Wendigo

Phoebe helped Piper over to Prue's car as Prue made her way towards Andy. It was one thing that the three of them where there, which would raise questions with the old friend, but another as to why Piper was there nude.

"Andy just take it easy."

"Prue where is she? She tried to kill me." Andy pushed himself from the ground and stood while leaning on Prue.

"I know. She's gone. I shot her with a flare gun." Prue held on to her dear friend, thankful he was both ok and had not seen her magic.

"You?" he looked down at his once girlfriend stunned.

"Yeah, long story. I'll tell you later ok. I have to get home, Piper isn't feeling to hot right now, and I left Phoebe at home with her. And knowing Phoebe she will get it too if she hangs around Piper to long"

Andy knew that Piper wasn't well, he had seen her earlier that day. "Just like the old days. Call me?"

"You know I will." Prue leaned up and placed a kiss on his cheek before turning to her car.

Piper was sitting on Phoebes lap when Prue slid into the driver's seat of her Miata. "You ok?" she ran her hand through Pipers hair and held it a moment on her sisters cheek.

"Yeah just cold right now. Can we get home so I can get some clothes on?" Piper asked as she pulled Phoebe's coat around her tighter.

"Sure honey." Prue smiled thankful her sister was ok. Placing the key in the ignition she shifted into gear and started home. But even as she drove home she could feel something in the car; Both her sisters were unusually quiet.

Pulling into the driveway Phoebe opened the door as Piper got out of the car and off her lap. Pulling her sisters coat tight around her to ward off the cold, she made her way quickly up the steps to the front door. Stepping into the warmth of the Manor.

Prue and Phoebe ran up behind Piper wanting to get out of the cool autumn air. Though both Prue and Piper noticed Phoebe kept going. Right up the stairs and hearing the door close they knew where she went.

"I'll go run you a hot bath honey." Prue said as she rubbed her hand quickly over Pipers back to hopefully get some warmth in her. Making her way up stairs she made a mental note to go see Phoebe when Piper was in the bath warming up.

Piper walked into the bathroom and set her robe on the hook and laid her pj's out on the counter. Easing out of Phoebes coat, she then slide into the warmth of the water and bubbles.

"Oh Prue. You are the best."

"I know." Prue answered with a smile. "You ok?"

"Yeah I'm just cold. It was weird tough, it was like I was watching myself in a movie. Oh I am soooo sorry for everything I said to you." As she realized the words she had seen herself speaking in that movie.

"Its ok Piper I know you didn't mean it. And I know Phoebe thinks the same."

"She ok?" Piper felt the distance her sister had placed between them all in the car and as soon as they came to the house.

"Yeah, in fact I'm going to go see what's up with her. You need anything you call ok?"

"Yeah. Thanx again for this."

"You are welcome my sweet girl." Prue placed a kiss on the top of Piper head before walking across the hall.

Prue had spent ten-fifteen minutes talking to Piper. She had wanted to make sure she was really ok, but she also wanted to gather her thoughts around Phoebe.

Knocking gently no the door before she eased it open as she had always done, not waiting for a reply. "Phoebs. You ok honey?"

Prue got no answer as she made her way over to her sister. She was just sitting on the far side of her bed looking out the window. Her lights were off, Prue guessing so she could see the stars better. She remembered telling Phoebe stories when they were little that when she wanted to be close to their mum she should look up at the stars. For it was there she was watching them.

Prue sat down beside her sister but was yet to say anything when Phoebe spoke first, "I could have killed her."

"Phoebe."

"No. I couldn't choose. I just reacted. One was closer so I pulled the trigger. I could have killed her. If she hadn't froze it. Then…" Phoebe couldn't finish the sentence as Prue wrapped her arms around her guilt ridden sister.

Prue wasn't sure what to even say. She wasn't sure how she would have reacted if it had been her holding the flare gun. "Honey you can't think like that."

"Why not? I shot a flare gun at my own sister Prue! I couldn't even imagine…." The tears and sobs came more freely as Phoebe thought of the possible result.

"Oh Honey." Prue held her sister tight almost knowing her pain.

Piper stepped from the tub and dried herself off before putting on her pj's. She felt a 100percent better already, as she then pulled her robe on around her. She exited the bathroom and heard the muffled cries coming from Phoebes room. Walking in, she saw as Prue tried to comfort the baby sister they both loved dearly.

"Phoebs? Honey what's wrong?" Piper sat on the other side of Phoebe running her hand over her back and looking over at Prue.

"I'm sorry."

"Honey why? You didn't do anything." Piper took Phoebes chin in her hand and turned her head so she was looking at her. "Honey. You have nothing to be sorry for."

"I..I nearly killed you."

"Oh sweetie. You saved me and had the courage to fire that flare gun when you didn't know which Wendigo was me. I could never have taken that risk. And in the end we would all be either dead or barring fangs each night of a full moon."

Phoebe wasn't sure what to think any more. She had shot a flare at her sister.

Piper almost sensed her sisters' thoughts as she held her tighter at the same time laying her down on the bed. "It isn't your fault honey. I love you." She ran her hand along the side of Phoebes head hoping anything would help her sisters' mood.

Prue curled around both sisters wanting to be there for them.

"I'm sorry Piper." Phoebe's voice was soft and full of sleep as she tightened her grip around Pipers arms, "I love you."

Piper looked up at Prue for an answer "I don't know Piper. She just needs some time. I am just glad you are ok." Prue leaned down and joined the group hug as she placed a kiss on her sisters' head.

The three slept peacefully together, the older ones holding on to the younger one, Prue to Piper and Piper to Phoebe. But some how during the night both Prue and Piper ended up with Phoebe in the middle holding her tight. Their love for one another reaching out and holding their bond as sisters. Forever.
