Part 2

"Let me go!" Prue said half afraid, half angry.

"Ok, sure." With that, the warlock hurled her into the stairway, and grinned evilly when he saw the blood trickling from her forehead. While he was crossing over to her, the doorbell rung.

"Prue! Open the door." Andy's voice could be faintly heard in the hall.

"Look's like you're lucky this time witch. Next time, you won't be. And who knows, we might even get to have some fun" he said to a barely conscious Prue, running his hands through her hair. He then brought his mouth down to hers and kissed her harshly before blinking out.

"Prue, I'm letting myself in with the spare key." Andy yelled a couple of minutes later. He grabbed the key from under the pot plant and opened the door. Closing it behind him, he turned to see Prue slumped at the stairs, coming in and out of consciousness.

"What the hell! Prue, are you ok? What happened?" Andy asked worriedly.

"An…Andy?" Prue managed to get out dazedly.

Andy lifted Prue into his arms and carried her up the stairs and into her room before lying her down on the bed.

"Prue, you're soaked! And you're starting to burn up. Do you still keep the first aid kit in the bathroom?" Andy asked.

"Yeah." Prue said, her world coming back into focus slowly.

"Andy?" Prue asked as Andy sat down on the bed next to her.

"Yeah Prue?"

"What happened? And how did you get in? Why am I bleeding?" Prue asked confused.

"You don't remember?"

"No."

"I let myself in with the spare key. I walked in and I found you on the floor." Andy said. "I must have fallen." Prue said not remembering a thing about the warlock that had just attacked her.

"When are Piper and Phoebe getting home?" Andy asked softly as he got up and began pulling clothes out of Prue's wardrobe.

"They're out of town for the next two weeks. What are you doing?" Prue questioned shivering.

"You've got to get out of those wet clothes." He said pulling Prue up and unbuttoning her shirt.

"I can do it myself!" Prue said fumbling with the buttons. Her hands were shaking with cold.

"Obviously you can't. And it's not as if I've never undressed you before." He said gently, removing her clothes leaving her standing there completely naked. He grabbed a large fluffy towel out of the bathroom and started drying a now extremely shivering Prue. He then dressed her in a pair of sweatpants and a tank top, and tucked her into bed. His gaze fell onto her bedside table and on a picture of the two of them. It was the day they had gone to the park. They had spent the whole day talking and they had gotten some passers by to take the photo of them. 'Oh Prue. Why can't you just trust me? Tell me what the big secret is.' He turned back to look at Prue, only to find her fast asleep. 'God she looks beautiful'. He sat there looking at her sleep, and frowned when he saw her brow crease as she started to struggle.

"No… Phoebe watch out. He's shooting a fireball at you!"

"Piper, freeze him!"

'What the…she must be delirious…but how could someone throw a fireball at Phoebe? And how could Piper freeze them?' These were the thoughts running through Andy's head and he ducked as Prue's eye's fluttered open and a book went flying across the room.

'What the hell was that?!!'

"Andy… what are you doing here? Never mind… I'm probably dreaming anyway, so I might as well tell you this. I'm sorry Andy. I'm sorry that I can't tell you that Piper, Phoebe and I are witches, but it's too dangerous. It's hard for us to vanquish the warlocks and demons without getting hurt, but it'd be impossible for you. At least we have powers to protect ourselves with… I wish Phoebe had never gone into the attic and read from the damn book…I love you Andy." With that, Prue's eyes closed again and she fell back into a troubled sleep.

'She still loves me? Wait - witches…warlocks…demons? Powers? What book?'
