So, this chapter's kind of short and definitely not my best but I have good news. I waited to update so I could take the time to type out the next two chapters after this so there will be quicker updates. Yea!
Piper heard her door open but didn't look up. She continued sobbing into her pillow.
"Piper" Leo said.
Piper's head shot up.
"Leo" Piper said.
She got up and hugged him.
"I thought I had lost you" Piper sobbed.
Leo held Piper until she calmed down.
"How are you here?" Piper asked.
"You'll have to ask Prue" Leo said, still confused at what Prue had done.

PRUE'S ROOM
Prue sat on her bed, her head in her hands. If you listened closely you could hear the tiny suppressed sobs coming from her. She looked up at her mirror. Trails of mascara ran down her cheeks. She couldn't take it anymore; she was crushing under all the pressure. Maybe if she had just had someone to share it with. She heard a knock at the door. She quickly wiped her eyes and laid down, hoping the person would think she was sleeping. She heard her door open and someone sat down on her bed. Immediately the smell of her mother's perfume filled her nose.
"I know you're awake, Prudence" Patty said. "I heard you"
Prue turned to her mom.
"I don't want to talk" Prue said.
"We don't have to talk" Patty said. "We can just sit here"
Patty held out her arms and Prue fell into them.
"I'm so glad you're here" Prue said.
Patty kissed the top of Prue's head.
"I'm…I'm scared" Prue said softly, finally saying out loud what she had never told anyone.
"I know" Patty said. "I'm scared too"
"I can't let them die" Prue said.
"You won't" Patty said.
"You don't know that" Prue said.
"Of course I do, I'm your mother" Patty said.
Prue rolled her eyes.
"Prue, I have to go back" Patty said. "But if you ever need anything, summon me"
Prue nodded.
"You're sisters are worried about you" Patty said.
"I know" Prue said. "But they're going to ask how I brought Leo back and what happened and I don't want to tell them"
"Wait, how did you bring Leo back?" Patty asked, now concerned.
Prue was silent.
"I'm not really sure" Prue said, uncertain.
Patty was silent for a second.
"Just be careful, that demon's still out there" Patty said.
"I know" Prue said.
"I should go" Patty said, after a minute.
Prue nodded. Patty stood up and walked towards the door, she stopped before leaving.
"It'll all turn out" Patty said, turning back. "You just have to believe"
Prue smiled weakly and Patty left the room.
"I'm not sure what to believe in anymore" Prue said, quietly.

"Did you talk to her?" Phoebe asked.
Patty nodded.
"She's…I never told her…" Patty stopped.
"You never should've told her what?" Piper asked.
"When she was little I told her it was her job to protect you two" Patty said. "Now, she's so scared she'll lose the two of you"
"But she doesn't have to protect us anymore" Phoebe said.
"She knows that" Patty said. "But I don't think she can stop it"
"Yeah, well now it's our turn to protect her" Piper said. "Did you see what the demon looked like?"
Patty nodded.
"I don't have much time left so we have to hurry" Patty said. "Cole and Leo, make sure nothing happens to Prue"
Patty, Piper, and Phoebe headed up to the attic. Patty headed to the book and started flipping through it. After a few minutes she stopped.
"This one" Patty said. "This is the demon"
Piper and Phoebe looked at the page. They skimmed the page.
"Madelia" Piper said. "I kind of assumed the demon was a guy I guess"
"Yeah, well we're lucky if our demons are either half the time" Phoebe said. "Mom, what did the demon do to Prue?"
"Your sister has lost a lot in her life, all of you have" Patty said. "Somehow the demon used all of it against her and when I got there she was ready to kill herself"
The attic was quiet as Piper and Phoebe soaked in what had happened to there sister.
"Have you noticed that no one has tried to directly kill one of the babies?" Piper asked, finally breaking the silence.
"The Source" Phoebe said. "When she was first pregnant"
"But it didn't work" Piper said. "My guess is the only way Caleb and Anna can die is if Prue is the one to kill them"
"But she would never do that" Phoebe said.
"That's why the demon toyed with her emotions" Patty said. "To focus on killing herself, not the babies"
"So if we can vanquish this demon then Prue should be safe until the Source decides to take her away" Phoebe said.
"Then…"
"Then we pray to god our plan works" Piper said.

PRUE'S ROOM
Prue saw the Source shimmer into the corner.
"What do you want?" Prue asked, annoyed.
"I've figured out what you did" the Source said.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Prue said.
"So the almighty Prue Halliwell used evil for personal gain" the Source said. "I have to say this is a much better side of you"
"I did it for good" Prue said. "Not for personal gain"
The Source laughed.
"That's just the beginning" the Source said.
"You wish" Prue said.
"I really didn't think you had it in you" the Source said.
Prue looked up and glared at him.
"I did it for my family" Prue said. "And I will never do it again"
"Prue" Piper said from outside the door.
Piper opened it.
"Who are you talking to?" Piper asked.
Prue looked in the corner.
"No one" Prue lied.
"We found the demon" Piper said. "Phoebe's making a potion to vanquish her"
"Good" Prue said.
"I'm not going to ask questions, Prue" Piper said. "I just need to know if what you did to bring back Leo put yourself in danger"
"No" Prue said.
Piper looked at her for a second.
"So, I can't stay in my room forever" Prue said. "What can I do to help?"
"Prue…I don't think that's a good idea" Piper said.
"Yeah, well I don't think sitting around doing nothing is a good idea" Prue said. "I might go insane"
"I guess you can help me with the potion" Piper said.
Prue stood up and they went up to the attic.
"Those stairs are kind of difficult when you can't see your feet" Prue joked, trying to lighten the mood.
Phoebe smiled and went back to her spell. Prue sat down on the couch.
"You okay?" Phoebe asked.
Prue nodded.
"Someone's having a boxing match with my kidney" Prue said, placing a hand on her abdomen.
"Sounds fun" Phoebe said.
Prue watched Piper get out the ingredients for the potion.
"So what's the demon's name?" Prue asked.
"Madelia" Piper said. "Doesn't really say what her power is, just says she's powerful"
"And extremely hard to catch" Prue said. "I could've had her"
"It's probably a good thing you didn't" Phoebe said. "The power of three is barely strong enough to vanquish her"
Prue didn't respond.

UNDERWORLD
"It's time" the Source said. "I can feel it"
"Do you want to risk it?" the cloaked figure asked. "It could be another two months"
"Let's just say it's not just Caleb I'm after now" the Source said. "She'll do anything for her family"
"What exactly are you planning to do?" the cloaked figure asked.
The Source laughed.
"You'll see" the Source said. "Summon Madelia"

REPLIES:
Scme: Yea! A new reader! I always love getting new readers. I'm glad you like the story. As you can see bringing Leo back has created some major problems for Prue. Thanks for reviewing.
Mony19: I always loved the relationship between Prue and her mom. I had planned to bring her in later but it just worked out better to bring her in now. Thanks for reviewing!
PrueTrudeau: Wow, a long review deserves a long reply. So first off, I always did love that Piper got a little stronger after Prue died (however I think in the later seasons they took it a little too far). Second, Prue is definitely under some tremendous pressure and as the birth of the twins grows nearer you will see her have a few more breakdowns from the pressure. Thirdly (I have no idea if thirdly is a word but it is now), next chapter my bomb of demons will explode. Fourthly, I have never liked the Cole/Prue idea just because I am an obsessive Prue/Andy fan (hence the pen name), and I like Cole and Phoebe together. Fifthly, Piper wasn't necessarily mad at Prue, she just didn't want to talk at the time. Sixthly, I brought Leo back so soon because it's what I have based the next four chapters on. What Prue did for her family is going to blow up in her face. So that's why I did it. Although bringing a dead mouse back to life would've been kind of funny to write. Thank you so much for your long reviews, I love them.
Brittany: I know. I mean just because the actress quit or got fired or whatever really happened, doesn't mean you should cut her character completely out of the show. They mention her like once or twice at the end of the series finale. When they were showing the pictures of all the family members, they never even showed her. I don't know if they weren't allowed to maybe because of Shannon quitting but you could at least find a picture of girl who looks like her and put it up on the wall. Okay, sorry, that rant has been coming ever since I watched the last episode. Anyway, glad you liked the chapter and I hope you liked this one.
PaigeMatthews06: All things will clearly explained later on. Right now I'm hinting towards what she did, I'm probably making it obvious but that's so nobody gets confused. Anyway, thanks for reviewing!
