Two more months passed very quietly. There were no more big missions, nothing too exciting. Prue was still exceptionally fragile. Lierre had become quite reserved. They never played chess anymore.
Prue sat on the edge of her bed, her knees pulled up to her chest. She sniffled as she thought about leaving Lierre. She didn't want to leave him, but she could not stay in the Underworld. And maybe she could persuade him to join the side of good. She had seen it done.
"Hey."
Prue looked up at the quiet voice. Lierre. He was much more quiet since Rhome...
"Hey." Prue said equally quiet.
Lierre walked over and sat next to her. Prue dropped her feet over the edge of the bed, but didn't look up.
"Do you know...what you're going to do?" Lierre asked. Prue nodded sadly.
"I'm going back." She said, then looked into Lierre's eyes. "They need me. I - I dunno. I just...I have to go."
"I guess I understand." Lierre said. "They're your family."
Prue looked at the black bracelet on her wrist and sighed.
"Only a few more hours left." She said quietly.
"You're going to have to tell The Source your decision."
"I know." Prue sighed and leaned against Lierre. "Do you think he'll kill me?"
"He can't." Lierre told her. "It's a deal. He can't change anything now."
The two sat in silence. They sat like that until it was time for Prue to see The Source.
* * The Source's chamber * *
Prue walked in alone; she had to. She walked in front of The Source and saw the Seer standing next to him and smiling.
"Your decision." The Source said.
"I - I want to go back." Prue said.
The Source turned to the Seer, enraged.
"You said making her love would keep her in the fold!" The Source screamed. "You told me that she would become one of the most evil forces that was ever to walk the face of the Earth if she were tricked into loving that warlock! Emotions would make her stronger, you told me. You have failed!"
The Seer just smiled as she saw Prue begin to shake with rage.
"I have not failed. I've known all along." The Seer said and walked over to Prue, then stood next to her. "The Source is your enemy."
Prue was shaking terribly now.
"You're responsible for all of this!" Prue screamed. Every syllable dripped with undeniable rage. "You are the cause of Rhome's death! You knew what would happen!"
The bracelet on her wrist disappeared in a small cloud of sparks. Prue kicked The Source's sword from his hands, then picked up it and pointed it at The Source's heart.
"I can kill now." Prue said, then drove the sword through The Source's heart.
The Source screamed, then a blinding red light filled the room. Prue was unable to see anything besides the color read and all she could hear was The Source's roar of pain reverberating around the chamber walls.
After the noise and light faded, all that was left of The Source was a puddle of blood and his robes.
Prue turned to the Seer and the Seer kneeled before her. Prue threw the sword onto the robes.
"Up." Prue commanded.
The Seer stood and smiled at Prue.
"What has happened?" Prue asked.
"You have reached your full potential." The Seer said.
"What does that mean?" Prue asked.
The Seer picked up The Source's sword and robes and handed them to Prue, then said:
"You are The Source."
THE END
A/N: *GASP*! Oh, there is definitely a sequel coming! Oh yes indeed! It will be coming soon, cause I loved writing this story! Eeeeeeeeeee! I'm probably more excited than you are! =)
