Leo looked from Cole to Victor.

"We have to go find them. Pipers flickering in and out of my range and Phoebe I can sense is worried. And.." he stops as she looks at Cole

"And what Leo?"

"I think she's hurt."

"WHAT?!" Cole and Victor glared at him

"Leo why didn't you say something?" Cole asked as he stepped up to the whitelighter. "Where is she?"

Leo closed his eyes again. Sensing nothing now he instantly got worried.

"Leo?"

"I think she was at the cemetery."

"You think?" this time it was Victor that got angry. "That's my daughters out there. Aren't you supposed to be their whitelighter? Knowing where they are is one of your duties for crying out loud."

"Don't you think I know that Victor? I lost her for one of three reasons. She is either blocked from something, she is unconscious or.." Leo let his meaning hang there long enough for Cole to react.

"She's not dead Leo." Cole said as he instantly shimmered out.

Leo didn't even wait for Victor to protest as he orbed out after Cole.

Leo quickly adjusted his eyes in the darkness around him. He tried to get his barring in the cemetery crematorium. It was then he noticed the figure standing by the wall. Hands placed firmly to the marble. And saying something in a rhythm very quietly.

"Piper! NO!" he yelled out as he ran towards her.

Cole turned to where Leo was calling to Piper and could see her chanting softly. He reacted quickly in the only way he could. For he knew that neither Leo or himself would get to her before she finished. He reached out and threw a small low energy bolt towards her. Hitting the wall right beside her causing her to step back. Breaking her chant.

Piper spun on her heals and glared at Cole.

"How dare you!" she yelled as she flung out her hands exploding the vase that was next to where he had been standing.

"Piper you can't do this. You can't bring her back." Leo said as he approached his wife with care. He had yet to even see Phoebe and was afraid for the youngests safety as well.

"Yes I can Leo!' she said with determination.

--- ----

He watched from the distance as he stood over the unmoving form of the youngest witch. He could kill her right then. It would be so easy. He could deliver two of the witches to the Source and kill the one that remained.

He drew the astheme from his buckle and twirled with it as he watched her. He looked up and saw Piper starting her chant once again. This time there would be nothing to stop her. But as he turned back to Phoebe he heard the cry and then saw the bolt hitting the wall.

He brought his arm down making contact with his blade as he then quickly jumped up and headed towards Piper. "Piper we have to leave now." He said as he tried to get her attention without revealing where he was.

"I have to finish this."

"Not now. We can come back after. They have other things that will be on their mind now." He said knowing they would be worried about Phoebe.

She looked at Leo and then to Cole. They both locked her gaze as she suddenly turned and ran from the crematorium. As she ran out she ran right past her sisters unmoving form. She took in glance at her as she kept running. She never even noticed the blood that was spilling to the floor.

"Piper!" Leo called as he ran after her, with Cole right on his heals. But as they ran around the corner they both stopped.

"Phoebe!" Cole cried as he ran to her and cradled her body in his arms. "Leo do something."

Leo watched as Piper ran from the building but drew his attention to his sister in law. She was the one then that needed his help as he took one last look up as the door closed slowly and softly, as he then drew his attention to Phoebe. Holding his hands over her as the golden glow that was so familiar to him ran through his hands and over her.

She felt the warm glow as she had many times before, but something else just felt wrong. She gasped as she felt the pain leaving her body.

"Oh Phoebe. I thought I'd lost you." Cole cradled her in his arms, fearing again that he had lost the one that had stolen his heart.

Phoebe held him tight as she remembered what happened. "Piper." She said as she pulled away from Cole.

"She's gone Phoebe." Leo said as he looked back at the door.

"Did she?' Phoebe asked afraid of what Leo would say.

"No. Thank God." He said standing up and taking a hesitant step forward.

Cole helped Phoebe stand, who cringed slightly from the pain. "You ok?"

"Yeah just a bit stiff from the fight I had with Piper."

"Lets get you home. Your father is probably having an aneurysm about now." He said as he wrapped his arms around her. Holding her tight to him. Never wanting to let her go.

Leo heard them talking but he still starred at the door where Piper had run out. He couldn't believe she would just leave Phoebe like that. Closing his eyes he sighed and orbed back to the Manor. He had a feeling that something was about to happen and he wanted to be ready when it did.

She paced like a caged animal. She was so close. She could feel the power reache out to her as she said every word. How dare Phoebe try and stop her. Did she not want Prue back? "I can't believe she tried to stop me."

"She doesn't want her back as much as you. This is her chance to be free of her older sister. Her rules, her orders, her protective side. She wants to be her free self as she was when she was younger."

Piper listened to his words. They were true from her standpoint. Phoebe always did resent Prue for the way she was. Her protectiveness of them. Her, I'm in charge demeanor.

"You are the only one who really wants her back Piper. But when you do. Phoebe will support what you've done."

He could tell that his words where getting through to her. He just needed to get her back there to complete the task. But he knew that they couldn't yet. He had to make sure that Belthazor and his witch were gone. Though he knew that the youngest Charmed One would not be a problem soon enough.

Cole paced back and forth as Phoebe looked through the BOS. He had lost track of time since they had even come up there. Phoebe was determined to get to the bottom of this whole thing right then and there.

Leo had come up to see if they learned anything new. Piper was reacting different than any other witch that had turned to dark magic. She had also turned on her sister. No other witch had turned, to that extent, on their family.

Leo returned to find Cole still pacing and Phoebe still turning the pages. He watched in concern as the young witch flipped each page, determined to save the sister she had left. But she seemed paler than usual.

Phoebe flipped more pages and got more frustrated. She wanted to find the demon that was turning her sister to black magic. "There! That's the son of a bitch that was with Piper."

Leo and Cole both looked over her shoulder to the face of the demon on the page.

"Shit." Cole said as he looked down at the picture.

"What?" Leo looked at him his fear for his wife rising.

"That's Drofnas. He is the brother of the demon I was telling you about. The one that gets witches to turn to black magic. Only Drofnas is more dangerous."

"How? He is turning my sister and when she brings back Prue I'll lose them both."

"No. It's not Piper I'm concerned with right now."

"Excuse me. My sister is out there somewhere learning how to use black magic that could trap hers and Prues souls with the Source for all eternity, and you're standing there telling me you are not worried about her." Phoebe glared at him. How could he be so callous?

"No. I care what happens to Piper. But he enjoys killing witches a bit too much and when he does it, it's very slow and very painful. But it's not only Piper he has targeted. It's you too."

"What? Me? Piper is the one trying to bring back our dead sister. Cursing them both to hell."

"You don't understand Phoebe. You are the only one that can stop her from bringing Prue back. The astheme he stabbed you with was lined with a poison. Its works slowly, but eventually it will eat away at you and kill you."

Phoebe looked at him stunned at what he had just said, "But Leo..."

"Its can't be cured by a whitelighter."

"So. What I'm going to die?" she asked in disbelief.

Cole looked at Leo and then to Phoebe, "I'm sorry." Was all he could say. As he watched the expression on Phoebes face turn from worry for Piper to worry for herself.
