Piper woke up on the couch with Leo sitting next to her. "How long?"
"Not long. But after everything with Prue, and then Phoebe I figured you needed your rest."
Piper sat up. She had fallen asleep and now when she woke she had hoped everything was a dream, or more a nightmare. "Leo I have to find her. I lost Prue, I can't lose Phoebe too." she felt her tears start down her face as she buried herself into his chest as he pulled her into a hug.
She had looked through the book for anything on her sister but had so far come up empty. Then she remembered something. "Oh my God. It's Roger. He took both of them and now he was here flaunting it in my face."
She bolted up from the couch and ran up to Prues room. Quickly grabbing an old photo book she started to flip through the pages. She knew he wouldn't keep them here in town and she recalled Prue saying something about a place that her and Roger used to go to on weekends. Finding the picture she was looking for she ran back down stairs. "Leo can you take me here?" She didn't know if Leo could go on just a photo, but she prayed that he could.
He looked at the picture in her hands before wrapping his arms around her.
Prue watched helplessly as Roger forced her sister to get another premonition. She knew that this was all just a sick game to him. But she could see the lost look that Phoebe was getting whenever she came out of her visions. He was slowly driving her sister mad.
She was relieved when he had finally left them alone. But when she saw in the lantern how he was talking to Piper at the house she knew that they had to get out of there.
Praying her powers still worked on objects, she released the tape that was holding her down. Moving as quickly as she could to Phoebe, she was able to release her sister from the shackles that held her.
Phoebe felt only the pain in her mind as she had tried to fight back the visions she was getting, but his power was to strong for her. She fought back when she felt the hand on her but was soon relieved when she heard Prues voice.
Making their way through the house Prue suddenly felt Phoebe being pulled from her arm.
"Going somewhere." Nibor asked as she held Phoebe in his grasp, his talon hands around her neck.
"Let her go and I won't have to vanquish your sorry ass."
"Oh. Big words for a witch who is about to lose her sister."
"Let me kill her Nibor. "Airam glared at Prue.
"I told you already. You can have the one with the power to freeze."
"But I want her." she advanced on Prue. But what happened next, happened so fast even Prue wasn't really sure what happened.
--- ----
Piper and Leo appeared inside a large room with what looked to be a large vat of some sort. "Leo?"
"This is it Piper." He answered though as confuse as she was.
Piper took one last look around when she ran for the door. As she looked down the passage she saw the two demons at the one end. One had Phoebe in his hands as the other looked to be itching for fight. Piper reacted on her own instincts as she threw up her hands freezing the two demons before her.
"Piper?" Prue looked past the frozen demons to her middle sister.
Helping Phoebe get loose from his grip the three embraced as Piper, thankful that both her sisters where ok.
"Ok we have to vanquish this guy together. Before my freeze wears off." Piper said taking control.
"Phoebe. Any ideas?" Piper turned to her youngest sister hoping she would be able to come up with something.
"Um..Maybe. Repeat after me." Taking Prues hand in her and Prue taking Pipers in her other one they felt their magic flowing through the three of them
"Borrowed power return to thee
No more to roam free.
Demons who lend
The three send you to your end."
She repeated it over and over. She heard her sisters beside her and the magic seemed to reach out from them slamming into the two demons that where there, just as they unfroze. Their screams heard throughout the large empty house.
They stood there a moment before Prue turned and taking her sisters hands she headed for the front door.
"I love you Prue."
"Love you to baby. Let's go home." Prue said as they stepped down the front steps. But as they rounded the corner around the bushes Phoebe stopped.
"Going somewhere ladies?" Roger was standing before them. Almost daring them to try something. "Oh and lookie Pipers here too."
Prue glared across at him, "It's over Roger." Prue said as she pushed Phoebe behind her.
"I don't think so." He said with confidence, as he took a step forward.
Prue squinted her eyes to use her powers and sent him sailing across the yard.
He sat there stunned as to what had just happened. "What? That isn't possible."
"It's over Roger. Unless you want more of that, then I suggest you stay down there." Prue glared at him, though secretly wanting him to get backup.
Phoebe watched as he tried to stand. But the next thing she knew she was standing over top of him at the ready, as he once again laid out on the ground. "Why don't you just stay down there you piece of shit?" she said not really wanting to fight anymore. She felt her legs getting weaker. The only thing that kept her going was the images in her mind of Prue as she beat her over and over with the whip. Seeing her getting raped repeatedly.
Once again he stood up only this time he was slower. And before he could stand fully she spun a perfect roundhouse sending him spinning backward back towards Prue.
Prue saw him coming but made no move to get out of the way. Suddenly she saw herself face to face with him as he tried to regain his balance as his evil grin appeared on his face.
"This game is now over Roger."
"You think so." He said back pulling himself to his feet. "And even if it is Prue. I've still won." He laughed at her.
"I don't think, I know." She said, as she slammed her knee into his family jewels, harder then she even thought possible. Causing him to cry out in pain, as he bent over and fell to the ground curled in the fetal position.
Prue looked down as Phoebe came over to her ready to strike at him again. Her adrenaline still pumping. She went to kick him again, in the same place Prue had already hit him, but Prue pulled her arms around her pulling away from him.
"Phoebe its over. Let it go." She wanted to let her sister go. But inside her she knew it wasn't right. They couldn't get down to his level.
Phoebe struggled in her arms but soon gave in to her fight inside as she collapsed to the ground as Prue held her in her arms.
Piper ran over to them both and embraced them close to her as her own tears fell in with theirs. The state of her sisters was not lost on her, especially Prue. Her bruises evident of what she had been through. Casting a glance at Roger on the ground she turned away from him in disgust.
The three of them sat on the couch trying not to think of what had happened a few weeks ago. Darryl had told them that Roger was getting locked up in an asylum for a very long time.
Prue and Phoebe had started to work through the things that had happened to them.
"He never won did he." Phoebe broke the silence that hung between them.
Piper looked at her and then over to Prue. She had her arm around Phoebe and gave her sister a gentle squeeze when she spoke.
"No he didn't sweetie. And he never will." Piper said as she leaned over and huddled on Phoebes legs.
"It is as it should."
"They will not remember what happened originally?"
Leo stood in the room listening to the Elders.
"Only you Leo, will recall what happened. You, and us here. The Charmed Ones will not remember anything of what happened the first time."
"So he never escapes and goes after Phoebe. And she doesn't die?"
"No. Their destiny is how it should be."
"When Prue vanquished the demon on her own it was out of revenge. And that was how the Source was able to retrieve the powers and give them back to Roger. But the Power of Three vanquished him with good magic. Something stronger then even the Source can not yet go against."
"That was why you had giving me the location of the house when Piper showed me the picture." He said knowing now it was their way of helping.
"Yes. We needed Piper there to prevent history repeating itself again."
Leo thought for a minute before truly understanding what was going on.
"You may go now Leo. And remember you can never tell them what actually happened."
"I don't feel like taking on Prues wrath on that. So you have my word."
She stood in the back listening to everything. "You brought my grandchildren back together. I know it was for selfish reason but I thank you none the less."
"You have served us well over the years Penny. The pleasure was ours. And we in turn thank you for your help as well."
She looked down through the window they used and watched her grandchildren together, as they should be. Happy with the knowledge that what they went through was never meant to be and that they would never remember losing a part of them all.
The crackle of the fire grew louder as the burning log moved sending a shower of sparks up the chimney.
"Love you." Prue said as she tightened her hug on her sister
"Love you more then you love me." Phoebe said as she looked up at Prue.
Piper just laughed at her sisters, as she moved up more on Phoebes leg enveloping both her sisters in a hug.
"I got you both beat."
No more words were spoken. No more words were needed. They where whole again, and that was all that mattered.
