So it's my turn again, feel like ages since last time, lol. I would like to take a moment and thank each and every one of our readers and reviewers, we love you guys…

25. Now or never

"So what are we supposed to do? Stay in hiding at Andy's house until you turn 18?" Phoebe asked and I know she was trying to be though but I could hear the fear in her voice. She was just as scared as all of us were.

"No" I replied. "I just need to make sure you all know what's on stake here."

"Yeah like our lives" Paige mumbled from her position on the couch. Piper who was sitting next to her slid her arm around her baby sister, trying to be the strong one but I knew she too doubted.

I honestly didn't know what to do or say. Part of me wanted to run and hide and part of me wanted to rush over to the manor and just kill that bastard. Both sides trying to convince me to follow their advice which resulted in me just standing there, in the middle of Andy's living room.

The sound of the door opening and closing woke me up form my thoughts though and I spun around only to see Andy, Leo and Andy's parents standing in the hallway.

"Prue!" Ellen Trudeau said happily but her face fell a bit as she noticed my sisters as well. I bet we looked like a very sorry bunch.

"We tried to stop them" Andy said as he too entered the room with Leo soon behind.

"What are you all doing here?" Ellen asked as he eyes landed on Phoebe whose head was bandaged over her cut to Paige who was tiredly leaning on Piper, the marks on her neck slightly visible. "What happened to you?"

"I walked into a wall" Phoebe said with a little too much sarcasm in her voice.

"A very dirty, evil, hobo wall" Paige muttered under her breath without even looking up. She kept her eyes on her hands that were mixed with Piper's in her lap.

"Prue" Andy dragged me with him into the hallway away from the others. "What's going on here?"

"He attacked Paige and Phoebe at the house" I said and avoided his eyes.

"You have to do something about this" Andy said and lifted my chin so that my eyes met his. "You have to call the police."
"I am doing something" I replied sternly.

He didn't even seem to notice that I wasn't even mentioning the police. He just sighed and pulled me close in a hug. I rested my head on his shoulder, trying to avoid the thought that this might be the last time I see him. If Sevron killed me then this could be the last time I ever got to feel his arms around me, the last time he would stroke my hair… his head lowered closer towards min and our lips met…the last time that we kissed?

I wished I didn't have to do this, I wished that I wasn't a witch, that Sevron had never come to us, that grams had never died…that mum had never died…

"Prue" I slowly turned and saw Phoebe and Paige standing in the hallway. "We have to do this" Phoebe said with a weak smile.

"Okay" I let go of Andy's hand that was laced with mine…somehow it almost felt as if I was letting go of the on thing that kept me up right then.

"Where are you going?" Andy asked, the desperation clearly visible in his voice.

"Home…" I said. "…We're going home…"

--

"So what's the plan?" Piper asked as we together stood outside the big house that once was our home. The place where we could feel safe.

"I don't…" I began but Paige cut me off.

"I orb into the house and grab the book" she said.

I looked at her, my baby sister. She was 10 yet she was forced to grow up so fast, life sure wasn't fair.

"You're not going alone" I said.

Paige just looked at me, I know she probably felt as if I was trying to tell her what to do and she hated that.

"I just don't want you getting hurt" I said in a nicer voice. "Let me go with you and I can distract him if he's there."

"Fine" Paige held out her hand a bit uneasy towards me and without another word my sight became blurry with blur lights.

The next thing I know we are standing in Phoebe's bedroom and it felt like my inner organs had been moved around inside of me.

"I know it was in here" Paige mumbled as she dived under Phoebe's bed.

She threw out piles and piles of clothes, trash and a shoe or two before she came back out again.

"It's not here."

I looked around the room and even though it was a mess like no place other the book was so big I should have seen it. This would only mean one thing.

"He has it" I sighed.

"We should get back to the others" Paige said, I could see that she was not very eager to meet Sevron again. Not that I could blame her.

She once again orbed us back outside where Piper and Phoebe were waiting behind grams old rose bushes that right now looked like not even a miracle could bring them back to life.

"Did you get it?" Phoebe asked as soon as he orbed in.

I fell down onto the lawn and took comfort in the non-moving ground. "No it wasn't there."

"He stole our book?" Phoebe said angrily. "Oh he is so dead"

We all got up and moved up towards the house. We stood there and starred up at the large door before us.

"I guess this is it" I said, my voice shaking more then I would have wanted for it to. "It's now or never…"

"I guess never isn't really an option" Piper said quietly.

"No" I said, took a deep breath and threw my hands out making the front door fly open with a loud bang…It was now or never…I just hoped we were ready for this…
