Ha, only 13 days! I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now, lol.
Prue looked over at the crib and saw Anna sleeping peacefully. She got out of bed and went to pick Anna up.
"Come on sweets, we have to go call your aunts" Prue said.
She bent over and picked Anna up. Heading into the kitchen she set Anna in her rocker. She was about to pick up the phone to call her sisters when she felt something hit the back of her head. She fell unconscious and slipped to the ground.
Anna started to scream when she sensed the evil present in the room. The demon looked over at her and smiled. He reached and picked up a knife from the counter. He looked down at Prue lying on the floor.
"Now this is just too easy" the demon said, laughing.
He went to stab her when he was sent flying backwards.
"What the…" the demon stuttered, standing up confused.
He looked around the room, his eyes landing on the screaming Anna.
"You think you're a smart little witch, don't you?" the demon asked.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
MANOR
Leo was sitting in the kitchen while Piper made breakfast.
"Have you seen Phoebe and Cole this morning?" Piper asked, looking up from what she was doing.
"No, I thought they were still in their room" Leo said.
Piper shook her head.
"I checked this morning, they weren't there" Piper said.
"Maybe they just went out for a walk" Leo said.
Piper nodded.
"Maybe" Piper said, unsure.
Leo looked around.
"Do you hear that?" Leo asked.
"Hear what?" Piper asked.
"It's like a baby crying" Leo said.
He paused for a second.
"It's Anna" Leo said.
"What…why…let's go, come on" Piper said.
Piper grabbed his hand and they orbed out. They orbed into Prue's apartment and saw Prue lying on the floor. Anna was screaming in her rocker and a demon was in front of her. Piper froze the demon and went over and picked up Anna. Leo kneeled down next to Prue and started to heal her.
"Ow" Prue groaned, as she slowly came to. "Anna?"
"She's fine" Piper said.
Prue sat up but grabbed on to Leo's shoulder.
"Whoa" Prue said.
"Careful, you got hit pretty hard" Leo said.
Leo helped Prue stand up. She looked at the demon. Piper looked down at the phone that Prue had dropped when the demon hit her.
"I was about to call you" Prue said. "Where's Phoebe?"
"Good question" Piper said. "I haven't seen her this morning"
"Well sisters later, demon now" Prue said, staring at the frozen demon.
Piper nodded.
"So, do we want to see what his name is and who sent him or just blow him up and find out later?" Piper asked.
"First option" Prue said.
Piper nodded and headed over to an unpacked box. She grabbed a box of crystals out of it and set them around the demon.
"I snuck them in this box while you weren't looking" Piper said, noticing Prue's look.
Piper set the crystals around the demon and unfroze him. The demon looked at Piper and Prue in front of him, and smiled.
"I wouldn't be smiling if I were you" Piper said.
"Really" the demon said, still smiling. "I suppose you're going to start to ask me a bunch of questions like who am I and who sent me? Well I'll save you the trouble. I am a reminder for you"
"A reminder? Of what?" Piper asked. "And who sent you?"
"Ask her" the demon said, looking at Prue.
The demon in front of them disappeared.
"What the…" Piper trailed off.
She looked at Prue.
"Care to explain?" Piper asked.
Prue sighed.
"That's what I was calling you about" Prue said. "The Source is alive"
Piper's eyes widened.
"What do you mean he's alive?" Piper asked.
"He was in my dream last night" Prue said, softly. "He said things to me"
"What did he say?" Piper asked.
Prue paused.
"He was trying to convince me that Caleb was evil" Prue said. "That I was too late"
Piper went over and put her hand on Prue's shoulder.
"You know that's not true, right?" Piper asked.
Prue nodded.
"I know" Prue said. "But I already said I wasn't going to try to find him anymore…it's not fair to Anna"
"But is it fair to you?" Piper asked. "You deserve to have both of your children. You shouldn't have to choose which one you get to be with"
"I shouldn't but I do" Prue said. "The Source has Caleb now which means getting to Caleb will be impossible"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
UNDERWORLD
Phoebe stood beside Cole.
"This is where we were last standing with Caleb. Maybe I can get a premonition off of it" Phoebe said.
"Well you better hurry" Cole said. "It doesn't take long before someone notices there's a Charmed One in the Underworld"
Phoebe nodded and looked around. She placed her hand on various places of the room. Cole watched as Phoebe's body jerked, he knew she was having a premonition.
"I guess I'll be staying here" Moira said. "Are you sure you don't want to stay? You could rule the Underworld?"
"No" Prue said, firmly.
Moira smiled.
"Goodbye" Prue said.
Prue grabbed onto her sister's arms. Moira watched smiling as the scene froze while they were in mid orb.
"You did well, Moira" a voice said, entering the room.
"They were easy to fool" Moira said.
Moira observed the frozen Halliwells. She stopped in front of Prue. Caleb was squirming in his mother's arms, unaffected by the freeze. Moira took him from Prue's arms. He started to cry. Moira handed Caleb to the demon standing in the room. They walked out of the room.
Phoebe felt herself being pulled back into reality. She saw Cole's expectant face waiting for her.
"We have to get out of here" Phoebe said, recognizing the figure from her premonition.
Cole reached towards Phoebe. A fireball hit Cole and sent him flying back.
"Not so fast"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
MANOR
Prue walked into the manor carrying Anna's carrier. Piper and Leo came in behind her.
"Phoebe!" Piper yelled. "Pheebs, are you here?"
When there was no response, Piper turned to her husband. Leo nodded and closed his eyes. After a minute he opened them again.
"I can't sense her" Leo said, looking concerned.
Piper sighed and looked at Prue.
"Attic" Prue said.
Prue set Anna's carrier on the end table in the hallway and took her out of it. She started towards the attic with Piper and Leo. Up in the attic Piper and she went straight to the book.
"So what are we looking for?" Prue asked.
"I don't know, I thought you knew" Piper said.
"Obviously I don't" Prue said.
Piper sighed.
"When's the last time you saw Phoebe?" Prue asked.
"After we got home last night" Piper said. "She went up to her room and a few minutes Cole went there too. I went to check on her this morning and their bed was made and they weren't there. I thought maybe they went for a walk"
"Well, chances are the Source is behinds this" Prue said. "After all she disappears right when he decides to announce he's still alive"
"But I would've heard a noise or something" Piper said. "I mean, Phoebe had Cole with her, they wouldn't have gone down without a fight"
"Maybe they caught them off guard" Prue said.
"I don't know; it's kind of hard to catch both of them off guard" Piper said.
"Well if you don't think the Source is behind this, who is?" Prue asked.
"I'm not saying the Source isn't behind this" Piper said. "I just think we're missing a part to the story"
Prue was about to reply when she saw Anna's body jerk. Prue felt her mind being pulled and soon was thrown into a premonition.
Prue saw Phoebe sitting on her bed crying. She was clutching a pillow when the door to her room opened. Cole came in and Phoebe sat up.
"Please help me find him" Phoebe said.
Cole nodded and Phoebe stood up. Cole wrapped his arms around Phoebe and she started to cry again.
"She has to come home" Phoebe said. "They both do"
After holding Phoebe for a minute, Cole backed away.
"What do we do?" Cole asked.
The scene then shifted to the Underworld. After a minute Prue recognized it as the place she was standing when Caleb was taken.
"This is where we were last standing with Caleb. Maybe I can get a premonition off of it" Phoebe said.
"Well you better hurry" Cole said. "It doesn't take long before someone notices there's a Charmed One in the Underworld"
Prue felt the time shift again.
"We have to get out of here" Phoebe said.
Cole reached towards Phoebe. A fireball hit Cole and sent him flying back.
Prue snapped out of the premonition and saw Piper's concerned face.
"I just had a premonition" Prue said. "Well actually, I think Anna did"
"What did you see?" Piper asked.
"Phoebe and Cole" Prue said. "They were in the Underworld and they got attacked"
"By who?" Piper asked.
"I didn't see" Prue said. "But I can bet I know who's responsible for it"
Piper nodded.
"You think he'll hurt her?" Piper asked, already knowing the answer.
"I think he'll try" Prue said.
Piper paused.
"What were they doing in the Underworld?" Piper asked.
Prue paused.
"They went to get a premonition, so they could find Caleb" Prue said. "Phoebe thought it would make me want to move back here"
Piper was quiet, not sure what to say. Prue over at Piper, and sighed.
"I just need time" Prue said. "I have to sort out…things, before I can be here again. I can't just pick up my old life…everything's changed; I lost my son and gained a daughter"
"I know" Piper said. "And I think she knows, but something else is bugging her, and she won't tell me. So once we get her back, you two need to sit down and have a serious talk because this family is falling apart"

REPLIES: Thank you all for understanding about the pauses in updates. You guys are great, lol.
Mileysmiles06: I'm glad you liked the last chapter. Hopefully this chapter is even better, lol. So when I said I doubled up on math, I meant that I'm taking Geometry and Advanced Algebra (as my teacher likes to call it even thought most people say Algebra 2), at the same time. At my school you're supposed to take Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2 in that order. But as you can see, I decided to be stupid and take up an offer from my math teacher to double up, lol. Well, now that I've probably shared something you really didn't care about, lol, I'll leave you be. Thanks for reviewing!
Lizardmomma: Glad you liked it. Thanks for reviewing!
Mony19: As you can see in this chapter, Piper is ready to make everyone face their problems. So hopefully things will start to work themselves out (well, as soon as they find Phoebe). Glad you liked the last chapter and thanks for reviewing!
Charmedchick34: Well I was able to update faster, lol. Hope you liked the chapter. Thanks for reviewing!
MJLS: Thank you for being so understanding. A long time ago I once had a reviewer tell me if I didn't start updating more often, they'd stop reading, so I kinda freak out a little sometimes. Yes, I know it was only one reviewer, but it was when I first started writing, so it was when I judged my work on how my readers judged it. Thankfully I've learned to mostly get past that, lol.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked that last chapter and I hope you liked this one as well. Thanks for reviewing.
Jorden's Prayla: Yup, Phoebe tried to help; too bad it didn't quite work out…or did it? Sorry, I'm in a very weird mood right now. It's half because I'm sleep deprived, and half because I'm just crazy, lol. Well, I'm glad you liked the last chapter and I hope you liked this one. Thanks for reviewing!
Brittany: First off, glad you liked the last chapter. And yes, I just finished probably the best sister moment I have ever wrote (or at least I think so, lol). So I guarantee the Phoebe/Prue moment.
Secondly, As much as I would love a statue, I don't think you want to feed my ego that much, my family might hate you, lol.
Thirdly (Get ready for a rant), nobody kept Prue alive in the show after about three episodes into the third season. I'm the youngest of three girls. If one of my older sisters died, I would not get over it that quickly. And then, at the end of the whole show, they mention her once in the last episode! To make it even better, when they're showing all the pictures of all the family members in the last episode, they don't show one of her. I mean maybe it was a legal things, but how hard is it to find someone who looks like her, take a picture, and put it there with the others. I mean, I'm pretty sure if they had pictures of their mom and grams, they'd have some of Prue…ok, rant over. It's funny, I haven't watched Charmed for a while, but that still bugs me. Well, I just looked at the clock and saw that I should probably go to bed since I have to go to school tomorrow (yuck). Thanks for reviewing!
