A/N: Chapter three. Throat still sore. I will try to update evn though this throat sucks to have. On with the story!





"Sorry there's no big welcome hug." Prue said to Lynn. "But, Ben is gone and we're thinking supernatural."

"Any idea at all where he is?" Lynn asked.

"No." Prue said. "Do you think you can take a nap, get a dream maybe?"

"I can't." Lynn said quietly, looking at the floor.

"What do you mean?" Prue asked.

"They took away all my powers." Lynn said. "Every single one of them. I'm mortal."

Prue cursed then went into the living room. Jeremy stumbled out.

"Hi Ly - whoa!"

Jeremy tripped and fell over his own two feet and banged his head. That was going to bruise.

"What's wrong with you?" Lynn asked as she helped him up.

"I'm cursed." Jeremy said, then tripped again, knocking Lynn into the wall. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"It's fine." Lynn said and rubbed her head.

"I think I'm going to just lay right here on the floor. Tell Prue for me, will you? I don't anyone stepping on me." Jeremy said and got cozy on the floor.

Lynn looked at him then walked into the living room. All eyes turned on her. She suddenly felt like a failure.

"I... I think I may have an idea." Lynn said.

"What?" Phoebe asked.

"Prue, remember last time with my powers? We could go to Merilda." Lynn said. Prue smiled sadly.

"No we can't." Prue said quietly. "Merilda passed away last year."

"Leo!" Cole called.

"He isn't going to be showing up you know." A voice said.

Everyone looked around for the source of the voice, but found none. Suddenly, an imp, floating in midair, appeared.

"Leo's preoccupied." The imp said.

"And who are you?" Piper asked.

"Me? Oh, 'tis not important who I am, witch." The imp said. "Now, the one I work for - oh, he is a force to be reckoned with."

"Just tell us about Leo." Cole growled. The imp laughed and did a somersault in the air.

"All in due time you will find the whitelighter." The imp said. "And the boy as well."

Cole stood up, enraged.

"You have Ben?" He asked, not even trying to hide his anger. The imp laughed again.

"Master holds them, back good demon." The imp said.

"You have two seconds to spill your guts or I'm going to spill them for you." Prue said and stood up.

"Ooo, a threat that be!" The imp exclaimed in a tone like he was talking to children. Then he waved his index finger at Prue and put a hand on his hip. "Mustn't threaten me if you want them both to live!"

Lynn stood, watching the scene. She knew the imp from somewhere, but she couldn't place him.

"Oh!" The imp exclaimed and zoomed through the air and floated right in front of Lynn. "Why, it be the youngest of the Three!"

The imp then smelled the air around Lynn and smiled somewhat evilly.

"Someone doesn't have their powers, do they?" The imp teased. Lynn thought of it. She knew who the imp was.

"To the depths of the cave of the sire, I send the imp Kloss to burn in the fire." Lynn said. The imp gasped and floated away from Lynn.

"You're no fun!" The imp exclaimed, then disappeared in a wisp of fire.

"Leo!" Phoebe yelled.

"He's not coming." Jeremy said. Everyone turned to see him supporting himself on the doorframe.

"What do you know?" Cole asked.

"I know who that imp was." Jeremy said. "I faced him once, back in the day. He's Kloss and Lynn just banished him from this house. He works for a demon known only as the Master."

"Does the Master have Leo?" Piper asked.

"I'm afraid so, and I think he has Ben too." Jeremy said sadly, then fell over.

"Come on." Prue said and started walking for the door.

"Wait, what're we doing?" Piper asked.

"We're going to find them." Prue said.
