My greatest fear?
I used to think that being trapped in an elevator was my greatest fear. I've never been a big fan of them and most of them have always terrified me.
However, that wasn't even close to what I was really terrified of, and the fear demon, Barbas, used that to his advantage and caught me completely off guard. It wasn't until he used me as bait to try to lure Prue to her death that I was forced to face up to my real fear.
Losing one of my sisters.
While I was being forced to watch Prue struggle for her life in that swimming pool, I felt myself dying as well. It was like the panic over watching Prue drown was literally suffocating me. Piper almost lost both of us that night, and I think Barbas was counting on that.
What he didn't count on was that we're Halliwells.
Right when it seemed to be over, that Prue was gone, she suddenly came back up out of the water and faced Barbas down. Later, she told us that Mom had come to her and helped her see past her fear to save us both from Barbas.
I still have that fear -- of losing one of my sisters. I don't what I would do if I lost Prue or Piper. I really do think it would destroy me completely.
That's not something I ever want to have to face, and I'll do anything I can do to make sure they stay safe.
