A/N: Oh no!! We're back!! BWAHAHAHA!!! Thanx to PaulaS, Ingrid (nice
review, LOL), piper, and valkyriepiper for reviewing the last chapter!
You're all still there!

Okay, sorry it took so long, but here's the difficulty: We've have been so amazingly busy we haven't had time to breath, let alone write. I managed to
write my chapter, but I can't control the others. Mandie has a bunch of crap going on, so it's up to her when she writes next. Don't kill me! I'm
just the messenger!!!

So, you have no guarantee on when the next chapter will be up. But hopefully it won't be too long. Until then.enjoy this one! It's mine, from
Phoebe's POV. Thanks again!!

As Mom and Grams focused on comforting Paige, I watched Piper slip from the living room. I thought maybe she had just gone to get a drink or something, but when she hadn't come back after almost ten minutes, I decided to go looking for her.

"I.uh.have to pee," I told Mom, Grams, and Paige, and walked up the steps. Approaching Piper's room, I noticed that her door was open. Strange, she usually keeps it closed when she's in there, I thought. As I got closer, things got even stranger: a male voice floated through the open doorway.

".well, neither does evil."

I poked my head in the door and gasped as I saw the same man from before-the one who had called himself the Source of all evil- standing just inside Piper's room.

"What do you want?" she asked, her voice sounding braver than mine would have. What do I do? I thought frantically. My power was.premonition. Okay, how do I use that against the Source of all evil? What, am I going to see him to death? I realized that I couldn't do anything. I couldn't yell for help, because then he would know that I was here, and he might hurt Piper. I concentrated on his voice as he continued to talk.

"I want to make a deal," the man said. "I figured, since you're the oldest, you'd be the one to talk to. Your sisters would probably be too scared. Since it's obvious that you are too, I'll make it nice and simple." When Piper said nothing, he continued. "For the last few weeks, myself and three of my associates have been watching you. We knew exactly when you got your powers. Any of the four of us could kill you and your sisters in the blink of an eye."

The doorbell rang downstairs, and I whirled around, heart pumping. I saw Paige coming up the steps. "It's for." she started. I held my finger up to my lips and motioned her forward. She looked confused, but crept up behind me, and the two of us continued to listen.

"Leave them alone," Piper said, an anger I had never before heard from her leaking into her voice.

"I'll leave you all alone," the Source said. "Just give me your powers."

"How?" Piper asked.

"In the book that Phoebe told you about, there is a spell to relinquish your powers. You and your sisters bring a copy of the spell to the alley near Quake. I'll be waiting to give you further instructions."

"Piper, Leo's here!" Grams called up the stairs. With a flash of flame, the Source was gone. Paige and I stepped into the room, staring at Piper with wide eyes.

"What do we do now?" Paige asked nervously.

"I have no idea," Piper replied.
