LEO LOOKED for Phoebe everywhere after she left.

I wanted as well to help but orbing wasn't on my I-can-use-this-power-list yet, so I couldn't do anything. Except orbing things. Paige's power now I felt it like mine. It was easier to do so.

I walked out of my room after changing my clothes, arriving at the living room seeing Leo orbing soaking wet.

Paige and Piper looked up at him from where they were siting in the coach

"Leo, the Persian" Piper said.

I threw myself on the coach in front of them rubbing my eyes feeling tired

"I found Phoebe" Leo informed us. I looked up hopefully

"You did?" I asked in relief

"Why didn't bring her?" Piper asked frowning

"She's too fast... " Leo said slowly, and sheepish "And slippery" he told us

"It's official. Phoebe's on the run" Paige said with a sigh

"On the swim if we get technical" I corrected chuckling

"Well, what the heck's she swimming from?" Piper asked placing her hands on her hips "She's got billboards, TV interviews, she got her divorce, she should be loving life"

I exchanged a knowing look with Paige

"That's right, you don't know" Paige cringed slightly.

Piper frowned looking between us having seen our exchange "I don't know what?" 

"Well, I didn't wanna make you mad, you know, you getting so panicky and all" Paige began

"Yes, we've established, I was a spineless coward in the face of evil" Piper interrupted impatiently. "Now, what don't I know?" Piper asked giving us a look 

I took a deep breath, both of us saying at the same time "Cole's back"

Piper widened her eyes, starting to panic

Leo frowned in concern "What? Why didn't I know about this?" He asked looking between us with a scolding look

"What Phoebe told us confidentially" Paige said defensively

"Yes, but I'm your Whitelighter" Leo drawled out "As a witch you have a duty to let me know this sort of thing"

"I have a greater duty to my sister" Paige told Leo narrowing her eyes.

I stayed quiet, looking at Piper seeing her get more panicked by the second.

"Excuse me, but he's the former Source of all evil" Leo said "This is not something you just sweep under the rug"

Piper shook her head trying to get their attention but nothing came out of her mouth. I stood up and walked to her starting to rub her shoulder soothingly trying to calm her down

"Hey, take deep breaths Piper. Deep breaths" I said slowly, soothingly. A small light coming from my finger tips which I didn't notice making her calm down slightly "Guys, knock it off!" I snapped looking at them, my eyes glowing purple for a second.

Leo and Paige turned to face us startled and then walked quickly to us.

Piper seemed more calm now but was taking deep breaths to calm herself "Does he want my baby?" She asked calmer than before and I looked down at my hand, my eyes widening slightly seeing the light on my fingertips. I withdrew my hand back, the light fading away from my hands and Piper's shoulder

"Oh, no honey, of course not" Paige shook her head taking a seat next to her sister "He's in love, he wants Phoebe back" Paige said with a soft sigh

"Hey, that's it. If Cole and Phoebe declare their love..." Leo began but Paige interrupted

"Cole's love is the problem, not the solution"

"Paige, I know you hate Cole..." Piper said giving her sister a knowing look. She seemed calmer and I couldn't stop staring at my hands

"Yeah, I do, I loathe and despise him, but that's not the point" Paige said rolling her eyes "Mylie said that mermaids are cold hearted, maybe that's why my spell turned Phoebe into a mermaid in the first place" Paige told us

I looked up confused, dropping my hands "What?" I asked raising my hands shaking them in a 'stop right there' gesture  "What the hell are you talking about? This is Phoebe. Since when did Phoebe become cold hearted?" I asked frowning

"Well, maybe she's been in the deep freeze ever since Cole came back" Paige said

"So where do we go next?" Leo asked

"I don't know" Paige said frustrated, "Book Of Shadows, library of congress, internet. Anywhere we can to get rid of Phoebe's tail" Paige told us.

I nodded slowly. It was a good plan. As long as we found Phoebe

~8~

Not wanting to deal with a freaking out Piper, I left to my room still not knowing what the hell that light meant. It seemed to calm Piper but I didn't know if it was the reassurance that Cole wasn't coming for her baby or it was that light specifically

Or maybe it was my Guardian powers coming to play. Good thing it was something passive or I will have burned Piper.

I took a deep breath, thinking on what to do to help. There wasn't much information about what I could do in the Book of Shadows but there had to be something.

I paced around my room until I stopped in realization. I wasn't only a Guardian. I was as well a freaking White-Lighter.

I've seen what White-lighters do because of Leo, they can find people -their charges- focusing on them, though Phoebe wasn't my charge I could use that power at will to find her besides that the Guardian must have a power similar to that one, right?

If not how am I supposed to find people in need?

I closed my eyes, breathing in and out slowly focusing on Phoebe. She may deny she needs help but I know she does, that must active my Guardian searching and wanting to find her, must active my White-lighter searching. Both should be strong enough for me to find Phoebe. Hopefully.

Looking for her isn't easy being my first time. I furrowed my eyebrows, still with my eyes closed when I feel something shifting in the air. It's not a few seconds later when suddenly I have to grab my head, groaning softly in pain hearing a lot of mingling voices around my head with different senses of panic

"Oh, my God!" I exclaimed painfully opening my eyes and backing away to my bed, siting down breathing heavily in shock "The hell was that?" I murmured frowning.

It felt like a lot of people calling for help at the same time. It was painful having to sense their own panic.

I took a deep breath. Maybe I wasn't focusing on Phoebe enough. "Okay, okay. Only Phoebe okay? No the entire world" I said to myself, closing my eyes again and this time using every fiber of me and my powers concentrating on Phoebe.

Suddenly, it was like a movie appearing in front of me in flashes. In one, Phoebe was in a net full of fishes. The next she appeared on a fishing boat with three fisherman around her.

I opened my eyes, my glowing eyes glazed over "Where are you Phoebe?" I murmured, again closing my eyes

More flashes appear and I see Phoebe fighting the fisherman trying to escape. A tall, dark skeletal demon appeared in front of the fishermen in one of the flashes.

I opened my eyes breathing heavily once I heard her call for Leo. I knew she was in trouble. I didn't find where she was but I will call it a success seeing flashes of where she was.

I stood up trying to steady my heartbeat and breathing and walked out of my room not before grabbing a hairdryer and and towel

~8~

Once I arrived at the living room, I looked intently at the place where Leo orbed with Phoebe in his arms. I smiled in relief handing him the towel and the hairdryer as he placed Phoebe on the coach. 

Leo looked up confused "How? How did you...?" He asked blinking accepting the objects

I shrugged, smirking "I learned a new trick"
