Paige made her away across the attic and stood next to Prue, as Piper made her way over to Phoebe and placed her arm around her waist.

"Feeling better?"

"A bit." She replied as she rested her head on Pipers shoulder.

Paige looked up and saw the affection between Piper and Phoebe. She wondered to herself if one day she to would have that bond between her sisters.

"Here he is." Prues voice broke any silence around them as Phoebe and Piper made their way to the book.

"That's him. Right down to that scar on his cheek." Phoebe affirmed.

"Looks like a lower level demon," Piper read, "What is he doing coming here?"

"That is what I would like to know." Prue answered, "Leo!"

"Maybe he is working for someone. To get your attention?" Paige put in as she read about the newest demon in her own life.

Phoebe placed her hand on Paige's shoulder, "Paige most lower level demons are not that smart, but they are smart enough to stay way from us."

"I was just thinking. I mean after what you and Prue said, it just sounded to easy. He came in and didn't even fight you two. And from what you all have told me, all the demons want a piece of you."

Phoebe looked up at Piper and then to Prue. Somewhere inside she knew that Paige had a good point. "Maybe."

"Leo!" Prue called out again not wanting to listen to what anyone else was saying around her

The white and blue sparkles filled the one spot in the attic, as Leo became whole again. He first spotted Piper and wanted nothing more then hold her in his arms. "Hi."

"Hi." She locked eyes with him forgetting in that one moment the problem they had.

"Ok, hello Leo you got more then one charge in this house." Prue shot out taking charge.

"Sorry." He gathered himself, "What's going on?"

"Prue and Phoebe were attacked by this." Paige answered pointing her hand to the page with the demon in question.

"And we want to know why?" Prue finished as she looked at Leo waiting for an answer.

Leo stepped over to the book; "Well demons always want your powers. Maybe its that simple." He surmised.

"Not with this demon." Paige intervened. "According to this he usually works for upper level demons or demons on the out."

"Like a scavenger." Phoebe added in.

Leo studied the page carefully. "I think I know this demon. Or know of him."

"Care to share Leo?" Prue put in wanting the answer's to protect her family.

"I'll go and check, but I know I have seen him before." he disappeared leaving them all to wonder who the demon was and why Leo knew him.

Phoebe cradled the BOS on her lap long after they had left the attic. She had told them she was going to bed but she had snuck back up to the attic and was studying the book once again. She knew there was more to this demon then what she and Prue had seen and what was in the book. She had seen him somewhere else in the book as well; she just had to find out where.

--- ----

Piper brought in the tray of coffee to keep them all alert in case their friend came back.

"So let me get this straight Prue. He just appeared behind you?" Piper asked sitting on the chair across from her two older sisters on the couch.

"Like he didn't even care whose house this was." Prue stated as she took a drink of her coffee. "I don't get it, I mean you would think after more then a year we would be on some demon map with a warning."

"Well from what you guys have told me they all want one thing. And every now and then you are going to get the odd demon that takes the risk for it all." Paige added in.

"She's right." Piper agreed with Paige.

"I know." Prue stated, "So what are we going to do about it is more the question?"

--- ----

Phoebe flipped the next page looking for any further clues. "Got you, you son of a bitch." She gathered the book in her arms and headed down the stairs. "Ok I got him. I knew I saw him in here."

"Phoebe you are supposed to be sleeping." Prue snapped as she met her sister nearly half way.

"Yeahyeah. I found that bastard in the book."

"Um Phoebe hello we were there." Paige shot back, not seeing where her sister was going.

"No I knew I had seen him in there somewhere before. Look." She flipped open the book to the page she had bookmarked.

Prue, Piper and Paige looked at the open page.

"So that means what?" Paige asked.

"It means that he was setting us up." Prue answered her older sister. "That what ever he wants he is working for someone else to trap us."

"SO now what do we do?" Piper looked at Prue for some guidance.

Prue felt the stare of al three sister on her. She may no longer be the oldest but she felt the weight of it on her still. "We figure out who he is working for." She saw the concern in al their faces. But she knew inside it was something that they would work out.

"What is taking so long?"

"They are witches my dear, overly cautious by nature."

"They should have figured it out by now. Figured out who he was."

"As I said. Overly cautious. They probably have their whitelighter checking for them."

She paced through the dank fog around her, she could feel her victory but needed the witches to make it complete. "I can almost feel them."

"As can I my dear. Soon their desire to help innocents will lead them here." He could feel her inner desire as much as his own and knew that soon they would all be free from their living hell the witch had banished them too.

"Piper, you and Paige go over to her place and get anything she might need for a couple of days, then come back. I'll stay here and make sure a certain someone gets some sleep before we all go demon hunting."

"Prue..." Phoebe started to protest but her sister cut her off.

"What Phoebe? You are wiped out I can tell. Now come on all I am asking is an hour maybe more. Then we can go get this guy and his master."

"She's right Phoebe. Go get some sleep." Paige and Piper both said, before they both left the Manor, sharing a look between the two of them.

Phoebe started up the stairs, "this sucks. I thought it was bad enough with Prue and Piper, now I have three older sister ordering me around."

Prue stifled a laugh that was threatening to escape as she heard her baby sister.

--- ----

Phoebe lay in her bed tossing and turning. She didn't want to sleep but she knew now Prue was acutely aware of her movements in the Manor. But as she lay there her world suddenly became black and white. The ringing in her ears was pounding the inside of her head. As she cried out even as the pictures played through her mind.

Prue rushed through the closed door to her sister. It felt like old days when they were young and Phoebe had a bad dream.

"Phoebe." She reached out and took her sister in her arms. Waiting for a few moments for Phoebe to regain her barrings before she pushed. "Talk to me Phoebe."

"It was the park. He killed them. Not even hesitating."

"Who?" Prue asked though she had a feeling she knew who. Otherwise he wouldn't have made an appearance in their living room earlier that day.

"Prue we have to do something." Phoebe almost begged her sister.

"Ok. Come on." Prue helped Phoebe up as they made their way downstairs, leaving the Manor, Prue grabbed her purse and cell phone on the way out.

As soon as Prue and Phoebe arrived near the shores Prue scanned around and called Piper on her own cell. Quickly explaining to her sister what Phoebve ahd seen and what was going on. "Look Piper just meet us there."

"Prue don't do anything till we get there. It might take the power of three, or four." She added looking over at Paige.

"Just get here, we will wait, but he might not." She added ending the call.

Phoebe saw the look on Prues face and knew that Paige and Piper were on their way. But inside she felt as if it would all be to late. "They aren't going to make it."

"Just relax Phoebe they will be here." Pure answered but the scream broke her thoughts.

"Don't think so." Phoebe cried out as she burst out of Prue car towards the sound.

"Damn it. Phoebe wait!" Prue yelled out making after her sister.

Phoebe made her way cautiously along the planked walkway. Each step she took with unease.

"Phoebe."

"Prue I am right in front of you."

"Yeah great. If I could see you."

The fog swirled around them as they stepped further along the walk. The cattails bordered the walk as the fog fingered through each branch. The lap of the water underneath echoed off each step she took.

"Phoebe stop." Prue called out so she could at least reach her sister.

Prue stopped as no answer came back to her.

"PRUE!"

"PIPER! On the walk way." She called back though still keeping her eye out for Phoebe. Deep inside she had a bad feeling.

Piper made her way through the fog to Prues voice but met her at the end of a platform.

"Where's Phoebe?" Piper asked, as Paige too emerged from the fog looking around her as best she could.

"I don't know." was all Prue could say, as she looked out to the bull rushes, cattails and dense fog over the swamp.

In the distance they could hear the unrest of crocodiles but no sign of the youngest Halliwell.
