 Magic Hunter 3 Lost

 Disclaimer : I do not own the Charmed charecters that you know, all others are mine. Read and enjoy.


The utter dispair they had heard in their sisters voice, cried out in grief, rooted them to the spot. Piper and Pheobe knew where she had gone, and fearing the worst, had waited for her to return. Now, not quite sure 'what' had happened, they rushed to her crumpled form.

Holding their sister, hoping it was not true, they sat, waiting for her to wake up, calling her name. She had lost one loved one to demons already, how could she cope with another.

"Leo? Can you please take her back to the truck, we will deal with 'that' and then join you." Piper asked her husband, looking at the Hellcat, still pinned to the tree.

Gathering her gently in his arms, Leo orbred Prue away. Appearing back by the dam, he looked down at the silent women then looked skyward and asked "Why? Don't let this happen again, please" as tears fell down his face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As his heart moniter went off, Morgan felt himself leave his body. The last thing he saw before he was pulled away, was Prue, standing in the corner, anquish and shock mixed together on her face, before she vanished in a soft red glow.

"I'm sorry, love," he whispered, his soul dissapearing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Approaching the truck, the youngest two Charmed one's were not prepared for the sight of the oldest one. She sat there, staring at nothing, not moving, barely breathing.

"She's in shock." Leo told them.

"It's more then that," Pheobe said, looking into her sisters eye's. "Look at her eye's. There empty, blank, she's gone."

"Gone? What do you mean gone!" Piper asked, her voice rising in fear.

"She's catonic, withdrawn from reality."

"For how long? Why."

"Maybe for ever." Pheobe said quietly, "she might never return."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the dark receses of her subconcious, in the form of a little girl, hugging herself tightly, Pru sat, rocking abck and forth, as one thought raced over and over through her mind.

'No more, no more'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Part 1

Piper stood there, looking into Prue's empty eye's, 'This could not be happening' she thought. Not to Prue, she was the strong, confident, one. Demons and worlocks could not sway her strength, dieing had not stopped her. What had she seen when she went to the hospital, was Morgan really dead?

Pheobe felt afraid. Afraid for her sister and afraid for herself. Her sister, who was almost like a mother, the only one she had know, was trapped, trapped in sorrow. They had only found each other a few years ago, she could not lose her now, not like this.

Leo did not know what to do. If Prue had been injured, he could have healed her, but this type of injury was beyond him. Why had the Elders warned him sooner? He HAD to do something, or they might lose more then one sister. Without Prue, the Power of Three was to vulnerable. He needed to get some help.

"Piper." he said softly, giving them each a hug, "I will be right back." and with out another word, he orbed out in a shower of soft blue light.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He was sitting in a chair in the livingroom, waiting to hear from Pheobe, when Leo suddenly appeared before him, an anquished expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Cole asked, almost afraid to ask.

"The girls need you. Can you shimmer to them?"

"Yes, but whats wrong? Is pheobe ok?"

"She and Piper are fine, but there is something wrong with Prue." quickly, he related the problem, not leaving anything out. "Keep an eye on them till I get back." and out he orbed.

Cole was stunned. While never the best of friend, hell they were barely civil, he would not wish that type of pain on her. Grabbing the blanket off the back of the couch, he concentrated on Pheobe and vanished.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The little girl had stopped her rocking, and looking around, found herself in the middleof a play ground. Feeling happy, she ran to the swings and started pumping her legs. Higher and higher the swing climbed, her dark hair flowing around her. The little girl forgot all her problems as she immeresed herself in the moment.

On the edge of the play ground, hidden in the shadows a silent figure watched the joyful scene. 'This is not right. What has happened? Why is she like this?' the figure thought, trying to make sence of it all

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Cole, What are you doing here?" Pheobe said when he appeared, falling greatfully into his strong arms.

"Leo told me what happened. Any change?"

"No, not yet," she replied, glancing at Prue.

"Let's get you three back to town. I'll drive." he said. The girls managed to get Prue into the back seat of the king cab truck, climbing in on either side of her and wrapping the blanket around themselves.

Driving down the dry, bumpy logging road, a light rain started to fall, darkening the already dreery day. As the fine gray mist fell, the dust cleared out of the late fall air, leaving a crisp fresh scent.

Breathing in the fresh air, Cole looked at the three seated behind him. Pheobe and Piper had their arms around Prue, talking softly to her, trying to get any type of response, but with no luck. She had withdrawn so completly, even the voices of her beloved sisters did not seem to reach her. Cole was surprised as he felt a tear fall down his cheek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leo appeared in the halls of Whitelighter complex, needing to calm himself before he went to see the Elders. Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door to the great central chamber, where they awaited.

"Leo, we know why you are here. Unfortunatly, there is nothing we can do to bring her out of it."

"Why not?" he was almost shouting, 'they' must have known how she would react, "With out her there IS no Charmed one's. How could you let this happen!"

"Leo! Remember where you are!" the center figure said sharply, "Listen to us before you start accusing us of anything."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Approaching the girl, the figure walked slowly, trying to appear friendly. She was so happy, but she did not belong here. This was 'her' place. The place 'she' retreated to for solitude.

"Hello" she said to the little.

Glancing up, the smile dissapeared from her face. "GO AWAY" she shouted "THIS IS YOUR FAULT." jumping off the swing, she ran.

"Wait, what is wrong? What happened? Why are you here?" she said runing after her. She finally caught up to her at the jungle gym, holding her as she cried.

"What is my fault, little one?"

"Everthing." she sobbed. "Everyone leaves me and it's your fault."

"How is it my fault? Who has left you to make you feel this way?"

"Daddy, mommy, grams, Andy and now Morgan."

"Listen to me little one, none of that had anything to do with us! It was just there time to go, and daddy did come back. Is that why you came here?"

"Yes, noone can hurt me here. I won't lose anyone if I am here."

"Has everyone left you? What about Piper, Pheobe, Leo and even Cole."

"Not yet, but they will. Now leave me alone!" and she pushed away from her older self, headed for the slide.

'Oh little one, your so scared to feel anything, how will I make you understand' astral Prue thought, tring to remeber what she had seen last. She knew that somehow it was important.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They had been driving for two hours and still their sister had not made any sounds. Piper had fallen into a restless sleep, her body twitching slightly as her mind filled with possability's of Prue being like this forever.

Opening her eye's, she looked at the two beside her. "Anything?" she asked the youngest.

"No, she barely even blinks. What are we going to do." Pheobe replied, looking at the dark head resting on her shoulder.

"Maybe Leo found something to help. He has been gone for a long time."

"Remember, time move's a little different 'up' there. I just want to get her back, I need my big sister, both of them."

"Me too."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'I'm not going to find anything out like this', astral Prue thought. 'I hope this works.' Consentrating on her sisters, she willed the power to work, she needed help.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What the.." Cole said, almost drove off the highway as the soft red glow of astral Prue appeared in the front seat with him. Spotting a rest area, he quickly pulled in as the sister sat there staring at her.

"How? What?" they said at the same time

"That's what I was going to ask you." astral Prue said. "I don't know how long I can do this, so let's be quick. My concious had shown up as a little girl in my subconcious, and she won't talk to me."

Talking rapidly, they filled her in on what they knew, and what they think happened. Seeing the tears in her eye's, they both hugged her close.

"Figure's," astral Prue said, "I finaly start to let go, and something like this happens. I will try to get through to her"she told them, feeling a tug on her form, "I will be back when I can." and she dissapeared.

"At least we know she's fighting this." Piper said, smiling a little for the first time in hours.

"Lets just hope she can win. This will be a very hard fight for her."

"Yes," Cole said, thinking about just how stubborn the oldest Halliwell could be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trying to absorb all that the Elders had told him, Leo Orbed into the hospital. Looking down at the sleeping figure before him, he walked over to the side of the bed.

Placing his hand on their forehead, he whispeared softly, "We need your help."

Part 2

It had been one of the longest rides the youngest Halliwell's could remember. The four hour drive back had brought no change with their sister's condition. Her blue eye's looked forward vacantly, not registering anything. It was traring them up, not being able to do anything for her.

Going into the hotel room, Piper guided Prue over to one of the bed's, getting her to lay down, and pulling a blanket up to cover her. Turning to look at Pheobe, she broke down crying into her baby sisters arms.

Taken by surprise, Pheobe held her and cried with her, supporting each other. Cole stood back for a moment before he took them both into his embrace, whispering soothing words to them both.

"Is there anything I can do?" he asked

"Yes, go to the hospital and see what happened," Pheobe told him. "We need to stay with her, and I don't know if I could deal with it right now."

"I will be back as soon as I can." he said heading for the door.

"See how Bria is too." Piper said, looking up.

Closing the door behind him, Cole leaned back agianst the wall, letting everthing that had happened sink in. He hoped it was wrong, that Morgan was not really gone, for Prue's sake if nothing else.

Walking acrossed the street, he entered the hospital, asking the reseptionist for Bria's room number. As he waited for the elevator, he tried to think of what to say to her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When his spirit had been pulled from his body, Morgan had found himself drawn down a long tunnel of glittering colors, there beauty was awe inspiring and he did not want the tunnel to end. When he finally stopped moving, he found himself faced by three people he had only seen in pictures.

"Why are you here?" Penny asked him. "It is not your time yet."

"You are still needed, your destiny has not yet been fulfilled." Patty said in her soft voice.

"I don't know how I got here. I don't remember what happened." he replied.

"You were poisoned by the demons who attacked you and your sister. It caused your heart to stop, but your body still lives. You 'must' go back before it is to late." Andy said to him.

"She still loves you, you know?" Morgan told him.

"Yes, but you are her future, and she needs you more now then ever before." there was a touch of sadness and fear in his voice that caught Morgan's attention.

"What's wrong?"

"She has completly shut down, thinking that you died." Penny said. "You are the only one who can reach her now."

"How do I get back?"

"Listen for your guide, you will find the way." and she and Patty dissapeared.

Looking at Andy, he said, "I do love her."

"I know, and I too will always love her. Keep her safe, she is very stubborn and does not except help easily."

"I have noticed." he said and they both chuckled softly.

"Be prepared, she may try to shut you out, so she does not get hurt agian, fight for her, no matter what."

"I will."

Andy vanished as well, leaving him alone in a small garden. 'I guess I wait now'. Then he thought he could hear someone calling his name. Thou faint he recognized Leo's voice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Do you think you can do it?" Leo asked, the strain of talking mentally to quiet figure was taking it's toll on him. To make it even harder, even thou the body still breathed, Morgan's spirit was no longer conected to it.

"I will try" came the very faint reply.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Walking quitly into her room, Cole found she was awake. "How are you?" he asked

"I'm doing better, but Morgan," she stopped, not able to go on.

"He's gone isn't he?" it was more a statement then a question.

"His body is still alive, but they told me he is brain dead, that there is no hope."

"What happens next?"

"The doctors want me to sign some papers saying it is ok to turn off the respirater, but I wanted to let Prue say good-bye first."

"About that," he said, not really sure how to continue.

"Did something happen when the faced the demons?" concerned for the three women who were almost like sisters to her.

"Not from the demons. Prue projected into his room a few hours ago and saw 'something' that caused her mind to snap. She has not said a word or responded sence the."

"It must have been when he arrested."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deep within her mind, astral Prue was tring to find her youngerself. If she could just get her to listen, maybe she could convince her it would be okay. Knowing it was a long shot, she still had to try, but every time she got close, the little girl would dissapear again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slowly, oh so slowly, Morgan was able to follow Leo's voice back down the glittering tunel. The forse that had pulled him here was trying to keep him, and it was taking all his streanght to fight his way out.

After what seemed like an eternity, he felt himself start to fall, seeing the walls of the hospital room appering around him. He materialized at the foot of the bed where his body lay, Leo standing beside him.

Not knowing what else to do, he reached out a hand and placed it on his own head. Darkness surrounder him in an instant as his body and spirit rejoined, and he could once again feel the coolness of the sheets and the pain of his injury's. Then he knew no more, as the events of the last final battle overcame him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It worked." Leo said, breathing a sigh of relief. suddenly sitting in the chair beside the bed, exhuasted from using so much energy to work the needed magic. He would never have been able to do it alone, only the Elders magic, working through him had allowed it.

Closing his eye's, he surcomed to sleep, his last though that now if they could just reach Prue.

Part 3

After talking with Bria, Cole headed back to the hotel with out going to see Morgan, he was not ready to face something like that. He had never realy thought about the consequence of the battle's they had fought before. Death and dying were parts he could deal with, not this type of living death.

Opening the door to the room, a faint smile played acrossed his face. The sisters were all on one bed sleeping, Prue in the middle. Walking closer, the smile vanished when he noticed that her eye's were still open, staring straight ahead into nothing.

'I wish I knew how to help you' he thought to himself, sitting down in one of the chairs, he waited for them to wake up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Waking up, Morgans mind tried to prosses what had happend. He knew he had died, but had he really talked to Prue's mother and grams, not to mention Andy? Was it just a very vivid dream? Looking around, he saw Leo was sleeping where he had been before.

As he was trying to get his parched throat to make 'some kind of noise, a nurse walked in, and seeing the 'brain dead' patient trying to talk, she fled from the room. 'Glad your awake. How are you, would have been nice' he thought after her fleeing form.

"Morgan?" Leo's voice drew his sight to the foot of the bed. "Are you ready to help us save Prue?"

Not yet able to make any noise, he shook his head yes.

"I will be back shortly. Just rest and take it easy." and with that, he orbed out, heading for the hotel room, where his wife and 'sisters' awaited.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Appearing in the room, Leo was touched to see the consern on Cole's face as he watched the sisters sleep.

"You really do care about all of them don't you?" he asked the starteled demon.

"Yes, but I don't think Prue will ever believe it."

"Someday she might, she is just not to forgiving of people who try to kill her sisters."

This brought a chuckle from Cole. Looking at Leo, he noticed he did not seem to be serious as he would be if he had brought bad news.

"What did you find out from 'them'"Cole asked, pointing at the ceiling.

"Let's wake the girl's, their going to want to hear this too."

With the sisters awake, and somewhat alert they all sat around the small table in the room, Pheobe in Cole's lap, Leo didn't know quite where to start.

"Okay," he said, taking a breath, "The Elders granted me a special power, I was able to bring Morgan back. He was not phisicaly dead, so that made it a little easier, however, I will not be able to help Prue. We can not reach her in her mind. We can only hope that if she see's him she will return."

Sitting there in stunned silence, the other three just looked at him. It was almost comical Leo thought, as they each tried to say something, but no sounds came out.

"But..But..I thought.." Piper tried to say.

"No I still can't heal the dead. It was a one time thing." Leo explained to her un asked question.

"How?" Pheobe managed to get out.

"The Elders 'Boss' told them to let me do it, for all that you have done for the sake of good."

"Now what?" though he had a good idea of what needed to happen, Cole still asked.

"We wait untill later, and take Prue over there."

"Why later?"

"Because, one he was brain dead so the doctors are going to be all over him. Two, we don't want them to see Prue's 'condition'" was Leo's reply.

Seeing his logic, the two youngest Halliwell's had to agree. If the doctors spotted Prue in her catonic state, they would admit her to a mental ward and they would never be able to reach her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morgan had never felt so tired before in his life. He had been poked and proded by so many doctors, amazed at his recovery, he silently vowed he would 'never' step foot in another hospital agian. They had finally left after he threatened to sue the next one who touched him.

He was laying back, enjoying the reletive quiet, when he heard a knock at the door.

"If your a doctor, GO AWAY! if not come in." he said looking up, it was Bria, looking slightly quilty.

"I snuck out," she said, closing the door behind her. "I had to come see you for myself." Stopping beside the bed, they two held each other and cried, thankful they were both alive.

"Did they tell you what happened?" she asked when they each sat back, "With Prue.?"

"Yes, I know. Hopfully, when they get here later, we can snap her out of it. I don't want to lose her. I have loved her from the first time I saw her, tied up in the back of that van."

"Wow, I didn't realize how bad you had it big brother. Do you think she feels the same way?"

"I KNOW she does, I just have to get her to admit it to herself and to me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the hotel room, Pheobe had managed to get her oldest sister change her muddy cloth's, with a lot of help from her other sister. Now, they waited for Leo to give them an all clear to enter the hospital. Holding onto one of Prue's arms each, the sisters headed acrossed the street.

Piper had to freeze several people on the way to Morgan's room, giving Leo dirty looks for not warning her sooner that they were there. Looking only slightly guilty, he pushed open the door to the room, finding only the Long's in there.

"Morgan!" Piper and Pheobe both said, rushibg forward and huggig the Tracker. "We are very glad to have you back!" Pheobe added

"Glad to be back." he whispered, his eye's never leaving the silent figure still standing by the door.

Taking her by the arm, Pheobe led Prue over to the man who's heart she held. Standing there, her face never changed, she just looked straight ahead over them all.

"Prue?" Morgan said, taking her hand. "Prue, can you hear me? I love you and I need you to come back to us, To me!" Getting no responce, he spent the next 10 minutes, trying over and over to reach her.

"It's not working." he said to the others, as a tear rolled silently down his face. "What are we going to do?"

Looking around the room, Leo suddenly had an idea. "I will be back, I need to consult the elders."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Orbing into the Elders chamber, he looked at the robed figures, trying to word his question.

"Leo, We know what your question is, We had the same thought. Make sure you explaine all the risk's before they do it, or you could lose more then the Oldest."

"Thank you. I was not sure you would approve."

"If this save's The Power Of Three, we have agreed to look the other way. Now go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Leo, your back already?" Piper asked in amazement.

"Yes. There may yet be a way to reach her." he told them, looking around the room. "Pheobe, can you summon Cole."

"Cole? What does he have to do with it?" Morgan asked, tring to figure out what Leo was thinking.

"Just call him Pheobe, He is her last chance."

Trying to take in Leo's little bombshell, She thought about her love for Cole, calling out to him.

"What's wrong?" He asked her, shimmering in.

"Ask Leo, he told me to call you."

Raising a questioning eyebrow, he looked at the Whitelighter who had just asked for a demon's help.

"Are you going to get in trouble for this?" Cole asked him.

"No. The Elders approved it. I need to ask you to do something. It just might work, however, it could destroy you as well."

"If I can help, I will."

"You don't have to." Leo told him.

"I want to help, if I can."

"We want you to shimmer into her mind."

"WHAT!" five voice exclaimed at once.

Part 4

"Did you just say you want me to shimmer into her mind!?" An astounded Cole asked Leo.

"Hear me out. There is a way for you to actually shimmer your mind instead of your body. It is not something to be done lightly, or even by a sane person, soory, but it can be done. When you shimmer, consentrate on just sending your conciousness. I won't lie to you, you might not be able to get out agian."

Cole just sat there, trying to make some sence of it all. Thinking about it, he knew he had to try, for Pheobe if nothing else. Looking at the woman he loved, he made up his mind.

"I'll do it." he said softly, his eye's never leaving Pheobe's. "What do I have to do?"

"It is a bit like what the Dream Sorcerer did when he entered her mind. First we have to get you into a very deep REM sleep, and then you shimmer."

"What do I do when I get there?"

"Convince her to come back."

'Easier said then done' Cole thought to himself, looking at the unresponsive Prue. "Should we do it here or at the hotel?"

"Here might be better, just in case." Leo answered, suddenly unsure about it.

"I'm going with you." Morgan said, having listened to everything. "I know you can shimmer a body with you, so this trip, your taking my mind!" the tone of his voice said they would not beable to talk him out of it.

"But what if.." Piper started to say

"No but's, I love her and I'm going!" Looking at Cole, Morgan's pleaded silently for him to agree. Seeing him waivering and added, "If it was Pheobe, what would you do?"

"I will take you," Cole told him, "If our positions were reversed, I would feel the same."

"You will need to be touching them both," Leo, said, brining Prue over and sitting her in a chair. "We will keep an eye on you, and if I sence anything going wrong, we will try to wake you, that should bring you out."

Giving Pheobe a sweet, yet passionet kiss, he looked deep into her soft brown eye's, vowing to himself that he would not awaken untill he had reached her lost sister. He would not beable to face the sorrow he saw reflcted there if he failed.

"Let's do this, befor I change my mind," he said turning to Leo.

"Take their hand's, and I will induce sleep for all three of you." Leo told him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He knew he was asleep, yet at the same time he was aware of his surroundings. Morgan was there with him as they both looked at a silent figure standing in front of them, her head hanging down tto her chest.

"Prue?" Morgan tried, but there was no responce. "I guess we are not in her mind, are you ready?" he asked, turning to Cole.

"I hope so. I need to be touching you to shimmer, give me your hand." Reaching out, the two men joined hands as Cole consentrated, casting out his thoughts, looking for that small spark that was still Prue.

Opening their eye's, they found themselves surrounded by blackness, no light, no sound except there own breathing. Reaching out, Morgans hand found only empty air.

"So where are we?" he asked, hoping Cole would have an idea of what was going on.

"Right where we wanted to go, as far as I can tell. Try calling out to her."

Both men turned, and started calling, not knowing what to expect, they were surprised when a bright red glow appeared and astral Prue was in front of them.

"How did you get here?" she asked, surprised to find what she thought to be figments of her imagination standing there, one, the man she loved, and the other, a demon.

"We shimmered in." Morgan told her, matter of factly, "can you get us out of here?"

"It's my mind, I can do almost anything I want," she told them and suddenly they found themselves standing in the middle of a playground. "So why did I congure you two up, like I don't have enough problems right now."

"You didn't, we really did shimmer in, at least our thoughts did." Cole said, begining to get a little nervous. "We tried to reach you by talking, but it didn't work."

Looking at Morgan, as it dawned on her that he must be real, Prue ran to him and threw her arms around his neck. Holding the man she thought was dead, she couldn't have been happier. Now, if she could just reach the younger version of herself that was in control of her contiousness, maybe she could hold him for real.

"We need to find the child," she said stepping back a little. "She dosen't want to go back."

"What child?" Cole said

"The younger version of me that shut everything down. We have to convince her to let go."

Walking in seperate directions, the three soon lost sight of each other. Cole was the first to spot her, sitting on a bench, looking out over a field of flowers. Approaching little Prue, he tried to project a friendly face. He soon relised it had not worked when he found himself flung back by an out streached arm.

"Why did you do that?" he asked, picking himself up.

"Your a demon." she told him. "You don't belong here."

"Maybe not, but I am here to help you. Can we at least talk?"

"Never trust a demon, my Grams told me that."

"I meet her you know. When your sister Piper married Leo." He walked slowly forward, hoping she would not throw him agian. "Mind if I sit here with you?"

"What if I said no?" she asked with all the tact only a child would have. "Will you go away?"

"No, because your sisters asked me to help you."

"There better off with out me." she said, looking back out over the field.

"Why do you think that?"

"Everyone I love dies, if I'm not there they wont get hurt."

"But their hurting without you." he told her.

"NO! They don't need me, they have you and Leo. I don't have anyone."

"What about Morgan?"

"He left me too. Just like Andy and Mom. The demon's got them all."

"Morgan is still alive, and he is here right now like I am, looking for you."

"Your lying, I knew you would, just like you lied to use before!" she said, using her powers on him agian.

Landing 20 feet away, Cole looked at her as she started to cry. 'That went well' he thought. "I am not luing to you. Please just listen to me. I know how you feel. The only person I ever loved before your sister was killed by a demon too."

"Who was that?"

"My father. He was killed by the demon who gave birth to me."

"Your mom killed your dad?"

"Yes, and untill I meet your sister, I didn't think I would be able to love agian. Thats what made me so good at what I did. You have to let love into your heart, or you lose anyways."

"But it just brings pain." She said, turning a tear streaked face to him.

Pulling the little girl close, he held her as she cried, stroking her hair to calm her. "Please, Prue, come with me. Together, we can beat anything. All of us."

"Can I see Morgan?" she asked him shyly.

"Why don't we look for him together." standing up, the two former enemy's found a common meeting ground. Niether one wanted to lose a loved one, and they would both do anything to prevent that from ever happening agian.

"Would you look at that." Morgan said to astral Prue as they arrived back at the playground. There was Cole, pushing the young girl on the swings, Enjoying themselves.

"I never thought I would see the day when I would be so relaxed with him."

"Niether did I." Morgan said, smiling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back in the hospital room, four sets of eye's keeped a nervous watch over the still forms. It had been two hours already sence Leo had put them all into a deep sleep and they had not stirred at all.

"Do you think it will work?" Bria asked, loojking at her brother's still face.

"It all depends on them. If they can reach her, they have a chance of 'waking' her up." Leo replied, checking each of them agian.

"I'm getting worried, it's taking a long time." Pheobe said from beside Cole.

"You know how stubborn Prue is." Piper said from the other side of the bed. brushing the hair back from Prue's face she whispered to her big sister, "Please come back to us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Prue?" Morgan said to the little girl, "I need you to come with us?"

Jumping off the swing, the little girl ran into the Trackers arms, hugging him tightly.

"Are you really alive?" she asked, her face buried in his chest.

"Yes, and I want you to come back to me. You don't belong in here, to many people love you and need you out 'there'", He told her.

"But I don't know how to get back."

"Just listen to the voice's calling you, and follow them out." he told her, not know how he knew this, but knowing it was the way.

"We have to go now," Cole said, feeling his body starting to wake up. "Just remember what we told you, and listen for us, we want you back." Taking Morgans hand once agian.

Just as the two dissapeared, Morgan looked at both Prue's and said, "Don't forget, I love you."

"I'm scared," little Prue said to her astral form.

"So am I, but I think, with all of there help, we will be okay."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the two men started to stir, it drew the attention of the four in the room.

"That is Not something I ever want to do agian." Cole said, looking at Morgan. "I feel like she threw me for real."

"Did it work though?" Morgan said, reaching out to the woman he loved. "Prue?" he said half afriad she would not hear him. "Prue, follow our voices."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deep within her mind, the little girl heard a faint whisper, calling her name.

"It's time for you to go." astral Prue told her. "You are never alone because they all love you. Follow them out."

"Will you be okay?"

"I am you, if you are alright, I will be too."

taking one last look around, the little lost girl let go of her fears, going back to the one's she loved.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was one of the sweetest sounds any of them had heard as Prue raised her head, and with tears running down her face, she looked at Morgan and said, "I love you too."
