Turns out when Patty made that deal with Nicholas he took half of her unborn baby's soul as collateral without anyone knowing. Phoebe was only half a soul, half a personality. When the sisters vanquished him they lost any chance of Phoebe becoming w...

By the time summer was out Prue had realized that Paula lied about her making a move on Andy. Andy, the boy who lived a few doors down most of their lives was moving to Portland with his parents and as she knew wouldn't be back for about a decade. Prue was inconsolable and her, well she was apathetic all things considered. She'd been slapped, her face bruised and lightly cut from Prue's nails because Andy carrying her to the nurse after she got nailed in the head with a dodgeball during gym by a jock apparently meant she was putting the moves on him. Finding out the reason for Prue's flip out hadn't made things any better, in fact it made them worse. After finding out the truth Prue hadn't apologized she'd just walked into her room told her that Paula had lied, No shit, and acted like everything was fine. She understood that pride was Prue's deadly sin and apparently it always had been.
Prue was taking classes and out of the house for most of the day once the Fall semester started and while she and Piper were in classes she was writing. She had written out each of her books and even made herself an a pen-name, Ophelia Bahlie-Phellows. It was an anagram of her full name and it had certainly taken awhile but it was done. Her emancipation was completed and filed with the state by December. The first thing she'd done was open her own bank account and deposit all the birthday, holiday, and chore money she'd saved and had hidden the location of from Phoebe. She'd filed for an LLC and opened an account for it as well for future money she'd make that Phoebe wouldn't know about as she was positive that Phoebe couldn't gain the information now.
She'd submitted a short manuscript of the first book for the Vampire Diaries series once she'd had the bank information settled. They thought she was joking at first and then they thought they could play her but she'd not only proved them wrong but informed them that if they tried to deny her a fair cut of the profits she'd sue them and went into detail on exactly how she would do so by siting several laws that could be used to her advantage and end up with her not only ending up with the majority in not the entirety of the profits but still have them paying for it.
Needless to say the agent she met with was impressed with her and they quickly worked out a deal once the Publishing House's head met with her. Money talks and she had several keys to that especially when she informed them that she had nearly finished each of the 8 books for the series and was already working on a new one and possibly doing other 'Diaries' attached to the TVD. Needless to say she walked out with another meeting scheduled to go over a contract. With an agreed advanced payment of $150,000 settled into her bank account and a promise of 15% in royalties for the first 8 books of the Vampire Diaries series under the condition she provide the first 3 to be published throughout the next year with The Awakening being published by the end of January. Meanwhile she'd taken a part-time waitressing job at Buddy's so that the mini-Phoebe would believe the money came from that.
