A/N: To answer a question, Phoebe knew about Paige because season four was a dream that The Source had made Phoebe see (Brain Drain style) while he had her prisoner.

A/N 2: Guess what. This chapter has not been spellchecked! A totally new concept, ay?







Darryl pulled onto the scene and the first thing he noticed was the utter chaos. People from the apartment building were cluttered around, chattering in their bathrobes. He shook his head as he got out of the car.

"Get these people behind barracades." Darryl said to an officer. The officer nodded and ran off.

"Morris, over here!"

Darryl turned and saw Cortez motioning for him to talk to him. Darryl sighed and walked over.

"What is it?" Darryl asked.

"You should sit down." Cortez said quietly.

"I don't have time for this." Darryl snapped.

"Look, the victim... is a Halliwell."

Walking away from Cortez, Darryl pushed through the crowd of officers that had formed around the victim. When he saw it was Phoebe, he put a hand over his mouth and rushed away, he was going to be sick.

At the manor, Prue and Piper were pacing around the kitchen. Dr. Parker had called and informed them that Phoebe had escaped. He had high hopes that she was just returning home, but as the minutes ticked by, Prue and Piper were slowly losing hope.

Leo orbed in, looking defeated.

"I couldn't sense her anywhere." He said.

"Did you try down there?" Prue asked.

"No..."

"Well then go!" Prue said. "They could have her!"

Leo orbed out and the phone rang. Piper immediately picked it up.

"Hello? ... Darryl slow down. What ha - ... Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God."

Piper slid to the floor and Prue gently took the phone her.

"Darryl? It's Prue. What happened?"

When Prue got the answer, she dropped the phone and slid down onto the floor, next to Piper. They fell into each other's arms, sobbing.

At the scene, Paige watched everything from behind the barracades. She was intently watching one officer who looked completely devastated. Her attention was drawn away from him by the conversation of two nearby officers.

"I think someone should tell Morris to go home."

"He's so close with the Halliwells."

All the thoughts left Paige's mind. The Halliwells? That woman was a Halliwell?

Paige wondered if she should approach the grieving officer, but decided against it. She wasn't even sure if she really was a Halliwell and she didn't want to seem disrespectful.

Prue leaned back and stared up at the ceiling. She sniffled and looked to her right. Piper was sitting near the wall, crying silently. They hadn't moved much since Darryl called.

Leo orbed in and looked down at Piper and Prue.

"She wasn't there." He said quietly.

Piper covered her face with her hands and began to sob again.

"She's gone." Prue said, pained. "She's dead, Leo."

"What?" Leo asked in a whisper.

"I don't know how." Prue said. "But she's gone. I know.... I know they had something to do with it."

"I'm not disagreeing." Leo said quietly. "I have to go... tell the Elders."

"You do that." Prue said.

Leo orbed out, looking pained.

Prue looked at Piper, who was still sobbing.

"Screw destiny." Prue said and got up.

She went to the attic and slowly pushed the door open. She stared at the Book for a moment, then went over to it and picked it up.

After she had the Book, she stormed from the attic and out of the house. She threw the Book on the passenger seat of her car and got in. She drove in silence until she reached a small bridge.

Prue grabbed the Book then got out of the car and stepped onto the bridge.

"I won't let you ruin my life anymore." Prue said, then dropped the Book over the edge.

She watched it drop into the water and was a bit shocked to see the triquetra glow and seperate. As the Book sank, the glow faded and was eventually extinguished.
