IF YOU GO, I'M COMING WITH YOU...
AU CHARMED - Magic... I label this Piece a Short, similar to a Short Film, it's a little peak into Leo and Piper's life post 8th Season...
Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed... though, as most of you, I wish I did...
He told me once that he would do anything to protect me, that he would give his life to save me...Only one thing he didn't realize, I would do the exact same for him in return... So here in-lies the dilema.. Neither one of us was going to leave without the other, and we both would die to make sure the other one could live on... Doesn't take a genius to figure out that this just would not work...
How does one survive, continue, exist, when the other half of their heart, their soul mate dies?...It's like dieing yourself, or at least that's what I imagine it would feel like... I say this with conviction because I very nearly lost Leo once before to some pathetic Demon's plot of revenge. Mear seconds stood between our fate and some how we managed to beat the odds once again. My life seems to take on the characteristics that of a cats; always curiously tempting fates, and wanting to know just how many live's one truely has.
SO, how does one decide the others fate if neither one is willing to leave without the other?... Trust me on this, fighting about it WILL NOT bring you any closer to a resolution... How do I know?.. Because that's exactly what Leo and I did, we fought...and screamed...at one point something managed to explode across the room... Don't worry, I wasn't aiming it him, the lamp just seem to be in my way and had a un-timely ending there in it's resting place. That, or it was the Elders way of tellings us to shut up. And he/she would be right; what a truely pathetic thing to be argueing over. So"shut up" we did... By now exhaution out weighed my anger and all that remained was frustration, frustration we both felt and had no clue how to deal with.
I don't really remember how I took my next step, but I do remember gradeing my fingers threw my hair, and willing myself not to cry. Leo made a slow approach from my left, settled next to me, wrapped himself around me from behind. He pulled me closer to him, rested his cheek against mine, and his chin upon my shoulder.
"I'm sorry..." we both whispered, only a mear fraction of a second separated the words making it sound like a echo.
I needed in this moment to be closer to him...Wrapped deeply into my Human blanket...Within seconds I had myself firmly nestled between his legs, resting my head in the cruck of his kneck, wishing I could crawl inside of him and hide from the evil. Feeling my intentions and knowing my thoughts, Leo relaxed his cheek against my forehead.
"If it were possible Piper, I'd do just the same.."
