I don't want to put this at the end, but do you think I should write a sequel? I won't put it up if no one will read it. Tell me in the review.

Melinda handed her spell to Phoebe, who nodded with approval. " 'To Find A Lost Demon-Witch," she read aloud. "Let's hope we'll never need this one again."

There was a minor explosion at the stove. Everyone turned to Piper. " Potion's done," she declared.

" Leo, Paige, Melinda, can you sense Philomela?" asked Cole. All three closed their eyes.

" She's alive," Melinda said, opening her eyes.

" But there's a magic shield blocking us from her location," Leo added.

" They obviously don't want company during the coronation," Peter commented.

" Too bad," Melinda said. Piper grinned and wrapped her arm around her daughter's shoulders.

" So how do we find her?" Paige inquired.

" The old-fashioned way," Piper said. Peter looked confused. His mother rolled her eyes.

" By looking. Don't strain yourself, Peter," Phoebe told him. "Let's go." Melinda grabbed Peter, and Piper and Phoebe clung to Leo. Cole looked upset.

" Don't forget to pick Prue up at school at three," Piper reminded him as they orbed away.

Demon attendants applied the traditional robes to Philomela. One painted red streaks on her face. She thought. Her parents were dead. The people who had cleaned up after her, who had taken care of her, told her that they loved her were dead.

What would Paige say? she wondered. My real mom, what would she think about this. Why do I care?

Because what you're doing isn't right, a voice in her mind said. Philomela smiled. The angel part of me thinks this is wrong.

I'm angel and demon. How strange, she pondered. How strange.

" The changing rooms are this way," Phoebe said, pointing down a hall. Peter gave her a strange look. " I remember, from when I was the Queen of Evil."

Peter shook his head. " Out of all the families in the world, I do believe we are the weirdest." The five walked down the corridor. Demons were fussing with Philomela's clothes, hair and makeup. Piper froze the room, including Philomela.

Paige looked at her daughter. I am a failure as a mother, she thought. I have let my daughter become the SOURCE!

" Just unfreeze Philomela," Leo instructed.

Melinda shook her head. " Just unfreeze her head." Piper obeyed and Philomela turned to look at her family.

" How did you find me?" the girl asked.

" Magic," Piper said.

" And we're also not stupid," Melinda added.

Paige walked to Philomela. "Why?" she asked her daughter.

Philomela hung her head. " Because…the Seer told me it was my destiny to be the Source. She had a premonition."

" That was the future," Paige agreed. " In 2002. The future is always changing. This future-" She waved her hand, pointing out Philomela's robes. " Is old news. Do you understand?"

Philomela wiped her eyes. " Sure I do," she murmured. " What do you think I am, stupid?" Paige grabbed her daughter and hugged her. Philomela tried not to cry but failed.

" The Seer…she killed my parents," the girl sobbed.

" You can come live with me," Paige whispered. " OK?" Philomela nodded.

" How sweet," a familiar voice said. Paige let go of her daughter and whipped around. The Seer stood there. Her face was warped and bitter. " Philomela," the Seer said, her voice severe.

" I'm not the Source," Philomela told her. " I may be part demon, but I'm a witch- and a Whitelighter- too." She looked triumphant.

Paige noticed the Seer had her hands behind her back. Suddenly she whipped green fire at her daughter. Philomela just stood there.

" NO!" Paige cried, pushing Philomela out of the way. The fire collided with Paige, eating away at her stomach and chest.

Philomela dropped to her mother's side. " Mom…" she said. Leo knelt beside Paige, but she shook her head. Her breathing was shallow and she was pale.

The Seer grinned a too-white smile as she began to chant something. A green dome encircled Phoebe and Piper. Horror-struck, Melinda ran towards it, but it blew her back into the wall, knocking her unconscious.

With his mind, Peter set fire to the Seer's robes. Her chanting did not end and the dome grew bigger. " Get away from my mother!" he yelled as he ran for the Seer.

Still chanting, the Seer waved her hand. Peter flew backwards, stunned. Leo ran to the dome but didn't get too close. Piper tried to freeze time frantically but failed.

"Piper!" cried Leo. She looked up at him, looking exhausted. Phoebe grabbed Piper, and Leo's wife mouthed, " I love you." The fiery dome that enclosed Piper and Phoebe exploded.

Paige reached up her hand, touching Philomela's face. Instinctively Philomela grabbed her hand, and with the little strength she had left, Paige smiled. "Love…you," the dying woman cried. " Always have…always will." The Charmed One closed her eyes.

Prudence Wyatt sat on the floor, ripping off the Velcro that held on her Barbie doll's shirt. " What do you think, Uncle Cole?" she asked. " Should Barbie go to the beach or to a party?"

Cole squinted at the doll. "Definitely the beach," he decided and handed her the Barbie bikini. He smiled. Little girls are so easy to please, he thought. Sometimes he wished he and Phoebe had had another baby.

In the corner of Prue's room, bright blue lights collected and formed. Melinda, Leo, and Peter reappeared, looking grave. Melinda's face was covered with tears. Philomela shimmered in a moment later, looking distraught.

" What happened?" Cole asked, standing up. He suddenly noticed Phoebe, Piper, and Paige weren't there.

" Something happened down there," Peter said softly. Prue stood up, confused.

" Where's Mommy?" Leo wiped at his eyes and grabbed his youngest daughter in a hug.

" She's gone, Prue," Leo told her as he smoothed her blonde hair. Cole looked over at his son, who wiped away a tear. The Charmed Ones were gone. Cole couldn't possibly imagine what would come next.
