Thanks again for all the reviews! Stripy, there will be a lot more action throughout the rest of the story, although some chapters will be slow. Peanut2lb, thanks, and actually at first I wasn't sure what you were talking about lol, but then I figured out it was the new episode of Charmed. And truthfully I didn't watch that episode, so when my friend told me thy said that in there as well… I was shocked. Plus I had that part of the chapter done Sunday morning, before the new episode… Oh well. Cheese Monkey, and PrUe AnD AnDy, thanks for the review, and glad you like the story line Cheese Monkey.

Alcatraz "Underground"

"Where the hell are we?" Piper asked; as she struggled to break lose from the ropes holding her in the chair.

"Why do you want to know?" Darien asked as he picked at his cuticles…. Piper noticed this and smiled.

"Nervous?" She asked, causing him to stiffen quickly and look at her.

"Why would I be nervous?"

"I have no clue, but you're picking your cuticles, and your Mom does that all the time when she's nervous." Piper grinned, feeling as if even though he had grown up with evil, he still had some family traits.

"Sure." He said with a confused look, "So how long will it take for your sisters to find you?" He asked."

"Your family," Piper said to correct him, "Will be here soon to save us both."

"I don't need saving" He snapped back.

" I think you do." Piper said looking around trying to figure out where she was still. "Are you going to tell me where we are any time soon?"

"We're in an underneath Alcatraz, in a large prison cell." He said looking around his surroundings.

"I didn't know there was a large underground prison cell in Alcatraz."

"Not many do, it's hidden, because they used to use it to torture prisoners." He said grinning at the face she made after he told her.

"So how did you find it?" She asked, very curious how he could find and know about it if he had only been alive for about a day or two.

"I was looking for my father." He said looking down to the ground.

"Excuse me who?" Piper asked, not sure if he could be talking about the person. "Do you mean Bane?"

"If that's what you call him. Ara told me that you people put him in prison for perfectly normal things, so I came here first while looking for him, and found this."

"Why would you want to find him!" Piper screamed.

"Because he's my father, and because of you he's suffering in a tiny room surrounded by metal." He said disgusted by that thought.

"So you expect to break him out of jail or something?"

"Precisely." He sneered, looking down at his watch. "It's time." He said before shimmering away.

"What's with the surprise shimmering everyone!" Piper screamed as she decided to struggle to get free more while he was gone.

"I don't know, you tell me." Ara said as he shimmered in.

Manor

Prue and Phoebe were hovering over the map, scrying for Piper, while Leo was on the phone with Andy, who was looking for Piper with Darryl in the squad car.

"This is going to take forever." Phoebe sighed, getting tired of looking at the crystal move around the map.

"We'll find her." Prue said with a determined look still on her face.

"Shh…." Leo said pushing his finger against his ear that wasn't covered by the phone to listen to Andy better.

"Uh huh…" He said nodding his head, "Oh no…" he said next, "Ok thanks Andy." He said as he hung up the phone and looked at the girls.

"Ok…. Well Andy is on his way home because Bane's escaped from jail." Leo said lowering his head waiting for a reaction.

"What!" Phoebe screamed, "How?"

"Right now they told Andy that a man very close to Bane's description somehow got through the gates, got Bane and when they chased them, they went around a corner and disappeared." Leo explained.

"Who wants to bet that mysterious man was Darien." Phoebe said as she wrapped an arm around Prue. "Don't worry we'll keep them both safe." Phoebe said as she rubbed Prue's back and rested her head on her shoulder.

"I hope so, if anything happens to either of them I'll never forgive myself." Prue said as she went back to the map to begin scrying again.

Alcatraz "Underground"

"See, perfect example." Piper said talking about the demons constantly shimmering in out of nowhere.

"I'm no where near perfect." He said as he held out his hand and conjured a fireball.

Piper just glared at the energy ball flicking bolts of electricity, before realising what was happening. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"Taking advantage of a Charmed one being left alone, tied up, with no one around to help her." He grinned before releasing the energy ball and sending it straight for Piper. He body shook in the chair from the electricity, and the force of the electricity caused the chair and rope to break, letting her body fall to the ground. Darien had shimmered in with Bane during the middle of all this and couldn't believe what he had seen.

"How dare you!" He screamed as his eyes filled with rage and he sent a fireball directly at Ara, engulfing him in flames immediately before he disappeared into nothing. Once Ara was vanquished, Darien ran over to Piper, and tears slowly filled his eyes as he checked for a pulse, which was there.

"I'll be back." He said to Bane as he picked Piper's body into his arms and shimmered away to the only person he knew could heal her.

Manor

Prue was still scrying when Darien shimmered into the attic with Piper in his arms, his eyes had tears in them, and he looked very distressed when he ran over to the couch and placed her there before turning to Prue.

"She needs help…. Quickly!" He said, letting Prue get a good look at how injured Piper was.

"Leo!" She screamed, since he and Phoebe had gone downstairs to make food.

He orbed up quickly, knowing it had to do something with Piper, and immediately pushed Darien out of the way to heal her when he saw her lying on the couch.

After several moments of glow surrounding her, Piper gasped as she woke up, causing everyone including Darien to take a breath of relief.

"I knew it." Piper said pointing to Darien, causing everyone to look at him.

"Uh… knew what?" He asked, just as confused as everyone else.

"You love me, you still love this family." She said smiling.

"I never said I didn't care about you, it's just that you don't care about me." He said as he looked at Prue sadly and shimmered away.
