A/N: Hey guys! New chapter! First, thank you's:

RandyOrtonxWifexx: You'll sort of find out in this chapter.

Semper Fi Witchlighter: Paige didn't heal very often in the show, so I'm sticking with that. She only helped in certain dire situations, like when Leo couldn't fully heal Cole because he was half-demon, etc. Rebecca has the full powers of a Whitelighter, which includes healing. But Whitelighter's can't heal the dead... More on that coming soon!

CharmedOpal: You'll have to wait and see! Yeah.. Corrine isn't taking the news very well! Haha. Sorry about that! Not my fault she chased me! Lol. Grandpa... Eeep! – Runs. –

So, I don't have any more chapters pre-written after this one... And I apologize if I fall a little behind; I have a busy next couple of days.

Also, I appreciate all of you who are showing interest in the new fic! I'm working hard to get a few more chapters written so I can start posting. Thanks for your patience!

And... Enjoy!

...

"Rebecca," Katelyn called, knocking on the bedroom door. "Please, Rebecca... We just want to talk."

No answer.

"Maybe we should just leave her alone," Melinda finally said, after several tries had yielded the same results.

"No," Katelyn said firmly, glaring at her older cousin. "She blames herself for Corrine, and she shouldn't. It was an accident, and she's the one who ended up saving Corrine."

"Accident or not," Melinda said sharply, "she still orbed them to the freaking Underworld."

Katelyn grabbed Melinda by the arm and dragged her down the hallway, so their voices wouldn't carry into Rebecca's room.

"Look, I know you're angry," Katelyn half-whispered, a sharp edge to her voice. "We've been through so much in the last few months, and it's okay to be angry. But you can't take this out on Rebecca. New to the family or not, she is our cousin and she is a part of the future Power of Four. So we need to start embracing her as such. And right now, just like Corrine will need us once she's gotten over the shock of being dead, Rebecca needs us to reassure her that this isn't her fault. Understand?"

Melinda frowned at her cousin. She hated to admit it, but Katelyn was right. Reluctantly, she nodded. "Okay."

Katelyn nodded. "Good." She grabbed Melinda by the arm again, and dragged her back to Rebecca's door, determined not to give up until Rebecca opened up.

...

Downstairs, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige convened.

"This is a nightmare," Paige said miserably, pacing back and forth in front of Piper and Phoebe, who sat on the couch.

"Well, I'd say we're doing pretty good," Phoebe said, trying to be optimistic. When her sister's stared at her like she was crazy, she shrugged. "What? We vanquished a dozen demons that were planning on killing us all, and Rebecca brought Corrine back from the dead. I'd say that's a win for Team Charmed."

"Okay, yes, but we need to address the cause of that little adventure: Rebecca doesn't have control of her powers," Piper pointed out.

"She had enough control of her healing powers to bring Corrine back from the dead," Phoebe countered.

Piper nodded. "Yes, yes she did. But still."

"Oh, sure, so now we're blaming my daughter?" Paige asked defensively. "Let's not forget, if Corrine hadn't run off this morning, Rebecca would never have had to orb after her."

"Whoa," Phoebe said, putting her hands out. "We aren't blaming her, Paige, we're just trying to understand what happened."

Paige scowled, but crossed her arms and nodded. "Fine."

"Leo!" Piper called. To her sisters, she said, "Maybe Leo knows something. He's been Up There a long time. Leo?!"

Leo orbed into the room. It was hard to read the look on his face.

"What did you find out?" Piper questioned.

"Well, the Elders honestly don't know," Leo explained. "Corrine wasn't supposed to die today, but then she showed up on the Angel of Death's list. She was already Up There with Prue when Rebecca healed her, and she came back to herself."

"With... What?" Phoebe questioned. "She was with Prue?"

Leo hesitated, but nodded. "Prue went to greet her, to be... Well, reunited with her. She was in the middle of a conversation with Corrine when Corrine suddenly disappeared."

"Is that why Corrine doesn't remember anything?" Phoebe asked, finally putting two and two together.

Leo nodded. "The Elders – and Prue agreed – thought it would be... unfair... to let Corrine remember seeing Prue. She's barely over Prue's death as it is. Knowing she came that close to her mother, only to be ripped away again... It could really debilitate her. And with the recent demon attacks, she needs to be on her toes right now"

Piper and Phoebe nodded in understanding.

"But what about Rebecca?" Paige asked. "How was she able to bring someone back from the dead?"

Leo shrugged, looking clueless. "They... Don't know. Right now, they can only guess. Maybe it was the blood connection the girls share as cousins. Maybe it was Rebecca's guilt, making her feel responsible for what happened. The Elders are checking into it. I'll need to report back in a few hours."

"I don't understand," Paige said, shaking her head. "Was this all meant to happen? I mean, you guys always say everything happens for a reason. But what reason could there possibly be for Corrine and Rebecca to be captured, and Corrine killed? Why let her die, only to let her live? I just... Don't understand."

"We don't either," Piper admitted. "But, knowing our luck, if there is a reason, we'll soon know it."

...

Horrified, Corrine tiptoed away from the doorway, running up the stairs in her sock feet, hurrying back to her room. She locked the door and leaned against it, gasping for breath.

She hadn't meant to overhear her aunts and Leo talking. She wasn't the type to intentionally eavesdrop, but she had finally decided to venture out of her room and she had stumbled upon their discussion.

Prue... She had seen her mom. Even as she thought it, her memories began to return. She remembered the demon stabbing her, dying, going up the Elder Land, and seeing Prue. She had been scared, but seeing her mother had brought her joy. The exact wording of their conversation was still a blur, but just the fact that she remembered having a conversation with her mother was enough.

Then, anger began to fill her. How dare the Elders take those precious moments away from her! Of course she missed her mom, but getting to talk to her had been wonderful. It had eased her grief. It infuriated her that the Elders thought she was so fragile, she would go into a tailspin at the idea of seeing her mom again.

Well, she was going to prove them wrong. She was going to summon Prue and prove to them that she was fully capable of having a civil conversation with her dead mother without going crazy when she left again.

Corrine faced her door, taking a minute to compose herself. When she felt ready, she yanked the door open – and came face-to-face with Piper.

"Oh," Piper said, lowering the hand she had raised to knock with. "Sorry. I was just coming to check on you."

Corrine opened her mouth to say something, then closed it. "Uhm... Hi Aunt Piper."

"Hi," Piper said, narrowing her eyes in confusion. Maternal instinct was hard to ignore, even with a niece. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine," Corrine assured her, forcing a smile. "I feel a lot better."

"Mhm," Piper replied, crossing her arms. "What's up, then? Shouldn't you still be in bed?"

Corrine thought quickly, trying to come up with an appropriate lie. With each second that passed, Piper looked more and more suspicious. Finally, defeated, Corrine threw up her arms and turned away from Piper, walking to her bed and plopping down.

"Corrine?" Piper asked cautiously. "Talk to me, sweetie."

"I swear, I wasn't eavesdropping," Corrine began, trying to keep her voice steady – Honestly, she had no reason to feel guilty; she had done nothing wrong. "But I heard you, Aunt Phoebe, and Leo speaking. About me... And mom."

Piper's eyes widened in shock. She wasn't sure what to say. So, she said the first thing that came to min: "Oh."

"Look, it's fine," Corrine said quickly. "I wish everyone would stop treating me like I'm going to break. Yes, I miss her. How could I not? She's my mom and I will always miss her. But... She's gone, and I need to just get over it and move on. We have bigger problems to worry about."

"What bigger problems?" Piper asked gently, trying to calm her niece with a soothing tone of voice and reassurance.

"Before that demon stabbed me," Corrine said, unable to say the word 'killed' just yet, "Rebecca and I overheard them talking. They killed my mom, Aunt Piper. They caused the car accident. And they're going to attack again. Soon."
