Prue sat up with the sharp inhalation of breath.

Piper and Paige jumped. "God, Prue. Don't scare us like that. Did you have any luck?" Asked Piper, a mild look of concern on her face.

"No time to explain. Paige orb us to where Phoebe is, now!" Prue said frantically. Paige shrugged and orbed them all out.

They reappeared in a cloud of orbs at the scene of the murder. Prue ran to the woman's side and felt for a pulse. "Damn it! I was so close to saving her. I can't believe Phoebe actually did it. I just can't believe it."

"What happened here Prue?" Piper asked quietly, blanching slightly at the sight of the dead woman's wound.

"When I arrived Phoebe was about to do something to this woman, I had to fight off Cole as well. He threw a fireball at me, and… well. My Astral form went back to my body. She must have killed her when I was sent back." Prue's voice was tinged with grief and shock.

Piper walked over and picked up the athame, trying to avoid the sticky crimson blood that now coated it. Almost immediately she was thrown into a premonition.

*** Phoebe and Cole… Killing more witches… Cole killing Paige ***

"Oh god, Paige. I just saw… I just saw…" Her voice choked up and she looked at the dead woman.

"What Piper? What is it?" Paige asked, looking worried.

"Cole was killing you. I don't know where or when, but oh god. He was killing you Paige."

Prue stood defiantly and sniffed. "Not if I can help it. I've had more than enough of him. He's already taken one of my sisters and I'll be damned if he gets another one."

"I also saw them killing more innocents. It was a place by Swansen Lake, there's a coven there. We should get the binding potions and then go there as soon as possible." Paige nodded and took them back to The Manor.

Phoebe paced restlessly around her new home. The power buzz hadn't left her yet, nor had the anger and need to hurt Prue. She gave a small yell of frustration and narrowed her eyes at a potted plant. Two orange beams shot out and blew up the pot. Soil and a slightly singed plant fell onto the floor.

Cole strode in at the sound of pot being destroyed, a fireball held at the ready. His eyes caught of the sight of the broken plant and he snuffed it out. "What's wrong, Phoebe? Why did you vanquish the plant? If it was demonic I could have always returned it."

She rubbed her head and sighed. "I just feel so restless, so edgy. I want…"

"To have the feeling of a fresh kill." Cole finished for her. He slowly pulled an athame out of his belt and held it questioningly to her.

She stared at it, uncertainty on her face. The image of Prue blazed in her mind and she scowled. Her hand shot out and took the blade. Cole shimmered them out.

Piper threw the final herbs into the saucepan and stood back from the cloud of purple smoke which suddenly began to billow out. "Potions done."

Paige took some small glass bottles and filled them up. She tossed a couple of Piper and Prue. "Remember, we throw the potion and *then* say the spell. Ok?"

Her sisters nodded. "Speaking of spells… how is it coming along?" Asked Piper.

Paige waved a slip of paper in front of them, before slipping it into a small bad with her potions. "Are we ready?" They nodded and Paige orbed them out.

"There's a small coven that meets around here. A couple of magical witches lead them, they should be our only threat." Said Cole, as he scanned the area for the whereabouts of the coven.

"Look! Over there, by that podium." Phoebe pointed to a small group of people, sitting in a circle around a faint fire. She started forwards, but was stopped by Cole.

"Wait, we can't just go charging in there. Wait till the time is right." He cautioned her.

Phoebe sighed and kicked the ground. She wanted, no, she *needed* to feel buzz of power again. To have someone so helpless at her mercy. To prevent Prue from being the super witch who never lost an innocent.

Cole moved forwards and beckoned her to follow. He slunk forwards, dodging from bush to bush, finally stopping behind a tree. "Go ahead, Phoebe."

She walked forwards slightly and then narrowed her eyes. The orange beams shot out and sliced through the air. They struck a witch in the back. She fell forwards, a large wound smoking between her shoulder blades. The other members of the coven screamed and began to scatter. Phoebe narrowed her eyes and shot more beams at them. Three more fell, near fatal burns blistering on their skin. A man and a woman stood up and ran at Phoebe, shouting something out. She didn't listen, instead aimed a blast at their feet. The earth furrowed and burnt and the couple were knocked over. The man held out his hand and a dark blue circle appeared in the air in front of them. Her next eye blast hit the shield and reflected off, setting a nearby tree on fire.

She growled with annoyance and shot another beam. It missed completely. "Don't try to fight me, it'll only make it worse." She said.

The couple still didn't speak, instead the woman held out her hand and shot a stream of ice. It hit Phoebe in the leg. She screamed in pain and started to shoot random beams out her eyes. Cole was still standing in the background, silently watching Phoebe. This would be a good test of her abilities, he thought.

On the other side of the fire a large cluster of light appeared and formed into Prue, Piper and Paige. They saw Phoebe attacking the man and woman and started to run over. Piper froze a couple of the beams and Prue knocked them back.

"Paige, get these people out of here!" Shouted Prue, as she stood protectively in front of Piper.

Paige orbed over to the couple and was about to orb them out, when she began to cry out. "Ahh, What the hell? Help me!" She fell backwards onto her back, arms and legs rigid. Phoebe was standing with her arm stretched out at Paige.

Cole sprinted forwards and grabbed Paige, and then he turned to Phoebe. "Come on! Lets go, leave them for now." Phoebe looked confused but took his arm anyway. All three shimmered out.

"Whoa! Prue! They stole Paige!" Piper shrieked, waving her arms at the spot Paige had just occupied.

Prue ran over and kicked the ground furiously. "I swear I'll kill him if anything happens to Paige. No, I'll kill him however this turns out."
