P3H2O - Missing Scene



How long had they waited. Sitting there holding on to the last thing that had a connection to their mother. Neither sister moved as the sirens blared in the distance.

The paramedics had taking Sam off the dock. Prue watched as if reliving a nightmare. One she was forever remembering.

Prue was the first off the dock, as she made her way to the picnic area. Her mind was reeling at the possibilities and everything that had happened. She had seen her mother’s death, and worst; she had asked her baby sister to see it as well. The sister who had no memories at all of their mother. Now the only thing she would recall was her death. The burning of the water as it ran through her.

Her mind twisted around what she had said; ‘I know somebody who can see anything.’ The words rang in her mind over and over. She knew what she was asking and even she knew it was pushing the limit to what her sister was willing to except.

Prue leaned over and brushed her hands over her face. Holding them there enough for her to let out the little cry of anguish. “I’m sorry Phoebe. You should not have seen that.” She cursed herself for what she had forced her sister to see.

She knew that what Phoebe saw was much worse then she had those many years ago. Phoebe had felt it. She had felt their mother die.

Prue closed her eyes in hopes to hold back the memory she knew was coming, a memory she knew she could not stop.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

Piper leaned against the car her feelings lost amongst themselves. Feelings of loss as she felt her mother’s presence. Feeling of betrayal as she cast her eyes on Leo.

How could he stand there and not feel what she was. Not know how she felt, when it was the same as her mother felt. She knew he had known everything and all it did was complicate it.

Her mind traveled to her baby sister. She wasn’t sure how or why but she didn’t care. All she cared about then was Phoebe. Her voice tried to reach out as they held Sam in their arms. Prue had quickly got up and left the scene, leaving behind her sisters.

All Piper could see was Phoebe reaching down to him, the man she hated for letting her mother die.

Piper felt her hand and arm reach out and take hold of her sister, as she never had before. Letting through a love that was always there.

But now she stood there watching on a both her sisters fought inner demons. Prue as she again saw their mother lying on the docks, dead. And Phoebe the pain of seeing it and feeling it.

She looked over at Leo who met her eyes with silence. She knew his feelings as well. But right now she had to focus on her sisters.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

She hadn’t moved. She had known her sisters had left to find their own solitude. But she just sat there sitting in the middle of the dock, her legs crossed under her starring out at the calm un-rippling lake.

Her heart was torn. Between her mothers love and what she had missed, to the anger she felt towards Sam for not saving her. It was his fault. He had let her die. But now it seemed that she understood it a bit more. Or did she?

Underneath it all she felt another anger. One she knew where it was directed at. But she knew it was for the greater good. It was something she knew she shouldn’t be feeling. But than again: her sister would have never asked her to see and feel what she had so many years before.

Prue lived that nightmare everyday. She had been coming up to the lake for years just to sit and look out at the waters that had claimed their mother. How could she ask me to see that? The pain of emotions inside her was something she could feel but didn’t want to.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

Leo looked at Piper and then towards where Prue and Phoebe sat separately. He knew the feelings in their hearts. Ones of pain and loss. Ones he knew they shouldn’t be feeling again. Though ones he knew they had to.

“Piper. I have to take you back.” His voice was low. Softly heard to her. it was times like this he wished that the Elders had more compassion. More understanding on what they felt as sisters, not as witches.
“I can’t leave them Leo.” She answered not taking her eyes from her sisters.
“I know. But I have to go. And how else will you get back?” he didn’t want to push but there wasn’t many choices.

Piper closed her eyes and made her way towards Prue. She knew he was right. They couldn’t all fit into Prue’s car. Piper sat at the picnic table across from her sister.

“You ok?” she asked though knowing it was stupid. She knew how they all felt.
“I’m, not sure. It’s just.”

Piper reached over and took Prue's hands to hers, “I know honey.” She wanted the day to stop. She wanted for everything to be ok. But she didn’t have that much power. “Prue I have to go. Leo was called and …. Well we can’t all fit in your car.”

Prue looked up and brushed away a lone tear. “Its ok.” She could almost see what Piper was thinking, “We’ll be ok Piper. Go. I’ll talk to her.”

Piper held her gaze on Prue's face. So much hidden emotions from years before. But Piper knew this was one time that her sisters would have to work it out together. With out her there mediating.

“Ok. I’ll see you both at home later then.” She stood up slowly and walked around behind her, wrapping her arms around her. “I love you.” She placed a kiss on the top of Prue's head as she felt Prue almost relinquish into the love Piper was giving her; almost letting her guard down enough for her emotions to flood out.
“Love you to honey.” Prue replied as she leant back into Pipers arms.

Piper took one last look at Phoebe still sitting on the dock before walking towards Leo. Holding her eyes to her youngest sister as the blue and white sparkles of the orb enveloped her.

Prue pushed back her fears, her pain. She knew that Phoebe and her had to work out what had happened. They both had to work out the pain they both felt. Standing up she looked at where she knew Phoebe would be. As close to her mother without being with her. but Prue also thought maybe she was sitting there so Prue would go to her. Phoebes own way of pushing her away.

She stood at the gang plank frozen in one spot. But as before she knew she had to go. Go to the one place that brought her sorrow. Taking the first step was the hardest but she knew she had to. Pushing her fears away, so she could be with the one person that needed her then.

Prue scrunched down and sat beside Phoebe. She didn’t say anything. Prue knew, Phoebe was aware of her presence there and when the time was right the silence between them would be broken.

“It’s so peaceful now.” Phoebe spoke quietly. But she received no answer from her older sister. “It took so much but all I see now is the calm and the peace it holds along the surface.”
“But what lies under the surface?” Prue held her eyes towards the lake. She had to reach Phoebe. To get her to understand why she asked her to see what she had. “The surface is nothing more then a façade to hide feelings.”
“Feelings of anger, pain.” Phoebe felt the tears starting down her face. She wasn’t going to cry. Not now. But she couldn’t help it. Prue was saying everything she felt.
“Phoebe. I’m sorry.”
“You should be.” Phoebe felt her anger rising to the surface raw emotions of what she felt and what she had lost all those years. “I felt her DIE Prue!”
“I know.” Prue reached out and enveloped her baby sister. She couldn’t remember the last time she had seen Phoebe so vulnerable, so lost. “I will regret those words for as long as I live. But you know I would never have asked you if I didn’t know it was the key.”

Phoebe wanted to fight the hold Prue had on her. Wanted to fight the feelings that were ready to nearly explode inside her but she couldn’t. The damn broke as her heart ached for her mother what she had been through and the ache they had all suffered over the years without her.

Time was lost on two that had lost so much so young.

“I love you Phoebe.” Prue tightened her grip to the one treasure she had to her heart. “What say you and I go somewhere? Away from here.”

The walk to the car was silent as Prue kept her arm around Phoebe. She thought if she let go Phoebe would go somewhere.

The drive was silent as Prue rounded the next corner to the one place she knew they both wanted to go. Phoebe held her eyes out the window watching as the streets and cars passed by. She knew where they were going. But she wasn’t sure if she was ready for that. Not now. Not after what she went through.

“I can’t Prue.” The softened whispers as Phoebe tried to hold back the tears that were once again threatening to fall.

Prue took hold of Phoebes hand in hers. “Ok. Just come when you’re ready sweetie.” She got out of the car and walked the short distance across the grass.

Phoebe watched as Prue walked along the path way. She wanted to go but it was still too fresh in her mind. She wasn’t even sure when she felt the tug. The tug to her heart, as found herself following along the same pathway Prue had taken earlier.

The grass always so neatly cut around the cold hard cement. But the love that was always there took hold of the two sisters. Each one lost in their own grief again as they felt what was lost on them all these years.

“Phoebe I’m sorry. I would never do anything to hurt you, or Pier you have to believe that.”
“I do. And you were right to ask me to. It was the only way to stop him.” Phoebe brushed away the tear that was resting on her cheek. “Maybe I can help keep mum still close to us.” Her mind thought of an idea.
“Oh? How’s that?” Phoebe was always the one of the three to come up with some idea for something. But Prue always looked back on her ideas ad full of love.
“Add mum’s letters to Sam to the family Album.” She leaned into Prue's arms as they both said a silent message to their mother.
“That’s a wonderful idea honey.” Prue gave her sister a hug before each of them started for the car.

Pulling into the driveway Phoebe leaned over and gave Prue one last hg and kiss. “I love you. No matter what.” She looked up and met Prue's ice blue eyes.

Prue returned the smile. So much lone in that small face. “I love you to baby.” She replied “Now. I have to go find out what Jack is up to. You sure you’re ok?” she asked one more time, as her concern for her family took over.
“Positive. Now go find your guy.” Phoebe laughed.
“Not.” Prue tried to protest.
“Right Prue. I’ll see you later. I say a sister night is in order. Pick up some movies?”
“Deal.”

Phoebe stood at the bottom of the steps and watched as Prue made her way towards Buckland’s. She tilted her head skyward, “I love you mum.” Before she headed up the steps and into the Manor
