Leo felt his grip on Piper loosen and then she let go all together. He spun around trying to find her but the smoke from the fire was to thick. "Piper!" he called out through the smoke. He got no answer as he made his way back through the smoke. Hoping beyond hope that Piper was ok. "Piper! Talk to me."

"Leo?"

"Piper keep talking. I can't see anything."

"Leo no, you have to get out of here."

"I'm not leaving you. Keep talking to me."

Piper talked and Leo followed her voice.

"Piper are you ok?"

"Yeah, it missed me." She answered from the other side of the fallen beam. Without even thinking of himself Leo ran and jumped over the fallen, burning beam.

"Are you crazy. You could get killed doing that."

"Piper. I'm already dead. Remember?" Leo smiled down at her as he helped her to her feet.

Wrapping his arm around her waist he turned quickly. Not giving her enough time to hesitate and he ran back through the flames taking Piper with him. And then straight out the door. "Are you ok?"

"If you ever do that again. You will wish you stayed dead." Piper scolded, as she pulled away from Leo and smacked his shoulder.

"Piper."

"Don't you Piper me. You could have been killed coming in there after me and then you turn around and try and get me killed. Are you trying to give them my soul?"

"I was trying to save your life."

"Whatever." She said as she stood up and looked around at her surroundings. "Ok we need to get away from here before they figure out they didn't barbecue my ass." She took charge as she walked away from the cabin. What she felt was she was walking towards something, she just didn't know what or why. It more something she felt.

Leo followed her keeping a watchful eye on their back. He didn't want any unexpected surprises.

They watched in delight as the flames engulfed the small cabin. They waited in heightened anticipation for the power they would receive to get free and to finish their revenge. They waited.

"What's going on? We should have felt something by know."

"Maybe there is nothing to feel. Maybe it just is."

"Then if it just is. How do we get out of here? Why aren't we free to roam the earth again?"

"Maybe its because she is not dead." The one who developed the fireball in the first place.

"She maybe a witch and she may have a whitelighter with her. But we all know they have no powers here."

"I don't mean that. I mean we can't get' when is not for our taking yet. She is not dead."

They looked at him bewildered.

"She could not have survived that."

"She did. And so did he. And if you do not get to her and kill her soul by the moonset she will win and you will be trapped here till next time you seek your revenge."

They looked upon him. He was not their leader though he commanded an authoritative demeanor about him. They looked behind the burning cabin and saw the two figures running towards the bush.

"Get them. I want her at my feet bleeding as we bled. I want to see the fear in her eyes before I kill her." their true leader spoke as his men chased after the two fleeing figures.

"Piper we have to hurry."

"I'm moving here Leo. But we also need to vanquish them so they can't come back."

"Do you have a plan?"

"No. But I have a feeling." Piper said as she continued along the path. She found the light in front of her again. The mysterious pull that she felt when she first got there.

Leo watched, as Piper seemed to suddenly get lost in her own thoughts. But what he soon realized was that she was feeling the pull of death. "Piper listen to me. You have to fight it. Don't you dare give in to that pull."

Piper heard his voice in the distance but she kept going. Going towards the hidden light. Towards the pull she felt.

She heard the scream of pain from the other room and reacted as fast as she could, running down the hall to the source of the pain. Though the first thing she saw was the demon standing over her sister.

"Get away from her." she yelled but before she could react further he was gone in the blink of an eye.

She ran to her sister as she lay on the floor writhing in pain. "Make it stop!"

Before she could reach her fallen sister she felt a pair of arms wrap around her upper body. "You can't help her witch."

"Let me go!"

"Nope. Can't risk you helping her now can we."

But as he finished his sentence he felt the hard impact of something hard slamming into his nose. Letting her go as he yelped out in pain. Before he knew it he felt the hit to his upper body sending him sailing backwards and crashing against the far wall.

He recovered quickly, though his large body tried to protest both hits he had just taken from the relatively small witch. But before he could completely recover he felt another slam and then the pain of flames building around him. But he swore to himself that he would not go down with just one witch as he reached out aiming for the only one that was left.

She saw his arm move as the spray shot out. She quickly rolled to one side through the open door, avoiding the spray he was sending. She waited until she heard the loud burst indicating that he was gone.

Peering cautiously around the doorframe she saw the last bits of dust settle before everything magically disappeared. "Oh god." She ran to her sister and held her in her arms. She could tell by the look in the eyes that she was getting weaker.

"I.."

"No. Don't you dare give up on me, you hear me." She cried holding her sister, "LEO! Hang on. LEO Get your ass down here!" She yelled up, as she looked slightly skyward. But she got no response. He can't be blocked. Where was he?

"He's with Piper."

She spun around at the sound of the voice. One she knew all to well.

"What?" she started to say

"Am I doing here? Filling in for Leo. Piper needs his help right now. But what do you say we help her ?" he suggested as he bent down.

She looked up at the figure beside her as he held their hands over her. The light golden glow immediately appearing and casting a light over her sister.

The pain was the first thing she felt. But it was easing and she knew why. "Leo?"

"Afraid not."

That voice. She knew it. She opened her eyes slowly. She looked into the caring eyes that sat above her. Pulling herself up she wasn't sure if she was shocked or confused. "A..A..Andy?"

"Hi Prue." He answered quietly before he felt her arms wrap around him pulling them into an embrace.

Leo heard the sounds around him, around them, as he grabbed Pipers hand pulling her in another direction.

"Leo."

"Ssshhh they will hear you."

"We can hear you anyway whitelighter." A voice said from behind them.

Leo felt the sting of the fist connecting with his jaw as he fell backwards away from Piper.

"Come on witch. We have someone that wants to meet you."

Piper felt the hands on her but she saw no one. She tried to fight whatever it wa,s but they were too strong. It was then she felt the pain to her chest, again causing her to look down. Something was wrong. As she looked she saw the blood once again oozing from her wound, a wound that was slowly healing. A wound she could feel sucking her life's blood away.
