Piper Halliwell laid Chris back into his bed and turned his light off and watched him slowly go to sleep. He was growing up so quickly and it amazed her, she loved Chris so much, as well as her first son, Wyatt. She was so lucky to have them as her children. She smiled to herself and closed the door behind her. Everything was quite quiet in the Halliwell manor and Piper found that their was nothing for her to do. Phoebe had her own place to live now with Coop and the same with Paige and Henry. So it was just her, Leo and the boys. Piper walked slowly back downstairs, hoping that she might be able to give Phoebe or Paige a quick ring to see how they were or just to watch TV.
She found it hard not having her sisters in the house with her all time anymore. She found it quite lonely. She had the children and her husband Leo but it didn't feel quite the same. She had spent most of her life with her sisters in the manor and to not have them now made it a bit difficult to find stuff to do. Though, she always knew that this day was going to come, she knew that her sisters couldn't all stay living together for the rest of their lives and so maybe it was all for the best.
Piper was just about to walk down the stairs to the living room when she heard a loud noise coming from the attic. BANG. She turned her head quickly up towards to the attic. She was hoping that it was not a demon or warlock in the house now. She walked quickly up the attic stairs and towards the door. She swung the door open with her hands in the air ready to freeze or blow anything that was in the room. Nothing. She walked into the room and slowly put the light on, not keeping her eyes off the centre of the room. When the light came on, she noticed that there was nothing or no one in the room. All she could see was a pile of boxes lying carelessly on the floor. She went over to pick them up and placed them back in the corner. Just then something fell on her foot.
"Ow!" Piper said to herself. She looked down and saw that something had fallen on her foot. It was a book of some sort. She placed the rest of the boxes down and went to pick the book up. She sat in the nearest chair to examine the book. She noticed that it was quite dusty and that some of the dust had already been wiped off. She frown to herself wondering who had been up here. Leo was in the bedroom asleep from the day that he had spent in Magic School, it could not have been Chris because she had put him to sleep and Wyatt, well he might have orbed up into the attic to distract mummy. She opened the book, wondering what was inside and then she remembered what had been inside the book. Photos. A collection of her elder sister Prue. She looked through the photos and ran her fingers over lots of different pictures wishing that her sister might be able to feel her touch. She remembered when she had put these photos in the album, it was just after she had died. She could recall placing ever single photo in here, just to remember her by. She would never be able to forget that day, never, not for the rest of her life.
Piper felt a tear forming in her eye, she raised her hand to her face to wipe the tear away, she didn't want to cry, not now. She missed her sister all the time. It was unfair that she had been taken away from her. Sometimes she hated Leo for healing her because they were married, she always would. She felt that Prue was the one that had to have been healed instead of herself.
She shut the book quickly and placed it down next to her, she didn't want to look at anymore she didn't want to get emotional. She sat up from her sit and made her way to the door of the attic. She switched the light of the attic off and shut the door behind her.
Something was watching Piper Halliwell leave the attic room, it was trying to reach out for her. To hold her and to let her know it was there. She moved across the attic room and tried to follow her but it couldn't open the attic door. It was impossible for the figure to do so. So, the figure walked through the door and followed her down the stairs, trying to be careful not to be heard by Piper. Suddenly she stopped walking and spun around quickly and stared straight past at the figure.
"Hello? Who's there?" The figure just looked at her, trying to reach it's arm towards her, hoping that she would be able to see it. But, Piper turned around slowly and suspiciously and walked into her room quickly and closed her bedroom door, not knowing that the figure was watching her every move.
The next morning Piper was in the kitchen with Leo, Wyatt and Chris. She was eating her breakfast and trying to figure out what had happened last night in the attic. She felt like someone had been watching her constantly as she had left. She felt a shiver go down her spine. It made her feel scared that someone could have been watching her. She turned to Wyatt and watched him play with his food, wondering if it was him that had played with the boxes in the attic. "Leo, do you know if Wyatt had orbed into the attic last night?" Leo looked up from his newspaper and looked at his wife and looked at her strangely. "No, what makes you ask that?"
"Hmmm, maybe it's nothing, but when I was going downstairs last night I heard a loud noise that came from the attic." Piper said to Leo, playing with her food, just like her son Wyatt.
"Oh, was there a demon or anything up there?" He asked her, worried that she might have been attacked by something or someone, as he put his newspaper down to listen to her.
"No, that's the thing. Once I had got up there all I could where some boxes lying on the floor. And then when I was leaving the attic, it felt-it felt like someone was-was following me. It was kind of creepy." She told her husband. She was hoping that he might know something about it, but it was difficult for him to go and find out when he wasn't a Wight lighter or an elder anymore.
"Well, maybe it was just nothing. You know?" he replied back to her and went back to reading his newspaper.
"Yeah, maybe it was. But I'm going to ask Phoebe and Paige in case they heard or saw anything unusual." Piper decided to carry on eating and finish the topic of what had happened last night. She didn't know what had happened last night and if it was Wyatt that had orbed into the attic for a bit of fun but she was definitely going to find out soon.
