Chapter 1 A Return and a Goodbye

The spell Piper had cast backfired and now every man looked exactly like Leo! The wasn't what was supposed to happen, the spell was just supposed to make Leo invisible to the Angel of Death. Piper didn't know what to tell Leo because, he was for sure going to die. She just couldn't let that happen, but it had to happen for some unknown reason.

Paige was at a café while Phoebe was supposedly shopping at the mall. She sighed and continued to drink her cookies and cream cappuccino. The witch/whitelighter saw someone that she wasn't expecting to see ever again, Cole Turner. Paige finished her cappuccino, threw it in the trash, and tried to walk out without being noticed, but Cole did see her. He walked over to her and Paige cursed under her breath.

"How'd you come back?" Paige asked Cole and he sighed.

"The Elders brought me back, but please don't ask me why because, I'm not allowed to tell." Cole informed her and Paige sighed.

"Fine, but this better not be some twisted way to get my sister back." Paige told him.

"I'm not trying to get Phoebe back." Cole informed Paige and she was unconvinced, "Please don't tell your sisters I'm back."

"I won't tell my sisters that you're back." Paige told him and she walked to an alley before she orbed out.

Halliwell Manor

Paige heard noises from the attic and quickly ran up there. She saw Piper there making a potion and casting a spell. The witch/whitelighter wondered why her sister was doing that. Piper didn't seem to notice that Paige was standing right there.

"Piper, what's wrong?" Paige asked her oldest sister and saw that Piper was crying.

"Leo's going to die and I can't do anything to stop it!" Piper told her youngest sister and Paige looked at her sister in disbelief.

"Why can't you stop it? We've cheated death before, so why should this be any different?" Paige asked as tears formed in her eyes.

"I don't know, but the Angel of Death told me that 'everything happens for a reason' and I don't know what he meant." She said as tears fell down her face. Paige walked over to Piper and embraced her sister as they both cried.

"We know that everything happens for a reason like when Prue died. Even though I've never met her I'm still sad that she died." Paige informed Piper and the oldest sister nodded. The sisters stopped hugging and they saw Leo walk into the attic.

"What's going on?" Leo asked the sisters.

"Something that we can't stop." Paige told Leo cryptically and Piper nodded agreeing with Paige.

"What's going to happen?" Leo asked and Piper decided to tell him. She walked over to her husband and looked at him sadly.

"You're going to die." Piper quietly told him and Leo looked shocked and sad.

"Why?" He asked and Piper shook her head.

"We don't know why. All we know for sure is that something big is going to happen." Paige informed Leo and he sadly nodded. The three of them walked downstairs and outside to Piper's car. Suddenly gunshots were heard and Leo was shot. Piper didn't have enough time to freeze time so that Leo could live. Paige ran into the house and called 911 leaving Piper outside with Leo. Piper sat down next to Leo and saw that he wasn't breathing.

"Leo, please don't die." Piper said as she pulled Leo as far up as she could while sitting down. She soon realized that he was dead and hugged him while she cried, "No, no, no." Paige came back outside and saw that Leo was dead. She sat down next to Piper and hugged her oldest sister. Piper and Paige were still crying when the ambulance arrived. The paramedics saw that he was dead, so they put him in a big black bag. They put his corpse on the ambulance and drove away.

Paige and Piper sadly walked into the manor and saw that Phoebe and Billie had returned. Those two were oblivious to what had just happened, but seeing the tear stained faces of Piper and Paige knew that it wasn't good.

"What happened?" Phoebe asked her sisters and Piper couldn't even comprehend the fact that Leo was dead.

"Leo was shot and he's now dead." Paige told Phoebe through her tears and Phoebe looked shocked, "The Angel of Death told Piper that this had to happen." Paige finished and the two now looked sad. They noticed that Piper had walked upstairs in tears. Phoebe, Paige, and Billie decided to leave her alone for a few hours.

"I'll be back later." Paige told Phoebe and Billie then walked out of the manor. She drove her car to the cemetery where her adoptive parents and real family were buried. The witch/whitelighter visited their graves and even cried knowing that someday she would die and be buried in the ground or in the mausoleum where Prue and the rest of the family was buried. Paige didn't like thinking about death, but knew she had to because being a witch and a whitelighter meant that you probably didn't get to live long. After a few hours of being at the cemetery Paige went back to the manor.

Phoebe and Billie saw Paige return and told her that Piper hadn't left her room. Paige decided to go up and talk to her sister. When she got to Piper's room she heard crying and walked into the room. Piper wiped the tears from her face and turned around to look at her youngest sister. Paige knew that her sister had recently been crying and sat down next to her.

"Piper, it's okay to miss him. I know that you still miss Prue, but they're not going to come back. It's also alright to hate him for leaving you and I know it's hard to move on. You'll never forget Leo because, he'll always somehow be with you." Paige said trying to comfort Piper and she managed a small smile.

"Thanks Paige." Piper said and embraced her sister.

"Your welcome." Paige said and the two stood up then walked downstairs. Wyatt and Chris were at Piper and Phoebe's fathers house so they were okay.

"Piper, how are you doing?" Phoebe asked her sister.

"I'm fine besides the fact that I just lost my husband." Piper answered trying not to sound angry.

"Good to hear that you're fine." Phoebe told Piper and they both smiled. Paige orbed out as she heard a jingling in her head and ended 'up there'. She saw elders and whitelighters there and was wondering why she was summoned.

Somewhere 'Up There'

"Paige, something big's about to happen." One of the older elders, Liam, informed her.

"What's going to happen?" Paige asked him worried.

"We currently don't know." Liam said and Paige rolled her eyes.

"Why do I find that not shocking?" She asked no one in particular and Liam sighed.

"Just go and prepare your sisters for the upcoming battle." He told her and in a swirl of bright blue lights Paige orbed back to the manor.

Halliwell Manor

Paige told her sisters what the elders had just told her and Piper couldn't exactly handle the news.

"Why should we even do this? We've been fighting for a long time and it's not like we haven't done a lot of good in the past eight years. So why are they making us sacrifice our lives again?" Piper said and her sisters looked at the ground.

"The elders didn't tell me why." Paige told her sister.

"Just like them always leaving something out." Phoebe said and Paige nodded in agreement.

"I just wish that Leo didn't have to die because, Piper's not coping very well without him." Paige informed Phoebe and she nodded in agreement.

"I know, but we can't just make her forget that Leo existed. It'll take some time for her pain to go away, but then again the pain might motivate us to fight. So that might be why Leo was killed, but what would be the reward for saving the world again? I mean we don't have anything to gain from this upcoming battle." Phoebe stated and Paige sighed.

"I know, but isn't there a possibility that Leo will come back once we defeat whoever we're supposed to?" Paige asked and Phoebe thought about it for a minute.

"It is a possibility, but we shouldn't tell Piper in case he doesn't come back after the battle." Phoebe said to Paige and she nodded in understanding. Then out of nowhere a man appeared in the living room. The man temporally froze the room with the a ring. Then a few seconds later the room unfroze and the sisters looked angry.

"Who are you?" Paige asked the man.

"I'm Coop, a cupid." Coop said and the sisters looked shocked.

"Just what we need right now." Phoebe said with sarcasm and Paige sighed.

"We're preparing for a huge upcoming battle so we would appreciate it if you went back to where you just came from." Paige said and Coop looked confused.

"The elders didn't tell you?" Coop asked obviously confused.

"Tell us what?" Phoebe asked back.

"That I was sent to help you two find love." He said and the sisters looked shocked.

"Why?" Paige asked what they were thinking.

"You two have closed yourself off from love." Coop informed them and they looked mad.

"Every time we fall in love they die or turn out to be a demon!" Phoebe exclaimed and Coop sighed.

"Well, you two have completely given up on love." Coop said and was starting to really annoy the two Halliwell's. Phoebe and Paige knew that was true, but they didn't want to admit it. They didn't have time for love right now because, there was a battle coming up and Coop didn't seem to care that they'll probably lose their lives during it. Phoebe and Paige knew that they couldn't date for two reasons, one Piper needed them to help watch the boys and two the upcoming battle was an issue.
