Prue closed her eyes for rest but she didn't really rest. Her thoughts were on Phoebe. She knew Piper and her had a fight and she knew it had been bad. But she wasn't ready yet to tell them she had seen the fight.

She wasn't ready yet to tell them she was closer to death then they had ever thought possible. In every sense they had lost her, long enough for her to see she as still needed as her Grams had explained to her, as she listened to the two younger Halliwell argue and accusations fly across the room. Though the accusation were coming from one side only.

She wanted to reach out and take Piper in her arms and tell her it wasn't Phoebes fault but she couldn't she could only stand there with Grams as the words flew in anger.

Her heart reached out as Phoebe looked back in the room where she was lying and then ran off down the hallway. She took in Piper features and saw the anguish, despair and lose on her face. As much as losing Prue was hurting so was watching Phoebe ran off.

Piper held Prue's hand in hers as her own world continued to spin. Cole and Leo couldn't get a read on where Phoebe was. And she knew if anything happened it was her fault. She had pushed her away. "Cole have you any idea?" she asked hoping in some way her sisters' boyfriend was keeping a subtel lock on Phoebe.

"The last time I felt her was at the Manor." He answered realizing what Piper was thinking. And before anyone could even respond he shimmered out.

Leo looked down at Piper and Prue. Prue sleeping fitfully as Piper sat there worried. Not saying a word Leo orbed out following where Cole was heading, hoping it would lead him as well to Phoebe.

She held her stare at the demon before her not really sure what to do.

"What do you want?"

"What we all want. Your powers." He said calmly as she made a step towards her.

All Phoebe could do now was laugh.

"I am glad you find this amusing witch."

"I do, seeing as I just relinquished my powers."

"You LIE!"

"Yeah I wish. But if you want my powers, you cane to the wrong witch. I don't have any. See for your self." She turned the BOS towards him. "The spell I just read." She stepped back so he could see the spell clearly.

He eyed her with caution as he stood next to the famed BOS. Casting his eyes towards the words he read them knowing what they would do to a witch had she truly said them, "A trick."

"No trick. I read it to save my sisters." she moved a bit closer to the door. She may have relinquished her powers but she wasn't stupid. She knew a demon would take any opportunity to kill a Charmed One no matter what.

He watched as she moved slowly. He knew from the spell she might not have any powers to give him but who was to say it wasn't a trick.

"Nice try witch." the fireball formed before she could even react as it struck her in the upper arm, the pain nearly to much as she leaped for the attic door and down the stairs.

Cole and Leo appeared as the second fireball hit the doorframe. Missing its intended target.

"Bad shot Jiniva."

"Belthazor."

"You do realize that you are trying to kill my girlfriend right?" his words were mocking as he held the demons eye to his.

"A witch. To me nothing more." Jiniva replied as she fired at Cole.

He moved with speed as he shimmered out of the way to appear behind the demon.

"The Source sent you didn't he?"

"To kill her and you are to pay great rewards."

"Well give him a message for me. No one comes after us from now on or I will kill them." the energy bolt hit its mark. Giving Jiniva time to relay the message and that was it. His life would end after that, as the hit was fatal.

Cole and Leo both watched as the demon disappeared in a shimmer.

"Now what?" Leo asked hoping Cole knew the answers.

"Honestly? I have no idea. She took off and neither one of us can find her." Cole replied as his heart went out to Phoebe as well as her sisters. For without her he knew they would both be lost.

The rain once again pelted down on her as she ran for the only real home she had known. Sure she had NYC, but the Manor was always her real home. The one she felt safe in with her sisters. But now that was over. Prue was dead and Piper was more then pissed at her. She took one last look at it before she ran down the street away from everything she loved.

She didn't even know where to turn or where to go. She just knew she had to get out of San Francisco as soon as possible. She needed to put space between her and Piper.

She made her way into town and walked aimlessly through alleys and darkened passages. Ones she knew as a witch she should avoid and even as person she should, but she had to stay out of sight. She knew Cole and Leo, and once they discovered she was undetectable, they would call Darryl and have him search.

She was soaked to her skin but she didn't care. All she cared about now was getting away from Piper. Her thoughts as well turned to Prue. They had been working on what had happened when she turned back time. Working on rebuilding the friendship they both wanted, but more then that, building on the sisterhood they needed. But now as she leaned against the wall and slide down, it was a sisterhood lost forever.

--- ---- --- ----

Leo and Cole returned to the hospital not really knowing what to tell the sisters.

Piper kept her gaze at Prue as she worried for Phoebe. She ran her hand over the top of Prues head as her mind drifted. She wanted both her sisters' back was that so bad?

--- ---- --- ----

Her legs continued to pump as she ran from her only known home. But the rain pelted hared on to her skin.

The cover she tried to use was not helping much as the rain and wind reached her. So she moved from one place to the next. She had to stay hidden until the morning when she could catch the first bus out of town. But at that moment all she could do was hide and rest.

The night became colder as she tried to stay focused but she couldn't. She had stopped under a cupboard box staying hidden from the light of the streetlights above. Now all she really wanted was the comfort of her home and her sisters holding her tight. A wish she knew wasn't possible.

"Come on Billy this time we got this thing down pat."

"Yeah you said that last time Sam. And we got our asses kicked by some girl."

"Yeah. Well not this time. This time we are in that frat house no matter what is going on." as the words left his mouth he caught a glimpse of figure in the shadows. He looked again not really sure he was seeing what he was. But then he realized it was her. The same girl that had spoiled it last time but as he looked at her he knew this time would be different. This time he would win.

"Sam. I think our luck just took a change for the better." His words spoke out as he stepped towards the near unconscious girl against the wall. This time he would have her and get into the fraternity he had been pledging, as he looked back at his soon to be frat brothers. Everything was going to work out to his favour
