Disclaimer: I don't own them! How many times do I have to say that? This is just something that came out of the depths of my despair of Prue-missing. Depending on the reviews I get, I will decide if I am going to continue with Phoebe's and Paige's stories. I know I am way behind on my other stories (Chosen and Charmed, Outside Looking In and The Thing of Darkness series) but I am working on them. Just had to get this out of my system. OK, I think that's it. Enjoy!

***************************************************************************************************

I knew the instant I saw Shax hurl that deadly bolt of electricity at me that my life would soon be over. We had been too lucky for too long. Always escaping death before it could get a grip on us. But this time it was for good. Now, I try to fight the icy cold hand of death as it washes over me, but nothing works. My mind screams that it is too soon. That we have more innocents to save together. That there is more for me to do before my life is ripped away from me forever. But my heart is losing the fight.. It pounds against my ribs, the blood rushing through my veins. I can feel the darkness starting to consume me, cold and foreboding. How did we get to this? Where did we go wrong?

I can sense Piper next to me, fighting for her own life. I try to look at her, to do something to comfort her, but I can't feel anything anymore. My body is numb, vulnerable to the world and the evil demons who stalk not only the night, but the day as well. I have never been that religious, but now I say a silent prayer to any higher being that will listen. I ask them to save my sisters. I know that where ever she is, Phoebe is also in danger. I try to take a deep breath, but my lungs refuse to accept all of the air I try to give them.

Even though I know I am not ready to leave my family, my friends, my life behind, I also know that this is my destiny. I was never meant to grow old or to get married or have kids. I was never even meant to have the future that we saw when we went to save Phoebe's future self from being executed. No, I am destined to die now. As much as it may hurt me to leave my sisters behind.

My sisters.....I know how hard it will be on them. How can I put them through that? I desperately try once more to fight off death, but to no avail. As I live out my last moments, memories flood my decaying mind. Fighting with Piper when we were just little girls, visiting Mom in the hospital after Phoebe was born, Mom's death, my rebellious phase, meeting with Andy in our special place during high school, my engagement to Roger, losing Grams, Phoebe coming back from New York, the three of us getting our powers and fighting evil, Andy dying while trying to protect me...Andy....I realize that I will soon be with him again. Not to mention Mom and Grams. It is finally time for me to let go. I hear the sound of Leo orbing into the room. I can faintly hear him say something and Phoebe yell my name. But I have already made my decision. I will embrace my destiny, just as I always knew I had to. And so I leave this world with one final prayer, one final wish. That my sacrifice will allow my sisters to live. I feel my soul begin to leave my body. It is my time to say goodbye.
