Its official, I have no life other than school. I made the brilliant decision to double up on math this year and let me tell you, it wasn't so brilliant. So, with that said, I (as you can tell), am seriously lacking on updates. I do have other chapters written but I don't feel that they are very good. And I'd rather make you wait (I know I'm horrible) and give you a good chapter, than post sooner and give you a craptastic one.

THAT NIGHT

Prue sat in her room staring at nothing. Of course her sisters had talked her out of the power stripping potion. She had never intended to do it in the first place. She just needed to feel like she could do something to stop what was happening…but she couldn't.

Prue leaned over in the rocking chair that was in her room. Why couldn't this be a dream? Why couldn't she just wake up and find her life was back to normal?

Prue looked at her half cleaned out closet and shook her head. She needed to get out of here. She didn't have time to pack all this stuff…she needed to leave before everything else came crashing down.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

THE NEXT MORNING

Piper came into the kitchen and found boxes lying all over.

"What's going on?" Piper asked.

"I was able to get the landlord to agree to let me move in early, I'm moving in today" Prue said.

"What? Whoa, wait, you can't just leave…" Piper said. "Were you going to even bother to tell us?"

"Of course" Prue said. "I'm not leaving until noon"

"Noon?" Piper asked. "Prue, that's in two hours"

"I know" Prue said.

Phoebe came into the kitchen.

"Does anyone want to explain why I just tripped over a giant brown box in the hallway?" Phoebe asked.

Prue sighed.

"I'm moving out" Prue said.

"I'm aware, you're moving out in two weeks" Phoebe said.

"No, I'm not" Prue said. "I got the landlord to let me move early"

"Prue, this is insane" Phoebe said. "Why do you want to do this?"

"Because I need to start a life again" Prue said. "And the sooner I can get out of here, the sooner I can do that"

"Prue…."

"Fine" Piper said, cutting Phoebe off. "Do you need any help moving boxes?"

"No, I've got it" Prue said.

Piper nodded.

"Did you take some of the potion supplies from the attic?" Piper asked.

"No, I don't need them" Prue said.

"Yes, you do" Piper said. "Right now you're without an active power"

"Piper, I'll be fine" Prue said. "I'm just an orb away, remember?"

Piper nodded and hugged her sister.

"I love you" Piper said.

"Same here" Prue said, uncomfortably.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

3 HOURS LATER

"This is it" Prue said, looking around.

They had gotten there an hour ago. They had spent the last hour unpacking the essentials. Prue turned towards her sisters and saw their sad expressions. She tried to ignore them, convincing herself this was for the best.

"Are you sure you don't want us to stay and help you get settled in a little?" Piper asked.

"Piper, I'll be fine" Prue said.

Piper nodded, knowing Phoebe and she had to let Prue be for a little.

"If anything happens, I don't care if you can handle it or not, call for Leo" Piper said. "I mean it, no playing super hero, promise?"

"I promise" Prue said.

"Call us later" Phoebe said.

Prue nodded.

Piper and Phoebe hugged their sister.

"We love you" Piper said.

"I know" Prue said.

Piper and Phoebe held Prue for a little longer before they turned their attention to Anna.

"And you missy" Piper said. "You let your mom know who's in charge"

"And you call us everyday too" Phoebe said.

Prue smiled as her sisters kissed Anna's forehead.

"Guys, you'll see us again" Prue said. "I promise, it'll be like we're still living at the manor"

Piper sighed.

"So…I guess this is goodbye" Piper said.

"I guess it is" Prue said.

Piper and Phoebe looked at each other.

"Just don't hesitate to call" Piper said. "Even if it's just to talk or something"

"I won't" Prue said.

They all hugged once more. Leo entered the apartment.

"Are you ready to go?" Leo asked, softly, knowing this was the first time one of them would live outside the manor since becoming witches.

Piper nodded.

"Bye Prue" Phoebe said. "Bye Anna"

Piper and Phoebe walked out of the apartment with Leo. Prue waited for a minute before turning to where her daughter laid in her rocker.

"This is it, Anna" Prue said. "This is our new home"

Prue sat down in a chair by the rocker. She brought her knees up to her chest and looked around. She felt tears well in her eyes. This wasn't her, she rarely cried, but ever since the twins, it seemed like that was all she did.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

MANOR

Phoebe and Piper walked into the manor with Leo trailing behind them.

"I'll be in my room" Phoebe said.

Piper nodded and watched her sister head up the stairs. She felt Leo wrap his arms around her.

"She'll be okay, Piper" Leo said. "Both of them"

Piper sighed.

"I hope you're right" Piper said.

She leaned back into Leo. She saw Cole shimmer in front of them.

"She's upstairs" Piper said.

Cole nodded and started towards the stairs.

"Cole" Piper said. "She's taking this a little rough"

"I know" Cole said.

Piper nodded and Cole headed up the stairs. Piper took Leo's hand and they went into the living room to sit down. Leo watched as his wife stared into space, lost in thought. After a couple minutes, Piper turned to Leo.

"I don't know how to fix this" Piper said, her voice breaking.

Leo brushed away the tears that had started to roll down his wife's cheeks.

"Sometimes you can't fix it" Leo said. "Sometimes it has to fix itself"

Piper buried her head in Leo's shoulder.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Phoebe curled up on her bed. This didn't feel right. They left their sister alone to grieve the loss of her child….the loss of her child….that wasn't right either. Caleb wasn't dead. But she had lost hope in her sister ever having both of her children with her. It wasn't that way when Anna came from the future and it wasn't that way in Phoebe's premonitions…so maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

Phoebe shook her head…that's what had made her sister move out. They had convinced her that she couldn't find Caleb…that she wasn't meant to find Caleb. They didn't realize it at the time, but they had taken the last thing their sister had left…her hope.

Tears streamed down Phoebe's cheeks and guilt consumed her. They could've done something….She could've done something, anything, to help her sister, but she didn't and now Prue was gone. Sure Piper said she'd come back once she figured things out, but that was a lie. There wasn't anything to figure out, everything was already decided. There would be no happy ending for Prue. She wasn't going to get to raise both of her children. She wasn't going to get to be a family….

Phoebe lifted her headed when she saw Cole come into the room. She sat up and wiped the tears off her cheeks.

"Please help me get him back" Phoebe said.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

THE NEXT MORNING- PRUE'S APARTMENT

"It's too late" a voice said. "Caleb is mine"

"He's not evil" Prue said. "He never will be"

"You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?" the voice asked. "Well I guess I'll just have to prove you wrong"

Prue saw a young looking Caleb in front of her; at most he was three years old. She looked around and noticed they were in some kind of old building.

"Hey little guy" a police officer said, coming over to Caleb. "Listen, we have to get you out of here, buddy"

Caleb smiled and giggled and the officer. Caleb formed an energy ball in his hand.

"Bye bye" Caleb said, smiling.

He threw the energy ball at the officer and the officer flew backwards.

The scene then switched again. This time Caleb was in an alley and he was about eight. Caleb was following a young woman who looked to be in her mid twenties. He had just formed a fireball when Prue saw an older version of herself behind him.

"Caleb!" the older Prue exclaimed.

Caleb whipped around and the energy ball released towards Prue. Prue saw her future self thrown into the brick wall. She fell to the ground, limp, with blood trailing from her ear and nose.

Prue shot up from her bed. She was covered in sweat and her heart was pounding.

"I should've figured you weren't dead" Prue said.

Alright I know this chapter was rushed and maybe even a little OOC (Plus I admit the power stripping potion was rushed), but I there's a lot of issues that have to be worked through and this is the start of them.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

REPLIES: I'm having a very daydreamy (cool, I invented a new word) kind of day today. I've seriously just spent 30 minutes on replies because I keep drifting off to lala land. So I apologize if I trail off in the middle of any thoughts or if something I say doesn't make sense.

Mctittles: I have no idea if you're actually reading this or not, since you just caught up, but I haven't gotten to reply to you yet so I figured I'd do it here. I just wanted to say that I'm glad you like the story and have taken time to catch up in it. So, thanks for reading and thank you for reviewing!

LukelovesLorelai: Crazy

Lizardmomma: Yeah, my kitty has recently figured out if he gets on the computer desk while I'm typing and sits directly in front of the screen, he gets fed so he'll stop bugging me. Of course, then he always decides to bat at the cursor…alright, I'm getting way off subject. It's been so long since I updated you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. Well thanks for reviewing anyway, lol.

Jorden's Prayla: I'm glad you liked it. And I promise you this chapter is very much going to be the start of a turning point. Thanks for reviewing!

Mony19: I'm glad you liked the last chapter. Like I told the reviewer above, this chapter is going to be the start of a turning point. In the next few chapters the sisters are going to have to start working through the many many issues I've created. Thanks for reviewing.

RIP GG and VM: I was so happy when I saw your review. A few of my regular reviewers hadn't been reviewing and I was like, where is everyone, lol. But I'm glad you're back and I'm glad you didn't take me off your alert list, lol. I'm also glad (wow, I'm very glad about things today), that you liked the last few chapters. Thanks for reviewing!

Charmedchick34: I'm glad the last chapter was worth the wait. Hopefully this one was too, lol. Thanks for reviewing!

Brittany: I'll forgive you for not reviewing that chapter if you forgive me for not updating for over a month, lol. Seriously, it's fine, I completely understand the busy thing (hence the month long delay). Unfortunately there wasn't a Phoebe Prue scene in this chapter but I worked all weekend on future chapters in this story and I can safely say one of them includes a major Prue Phoebe scene. I'm glad you liked the last chapter and hoped you liked this one. Thanks for reviewing!

MJLS: Glad you liked the chapter and thanks for reviewing!

LucyCelticPrincess: Sorry the power stripping thing was a little rushed. I had one idea and then I switched ideas so I kind of skimmed over that. But other than that I hope you liked the chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

Charmed4eva1990: Glad you liked the chapter and thanks for reviewing!
