Author's Notes: I know you all hate me… I am SO sorry! I was actually deleting some files on my computer, and I found this… I can't believe I didn't update sooner… it was ¾ done and everything… so sorry! I promise that I will have the next chapter up VERY soon…I will even work on it tonight. BTW: There is probably only going to be around 2 to 3 chapters… big battle though… so get ready and here is the chapter! Again, I APOLIGIZE deeply to all my readers… VERY sorry! There, twice! 

*** Teaser: (With a little extra added in)

Phoebe and Paige hurriedly grabbed their coats, and left the manor, slamming the door to make sure it locked. Phoebe quickly walked around to the driver's side of the car, and opened the door. She put the keys in the ignition, and then started the car. Paige got into the passenger seat and put her seatbelt on. As Phoebe was pulling away, she reached for her seatbelt, and strapped it across her body. She drove slowly down the streets, searching for Piper. Paige concentrated in the driver's seat to somehow sense Piper, but it was no use.                                               

Paige threw her hands up in frustration, "I can't believe this! That jerk is going to pay! We are going to vanquish him right?? I know Leo's life could be in danger too, but we have to do something!"                                              

Phoebe nodded her head, and said through clenched teeth, "Oh, he will pay…he will. I don't know what we are going to do about Leo, but that stupid son of a – "                                                             

Cole shimmered into the back seat and Phoebe swerved the car, "What the hell Cole? If you ever do that again, I swear – "

Cole motioned for Phoebe to be quiet and angrily said, "You are mad at me for trying to help you? Well then," and he began to shimmer out.

Phoebe stopped him, "Cole, please wait. I need your help. Please…She might be lying in the cold somewhere. I don't think I could stand it if I lost another sister."

"Did you tell Leo yet?"

Phoebe looked at Cole through the rearview mirror, "And tell him what, exactly?" She pushed her foot unknowingly against the gas pedal, and the car picked up speed.

Cole shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, but dammit Phoebe, you have to tell him."

Phoebe swerved again as tears sprang to her eyes. "He knows, Cole. He knows. What he doesn't know is that I am planning to kill this damn bastard whether or not Leo could die – again. The Dark Angel needs to die, and now!"

Paige continued to look at the conversationalists with raised eyebrows, "Okay. Any time you two-year-olds want to finish this…"

And then they passed someone lying in the grass on the side of the road.

Paige's hand flew to her lips, "Oh, my – "

Phoebe's eyes went wide with shock, "Piper! That's Piper!"

She immediately pulled the car over, and slammed on the brakes. Cole and Paige continued to move forward from the sudden stop. Cole slammed into the seat in front of him, and hit his head, hard. He put his hand up to his forehead, and climbed out of the car right behind Phoebe.

Phoebe was the first to get to Piper, and realized that she was in bad shape. She had multiple cuts on her arms, and she was half-naked.

Phoebe gasped and wrapped Piper up in her own jacket to keep her warm. She looked towards the sky and whispered, "I am so sorry, Leo, but this damn bastard is going to pay…"

Phoebe looked behind her, looking into Paige's concerned eyes. "Here, let's carry her to the car, and then you can orb her to the manor, okay?" Paige nodded her head in agreement, "Yeah… how long do you think she's been here, Piper?" Piper shook her head as tears began to fall down her face, "I don't know, but I do know she is in bad shape."

Cole cleared his throat, "Paige, why don't you orb Phoebe and Piper with you, and I will drive the car to the manor?" Paige nodded her head, and in the shadow of the car, orbed Phoebe and Piper to the manor.

Leo paced anxiously around the room, waiting for the girls to get home. "Dammit! C'mon, already!" Just then, Paige orbed in with Piper in her arms, and Phoebe clinging to her wrist. "Leo!"

Leo briskly walked over to Paige, and took Piper from her, setting her down on the sofa. He laid his hands over her, and about 4 minutes later, Piper's eyes fluttered open, her physical wounds healed. The minute she saw Leo, her eyes filled with tears, and she cried out 'Oh, God, NO!'

Leo began to cry, feeling helpless, and tears spotted Piper's already dirty clothes. As soon as Piper realized where she was, she put her hands to her face, and just cried as her sisters gathered around the couch, trying to comfort her.

Author's Notes: I'm sorry if you hate me, but I will get the next chapter up soon! It will probably be the beginning of the big battle… woo-hoo! And if anyone has read my other stories, I will definitely work on those and get those going. Also, CharmedWriter, I SWEAR I will eventually read your stories, but school SUX right now, and I don't have that much free time. So, I will eventually read them… lol! Thanks for everyone's patience! And please remember to review, and tell me what you want for the ending chapters…. I could definitely incorporate your suggestions into my story! Thanks!
