I walked into my room and lock the door and say out loud these words "To my ears be heard My fathers call like a bird Come soaring to me To whatever place I might be" I feel the spell work and I shimmer outside my mums house again and I look in. They are sitting at the table and are talking. I see Piper look up and I back up against the wall so as not to be seen. I peer around the corner and meet the face of Piper, I back up in shock and fall over a bush, damn why didn't I just shimmer. Too late Piper is outside and leaning over me.

I rub my elbow and say "Ow" out loud while I see other people coming out. I don't think Piper recognizes me thank god. But she is looking mightily angry. She softens though when she sees me frightened and says "And just what do you think you are doing staring into our house". I stand up shakily and shrug my shoulders and I look over hers and I see my mum the closest I have ever been to her. I feel the tears again and I mutter "You don't cry". I wipe the lone tear the comes out and I make myself harden to whatever is to come and I stare at Piper's shocked face, damn I think she heard me.

She looks over the panamas I had put on in case I had to shimmer into bed and she looks like she decided something and she offers me her hand and says "Come on lets get you some hot chocolate and you can tell us about it." I looked shocked and then I realize that I don't know what to do, Go or don't. I take her hand and look at my mum who has stayed silent throughout this. We walk into their house and my god it is huge on the inside. We go into a kitchen and they sit me at a table and my mum sits across from me and says "Hi I'm Phoebe and that at the stove is Piper, next to you is Paige and next to her is Leo and that (points to the high chair) cute little man there is Wyatt."

I smile and say "hi" Since when am I shy. I look down and then realize they are waiting for my name, I can't lie to my mum can I? Isn't that like some sin or something? So I say "I'm Prue" I know without looking up that pain would have flashed in their eyes. Piper places a mug in front of me and I mumble "Ta" and I take a sip. MMMM yum this is even better then my dads and I say that to her. I then realize what I said and I put my hand over my mouth. Piper smiles and says "So dad hey so where about is he? I don't want to lie so I tell the truth well sort of "In a meeting". Piper again smiles and says "Ok then where is your mum". I blush and say "Dad told me she died". See I didn't lie I just told a part of it. All of them say "Oh" and I so want to tell them but what would I do.

I hear in my head the sound of birds and my head shoots up, everyone looks at me. Phoebe says "What" I look at her and say "My dad oh my good he is going to go postal when he sees my room empty (I hear the birds are louder and I know he is in my room) Uh Oh too late". All of them look confused and I bet they are even more confused when I say "Nice meeting you guys see ya" I hear a protest but I have already shimmered into my bathroom. I flush the toilet and walk out and see my dad whirl around "How did you get there" I give him my bleary eyes "huh". He sighs and says "Come on lets tuck you in Prue". I run into his open arms and he puts me into bed and kisses me on the head and then sings me the lullaby he told me mum sang to me when I was in her womb. I pretend to fall asleep and I hear him walk out.
