'Errrrr… yes she will. Best we don't tell her, right guys' Phoebe hurriedly covered up. Piper and Paige

quickly agreed.

Piper turned to her sisters 'Okay, Paige, go and find your past self. We need her here to protect her.

Phoebe, take err…Phoebe and find Prue. She'll never believe or trust you otherwise. You know how

protective she is of us. I'll protect Piper and try to find some way of protecting us from the Warlock.

Paige and Phoebe nodded in agreement. Paige orbed out, leaving the Phoebes' to go and find Prue.

'Well now girls, time to go and whip up some protection spells' Grams cheerfully told the two Pipers,

and lead them downstairs. Upon reaching the kitchen, they crowded around the main table, wondering

where to begin.

'She's dead isn't she?' the younger Piper asked quietly.

'Who?' The older Piper asked, hoping she wasn't about to say Prue.

'Prue. I mean, the spell you said; it was the power of three, not four you said, and the way you always

take charge. The middle child is the peacekeeper, the eldest is the one in charge. So unless Prue is dead,

you would still be the peacekeeper, not the leader.'

'I can't tell you whether she is alive or dead. It may disrupt the time-line even more.' Piper gently told

her younger self. 'Now, we need a protection spell or potion or something. Any ideas Grams?' Piper

took control once more of the situation, reinforcing the idea that Prue dies into Pipers head.

'So we become Witches in the future then' the young Phoebe asked excitedly as the pair crossed the

large open park.

'Yeah. Pretty cool eh' the older Phoebe answered.

'Definitely. Over there. That's where I heard Prue and Andy say they were going.' The 11 year old

pointed to a clump of trees a few metres away.

The two of them lightly jogged over to the area she had pointed to, knowing that every minute counted

in the race against time to stop the Warlock.

'Prue,' the young Phoebe called out, 'Prue.'

With that, a 16 year old Prue appeared from behind the trees, closely followed by Andy.

'What?' She called out

'Grams needs you home now. Its really important' the 11 year old replied.

'Why, and who's the stranger you're with? How many times have I told you not to go off with

strangers Phoebe?' Prue asked angrily.

'Hey, I'll see you on Monday at school' Andy quietly told his date. He kissed her lightly then

wandered off home. Prue stormed over to the Phoebes'.

'Err Prue, your going to find this really hard to believe, but I'm your sister Phoebe, but from the

future.' The elder Phoebe hurriedly told Prue before she could tell off her past self anymore.

'It's true. Piper and our half sister Paige are also here from the future too. Don't worry, Grams accepted

them as legit.' Phoebe confirmed.

'Okay' Prue said, still a little puzzled, 'Why are you here then. Not for a social call I gather since you

had to ruin my date.'

'Your in danger, all of you are. That's why we are here.' The older Phoebe answered.

 Just as Phoebe had finished her last word, the Warlock from her premonition shimmered in behind her.

'What the hell…' Prue cried as she saw her first piece of recent magic.

The phoebes' spun around. 'Quick, get behind me, NOW' Phoebe commanded. They obeyed. 'Paige,

bring Piper, it's the Warlock' She then shouted into the air. With that, the familiar blue lights of

someone orbing in appeared. Piper instantly threw out her hands to blow him up. It glanced off him like

it was nothing. 'Phoebe, get them out of there now' She called back.

Phoebe grabbed them and got them running back towards the trees Prue had been earlier.

The warlock laughed as a Darklighters crossbow appeared in his hands. 'I could smell the Whitelighter

in you two a mile off.' He fired two arrows, one at each of them. Without seeing if they hit, he

shimmered out, still laughing an evil laugh.

Pipers was deflected by the baby's protection, but Paige wasn't so lucky. Hers hit her in her shoulder,

lodging there firmly.

'LEO, LEO' Piper shouted, rushing over to her half sisters side. 'Please Paige, be alright.' But

already knowing the answer.

'I'm sorry Piper, I should have reacted quicker.' She murmured, obviously in a great deal of pain.

'Can you orb us to the manor, I'm sorry, but it's the quickest way home.'

'Sure, it's okay.' The blue lights enveloped them. They reappeared with a thud in the kitchen, just as the

two Phoebes and Prue also entered.

'Oh my God Paige, what happened' Phoebe asked, dropping to her knees beside them.

'He had a Darklighter crossbow. The baby saved me, but Paige…'

The past selves could only watch from the back of the room, as the half sister they only just found out

about lay in agony as the poison worked its way through her system. Grams pushed her way to the

centre, where Paige lay, telekinetically pulled out the arrow, and then took her to the living room sofa.

'Thank you' Paige murmured.

'Now shhh, save your strength.' Grams gently bandaged Paige shoulder with a care that was rarely

shown to anyone else.

'LEO…LEO… Where are you Leo' Piper called. Waiting for the past Leo to come and save Paige. All

the sisters were getting worried. If Leo didn't come, Paige would die and their mission may fail…
