A/N: Thanks for the reviews. Reviews motivate me. ;)

A/N: Some of you may not like my direction of where I'm taking this story. I'm not sure I can make a hopeless story hopeful... But we'll see. Remarks, suggestions etc. will be helpful.

Anonymous: I'm shocked. You are missing some things though not clever enough!? Hap, I'll believe that when pigs' fly, wait scratch that I'll believe it when Kt is not Kt. I'll give you a couple of hints Cole *might* not need motives, Cole's not at all that powerful and *Chapter 5.* Oh and that darn Kt statement of liking to skate has to do with Avril L. (singer, so I heard) which neither Kt or I like but she does it to make me go ARGH. Anyhoo in English she does it to bug me Kt style. Oh that Kt.

To Certain Reader: Fine! I give up!!! Avis is a guy to YOU. To the other sane people and I (for I'm not sane) Avis is a GIRL. I had to say this so you quit changing Avis's sex. You sick mother trucker you. Pah and you LOVE AVRIL (or April in English if you want to get technical)!!! "I like to skate!" Translation "I love to Avril." Oh yeah true story. *I feel a bitching from certain reader coming*

A/N: I've been avoiding doing the characters of Phoebe and Paige for a while because I don't really know how Phoebe would react to such a loss. To think of it she never really mourned over Prue's death. For Paige well at least I could revert to A Paige from the Past. So if I screw up bare with me.

Summary:

Phoebe and Cole hate each other. Piper was set up by the Elders and Cole to go and vanquish Raum (Cole's half brother). Raum ended up killing her. Paige and Phoebe where there to witness the entire heartbreaking act. Raum ends up dead and his partner Damaris ends up change by the light of Piper's soul, despite Raum's warnings.

Suddenly two birds pop in and save Piper's soul and disappeared with her. The Birds turn out to be Avis and Raven. We find out later on that Avis was sent there by Prue to save her sisters. The Elders think Piper is dead thanks to a spell Prue and the Prophet made. Unfortunately Leo dies thinking that he's going to see Piper... which we know he'll won't. Then Damaris pops back in the picture right in front of the Manor...

Raining Outside of the Manor Damaris stands timidly.

"Little voice in my head where have you gone?"

'...' Tiredly Damaris looks at the manor door, she feels a familiar strong presence not sure if she wants to investigate.

"Look voice I don't know why I'm here. I also can't figure out how you manage to make me come here standing in the rain no less."

'...'

"Stupid voice not like I want to talk to you anyway." Damaris is about to walk away from the manor when the voice says something barely audible.

"What," Damaris replies soaking wet.

'Knock,' the voice echoes lightly.

"Knock? Oh you mean knock on the door?"

'...'

"You know your really starting to irritate me with you rudeness." Damaris turns back and knocks impatiently on the door.

Paige's Bedroom

'She promised me. I told her not to go. I even told Phoebe about my bad feelings. That got me no where. I should have gone, why did I listen to her.' Paige's mind screams at herself. From the time of Piper's death Paige has really been the only one to mourn. Phoebe on the other hand is still in denial.

'I should have done something, maybe if I were stubborn more she'll be here right now...'

At this point memories of that horrible day flood Paige's mind. All of them were coming at once with the force of a Tsunami.

The first dreadful memory was that of Piper being stab repeatedly, then Raum slicing her neck. Not handling that well Paige clutches at her head in a futile attempt to stop more bad memories to come in.

"I vowed I tried to run to you Piper I never gave up trying. Just to fuckin' coils got in my way they prevented me. I tried so heard," Paige whispers.

Suddenly another memory hits that of Raum carelessly throwing Pipers body and spitting on her face. Then slowly walking over to Paige and licking the blood of his blade while looking her in the eye.

"I swear Piper if it weren't for those coils or those birds I would of killed him myself for what he did. I wouldn't of been as generous as the birds were, I would've made that bastard and his Bitch hurt," Paige breathing staggers a bit.

'Quit touching her! You bastards leave her alone,' Paige said to herself replaying this old recollection out loud. Before she could go any further thunder strikes and she stops herself.

"Fuckin' memories leave me alone. Damn it Piper why did you leave me! Answer me," Paige growls angrily.

She trembles as her tears fall rapidly. "Piper," she pleads like a little child "why did you leave me like this. I told you I wasn't ready for another loss! I told you and you said don't worry everything's going to be fine."

"I never ask for much all I did was prove to you that I'm worthy of being a damn Charmed one that... I'm worthy of being your sister, your equal." Paige hyperventilates losing all of her control she whispers, "I'm sorry, Piper."

" I love you, please for give me, I need to forget," Paige rambles as she desperately tries to stop her trembling just enough as she makes her way to the kitchen to find her self a drink.

The Sunroom

Every since that horrendous day Phoebe has been consumed over finding the meaning of the birds. Phoebe has kept memories of Piper and her death away. Doing everything in her power to not think about her sister, her believer.

'The Birds what is the meaning of the birds?!,' Phoebe minds angrily as she types on her keyboard. Sitting in back of a pile of mythology books, some opened others discarded. Typing some more Phoebe looks at the Book of Shadows, not believing the book had nothing to offer on birds.

On her lab top screen appears a photograph of the raven along with the caption, The sacred bird of the Norse god Odin.

'Those damn Birds. I'm not receiving the information I want.' Phoebe stops and looks up at the ceiling. Just staring as her thoughts turn to the word information, who else does she usually get info from non other than than Leo.

Knocking at the door interrupts her thoughts. Getting up she heads to source of rapping. Before opening the door Phoebe asks "Leo where the hell are you?"

***

'Up there'

"Leo?" Prue looks at him sadly. "They killed you too huh?"

"Prue where's Piper?" Leo ignoring Prue's statement not wanting to think of the blasted Elders.

"Piper's safe Leo, she's alive," Prue smiles.

"Alive," asked Leo in utter disbelief. "How is that possible? Is she with Phoebe and Paige?"

"Leo they don't know yet. Piper is going to be fine I have Av- some of my magical friends looking after her. Don't worry Leo the Elders will pay. I guarantee that."

"Do the elders know about her?"

"Oh God no, since when have they known much of anything?" Leo smiles glad that Piper's alive and that the elders have to faith the wrath that is Piper in the near future.

Then Leo realizes something. He's really dead, not a whitelighter anymore. "Prue... I'm worried about Piper. I hate to think how she'll react to the news that I'm dead."

"Piper simply won't know until she's ready. My friends know what to do; they swore their life on it," Prue grins having the ultimate faith in Piper. If things go as planed, the elders will be prohibited.

Leo still doesn't smile anymore.

"Don't worry so much Leo after all I'm still Piper's protector even in death. All my sisters are safe and everything will be ok. I will not except otherwise."

"Thanks Prue do you think I could help too?" Leo beams with renewed hope.

"Of course."
