Prue paced in her lone prison, for that's what it was to her, a prison. She couldn't leave there without Cole's help. He had taken her there and then taken off. All she wanted then more then anything was to be with her sisters. "You better not die on me Phoebe Halliwell." She paced more as she thought of how to get home to her sisters. "I could try a spell. Maybe come up with something to get me back home." She ran her fingers through her black hair, "Though on the fly, spell writing is Phoebes thing. Not sure if I want to try that when I'm on a completely different plane. God only knows where I'd end up."

"You talking to yourself?"

Prue spun around, her hands ready in a fighting stance, just like Phoebe had taught her. "What the hell happened to you?" she asked as soon as she realized who was talking to her.

He held her gaze but made no move towards her.

She kept herself ready for any attack. Like her sisters, she had only once seen him in his demonic form. She had to admit, it scared her then and it was scaring her now. She felt the hard glass in her hand as she tightened her grip on the potion that would vanquish him. "Cole?"

He twisted his neck, holding his gaze at her still, as he let out a low growl. One that made Prue take a hesitant step backward.

"Cole. Don't do this."

He lifted his head to the sky and let out a death growl as he tossed an energy ball into the vastness of the plane they were on. He fought as he pushed the demon inside him back, turning back into Cole.

Prue had almost thrown the potion when he hollered and threw the energy ball. But stopped herself in time, as she saw him fighting to shift back into his human half. "Cole?"

He looked at her before siting down, "Give me a second here will ya. I nearly died. AND I almost became what I swore I never would again."

Prue stood her ground as she glared at Cole. "Damn it Cole you are the one that brought me here. Then you take off, to what? Get yourself killed? And you called me crazy. Just shimmer me back to the Manor and Piper and I will figure this out. With or without your help."

He slowly lifted his head and met her gaze. When he had first started to study them he always knew that Prue was the strong one. The one that had always protected her sisters no matter the cost to herself. She had given up a great deal of her own childhood to help their Grams raise Piper and Phoebe.

He stood up and took a slow step towards her, his eyes holding an almost warning look in them, "You were the ones that got me into this Prue. I nearly died down there trying to help you."

"It wasn't me that wanted your help to start with it, was Piper."

"So be it. But you still got me involved. And by now the entire underworld probably knows I'm still alive."

"That's isn't our problem."

"No? Because, as you have always thought, Phoebe should have just vanquished me. And if she had, I wouldn't be able to help you now. And the Source wouldn't be looking for me once again and putting your family in more danger then before. We love each other Prue and that is something you may have to live with." He quickly reached out and grabbed her tight by the wrist of the arm that held the potion. Even if she could have, in that split second, to use it she couldn't, as he twisted her arm up and shimmered the two of them out of the plane

She looked into his eyes and could almost see and feel the evil inside of him. The next she saw was everything around her going out of focus then nothing.

Piper sat beside Phoebes bed on the floor. She had felt an overwhelming wave of love not that long ago and then nothing. Her greatest fear was that Phoebe had lost her battle, had given up.

She looked up suddenly when she saw the slight distortion in the air and Cole and Prue appeared.

"Prue?"

Prue pulled at her arm the same time Cole let her go, causing her to slightly loose her balance. "You bastard."

"Get over it." He tossed Prue a small vile. "You'll need that to make the cure." He took one last look at Phoebe before he started to leave.

"Cole." Prue stopped him before he could shimmer away.

"Don't say it Prue. I didn't do it for you. I nearly died down there. I did what I had to do because I can't live knowing she died and I didn't help her." He didn't say anything more but held her eyes to his, "I hurt him bad. If that works, you should be able to vanquish him." He then shimmered out before anything more was said.

Prue stood her ground where Cole had left her, before she even turned to see Piper sitting on the floor crying. "Piper?"

Piper looked up at Prue as the tears ran down her face. "Prue?"

Prue quickly made her way around the bed and crouched down beside her sister, taken her in her arms, "What is it?"

"She's gone. I felt this wave of love then nothing."

Prue heard what Piper was saying, "No. Piper she can't." she looked at Phoebe, she seemed so much paler then she had when she left. She reached her hand up and shakily felt for a pulse, as her own tears started down her face. "Oh god Please." It was a rush of memories of times they had all come close to dying. As Prue remembered when they went back to the past not that long ago. And Piper and her thought they had lost Phoebe burning at the stake of their own future.

She closed her eyes and prayed as she felt for the very weak pulse. Her sister was still alive but she knew at that rate, not for long. "Come on Piper we haven't much time." She pulled her sister to her feet and dragged her up to the attic.

Piper felt the pull to her arm and wanted to pull back, "Prue? What the hell?"

"She isn't dead yet Piper and I don't intend for her to die either. Not after everything we've gone through to get this damn cure."

Piper looked at Phoebe and then ran after Prue.

Patty looked down at her daughter and looked up at her favourite Aunt. There seemed to be an unspoken word between them.

"She's a fighter Patty just like you."

Patty looked back down at Phoebe and then out to the sky. "It's getting darker."

Aunt Phoebe looked out across the sky as well. She could hear the thunder clapping in the distance. She sat down beside her Niece and Great Niece. She ran her fingers through Phoebes hair looking into her big brown eyes, "Hang in there a bit more sweetie."

Phoebe looked up at her Mother and her Great Aunt. "Mum?"

Patty tried to hold back the tears in her eyes, "Yes honey?"

"When I'm with you. Will I get to see my sisters?"

Patty looked at her Aunt not able to hold in the tears any longer, "Oh sweetie. You'll see them everyday that you are alive. Because I will not let you die sweetie. You have to hold on. Don't give up."

Phoebe closed her eyes. She was so tired. All she wanted was to sleep. Her eyes were getting heavier with each moment. It was like when she was little and she was determined to stay up with Prue and Piper to watch a movie. She would fight and fight to stay awake until finally she lost the battle.

Each time Patty saw Phoebe start to drift off she would wake her up. But she knew that time was of an essence for her youngest daughter. She knew that eventually she wouldn't wake up.

Prue and Piper rushed back down the stairs, hoping that what they had would work. There were a lot of potions in the BOS that would cure most infections from upper level demons. But there was only one that required either his blood or a piece of him.

Prue practically slid on the hard wood floor in Phoebes room, as she rushed to the bed. Letting a few small drop land on Phoebes lips she then used her finger to help guide the potion into her sister.

"Prue. What if?"

"Don't say it Piper. It will work. It has to." She let a few more drops fall to her sisters' mouth, as she ran her fingers lightly through Phoebes curls. "Come on sweetie. Come back to us." Prue leaned forward and rested her head on Phoebes forehead, "I love you."

Patty looked down at Phoebe as the thunder above them got louder and louder. She felt the first splatter of rain on her hands and arms. She looked at Phoebe as she bent down and rested her head on the top of her young daughters; "I love you."
