"What do you got in there?" Piper asked with curiosity.
"Just the new VIA3000".
"Aha� and?"
"Nothing�"
"Let me see".
"No".
"Prue".
"Fine" Prue said and handed her the bag.
She looked at Piper as she took out a white box out of the bag.
"Happy now?" Prue asked as Piper looked at the contents with her mouth gaped.
One bottle of whipped cream, a pair of hand cuffs and what appeared to be eatable lingerie.
"Prue� Oh my god. I so did not need to see this" Piper said and put the things back into the box.
"You would actually�what's the right phrase...? Do this?" she asked after Prue took the bag out of her hands.
"Why not? Piper, live a little" Prue called out from upstairs.
Piper stood up and walked towards the stairs.
*** **** ***** **** ***
Prue walked downstairs, missing Piper, who just walked up the stairs to the attic.
"Hey" Phoebe said as she entered the Manor.
"Hi, how was school?" Prue asked.
"Uh, don't even get me started on that" Phoebe said and took her jeans jacket off.
"That bad?" Prue asked.
"First, I had a pop quiz, which I have to say, I did not know about!" Phoebe whined.
Prue smiled and looked at her.
Hmm� what's this? Piper wondered as she came a cross a page in The Book.
"Secret Desires" Piper read quietly, passing her finger over the page.
The thoughts that one keeps up inside,
Hopes and dreams left on beside.
Desires, as hot as flames, bursting from the fire.
Leaving no air, except for the liar.
The self denial makes the desires fatal.
While they are kept in the dark, opening portals to ravel.
From young to old, and old to young, desires run in Thermion's mind.
"Ah!!!" Phoebe screamed in pain.
Her bag fell down, slamming on the floor.
Prue closed her eyes as it left her.
She never felt freer in her life. It was unbelievable.
White shadows bursted out of their bodies, floating in mid air.
"Prue!" Phoebe yelled and collapsed down on the floor.
Prue dropped the diary on the bed, and hurried downstairs, out of her bedroom.
She ran towards Phoebe, and kneeled beside her.
"What's wrong?" she asked, putting Phoebe's head on her knees.
"I� I� I don't know" she said, shivering.
"What are you feeling?"
Phoebe couldn't answer. She kept breathing heavily, swallowing air.
"Phoebe, Honey?" Prue looked at her sister.
"Piper!" Prue yelled.
Phoebe looked at Prue, she was helpless.
Suddenly, she closed her eyes. She couldn't breath.
It was too hard.
"Phoebe?!" Prue yelled. She checked Phoebe's pulse as tears ran down her eyes.
"What's going on?" Piper asked as she hurried down the stairs.
"Phoebe! Wake up" Prue yelled, trying to wake her up.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, hardly breathing.
"Oh!"
Prue hugged Phoebe, and looked at Piper.
"Prue�" Phoebe whispered.
"What? Phoebe, talk to me" Prue said.
"I� can't� bre�reath".
"What's happening?" Prue asked and looked at Piper.
"I� I don't know" Piper said and looked at her sisters.
"We have to call a doctor" Prue said, tears stood in her eyes.
"No!" Phoebe muttered.
Both Prue and Piper looked at her.
"No� doc�" she took a deep breath and started coughing.
"No�" she whispered.
"Okay. Okay" Prue said, and caressed her face.
"Just tell me what you feel" Prue said.
"I� I can't feel my legs" Phoebe murmured.
"Piper, go get The Book. There must be something in it" Prue said and turned back to Phoebe.
She squeezed Prue's hand, letting go slowly. But Prue didn't let her.
She held her hand tightly and looked at her.
"Prue, here" Piper said and put The Book down on the floor beside Prue and Phoebe.
"What is that?" Prue asked.
"I found this".
"Secret desires?" Prue asked, looking at Phoebe.
"That explains the way you've been acting lately" Piper said.
Prue exchanged looks with Piper.
"What does it say?" she asked.
"The thoughts that one keeps up inside,
Hopes and dreams left on beside.
Desires, as hot as flames, bursting from the fire.
Leaving no air, except for the liar.
The self denial makes the desires fatal.
While they are kept in the dark, opening portals to ravel.
From young to old, and old to young, desires run in Thermion's mind." Piper read and then looked at Prue.
"Is that all?" Prue asked.
Piper nodded.
"Thermion's mind? What does that mean?"
"A demon?" Piper assumed.
"No" Phoebe said quietly. She was covered in sweat.
"Then what? Who is it Phoebes?" Piper asked.
"I�" she took a deep breath, "I read about it once. He controls des� desires. Look in The Book".
"Phoebe we have to get you to the doctor. Okay? Forget the stupid demons, we need to heal you" Prue said, "Now come on, I'll take you" she slowly rose; holding Phoebe in her arms.
"You go and I'll summon the Demon or warlock or whatever it is that's doing this" Piper said.
"No! Please, a doctor can't� help. It's� inside, I don't know" Phoebe fell down, pulling Prue down with her.
"Phoebe! Honey, it's going to be okay. I won't let anything happen to you" Prue said and looked at Piper. Her eyes were filled with concern.
***** ***** ***** ***** *****
"Here you go" Piper said, holding a glass of water.
Prue helped Phoebe raise her head and drink.
Phoebe lay her head back down on the sofa and looked at Prue and Piper; she looked pale.
"I'll be back" Prue said, out of the blue, and kissed Phoebe's forehead.
"Hang in there, okay?"
Phoebe looked at her, without saying a word.
"Where are you going?" Piper asked.
"I think I might be onto something" Prue said and walked out of the living room.
"Wait a second�" Piper said and walked towards Prue.
Phoebe looked at her, and suddenly started coughing.
She felt something choking her, she couldn't breath.
Piper turned to Phoebe and ran towards her, "I'm here Phoebes" she said; holding Phoebe's cold hand.
"It's s� so cold" Phoebe whispered.
***** ***** ***** ******
Prue entered her car and headed to her office.
She took out a piece of paper and a pen out of a small drawer as she stood at a traffic light.
"Bring me the thing I need most.
Listen to my call, visual ghost.
Never minding all the rest, show me the zest.
Say the words that will make me feel.
Be sure to make it real".
Prue dropped the pen as the traffic light changed and turned sharply to the left.
She drove into a parking lot and stopped the car.
Something was changing; she wasn't alone in the car anymore.
"Ah! What am I doing here?"
Prue looked in the rear mirror and saw Malloy, sitting in the back seat, swirling and looking around in confusion.
She opened her mouth, ready to ask him what the hell he was doing there when suddenly she changed her mind. Well, not really changed it.
Prue turned to him and moved towards him.
"What�? How did I get here? What are you?" he asked in shock.
"The best nightmare you ever had" she said sat on top of him.
He looked at her in surprise; a smile appeared on his face as she looked down at him.
"Prue�" he mumbled but she put her finger on his mouth.
"Shut up Malloy" she said and kissed him.
****** ****** ****** ****** ******
Piper walked into Prue's room. She wasn't sure what she was looking for but she had to try to find anything that might help Phoebe.
Suddenly, she noticed a small book lying on the floor and a pen next to it.
Piper picked it up and opened it.
Hmm, Piper thought to herself as she flipped through the pages of the diary.
All of a sudden, the empty page started filling itself, with Prue's hand writing.
Piper looked at it curiously, "Bring me the thing I need most.
Listen to my call, visual ghost.
Never minding all the rest, show me the zest.
Say the words that will make me feel.
Be sure to make it real".
She closed the journal and hurried downstairs to Phoebe.
"Phoebe! You will not believe what I found" she said and bent down next to Phoebe.
She didn't look well.
"What?" Phoebe asked quietly; looking at Piper.
"I think its Prue's diary" Piper said and handed it to Phoebe.
"When I opened it, I saw words writing themselves�"
"Ah!!" Phoebe closed her eyes. She saw herself dead.
She opened her eyes and looked around in fear.
"Phoebe, honey, are you alright?" Piper asked, touching Phoebe's face.
"What did you see?"
"Me�" Phoebe took a deep breath, "dead".
