"You idiot! I told you to wait for all three of them."

"I'm sorry, she was alone. But it looked like she knew that I would be waiting there for her."

"She probably did you fool. That's the middle one. She has the power of premonitions. She probably saw how you kill her sister."

"Wait. I thought the youngest had that power."

"Oh man. Don't you keep up with things up here? Shax killed the oldest. And then there was a younger half sister. Now the other two have a new baby sister. Man how did you get so far as a demon if you cant even keep track of our most feared enemy?"

"Look I got to where I am because I've been loyal to the Source."

"Oh that's good. But now our fearless leader is still missing after two months."

"Look he's around."

"If you say so. Now how are we going to do this again?"

"I'll send the 'middle' one more premonitions and then we wait. She can't hold us off forever. Sooner or later she will have to tell her sisters."

"No she can't and I'm wondering why she did the first time. So another innocent must die because of them. Shall we get on with it."

Looking up at him with satisfaction he grinned an evil grin. She may have beaten him once but she would not get that chance again. The next time they met one of them would die and he intended it to be her.

"Piper how could you let her leave like that?"

"Well gee Paige I don't know, maybe because I know she needed some space right now." Piper shot back

"She has five stitches in her head in case you forgot. Not even to mention the ones in her arm. The doctor said that she also has a mild concussion."

"I didn't forget Paige I was there too. Look I know Phoebe. If I had stopped her she would have gone anyway. She's stubborn that way."

"Piper we can't just let her go alone. What if he goes after her again?"

"Paige, do not tell me what is best for my sister. I've know her a hell of a lot longer then you!." Piper yelled back at Paige. She was frustrated over the whole situation. Phoebe was hiding something and now she was off fighting demons without even tell her. She knew Phoebe had a premonition so why hadn't she told her about it?

"Fine, whatever, but I'm going after her." Paige grabbed her coat from the rack and headed out after Phoebe.

Piper watched as Paige left the Manor. "Augh! Prue how did you do this whole oldest thing. It sucks." She said to the ceiling as she grabbed her coat and went after Paige

Phoebe sat on the swing of her old elementary school. She remembered the carefree days of her childhood. Swinging on that very swing with Prue pushing her. She always wanted to go higher.

She remembered the one time that Prue finally gave into her pleading. She had falling off and broken her arm. After that Prue would never push her higher.

She stood and just wandered around the park remembering the good times she had there with her sisters. Her mind once again drifted to a time not that long ago.

"Prue come on. Please." She begged her sister

"Phoebe you are a grown woman. I am not pushing you on the swing." Prue smiled back to her.

Phoebe looked up at her big sister with her innocent brown eyes and partially stuck out her lower lip. "Pwue, pwease push." She said in a child voice.

Prue turned to Piper who was watching the whole scene before her, though trying not to laugh. For she knew that Prue could never resist Phoebe whenever she did that. She never could.

"Augh! You know I really hate it when she does that." Prue said as she looked at Piper. "And you stop laughing." She turned and walked up to Phoebe on the swing. "Fine. But I'm not pushing you higher." She stated as she began to push her baby sister on the swing as she had many times before.

"I knew I shouldn't have pushed her higher."

"Prue you didn't, she was pumping."

"I should have stopped her. Now look, history has repeated itself."

"Prue this was not your fault. Now cut it out." Piper reprimanded her big sister.

Prue just leaned against the wall waiting for her sister, as Piper sat beside her. She looked up as Phoebe came walking out of Emergency Room, once again wearing a cast on her arm.

"Oh Phoebs I'm soooo sorry." Prue apologized as she pulled Phoebe into a hug

"Prue, it wasn't your fault. I was pumping when you wouldn't push me higher." Phoebe said as she rested her head on Prues shoulder. "Can we just go home now."

"Sure honey. Come on."

Phoebe recalled that day as if it was yesterday. But it wasn't; it had been a few months after she had discovered the BOS and read the incantation. Andy was still alive and so was her sister. If she hadn't read that incantation everything would be fine. The people she loved would still be alive.

Phoebe sat on the sand leaning against the old slide when she was once again pulled into a premonition. She saw as the demon came at her and her sisters once again, and once again she one of them die, as she sat there doing nothing. Just watching as he tore her apart like a rag doll. She came out of her premonition and realized that it had happened there in the park at night. It was then to that she realized that this could happen now. She knew that Piper would not let her just leave like that and neither would Paige. She knew that they would eventually come looking for her. So in order to prevent what she saw, she started to make her way out of the park, and back towards home.

He watched her as before. He knew what she was feeling. He could sense her torment, and her inner torment that was slowly eating at her. He also knew that her sisters were looking for her. And he knew just how to help the Source rid himself of these pesty witches once and for all.

Watching her as she started for the edge of the park he knew what she was doing and he knew that she had seen what was about to happen. He had to set his plan in motion now, before it was to late.

Piper ran after Paige as she walked down the darkened street that they called home. The lights from the lanterns cast a luminescent shadow before her. She thought of the times when she was younger doing just what she was doing now: out looking for Phoebe. There had been many a time when Phoebe had run out of the Manor, after getting into a fight with Prue. With those thoughts she had a pretty good idea of where her sister had gone. A place near by where she could be close to her big sister.

"Paige wait."

Paige didn't stop but kept on going.

"Paige you don't even know where to start looking." She yelled out to her sister. " I do."

Paige stopped knowing that Piper was right. She had no idea where Phoebe would go when she was upset or wanted to be alone.

Piper came up beside her and stopped. "Look Paige, I'm sorry. I'm new at this big sister thing and I'm worried about Phoebe. There is something going on and she won't talk to me."

"So ask her Piper." Paige stated.

"It's never that easy with her. Never has been." Piper said as she took Paige's arms and started to walk towards the school.

"Where are we going?" Paige ask as Piper steered her in another direction

"To get our sister and figure out what ever is bothering her. You're right. I need to have a heart to heart with that girl."

He saw them approaching as he stood over the witch. Everything was going according to plan. Soon the Charmed Ones would cease to exist.

"Piper I don't like this. It's too quiet."

"I know Paige. Just look for Phoebe and we can get out of there that much sooner." Piper replied as she looked around the playground for her sister. She thought she saw movement at the slide area and made her away there.

"Paige." She called out still walking towards what ever it was she saw.

Paige turned in time to see her whole world go in slow motion.

Phoebe watched helplessly as Piper walked towards her. She had been leaving the park when suddenly her world had gone black. She thought she felt something hit her but it was still a bit fuzzy as to what exactly had happened. But now she found herself awake yet she felt as if she was frozen. She couldn't move or speak.

He bent over her from behind. "Neat little power I have there isn't it Phoebe? I took from a witch that I killed recently. You are aware of your surroundings yet you can't move. Your whole body is just numb. I guess it's similar to Pipers freezing power. I'll enjoy having hers to after I kill her. And then of course after her will be Paige. And you get a front row seat." He looked up and watched as Piper walked closer towards him. "A little closer. That's it." He stood in the shadows with Phoebe at his feet trying everything she could think of to warn her sister. She couldn't lose Piper so soon after Prue. She couldn't deal with that, she knew.

Piper had turned to call out to Paige. But as she turned she could have sworn she heard Phoebe calling to her. Just as she turned around she saw the fireball heading straight for her. Realizing it was too late to freeze it.

"PIPER!" Paige hollered as she ran to her sister. Not knowing what she could do as she saw the demon stepping from the shadows with an evil grin on his face.

"One down two to go." He sneered as another ball formed in his hand.
