Phoebe just stood there a moment. "W-W-Where did you g-get those?" Phoebe asked.
"I found them in the attic," Prue answered so low that it was a whisper.
"Are these yours?" Piper asked, already knowing the answer, but needing to hear her baby sister say it.
Phoebe didn't respond. She walked over to the table that contained the other books and picked them up. Prue watched her move through the kitchen. Piper had still not taken her eyes off of the pictures in the book. She kept flipping page after page, each picture more disturbing than the next.
Finally, Phoebe walked over to Piper and made to close the book. "No," Piper said. As she finally looked up, Phoebe could see the tears in her eyes. "Phoebe, what is this? Huh? What the hll is this, cause I want to know?"
Phoebe looked at Prue. Prue just stared back. She had known something was up with her baby sister, but she had never imagined that it was something like this.
"You don't...I couldn't...it was because..." Phoebe's gaze dropped to the floor as blue orbs appeared in the room.
Leo chose that moment to orb into the room. He took one look at the scene, "What's going on here?" Leo asked out loud. He knew what kind of trouble he could get in with the girls for asking a question like that at this stage of the argument, but the scene looked bad enough for him to brave it.
No one answered Leo's question. Phoebe continued as if Leo wasn't even there, "This wasn't something you were ever suppose to see," Phoebe stated in a low voice.
"Well we did Phoebe!" now it was Prue's turn to get mad. She couldn't believe her little sister ever felt this way, that her sister never told her that she felt this way.
"Yeah well sorry I messed up your perfect little lives!" Phoebe screamed back as she ran off upstairs and into her bedroom, slamming the door shut.
Piper and Prue just stared at the stairs that their had just bolted up, neither sister sure of what to do. "Maybe she'll be in a better mood in the morning," Prue suggested.
"Yeah maybe, or maybe she'll decide to come down and tell us everything that is wrong in her life" Piper snapped back.
"Cool it Piper, I can only stand to fight with one sister at a time," Prue stated.
