CCMcKenna: What can I say you totally made my day with that spoiler! Here's to Shannen saying yes and the Power of Four becoming a reality. damaris: Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! Pinky thanks for all the names! So many to choose from!! Jdjams thanks for the review and you are so right Charmed hasn't been the same without Prue.

Paige's powers: Orbing, force field protection, (I guess that includes deflection within the force field) and spells. Basically because she is youngest sister, Paige's powers are passive like Phoebe's were in the beginning. Paige is starting out as an apprentice so to speak. Appointed as special guardian to selected magical children, Paige's destiny is to guide them on their magical way. Her powers of course will grow accordingly into something active. If anyone is wondering about TKO, that may come in time but for now Prue is the only telekinetic.

This chapter is set 3 months into the future; Prue is about 5 months pregnant. Andy is a still a wendigo. Paige is adjusting to her charmed life quite nicely and is living at the manor temporarily in the space that used to be the den. Leo is converting the basement into an extra room.

Charmed in the Afterlife:The Charmed, The Lost and TheWicked Whitelighter

Downstairs, Phoebe used a ladel to spoon a thick liquid from a bubbling pot into a sippy cup before fastening the lid, "here baby, drink up". Amanda looked at her Aunt unsure.

"It tastes good, I promise" Phoebe added with a big smile.

"What smells like Grape Kool-Aid and dog crap?" Piper asked entering the kitchen taking a wiff of the strong scent and quickly retracting her nose

"It's wendigo repellant" Phoebe replied kneeling to Amanda's level. "Sweetie you drink to this, so that you'll be protected.

Wendigo repellant? Phoebe if Prue hears you she'll go nuts!"

"Go nuts about what?" Prue asked adjusting her earring as she came into the kitchen. "Ewe what is that?" she asked crinkling her nose. The smell wanted to make her vomit. "It smells like grape dog crap!"

"Phoebe's made wendigo repellant"

"You made wendigo repellant? Why?" Prue asked defensive.

Phoebe tucked a strand of her long brown hair behind on ear and rose to her feet.

"Because we need protection" Wendigos seemed to be attacking the manor on a nightly basis, thanks to the Source's manipulation of the moon.

"From the Wendigo's or from Andy?" Prue's brow arched in anger, "He's not going to hurt us"

" Look I know this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black, but he's a wendigo Prue. It's only a matter of time before he kills an innocent or one of us," Phoebe argued flatly.

"Funny a few months ago, I was saying the thing about Cole"

"I know" Phoebe said quietly, "and just like you I have to play the voice of reason. We need to do something Prue we can't just keep fighting off wendigo's night after night.

Piper shoved her hands into the pockets of her jeans and blew her bangs away from her face, "I hate to admit it Prue but Phoebe's right, the wendigo's are multiplying in force. I don't know how much longer we can hold them off."

"Then we have to fight harder! We can't let them win"

"We need to find the queen" Phoebe added, "once we get rid of her the rest will fall and Andy will be cured."

"And if we can't find the queen?" Piper inquired looking at Prue.

"Then we'll have to strip Andy's powers, just you wanted to do to Cole" Phoebe said bluntly, glancing at Prue, so that both she and Piper were giving her intense stares.

Prue felt tears gather behind her lashes if they stripped Andy's powers, he'd go back to being an apparition. He was no longer, part human like Cole. He was part angel.

A couple of hours later, Prue stood over the book of shadows, running her fingers over the picture of the wendigo. The eyes on the hand drawn sketch looked so cold and hard; so unlike Andy's. "I won't lose you to this" she sighed closing the book. She took a moment to run a hand through her hair. Three months had now passed since Andy had been slashed, and she yet to find a way to turn him back.

"Prue" Paige stood in the doorway holding a small vial in her hand.

"Hey" Prue grinned pulling her a grin to her broken smile. "What ya got?"

"It's a potion. I made it for Andy" Paige moved towards her oldest sister, a little hesitate. Being akin to Prue, the super witch wasn't easy. In Paige's eyes, Prue was the perfect combination of confidence and strength, as well as a master at witch craft.

Prue took the vial from Paige's hands. "You made a potion for Andy? It's not wendigo repellant is it?

"No" Paige shrugged, "It's to repress the physical form of the wendigo. It should keep him from turning into big foot night after night, at least physically"

Prue looked at the vial for moment.

"Don't worry, Piper helped me with it so it's safe." Paige added, hoping to ease Prue's doubts.

"I'm not worried"

Paige's face fell slightly, "Im really sorry about Andy turning into a wendigo Prue. I feel like it's all my fault"

"No it's not your fault, Paige. One of the hardest things I have learned being a witch is that everything happens for a reason".

I just can't help but think, if I'd done more that night at the park that-"

A strange set of orbs suddenly swirled in the room, with the white lighter, Natalie appearing.

"Who are you?" Paige asked crinkling her nose.

"Someone you don't want to know" Prue snipped bitterly, eyeing Natalie. "What you are doing here?"

"I'm here for Paige" the hated white lighter replied in a tone that made Prue's blood boil. "She's been assigned as my apprentice for the second course of her training."

"What?!" Prue's hands formed fists. "Over my dead body. LEO!".

The faithful white lighter appeared instantly with Piper.

"Explain this!" Prue blistered pointing venomously at Natalie. Surely, after all they'd been through with Natalie in the past the Elders wouldn't assign Paige to her.

"Well uh" Leo began sheepishly, "the Elders have asked Natalie to oversee this new phase of Paige's training. They feel that Natalie has more experience in this area than I do". While Leo was an expert in handling future white lighters, his cohort Natalie was better versed to handle magical children who had yet to receive their powers.

"I don't believe this!" Piper groaned, "Leo how can the Elders do this to Paige!? She's brand new!"

"Guiding magical children are Natalie's specialty"

"Hmm, I thought it was abducting them" Prue grinned shooting a look of hate at the plump white lighter.

"I was protecting a the greater good" Natalie retorted calmly, staying true to her position. "By the way how's Andy?"

"Abducting who?" Paige whispered to Piper. Piper leaned closer to her younger sister. "Amanda. Natalie practically stole her from Prue's womb"

"Oh" Paige's dark eyes grew wide, "So I guess I'm stuck working with the enemy?"

"So it appears," Piper quipped stepping forward as Prue started to lunge for Natalie, "excuse me, I have to referee." Quickly she stepped between her pregnant sister and the white lighter"

"Okay, Prue, let's just go down stairs and let Leo handle this before you accidentally throw somebody out of the window and we all lose our powers"

"We don't want a repeat of that performance" Leo quipped softly as Piper managed to shuffle a seething Prue from the room.

After Prue was gone, Natalie adjusted her jacket, and reached for Paige's hand, "shall we get started?"

Paige glanced from Leo to Natalie and back, "do I have a choice?"

"No"

"Ok then" Reluctantly, Paige took a hold of Natalie's hand and together they orbed away. A few minutes later they materialized in a run down orphanage. Dirty sheets covered make shift beds, which sat, in parallel rows. Dozens of children dressed in rags all sporting sunken eyes moved in a zombie like manner about the room and into an endless corridor.

"Where are we?" Paige asked creeped out by her new surroundings.

Natalie clapped her hands in front her, "the dimension of lost children"

"Lost children?" Paige's eyes grew wide awaiting further explanation.

"This is the place were children come when their souls are lost due to change of destiny or fate."

"So what am I suppose to do?" Paige felt her heart bleed at the sight of under nourished bodies dressed in burlap sacks.

"Find your charge" Slowly Natalie started to orb, leaving Paige to panic.

"Find my charge?" Before she could finish her sentence, Natalie was gone. "Wait you can't leave me here, I don't know what to do!"
