Phoebe says I worry too much, but I can't help it. I know how demons think. I know what they're capable of. I know what factions are out there and what their goals are. There may not be a Source of All Evil right now, but there are contenders for the title -- in name, if not in fact. The stronger factions want to prove they're the best. The weaker factions want to impress the faction they think will come out on top. And what's the number one way to do that?
Destroy the Charmed Ones.
I push Phoebe hard sometimes because I know there's a target painted on her back, and her sisters' as well. Paige can orb and Piper can freeze, but Phoebe has to rely on non-magical abilities to survive. Sometimes at night I lie there, unable to sleep, realizing just how tiny and fragile she is. Can she really handle the true evil that's out there? Is she strong enough to protect herself? What can I do to make sure she doesn't get hurt?
These are the questions that keep me up at night.
