A/N: Princess Pinky: Did I really goof or maybe I just didn't elaborate enough, read on, to see how Phoebe had that vision. I guess that is what I get when I try to write in the middle of the night! son gomay vidal goku: I think you will understand why Prue is bleeding after you read this next chapter. Damaris: thanks so much for taking the time to comment! To all of you who are getting annoyed with my continued angst, I promise you will get what you are hoping for real soon. Hint: the last chapter will be titled "A Wedding to Remember"

"Prudence Warren must be you from a past life," Phoebe explained looking at the welts on her sister's back, "somehow your souls and physical beings are connected. That's why you can feel her pain"

Yeah well pain isn't exactly the word for it," Prue gritted her teeth as they watched Prudence endure another blow from the lash. "This HURTS!" The pain was so excruciating that Prue herself could hardly stop from screaming.

"Piper we have to do something!" Phoebe said as the crowd began to notice Prue's uncontrollable whimpers. A man standing next to them, looked at them oddly. "What do we have here, another witch?"

"Uh...oh" Piper breathed, "what do we do now?" Phoebe was readying herself for a fist fight when a bright blue light appear followed by an explosive sound.

Council of Elders

Cole was in the middle of Andy's defense, when Leo suddenly felt a shudder rush through him. "What is it?" Andy asked noting the white lighters disturbed expression.

"I don't know something just doesn't feel right. I'm going to go home and check things out then I'll be back."

Andy gave a nod and Leo orbed out.

"Your honors," Cole said suavely, "You cannot over look the fact that my client and Prue Halliwell are soul mates" A wave of Cole's hand produced a melody of holographic scenes from and Andy's childhood, followed by a scene with Andy and Prudence Warren. ". The Tracer is connected to her soul isn't that why you sent him back to the past?"

Ezekiel, and the other Elders looked at Cole grim, "While your intentions are notable, Belthazor, your meddling has already caused ripples to change in the past," Ezekiel said. "The Tracer must be sent back". Andy rubbed at his temple, although he was no longer in the past, he could still hear Prudence's voice in his head. Something was wrong.

Salem 1700

"You shall not hurt any of my daughters!" In a flash of blue light Melinda Warren stood, with her coat tailed cloak waving behind her.

"Oh my God. How did she do that?" Piper swallowed looking up at the Matriarch. Melinda looked larger than life. Somehow she had followed them through the portal, mesmerizing the crowd. A wave of Melinda's hand sent a crate of dry goods flying drawing any attention away from Piper, Phoebe and Prue.

"We are cursed! Free the witch before she destroys us all!" A man shouted, as Melinda moved a burning log into the side of a small wooden hut.

"You help Prue, I'll get Prudence," Phoebe said, taking off in a dead sprint for the stocks.

"Hurry!" Prudence panted, seeing that her executioner was distracted. Phoebe pulled at the heavy wooden bar, only to find that they were bolted. "I need some help with the locks!" Prudence squinted her eyes and the bolts flew to the ground, releasing her from her upright prison.

"We have to run!" Phoebe took Prudence's hand tugging her along, "we have to get to the horses!" Prudence shouted, "the blacksmith's stable is just around the corner," Together they ran, meeting Piper and a ragged looking Prue near the hitching post. Two saddled horses whined, as they took to riding double, thundering down the road to a nearby abandoned cottage.

"We should be safe here," Prudence hissed pulling open a heavy wooden door. They believe this cottage is haunted." Phoebe carefully lit a lantern, while Prue collapsed solidly into a stiff looking chair.

"Where's the first aid kit?" Piper grumbled looking about. "The what?" Prudence cocked her head, not understanding. "Your bandages and suave," Piper restated.

"On the top shelve in the kitchen" Prudence sighed, nearly collapsing against Phoebe.

"Easy" Carefully Phoebe helped Prudence to a musty looking cot. "I am truly Charmed to finally meet you" Prudence said, almost forgetting her pain. "Andrew told me so much about each of you; especially you Prue".

Prue smiled letting out a hiss, as Piper pressed a cool compress to her wounds, "some of these are pretty deep" Piper flicked her gaze to Phoebe wondering if Prudence's injuries were the same.

"You're telling me," Phoebe replied. "I'd feel better if Leo were here"

"He can't hear us. Our magic doesn't work here" Piper sighed, having an after thought, "wait a minute, if our powers don't work, then how did you have that premonition?"

"I gave it to her, by combining my powers," Prudence returned. She had combined both of her powers to give Phoebe a telekinetic premonition. "I can move images into the minds of others".

"Combining your powers?" Prue looked confused, "How did you do that?" For the moment, Prudence could only offer a sweet smile, "You will learn one day". All were quite until a blue light appeared in the room, transforming into Melinda Warren.

"You are not safe here my daughters" Melinda went to her daughter's side, "Prudence you must flee here at once or you shall not survive"

"But where shall I go?" Prudence asked, weak from her lashing, "I can hardly move". Melinda gripped her hands, "I have arranged for Andrew to take you another colony. A man by the name of Wentworth, has agreed to take you in as his bethroathed, he will help you protect your magic"

"Andy's coming here?" Prue's eyes suddenly clouded with emotion as Melinda continued to speak.

"Yes, the guardians have sent him back to aid Prudence and protect the family line"

"Oh" Prue said quietly, pursing her lips. If the Elders had chosen to have Andy help Prudence, then he wouldn't be allowed in her world. Picking up on her future souls anguish, Prudence rose to her feet, staggering her way across the room.

"May I give you a gift?"

Prue nodded as Prudence knelt at her feet, taking a hold of her hands. A sudden flash of red appeared in Prue's mind, as Prudence passed a telekinetic premonition of her future. Prue was standing in the gazebo at Golden Gate Park dressed in a wedding gown. Her sisters were on either side of her. Amanda was in her Piper's arms, grinning up at her father, Andy. They were getting married again Prue summarized.

Prudence smiled as rising to her feet as a swirl of orbs appeared in the room. "Always remember, love is stronger than magic, Prue" Prudence said as Andy materialized, ready to whisk her away.

Prue locked eyes with Andy, prompting him to flash his trademark grin. "Are you ready to meet your new future?" Prue knew he was talking to Prudence, but couldn't hold back her smile of innuendo.

"That I am," Andy's hands fell to Prudence's waist and together they disappeared, leaving Prue with a renewed sense of hope that they would be together again one day.
