Chapter Twelve-
"Okay, before I tell you my plan, I'm going to need to see the book of shadows, and then I need to know what you've tried so far." Prue demanded.
"She's not in the book." Phoebe replied, looking up as Prue stood up.
"I know, I need to see it anyway."
"How do you know?"
"Don't ask. The book still in the attic?"
"Never left."
Leo spoke up as they started towards the stairs.
"I'm going to go check with the elders."
"Whoa! De Ja Vu!" Prue laughed as he orbed out. The three sisters marched up the stairs to the attic and bee-lined to the altar on which the book was still seated. Prue began flipping through it. As she did her eyebrows creased.
"Why are there X/s on some of these demons?" Prue asked.
"When you... left..."
"You can say it Phoebe."
"Say what?"
"Remember when we vanquished Barbas?"
"Which time?" Paige asked, smiling.
"What?"
"Never mind... go on." Prue shook her head and continued.
"Well I was afraid of saying 'I Love You', remember?"
"What?" Paige asked, confused.
"I was afraid of saying I Love You because it was the last thing I said to mom before she died, but you showed me that it was okay to get close to someone, even at the risk of losing them. You don't have to be afraid of saying that I died. I know it, you know it, and it doesn't make me feel bad or anything."
"No" Phoebe whispered. "But it makes me feel uncomfortable, Prue. You just went, died. You didn't see you dead on the floor. You didn't see Piper leaning over your body, crying, and holding you. You didn't go to your funeral, or spend months wondering what we had done to deserve this. You just didn't go through everything that Piper and I did. It was hard." She hung her head. Paige shuffled her feet uncomfortably."
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize..."
"It's okay. After you left Piper became angry with Leo, me the elders – pretty much anyone who got in her way. She blamed everyone for your death, herself the most. She started hunting down demons and killing them. She crossed out Demons as she discarded them. Her anger turned her into a Furrie. Paige helped us out of a tough situation there."
Paige smiled modestly.
"Okay. What have you tried so far?" Prue said. She didn't want to go into her death anymore. It was slightly painful to think about, so she changed the subject.
"Well, I went to the underworld to see if Barbas knew anything but..."
"Wait... Barbas?" Prue snapped her head up.
"Yeah."
"I vanquished Barbas, years ago. Has he come back?"
"You banished him to eternity in Hell, you didn't vanquish him. We were afraid that when he came back the first time we wouldn't be able to stop him, because we didn't last time. You did. We got over our fear, but he keeps coming back, he won't give up.
"Interesting." Prue continued to flip. Suddenly she came to an abrupt stop.
"Cole?"
"Don't ask." Phoebe said.
"Okay, I think the first thing we should do is pay Barbas another visit."
"But he said he didn't know anything." Paige said.
"I know that, but you also said that there wasn't anything in the book about Rose."
"There isn't."
"Then what's this?" Prue swiveled the podium around to show a page in the book of shadows. There was a very detailed drawing of her, and a long explanation followed it to the bottom of the page.
"What?! It wasn't in there the last time we checked."
"Well, then maybe Barbas has found something out since the last time you checked. He's a demon. As soon as you left he probably went out hunting for information. We can use him to find out Rose's greatest fear."
"But Rose has her lair protected and Barbas needs to get close to her to see. We don't know where she is." Paige countered.
"I think I have an idea."
"Where are you getting all these ideas?" Paige asked, comically.
"Paige. I'm Prue." They laughed and then turned to Phoebe.
"You ready Pheebs?" Phoebe turned to her, mouth open.
"That entry was not in the book!" Prue and Paige laughed again.
