A/N- Hello again! It's going to pick up pace a little bit after this chapter... at least i hope so. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Thank you all for the reviews! Blessed Be
Leo watched Phoebe and Paige on the floor of the attic. He hoped nothing had happened to them, and that they had somehow found a way into Piper's mind. Their breathing was regular, and they seemed to be doing fine. Leo turned his back on them to look again at the book of shadows.
Behind him he heard two sharp intakes of breath, and he turned around. Phoebe and Paige were struggling for breath. Quickly they regulated themselves, and Paige turned to Phoebe.
"That was close." She said, almost laughing.
"That was too close. Leo, could you heal me?" She turned over and Leo could see that her leg had been badly bitten, by a wolf of something larger.
"Did Rose do this to you?"
"Possibly, but I don't think so. Too many things are going on to differentiate what she's doing and what's just happening." Paige said, getting up and dusting herself off.
"Did you make it into Piper's mind?" Leo asked, as his hands glowed over Phoebe's leg and the wound disappeared.
"No, it didn't look like it. I mean, it could have been, but we would have had a hell of a time finding what we were looking for. It looked like Austria!"
"Austria? Piper's never been to Austria."
"No, but I bet Rose has." Phoebe said, startling them both.
"Why Rose?" Paige asked, confused.
"Because right after we recited the spell I thought about Rose instead of Piper, because then we could get the information straight from her head. She's obviously a little more complex then we thought."
"Okay, then we should try it again."
"No, it's too risky. There's no telling where we might end up. I think Rose has a barrier around Piper, or something like it anyway."
"Okay, then what are we going to do?"
"I have an idea. We're going to need nine white candles." Paige nodded and promptly went downstairs to get them.
"What are you going to do?" Leo asked, as Phoebe started flipping pages in the book of shadows.
"I'm going to call Prue."
"What?!"
"We tried once before, when we met Paige, and we got Grams instead. They promised that we'd see her again. Now I'm going to call her, and if she doesn't come I'm going to have to vanquish myself, because I'm not going to be able to get Piper out of this mess alone." Phoebe took a deep breath, having not taken one before. "Any questions?"
"No." Leo stood back and let Phoebe search for the spell herself. Paige came up with the candles and a lighter and lit them in a circle. She then went up to the book with Phoebe.
"Here it is. Okay, I hope we have enough power to do this ourselves."
"Of course we do, come on."
"Power of the sisters rise
Course unseen across the skies
Come to us who call you near
Come to us and settle here
Blood to blood, I summon thee.
Blood to blood, return to me."
There was a shimmer of bright lights in the ring of candles, and there appeared... Grams.
"Damn it Grams, we called for a lost sister. I want to talk to her, NOW."
"Nice to see you too dear. Hello Paige. And Leo! You're looked fine. Where's Piper?"
"I thought you watched over us."
"Well, yes, but it's been a little busy lately. Why, what happened?"
"Listen, it doesn't matter, please let me talk to Prue."
"Oh, all right. Grams disappeared for a moment nothing was there, and the three people stood in silence. The there was another light show, and Phoebe's sister appeared.
She was beautiful beyond words. Death hadn't slowed her down at all. She was perfect, as she had been in life as well. Phoebe stood with tear's filling her eyes. She couldn't move, and she looked her older sister in the eyes with such love as she had never felt. Her sister was back.
Paige stood awkwardly next to Phoebe. She had heard a lot of Prue, of course, but she had never seen her, or met her. Her pictures didn't do her justice. Paige could see why her sister's looked up to her like they did. Paige could fell her power, and her kindness, and she hadn't even spoken yet.
Prue stepped forward out of the ring, and her transparent body became solid. She stood with such grace as no other creature on earth could master. Leo looked at her with awe. He hadn't seen his sister in lay for three years. He couldn't imagine what Phoebe was going through. He wished Piper could be here. She would be so happy.
"Hi Phoebe."
"Prue? Is it really you?" The tears were now flowing freely, and she ran over to her sister and hugged her. For several minutes they held each other, Phoebe crying and Prue trying hard not to. She couldn't believe how much Phoebe had grown up.
Prue hadn't been able to watch from "up there" because of the emotional trauma it would have caused her. She was so happy to finally be home.
"Phoebe, it's okay. I'm here. It's really me." Phoebe pulled away from her.
"Prue, you have no idea how hard it's been. Why didn't you come to us? Why did they let us see you? It's been so long, and now Piper's missing, and we need you. It's so good to see you."
"You too. Nice hair, it suits you. You've grown up. You used to be my baby sister."
"Now you have two baby sisters," Phoebe turned and looked at Paige, who was watching tensely.
"Prue, this is Paige. Our baby half-sister."
"Paige! It's so nice to finally meet you. Mom talks about you all the time. She says you're so beautiful. I can see that you are."
"Paige, this is Prue, our older sister."
"I know. I've heard so much about you. Hard to live up to. It's nice to meet you too."
"And Leo. You haven't aged a day."
"Neither have you. You still look amazing."
"Thank you. Piper's lucky. So, did you say Piper's missing?"
"Yes." Said Phoebe, still wiping her face.
"Tell me everything."
