Piper wanted to scream at anyone or anything. She could almost feel Paige looking at her wondering what she would do.

"We have to let her know." Paige thought out loud

"And how are we suppose to do that Paige. We don't even know who it is we are fighting here." Piper replied taking in a deep breath. She was trying to stay calm for both of them. "Paige I know you want to help but this is all still new to you. And I am not talking about just the Wicca part. Prue is the brains behind all this. She is the one that figures out the plan. It's her protective thing. That is why she wanted to go after Phoebe."

"So call Leo. Maybe they know something. And what about Penny? She must know something to help us. After all it is her this demon wants revenge on." Her mind was reeling on what to do. She had just found her family, she wasn't about to lose two of them now. Especially when she had so much to still learn from them.

Piper closed her eyes. When the demon left all she could think about as losing Prue and Phoebe. She wasn't thinking about how to get them back at that moment. Paige was bringing her back down from the spiral she was heading into.

She made her way to the trunk holding their Wicca supplies. Opening it up she pulled out the candles she needed setting them out on the floor. Lighting each one she didn't say a word.

Paige stood and watched, not really sure what Piper was doing. She could hear her almost mumbling to herself but was almost afraid to ask what she was doing. "Piper?"

"Come here, you gave me a good idea. There is someone that knows what the hell is going on and I intend to ask her." she took Paige's hand in her "Read this with me." She placed her free hand on the BOS. As they both read the words.

"Here these words.

Hear my cry spirit from the other side.

Come to me, I summon thee.

Cross now the Great Divide."

Piper waited as the white lights swirled inside the circle of candles.

"Hello darlings." She reached out, "Paige how is everything coming along?"

"Not bad Penny. Thanks.

"Ok Grams this isn't a social call. Why does some psycho demon think you stole her powers from her?" Piper asked out, wanting to figure out how to get her sisters back alive.

"Piper darling what are you talking about?" Grams looked at her granddaughters. "And where are Prue and Phoebe?" she noticed the absence of two of her granddaughters.

Piper wanted to shake her grams, "Some demon grabbed Phoebe down at the Swamp Land Park and then she came here and told us that one of us had to save her by finding their way through a maze of some sort. Only it seems now that she left out the fact that as Prue makes her way through this maze she will lose her life's essence. And it sounds like Phoebe is also in danger by something. Ring any bells?"

Grams moved away from Piper and Paige and looked out the window. "This can't be. We banished her. We stripped her of her powers."

Piper looked over at her Grams as she spoke quietly to herself. "Grams. Who?" she didn't know how much time she had before it was too late.

Grams turned slowly and met Pipers eyes. "It was an upper level demon. She uses very painful methods of sucking the powers and life out of a witch. Actually it wasn't her that did that. It was this being that worked with her. She would use her magic to bring them to this beast. It could shape itself into anything, but it was still very much alive." She paused gathering her thoughts. "Her power was to steal a innocents or witches life essence. But we bound her powers how is this possible?"

"I have no idea but it looks like maybe she got some back." Piper told her.

"No. She didn't" Paige thought.

"Paige she is going to do that to Prue."

"No, she said as she went along the maze she would. So maybe she found a way to have her power work on some other level. Maybe somehow with this beast or being or whatever it is." Paige flipped through the book, "Maybe she used a spell or something to use her powers through this maze. And once it reaches a level it can no longer handle she can transfer it back to her." she looked up at Piper and Grams, "Is that possible?"

"Residue from when we stripped her power. There was no way to vanquish her. There wasn't enough power."

"So maybe her powers where left behind, and now she is using them another way."

"Grams you said you banished her?" Piper looked from Paige to Grams.

"Yes, after we stripped her powers we banished her to another plane."

"And I am betting now there is enough power to vanquish her" Paige decided,

"The Power of Three can. And now she as found away to get back here and now she wants her powers back." Piper followed her sister's line of thought.

"And revenge on me for doing that to her." Grams turned way from Paige and Piper.

"And to get to you she has gone after Phoebe and Prue." Piper finished.


"Phoebe!" her voice echoed off the damp tunnels around her. She had been walking around for hours. Few torches lit her path but she kept going. She had taken the first torch she saw from its holder. She didn't know if they were just there or through out. She had called out for her sister every now and then hoping that maybe she was nearby and would hear her.

"She can't hear you Prue." The voice came from the darkness but it was everywhere.

"Can't face me?" Prue looked around everywhere.

The figured emerged from seemingly no where. "You can call me Rhona, and if you want to see your baby sister again I suggest you figure out this little maze of mine." She placed her hand on the wall. "It was made in my absence. An absence caused by Penny Halliwell. My power lives inside the walls. But it will still do my bidding as if it flowed through me." She stepped closer to Prue her deep purple robe swirled around her, her jet back hair hung straight over her back, "I say you have about five hours before Phoebes powers and life starts to slip away."

As Prue glared at the demon before her she felt her power rushing through her. But she was too late; Rhona was gone.

Prue fumed inside but held the torch up above her. Getting a better look around her. From where she stood there were four passages. She didn't know which one to take or even where to begin. She started towards the one on the far right hoping it would be the right one.

Once again she walked taking turns at crosses she hoped where right. She had been walking an hour and was no closer to finding her sister.

"Well witch what say. You must be on the right path if you are running into me." His voice low and threatening as he watched her with his three eyes.

"What are you some little test? I have to get past you to get to my sister?" she moved with caution around the circular join in the maze.

"You won't be finding your sister until you are both dead. Because there is no way you are getting past me."

"So you are a test. Or obstacle. A smelly one at that." Her power flowed through with practiced ease, as she slammed her power into him sending him sailing across the carvern against the nearest wall. The crack of his neck was all she needed to hear before stepping towards the next passage.

She was getting tired with each step but after killing the demon she felt worse. Worn out. She suddenly wanted to lie down and sleep. But she knew she had to keep going.


Rhona sensed where she was. "Not bad. Seems your sister might just make it. Though by the time she gets to you she will be nothing if her shell."

Phoebe looked around once again trying to find the figure in the fog and mist. She would come in and taunt her now and then. Or the demon that appeared to her and Prue in the manor would. None of them would say who would come but she knew it was Prue.

She sat in the middle of the cell and every now and then she could almost feel something touching and reaching out to her.

"She will get here in time, and when she does she is going to vanquish your sorry asses!" she cried out to the darkness. But she got no reply back.

It was then she felt the same brush against her but this time it gripped her arm tight digging into her flesh. But there was nothing there. it was then her world started to spin out of cotrol the ringing in her ears got louder as her sight got black and white.

Prue walking with her hand on the wall. Pushing herself to go on till she fell. A demon came from the shadows looking down at her. "At last I have my revenge." As he pushed the body over. The blank expression screaming out at death."

The ringing continued as the grip on her arm tightened again before she let herself fall to the ground crying in pain for herself and for the death of her sister.
