Every step of the way (Short Prue/Piper story)

A/N: This is a short story I wrote mainly to celebrate Shannen DohertyÂ’s b-day! I loved Prue and this is my way of saying it!

Disclaimer: I donÂ’t own the characters of Charmed!


Every Step Of The Way
I am looking at you and I know you can see me! Just beneath those shut eyelids of yours. You are sleeping and you are dreaming. Your eyes move frenetically behind your eyelids.

I wonder do you dream of me? Have I found my way back to your world? Am I still inside your mind? A tiny voice that makes you remember me?

When you look at my pictures do you know I am still the same person even though gone?

Do you think people cease to exist when you canÂ’t see them? This is what a small child would think but you my darling Piper are not a child anymore. I know that now. But still, do you think of me? Do you say how you miss me, like I do everywhere I go?

Yes, everywhere I go, for I donÂ’t remain in one place anymore. It is just too painful. I used to linger in the manor, unseen, inaudible. Hidden in my own substance, my essence, without a physical form. I was there when you were told that you couldnÂ’t have any children and I was there when your first baby was born. I say first because, my dear Piper, there will be others. YouÂ’d be surprised with what I know now!

It is true. I have turned wiser. I recall a time when as the oldest sister, I was supposed to have all the answers, but I didnÂ’t.
And that made me feel so weak and inadequate. I can sense you so deeply. So profoundly. All your pain and sorrow when I left you.
Just devastated inside, trying to pick up your pieces, wishing it was you the one who died instead of me.

But, donÂ’t you know me at all Piper? DonÂ’t you know IÂ’d rather die the most horrible death than ever even seeing you suffer? Than ever even seeing any of you suffer?
I wouldnÂ’t have it any other way. I love you too much. We may have had our bad moments but our love would rise above all that! It would shine through all that.

Even now, my darling Piper, I can feel you! Your touch, your kind wordsÂ… Even the cranky ones and it makes me feel warmth again.

So here I am tonight like any other night. Next to your bed, watching you sleep. Not moving. I went to PhoebeÂ’s and PaigeÂ’s rooms too. I watched them sleep. Listened as they breathed in and out. Calmly and confidently. Unlike you.

Because you, my dear Piper, may have the most intense and destructive powers but you are the most vulnerable of the three. At least emotionally. The others donÂ’t need me like you do. They donÂ’t need me that much, they have found their way. But you! You still feel lost and overwhelmed by everything that is happening around you. You are still in search of your path. And I want you to know Piper that I will be there for you. Every step you take until you find happiness again. I am here for you!

Sleep well my sister and I will be the first thing you will see when you wake up in the morning! I will be the first to place a sweet kiss on your forehead.
In essence I am here for youÂ….



The End
