Piper stood over the boiling pot as she tossed in the seaweed. "OK this smells disgusting." She said as she pulled back and waved off the smell coming from the pot, "Its going to take me a decade to get this smell out of my kitchen."

Paige looked up from the paper she was working on. "Well maybe we can make it all magically disappear."

"Paige." Piper looked at her oldest sister, "When are you going to learn? We can't use magic for personal gain."

"Well yeah, but it isn't really I mean we are doing this to save Prue and Phoebe. Preserving the Charmed Ones and the Power of Three." Paige looked innocent

"Power of Four." Piper corrected, "But I still don't think it will go over very well." She went back to the potion she was working on as her thoughts once again turned to her sisters.

Paige watched for a moment longer before she went back to her spell.

Was it hours or minutes before anyone spoke again? But they were broken from their tasks by the sparkle of white and blue lights appearing and slowly forming in the kitchen.

"How's it going?" he asked the room as he made his way over to Piper wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Potion is cooling and Paige is working on a spell." Piper answered as she cast her eyes towards her sister.

"Yeah working is the word. I wish I had spent more time with Phoebe in the writing a spell lesson."

"I didn't know she was teaching you." Piper said surprised.

"She wasn't. But she offered." Paige replied with a 'I'm sorry I didn't take her up on it' smile.

"You'll get it Paige. As Phoebe always said to Prue and I. Just let it come form the heart. It's in you to do it." Piper moved closer to Paige having broken herself from Leo's grasp. "Mind if I see?"

Paige looked at what she had before looking up at Piper. "Sure go ahead, but I think it sucks."

Piper laughed at Paige as she took the paper in her hand. She wasn't the greatest spell writer herself, but over the last year and a bit she knew a good one when she saw it. She had picked up on Phoebes words and felt some of her baby sister in each spell she wrote. As she read the spell in her hand now she saw the same thing, the same passion inside the words.

"Looks good to me." She handed the paper back to Paige. "So we have a spell and a potion. Are we set?"

"As we ever will I'm thinking." Paige replied as she felt a stir inside her. It was the same stir she had first gotten in the Manor when a demon attacked and Prue and Piper were kidnapped and hurt. She knew it was a mix of adrenaline and her own magic.

"Ok then, let's go find our sisters." Piper took Paige's hand in hers as they read the words written.

To save the essence of one so dear.

We call our magic to take us there.

To find our sisters, young and old.

We seek out those so bold.

Leo watched as a sparkle of light surrounded the two of them, before they disappeared. Closing his eyes he reached out to them with his love as their guide and with his love for Piper. But not sensing them made him nervous that something had already gone wrong.

Rhona stood just outside the cavern her anger boiling. "Don't even think about it Tradnon." She glared at the demon as he held the energy ball over the witch

He looked up quickly to see his lover just in the shadows. "I can end this now." He held the ball ready to end it.

"Not until I see Penny standing here and watching as I kill her granddaughter's."

"The other is already dead." He spoke casting a subtle eye at Phoebe lying on the ground, as he extinguished the energy in his hand.

"No, he is just playing." She moved closer into the cavern seeing the fog drifting around the youngest witch. "Like a cat with its mouse."

"I want the pleasure when the times come."

Rhona moved closer to him guiding her hand over his face and down his chest, "And you shall, but not yet. My power grows stronger with each step she gets to her sister. It is almost time, I can feel it. And once I have my power back in my body, Penny will have no choice but to come. And when she does. You can finish it."

She moved closer to Phoebe looking down at the witch. "Let her go. It isn't time yet."

"I want her power." His voice held the disappointment of a child having a toy taken away.

"And you will get it. But first I want my revenge and for that I need her alive."

She could sense his disappointment but knew he would heed her words. She watched as the fog drifted away but lurking just outside waiting for its chance to disobey.

"Everything." She spoke watching him. It was only her that could see the hands and the arms that reached out from the cage that held the witch. Only her that could truly control him as she did.

"All of you get back or it will be the last thing you do!" Piper's words held confidence as she saw both her sisters passed out on the ground. A few yards from each other.

Rhona looked at her and wanted to laugh. "You can not defeat me. Even Penny couldn't do that."

"No she couldn't, but she didn't have what we do." Paige stepped beside Piper glaring at those that had hurt her new family.

"You don't have the Power of Three. In case you missed it, your sisters are nearing death. In fact I think Phoebe might already be there and what Prue has lost can never be returned. So you might as well let me finish this. End her misery."

"We don't need the Power of Three. All we need is the knowledge that that 'being' is your son. So either you release them or he dies. Your choice." Piper's words were firm as she let her emotions speak for her.

Rhona stood mystified as to how they knew. "It doesn't matter. It's too late for them anyway." She moved towards Prue only to have Piper freeze her.

"OK Paige hurry I don't know how long she will stay that way." She spoke hurriedly as she ran over to Prue. Lifting her sister's head to her lap she popped the cork on the bottle in her pocket. "Prue. Come on wake up just a little." Piper slapped at Prues face trying to wake her.

"Uh."

"Ok this is gonna taste like crap and you will probably kill me after, but drink this." She tipped Prue's head back forcing the brown liquid into her sister.

Paige moved over to where Phoebe was and could see the fog drifting through the bars surrounding her baby sister. She tried to find a way in, a door anything, but it was solid.

"Get away from there." Rhona yelled at Paige who was shaking at the bars that were between her and her sister.

Piper looked up and saw what was happening. Phoebe was still trapped inside and Rhona was making fast moves towards her youngest and her oldest sister.

"Prue come on. Wake up honey. We kinda need your power right about now."

"She isn't going anywhere." Trandons cold voice came from in behind them as he advanced fast on Piper. To fast for her to even use her power.

Piper almost willed the potion she gave Prue to work faster, but her sister had been in the grasp of Rhona's power to long. It would take time.

"Rhona. Release them both and we won't have to kill him." Paige's words held a meaning that only a mother would fear.

"You can't. He is too powerful now. Feeding off a Charmed One has made him strong. Stronger then even me." She looked at Paige and then the fog floating in the center of the cage.

"Ph. Phoebe."

Piper spun around and saw as Prue used her power to throw Trandon across the cavern as her gaze then fell on Rhona. "Let her go." She took a weak step towards the demoness. "You can't and won't get your revenge. Now or ever."

Piper moved to Prue and helped her towards Paige and Phoebe. But as she got closer she stumbled.

"It's over Prudence. You can't win. As you get closer to her, your life slips away. Each battle you won to reach her sucked your essence from your soul."

Prue stopped not wanting to believe what she was saying but knew somewhere that it was true.

"We work as a team. Our powers are connected to each other. As you get closer to him and his 'food'. My power takes away your life's essence. There is no vanquish. And soon I will have my revenge on Penny for stripping way my powers and sending me to that godforsaken plane of existence." She stepped back into the shadows again but this time it was different. As Prue had seen before she always stayed near the shadows but the three of them watched as she almost merged into them. Merged into the rocks that held the power Grams had stripped from her.

"Piper freeze her!" Paige yelled out as she pulled at the bars once again.

"I can't." Piper used her powers over and over but nothing was happening.

"Plan B." Paige stepped back from the cage and reached into her pocket.

Piper looked over her shoulder as she watched Paige. "Paige NO!!!" it was to late, as the small vile exploded on the being around Phoebe sending everyone backwards into the caverns walls.

The thick smoke filled the cavern as the only sound heard, was the eerie silence of death.
