Piper turned another page to the BOS looking for anything that might help them vanquish, or at least defend themselves against the demon they had fought the night before. She laughed inwardly as she recalled how many times they had all said they needed to index the book. But she also wished that Phoebe was there with them, she knew the book inside and out.

Prue walked into the attic watching as her sister turned another page. "Any luck?"

Piper just shock her head, "Sorry. Not yet."

Standing beside her sister she looked down on the next page that Piper came to.

They both stared at the Woogeyman spell as they recalled when Phoebe had been possessed by him and what nearly happened.

Prue moved away from Piper and wiped away a silent tear, before she picked up the crystal and held it above the map of the city.

Prue looked on as the crystals swayed in her hands. Casting a small shadow with every movement it made. She soon turned her thoughts to her sister. One she had lost not that long ago. Memories swept through her mind as she recalled moments with her baby sister. Moments she would not get again. She watched the crystal swayed back and forth before it tugged from her hands and landed on an area near the cliffs at Golden Gate Park. "Piper, I think I have something." She said as she looked down at the crystal.

She woke with a start though feeling the warmth of the blanket around her. She didn't move for her fear of the unknown. Opening her eyes to catch the warmth of the brown eyes that met hers.

"Good morning."

She looked at her with hesitation, "Hi." She said meekly.

Sister Lily looked at the lost child in her bed, "you hungry?" she asked, though knowing the answer.

She was answered with a slight nod.

She sat at the table with the others and ate her food. She felt the urge to run but wasn't sure what or to where. But as she got up from the table and walked out of the shelter she looked in one direction and then the other, before deciding on the one she would travel.

Sister Lily ran after her, but by the time she had made it to the door, the woman was to far away.

"She will find her home." Pastor Williams said as he rested his hand on her shoulder.

She watched as she disappeared into the forest outside the churchyard, "I hope so Pastor." She replied quietly before she turned back inside the church.

The rain was now turning what looked like another beautiful day in San Francisco to a cold wet one. Spring on the coast.

She heard the surf crashing against the rocks and seemed drawn by the sound it brought. The roaring thunder echoing in the air as the wind picked up, crashing the waves harder and faster against the shore.

She sat on the rocks watching the waves in the distance. She felt peace with each crash of the water. Mother nature showing her fierceness.

But suddenly they came again, she looked around fearing her own safety. She felt the pain as it was happening again. The images in her head, the voices.

She squeezed her head with her hands hoping they would get out. Someone was hurt. The blood it wasn't hers but she felt their pain.

"Prue we should have waited for Leo to get back."

"No way, and let her get away again." Prue shot back as she closed the door to the jeep.

"We don't know you found her. You could have found that demon. Which in case you forgot nearly killed me last night."

"I was there Piper, I remember, but I know it's her. I wasn't trying to find the demon, you were." Prue remarked back as they made their way through the park.

Piper kept up with Prues fast pace. Sometimes she hated it when her oldest sister sunk her teeth into something and wouldn't let it go. It reminded Piper of how Phoebe used to be. "You're both just stubborn." She said out loud, but not enough for Prue to hear what she said.

"What?"

"Nothing." Piper covered as she continued to walk.

The rain came down in droves as the thunder rumbled above them. Piper looked up and saw the clouds moving quickly, gathering as if to convene over the city. Ramming into one another as another rumble moved across the sky.

"Prue where are you going? This is ridiculous. We're going to get soaked. Not to mentioned killed."

"News flash Piper. We already are. And we are not going to get killed." Prue argued, "Look I'm not going to let that thing get this poor woman. Now come on, it's not much further." Prue replied back over her shoulder. She knew Piper was right on some levels, but she had to find that woman, or die trying.

She followed more to her instincts then anything else as she stood at the top of the small cliff, looking down to the waters edge below her.

"No way." Piper protested

"Piper come on. Look she is down there, I know she is." Prue said as she took Piper hand in hers.

"Fine. But if I." Piper stopped when she felt her feet give from under her as she started to slide down the muddy embankment. Though when she landed at the bottom she had the self-satisfaction knowing she had dragged Prue along with her. She looked over at Prue covered in mud and couldn't help but let out the chuckle that was building inside her.

"Yeah funny Piper. Now come on." Prue got up and helped Piper to her feet as well as they made their way down the beach.

Making their way cautiously, Prue had taken Pipers hand in hers. She needed to know that her sister was there. She found her mind drifting back to the night before and suddenly felt a wave of fear pass over her.

--- ----

She turned from the voices as she started up the beach, when she saw them moving in front of her. No leave me alone. Her mind screamed out to her as she froze in place. Her mind was playing games on her. But they were so real. She turned the other way and started to run.

--- ----

"Piper?"

"I see her." Piper replied as she followed after her sister.

They both started to run after the woman from the night previous. They just had to get to her and then they could worry about the demon.

Leo orbed in the middle of the beach and saw them running towards her. He breathed a sigh of relief knowing that now she would be safe. According to his bosses she was one innocent that they needed to save. They had told him that the Source's assassin was using her as bait to get to the Charmed Ones, though he still wanted her dead as well.

Even when they told him, Leo knew even they did not know who she was. To them she was a mere mortal. But he had learned over the years that everyone was destined for something. He took that even if they did not know what was going on, they knew there was something special about the woman they now sought.

--- ----

She ran, as the rain fell harder and faster around her. She was soaked and was starting to feel the cold working its way through her, deep inside her was like her own world shaking.

She tripped once, but caught her balance, but not for long as she tripped again. She tried getting up but fumbled in the wet sand. She heard them coming. Must get away. Must run. Hurt me. No can't hurt me. Hurt them. I can. I can hurt them.

She felt the hands on her back. She heard their voices but not the words. She panicked as fear gripped her.

No get way. Don't touch me. Evil. Bad. Hateful. Get away. She tried to get away from them but she couldn't, one held her arm as the other spoke softly. But it was a trick, they always tricked her like that. No can't go back. Not to the straps holding her down. No get away run run. She pulled away but they were stronger. She felt the arms wrap around her trying to calm her. She wanted to run yet somehow now she felt warm, safe.

--- ----

Piper had joined Prue on the sand as the woman fought to get away from them. All she got was incoherent mumbles, as Prue tried to calm her down. She had finally got her tight in her arms and to Pipers relief the woman was now calming. She looked down at the top of the head that was buried in Prues arms, and brushed back the stray lock of hair. But in doing s,o she felt her heart jump as her hand pulled away and covered her mouth.

Leo ran up to them glad he had finally caught up.

"Is she ok?" he asked as Prue finally got her calmed and Piper sat beside them. But he suddenly got worried at her reaction.

"Piper?"

Prue looked over at her sister when she heard the tone of Leo's voice.

"Piper what is it?" Prue asked seeing her sisters' face grew extremely pale.

"She. That's" She couldn't get the words out as she looked at the face before her.

Prue held Pipers gazed and then followed her eyes to the woman in her arms. She looked down and then too felt her own heart flip inside her as she held the face in her gaze. She tried to speak but only one thing came out. "Phoebe?" she whispered quietly. Her word lost in the sound of the crashing surf.
