Thanks again for all the reviews, I had to cut this chapter part way because it was getting too long. The other one should be posted in a day or two depending on school work etc… Peanut2lb, glad you thought the chapter was sweet, and yes every girl should have a guy like Andy and a sister like Piper. And you will find who the mystery man is in this chapter; two people say they think they know who it is. PrUe AnD AnDy!, glad you liked it. Pyrena, glad you liked it and yes blood isn't everything. CoLeAnDyPrUe, glad you think you know who it is. You're sound right from what you said. charmed4eva1990, glad you liked it.

Manor
Prue watched as the familiar face threw Phoebe's head against the end table, knocking her unconscious. Anger and fear filled her quickly, she knew she only had one thing to do, and that was to protect Phoebe.
"Oh… Big mistake buddy." Prue said as she sent him flying into the wall, smashing into a tiny bookshelf.
"And here I thought you'd be happy to see me." Rowland said with a sly grin, as he got up from the ground and dusted him self off.
"Very funny." Prue smiled, cold-heartedly and threw a ceramic statue at him, but he simply blinked away, leaving Prue to wonder where he was.
"In here witch." He voice echoed through the house, coming from the dining room.
As Prue ran in after him, she saw him standing on the dining room table waiting for her.
"I told you I'd come back." He said as he blinked away again. But instead of blinking into another room, he was now standing behind Prue.
She turned around, after hearing his breathing and attempted to kick him in the shins. But before she could do so, he grabbed her arms in one hand, and her legs in the other, and sent her flying forwards. Prue just closed her eyes as she felt herself spiralling through the air, and wasn't concerned until she landed hard against the dining room table, right on her stomach. She immediately felt like gagging, and the pain was horrible, but she slowly got up, and as she did she saw his evil eyes staring at her, as he laughed.
"You bastard." Prue said, as she felt even more hatred towards this man, since she suddenly remembered she had to protect her baby somehow as well.
"Don't worry, I didn't hurt your little one." He said as he took a step towards her. "I have a friend who has plans for this one."
"Excuse me? Plans…" Prue said, completely forgetting she was in a battle with this man.
"In time, you will see." Was all he said before he blinked back into the living room to Pheobe.
"I may need to keep you alive, but not her." He said as he slowly brought his hand closer to Phoebe, and it began to glow a bright red.
Prue ran in seeing the hand getting closer, once she saw the red burning, she remembered what it was from when she had the power for about 10 seconds. It was the touch of death. She quickly sent him flying towards the couch and picked up the end table and threw it at him, to keep him occupied for a few moments, as she picked up the phone and dialled Andy's number.
"Trudeau." Prue felt relieved to hear his voice, but needed to get off the phone quickly, before he got back up.
"Andy! You have to go to P3 and get Piper, then come to the Manor as soon as possible ok?"
"Uhh… okay, what's wrong. Is it something about the baby?" Andy asked as his heart stopped with worry, because the doctor said she would call if the blood tests showed anything bad.
Rowland was walking over to Prue, clearly angry that she was calling for help. His fists were clenched, and he had just as much hatred in his face as Prue did.
"No it's Rowland." Was all Prue could say before he punched her across the side of the face, causing her to drop the phone and scream in pain.
Andy quickly put the sirens on his car, and drove away leaving Darryl in the coffee shop.
Prue tried to get up to her feet to fight again, but she was still weak from the blow her stomach took from the table. As soon as she was half way up, he picked up a large book, and hit her across the back of the head. As hard as she tried to keep her eyes open, they closed anyways.
"Come out my friend, she's ready now." Rowland said as he looked toward around, when Ara shimmered in.
"Foolish witches." Ara ginned as he walked over to Prue and picked her up in his arms and walked over to the couch where he lied her down gently and began to chant.
Phoebe woke up slowly and saw a man dressed in black hovering over an unconscious Prue chanting.
"What the hell?" Was all she said as she scrambled to her feet and ran over to help Prue.
"No I am not letting you screw this up." Rowland said as he grabbed Phoebe and held her close and closed his eyes. Phoebe just stood there, unable to move, and not sure what he was doing. Suddenly a bright orange glow surrounded her body, and she slowly couldn't feel parts of her body. It started at her toes, but the feeling quickly moved all the way to her neck. It was then that she remembered he had the power to paralyse you.
Once she could no longer move or feel anything but her head, he let her drop to the ground.
"I'll deal with you later, once this is done." He said as he walked over to Ara again.
Phoebe watched helplessly as Ara finished the chant, and snickered brushing some hair out of Prue's face.
"Take her to your lair while the process finishes, and I will be by after I finish with her sisters."
"Yes Sir." Ara said as he gently picked Prue up, and stood beside Rowland. Phoebe couldn't get over how pale Prue's face now looked, and was going crazy that she couldn't help.
"Prue!" She screamed hoping her sister would wake up, and because screaming was all she could do.
"There's no point in screaming now." Rowland said as he looked at Ara and nodded, signalling for him to leave. Ara obeyed and shimmered away holding Prue.
"No!" Phoebe screamed as she tried so hard to move her body.
"I've already told you that screaming is pointless. So why do you keep doing it?"
"Because I actually care for my sister, so anything can help."
"If you're implying that I didn't care about my brother, you're terribly mistaken. Considering what I'm doing right now."
"You obviously don't care the same way." Phoebe muttered as she saw him coming closer.
They were interrupted by the front door slamming and loud footsteps running towards them.
"Prue!" Andy screamed frantically.
"Phoebe!" Piper screamed, but they both stopped when they entered the living and saw Phoebe lying on the ground with Rowland standing beside her.
"Hello." He said grinning.
"What the hell are you doing here, and what did you do with Prue!" Andy screamed as he clenched his fists in anger, because the last time he had seen this man, he stabbed the love of his life, and managed to get many people almost fired, for "aiding him in his escape".
" If you hurt her." Piper said threateningly, then her glance moved towards Phoebe, just lying on the floor. "What did you to her!" Piper screamed, pointing to Phoebe.
"I just had to stop her from stopping my friend. I'll be back later." He said as he blinked away.
"Phoebe are you okay?" Piper asked as she ran to her sister's side.
"Well not completely, but I'm better then Prue is."
"What did he do to you?" Andy asked as he picked her up from the floor, and carried her over to the couch.
"He paralysed me, but that Ara guy came, and chanted something to Prue, then he shimmered away with her." Tears came to Phoebe's eyes, thinking of how she had just watched this all happen, but couldn't do anything.
"It's okay, we'll find her and everything will be fine." Piper said comforting her sister. "But we can't do it with you paralysed. LEO!" She screamed heavenward.
The whitelighter quickly orbed in with a curious face on.
"What's going on?" He asked as he walked over to Piper and gave her a hug.
"Oh well Phoebe's paralysed, and Prue's been kidnapped by the child killing demon." Piper said with a fake grin on before she pushed her hair back.
"Well I can heal Phoebe, and hopefully sense Prue." Leo said as he walked over to Phoebe and held his hands over her body. He smiled as a glow came from his hands, because he wasn't too sure if he was able to heal that type of injury. Once the glowing stopped, he took his hands away and walked back over to Piper.
" Well it feels nice to feel." Phoebe said as she sat up, and pulled out something that she could feel underneath her. It was the ultrasound picture of Prue's baby.
"What is that?" Piper asked, looking at the picture Phoebe was holding.
"It's your little niece or nephew." Phoebe stated handing the picture to Piper. "Prue wanted to show you, but you might as well."
Piper looked at the picture carefully, and kept turning it to see where it was.
"It's right there." Andy said as he pointed to the little blob of white to the right.
"Leo we have to hurry, Ara has Prue, and you know what he can do to her or the baby." Piper stated, seeing that everyone was getting sidetracked.
"I thought you vanquished him." Leo asked.
"Well we though so too. But he must've found a way to get back or we never really vanquished him." Piper stated, "But who cares about that right now, we need to save Prue. Who knows what he's doing to her.
