---

The doorbell of the Halliwell Manor rang numerous time, the three sisters look up at the door, Piper is taken by surprise and nervously looks to Phoebe who seems familiar with the string of events unfolding before them. "What time is it?" Prue asked, closing the Book of Shadows shut. Piper looked to the grandfather clock and then back to her two sisters "Just before six."

Phoebe rolled her eyes and said "I'll get it" as she starts to approach the door, Piper cautiously takes her position as Prue creeps confidently up the stairs. The bell door bells rings a couple more times, no more loudly and quickly then ever before. "Alright already" Phoebe sighed, the door suddenly flies open and a sparkling electrical ball of energy flies out of Rodriguez's palm. Hitting Phoebe at speed, the impact sends her flying through the air, legs dangling and then with a thud she hit the wall and slipped down onto the stairs below.

Jumping out from the separating wall, Piper screams "Phoebe" as the youngest sisters rolls onto the floor. Another energy ball spirals through the air, this time at Piper, she goes to freeze but is caught off guard by the sparking ball energy sending her flying through the conservatory doors causing a loud shattering crash. Prompting Prue, she looks as both her sisters are down, she panics and throws out her arm before Rodriguez can send a bolt of electricity in her direction. The telekinetic energy takes the warlock off his feet and smashing through the wall separating the foyer from the living area. "You'll stay down if you know what's good for you!" Prue spat as she knelt down to Phoebe, feeling her neck she fails to find a pulse. "Oh. My. God. You son of a b***h!" Prue screams as she scrambles to her feet, running away from Phoebe she enters the conservatory to tend to Piper.

Like her younger sister, Piper is in a critical state and not knowing what to do Prue breaks down at her sisters side and cries. "Piper" She mumbles, fighting through the tears shaking her sister. "Come on sweetie, no - wake up Piper, come on don't do this to me" Prue murmured into Piper's chest, supporting the middle sister's head on her lap. Looking up something hits her, looking around she calls out. "Leo? Leo please. If you can hear me -"

Sounds a lot like "Deja Vu All Over Again" (?) but its good!
Would be great to see where its heading!

[Primrose_Empath]

*reads* Hmmmm. Very interesting story you've got going here Vengeance.

It's like "Deja Vu All Over Again" (one of my favorite epis, btw), but with a twist to it.

I'd like to see where you're heading with this fic, so please update soon!

[Astral Echo]

Glad people picked up on it, it's taken a very different direction already at the end of that part, you should quickly work out where it is heading the next two parts which will work as the first "chapter". This is how the episode "Deja Vu All Over Again" could of ended and hopefully if time is on my side, I can show beyond that too.

[Astral Chaos]

Firstly I LOVE the header for the first chapter, interesting how you have Piper and Phoebe black, white and grey with a rippling/pencil effect, whilst you have Prue in a normal colored picture. It makes you think that there is something important happening to Prue.

This fanfic is very intriguing

It's quite short so there isn't much to comment on.

You have shown a very good and varied choice of language, although you used the word 'sparkling' to describe an energy ball twice. My suggestion would be to use other descriptive words to describe an energy ball in the future.

I will defiantly be keeping an eye out for future installments.

[Astral Echo]

Thanks for all the comments guys, they've all been very encouraging - as if on cue, here is part two of Chapter One!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue and white lights appeared from the ceiling, Prue watched them as they danced around in the air moving across the parlour and then forming the figure of an angel. Leo Wyatt materialized from with in the glowing orbs and as they faded away - Leo's eyes met Piper's lifeless body which was sprawled out on the ground. "Piper!" Leo mumbled, tears filled his bright blue eyes and a lump formed in his throat.

Scrambling onto the ground, kneeling by her side, Leo lay his hands on top of Piper's chest. Stretching out his fingers, a golden ray of sunlight rained down from Leo's palms; Prue watched as Leo's healing touch got to work. "Is she going to be alright, please say she's going okay!" Prue rambled as her emotions got the best of her, it was rarity for Prue but it was certainly taking it's toll on her now. She couldn't just watch as her younger sister, her best friend struggle through the pain. "Leo?" She muttered, hoping for some kind of response however the blubbering whitelighter just continued concentrating on his soul mate.

Suddenly bursting through the doors of the Manor, gun raised and eyes squinted - Andrew Trudeau entered the family home. A cold shiver ran down his spine as he saw the destruction around him, first noticing an unconscience Rodriguez in the next room, he then moved his eyes to pale Phoebe Halliwell who lay at the bottom of the stairs. "Prue?" Andy shouted, an eerie silence drifted through the famous Halliwell Manor.
Shuffling could then be heard, followed by the noise of a pair of high heeled shoes walking along the wood floor. Prue then stumbled into the Foyer, a total wreck with her hair a mess and tears stained to her cheeks. Andy abruptly ran over and embraced Prue, they shared a quiet moment before Andy broke the silence. "What happened? Phoebe?"

Prue darted a look to her baby sister, who was lying flat out on the hard floor, Prue gasped. "I-I-I don't know. Rodriguez he - he!" Prue was lost for words, Andy strolled over and knelt with one knee on the ground next to Phoebe's waist. Placing two fingers onto her neck he waited to find a pulse, Prue joined his side falling to the ground to grab her sisters hand. "Leo, get in here! Now!" Prue screamed as Andy pulled away. "Leo!"

[*Sammi!*]

Oh no! Phoebe cant die!

Is she going to survive? and very well pitched about Prue, she hardly ever let herself ramble like that!

More please!

[Astral Echo]

Supporting Piper with his arm, Leo walked into the Foyer to see both Andy and Prue down by the youngest sisters side. Piper nearly broke down as she Phoebe's body lying at the bottom of the stairs, clasping her hands around her mouth she fell to her knees. "Oh god no!" Piper whimpered, Prue crawled over and hugged her younger sister. "Thank god your okay, I don't know what I would done if I lost you!" Prue cried, Piper sobbed uncontrollably as Andy moved away from Phoebe's body, placing his hand over her eyes he closed them slowly fighting back the tears.

"No. No - please no!" Piper shouted, watching as Andy stood up straight, he turned to both sisters and told them softly - "I'm so sorry." Andy walked over and took Prue into his arms, she was no longer crying as her eyes were fixed on her sisters corpse. "Heal her, bring her back!" Piper shrieked, Leo turned his head away sheepishly. "Leo?" Piper questioned, pulling away from Prue. "Heal her now!" Piper ordered, letting her anger take over she stood to her feet.

"I'm sorry Piper - I can't heal the dead!" Leo told her remorsefully, Piper stared at him furiously. "Heal her or get out!" Piper replied, spitting through her teeth fiercely. Leo turned to her and shook his head, raising his hand he placed it on her cheek caressing her face comfortingly. A tear rolled down their cheeks simultaneously before Leo disappeared in a flurry of bright lights, Piper dropped her head defeated. Walking over to Phoebe's still, cold and lifeless body she pulled it up against her chest and embraced it before kissing her forehead and then laying it back on the ground.

"Have you got your handcuffs Andy?" Prue asked with little or no emotion in her voice, Piper looked over attentively as Prue left her lovers arms. "They're in the car I think, why do you ask?" Andy replied not sure where this was all going. "Get them, we're going to need them!" Prue told him as they both rose to their feet, Andy hesitantly nodded before leaving through the stained glass doors of the prestigious Halliwell Manor.

[*Sammi!*]

Chapter Two
Revenge Is Sweet

Hand cuffed to a dining chair, Rodriguez struggling as Prue stood in front of him staring deeply into his dark brown eyes. Andy walked out from the parlour followed by Piper who was still an emotional wreck, Prue however now had full control of what she was doing. "Prue?" Andy chimed in, placing his hand on Prue's shoulder. Not flinching Prue continued to stare at the warlock responsible for her sisters demise. "What are we going to do with him Prue?" Piper asked, whipping a tear that was rolling down her puffy red cheeks.

"Just get the Book!" Prue ordered, Rodriguez smiled sinisterly. "You can't hurt me witch, especially now your precious sister is dead." Rodriguez laughed, Prue angrily sent a lamp flying across the room, crashing against his head he growled in pain yet continued to grin. "That the best you got?" Rodriguez adding, allowing a smirk to form across his face - Prue just turned and Piper joined her side, Book in hand. "No it isn't!" Prue spat furiously, Piper handed her sisters the famous Book of Shadows with it's beautifully crafted cover and interior.

Turning the pages she found the page she was looking for folding it down with her palm. Piper observed the page over Prue's shoulder, it was the spell to accelerate time; Piper looked to Rodriguez and then back at her sister. "Prue you can't do this, there is no way to get Phoebe back if you do this." Piper whimpered, looking over her shoulder to the her sister, who is lying cold in the parlour. "It's what she would of wanted!" Prue replied emotionless.

[Cheese Doodle =]]

wow
thats really good [shadow=red,left,300][/shadow]

(:
keep it up

[Astral Echo]

Piper looks over at Andy, who is standing in the archway between the Living Area and the Foyer looking just as confused as the middle sister. "Prue - you can't do this. You'll never be able to get Phoebe back!" Andy explained walking over, Piper smiled weakly at him as she attempts to take the Book out of Prue's hand. Clutching the Book tightly, Prue looks down at Rodriguez who is continuing to smirk smugly. "Forget him Prue, you deal with him later - I'm not going to pretend to know what is really going on but I do know that spell will destroy the time loop." Andy takes one of her hands, she pulls away.

"I'll do this alone then." Prue spoke with barely any emotion, a small tear rolled down her face as the realization of what she was about to do hit her. "I have to do this, if I don't then time will be reset and he could kill all three of us this time! That's not what Phoebe would want." Prue cried, looking down at the page then back up at Rodriguez. Piper placed her hand over her mouth and looked away from her sister, Andy placed a hand on her shoulder comfortingly. "Please Prue - she's our baby sister." Piper muttered as continued to fight back the tears.

"I know - we'll find a way. But me must do this to stop Tempest, to stop him." Prue spat, running her finger along the ink written words on the page, she took one last glance over at her motionless sisters before starting to recite the spell. "Winds of time, gather around. Give me wings to speed my way." Prue read as she repeatedly darted looks at a slightly nervous Rodriguez. "What are you doing?" He asked angrily, shaking violently on his chair. Andy turned away, pulling a distressed Piper into his chest, stroking her head comfortingly he closed his eyes.

"Rush me on my journey forward." Prue continued, her eyes filled up as she watched as the clocked slowly started to move forward. "Let tomorrow -" Prue recited, choking her words she started to break down. "- be today." Prue dropped the Book on to the floor and fell to knees as she watched as a whole day passed by her eyes. Shaking her head in dismay she shivered and clasped her hands around her face. "You stupid little witch!" Rodriguez shouted furiously, he couldn't help but laugh however - he had successfully destroyed the Charmed Ones, something no demon or warlock before him had been able to do.

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

I like this new update. Look forward on reading more. ;D

[Astral Echo]

Thanks for the comment Melissa, glad you enjoyed it and here is the final part of Chapter two.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prue stopped crying as heard Rodriguez's chilling laugh, the vibratations of his voice ran down her spin, she left like she was standing on pins and needles as looked up into his eyes. Looking deeply into his dark brown, his pupils dimmed and his eyes filled a bright blood red. Gulping Prue rose to her feet, the handcuffs which held the warlock to the chair just fell off. "Not so confident now, are you?" Rodriguez bellowed as he towered over her, Piper turned around and froze him in place.

Backing away slowly, Prue fixed her eyes on the frozen warlock standing in front her. Piper melted away from a frozen Andy and joined her sister, clutching to her hands tightly. "It'll all be over soon - I promise!" Prue spoke with raspy voice, hugging her sister she comfortingly ran along Piper's silky hair. Breaking away from one anothers embrace they shared a small smile as Prue whipped away Piper's tears. "We will get through this." Prue told her, clutching her fists she turned angrily and Rodriguez outstreched her arm and sent her baby sisters killer through the air as she shouted "You bastard!"

Piper backed away, she had never seen this side of her eldest sister before, sure she'd had been angry but it was like she had turned into a completely different person. Flying through the doors of the Manor and onto the hard stone ground lying outside, Rodriguez furiously returned an attack of his own. A sizzling energy ball flew across the room towards Prue, she simply raised her arm and sent the offense back along it's path. Hitting the warlock square in the chest, his body glowed and shivered as he screamed out in pain and then - he was gone.

"Prue?" Piper questioned as her older sister stood still in the centre of the room. "No one hurts my family and gets away with it!" Prue spat before turning on her heels and walking past her partner and sister and into the parlour to her dead sisters side. Piper looked up at Andy nervously, he shifted his eyes as not to look into hers before moving over to the damaged Manor doors and closing them shut.

[Prue's Empath]

WOAH! Phoebe dies! Didn't see that coming! I just read this whole story from 1st word to last and I love it! Please continue soon!

[~*Alicia*~]

Great story! Hope you update soon! Can't wait to see what happens!

[Astral Echo]

Thanks to everyone who has commented so far and I hope you've all enjoyed the ride. Chapter Three is also a bit copycat as I take parts from "Witch Trail" and "Charmed Again" - but I hope you still enjoy it. Please as always, share your thoughts - and be honest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter Three

An eerie silence ran through the cold walls of the Halliwell Manor, you could almost hear a pin drop or the tap drip as the everlasting quiet cast a shadow over the infamous Manor. The destruction from the battle that took place only a week before had since been cleaned up, the shattered glass was gone, the front doors had been fixed and broken wall had been repaired. The place looked spotlessly clean.

Moving up wards we hear chanting coming from the prolific attic above, a female voice could be heard reciting as the wind blew through the second floor of the house. "Hear now the words of the witches, the secrets we hid in the night. The oldest of Gods are invoked here, the great magic is sought."

As we move closer we notice Prudence Halliwell knelt down by the alter in front of her, the Book of Shadows placed in front of her with a candle stood inches away from that among herb jars, chalices and other ritualistic items. The candle flickered as she continued to recite "In this night and in this battle, I call upon the ancient power."

Looking up at the candle she closed her eyes and continued the spell. "Bring back my sister. Bring back the Power of Three." She keeps her eyes closed for a prayerful beat, then she opens them, looks at the candle, but sees nothing. Blindly determined, she starts flipping through pages until she finds another spell, To Call a Lost Witch. She expertly finds and mixes certain ingredients into a silver bowl as she chants from the book.

"Power of the witches' rise. Course unseen across the skies. Come to us, we call you near. Come to us and settle here."

Then, she finds an athame and slices the left finger of her left hand so that blood can symbolically spill directly from her heart and into the bowl. "Blood to blood, I summon thee. Blood to blood, return to me." A faint gust of wind flickers the candle, but not much else. She buries her face in her hands in defeat.

Without making a sound, Piper Halliwell has made her way up the stairs from her bed and up to the attic, she pulls her black silk robe tight before starting to approach her older sister. "Prue?" Piper called as made her way over to her siblings side, Prue looked up hopefully but is disappointed as it's only Piper walking over to her and not her baby sister. "It's two in the morning, you should be in bed. Phoebe would never forgive us if we looked bad at her funeral!" Piper joked, Prue didn't find this funny as she looks away and out the stained glass windows. Piper takes Prue's hand looking at the small cut on her index finger - "Your bleeding." Piper states taking a damp cloth and squeezing it on the bloody finger. Prue continues to look out of the window with her tear stained cheeks not even listening to what her sister is saying.

"I'm sorry." Prue muttered, Piper looked up confused. "What have you got to be sorry for?" Piper asked, whipping away the bloody from Prue's wound. "I said I'd fix this, I promised you that I'd bring her back an..and I can't." Prue rambled angrily, slowly looking from the window to her caring younger sister. "Magic can't fix this, not this time. But that isn't your fault." Piper told her, caressing Prue's wavy dark brown hair.

"Isn't it? There's other magic, magic that we've used before." Prue cried flipping through the pages of Book while fighting back the tears. She violently closes the Book of Shadows and stands up. "It's like the book just deserted us and deserted Phoebe, and I don't understand why."

Piper takes Prue's other hand, holds them both and shares her pain. "We lost our sister. How can we ever understand that?" Piper pauses "We've tried every magical way to bring her back… but we can't. She's gone." Piper looks down at the Book as a small tear rolls down her cheek, Prue lets her hands slip away from Piper's and walks away to wards the window. "And it's certainly not your fault Prue - as you said...it's what she would of wanted. We need to keep fighting." Piper told her while busily cleaning up various ingredients that had been scattered across the alter table.

"Fighting? Look where this year has taken us Piper and after everything we've done - we had to pay the ultimate price. If were supposed to be so powerful, how come we couldn’t save her? I mean, my god, don’t you understand? Phoebe died because of me, it doesn’t matter what you say, it was my fault. How could it be good to be witches if all it does is get the people we love killed?"
