*I would just like to thank everyone for the support that you have given this story. I was surprised, mostly because I was unsure, that anyone would still be interested in this story or anyone would read it considering how I ended the other story (which I apologize for). I guess I'll just wrap this little rant up by saying, I'm not promising any sort of happy endings, and people may or may not die in this story, but everything will work out the way that it's supposed to (hopefully). Also, I don't really know how much I'll update this one because I am working on two others as well and I have school and such. Plus, I haven't really mapped this story out yet, and I'm kinda playing it by ear, so I have no idea the direction it's heading in (always welcome to suggestions). Anyways, if you stick with me, then we will conquer this bumpy ride together. Still don't own anything. Enjoy :)
"What are you doing here? I already told you that you shouldn't be here." Someone's voice rang from behind her. She turned to see her husband leaning against a tree his arms folded against his chest. She smiled softly and started towards him. He stood up straight before taking a step towards her. "I missed you." She replied closing the distance between the two. She once again snuggled up in his chest and breathed in his scent. He closed his eyes and kissed the top of her head. The couple stood there for a few moments, taking in each other. He reluctantly pushed her away and looked into her eyes.
"You need to go. Please." "I can't. I don't even know how I got here, much alone how to leave. Please, just let me be here with you." He sighed and grabbed her hand. "Follow me." He told her and led her away from the tree. He took her to their spot, the same one that she had just left. He couldn't really tell how much time had passed since she had left, but he secretly, greedily, wanted for her to come back. That they could just spend all of eternity there together, never to part. But unfortunately for him, she didn't belong there or at least it felt like she didn't. It was hard to explain, but there was a voice in his head that reminded him that she needed to leave, but since he was selfish, he didn't make her leave until she was ready to, Because then that would just mean that he got to spend one more moment with her.
"A penny for your thoughts?" She asked. He smiled down at her. "I was just thinking about you. Like always." She smiled that extremely radiant smile of hers and snuggled back into his chest. At this point in time, the pair had already sat down on the ground and she immediately snuggled into his chest. He pulled her in as tightly as he could and wrapped his arms around her. There really wasn't a need for words just them to be together was enough.
Suddenly she turned and faced him. She caressed his check ever so slightly that it took his breath away. She then leaned forward and kissed him. He kissed back, hungrily, passionately. She responded positively and a small moan escaped her lips, which sent him over the edge and the passion increased. He was pretty confident that he nor she had ever been kissed like that. Without breaking the kiss, he readjusted them so that she was now lying on her back and he was on top of her.
Finally, after what seemed like eons, he broke their kiss to grasp for air and pulled back a little to look at her. He reached up to stroke her cheek and then ran a finger through her long, flowing hair. She smiled and grabbed his other hand, brought it up to her lips, still swollen from the kiss, and kissed it lovingly and tenderly. The two stared at each other, and he felt his heart swell. He felt complete and whole and hoped for the moment to never end. And then he was kissing her again. Their tongues swirled together in perfect harmony, as if that was the only thing that they had been made for. Her one hand stroked his hair while, the other pulled him closer to her. He held her in his arms, hoping it would be enough to keep her there. Of course, it wasn't
She was gone as quickly as she had come. He sighed and cursed up at the sky. He fell to the ground and began to sob. He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on her. On her smile, on her scent, on her hair, on their kisses. He hoped that if he thought about her long enough, then she would come back to him. That they would be together again. That finally no one would take them apart. She didn't come back.
Defeatedly, he stood back up and walked towards the tree that he first saw her at. He knew that the only hope he had of seeing her again was by this tree. It was always were she had appeared to him. He never knew when or for how long she would come back, but if he waited patiently enough by this tree, then eventually she would come back, just like she had before. Sometimes days went by before he saw her again. He really didn't know how she did it, but she always came even though she wasn't supposed to be there. He also didn't know how long she would be allowed to stay, but he didn't dwell on that too much. He only enjoyed the time spent together. Because for him it was the only way to see her. It was just them living in the moment.
He sighed again and lied down next to the tree. Determined to sleep until she returned, he contented himself with images of her. "Until next time my love." He whispered before falling asleep.

Piper was jerked awake. She had forgotten where she was again, but after a quick look around, she remembered everything. She saw her eldest sister asleep in the chair, which caused her to smile. Prue looked exhausted, like she hadn't slept in days, which she probably hadn't. Piper was then reminded of her dream, the one where she was with Leo. Her and Leo. The way it should be. She sighed, kind of loudly, which caused Prue to wake. "Piper. Is everything okay?" "Yeah, just a weird dream. Go back to sleep. We will talk in the morning." "Only once you go back to sleep." Piper nodded and snuggled back into her bed. She hoped she would dream about Leo again. Before falling asleep she thought she heard someone whisper, "until next time my love," but she shook her head and fell back asleep.
