Prue focused her lens as the click of her camera continued. She felt more relax then she had in a long time. They had been demon free ever since Phoebe finished her last minute essay for school. And to Prue she thanked someone for making sure her little sister was able to catch up open at least some sleep over the last few days. But she knew even after the short time of them being witches that it wouldn't last long. And she as right.

As she focused in at another angle down the beach it was then she felt hers and hers sisters world start to turn.

Looking up she saw him. So small and cute. Yet he had appeared out of no where and looked right at her.

As fast as had come he disappears. Looking around for anything suspicious she grabbed her camera bag and started for her car, "I have to go."

The man in charge wasn't to keen on his photographer leaving on such short notice, "But Prue…."

"Sorry. Family emergency. We can wrap it up tomorrow. But I think I got enough for the lay out." She didn't even turn towards him as she tossed her bag in the car and followed herself soon after. Quickly driving off to find both her sisters.

Prue paced back and forth having arrived home to an empty Manor. Though as she paced for the tenth time her cell phone rang.

"Piper? Ok slow down. Where are you?" she listened as Piper rambled on as to what happened when and where they were. "Ok stay out of sight and I'll be there as fast as I can." Prue quickly closed her phone and took off back to her car. "So much for demon free." She commented to no one.

Piper froze another demon as she watched carefully how Phoebe was doing. But as she saw her baby sister kick back another demon she eased some what. She saw the car more then heard it screech into the alley and Prue jump out. And just in time as well.

"Piper look out!" Prue's voice carried over the dimness of the alley as she used her power to fling back the demon in the direction he had come.

Phoebe heard the panic in Prue's voice as she waited around with her foot connecting with another demon of her own. But she saw out of the corner of her eyes that Piper was ok and Prue had taken care of everything.

Piper looked up for a brief moment in time to seer the demon heading another direction, one away from her. "Thanx Prue." She spoke as she froze the next demon.

Now standing beside one another they fought the demons back to back.

Prue threw the last demon before she turned around looking for any more.

"Piper, Where's Phoebe?" her heart started to race as she noticed her sister missing.

Piper felt the panic rising before even answering Prue. She looked everywhere and even the last place she had seen her sister. "Phoebe!"

"I'm here."

Both older sisters started towards the soft voice. They could make out the boxes of cardboard moving around and grabbed a hold of some to help Phoebe out.

"What happened?" Piper asked as she helped Phoebe to her feet.

"I don't know. One minute I was sailing right for him with a great new move I learned. And the next I was in the garbage pile of cardboard." She brushed off the dirt on her clothes as he looked around the alley, "Are they gone?"

"For now." Prue answered though still on high alert, " Either one of you like to tell me what that was all about?"

"Sorry. Though I think I saw one of them in the BOS the other week." Phoebe replied though also feeling herself alert for anything. Especially the demon that disappeared.

Piper looked around with some apprehension. She still was getting used to the demon fighting but there was something tonight. Something felt different.

"Can we get out of here?" she started towards where the jeep was parked before her sisters even realized she was leaving.

Prue followed after Piper with her eyes and noticed Phoebe doing the same thing. "Come on." She took hold of Phoebes hand and walked briskly after Piper.

Phoebe rested her head on the headrest as she sat in Pipers jeep. Her head was pounding and she could feel the adrenaline rush starting to ease out of her body. She placed her hand to her forehead hoping even that small contact would help, it didn't.

Pulling in the driveway they each climbed out from the places around the vehicle.

"I got first dibs on the bath." Phoebe spoke with a tone letting her sisters know there was no room for discussion.

"And then you are going back to bed sleepy. You're grumpy." Piper answered following her little sister up the stairs.

"Am not."

"Too." Piper shot back.

Prue at first listened until it got to a point she knew things would be said that couldn't be taking back.

"OK. Hang on. Phoebe, go get ready for a bath and I'll be up in a minute to run one for you. Piper. Why don't you go see if you can find a bottle of wine in the fridge?" Prue guided Phoebe towards the stairs and moved Piper with her eyes.

Neither of the younger two argued. It was one thing to argue with themselves but not with Prue when she was trying to keep the piece.

Phoebe headed to her room and changed out of the clothes she had on fight the demon. She felt a sharp pain in her arm but thought nothing really of it. Making her way down the hall she eased open the bathroom door.

"Oh that looks like heaven." She remarked a she saw the steam easing its way through the bubbles in the tub.

"Well it can be." Prue smiled.

"And this will help." Piper walked into the bathroom crying a small tray with three glasses on it.

"Piper you are the best." Phoebe reached over for a glass and that was when Prue noticed it.

"Phoebe you're bleeding." She moved closer to her sister and took her arm in her hand. The blood had seeped through Phoebes robe.

Piper looked up and saw where the blood was starting from, "Ok sit." Piper took hold of Phoebes other arm and eased her down on the stool.

"Ok how did this happen?" Prue examined the gash that started at the top of Phoebes shoulder and ran down towards her arm.

"I have no idea." Phoebe tried to look at what her sisters could see. "Ow!" she cringed and tried to pull away as Prue tried gently to ease her sisters' robe away from her body.

"Ok come on. Let's get that cleaned up honey." Prue tried to ease her sisters' pain as best she could, "Climb in the tub and I'll help clean it out."

Phoebe eased herself into the hot bath letting the heat take away the aches she had gotten from landing in a heap. She flinched as she felt the cloth gently run over the place she had hurt herself. But as the tears built behind her eyes she knew that with Prue she would be ok.

Piper sat quietly as Prue worked her own special magic on the youngest. Like Phoebe, Piper knew that with Prue taking care of her sister Phoebe would be ok.

"Ok. That looks like it. Just relax and let the bubbles work their magic now Phoebs." Prue moved back and took a moment to step from the bathroom.

Everything they do and go through. And it was still hard for when ever they got hurt.

Prue felt the gentle hand on her shoulder, "She'll be ok."

Prue closed her eyes, "I know. It's hard sometimes. These last few weeks have been hard enough on her with no sleep last week. Now this week is full of demons. I feel we're being tested or something. And we both know what happens when she gets run down and over tired."

"Yeah crank and grumpy, and I tried to point that out earlier. But we both know we always help each other through it." Piper reminded her, "Come on downstairs. She wants some alone time." Piper laughed as she handed Prue her glass of wine and led her towards the stairs.

Piper rested to the back of the couch and could almost feel Prue thinking.

"What's wrong?" Pier cast her eyes towards her sister. Prue always wore the same intense expression when she felt something wasn't right.

"I don't know. I was at my photo shoot and this monkey appeared down the beach."

Piper raised one eyebrow, "appeared?" she wasn't sure if maybe it was Prue that needed the rest and not Phoebe.

"Appeared yes. And he acted like he knew me. Looked straight at me, gave a little wave and then was gone. If I didn't know better I would say he astral projected to me."

"Ok is that possible?" Piper was as confused as Prue looked.

Prue sat silent a moment, "I have no idea."

Curtis sat watching the monkey's as he had every day. Other then the Prue monkey to move things, and the Piper one to freeze. They showed no other signs of any other powers. He was also convinced that the youngest, Phoebe, had no powers at all.

Dr. Jefferies walked into the lab and took a moment to study the latest blood work and studies on the monkeys. "Anything new?"

Curtis looked over at him, "Nothing. You heard back from Larry yet?"

"No. but he isn't due for another hour or so."

Dr. Jefferies moved and stood in front of the cage holding the monkey with the sign on the outside saying Prue. "Somewhere inside them they hold a miracle to a high risk disease."

"Not to mention other things. We need more time."

"We need better samples." Dr. Jefferies said not taking his eyes off the monkey. He felt as if it was starring him down. The intense look it was giving him.

They had discussed it but as of yet Dr. Williamson wasn't sure if it was the safest plan of action. Not until they had more information.

They both turned back to their work discussing what needed to be done. Until Dr. Williamson turned his attention back to the small monkeys.

"What the?" he practically ran towards the cage and watched as 'Prue' stood in her cage not moving. "Wait a minute." He reached out and grabbed Dr. Jefferies before he touched the cage. "I remember something about this." They stood in silence and it wasn't long before the monkeys head shot up and glared at them.

"The nurse that day."

Dr. Jefferies looked from Dr. Williamson and the monkey. "What nurse?"

"They day we brought the Hallowell's back in and Piper fell unexpectedly back into a coma. She said that one of the sisters was standing there as if asleep."

"So what? Another power?"

"I don't know." They both stood there wondering what had happened.

Larry ran through the doors to the clinic ignoring the nurse at eh front. She knew him enough that she didn't question his coming and goings around the small clinic. And she was paid enough to ignore certain things.

Entering the lab he stopped in his tracks. "Ok what's…" he looked past the Dr.'s and saw what he was looking for.

"Larry what is it?" Curtis moved towards his brother in law.

"I..I just saw that monkey at the beach." He stuttered out in surprise as he pointed at the monkey marked Prue.

"What? That's impossible they have all been here all day."

"I am telling you I just saw that monkey at the beach and it was waving at Prue Halliwell."

Dr. Jefferies didn't waste any more time. "I think we have enough now."

The next morning Phoebe rolled over and felt the sharp pain almost ringing through her shoulder blade. The actions of the night before coming fresh to her mind. But was also fresh on her mind was the conversation they all had about a monkey, what looked to be astral projecting to Prue. It was a mystery to all of them how a monkey could have Prue's powers.

Wincing slightly as she got out of bed. She pulled on a robe with care.

Something that they would need to look into today that much she did know. On top of whom it was they were fighting last night.

As she stepped on to the last stair she felt a feeling of unease pass through her. Making her way to the kitchen it only got stronger, "Piper I have…." She let her sentence stop as she walked into an empty kitchen. Her sisters were always up long before her and the Manor would smell of fresh coffee. She turned and made her way through the solarium and into the living room only to find them empty as well.

Phoebe felt a panic starting to grip her. Even if they had gone out they would have left her a note.

She raced back upstairs and without even worrying about the consequences if she was wrong throw open Prue's bedroom door. It was then her feeling of unease slammed into her. The normal neatness of her sisters' room was now anything but. Prue's room was a mess. The sheets and pillows on her bed were thrown everywhere, and the picture of Prue and their mother was lying on the floor broken.

"Piiperrr!" Phoebe turned quickly and ran down the hall to Pipers room only to find it in much the same state.

At first she panicked and then she worried. But as she realized what might have happened she felt her legs begin to buckle as fear gripped her heart, as she slid down to the floor of Pipers room. Realizing that at some point during the night. Someone or something had taken her sisters.
