'It's futile Prue...you belong to me and only me." Roger bragged while Prue flared her nostrils in a show of defiance..

"I belong to no one, especially a deranged freak like you! Let me go Roger and I promise I'll make your vanquishing instant!" Prue narrowed her eyes as she attempted to use her power to no avail.

''Now, now, Prudence...didn't mommy teach you to play nice? Oh yeah...she died young right? I heard it was your fault she died!''

''GO TO HELL!'' Prue snarled as one of the balls that kept her chained jerked a few feet.

''Ooh I see...getting angry huh? Then again you always were ferocious so it's nothing new.''

''Why are you doing this Roger? Why do you keep asking me questions and bringing up my past?''

''You see Prudence my new master...the one that has given me these wonderful powers asked me a favor. I can have you in change for the lives of your sisters.''

''You monster how could you sink so low? Even if you were a pig-headed and self-centered bastard you weren't a murderer. I know that much!''

''Are you trying to appeal to my former human heart?'' the Armani wearing man mocked her with false tears. Like always Roger talked just to hear the sound of his own voice. ''Don't make me laugh. You know this wouldn't be happening if you haven't left.''

''When my sisters find us you're as good as dead.''

"Oh don't worry about them my associate is already taking care of that. Well not really my associate she is a strange little bird who feeds on doubt, regret, and stuff like that. Honestly I don't see how such an air-head with that hair color could be a demon, but that doesn't matter.' he said as he began stalking towards Prue. ''It's just you and me now and I'm going to show you how much I...'' before Roger could get into touching distance of Prue he was grabbed by the back of his neck by a figure Phoebe didn't recognize. Obviously another demon of sorts, but quite short all things considered.

Whoever the hell he was his presence unnerved Prue who decided to watch and see what she could learn. For whatever reason she was being kept in the underworld she was sure they didn't need her in perfect condition or else the damn medallion wouldn't have burned her.

''Learn your place human!'' the rather annoyed demon said as he flung Roger back. ''Do you just that quickly forget your instructions? We have no idea how much of a bond the Charmed Ones have and the last thing we need is for her sisters to pick up on her emotional distress and form a mental bond.''

''She's mine...'' Roger hissed. ''I've done what I've been instructed to do so why can't I...'' a large rock was jolted into Roger's chest cutting him off in mid-rant leaving him clutching his chest.

''Those powers can be taken away from you at a whim and another puppet in your place. Once we learned everything we need to do you can do whatever you want to Halliwell afterwards but not before. Humans have this odd thing with positive emotions and bonds and from what I know situations like this lead to them more than likely discovering our location. I don't know how or why, but it's not something that will be changed. Step out of line again and you will be eliminated.'' the demon turned to Prue. ''Do not think much of this witch. Your time will be coming soon.'' Diriel remarked as he disappeared in a column of flames.

Some time had passed and Prue found herself trying to break the master link of the old chains using her telekinetic power to slam rocks against it. After already trying to leave the room and being flung back by the barrier Prue figure she could at least free herself and improve her fighting standing.

''Determined as always I see...'' Roger said as he entered the room. ''Why won't you accept what's meant to be?''

''Go to Hell!'' she coldly remarked as Roger cruelly smirked and countered with an 'already there.' He then placed a tray of food on the bed. ''I don't want anything you brought.'' she remarked as she shifted away from Roger. Her stomach growled as the smell of a chili-cheese burger and fries was very tempting.

"Eat," Roger told Prue. ''You don't want to starve yourself do you?'' he asked as a low growl escaped from Prue's mouth. It had nearly been a day and they both knew if she wanted to keep her strength up she would need to eat. When Roger left to do know what god knows what Prue ate the food in peace. When she finished Roger had returned with a box.

Roger smiled and handed Prue the box. "Open it," he urged. Prue hesitated for a few moments before opening and let out a gasp of disgust upon seeing the object inside. It wasn't disgust for the object itself but the fact what Roger had in mind. In the box was the Rivoli Silk Night Gown she had bought for her last birthday when she had splurged a bit of money she got from a bonus, but so far she hadn't had a chance to wear it for anyone. In fact this was the same thing she had got that she wanted to wear to surprise Roger for their wedding night and now it sat there in the box, taunting her in a mix of stomach wrenching irony and shock.

Almost seven hundred dollars was spent on the breathtaking night gown that was imported from France. The nightdress was a French Satin Silk, Silk Chiffon Mousseline, and French Lace and from the catalog she read it wore like a dream. An exquisite silk gown with a Silk Satin Bodice that was trimmed in French Lace designed in a V-front and a deeper V in back which flowed into the delicately sheer Silk Chiffon Mousseline full-length skirt along with adjustable straps crisscross revealing a sexy low-cut back. The top off the outfit was a matching sheer Silk Dressing Gown/Robe with short sleeves and a full skirt trimmed in beautiful French Lace and self-ties in front for an exquisite Peignoir Set.

Definitely not something one would just go out and buy. ''You bought this dress for me didn't you? I found the receipt in one of your drawers and compared the dates. So it's only natural that you wear it for me.''

''No...'' Prue spoke as she shook her head. ''It's over between us Roger. Get it through your thick skull that there will never be anything between us again.'' to accentuate her clear disgust she tossed the box aside resulting in the nightdress to spill out. ''I'm with someone who not only cares about me and treasures me, but also respects my sisters. He's a man in ways you'll never be...'' Prue gave out a choked outcry as Roger tackled her and wrapped his hands around her throat his fingers clutching tightly around it and bruising it.

''Shut your mouth! I am the one and only! THE ONE AND ONLY!'' He roared before realizing what he was doing before regaining his composure, letting Prue go who let out several coughs and massaged her bruised neck.

''Yeah...a real keeper.'' she venomously remarked.

''You're going to give yourself to me Prudence...otherwise...'' he left the sentence up in the air as Prue sent him a pointed look filled with revulsion and anger as she continued to softly rubbed her neck.

''Otherwise what?''

''Otherwise we see if your sisters can swim.'' he answered as fear briefly flashed through Prue's eyes. ''So amusing...seeing you there sitting so weak and helpless.'

''If you touch them...I'll kill you Roger. I swear to whatever Deity is watching I will end you!" the power behind Prue's threat caused Roger to recoil slightly, but he stood his ground.

''Put the dress on Prue. You're only making this harder for the both of us.'' he said as his head began to hurt. Ever since that damn demon showed up and offered him the chance to get Prue back he felt weird. Like there was a second presence in his head.

'Show her who is in command! Make her understand her place!' whispery like a soft breeze the gnawing thought filled his head.

''I'll die before I get myself to you,'' she loath-fully remarked. Though, Prue soon regretted her words when Roger let out an inhuman cry and attacked her. When it was over Prue groaned as she assessed her injuries. She had a bruised lip, some cuts on her face, along with scrapes, bruised rips, and bruising on her chest and legs. While Naruto's training sessions were painful he had never full on attacked her like this. The pain from her ribs in fact made it hard for her to move.

What felt like two days had passed where she was left in the room to slowly heal from the intense beating despite the despair she was feeling she kept faith in her sisters and tried to remain strong. She would not give into Roger...she would not let him win. And she remained strong no matter Roger's attempt to pressure her into sex. At this rate, any day now, he would snap as he seemed to already ignoring the demon's warning of triggering an emotional outburst within her. She was not going to give up no matter what.

Meanwhile back on Earth in the Halliwell mansion. Paige Matthews groaned as she slowly sat up and placed a hand on her forehead as she tried to steady her thoughts. Her head was killing her and she was disorientated. The last thing she knew was that she was in her apartment, sitting down in shock when she was told her friend was murdered and the next thing she knew she heard the sound of something reminiscent of bells and blacked out. Slowly gathering her bearings she moved her hand from her head and placed it on the ground as she tried to push herself up. Dropping down for a moment as she was still disorientated Paige got to her feet and looked around the room. She didn't recognize the place but strangely enough it felt familiar; a powerful connection she couldn't place her finger on illuminated all around her.

''Hey! Who are you and what are you doing in our house!'' the angry voice startled Paige causing her to jump slightly and spin around to come face to face with two women.

''I...I don't know! I mean I'm not sure how I got here.'' Paige knew she must have sounded like a nut to these two, but her mind was still trying to catch up to her mouth. She was still in a bit of shock and could one blame her? Paige watched in confusion as one of the women threw her hands up and nothing happened. They then began whispering to each other as she quizzically watched them converse.

''So...we're supposed to believe that you just appeared in our home and not know how or why?'' the same angry one from before asked.

''I know it sounds crazy but I don't know what to tell ya'?'' Paige reacted as she shrugged her shoulder.

The angry one's companion was growing steadily impatient. ''We don't have time for this Phoebe.''

''But Piper...'' Phoebe began but her elder sister cut her off.

''We have that thing. We have to call Nicole and find out about that weirdo in green.'' Piper whispered to her sister but not low enough for Paige to be unable to hear. She always did have an acute sense of hearing.

''You two...you know about that freak murderer right?'' Paige asked causing the two sisters to look up at her. Phoebe continued to look at her with suspicion while Piper seemed on the brink of indecision on her opinion on this intruder.

''What do you know about the incident at the peer?'' Piper knew that any information at all was helpful.

''The murderer killed my friend!'' Paige informed them as she bit her bottom lip to keep from trembling. ''I want to help anyway I can to put this woman behind bars. You two seem to have a friend who is a cop right? Please...let me help!'' for years Paige had dedicated her life to helping people. One could say it was her calling of sorts and when Paige decided to become a part of something she was often too stubborn to let it go.

''Alright fine,'' Phoebe said with a huff. ''We'll take you to meet...our friend and you could tell her what you know about the mur...what happened to your friend.'' Phoebe corrected herself as she saw the woman tense and mentally berated herself. She felt ashamed she wasn't showing any empathy towards a victim or some mad murdering demon, but at the moment she was dealing with her own emotional turmoil. Despite the fact Phoebe hadn't admitted to her sister as the first few months in New York the charm of being off on her own and being her own boss soon worn off as she was hit with a little something called responsibility. Between a flaky significant other, a lack of a stable job, and piling bills she began to realize how much she missed Prue and Piper having her back. She didn't know why, but as she got into Piper's car she began staring off into space.

Rolling down the window some her face was soon bombarded by gentle breezes. The sound of cars honking and people's shouts were slowly fading as she began to recall a memory from her childhood.

''Come on...why can't I go too?'' an eleven year old Phoebe childishly demanded as she stomp her foot on the ground. She was really sick and tired of Prue treating her like a baby. She thought how unfair it was that Prue got to hang out with all those cool popular kids and go to parties. Piper of course didn't display much interest in such, but then again she was quiet so Phoebe never took much notice of her sister's interest.

''It's because you're too young.'' Prue stated.

''Oh come, please let me come?'' Phoebe pleaded and blinked her eyes as she clasped her hands together, fingers intertwining and entwined fists shaking slightly as she followed Prue out of her room and down the steps.

''For the last time no Phoebe. You're only eleven and I can't have fun and keep an eye out for you at the same time. I always have to do so while we're at home anyway so I need this time to myself.'' over the past two years Prue had change. She seemed to grow away from her sisters and her behavior even changed.

''This is so not fair. I bet if I was Piper you would let me go!'' she challenged as Prue turned her head briefly only to turn back, snort, and shook her head.

''This isn't Piper's sort of thing and she wouldn't embarrass me. At least she listens.'' the last part Prue whispered.

''And what is that supposed to mean?'' Phoebe angrily countered.

''It doesn't matter I say you can't go Phoebe and that's final!'' Prue angrily exclaimed, growing tired of her sister's behavior.

''FINE! Go have fun at your stupid party! I didn't want to go anyway!'' Phoebe angrily stormed to her room with tears running down her cheeks.

Prue briefly felt bad about upsetting Phoebe but shook away the thoughts. Her sister could be a bit over dramatic at times and was rather immature. Maybe she should come up with something to distract Phoebe so she would stop bugging her about things. Her mind back on the party Prue didn't take notice the sound of footsteps following her swept up in the wind. Getting into a card where her friend Stephanie was waiting she thought she saw something and glanced up at the mansion and dismissed it as her imagination, but unknown to her it was none other than Phoebe who was following them on Piper's bike.

Phoebe followed the car to the house where kids were pouring in and out of the place. Trash littering the lawn and loud music being played as the various teens talked about the newest movies, fads, and enjoyed getting drunk Every few steps there were kids making out, flirting, or gyrating in a matter Phoebe was sure if Gramms even caught her thinking about it her grandmother would tan her hide until it was as red as the evening sunset became at times.

''Heys there! Wants sumthin to drink?!'' one teen slurred as he bumped into Phoebe and spilled most of the red plastic cup contents on the floor. Phoebe quickly scuttled away from the blond and bumped into two teens making out.

''Beat it!'' the boy snarled at her before he continued making out with the girl.

Letting out grunts and oomps from being bumped into by the teens who didn't take note of the girl and with only a few vague whispers or concern about who let the kid into the party she soon found herself over by a table. Looking around she saw Prue on the other side of the room laughing and hanging out with some of her friends, two whom which got up and began gyrating like the other teens. What followed were several boys approaching Prue but her turning them down until she was asked by one of the football players to which she placed her red plastic cup on the table and joined him on the dance floor.

Phoebe looked around and saw a cup of liquid. Picking it up Phoebe decided to drink some but her face scrunched up because of the taste, but she fought the sensation and drunk more. Even if Phoebe would have never admitted if asked, but she wanted to be just like Prue. Pretty, popular, smart...she wanted to be loved. She had figured if she was more like Prue then more people would pay attention to her. For whatever reason her feelings of sadness and nervousness began to fade as Phoebe consumed another drink, and another, and another as her mind became hazy. She wasn't sure how but she soon found herself on the dance floor and hands touching her. She was so drunk she wasn't too much of anything until she began to feel dizzy. Suddenly she puked up the contents of the liquids she consumed, getting some on a couple near her much to their horror and disgust as she fell back. People began shouting over the music and a crowd began to form.

''Phoebe! Phoebe wake up!'' Prue yelled over the whispers and music as she rushed to her sisters side. ''Please wake up!''

"Someone call an ambulance!" a voice yelled.

"No way, the police will come." said another voice.

Prue got up and grabbed the kid by the shirt who had said not to call the ambulance.

"That is my sister and we are going to call an ambulance now. So help me if anything happens to her you're as good as dead." Prue threatened him as the kid who was against calling the cops pissed himself. In disgust Prue pushed him away as another boy assured her he would call and head over to the phone.

Pained groaned echoed from Phoebe causing Prue to rush back over to her side. ''What are you doing here! I can't believe you would come after I specifically told you know?'' Prue could hardly remember a time she was so angry, but that was caught sort when she heard Phoebe whimper and began to cry.

''I'm sorry Prue...'' Phoebe said as she began to cry and clutch her stomach. ''I thought if you could see I could be like you then you would want to hang out with me again and love me like you used to.''

Those words struck a chord in Prue who felt guilty and ashamed of herself how she selfishly only thought about herself and not how her sister would have felt and the reason for her behavior and decisions no matter how dumb the decision. ''Phoebe...how could you even think that? You know I love you.''

Phoebe continued to sniffle. ''It hurts Prue...it really hurts.''

''Hang on okay baby girl? Be strong...you'll be okay?'' Prue assured her up until the paramedics arrived.

''Wait Prue...don't leave me?'' Phoebe cried out for her sister as the paramedics placed her in the truck. Whatever was in those drinks were some new form of drug, that much was clear that and the fact Phoebe was having some sort of reaction.

''I'll never leave you Phoebe...I'll always be here for you.'' Prue assured her as she joined Phoebe in the ambulance and stayed by her side. Thankfully enough the paramedics on duty didn't have the heart to separate a young and frightened girl from her sister.

Phoebe was jostled from her thoughts when they stopped at a red light. 'Hang on Prue...this time I'm going to save you.' she thought as she placed her hand on the handle and opened the car. Looking up at the woman, Paige, Phoebe couldn't help but freeze for a moment. There was something...familiar about the girl. She couldn't quite but her hand on it, but it felt like she had seen the woman before.

'Heeeeeeeey!' a rather high-pitched and goofy voice squealed, drawing in Phoebe's attention. Emerald hair, unusual clothing and...a knife? ''Looooking for meeeeee!"

''Piper! Over there!'' Phoebe shouted as she tugged at her sister's sleeve drawing her attention. From what they knew of the perpetrator it was a woman with green hair and since the common unusual dye hair colors were blue, violet, or more traditional colors sure enough this had to have been the person they were looking for.

The girl turned and began skipping along her marry way. ''Quick! Before we lose her!'' Paige urged Piper on for a moment hesitated before pressing the petal and illegally turning down another street forcing several cars to step on the break with numerous disgruntled drivers honking their horns and uttering colorful language.

They followed the girl until she made a break-neck turn into the ally. ''What are we doing? Shouldn't we be calling the police?'' a rather nervous Paige spoke up as the car came to a stop.

''Wait here...'' Phoebe told her as she undid her belt buckle and opened her door.

''You can't be serious? You two expect me to stay here while you chase after a killer? I think we really should wait for the police.'' she countered only for Piper to send her a pointed glance.

''We have our reasons just stay here and call the police. Ask for Detective Henry or Nicole.'' she said as she and Phoebe were out the door and entering the alleyway.

Biting her bottom lip Paige hesitated for a moment before taking out her cellphone. She had no idea what the hell was going on, but she knew she couldn't just sit there. After calling the police and informing them the location of the murder suspect she got out of the car and decided to follow the two sisters. Entering the alley she tried to see what was going on when something collided against her skull sending her crashing into some trash cans and rendering her unconscious.

Piper went over to the unconscious girl as Phoebe moved into a fighting position between her sister and the killer. The green haired girl seemed more intent on toying with them then fighting. She was sporadic, wild, and there was no rhyme or reason to her movements meaning she took every hit Phoebe threw out, but took just as much damage. For every time Phoebe threw a punch the girl would lash out her by scratching or a palm strike, laughing wildly all the time. That chaotic and wild nature of the girl was unnerving to say the least.

Whipping her head back so her hair seemed to drop back behind her leaving her face framed perfectly instead of a tangled mess like expected the girl grinned. ''You really are fun...I knew I was being gypped. Can't let you three die yet.'' she said as she cradled her arms and began humming a nursery. ''So I'll help you find your sister.'' she offered without Piper or Phoebe having to mention their purpose.

''Why? Aren't you working with Roger?'' Phoebe asked as she pressed her palm against her cheek where the green haired girl had punched her.

''Who the mortal?'' the green haired demon asked as she rested her chin on her fist. ''Oh yeah...the midget demon borrowed some powers from a few demons who owed him. Humans are so simple and easy to manipulate. But no I'm not working with them...stinking cheaters...they gypped me. They said you two would be weak and broken, but you're not. Why should I feed on such miniscule dread and misery when I can bag the whole thing later. So once you take miss sleepy to the hospital come back here and I'll be waiting.'' she said as she plopped down on a trashcan, nearly falling over and just catching herself.

Phoebe went over to Piper and the unconscious Paige and crouched over, whispering to her sister her thoughts. ''That woman was bonkers! Can we really trust her?''

''We don't have much of a choice.'' Piper reluctantly admitted. ''I don't trust her either, but Prue is in danger and I'm sure if she was up to something then she would have attacked us by now or have her allies ambush us.'' Piper sent a pointed glance in the demon's direction who seemed fascinated with the sky. ''Besides someone is eventually going to stumble upon us and it's going to be kind of difficult to explain.'' as much as they hated the position they were in from Phoebe's premonition they knew that didn't have much time. Though taking her to the hospital and having to come up with a lie for what happened and chancing Paige waking up and blowing that lie wasn't something they could risk so they left the girl with Tanjella, while quickly making some power stripping potions in case the demon's offer to help them was a trap. So after calling for Allison so she could heal Prue if it was needed they made their trip to the underworld which looked like any sort of generic cave from your typical live action series about monsters, demons, and magic. Damp. Rocky, and just dull more or less. ''Follow me...follow me...I know where to go.'' the emerald hair demon chirped.

In another part of the Underworld. ''Lying! You're lying you stinking bitch!" Roger snarled as he was not pleased by what the Oracle who was gazing into her crystal told her.

''Watch what you say or else a certain demon or warlock might get the idea of eliminating you will lead to improving their life.'' The chesty and very attractive Oracle remarked as she ran her fingers through her long lustrous brown curls. ''Like I told you before when I read her palm and I see the same thing every time. No matter how I divine it I see that witch with a blond male...not bad on the eyes I might add.'' the oracle added with a small smile. ''Hey!" she shouted as Roger grabbed the table and flipped it over, dropping her crystal as well shattered on the ground.

The Trio and the demon were searching around. ''This way!'' the emerald hair demon said as she turned a right down another corridor that looked like the others.

''No! Roger! Stop!'' Prue's panic cried echoed from down a corridor. Without needing to exchange words the girls burst into the room where in a rage Roger was in the process of trying to rape Prue after the Oracle's vision triggered a psychotic break.

Throwing up her hands Piper froze the bastard which was followed up with Phoebe running over and flinging him off of her. ''Prue!'' Piper and Phoebe ran over to their sister and enveloped her in a hug causing her to hiss.

''Oh god...sorry.'' Piper whispered as she moved back and checked Prue over. ''W-What did he do to you?''

''Look I'm okay...just get this damn necklace off of me and free me from the chain and ball

.'' Prue said as she was ready to unleash her full fury on Roger once the object that was limiting her powers was removed.

''Traitorous bitch!'' Roger snarled at the emerald haired demon.

''Was never your ally in the first place human! Have fun in hell!'' she chirped and blew a raspberry as she skipped on her way, leaving the Charmed Ones to deal with the man on their own.

''I'll kill you...I'll kill all of you!'' Roger snarled a she created two copies of himself and charged them.

''Piper!" Phoebe cried out as she yanked the necklace off and over Prue's head.

''I got it!'' Piper cried as she began recalling Naruto's attempt to teach her one of the basic academy jutsu.

''It's called the clone Jutsu!'' he remarked as he did the hand seals and formed a dying clone. ''I can't do it because of the amount of chakra I have, but I'm sure you can pull it off because of your small reserves. The clone jutsu creates images of you to use as distraction as your enemy will waste valuable attacking them instead of you.'' he said as he went over to a bench and sat on it while Piper took a deep breath and softly exhaled. She thought doing the things with her hand was sort of weird, but Naruto assured her with enough time she would be able to do the technique without the hand seals once she found the perfect balance of chakra along with the correct flow.

Piper felt the whole thing was odd. Unlike her magic which usually came out in a single powerful burst the chakra flowed through her body like an ocean whose waves began to pick up. Slowly the chakra pulled out of her like a powerful as it began to take shape which was masked by a puff of smoke that was usually created by the by-product of a very brief heat that was generated from the energy and soon gave birth to a very pale and slightly shorter version of Piper.

''Hey...not bad.'' Naruto said as Piper checked out her copy until it exploded in a burst of chakra and magic which caused Piper's watch to stopped and the insects on the ground to freeze in place. ''Looks like you need a bit more work.'' he commented as Piper sheepishly grinned.

Piper created some clones of her own and sent them forward resulting in them quickly exploding and resulting in Roger being frozen. ''I can't find a way to get these damn things off!'' Piper shouted as she pulled at the cuffs around Prue's ankle. ''Piper look for a key!'' Phoebe shouted to her elder sister who reached into Roger's pants pocket with a key.

''Catch!'' Phoebe snatched the key out of the air and began freeing Prue from her confines as Allison finished healing Prue's injuries.

Piper's molecular immobilization faded as Roger began summoning water to attack. ''I'll drown all of you!''

''Now!'' Piper shouted as she and people yanked the power stripping potion from their trouser pockets and threw the potion at Roger's feet. Sparks erupted as flames soon began to encircle him. Shrieks erupted from Roger's mouth as flames soon engulfed him and a few moments later he emerged from the flames, powerless.

Throwing up his hands Roger tried to use any sort of power he could but it was useless. ''No...my power!'' he dropped down to his knees.

''So amusing...seeing you there sitting so weak and helpless." Prue echoed Roger's early taunt as she moved to in front of him.

''N-Now Prue...be reaso...'' a single blow by Prue sent him reeling back, unconscious like any normal person would be if they were struck by a magically enhanced martial artist in training.

Prue looked at the unconscious form of her ex-boyfriend with a satisfied look on her face. Phoebe looked at her, concerned, and ventured, "Are you okay, honey?"

"I'm fine," Prue said. Everyone exchanged a worried look, but Prue didn't notice. All she knew was that Roger was not going to get off easy. That with an altered story and a memory altering potion he would be convicted of kidnapping, assault, and attempted sexual assault.

"We should probably get going," Allison said awkwardly. The trip back had been in silence and miraculously enough Prue had managed to stay strong through the filing charges process, but unusually quiet and guarded. Even to the point where her sisters suggested a series of events to an awakening Paige Matthews who was suffering from a slight concussion Prue went along with whatever was suggested. That much the younger Halliwells picked up on as they walked into Prue's room with a cup of coffee and a blanket.

"Prue? How are you?" Phoebe asked, worried about her sister's uncharacteristic quietness.

"I'm fine," Prue reiterated, sounding slightly annoyed. She wouldn't meet their eyes, however.

"Hun, it's okay to be upset," Piper told her Piper didn't know the extent of what Prue went through she knew that even if one didn't go through forced intercourse what she went through was highly traumatic.

"I'm not upset," Prue insisted. "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Phoebe wanted to know. "You can talk to us Prue. We're here for you...you can open up to us."

"I'm telling you, I'm fine. I'm... " Prue began faltering as she bit her bottom lip, trying to force down the feelings of grief, fear, and hopelessness that had built up during her stay in the underworld. Her eyes began to water as she broke out into a sob resting her head on Piper's shoulder she sobbed as Phoebe sat to her right and soothingly rubbing Prue's head to comfort her.

After a few days had passed since the incident and when Naruto returned from his trip. The moment he heard what happened to Prue he struggled between wanting to flash down to the police station and beat Roger to death or to comfort Prue. Though, his desire to be there for the latter won out as he brought her to a place that would help.

''How long are we going to be here?'' Prue fidgeting nervously as they waited outside the door of the office.

''As long as you need it Prue...'' he soothingly remarked as he rubbed her hand. ''Look Prue an incident like that isn't something you can shake and remain stable. You can't keep bottling things up as it'll only hurt you in the long run. So please do this...for me and your sisters.''

Normally stubborn Prue had relented as she had been having nightmares the past few days and her focus on her powers had been slipping. She realized witch or not, she was still human and one wouldn't be able to deal with repeated emotional draining incidents like that without needing to seek counseling.

The woman, Krista was pretty nice. She had curly red hair and wore black slacks, cream button up dress shirt and a pair of small rectangular glasses. After introductions were done Krista began the session.

''Where do you we should start?'' Prue asked as she sent a pointed glance at the door where Naruto was waiting outside. Remembering how badly she reacted when he first returned.

Prue had woken up that morning and went down to the kitchen to fix a cup of coffee. She had yet another nightmare and found herself unable to get back to sleep. Yawning she reached up and open a cupboard and took down a coffee, placing it on the counter meaning she was unaware of the presence behind. So when a pair of strong arms was wrapped around her it caused her to freeze in place.

''Now I got you where I want you!'' a voice seductively purred in her ear.

''LET ME GO! GET AWAY FROM ME!'' She shrieked as images of the past flashed to the forefront of her mind. She violently lashed out sending various kitchen instruments at the intruder causing him to jump back in surprise.

''Prue? What the hell?'' the person demanded as he avoided several kitchen knives.

Spinning around and placing her hands against the counter she calmed her rapidly beating heart as she realized Naruto had returned. ''Prue...'' he softly murmured upon seeing how pale she was. A moment later Piper entered the kitchen and went to comfort her sister.

''Are you alright Prue?''

''I'm fine...I...just freaked a little.''

''I...what happened?'' Naruto wondered as Phoebe entered the kitchen as well.

''Something happened while you were gone...'' she gently uttered as Naruto was sat down in a chair as the sisters began explaining what happened over the course of the past few days.

"Well, I understand that you are having trouble sleeping and are having nightmares. Can you tell me about the nightmares first?"

"It's usually the same nightmare. Of my Ex...Roger...hurting me and that no one is coming to my rescue. That my sisters can't find me in time or that Naruto would abandon me in disgust.'' she admitted and bit her bottom lip as Krista adjusted herself in her chair.

''Now why would you think Naruto would abandon you in disgust?''

''Because I was weak!'' she angrily snapped as tears threatened to fall. ''I should have been able to do something. I should have used my power to send Roger flying and render him unconscious but I panicked. ''

''Have you ever talked to anyone about these fears?''

''I talked with Piper who kept ensuring me that it wasn't my fault, but it was! What kind of big sister can't protect her little sister?''

Picking up on how hard Prue was being on herself Krista picked up there was something more to this. ''You're human Prue. No one is invincible and from what I understand that man used your greatest fear against you. And you perceive that helplessness as being weak. You feel that you're supposed to protect your sisters from everything, but you couldn't in this one instance, right?"

"Right."

"I think you have to think about the fact that you're not alone. Your sisters and Naruto; they love you and support you Prue so you don't have to take on everything on your own. You need to find comfort in the fact that they are there to pick you up when you fall and if you make a mistake they won't hate you.'' she concluded as Prue relaxed a little. ''But that's not all going to be solved in a single session. Because Naruto brought you here time must move slower in your dimension so we can take as long as we need to talk about anything you need too. I also specialize in cases that deal with Post traumatic Stress disorder and have a group you can attend. I won't push you into it, but I think going to a group and sharing what happened could be beneficial.'' Krista informed Prue who responded by saying she would think about it as they continued their session.

The Prue from the flashback was obviously Teenage Prue (the one into bad boys) and thinking back to this episode I came up with this scenario and why Prue went from being a guardian to the Teen Party girl Prue to the slightly over protective Prue we know of Canon.

The only counseling in the show was marriage counseling and I always thought that it would have been nice in the early years the sisters sought some form of counseling or confide in some fellow witches...something to show the emotional and mental strain of suddenly being aware of a world of magic and having entire legion of beings trying to kill them, responsible for killing their relatives, trying to kidnap the children, losing a sibling, and a whole bunch of other shit.

From what we see most people knew from day one they were magical or only dealt with a fraction of the stuff the sisters did over the course of their lives which would have caused a lot of emotional wear which only seemed to be brought up as a part of the plot instead of focusing it on the turmoil of the characters and showed them dealing with it from episode to episode.

My thoughts: Charmed Witches-Especially post season three really dumped on what Witches are supposed to be. Healers, teachers, and spiritual guides who aren't the white and black morality followers shown in the show. (Why Constance Burge! Why did you leave the show in the hands of people who only care about fanservice, half-baked plots, and focused more on the love lives instead of bonds of sisterhood.)

Anyway this original episode I came up with is for the purpose of having the Charmed Ones transform into real Witches by blending the traditional witch Mythos and the Charmed Ones mythos as currently the Charmed Ones are magical practitioners with powerful psychic abilities who have powerful affinity for magic like many other beings.

Also the demons in Charmed looked demonic and have power but they aren't demons. (Most look human so yeah.) In the context of this story while some will be descendant of demons we will of course see real demons, but until then most of the Charmed Demons we know seemed to be nothing more than extremely powerful sorceress with the ability to shape shift, control time, manipulate elements, and powerful psychic abilities; same with a majority of the good forces and considering many beings from other realities have most of the same abilities and aren't considered magical in the context that same belief will be used in this story as the ancient ancestors of many of these magical denizens.
