complained as she rubbed her stomach.

Standing up Prue pulled Phoebe up with her. "Come on Phoebs. The faster we find Piper the faster we get out of here."

Standing next to her sister Phoebe nodded her agreement. "No argument here."

"How's the head?" Prue asked concerned

"Better. And I mean it. Thanx."

"Your welcome. Now come on, we have a sister to find." Prue said as she took Phoebes hand and they started their search for Piper.


Piper woke against the tree but kept her eyes closed. She wanted to wake slowly in hopes that this was all just a nightmare. She soon found out it was not as she could feel the hot breath of something against her leg. Slowly opening her eyes she could see the figure of a black cat sniffing her leg. Raising her hands slowly she then froze the cat in place. Pulling her leg away and standing up she backed up a bit when she then realized what it was. The Black Panther just stood there frozen. "Oh this is so not my week." She said as she moved further away. Turning around she ran right in to the open arms of Alex.

"Hello Piper."

"Let me go."

"Oh I don't think so. You see there is this friend of mine that would love to meet you. You see he doesn't think he needs my help. But you and I both know that he does."

"What are you talking about?" Piper asked trying to get her hands free to freeze him

"Oh you see he is human and not to bright. He doesn't know that you are all witches. He didn't realize that I gave him the necessary drug to neutralize your powers. No he had to be a big man and just use it on Prue."

"What are you talking about?"

"Prue told you your powers wouldn't work. Well right now it's just hers that don't work. But in about an hour yours won't either." He said as he pulled the wet rag and held it over Piper face. She soon went slump in his arms. Easily picking her up he then shimmered out and reappeared back at the camp.

"Hey what are you doing here again?" One of the men yelled at him.

Dumping Pipers body to the ground Alex just glared at the man. "Tell your boss this is the only one I will help him with. From now on he is on his own." Alex turned and shimmered out. Leaving the man starring at the spot that he was standing in.

The man went over and picked up Piper and carried her in to the shack. "Hey boss that Alex guy said this was the only one he would help you with. Then he just disappeared."

"Disappeared how?"

"I'm not sure he just disappeared."

"Who the hell is this guy?"

"I don't know but he also said he was not going to help you with the other two."

"I don't need his help. With Piper here, Phoebe will come to me. These two were always tight. Take this and tie it around a branch where she will find it" He said as he handed the man Pipers jacket. "Wait a minute." He said as he quickly wrote out a note for her. "Attach this to it as well."

"Soon you will come to me Phoebe. If just to save your sister."


Prue and Phoebe had made there way around and found themselves standing on the top of the cliff that they had jumped off of the day before.

"So now what?" Phoebe asked

"Now we head in the direction that we were running from yesterday."

"What about our friend?"

"Well if we see him again we'll figure it out then. Come we have to get to Piper she is probably worried sick about now."

"Got my vote." Phoebe said

As they walked along neither sister said much. They both were trying to figure out who had brought them to this island and why. Getting to the place where they had agreed to set up camp the night before Phoebe practically ran to the campsite.

"Piper?" Phoebe hollered.

Getting no answer she tried again. "Piper! Come on where are you?" Phoebe called out getting worried herself. "Prue where is she?" Phoebe asked her sister hoping that she would know the right answered.

"I don't know Phoebe." Prue answer her concerned sister.

Phoebe sat down on the ground just under the lean-too and was pulled into a premonition.

Prue saw the look on Phoebes face and knew right away that her sister was having a premonition. But how my powers don't work I naturally assumed. Just then Phoebe gasped.

"Phoebe what did you see?" Prue asked her sister

"Oh. Give me a minute Prue." Phoebe answered. Her premonition always made her slightly dizzy at the best of times but since her little incident yesterday it was ten times worse.

Placing her hand on Phoebes shoulder Prue just let her know that she was there for her. "Take you time honey."

"Oh I saw Piper here. She used her powers to freeze some guy that was approaching her. But then I think she was taken buy our demon. I saw this guy holding her and then they shimmered out."

"That's it?"

"Yeah I don't know what happened after that besides my new headache." Phoebe replied

"Ok so we have to find this demon and figure out what he did with Piper."

"Works for me. I'll work on a spell."

"Ok. I guess I'll wait." Prue said as she sat down beside her sister.


The room slowly started to come alive. She could hear sounds and smell aromas. She didn't dare open her eyes just yet. Not until she figured something's out. What was that that he had said about my powers not working within an hour? She thought. And who was that guy? She slowly realized that her hands were tied and resting in front of her. Cocky she thought. She opened her eyes and began to focus on the sights around her. As everything became clearer she could make out a figure standing by the window. He turned and looked right at her.

"Piper, you're awake. Good morning."

Piper just starred at him in disbelief "I thought."

"Thought what? That I was in jail? No. No thanx to your sister, you and Prue. I managed to get out."

"How?"

"Does that really matter Piper. I will get my revenge on your sister and there is nothing you can do about it."

"Why are you doing this?"

"BECAUSE SHE RUINED MY LIFE!" he yelled.

"And you did hers Ryan. You got my sister hooked on drugs for crying out load. Isn't that bad enough?"

"No. She ruined me twice Piper. As the old saying goes Third times the Charm. And this time it will definitely be worth it.
