"That is it, I just can't do this, I can't allow my girls to keep living like this. Because one of these days Patti, neither you or Penny will be able to protect them and one of these damn demons will kill them. And I'm not just going to let that happen" Victor yelled.
"Like I haven't heard this before" Patti said.
"Well this time is different, this time it was too close. I've been talking to my lawyer and I've already went to court" Victor said.
"Um Victor, we are already divorced" Patti said.
"I'm well aware of that. That's not what going to court was about, it's for a child custody case" Victor said.
"You can't actually think that I will allow you to take all my girls away from me" Patti said in horror.
"Well I can't take them all; I worked out a court deal. By pointing out that you were currently pregnant, and therefore would have another daughter soon I managed to get the judge to allow me to take two of the girls, so that we would each have two children. I made the case with a no visitation clause. So that my girls won't be coming back here, and being in danger ever again" Victor said.
"Which girls did you get custody of?" Patti asked in horrified whisper.
"Prue and Phoebe" Victor said sadly.
"What?" Patti said.
"Well I wanted them all, but I felt that Piper would be the one who wouldn't take to going away well, so when I had to pick one to leave with you, I felt that Piper would be better off staying here. She's also the least likely to jump into danger, and the most likely to hide, so she is the likeliest to be safe being left here" Victor said.
"What do you mean staying here... are you going somewhere?" Patti asked.
"Yes, but I'm not planning on telling you where. I told you, this is it. There is no visitation, and no contact. I'm not taking the chance that you might lead demons to Prue and Phoebe" Victor said.
"Please don't do this" Patti begged.
"It's already done" Victor said coldly.
"I'll… I'll stop you, with a spell" Patti threatened.
"No you won't, that would be personal gain, and I've been around you long enough to know that you can't do that" Victor said.
"Well I…" Patti trailed off.
"Enough, I'm here to get the girls. I have boxes in my car, and I'm going to go pack them up and then we are leaving" Victor said.
"Now?" Patti asked shocked.
"Well I couldn't give you enough time to run off with them or something" Victor said.
"Please, please don't do this! How can you separate them like this, and take them away from their family" Patti said.
"They will have me and each other and that will have to be enough. Now enough talk, I'm going to pack up their stuff, you can take this time to say your final goodbye to them" Victor said.
"You bastard" Patti screamed.
"Maybe in your mind, but I'm doing what's best for my girls, and that's worth taking on your hate. I won't allow you to kill them too" Victor said.
"Oh but you'll leave Piper here to die" Patti snapped.
"You think I want to leave her! I did everything but beg the judge to let me take them all, but she won't allow it, so I have to protect the daughters that I can and pray that maybe with only one daughter to protect, that you will do a better job of it" Victor said and with that he turned and grabbed the boxes and headed to the girls room.
A mere hour later he carried all the boxes out to the car and came to collect Prue and Phoebe.
"Say goodbye girls" Victor said.
"Bye bye mommy! Bye bye Piper!" Prue and Phoebe yelled cheerfully together, not yet realizing what was happening.
Victor leaned over and kissed Piper on the forehead and said to her "I love you baby, I wish I could protect you too. Stay safe, and remember daddy loves you."
And with that he leaned over and picked up Phoebe and Prue and carried them out of the manor, leaving behind a sobbing Patti and a bewildered Piper.
