Sky stood in the living room, examining the photos lined up on the shelves. She didn't even hear the sisters come into the room. When she turned to go over to another set of shelves, she saw them.

"Don't sneak up on me like that!" Sky huffed, holding a hand over her pounding heart.

"Sorry we scared you," Piper said, smiling. "We – or, rather – I want to apologize for the way I behaved. It's just been a crazy couple of days. And when you came today, well, I just got a little . . . crazed, I guess. Forgive me?"

Sky eyed her, but then shrugged and nodded. "I guess."

"Here, have some water." Piper held out a glass of ice water for her.

Sky stepped forward, hand reaching out for the water. She eyed it and drew back. "I'm not thirsty. Thanks anyway."

"Are you sure?" Piper asked, frowning. "You seemed really thirsty before and I'm not sure where your other glass went to."

"I'm sure," Sky said, nodding.

Piper glanced at her sisters, who just stared back at her, expressions neutral.

Sky eyed them suspiciously, moving to the couch and sitting.

"Are you sure you aren't thirsty?" Prue asked, edging closer.

"I'm not thirsty and if you keep asking if I am, than I'm gonna take a stab at it and say you're trying to poison me or something," Sky replied sharply.

Phoebe laughed. "Poison you? Why would we want to poison you?"

Sky shrugged. "That's what I'd like to know." She eyed the glass of water with unease.

"Don't be ridiculous. Do we look like we'd poison someone?" Prue asked, frowning. But her light blue-gray eyes betrayed her; she looked anxious and nervous.

"No," Sky replied, "but you don't look all that innocent either."

"If only she knew," Piper muttered to her sisters, but Sky heard and narrowed her eyes in confusion.

"Plan B?" Piper asked her sister's, who nodded.

"Plan B?" Sky asked, putting her guard up and giving them a wary look.

Piper flicked her hands, freezing the room and Sky. She wondered why it hadn't worked last time, but had this time. She shrugged it off, however. She, Prue, and Phoebe inched forward until they were a foot or two away from Sky.

"Go ahead, Phoebe," Prue said, watching anxiously.

Phoebe moved her hand out towards Sky's arm, preparing herself for whatever vision she would get. Her hand was inches from Sky's hand when the girl moved, her hands going out and down and her legs bending so she ducked.

"Wha-" Piper began, but she realized that the whole room had unfrozen. The grandfather cloak ticked softly, the hardwood floor beneath them creaked. Why hadn't her freeze lasted longer? She wondered if her emotions were making her power go wacky, then realized that Sky would wonder how they had suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Piper, what happened?" Prue muttered out of the corner of her mouth.

Piper shrugged helplessly, turning to see the stunned look on Sky's face. She had absolutely no idea how they were going to explain this to her. Phoebe sensed Piper's concern and stepped up beside her sister. She took Piper's hand and opened her mouth to speak when the vision hit. Her mouth dropped open, her brows furrowed. She snapped her mouth shut, a look of pain etched on her face. The vision ended as quickly as it had come. She dropped Piper's hand, shaking.

Phoebe motioned for her sisters to follow and led them to the kitchen. She leaned against the counter for support. Piper and Prue stared at her, waiting impatiently and looking concerned.

"I saw . . . Piper. The Black Raven attacked her again. But someone saved her again. I think it might be the same girl from my vision earlier. I can't be positive because it was dark and foggy."

"I wish we could find this mystery girl from your visions, see what she knows about the Black Raven and how she knows when he's going to attack," Prue said, sighing.

Piper nodded. "But we have bigger problems right now. How do we explain to Sky how we suddenly appeared in front of her?"

"Well," Phoebe licked her lips and shrugged. "Tell her she blacked out for a second and we ran forward to check on her?"

"I don't know. Maybe I should just drive her to the gas station so she can wait for her car. It's not safe, having her here, and we can't keep hiding who we are much longer. She's seen too much already; the Book, the Black Raven attacking, me freezing the room, and Phoebe getting a vision," Piper replied.

"I think she's safer here than anywhere else," Phoebe replied softly.

"What do you mean?" Prue asked, frowning.

"Don't either of you get the feeling that she's not being honest with us? She isn't old enough to drive. I don't think her car broke down," Phoebe said.

"What do you think, then?" Piper asked.

Phoebe sighed. "I think she's a runaway. It's the only explanation. Don't you see how thin she is? It's like she hasn't eaten in weeks. Plus there's the fact that she doesn't seem to want to leave."

Piper thought this over a moment, then nodded. "And she doesn't really like to be touched. Maybe she was being beaten and that's why she ran."

"So we let her stay here," Prue said, sighing. "We can't throw her out when she might not have anywhere but the streets to stay."

Piper and Phoebe nodded in agreement.

"Let's go check on her, make sure she hasn't run off. I'm sure she got scared when we did our little appearing trick," Phoebe said, laughing a little.

She headed back for the living room, Piper and Prue following close behind. She paused. "Oh, and maybe we should dump the truth potion, before someone drinks it by accident."

Piper nodded. She hadn't even realized she still had it in her hands. She went to the kitchen and dumped it before following her sisters back to the living room, where Sky was now sitting on the couch. She looked up when she heard them coming and jumped up from the couch, backing away, a wary expression on her face.

"Are you feeling better?" Piper asked. "You scared us when you blacked out before."

"I-what?" Sky asked, frowning.

"You went rigid and blacked out for a second. That's how we suddenly were standing in front of you. We ran over to see if you were okay," Prue explained.

"Oh," Sky muttered, not seeming too convinced. She opened her mouth to say something, than shut it, eyes wide.

"What is it?" Piper asked, alarmed.

Sky pointed a shaky finger at something behind them.

The sisters turned and gasped. Behind them, a man dressed in a black suit stood. His hair was slicked back in a low ponytail. A scar ran along his face and he grinned at them. He held his hand down and out, palm up. In a wisp of smoke, a crossbow with an arrow in it appeared in his hand.

Prue, Piper, and Phoebe gasped. A Darklighter!

"What's a Darklighter doing here? Leo's off in god-knows-where," Piper said in a sharp whisper. "And the poison won't affect us."

The Darklighter smirked at them, hearing this. "Not you. Her." He didn't give the sisters a chance to understand what he had said. He took aim and released the arrow. It flew across the room and pierced Sky's stomach, making her eyes widen and a sharp gasp escape her half open mouth.
