Leo held his hands over Tara as he healed the many injuries she had gotten from the fall, when he was done; she opened her eyes and sat up slowly. Leo glanced at the ceiling and was about to speak when Tara cut him off.

"No, Leo you can't go up there. Not after everything I've learned," Tara then proceeded to fill everyone in on where she had been and what she had been told. "This is going to be our toughest fight; everything we've faced means nothing when it comes to this battle. All bets are off; the elders\powers will stop at nothing to win."

Everyone looked at Leo, as Tara turned to him. "Leo we need to know where your loyalties lie, I hate making you choose but it has to be done. You're either with us or against us."

Leo looked over the faces of his family and those he considered family, his answer was already decided. "You know they will clip my wings, you won't have an in house healer anymore."

"That's not true," Paige said standing up, "I was gonna wait until everything was normal again or as close to normal as it would get but I can heal now."

Everyone started talking at once, asking Paige questions, while Tara ran her hands over the Book of Shadows, when an intense premonition hit her. She saw the Seer taking the throne of the Source and then killing her family. When she came out of the premonition everyone was looking at her.

"I saw the Seer becoming the new Source and then killing us all."

Piper's eye's narrowed and Buffy just slid on to a chair and started to laugh, Xander looked at everyone. "Man don't we have enough to do with out having to vanquish a new source every day."

The others started laughing to till they were all holding their stomachs, Cole was the first one to stop laughing and catch his breath. "Guys this is really serious if the Seer becomes the new Source, it could almost be impossible to stop her."

Tara sighed. "Well we are gonna have to deal with her before we can deal with the Elders. But first I think we all could use a day off," Tara smiled wide, "as the newest member of the Warren family I declare this a witch free day. So we can do whatever we want to."

Piper sat in her and Leo's bedroom and ran her hands over her still flat stomach and thought about the battles that were coming, and the secret she hadn't shared with her family. How was she supposed to protect this innocent life inside of her when they had to fight the things that they fought everyday.

Leo stood in the sun room and looked out the window to the bright blue sky that barely had any clouds and thought about the last sixty years and all the good he had done. He thought about all that Tara had told him and the others. His decision had been firm if he had to choose between his family and the elders it would be his family every time, but it had been difficult to resist the pull and call of the elders, he sank into a chair and put his head in his hands and thought of the coming battles.

Cole paced the yard, while keeping an eye on a laughing Phoebe who was talking to Xander and Buffy, he couldn't help them, how could he. He didn't have any powers he was no longer a demon, just a mortal man. He looked at Xander and wondered how he did it, how he could be engaged to the longest lived Vampire Slayer, and not be crazy with worry and scared she might not come back to him. Phoebe smiled at him and he went over and sat with them and listened with one ear as Phoebe and Buffy discussed Buffy's upcoming wedding.

Xander made the right noises when a comment was required but he was lost deep in thought about how he could keep Buffy safe, even knowing that wasn't a possibility how he could help her call back the essence of the Slayer.

Buffy smiled on the outside but on the inside she was consumed with worry, she still wasn't able to call the essence of the slayer back to her, she wouldn't be able to fight without her slayer powers, and if they didn't come back soon she would have to ask the others for help.

Paige stood in the attic staring at the people on the blanket when she felt the urge to capture all of them, herself and her mother and Prue Included. She would set the painting in the forest all of them in a circle around a roaring fire, she smiled and started to work.

Willow and Tara went for a walk through Golden Gate Park and talked of their future and where they wanted it to go. Both were worried about the coming battles but nether feared it, they had faced a lot with their time on the Hellmouth, defeating the Seer was just another typical day in their life's

The Seer stood before the dark council, which was made up of ten upper level demons. The council was talking quietly amongst themselves, the demon in the center cleared his throat. "Seer you come before us and demand to be the new Source so will shall put the same challenge to you that we have to the others. Bring us the powers of the Charmed Ones and the Warren Witch and you shall be made the New Source."

The Seer was fuming on the inside, how could these idiots not see that she perfect as the new Source, but she simple smiled. "It will be done, but to do this I will require a great deal more power than I possess."

The council nodded and spoke as one. "We shall give you a power increase."

The Seer smiled, and thought soon; very soon I shall be the new Source.

It was later in the evening when the whole group was back together at the Manor talking to each other about their day. Buffy waited for a while until everyone had finished talking. Then she stood and started pacing. "I have a problem everyone, Mrs. McClay told me I should be able to call the essence of the slayer back when I needed it but so far I can't seem to get it back."

Piper looked at Leo for an answer. "Leo do you know anything about this?"

Leo shook his head. "No, for once this is out of my area, I know very little about the Slayer accept for what most know."

Cole smiled. "I remember a Slayer, her name was Samantha Cane, even the Source feared her, she not only killed vampires but many of the Source's most feared demons. I ran across her once and barely made it away, for some reason she let me live."

Phoebe smiled and snuggled closer to Cole. "Maybe there's something in the Book of Shadow's."

Paige called for it and it appeared in her hands. "Okay Gram's this is when we could use a little bit of help here."

The pages started flipping as if an invisible hand was turning them when they stopped, Paige leaned over and read. "Into every generation one girl is born with the strength and skill to kill the Vampire's and demons, to stop the swell of their numbers, the spread of their evil. She is the Slayer and their can only be one, when one slayer die's another is called," Paige turned the page and continued reading. "If the essence of the Slayer is lost as it once was by Lucy Hanover due to a spell. it is no simple matter to retrieve it, the Slayer in question must go on a quest to find the true essence of her power and only then can she retrieve that which is hers."

Willow looked at the group. "Is that all it says?"

Paige shook her head. "There's a spell to send the Slayer to where her quest would start, she would need an Anchor in this world and one to go with her to be a guide."

Piper nodded her head. "Okay so who is gonna be the anchor and who is gonna be the guide."

Just then a voice said. "No one." and an energy ball struck Piper throwing her back and knocking her out. The others turned to see the Seer standing their an evil smile on her face. Phoebe jumped into the air and levitated there as she called on the electricity. The Seer flicked her hands and smiled as Phoebe was thrown into the Grandfather clock, Cole raced over to Phoebe, who Leo was trying to heal but couldn't, he was now mortal. Willow's eyes went black as she floated off the ground, she uttered a word and a barrier formed between them and the Seer, Willow looked over her shoulder at Paige. "Heal them hurry," to Tara she said, "find a spell to get rid of her."

Tara grabbed up the Book of Shadows but in her haste grabbed her Cousins book and not hers as she started flipping through it, she found the spell and glanced at Willow who was breaking out in sweat from straining to hold the barrier up, she glanced at her cousins and saw Paige healing Piper. She looked at the Seer and started reciting the spell. "Evil Seer in my sight vanquish thyself, vanquish thy might in this day and night."

As she finished the spell she looked at the Seer but nothing happened, she glanced at the book and realized her mistake, grabbed up her book but the Seer smiled and with one final energy ball smashed through the barrier and threw Willow into a wall, and glided up to Tara, who glanced at her and then kicked the book over towards who Cousins who were standing now, the Seer raised her hands and smiled as she formed an energy ball in her hands. Piper stepped forward and threw her hands up and froze the room. Paige and Phoebe stepped up ready to read the vanquish spell when Piper held up a hand. "Wait I want her to feel this."

She unfroze the Seers head, the Seer glared at them all as the Charmed Ones read the spell. "Evil Seer in my sight vanquish thyself, vanquish thy might in this day and night."

The Seer screamed as her body burst into fire and slowly faded away. The others stood looking at the spot, when Cole revealed something he thought he never would with two words. "Goodbye Mother."
