A/N: Thanks for the feedback guys I really appreciate it!
"Why is he after me," Phoebe said from her spot on the couch.
"Because you're a Charmed One so I guess feeding off you would give him power quicker," Piper said.
"Yeah but why me, you guys are the ones with the active powers, so that means you're more powerful than I am," Phoebe said.
"Yeah that's true, but I guess he thinks without active powers you can't defend yourself as easily as we can," Prue said almost regretting her words as she knew that was a sore point for Phoebe.
Piper grimaced as well as both her and Prue braced themselves for Phoebe's retaliation to Prue's comment. Both were surprised when Phoebe said nothing. They looked at each other questioningly before returning their attention to the Book of Shadows.
"What I don't understand," Piper said, "Is how he's even getting to her, I mean we've never heard a fight or anything so I don't get how he can do what he is doing."
"And he's not exactly feeding off her pain, he's causing her pain," Prue continued.
"Uh guys, her is still actually here," Phoebe interjected.
"That's true, and to tell you the truth if there's one of us I wouldn't want to fight it would be Phoebe 'cause she can kick some serious ass," Piper continued.
"Guys…" Phoebe tried again, but her sisters were on a role.
"Unless, there's no way she can defend herself on the plane that he is on, which for the record we still don't know how she is getting there," Prue said.
"GUYS!" Phoebe yelled wincing at the pain this caused to her abdomen.
"What?" Piper and Prue asked her.
"There's someone at the door," she said.
Her two sisters stopped talking and could both faintly hear the doorbell ringing.
"Oh my god," Prue said.
"What?" Piper asked.
"I totally forgot, Lisa at the magazine was picking me up this morning, we have a shoot at a local high school, it's something about how the students have renovated the school and the magazine wanted to do a story on it," Prue said getting up quickly, "Ok I've really gotta go, but you two continue researching and when I get back we'll talk more okay," she said kissing them both on the tops of their heads and then leaving.
"Ok, so how bout you jump on the laptop and look up stuff about this Dolores character and I'll keep looking in the book and I might even start scrying for him, although I don't know how much help that will be considering we don't even know how you're getting to him," Piper said to Phoebe.
"That's the thing Piper, I'm not going to him, I don't remember ever seeing that guy in my life," Phoebe said to her.
"Ugh, nothing is ever simple in this life is it?" Piper said.
Phoebe laughed.
"So I'm gonna take the book downstairs and into the sunroom, much more pleasant at this time of day than the attic, you coming?" Piper asked Phoebe.
"Uh, yeah, but Piper can I ask you something?" Phoebe replied.
"Sure sweetie, anything," Piper said.
"Could you help me downstairs, 'cause my knee is killing me and I honestly don't think that I could support myself right now," she said.
"Oh honey, do you think we should be getting you to the doctor?" Piper asked her.
"No, I'm sure I'll be fine, I just ache everywhere that's all, kinda feels like I've like rolled down the stairs or something," Phoebe said.
"You said your stomach was sore, you might have some broken ribs or something, do you have bruises or anything?" Piper asked her.
"I don't know I haven't really checked," Phoebe said lifting the bottom of her shirt up.
Piper gasped as Phoebe revealed that her stomach was covered in bruises.
"Oh my god," Piper said.
"Oh, that's not good," Phoebe said.
"Pheebs, I really think you should go to a doctor, that looks horrible," Piper said helping her sister to stand.
"NO, I hate doctors, and they're only bruises they'll go away," she said leaning almost all of her weight onto Piper as they started down the stairs.
After nearly two hours of searching Piper and Phoebe had switched jobs and Phoebe was swirling the crystal over a map of the world trying to pin point a location for Dolores.
"Ugh this is pointless," she sighed flopping back on the couch.
"Owww," she groaned instantly regretting her decision to move.
"Are you ok?" Piper asked getting up and coming over to sit next to Phoebe.
"Yeah, just hurts to move to much, actually it pretty much hurts to talk, walk and breathe, so I might just sit here in silence for awhile if you don't' mind," Phoebe said pouting.
"Aw Pheebs, I'm so sorry you have to go through this, but we're doing everything we can to try and find out who this guy is and why he's doing this," Piper said taking Phoebe's hand in hers, "If you want you can take a break and watch a movie or something, I'll keep looking on the internet."
"Ok thanks Pipe," Phoebe said switching on the TV, "Oohh Casper I love this movie," she said settling down.
Piper smiled, Phoebe was always going to be a little kid inside. After searching some more she nearly gave up.
"Oh Piper this is your favourite part, remember when Cat goes on the chair ride thing down to the basement," Phoebe said from the couch.
Piper smiled, "Yeah Pheebs, I remember."
"Oh, Phoebe, I think I found out how this guy is getting to you," Piper said looking up from the laptop.
