Okay, I know I can hardly keep up with my other stories but I've been waiting forever to do this idea. It's set after All Hell Breaks Loose. It doesn't completely fit in with all the things that happened in it but it mostly does.

Leo orbed into the manor to find Piper and Prue lying on the ground. Both were bleeding badly. He immediately ran over and started to heal the both of them. Piper slowly opened her eyes.
"Leo?" Piper asked.
Leo turned to Prue and still tried to heal her.
"No" Leo said. "No, this can't be happening"
Piper looked over.
"Leo? Leo, why is she waking up?" Piper asked panicked.
Leo didn't answer but she saw a tear fall from his eye.
"No, no, she isn't dead, Leo, say she isn't dead" Piper said starting to sob. "She isn't dead, she can't be dead"
Piper crawled over to Prue.
"Prue, wake up" Piper sobbed. "Please, Prue"

UNDERWORLD
"Master, we have news" a demon said coming into the room. "The eldest Charmed One is dead"
The demon thought we would see the Source smiling but when he looked up the Source was anything but happy.
"No!" the Source exclaimed. "This was not how it was supposed to happen!"
"But master, the power of three is gone" the demon said.
"But she was needed" the Source said. "She was part of the plan"
"What plan, master?" the demon asked.
"None of your business!" the Source exclaimed. "Get me Shax, now!"
The demon hurried off to find Shax. A few minutes later Shax appeared.
"You stupid, ugly, idiot!" the Source bellowed. "You killed the wrong sister!"
Before Shax could respond he burst into flames.
"Rowell! I have a new mission for you!" the Source yelled. "Go up to the manor and bring back the Charmed One, then implant her with this"
The source held up a black ball.
"Shall I kill the other two?" Rowell asked. "We have the youngest trapped down here and the middle one should be weakened with her grief"
"Don't do it just yet" the Source said. "In fact, when they come back for Phoebe, let them have her"
"But…"
The source cut him off.
"I have my reasons do not argue with me!" the Source yelled.
"Yes master" Rowell said.
He shimmered out.

AT THE MANOR
Piper sobbed while holding her sister's body.
"Please come back, Prue" Piper sobbed. "You have to come back"
Leo was watching in the corner, helpless, when he got a call from the Elders. Normally, we would have ignored it but if they could help bring Prue back, he would go. He told Piper where he was going but he doubted she heard him. He then orbed out. A few minutes after he had orbed out Rowell shimmered in. Piper stood up angrily.
"Get out or I'll kill you" Piper said, hate dripping from her words.
Rowell started chanting words in a language Piper didn't know. Piper heard Prue gasp for air on the floor. Piper looked down.
"Prue?" Piper asked.
Piper was so caught up in Prue being alive that she didn't notice the black ball thrown at Prue by Rowell or him shimmering out afterwards. Prue gasped for air still, even though she had been brought back she was still severely injured.
"Leo!" Piper yelled. "Leo! Hang in there Prue. Leo!"
Leo orbed into the manor.
"Heal her" Piper commanded.
Leo immediately knelt down and started to heal her. When Prue sat up Piper hugged her.
"I thought I had lost you" Piper sobbed. "You were dead, I thought you were dead"
"I was" Prue said confused. "I think"
"You were" Leo said. "Piper, did you do anything to bring her back?"
"No, I thought the Elders did it" Piper said.
Leo shook his head.
"I was in the middle of trying to convince them to bring Prue back" Leo said. "But they weren't going to do it"
Piper thought for a second.
"Wait, there was a demon here" Piper said. "He started chanting something and that's when Prue came back"
"A demon brought me back, why?" Prue asked. "If anything they'd want me dead"
Prue looked around.
"Where's Phoebe?" Prue asked.
"Phoebe made a deal with the Source to reverse time to save Piper" Leo said. "The deal was she would stay there if time was reversed"
"We have to go get her" Prue said.
"You're not going anywhere" Piper said. "You just died Prue and we have no idea why you were brought back by that demon"
"Well Phoebe could die if we don't get her out of there" Prue said. "Plus we're going to need her to vanquish Shax"
"She has Cole with her, he won't let anything happen to her" Piper said.
"Cole? This is supposed to be comforting?" Prue asked. "She went down there to save him, that's what got us in this mess"
Piper shook her head.
"I can't believe you" Piper said.
"Leo, orb us down there, I'm bringing Phoebe home" Prue said.
Leo looked at Piper who nodded. He orbed them all down to where he last saw Phoebe. Phoebe was sitting on the ground staring at the entrance. Cole was standing next to her.
"Piper" Phoebe said. "Prue. You guys are safe"
Prue nodded.
"Let's get out of here" Piper said.
"You probably can't orb out" Phoebe said. "The Source is anything but stupid"
"Well, we're not so sure about that" Piper said.
"What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked.
"We'll explain once we get out of here" Prue said. "And there's no harm in trying to orb out of here"
Leo took everyone and orbed them back to the manor.
"That was too easy" Piper said, suspicious. "All of this is very, very weird"
"So what exactly has been going on?" Phoebe asked.
"Well you explain this to the both of them, I'm going to go talk to the Elders" Leo said.
Piper nodded and quickly kissed him. He orbed out.
"Okay" Piper said. "When you guys were in the underworld, time was reversed. Everything happened like the morning when all of this started. Prue and I found Shax in the manor. Only this time when Prue called for you and Leo, you were both in the underworld. Shax formed an energy ball and threw it at the doctor. Prue then pushed the doctor out of the way and it hit her instead. She was sent through the wall. Then all I can remember is seeing the doctor get killed. The next thing I know Leo is kneeling over me healing. He immediately turned to Prue but nothing happened. She was dead"
Piper brushed a tear from her cheek.
"I lost it" Piper said looking towards Prue. "All I could do was sit there and hold you and cry. About an hour later a demon shimmered in. He started chanting something and I heard Prue gasp for air. Then when I turned back he was gone"
"Maybe it wasn't a demon" Phoebe said. "Maybe it was another magical creature, a good one"
Piper shook her head.
"He shimmered" Piper said. "And he was dressed in all black, which, as we know, signals a demon"
"Or Prue" Phoebe added.
Everyone smiled a little.
"I just don't get why he would bring back Prue" Piper said.
"Or why he didn't kill you too" Phoebe said. "It would have been the perfect chance, you were alone and grieving"
Phoebe looked to Cole.
"Do you know why he would do it?" Phoebe asked.
"No" Cole said. "I'm just as confused as you are"
Everyone was quiet for a second.
"It's almost midnight" Prue said. "We're all tired, so we're not going to be able to figure anything out. Let's all just go to bed and we'll talk about this in the morning"
Everyone nodded. Piper and Phoebe hugged Prue tightly.
"We love you" Piper said. "And promise us you won't ever do something like that again"
"You know I can't promise that" Prue said.
"Yes, you can" Phoebe said.
Prue sighed.
"Good night, guys" Prue said standing up. "Now all of you up to bed, move"
Piper and Phoebe smiled.
"Yes, Mom" Phoebe teased.
Prue smiled and shooed all of them upstairs. She sat back down on the couch to think.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
A little while later Piper sat in her room crying. Leo orbed in and hugged her.
"She just doesn't get it" Piper said. "She's always putting us first, the innocents first, well what happens when today happens again? Only she doesn't magically come back. She's so concentrated on not losing us that she doesn't realize what would happen if we lost her"
Leo held Piper closer. In Phoebe and Cole's room Phoebe was thinking the same thing, except she felt guilty.
"She's always putting us first, and we're always letting her" Phoebe said. "Then today I was so selfish just to go down there and leave those two without the power of three. Then Prue puts herself before the innocent and dies. This isn't fair; we shouldn't have come that close to losing her"
"Phoebe, maybe we should stop seeing each other" Cole said.
"What? I'm sitting here upset and you tell me you want to break up?" Phoebe asked upset. "Especially after what I did today, what I almost lost today because I down there saving you"
"That's my point Phoebe" Cole said. "I can't keep being with you when you're risking other peoples' lives to save me. I can't be responsible for you losing your sisters or anyone else's life. This time you were lucky, but next time you might not be, and next time it could be you that dies"
"I won't let you do this" Phoebe said. "If you break up with me then everything that I've done will be in vain. Cole I don't think you get that I can't live without you"
"But I can't let you…."
"Nobody will lose their lives" Phoebe said.
"You can't promise that" Cole said.
"And you can't promise that if you leave I won't die anyway" Phoebe said. "That's just it, nobody can control what's going to happen"
They both were quiet.
"Promise me you won't leave" Phoebe pleaded.
Cole came over and hugged Phoebe.

DOWNSTAIRS
Prue sat on the couch as she usually did. First one up and last one down, that was how it had always been. Truthfully, Prue was just as puzzled as her sisters why she had been brought back. Why would evil want her to stay alive when the entire time their goal had been to kill her? All she remembered was seeing the energy ball and then feeling this sharp pain that hurt like nothing she had ever felt before. The she heard voices that sounded so familiar. Prue put her head in her hands and thought for a second. Soon her head shot up as she realized who the voices had belonged to.
"I really was dead" Prue said softly.
So review and tell me what you think.
