The pain hadn't subsided as she felt her world come back into focus as the lights from above her glared brightly, as she tried to stir awake. She felt someone next to her and hoped it was Phoebe, but as her eyes came into focus her heart dropped as she looked into an unfamiliar face.

"Easy. Don't try and move around to fast."

Julia closed her eyes again, as the pain in her arm and focused. Eventually getting to a sitting up position with the help of the person next to he. "Where am I?"

"Hell." A voice from the back replied. Julia could hear the fear anger and sarcasm in her voice.

"Trudy. Be quiet."

"Why? I'm just telling her the truth."

"Not now!" she said with gritted teeth. As she glared at the woman in the corner.

Trudy glared back before opening what appeared to be a door and slammed it shut behind her.

Julia cast her eyes around, as she sat up against the wall. She gasped when she saw what and who she was looking for. She looked so much worse now in the different light. More so then she had hoped. To the point Julia nearly lost hope.

The woman who had been at her side when she woke saw the look of fear on her face, "She's ok. She just needs time to heal. Only she might not get it here. They weed out the weak."

"Phoebe is anything but weak." Julia said as she pushed herself to get her legs working and over the side of the small cot.

"Let me help you." She wrapped her arm around her waist and guided her to the cot where Phoebe lay.

Julia sat on the small stool that was beside her and placed a fresh cloth on her forehead, "Hang on Phoebe. You have to believe that your sisters will find us."

She took another cloth and wiped away some of the blood that had caked up on her face, and then some more around her abdomen. Julia noticed that the bleeding had finally stopped but she knew it would take some time for Phoebes wounds to heal fully.

She came up beside her and sat down, "The name is Roberta by the way. My friends and everyone here calls me my Bobbie."

"Hi."

"Friend of yours?" Bobbie looked over at Phoebe.

"You could say that. I was her boyfriend's assistant and we met each other through him. But we became friends."

"I see. And where is the boyfriend now?"

Julia closed her eyes as she remembered Jason. In the plane crash she had no idea where he would be now. "I don't know. He was on the plane with us."

"With you? Only the two of you were brought in with the soldiers." Bobbie was confused.

"No, he wouldn't have come in no matter what. He was in a casket in the cargo area."

Bobbie felt embarrassed suddenly as she had opened a wound that might have stayed closed. "I'm so sorry."

"Thank you." Julia replied quietly as she held her gaze at Phoebe, "So where are we anyway?"

"Well I could say like Trudy said, in Hell, but that would be the easy answer. The actual answer would be, I have no idea. Other then it is an island somewhere in the south pacific."

"And our captures are?"

Bobbie didn't know where to even begin. She knew she had to tell her the truth. She had ever right to know, "Would you believe me if I told you they were the descendants of Japanese soldiers from the second world war who actually believe we are still at war?"

Julia looked at her stunned. "Its 2003. The Second World War has been over for almost 60 yrs!"

"I know. But it seems that they have lived in this little pocket of the world with no knowledge of what was going on around them. It isn't just them, there are Germans her as well."

"How the hell could you go 60 yrs with no knowledge of the outside world?" Julia asked shocked.

"I have no idea, but after three years I've learned to deal with it."


Piper stirred in her sleep as a nightmare consumed her. All she could see was her sister hurt and getting worse.

"You will bow to me witch!" the whip snapped out as her sister stood her ground.

"Go to hell!" Phoebe spat back in defiance. She would not let him break her.

Suddenly the picture changed and he was holding what looked like the soul of her oldest sister Prue. "You will or your sisters soul will pay the price. The price of spending her after life in the underworld. A witch with her powers would be a easy target for those she had already vanquished."

Phoebe pulled on the chains that held her in place, fighting to free her sister, "Let her go you bastard!"

The whip snapped again as Phoebe flinched in pain, but again the picture changed, as she was sitting alone in a small box out in the hot sun. Sometime in the evening or day she was taken way from the sun as the clouds rolled in and the rains came. She sat shivering in the corner trying to keep warm by any means possible.

The combination of the heat and the wetness was finally too much for her as she got sick.

As she got sicker, she got weaker. She couldn't work as fast as the others, and soon she found herself in the pits more and more. And eventually it was just to much.

Piper sat up quickly as her heart raced. She held her hand to her chest hoping to slow it down, but it didn't work. She had felt something in her dream or nightmare. Something she hadn't felt in a few weeks.


Morning came as Piper prepared breakfast in the kitchen waiting for Paige to arrive. She had to tell her what had happened the night before with her nightmare.

"Morning Piper." Paige greeted her as she entered the kitchen

"Paige. I need to tell you something." Piper was straight to business.

Paige looked up and couldn't help but be curious despite, that Piper had forgotten the good morning part of their morning ritual. But then again their morning ritual had changed ever since Phoebe had gone missing.

Paige looked up with interest, "Share Sis."

"I had a nightmare about Phoebe."

Paige knew what was coming next. Or so she thought.

"She is alive Paige I know it. Prue was telling me she was with her. But that was only till we found her. Prue can only protect her so much. We have to find her."

"Piper." Paige started, yet she was hesitant to agree with Piper, as much as she wanted to believe her sister was still alive after all these weeks.

"Paige she is. And she was not doing well. They were torturing her and leaving her in the elements of the weather."

"Piper. Could it be..."

"Paige either you are with me or not, but Phoebe is alive and I have full intentions on finding her." Piper snapped, as she stormed from the room heading to the BOS hoping it would help her in her quest
