A/N: I want to apologize!! This chapter is really short. It's barely two pages and I usually do about 3 or 4. I'm really sorry! I didn't even realize until now when I came to read it over. But to make up for it...I'll think of something! Lol. Maybe a sneak peak into one of my next fanfics or instead of just doing 12 chapters, I'll ad an epilogue or something to fill in some blanks and such.

Also, this is the last chapter I can post for 3 whole days!!! Don't give up on me! I will be able to post by Sunday night and I still have 10-12 plus a possible epilogue to do. Hehe. Okay, on with the thank you's:

HollyShadow, Since this chapter is so short, you won't find out who he is until chapter ten or eleven. I mean, something he says at the end gives it away, but his name isn't said until chapter 10 or 11.

psychokitty3, Suspense is the best! It keeps everyone on the edge of sanity!

DaRk AnGeL ThE idiot, Glad you likey!

Magical Princess, You reviewed just in time! I was just opening Microsoft Word to edit this chapter again before I post it. "Who is it?" will be revealed between now and chapter eleven. Although if you look up at what I told HollyShadow, something he says at the end of this chapter is a dead giveaway.

Okay. Last chapter I can post until Sunday night because I will be unavailable and without a computer! Wah! But like I said, DON'T GIVE UP ON ME! Be patient and sometime Sunday night or Monday, look for an Author Alert! In your e-mail or check out the latest updates on the main Charmed fics page. I shall not disappoint! Lol. Besides, I do have 3, possibly four more chapters to post. I would never not finish! [Double negatives...blah. Lol.] Hehe. Kay, read on!

"Hello, Sky," the person – a man with long curly hair to his shoulders and big, strong muscles, said. He grinned maliciously. "I thought I'd find you here."

"Get away!" Sky hissed, jumping off the couch and running in front of Piper. She now stood between the man and her mom. Her eyes were narrowed with hate.

The man chuckled. "Move away. You aren't the one I want. Well, you are, actually. But I'm not here just for you." He paused. "I knew I'd find you here. I should have known better than to let you overhear my plan. I was careless."

"Who is he?' Piper asked Sky, her body rigid and ready to attack.

"He's the Source of All Evil, from my time," Sky hissed. Her hatred for him was so strong that it seemed to be radiating off her body. "Get out of her and take the Black Raven with you."

"Such a stubborn little girl you are. You always were and always will be. No wonder I could never turn you as easily as Chris," the man said with a sigh.

"But you never really turned him!" Sky snapped in triumph.

The man grinned. "But I killed him," he replied calmly, as if killing a person was no big deal – and since this was the Source, it probably wasn't a big deal. "I'm not leaving without you and, though I might be the Source, I prefer not to harm you. I do need you for my plans to work. So come along, it'll be much easier if you go willingly," he added.

"Never!" Sky hissed, her energy building inside herself. She held back, waiting for the perfect moment.

"Now, now, just come along. I really don't feel like fighting you, you silly girl. As if you could defeat me, anyway." The man laughed, finding this very funny.

"Sky, who is he?" Piper demanded. She knew he was the Source, but she quickly realized Sky wasn't telling them something.

"No one, Piper," Sky replied sharply, hoping it would shut her up. Her eyes landed back on the man, who was grinning more than ever.

"I see. You came back to save your family. They know who you are, all except one of them. But you didn't just come back to save them. You came back to see them again. But, tell me, must you insist on calling her 'Piper'?" the man asked with a wicked grin. "Why can't you just call her 'mom'?"

Sky closed her eyes, feeling as if she had just swallowed an ice cube. Behind her, she could hear Leo gasping. She opened her eyes and narrowed them at the man.

"Is it, perhaps, that you know you'll fail and this is your last chance to see her before you go back into the future and become my slave once again?" the man asked.

"I hate you!" Sky shouted, finally letting her energy flow free. It flew at the man, ready to blow him to bits. But when it hit, he was perfectly fine. He brushed dust from his shirt.

"You'll have to do better than that," he said with a false frown.

Before anyone could react, the man had used telekinesis to bring Sky forward and to him. He smirked, gripping her arm so tightly, she winced in pain. He glanced around him at the others, knowing they'd be too afraid of hurting Sky to attack him.

"I really must be going now. Good-bye-"He looked directly at Piper, "-mother." He waited to see her stunned reaction before dragging a struggling Sky into the vortex.

The last sound they heard was Sky screaming for Piper. Then the vortex closed.
