The ceremony was beautiful, people walked toward Prudence Halliwell's coffin saying their goodbyes. Piper and Phoebe stood up front shaking hand with her sister's old friends; both of them with no smiles, in place were silent sobs and the look of a night of crying.
There she stood. Barely noticed by anyone, she moved with the line. She thought to herself she never wanted to visit when it was the day her mother was dead. You can blame her after dropping off the face of the earth for several years. She knew one of the sisters would notice something about her but she wanted to hide. She wasn't supposed to be any where near them, she needed to hide or all the secrets would be out. The line advanced.
She stood in front of a pale skinned woman with dark brown hair who seemed to be feeling uneasy. She moved her hair black to the side and rubbed her blue eyes. She heard a ringing in her head and put to fingers on her temple to dull the sound. She looked up and saw Phoebe shaking hand with another person and Piper shaking hands with others as well. She thought to herself and thought she should just see Piper. Moving over to Piper, she too was uneasy.
"I'm sorry," she said to Piper as they shook hands. Piper wiped away her tear and looked at her noticing something. "Prue had her whole life ahead of her and maybe things would be different."
Piper nodded. "How did you know her?" Piper asked still awed by the girl's similarity to Prue.
How did I know her? She thought to herself stupidly before saying, "She helped me find my family a couple years ago." She didn't lie but she didn't exactly tell the whole truth either.
"That sounds like Prue," Piper said wiping away her tears. Somehow she felt like she was talking to Prue at that moment. "I miss her."
"I know," she said softly comforting Piper with her voice, which sounded so much like her mother's. Before Piper could say anything else she heard Cole calling to Phoebe and almost falling.
"I have to go," Piper said quickly and moved towards Phoebe.
There she stood looking around and saw the girl that was standing behind her run out of the door. She sprinted after her and looked back one last time to her mother's coffin. I love you. Once she got outside she lost sight of the girl that was behind her, knowing she could bring the Charmed Ones back. She looked around and knew on ground she couldn't be able to find her, so she scanned the area to see if anyone was looking before she orbed off.
"You shouldn't have gone Andrea," a loud echoing voice said as she orbed 'up there' into a big empty room.
Andrea shrugged. "It's my job to protect charges."
"We all had an agreement, you aren't a witch, you are a Protector, you father's blood proves it," the voice rang again with authority.
"I do what you guys want me to and I do what I want to do," Andrea said looking into no where in particular and began to leave. She turned around and said, "For the record I am a witch too." One day they are going to find out and by that time I am going to have to protect them.
