Meanwhile, Andy and Leo were approaching the receptionist desk about to find out more information on the innocent when Andy went pale and stopped dead in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" Leo asked, noticing Andy's sudden change.

"It's Prue, we need to get to her." Andy became frantic, as his heart seemed like it was tied into a knot, wrenching with every breath. He had a feeling deep down that something horrible had just happened. A sense of loss and heartbreak stung at his heart. "There's something very wrong."

Leo paused for a moment, and then sensed to see if she was okay. He sat there concentrating, thinking only of the love he had for Piper and her sisters, when Piper's voice rang through his head. "Leo…" Her voice was so low and ragged, and he could sense that she was so full of fear and pain.

"You're right, something's not right." Leo responded, opening his eyes and pulling Andy into the bathroom to orb away quickly and unseen.

Underworld

"Cole, I think we should go back." Phoebe whispered, tugging on his sleeve that she was already clinging to.

"I promised you info, so we're getting some." He shrugged off her request and continued through the dark cavern in a defensive manner. Keeping one arm protectively in front of her petite body, and the other prepared to throw an energy ball.

Phoebe kept to his side, and continued to venture through the Underworld, wondering when they would reach their destination, and if her sisters were worried about her.

"I was thinking I should just go right to the Source." Cole said, breaking the awkward silence between them. Phoebe simply nodded her head in agreement, not even listening to a word he said. She had a horrible feeling deep down, something wasn't right. Her sisters needed her.

Noticing that Phoebe wasn't listening to a word he was saying, Cole let a tender kiss fall to her lips before shimmering away.

A moment later, Phoebe turned her head when she noticed his presence was gone, and his warmth was no longer protecting her.

"Cole?" She mumbled, trying to keep her voice down from the evil lurking around. "Damnit where is he!" She kicked the dirt below in defeat as a sense of fear overcame her. Her only protection in this Hell was gone.

Meanwhile, in the Source's lair, Cole stood before the Source. His muscles were tense as sweat slowly covered his forehead. There had been a bounty on his head for a few weeks now, and he was surprised his life wasn't taken the moment he shimmered in.

"Belthazor." The Source greeted, although his face wasn't visible, Cole knew he was grinning. "Always a pleasure." He chuckled as Cole bent down before him.

"I have come to apologize for my treason, and make up for it by taking the lives of the Charmed Ones." He lied, it was the only way to work with Shax and find out more about him. A demon so powerful wouldn't be after a doctor, there had to be a better reason.

"There is no need for you to kill them, Shax had already taken two." The Source informed, nodding to the guards behind him. "And your witch is next."

It was then that Cole heard Phoebe's cries for Cole as she was pushed to the ground beside him. His heart stopped for a moment, overlooking her new cuts and bruises.

"Shax, will you do the honours of completing your task." The Source ordered as Cole struggled to break loose from the guards' grip with no success. His deep blue eyes widened as he watched Shax pull his arm back, aiming a fireball directly at his beloved…

Manor

"Oh God." The words just managed to escape Andy's mouth as he looked upon the scene before them. He covered his mouth in shock as his body began to shake involuntarily. He looked over to Leo, who had the same expression on his face.

Both men immediately ran to each sister. Leo quickly placed his hands over Piper's body as it began to heal. He took in some air as he let out a large sigh of relief as she healed more and more.

Andy took one look at Prue's body as he dropped to her side, taking her hand in his. Panic overtook him when he saw that the warmth and usual glow she had was gone. He laced his fingers with hers as he tenderly pushed her bangs from her eyes.

He looked over and saw the life coming back to Piper's body, then looked back down to Prue. She was no longer breathing, probably hadn't since the attack, and was slipping away in his arms.

"Don't you dare die on me!" He stated, holding back tears, he began to stroke her cheek, urging her to stay with him. "I need you." He let out a sob as his head fell to her chest. He turned his head while tears began to flow freely and saw Leo pulling Piper up to him. Some relief came at the sight of Piper being safe, but Prue was gone. He knew it, as much as he didn't want to believe it.

It was then he saw Leo move away from Piper and moving over to place his hands over Prue's severely broken body. Andy sat up, to give Leo space, with his fingers still laced with hers, hoping a miracle would happen. His eyes remained focused on Prue's face, but he could hear Piper panicking in the background.

"Leo!" Her voice quivered as she tried to speak. "Leo, why isn't anything happening?" Her whole body began to tremble as she held in her tears, silently begging for her sister's life to be spared.

"I'm sorry." Leo mumbled under his breath, falling into what was left of the wall, his eyes wide in shock as he looked at Piper, who's eyes were even larger, filling with tears.

"No, this can't be happening." Piper sobbed as she fell to her sister's body with Andy. "Weed need to fix this." She looked up to Leo with pleading eyes, still filled with tears.

"Me?" He questioned, pointing to himself. He was still slumped up against the wall, stick in shock and grief; it was his job to protect her. He knew this needed to be fixed, to mend his heart, the family's, and most importantly Piper.

"Go get Phoebe, wherever the hell she is." Piper demanded. She waited a few moments of Leo still sitting there on the ground, looking defeated and wiping away a few tears. "NOW!"

Leo instantly orbed from the sitting position he was in a moment before to find Phoebe.

"We will fix this." Piper stated, trying to convince herself more than Andy. "We have to." She then saw the floor being illuminated by Leo's familiar blue lights.

"Where's Phoebe?" She asked, getting up to his level, studying his face that seemed to be dry of all his old tears, and in complete shock.

"Leo?" She asked, noticing his posture change. It was then that he legs gave way and he fell into her tiny arms. As she wrapped her arm around his wait to support him, she noticed a warm thick liquid was now covering her hands. "Leo!" She yelled bringing him down to the floor as Andy ran to her side, and helped him down.

"What happened buddy?" Andy asked, taking Leo's beige jacket off and pressing it against the wound.

"Phoebe and Cole are dead, I tried to heal her and one of the Source's darklighters got me in the back." He heaved, as sweat poured from his forehead, trying to hold back from screaming in pain. The colour in Piper's face drained completely. Everyone she loved except Andy was now dead, or dying. She stood there, watching Leo wince in pain as Andy tried to look at the wound.

"Don't all darklighters work for the Source?" Andy asked, wondering why he specifically said the Source's darklighters.

"Yes, but he gives some a large amount of power." He sighed looking over at Piper, who just stared in disbelief. "So much power that the poison acts quickly, I'll be gone in a few minutes."

It was too much for Piper to take; she had to leave for a minute. She ran into the dining room, letting tears fall freely as her world fell apart. It was then she heard the familiar wind whistle, knowing Shax was near. She waited for several seconds until he appeared a few feet away. This was her end, and she was going to take it to be with all those that she loved and lost.

She closed her eyes, and waited to feel the same impact as before. It came quickly as she felt her body fly through the air, then crash into the wall. The pain was hardly anything compared to how much her heart ached. Hearing Andy's screams the whole time, she let death slowly taking her. Her heart breaking even more that he was now left alone to deal with Shax. As her last seconds on earth passed, she could her Andy scream above her, clearly trying to protect her.

"Leave her alone!" He yelled, standing tall, but small to the large Hulk sized demon. He was in front of Piper's now broken body, trying to save one of the people Prue spent her whole life trying to protect. "You've taken too much from this family already!"

"Mortals." Shax chuckled, pulling his arm back, preparing to send an energy ball directly at Andy. But when the energy ball was a mere metre away, he disappeared into a purple orb/shimmer. Leaving Shax to ponder.

Meanwhile, as Andy reached the destination, sure he must be dead since the energy ball was so close. He looked around, and saw that everything in sight was beige, or grey. It was then an older man walked out from behind another area, dressed in a long beige robe with a grey collar.

"Where am I" Andy asked, "Am I dead?"

"Heavens no!" The man chuckled, walking over to a fountain and cupping his hand in the water.

"Okay, so where am I then?" He raised an eyebrow, not sure if this person was good or evil.

"I am neither good or evil." He answered, reading Andy's mind. "And you are here because you have a greater destiny to fulfill." He smiled a warm smile, drinking some water from the fountain that he had cupped in his hand. And then continued staring into the fountain.
