Prue Halliwell sprawled out on the couch. Bucklands was closed for a week due to pipes bursting and she now had nothing to do. She sighed and looked at the clock. She had been home one whole day and had already cleaned the whole manor including both of her sister’s rooms. Piper’s room had not needed that much considering Piper was a neat freak but Prue still found some things in there that could be fixed up. Phoebe’s room had taken her over an hour. Prue had cleaned the attic and she even was brave enough to clean Piper’s kitchen.
Prue jumped when she heard the front door open. “PIPER” She squealed happy to see some human life. “Uh hi Prue” Piper said hanging up her purse and coat. “So I take it you are bored” Prue shook her head and then nodded “Very” Piper giggled “Well help me cook dinner. Augh did I just ask you to help me cook do I have a death wish for Phoebe and I?” Prue rolled her eyes and smacked her sister.
Piper looked around “I take it since the house is spotless and you are bored out of your mind Phoebe is not home” Prue shook her head. “No she left at the same time you did and as been gone all day. She called me around noon to let me know she would be home about the same time as you. She a Karate class and she was helping a friend out at her book store today” Piper nodded “Yeah Rachel is opening a book store for children its really cute inside Phoebe has been helping her.” “Little Rachel huh” Prue said running her hands through her hair. “I remember her and Phoebe in there under ware running through the sprinklers in our back yard. They must have been what three at the time” Piper nodded and smiled at the memory “And you stood there watching them like a hawk making sure they did not get hurt” Prue rolled her eyes “And you little miss anti social sat on the porch swing reading your Nancy Drew books” Piper blushed “Ok enough looking back at the past lets look at the future like getting dinner ready so we don’t go to bed hungry tonight.” Prue giggled but followed her sister into the kitchen.

“Bye Rachel” Phoebe called out as she stepped out the back door of her friends book store. She stepped into the alley and rubbed her stomach as it growled. “Its going to be ok lil tummy we is going to go get some food” Phoebe said in her baby voice and then laughed at herself. “I think I am going to get some dinner too” A raspy voice behind her. Phoebe whirled around and gasped as she looked up at a fury shaped human thing with long fangs and deep green eyes his breathing was raspy. Phoebe started backing away slowly. Her heart was pounding so hard in her chest she would not be surprised if she actually saw her heart come all the way out of her chest. Before Phoebe even had the chanced to react in anyway the beast thingy flung its self at her pushing her to the ground, She struggled under his weight and kicked at him; Phoebe felt some of her skin being torn away by his razor sharp teeth she screamed in pain and then got mad. This thing was not going to take her out by eating her. No way was that happening. She kicked him as hard as she could. He seemed to whine and back off just a little giving Phoebe enough lee way to get up to her feet. She started punching and kicking with all of her force. “Demon die demon fly to hell” Phoebe chanted making up a half wit suckey spell so it took her by surprise when it started screaming in agony and blew up into a million pieces green goo flying everywhere. She screamed as some of it hit her new white pants. “Augh Prue just bought these for me” Phoebe whined. She then winced as she felt a throbbing pain on her chest. She put her hand up to her shirt and felt a warm sticky feeling soaking on to her hand.
Phoebe actually felt tears running down her cheeks her chest hurt like no other. She took a few deep breaths before making her way to Prue’s car. Prue had given her permission to use her car since she was not working. Phoebe bit her lip as she watched some of her blood seep onto Prue’s white leather car seats. “Aww man she is going to kill me. This day just sucks” She said slamming her hands on to the stirring wheel. She managed to pull herself together and start the car. She knew her cuts on her chest from his fangs were deep and she should probably get them looked at but right now she wanted nothing more then to get home and look up that nasty thing in the BOS to make sure his ass was actually dead.

Piper looked at the clock on the stove “Hmm Phoebe should be home by now” Prue nodded “Well maybe she just got tied up she is only like an hour late” “Wow Prue that’s confidence considering she has your car” Prue laughed but stopped when she saw the back door open up and her little sister. “My god Phoebe what the hell happened are you ok” Prue rushed to her little sister. “Phoebe” Piper said in shock. Phoebe tried her best to hold it together “I am ok guys the demon is dead” “PHOEBE a Demon and you didn’t call us” Prue scolded.
“Prue I did not have time to call you it was either call you and die or fight him and maybe live” Phoebe said in a sarcastic tone.
Prue choose to ignore this but she grabbed Phoebe by the forearm and started guiding her up the stairs. “I hope you are taking me to the attic to look in the BOS” Prue scoffed “Sure Phoebe I am going to take you to the attic while blood seeps out of your shirt” she said as they entered a bathroom.
Prue got out the first aid kit right away and helped Phoebe take off her shirt. Phoebe yelped in pain as some of her shirt ripped away from her skin due to dry blood. Prue winced when she saw her baby sister in pain.
Piper came up the stairs seconds later and started a warm bath after she set a cup of tea down on the counter for her sister. “Prue help with this before you put band aids on. She’s got demon goo on her pants. So it must be on her skin”
“Guys we need to check the BOS I know he is dead well at least I think so but anyway what I am trying to say is we need to know” Phoebe protested as she was being pushed carefully into the tub.
“Phoebe after we clean you up we will look but you come first” Prue said sternly. Phoebe rolled her eyes but the hot water did feel good against her skin. Until Prue pressed a cloth whit hydrant peroxide on it. She squealed a little “Owie Prue that hurt”
Prue sighed “Sorry honey but that needed to be done”
Twenty minutes later Phoebe sat crossed legged in her pjs on the couch she had her dinner on her lap and was looking over as Prue flipped through the book. She was trying to focus on what Prue was looking at but all of a sudden she had a killer headache. She wanted nothing more then to go to bed. “Prue actually can we do this tomorrow I am kind of tired” Prue nodded “Sure kiddo that is fine” Phoebe handed her plate to Piper and started to leave. “Prue we have to take your car in tomorrow to be cleaned I am sorry” Prue shook her head. “Honey don’t be I don’t care about my car I care more about you. You know that right” “Yeah yeah yeah” Phoebe muttered as she left the room.

Piper shook her head. “I am worried do you think she is ok” Prue nodded “Sure she is she is grumpy and tired just like always” Piper rolled her eyes. She knew Prue was now upset about Phoebe’s yeah…yeah…yeah but she also knew before Prue went to bed she would be checking on her little sister re tucking her in and kissing her cheek. She also knew Prue would check on her too after she thought she was asleep. That’s what Prue did she cared for her sisters as if they were her kids. Piper ended up smiling at her. “What Piper?” Prue asked when she noticed the smile. “Nothing Prue Nothing”

Phoebe rubbed her temples as she lay in bed. Her chest killed her head killed and all she wanted to do was sleep. But she knew she should check the BOS but her eye lids got to heavy to control and sleep took over her body.


The next morning Phoebe woke up chilled to the bone. She was freezing and worst all she was achy. She took a deep breath before climbing out of bed it was odd she felt terrible but she was starving. She quickly pulled on her favorite gray sweats with the black and white stripes running down the side of each leg. She looked down at her stomach and groaned when she noticed that some of her blood had seeped through the band aid. That meant the band aid was now stuck to her skin the thought of changing it made her stomach churn. She decided to leave it until after a shower after breakfast maybe the warm water would wash it right off. So Phoebe quickly grabbed a loose white tank top followed by a hooded gray sweatshirt. She ran a brush through her matted hair. She could never figure out why Prue and Piper’s hair were almost perfect when they woke up. Especially Piper’s for having the longest hair in the house. Prue always said it was it because Phoebe thrashed around in her sleep but Phoebe just didn’t see it her comforter was all ways on her bed when she woke up.

“Oh yum Piper” Prue said as Piper set a plate of French toast in front of her sister. “I just love your French toast I would have to say its my favorite” Piper giggled “You said that about my muffins about my cookies about my pot roast about…” “Ok I love it all ok” Prue said cutting her sister off but gave her a big smile. “So any plans today Prue or you going to get to a higher point on your boredom game?” “Cute” Prue said as she sipped on her coffee. “Actually I was going to sit with Phoebe and try to find that nasty thing that attacked her” “Yeah try to find out more too she didn’t tell us much last night. I really want to know how she got a wound that big on her chest” “He tried to eat me” A voice said behind them. Piper turned around and smiled “Morning sweetie are you hungry?” “Starved” Phoebe flopped down on a chair next to Prue and tried to reach over her for the paper but Prue grabbed her arm and held it tight. “Prue I was trying to reach for that” “What do you mean he tried to eat you?” “Like it sounds Prue he wanted me to be dinner” “Eww” Piper said as she place a plate in front of Phoebe. “Oh thank you Piper this looks great” Prue let go of Phoebe’s arms who jerked back and hit her chest and winced as her hand hit her chest in her quick swift movement. “owwie” she mumbled but her tummy growled causing her to forget about the pain on her chest. Piper watched in awe as Phoebe inhaled two pieces of French toast and eggs. “Whoa you weren’t hungry were you” “Actually Piper I am starving do you have anymore left?” Prue took one more bite of her own plate and passed to Phoebe. “I am full you can have mine” Phoebe smiled at her and dug in.
“So um I got to go to work now call if you need me” Piper said getting up. She kissed the top of Prue’s head. “I love you” Prue looked up and smiled at her. “You too babe” Piper went over to Phoebe and rested her hand on the top of her head. “Bye sweetie have a good day and get lots of rest and if you need me call and Prue will be home with you and…” “Piper I get it” Phoebe snapped Prue reached over and smacked her leg. “Hey she was just being nice to you” Phoebe’s eyes filled with tears. “I am sorry Piper” Piper bent down and guided Phoebe into her arms she hugged carefully giving Prue a raised eye brow. Prue shrugged her shoulders. Phoebe pushed away after a few seconds. “I am sorry Piper” Phoebe went back to eating as if nothing happened. Piper kissed Phoebe once before leaving.
“Phoebe hurry up and eat we need to change your band aid and if it looks infected you going to see a doctor” Phoebe rolled her eyes. “Ok” She said. Phoebe closed her eyes and tried to ignore the pounding in her head.
Phoebe met Prue in the bathroom with the book of shadows “Ok lets get this band aid thingy done and find our demon and eat lunch” Prue raised her eye brow “You hungry already kid” Phoebe ignored her and sat on the side of the tub. She carefully took her shirts off. And put the BOS in her lap. She began flipping through it while Prue got out the supplies. “How far did we get last night Prue?”
Prue looked at the book and shrugged “Um not to far you got tired remember” Phoebe nodded and sighed when Prue took the book away from her. “Sit up straight Phoebe” Phoebe did as she was told and winced as Prue tugged carefully at the band aid. “Phoebe this may sting a little” Phoebe bit her lip as Prue got the band aid away. “Ok sweetie the good news is it looks sore but not infected. But I am going to have to put more meds on them” Phoebe nodded “Kay but Prue after this we got to make sure that demon is gone” Prue locked eyes with Phoebe “That demon really scared you huh” Phoebe’s eyes dropped “um yeah I guess I was just scared he was going to eat me and I would never see you or Piper again and I just got back” Phoebe rambled. Prue could do nothing more but lean in and kiss Phoebe’s cheeks. “Its ok I am here and I promise right after we are done with this we will go get a big quilt and curl up on the couch with hot coco and look for your demon” Phoebe giggled “You actually made that sound fun” Prue smiled “Well we should make demon hunting fun right” Phoebe nodded and smiled despite how cold and sore she felt.


“PRUE THIS IS HOPELSS” Phoebe yelled and shoved the BOS on to Prue’s lap. Prue’s jaw dropped as Phoebe stormed off. They had been looking through the BOS for over two hours now and Prue noticed how Phoebe’s mood just seemed to get worse and worse. “Yeah I am glad I don’t have to work this week NOT” Prue muttered as she followed Phoebe into the kitchen.
Phoebe sat at the table with a carton of two day old take out eating cold. She was starving again she had already eaten her breakfast Prue’s breakfast two apples a basket of strawberries and ten cookies. Not to mention she drank the coco Prue had made for her. Prue had even been so nice to add marshmallows and whip creams to hers. She was not only hungry but freezing and her head was pounding she swore this was worse then Piper’s migraines that she got. As much as she wanted to tell Prue and just go to bed and forget everything she knew that was not an option it would only cause Prue and Piper to start worrying more then they needed to and it would take the focus off of finding the demon.
“Phoebe what on earth is wrong and why are you eating again” Prue asked in a demanding voice but her eyes were warm and full of concern.
Phoebe fought back a yawn. “Nothing Prue I am fine. I am just hungry” Prue sat down and reached out and pulled the carton away from Phoebe. “You should not eat this honey I can’t remember how long ago it was when we ate this.” Prue tossed it into the garbage can and went to the fridge she pulled out cheese and bread. “I am no Piper but I can make a mean grilled cheese sandwich is that ok” Phoebe smiled and nodded “Sure thanks Prue.” Prue nodded “No problem now what do you say we eat lunch and we go have my car cleaned and go out and get air” Phoebe nodded “yeah that sounds nice maybe we can go back to where I was attacked and maybe I could channel into Phoebe vision” Phoebe said in her cute voice.
Prue set a plate in front of her sister. “Phoebe do you think that maybe you are over reacting to this”
Phoebe glared at Prue “NO” she yelled. Prue held up her hand “Whoa chickie roo calm down and watch how you talk to me”
“Sorry” Phoebe mumbled “but Prue you just don’t get it this demon was nasty and it hurt more then you can imagine when he tried to eat me I was crying Prue me crying I just don’t want you or Piper to ever feel that pain please just bare with me”
Prue nodded “Ok I am sorry I am just worried about you that’s all you know I always worry about you”
Phoebe managed to smile “Its not a problem” She took a deep breath to try and control the pounding in her head it was starting to get so bad that she wanted to cry. But before she could even get farther into her thoughts of crying Piper burst into the back door. “FREAKING JERK SENT ME HOME I WAS FINE I AM FINE I FEEL FINE I MEAN HONESTLY DO I LOOK SICK NO I DON’T THINK SO I AM FINE” Piper yelled.
Prue’s jaw was hanging for the second time that day “Piper not that I am not glad to see you and I hear you are fine but honey what are you doing home?” Piper went over to the table she reached down on to Phoebe’s plate and grabbed the last bit of her sandwich on her plate and started munching on it. Phoebe went to grab it back and got pulled into a vision she saw Piper’s hand and then all of a sudden the vision was just cut short like the power went out. She rubbed her temples and tuned into what Piper was saying. “My boss says that I am sick and I have a fever” Prue instantly got up and went over and placed her hand on Piper’s forehead “Sweetie you are warm” “Yes Warm but not to sick not to work I am fine I can work” “Piper you cook for people you can’t be around food if you have even the slightest fever” “Details” Piper whined.
Prue smiled “Well it looks like my week is not going to be so boring now that I have two little sister’s that need me to look after them” “I don’t need you to look after me I am FINE” Piper said as she got up. She went over to the counter and started slamming things showing Prue that she was not feeling good. She slammed her hand on the counter not seeing that her glass cutting bored was sitting out and balanced on a book so her hand went through it.
Phoebe’s eyes got wide as she saw Piper’s hand go right through the bored. That had been in her vision. If the vision had not stopped she would have known her sister was going to put her hand through glass.
Piper squealed “augh eww” She whined as Prue rushed to her. “All this blood is making me feel dizzy” Prue wrapped her hand with a cloth. “Phoebe get our coats” Phoebe jumped up quickly and stopped short when the room started spinning. “Phoebe” Prue said looking at her while holding on to Piper’s hand. “Are you ok?” Phoebe took a few seconds to catch her breath. “Yeah I am fine” She picked her self up and left the room.
“Prue I don’t like blood” Piper whined. Prue smiled and guided Piper to the door. Her heart was telling her something was wrong with both of her sister’s.

Phoebe sat in a hard cold chair out in the hospital waiting room. She was freezing and starving and now very concerned about her vision she should have been able to see Piper putting her hand through that glass cutting bored but her vision was cut short and that had never happened before. Prue stepped out of the room Piper was in to check on Phoebe. She noticed Phoebe looked flushed all of a sudden and upset. “Phoebe” Phoebe jumped to her feet “How’s Piper” Prue smiled “She is fine she just needed some stitches and to take the rest of the week off from work and cooking looks like we are going to be eating lots of take out” Phoebe smiled “Yeah cause your cooking will kill us” “Hey your still alive and you ate my sandwich” Phoebe smiled “Yeah I guess so”
Prue put her hand on Phoebe’s fore head “Honey you are starting to get warm do you feel good?”
“Sure why not” Phoebe lied. Prue narrowed her eyes. “Phoebe I know when you are lying I have always been able to tell so tell me what is going on” Prue said in her best I am not kidding voice. “Ok so I don’t feel good” Prue stood in front of Phoebe. She made sure know one was around and she pulled Phoebe’s shirts out and looked down at her chest. Her slash still looked the same. She reached down Phoebe’s shirt and touched it. It was letting off a lot of heat thought. “Um Phoebe maybe we should have you checked out”
Phoebe sighed “No Prue I am ok honest I am fine I don’t need to see a doctor” Prue took a deep breath “Tell me exactly what does not feel good” “My head hurts and I am cold and I am starving” Phoebe decided to keep the last part of her vision being cut off a secret until she was sure of what was going on.
Piper came out of the room a few seconds later sucking on a sucker. “Um Piper aren’t you a little old for that?” Phoebe asked? Piper shook her head “Nope you know Dr. Lewis Phoebe he always gives them to us because he’s been our family doctor for years I think it was you that bit him as a child” Phoebe glared at her but jumped when she heard Dr. Lewis’s deep voice “It was her that bit me” Phoebe blushed and Prue choose this moment to speak up. “Um Dr. Lewis since you are on call and we are all here Phoebe’s got a nasty gash on her chest that I thought was fine last night but I am not so sure now can you look at it.”
“PRUE” Phoebe hissed Prue ignored her and pushed her towards the examining room where Dr. Lewis was already heading. Piper giggled and followed her sulking sister. “Now don’t bite him Pheebes” “Shut up Piper” Phoebe hissed again earning a smack on her leg from Prue. Phoebe was about to say something about Piper getting away with it when Prue hit her too. “Knock it of you too” She said sternly but her eyes were showing she was not mad.
Phoebe took off her shirts turning a deeper shade of red as each shirt went off. Dr. Lewis looked at it and touched. “Wow Phoebe this is burning up it is very inflamed I’ll give you some cream to put on it and a pill you can take orally to make sure it does not infect the rest of you. Phoebe smiled “Great thanks” “Um she just told me she has a headache and she is all cold and starving and she feels warm to me is there something we should do for her?”
“Well besides the being hungry part I think its just a case of the flu I am saying lots of rest and liquids but if her fever spikes higher then 102.3 bring her in” “Ok and Piper she has a fever but says she feels fine the same thing for her” He nodded “Yup but if her fever spikes too bring her in but other then that make sure they get rest” Prue nodded and thanked him. Prue nodded
“Ok my sickies lets go get your meds and go home” Piper nodded her hand was now starting to hurt. Phoebe put her top on “But Prue what about going to see where I was attacked”
“Phoebe you are sick you need to be at home and resting” Piper said helping Phoebe adjust her hood.
“Yeah Phoebe I think we should go home and you and Piper can crawl into my big bed and rest under the nice blankets and I will bring you some tea and we can look though the BOS one more time maybe we missed something”
Phoebe sighed “Fine whatever” Prue rolled her eyes. “Fine whatever” she mimicked.

Phoebe lay next to Piper with silent tears streaming down her face. Her head hurt so bad she wanted to pull it off her head. Piper was reading a book quietly but put it down when she heard Phoebe sniff. “Phoebe what’s the matter” “My head hurts Piper really really bad” Piper sighed “Phoebe how long has your head been hurting?”
“Since last night” Phoebe said in a sob “Phoebe you should have told us that I’ll give you one of my migraine pills ok that should help with the pain but Phoebe you can’t hide stuff from us” Piper said getting up and leaving the room. She came backs minutes later with her bottle of pills. She took one out and handed it to Phoebe.
“Thanks Piper” Phoebe said as she took the pill she popped it into her mouth and took a sip from her water. “What’s Prue doing?” Piper shrugged “I think she said something about fixing dinner or something but its quiet so I don’t know I hope she is not ruining my kitchen”
Phoebe smiled “Yeah me too cause then when your better you will have no where to cook for us”
Piper hit her sister carefully “So not funny Phoebe Marie” Phoebe smiled “Well I thought it was so that is all that counts”
Piper nodded “I guess so if you says so” “Well I do” Piper leaned into the pillows and Phoebe traced her finger on Prue’s deep purple silk sheets “Piper if I told you something will you promise not to tell Prue until I am ready” Piper sighed “Phoebe you know I don’t like keeping things from each other” Phoebe sighed “But I will tell her honest just not right this second cause I don’t want her stressing out she is already worried about us and money and getting her car cleaned and…” “Ok Phoebe point taken what is it?”
Phoebe sighed “Well I kind of think something is funky with my power” Piper’s eyes got big “What Phoebe” “Well right before you put your hand through the cutting bored I started having a vision of your hand but then all of a sudden it just stopped as if the vision died and then two minutes later your hand went through glass” Piper’s eyes were wide “We have to tell Prue Phoebe what if we are attacked or what if something is wrong with you we need to figure out what is going on”
Phoebe nodded “I know that Piper honest I do but I don’t want Prue to know yet it will only worry her”
Piper sighed “Phoebe Prue is going to be so mad when she finds out?”

“Ahem to let you know Prue’s pissed now does some mind filling me in on what the two of you are talking about” Piper clamped her mouth shut and Phoebe felt all the blood drain from her face.
“Uh Hi Prue” Phoebe said in her baby sweet voice “No not uh don’t start the cute act Phoebe Marie cause its not going to work I am way to angry at you. And you too Piper what were you thinking agreeing to keeping something like that from me? I know you know better then that bull shit” Piper winced and looked down. Even as an adult getting scolded from Prue sucked and made her feel five again. “Prue don’t yell at Piper for my mistakes I just didn’t want you to worry anymore then you have too and with both Piper and I off our feet…” “Phoebe with you off your feet I need to know that stuff ten times more what if something happened huh? What if God for bid you or Piper were killed because of your dumb idea” “Prue” Piper said quietly trying to get Prue to cool off before she hurt Phoebe’s feelings any more then she already had. “No Piper don’t even start to defend her. Phoebe I am your sister not the enemies you need to tell me stuff like that. If you ever keep anything that big from me again you will be more sorry then you ever have been in your life. We may all be adults now Phoebe. But not normal ones we are the CHARMED ones, which means all the rules of the adult world don’t apply in this house. We depend on each other to stay alive we are a team and more importantly a family”
Phoebe hung her head and let the tears she had just managed to stop to start flowing freely. “I am sorry Prue I guess I am still a screw up huh? I can never manage to do anything u p to your standards and I am sorry for that.” Prue inwardly groaned “PHOEBE that is not what I said and for the record I don’t think you are a screw up and I never have. I may not have liked what you were doing with your life at times because I know what you are capable of but never once have I told you are a screw up” Piper cleared her throat. “Phoebe all Prue was trying to say was that you can’t try and protect us by keeping things from us that may only make things worse” Phoebe nodded “I am sorry OK I am sorry” Phoebe whined. “Phoebe we get that you are sorry and you are forgiven but just NEVER do that again do you understand me young lady?” Phoebe giggled “whoa flash backs to middle school” Prue smiled and leaned down and used her thumbs to wipe away Phoebe’s tears. The she planted a kiss on each cheek.
Piper moved over a little so Prue could crawl all the way onto her own big bed. “OK so we need to talk” Prue announced as she put her hand on the Piper’s forehead. “And get you some fever reducer” Piper groaned “Prue that makes my stomach hurt” Prue smiled “I know sweetgirl but please don’t make me lecture you too. You need to get better fast cause when you are sick your powers go all wonkey” Piper giggled “Wonkey huh?” Prue rolled her eyes but her eyes were smiling. Phoebe smiled “I think you should lecture her Prue” “Oh you do, do you?” Prue said giggling “Hey” Piper crossed her arms over her chest “Can I get a vote on this?” Phoebe and Prue looked at each other. “NO” They said together causing Piper to roll her eyes at them. Prue got up and left the room and was back in record timing. She handed Piper a water bottle and a fever reducer and she handed Phoebe an apple and yogurt. “Oh Prue you knew I was starving how sweet” Phoebe said biting into the apple. Piper scrunched up her nose and looked at the pill in her hand. But she looked over at Phoebe munching on her apple and she looked so pale and her eyes were blood shot. Piper knew in her heart that Prue was right she did need to feel better to have more control on her powers. Prue smiled as Piper shoved the pill into her mouth and chased it down with the water. “Good girl” Piper rolled her eyes again. “Arf arf” Prue smacked her slightly. “OK Phoebe so you are telling me that you saw Piper’s hand and then your power just stopped” Phoebe nodded “Yup” she said through bites. “I saw her long sleeved purple shirt and her hand with her beaded purple bracelet on it” Prue put her hand up. “Wait it was in color I always thought your visions were in black and white” Phoebe shook her head. “No it was black and white I am just so used to them I know what colors of things are usually supposed to be. And she was wearing that shirt at the time.” Prue looked over at Piper she was now wear a light blue tank top that went with her plaid pj bottoms. But sure enough on her wrist was still the purple bracelet and Prue noticed in her laundry hamper Piper’s purple shirt and black skirt lying there. She spotted all the blood on the sleeve of the shirt. Her stomach churned a little but she tried to make a joke out of it to make her feel better. “What Piper am I supposed to do your laundry now?” Piper giggled “Sorry Prue I was in here after your orders and no way was I keeping that shirt on and HEY I do the laundry around here” Prue giggled “I was teasing you Piper” Piper smiled “I know” Phoebe coughed and groaned that cough had sent a stabbing pain through her head, Piper’s migraine medication was working a little bit her head no longer felt like a jack hammer was going through it at full force but coughing had just made it feel like someone jammed a knife through her skull and was twisting it around in side of her brain kind of making a brain smoothie” Prue leaned over and rubbed Phoebe’s back much like she had, when Phoebe was just a baby, and could not sleep.
Piper licked her lips “I don’t like this at all I have a bad feeling in my gut” Phoebe scoffed “You don’t like it? I am sure if I turned my head right and then down brain smoothie would start dripping out of me ear” “EWW” Piper groaned turning slightly green. Prue giggled even when Phoebe was sick she could make Piper turn green. Phoebe was the only person she knew that could make Piper turn green in 1.2 seconds. “Prue it’s not funny” Piper whined “My stomach already hurts from that flipping pain killer you made me take” Prue rolled her eyes but smiled. She moved her other hand to Piper. She had her lay down and she pulled up her shirt half way and started rubbing Piper’s stomach while she kept rubbing Phoebe’s back at the same time. She could not picture her life with out her two baby sister’s they were her world. Each so different but each could make her feel loved and special and wanted in no time. She sometimes felt like she needed her own space or that she was being taken for granted but it was moments like this that she knew she was in the best place she could be. Just helping her sister’s feel better was her job and it was what she was born for. Phoebe sighed “OK we already checked the BOS what do we do now?” Prue bit her lip. “I got an idea but are not going to like it much” Phoebe looked confused “What is it Prue?” Piper locked her eyes with Prue. “Yeah Prue what is it?” Prue smiled at her. “You are not going to like it very much either” Phoebe’s eyes got big “Uh oh now I know its bad” Prue nodded “Gross maybe bad not horribly but maybe slightly painful” Phoebe’s eyes got bigger “What Prue what is it?” “Well um that demons germs and stuff is still in your cut from when he tried to eat you. So I am thinking is I cut a tiny piece of your wound open and let it bleed into a bowl and use it to summon him.”
Phoebe scrunched up her nose “But I think he is dead.”
Prue nodded “He might be sweetie but spit has a lot of DNA in it and might bring another one of him and we may find more answers what’s the worst that could happen nothing happens and we find a new approach.
Piper bit her own lip “That is Nasty Prue and the worst is she could get an infection.”
“Piper I will clean out the cut and I will clean the knife I use to do it with before I do it right now I think its our only way to go.
“I’ll do it” Phoebe said sounding braver then she felt.

“Piper I don’t want to tell you again I need you in here with us to tend to her wound once I open it” Piper stomped in the room with the first aid kid clutched in her good arm. “I already saw enough blood today Prue and it was MINE” Piper said holding out her hand to remind her big sister of the stitches that were freshly put in her hand. Prue rolled her eyes “Piper we need to do this sweetie we need to find that demon and I promise you once we vanquish him you and Phoebe can have rest time and not even look at blood” Phoebe ignored her sisters and their bicker war and she carefully removed her shirt. “Ok Prue I am ready” Prue nodded and lit a bunch of candles. “Ok I am going to cut your wound open just enough to get about a teaspoonful of blood and the second I am done O want you Piper to quickly clean out her wound and bandage it. While you are doing this I will be calling this jerk got it?” Phoebe and Piper both nodded. Prue helped Phoebe lie back. “Ok I am sorry honey I am so sorry that I got to do this you know how much I love you right” Phoebe nodded “I understand Prue I am ok I swear” Prue nodded and looked at Piper “Look away until I tell you to look” Piper sighed “No I am ok I swear” Prue nodded and waited until Piper had Phoebe’s hand latched into her own hand before she brought a knife to Phoebe’s skin. She watched as Phoebe scrunched her eyes shut. Prue giggled as she watched Piper’s knuckles turning white. Piper was such a goofball sometimes. Prue quickly cut Phoebe’s chest. “Owwie” Phoebe whined and Piper leaned over and placed her lips on Phoebe’s forehead and left them there. Until Prue collected the amount blood she needed. Then she left Phoebe and Piper moved from above Phoebe to a side of her where she could start.
Twenty Minutes later Piper had Phoebe all cleaned up and even some pain killers into her system. To take away from the pain of the wound. Piper was surprised to see how well Phoebe was handling this whole situation. Phoebe used to be such a drama queen when she was little and it came to pain. But Phoebe was ready to get up and start helping Prue deal with demon. Piper on the other hand wanted to help her sister’s but her stomach was hurting to much. “Prue can I go lay down” She asked. Prue looked over at her. “Um stay close Piper incase the power of three is needed.” Piper nodded “I’ll just curl up on the couch over there. My stomach is just killing me. It was the fever reducer and all the blood” Phoebe giggled “Sorry Piper” Piper waved her hand at her telling her all was forgiven.

Prue chanted while Phoebe rested her head on her big sister’s shoulders. But she gasped when a demon appeared in front of them. It was hideous just like the last one. She gasped and backed away. “Prue that looks just like him” Prue had already figured that out. “Piper freeze him” Piper flicked her wrists from her spot on the couch and the demon froze in mid move towards Prue and Phoebe. “Ok Phoebe come on calm down Piper and I won’t let anything happen to you” Phoebe seemed to nod but Prue could tell that she was scared. Her head pounding and her hunger was getting to her. “Ok Piper only un freeze his head. Piper sighed “Prue I am not all that good at that” She whined a little. “Piper I don’t care just try it damn it” Prue shouted at her. That caused Piper to jump a little bit. She closed her eyes and flicked her wrists. But very much to her surprise the demon’s head unfroze. He growled at them. “Witches make the best dinners so tasty kind of taste like chicken” “ok eww” Piper whined again. Prue rolled her eyes and glared at him. “Look buddy you have no room to talk considering you can’t even move. So here’s the deal you tell me who you are what you are doing and what you want and how many more like you are still out there. I may not vanquish you” Prue lied through her teeth.
The demon took a few seconds to think about it. “You can’t make me talk” Prue glared at him and looked at Phoebe “Can you power house kick right now?” Phoebe nodded “Ok then get his face” Phoebe nodded again and took a step back and ran at the demon she kicked his face as hard as she could. She then fell to the ground her head was pounding she had never felt so much pain in her life. She started screaming out in pain. “Phoebe” Piper rushed to her sister and wrapped her arms around her from behind. “Shh your ok come on look at me you are ok” The demon laughed “Witch you are dying” He snorted with laughter. Prue could feel the anger she had beginning to boil her blood. “what do you mean she is dying?” Prue hissed. He snorted “Right like I am going to tell you” Prue was about to say something else when Piper got up and stormed over to the demon. She reached up and put her hand on his cheek. Prue was about to say something when she saw Piper grab a bunch of his skin and began to squeeze as hard as she could. She ripped her hand away tearing away of the portion of the demons skin. “Eww” Phoebe and Prue said in union as they watched the demon scream out in pain and saw Piper’s good hand being covered by a greenish yellow gooze. Prue was actually speechless for 2.2 seconds. The Demon wailed in pain but could do nothing considering her was still frozen. “Unless you want the other side of your face ripped off you had better start talking. And another thing don’t mess with a little sister of a witch cause you won’t win oh and I am a little sister” Piper said tauntingly. Prue snickered and Phoebe finally managed to pick herself up off the ground. Piper dropped the demon flesh on the ground and took a step back. All of a sudden she turned really green. It had just dawned on her of what she had done. Prue started laughing a little. “Piper go get a breath of fresh air honey” Piper nodded and made a beeline for the door. Phoebe went back over to Prue. Prue cleared her throat. “Now as you heard my LITTLE sister” Prue said making sure that demon understood he still had an older sister left to deal with “TALK” “She was bitten by my brother she is slowly dying and her powers will be absorbed into our kind to make us stronger” Phoebe flipped through the book. “PRUE LOOK” She said as she found a page that had been stuck to the back of another Page. Prue’s eyes got wide. They had found a vanquishing spell and a reversal spell to make Phoebe better. But what she read made her want to barf right there. She knew Phoebe was feeling the same way by how green she was turning. “Good thing for Piper” Muttered as Phoebe grabbed on to her stomach.
Prue looked at Phoebe they were making the potion to reverse the magic that was killing her and draining her of her powers. “yuck”
Phoebe nodded “Yes it is very gross but I have to do it” Prue nodded and watched as Phoebe went over to the demon. She grabbed a little cup before going over to him. She put it to where he was bleeding. She let him in bleed into the cup for a few minutes. Then she brought the cup to her lips and drank the blood.
Prue felt herself turning green. Phoebe turned really pale and dropped to her knees. Prue quickly said the vanquishing potion and smiled as the demon blew up into a million pieces covering them in his green ooze.
Piper had come into the room as Phoebe dropped to her knees. She ran to her. “Phoebe are you ok” Phoebe nodded “Yeah I just need a cup of water and to go brush my teeth for a really really long time” Prue giggled as Phoebe ran out of the room.
Piper looked at Prue “What’s that all about?” Prue motioned for Piper to join her at the book. Prue pointed to the page that told them how to cure Phoebe. Piper’s eyes got wide.
“Oh my gosh that is so so so GROSS” Piper said turning green all over again. Prue started laughing again. “Ok come girlie lets get out of this attic and get you back into bed. Then I am going to go check on Phoebe to make sure she is not scrubbing her mouth out. “Why I would I would bleach my mouth if I were her” Piper said to Prue as Prue put her hand on her back to lead her out of the room. “Yeah see that’s why you have a big sister cause if you were her I would not let you bleach your mouth out.” Piper giggled and rolled her eyes.

Prue made sure Piper was laying down before she went and found Phoebe. Phoebe was in fact brushing her teeth. Prue waited until Phoebe had the brush out of her mouth and was putting a new amount of tooth paste on it before Prue reached over and grabbed it from her. “Hey” Phoebe whined “I need that” “Yeah no you still need your gums and your teeth as well and if I let you brush them anymore you won’t have any left” Phoebe rolled her eyes “whatever” Prue rolled her own eyes. “Other then your mouth feeling totally nasty how do you feel?” Phoebe stopped to think about it. “Better actually I still have a slight headache but its going away very fast and I am not cold. But I am still very hungry but other then that I feel pretty good” Prue smiled “That’s great I am happy for you but I think you should get something to eat and then go rest with Piper. Your body took quite a beating the last two days” Phoebe nodded “Tell me about it” Prue guided Phoebe out of the bathroom.
Ten minutes later Phoebe was munching on a tv dinner Prue warmed up for her. “Do you have any idea how nasty that was Prue?” Phoebe whined. Prue shook her head “No I don’t know how gross it was but I can guess how gross it was” Phoebe sipped on her diet coke. “It was gross Prue which brings me to a point do you think there are more of those demons out there?” Prue shrugged “ I don’t know sweetheart maybe but even if there is we know how to handle them” “Yeah I know how we handled them but Prue that demon is just heck of scary and I don’t like them and you have to drink their blood if they bite you and…” “Phoebe you are worrying about things that you should not be worrying about things that you should not be” Phoebe jumped to her feet “how could you think that Prue what if it comes back to eat us” Prue sighed “Well we could keep calling them but Phoebe we called the demons with the DNA and only one showed up probably more should have come with the DNA so we might have vanquished the last of their kind” Phoebe nodded “I guess you could be right but Prue could we please go the sight where I was originally attacked to see if I get a vision I just really want to make sure they are truly gone” Prue bit the side of her lip and looked up towards the stairs. “Well I guess we could go but Piper’s sleeping right now” “So we leave her asleep” Prue crinkled up her nose “No we have to tell her we are leaving if she wakes up and finds us gone she could very well have a heart attack” Phoebe sighed “But Prue I want to go now I don’t want for her to wake up” Phoebe whined. “Hey now don’t whine it doesn’t help anything” Prue looked at her watch. It was going to get dark out side soon. “Ok here is the deal you go get our coats and meet me in the car. I am going to go up stairs and tell Piper where we are going. It could take a few minutes if she wants to go with us because you know her she has to brush her hair” Phoebe giggled and nodded she ran out of the room.

Prue crept quietly up the stairs to her room where Piper was sound asleep she felt bad that she had to wake her up. She looked so peaceful and after the day she had Prue was taking that as a good thing.” Prue sat down next to Piper and put her hand on her forehead she in fact was still warm. “Well the good thing here is yours is not demon related” Prue bent down to Piper’s ear. “Piper wake up come on Piper” Piper’s eyes fluttered open. She looked dazed and confused. “What Prue?” She whined. Prue rolled her eyes. “What is with you and Phoebe whining all the time?” Prue shook her head “Piper Phoebe wants to go down to where she was fist attacked she wants to make sure the demon is really gone by seeing if she can get any visions. You can come if you want to or you can stay here in my nice warm bed and sleep” Piper looked at Prue. “Do you have everything under control?” Prue nodded “Do you mind if I don’t come?” Prue shook her head. Piper put her head back on the pillow and closed her eyes. “Love you call if you need me be safe” Piper mumbled Prue smiled “Love you to get some sleep” “Mmmm” was Piper’s response.

“It took you long enough” Phoebe said as Prue got into the driver’s seat. “Hey I had to make sure your sister was ok” “Is she?” Phoebe asked as buckled her seatbelt. “She’s sore and has a fever probably has that flue that is going around which is making her tired but other then that she is fine. At least I don’t have to worry about her illness being demon related” “Or her injury for that matter she’s the one who slammed her hand through a glass cutting bored. Prue giggled “That is true she did do that” “I can’t believe she did that but what I can’t believe more is that she ripped off half of that demon’s face. It was priceless” Prue giggled “Yeah and the look on her face afterwards was priceless she was like oh my gosh what did I just do?” Phoebe started laughing “I just can’t believe she did it?” “Why not” Prue asked clearing her throat “You are her little sister she was just trying to protect you. You heard what she said to the demon right” Phoebe nodded “Yeah don’t mess with a little sister I heard it loud and clear” “Well see then that is why is ripped the face off a demon. You should see what I would do to a demon if it messed with you or Piper I can tell you it would not be pretty” Phoebe giggled “Yeah I would not think it was pretty I have seen what you have done to some of our jerk of ex boy friends” Prue nodded and got a smug look on her face “Just remember that the next time you try to hide something from me I may have to do that to you” Phoebe rolled her eyes “Yeah I am scared” Prue laughed “You should be” “Park here Prue” Prue parked the car and the two girls got out of the car. “So is this building Rachel’s new store?” Phoebe nodded “Yeah look in the window Prue it’s awesome and we did like all the base painting and we even got in a paint fight then her husband did all the construction” Prue peaked inside one of the windows and saw castles that you could go through a dragon you could sit on “Wow Phoebe you guys did a great job” Phoebe beamed she loved when Prue praised her. “Ok so now show me where you were attacked.” Phoebe nodded and showed Prue around back where there was a dark alley. “Phoebe” Prue scolded “What” She asked innocently. “Why on earth would you go out into the dark alley when there was a street right there and don’t tell me you parked my car back here” Phoebe shook her head “No I parked it on the street where you parked” “Ok that brings me back to my fist question why would you come out back here?” Phoebe shrugged “I don’t know I didn’t really think about it.” Phoebe became to touch things in the street. Prue looked around and noticed a blood stain on the ground. “Phoebe over here” Phoebe ran over “Wow this is where I almost got eaten” She bean to touch around and twenty minutes later she had not gotten anything. “Phoebe we should get home Piper is going to be waking up soon and we have been gone for an hour” “Wow an hour really?” Phoebe asked. Prue nodded. Phoebe sighed “Well I guess I should take that as a good sign that I didn’t see anything” Prue nodded “It’s fine Phoebe you are safe honey we can handle situation I promise you” Phoebe looked down at the ground. Prue wrapped her arms around Phoebe’s shoulder’s. “So that’s been what this whole search has been about is your not feeling safe huh” Phoebe nodded “Maybe just a little bit” Prue let Phoebe have some thinking time.
Piper was awake and on the couch wrapped in a blanket with a box of tissues in front of her. “Oh look it’s Miss I am fine” Phoebe said in a taunting voice sitting down next to her. “Wasn’t it around noon today this little girl came storming into this house claiming she was fine?” Phoebe asked Prue. Piper hit Phoebe and Prue giggled “I believe it was” Piper rolled her eyes “I was fine then and I am not a little girl” Prue laughed and sat on the other side of Piper. “You’re my little girl and…” “I am your baby girl” Phoebe cut her off and said with her baby face. “Yes that’s what I was going to say you big goober” Phoebe nodded “I know I am”
Prue got all serious “Ok girls lets talk” Phoebe and Piper nodded. “I know that we are always dealing with scary stuff but we are a family we can get through these things” Piper and Phoebe nodded again. “And if you are ever scared about something demon or human related lets talk to each other” Piper nodded and smiled “I like that but we will be doing a lot of talking because I am always scared” Prue giggled. Phoebe sighed “I sometimes feel like being scared is a weakness but I will try better I promise. I don’t ever want to put our family endanger” Prue nodded “It’s not a weakness and its ok to be scared Phoebe that’s why it’s called the power of three” Phoebe nodded “Your right I promise I will try my best” Prue nodded “That’s what I want Pheebs is for you to try. Now I want you and Piper back up stairs in bed. I will bring you up some tea and soup” Piper and Phoebe groaned but both managed to climb up the stairs. Prue looked around well having a week off seemed to pay off” Prue laughed as she heard Piper and Phoebe bickering over who got what side of the bed they got.
