Piper and Phoebe watched after their sister in near shock. How could she know the name of the demon just like that? That had been searching through the BOS all-day and still they had not found anything that gave them a clue as to what was going on.
"Prue. What's are you talking about? There's no Belthazor in the book." Phoebe cried out after her older sister.
"I saw it in a book somewhere the other day." Prue tried to cover. She was restraining herself from pulling both her sisters in her arms and just hugging them, never wanting to let them go. After everything she had been through to get them back, she couldn't lose them again. The image of little Phoebe haunted her waking moments. How could she have been so stupid as to forget that her powers wouldn't work? As she recalled the look on Patty's face as she held little Phoebe, her heart broke all over again.
"Prue what are we going to do?" Piper asked as she came down the staris of the attic.
"We are gonna find out what's going on."
"Ok but how? We have some crazy demon killing women and you suddenly come up with this demon Belthazor,theory." Piper said as she followed her sisters down the stairs.
"Ok look, I saw in a book about this demon named Belthazor. Only I think he isn't a demon after all. I think he is on our side." Prue tried to explain as she made her way down the steps to look at the map and try the crystal. "Ok she has to be somewhere along Zenith."
"Ok that's great Prue. Zenith almost runs the length of the city."
"So we scry until we find the cross street." She saw the doubt in her sisters' eyes. How could she tell them what she had done? "Trust me. Just this once?"
Piper and Phoebe could both see the feeling that their sister had on her face. It was a look of fear but also happiness.
"Ok." Piper said as she took Prues hand in hers giving her the strength that she needed.
Phoebe held the crystal over the map and waved it up and down Zenith St. though getting nothing. Suddenly it shifted away from her and landed at the far end of town.
"Ok she couldn't get any further away could she?" Phoebe said with dissatisfaction.
"Ok. Let's go find us a demon." Prue said as she grabbed her jacket and made her way to the door.
Piper hesitated slightly as she looked over at Phoebe. "What's up with her?" Piper asked concerned for her sister
"I don't know but I get the feeling that she has something that is not finished with yet," Phoebe replied as she watched after Prue.
They stepped out of Pipers Jeep and cautiously looked around.
Prue could feel the adrenaline pumping. She had just got back from her encounter with Cole's mother and the image of little Phoebe was still on her mind. Not forgetting the image of her own sisters, dead from Belthazors powers. "Guys stick together, we don't know what we're up against here." Prue ordered more then suggested
"Yeah just some demon that's killing women all over town." Phoebe said sarcastically.
"Look this demon is very dangerous you guys. Don't take what he says or does lightly." Prue said thought trying not to give anything away.
As they made their way down the street they suddenly stopped in her tracks as they saw the man and woman facing off against each other.
The fireworks flew back and forth as she threw the fire and he threw the energy balls.
"Who the hell is that? And which one is the bad guy?" Phoebe asked as she watched the heated battle before her.
"She is the bad guy." Prue said as she made her way to the man throwing the energy balls.
Her sisters didn't even have to think about what they were doing as they followed Prue towards the man.
"YOU!" she hollered across the street at Prue.
Prue stepped back and looked at the woman she was facing with her sisters. How could that be? They had vanquished her in the past.
"No, you did not vanquish me then. And you will not succeed now." She snarled at her as she threw her fire towards Prue, only to have Piper freeze the fireball and the demon.
"Who the hell are you?" he yelled as he noticed the demon frozen.
"We came to help you." Piper said in anger as she looked at the man beside her.
"I didn't ask or need you help." He said in anger.
"Well it sure looks like it from here." Piper retaliated.
"Ok guys. Can we just vanquish this demon and go home?" Phoebe asked as she looked from her sister to the man before them.
"You don't understand. I have to kill her."
"You can't do this alone." Prue said as she stepped closer to her sister's
"You can not defeat her." he said never taking his eyes of the demon.
"No but together we can." Prue said with determination.
"Prue this is not gonna last forever. Let's vanquish this demon and go home." Piper said with determination
Phoebe watched as the man and her sisters bantered back and forth. Taking in parts of the conversation. But at one point she locked eyes with the stranger, there was something magical about them. Between them
He looked at the other women standing there. She had been quiet all this time and he wondered about her personality. She seemed locked in her gaze with him as much as he was with her.
As the freeze wore off she waited. She knew they all thought she was still frozen in time, but she had been demon to long to let the powers of a witch defeat her.
She waited for her chance strike, as she watched the women converse, holding back her power as she focused on the witches, but she also focused on the man. She didn't want to kill him, just get him to realize his true destiny.
Waiting for her right time she threw the fireball at him. Knowing it would hit its mark.
They had been talking and arguing about what to do. Prue and the stranger both just as stubborn as the next. But there was something in their sisters' voice that made Piper and Phoebe pay a bit more attention.
As the fireball sailed through the air, Phoebe had been the only one really watching the frozen demon. But her attention was pointless as she watched the fireball sail towards the man that her sisters argued with.
Phoebe quickly reacted as he pushed the man out of the way of the fireball.
"Phoebe!" Prue yelled out as she watched helplessly as the fireball hit her baby sister.
Pipers watched in horror as she watched her sister get hit from the fireball. "PHOEBE!"
Phoebe felt the hit to her upper back, but after that everything moved in slow motion.
Prue quickly threw the demon back, in her own fury, as she ran to her fallen sister. "Phoebe, don't you leave me." Prue cried out as she cradled her baby sister. "I didn't go back to the past to save his soul as well as your life, to have you die on me again." She cried as she held her sister as her tears escaped with ease.
"Pr..Prue. I.I.. lo..love..you." Phoebe managed as darkness over took her world.
