There's a Woogey in the Manor…MS

OK this is the deal from a friend at my board. It Started as my wittel idea, and got into a two biter.. Then I watched the Ep. And said. Hey.. HANG ON.. What about.. well you'll read it.. enjoy

Prue watched as Phoebe walked away from her and Piper. Something was definitely up. "Piper?"

"Don't ask me. I was to busy being attacked." Piper leaned into the arm that was placed around her.

Prue had sensed Pipers feelings. "You ok?" she had asked, as she placed an arm over Pipers shoulders drawing her sister towards her.

"I didn't even get a chance to freeze him Prue. It's like he knew what I was going to do."

Prue had held her eyes towards where Phoebe had gone as the two them found there way sitting on the couch. Piper leaning against Prue. "What if he had been a demon Prue? He would have killed me for sure."

"Piper.."

"No Prue. If it hadn't been for Phoebe he would have killed me. He almost had that cutting fork."

Prue knew her sister was scared, hell she was. Phoebe was acting weird, and an innocent man attacked Piper. Now all she had to do was figure it out as to why.

Prue held on to her sister, knowing the scare she had. Knowing her own fears when she heard Andy telling her Piper had been attacked by the gas man.

"God Prue I was so scared. It happened so fast. I mean who would have thought, the gasman…"

"Piper its ok. You're safe now. That is all that matters."

"No it s not. What about Phoebe? That bat just appeared in her hand Prue."

Prue had heard this before it seemed. Phoebes power growing at random. Maybe her sister had been in the book but as she walked away Prue thought something else was at work.

Prue's mind raced as she ran down the stairs from the attic with Piper. Her baby sister had just tried to kill her. Just like the gasman had with Piper. But somehow this felt different. Phoebe had purposely thrown Piper from the attic and went for her. Was there some underlined reason her sister wanted her dead. Was it after all the years they had been fighting. Piper's words broke through her haze. They had to find out what was going on with their sister. It was the only way to save her.

Prue felt her heart rush as she made her way up a few steps. She had placed an arm around Phoebe and relished in the fact her sister leaned back against her. After a few minutes she tucked her arm around Phoebes waist and pulled her to her feet. The three of them making there way to the living room and on to the couch. Instantly Phoebe snuggled next to Prue.

"I'm sorry." Phoebe finally said weakly.

"Wasn't your fault sweetie." Piper assured her sister

"Maybe not. But he fed on something. Why I attacked you both." Phoebe closed her eyes at the memory. "I couldn't do it. Even in the attic before you threw me Prue. I had pushed him aside. I couldn't hurt you no matter what."

She was exhausted as she leaned against her sister. She felt Pipers hand on her, letting her know everything was ok and that she would be ok.

She had felt the evil inside her trying everything to take control. And she knew just how close it had come. How close it had come to destroying her family.

Later that night she lay awake in bed knowing that Prue was beside her. Knowing that her sister was doing everything she could to protect her.

"Go back to sleep honey. I'm not going anywhere." Prue felt the need to be near her Phoebe after everything she had been through. She had read in the book that possession was a draining experience, even for the most powerful witch.

The next Morning Phoebe woke alone. She grabbed her robe and made her way down the stairs she had known so well. "Prue..Piper?"

"Kitchen Phoebs." Prue's voice returned her sisters question as she stepped inside, and she soon found herself with her arms around Phoebe as she sat on her lap. "How are you?"

"Tired. Wiped out."

"Teach you to get possessed….." Prue lightened up the conversation. At the same time gripping her arms around her sister.

Phoebe leaned back in Prue's arms. She wasn't ready yet to deal with what she had done. But she knew in time she would deal with it. But she wouldn't be alone. Her sisters would be there for her.

"God I am sorry Prue. I nearly killed you."

"And you saved Piper. What was up with that." Prue ran her fingers through Phoebes hair to calm her.

"No, I tried to kill her too. He knew just how to take me. He used our past fights to get me to kill you in that attic. But I fought him. Even though he had wanted to kill you and even Piper. I wouldn't let him. My love for you two was too strong for him."

Prue held on to Phoebe knowing some of the pain she was feeling. "It's ok sweetie. In the end as you say, you were too strong for him." Prue looked back on the last 24hrs. She was losing her sister, one of the sisters she had sworn to her mother she would protect. And now this. "You're ok honey. Everything is ok now." She ran her hand over Phoebes back, calming her.

Piper had come home and the three of them had made their way to the attic.

"So Piper you and Josh?" Phoebe had to laugh at her shy sister.

"Stop it now. Nothing happened. He gave me a bottle of wine as a peace offering."

"See, sounds promising." Prue put in

"Ok if I could freeze you both like I did Phoebe the other day, I would. Often." Piper laughed as she placed a pile of books on the shelf.

She didn't even know how long it had been since she took the pen from Prue and wrote in the spell.. A spell she had no idea she would one day use again to stop her once soul mate, her love.

Curled up in the attic later all she wanted to do was stay close to her sisters.

"I'm sorry you guys."

"Hey wasn't your fault Phoebs, it was his." Piper said as she took her sisters hands in hers,

"And ours for not believing in your Woogeyman story." Prue added in.

Phoebe leaned in against Prue. "I just have a feeling it isn't over yet. That he isn't really gone."

"Well he is for now, and that is all that matters. As well as you being relinquished from his hold." Prue tightened her arms around Phoebe. '"I love you."

"I love you more."

Piper said nothing the whole time but when the words of love escaped them both she nestled against her baby sister, "I love you both."
