Prue gave a heavy sigh. "Okay, you know what, you stay here. We have to find Daisy before the darklighter does. We'll just have to do it using each other's powers. Come on, Phoebe," and we walked out the door, down the stairs and out the door of the Manor.
Well, just like I told you, it took awhile for me and Prue to figure out the triggers for our new (hopefully) temporary powers. But by bringing up some old not-so-pleasant memories, like my high-school nickname of Freebie (rumor, only, I insist!) and the time I got blamed for denting Gram's car fender, when it was actually Prue, we figured out where the darklighter and Daisy were. We even managed to get her away from him and bring her back to the Manor.
As soon as we got in the door, Daisy's face turned pale. She thought that some flowers sitting in a vase on a table were from Alec the darklighter, since that was his way of letting her know he was keeping an eye on her. But the note with the flowers announced that they were from Andy and he needed to see her right away. She didn't think she should leave us, but I reminded her that I could protect Daisy, since I was the one with the active powers now. With new respect for me in her eyes, Prue agreed. Out the door she went while Daisy and I ran up the stairs to check on Leo.
There we found Leo apparently asleep on the couch, while you were sitting on the floor, your back to us.
"Piper," I started. "We found Daisy ..."
You turned back, devastation and agony on your face and in your tearless eyes. "I tried. I really tried. He's gone."
"NO!" screamed Daisy.
"No!" I also screamed. "Piper, what happened?"
"I tried to find the trigger. I really tried! But I just couldn't. Then Leo looked at me and said, 'When I die," and I told him that he wasn't going to die, but he finished, "And when it happens this is where I want to be. I love you,' then he closed his eyes and stopped breathing. Why couldn't I save him, Phoebe? Why?"
I ran to hug you as tightly as I could. "I don't know, honey; I don't, but I wish I did."
Suddenly I heard clattering on the steps. "Daisy!" and I ran off after her, grabbing her at the landing. "You've got to stay here! I don't think this is the best time for you to be alone."
She shook her head. "Without Leo, it's just a matter of time before Alec finds me again. I have to get away."
"No," I insisted. "My sisters and I can take care of Alec."
"I don't want you to try. Too many people are dead now because of me. and now Leo..." and she started to cry.
"Honey, that's not your fault." I consoled her.
"It doesn't matter. When Alec finds me again, he's not gonna let you get in the way either. It's better off that I leave. Trust me. I have to go."
"DON'T YOU DARE!"
