Piper, still in a coma, was dreaming.  She dreamt that she was in a long tunnel with a bright white light at the end.  Suddenly, the light at the end of the tunnel turned a sinister blood red.  A force was pulling her towards the foreboding light.  She tried as hard as she could to resist being drawn into it.  She was about to plummet into the redness of death…

            "Huh?  Where am I?" Piper jumped up in bed, disoriented.

            One of the doctors who was finishing up some tests ran over to her, "She's okay!" the doctor acknowledged.  He checked her heart moniter and breathing, quickly.  Then he explained where she was.

            "Where's my family… my baby?  Are they okay?" Piper questioned.

            "They're fine.  They are waiting outside, I have just sent someone to tell them that you are alright."

            After hearing the good news, Phoebe, Paige, and Leo who was holding Wyatt walked into Piper's room with tears of joy in their eyes.

            "My baby," Piper held out her arms with a smile on her face.

            Leo grinned and handed their son to her.  Then he leaned down and planted a kiss in her cheek.  Piper picked the hair out of her face and kissed him back.  The doctors, including the nurse with the clipboard left the room, also happy that they had saved a life.  The nurse walked out last though and stopped right outside the room.  She waited until the hallway cleared out and then smirked mischievously to her self.  She then planted a grim frown on her face and walked once again into the room.  As she entered, she looked down at her clipboard pretending to be looking at test results.

            Paige was the only one to notice the nurse enter with her frown.  Worried that maybe the doctors had overlooked something she worried, "Is everything okay?"

            "Actually, they're not," she replied solemnly.  By now everyone had been watching the nurse to see what she wanted, but hearing her say that something was wrong made them especially attentive.

            "Paige," the nurse started.  Slowly the frown turned upwards into an evil smirk, "I would orb that baby away right about… now!"  Her face twisted and turned as she morphed into a familiar figure, Prue.  She smirked yet again.

"What the?!" Phoebe screamed.  Paige was equally if not more, bewildered but knew what was about to happen

Relying on instinct she yelled, "Wyatt!" and held out her arms.  The baby orbed into his aunt's arms almost instantly.

Prue reared up, her throwing arm ready as another blue energy ball formed in her hand.

"Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!" Leo yelled as he jumped in front of Prue, trying to shield Piper.  But it was too late, the energy ball was already released.  Piper let out a small scream and then she was once again unconscious.  However this time the energy ball caused more damage.  Her left shoulder was severely injured and bleeding.

Prue stood there, eyes flashing red, ready to leave.  All of her sudden her face jerked and her eyes were once again the soft, caring brown they used to be.

 "You guys help!" she yelled, weakly. But before anyone could react, her eyes flashed red again and she flamed out from the hospital room.

Phoebe, scared to death, ran into the hall, "DOCTOR!  We NEED A DOCTOR!!!"  Luckily there was a doctor standing in the hallway, looking at some papers.

"Ms.  Halliwell, what happened?  Didn't she..." the doctor started. 

Phoebe cut him off "...wake up? Yes she did, but she is not up anymore."  The doctor was so stunned he couldn't move.

"Don't just stand their move!" Paige yelled through muffled tears as she stepped outside the doorway.
