Chapter 4 La Citta Eterna. As you can see that Leo has saved the 'night', but will he join forces with Spike, Angel and Pike to save Krista and Buffy from the evil immortal's grasp? Read on my beauties.
"Why didn't you call sooner?" ask Leo. "I was worried about Krista too."
"We know, but we believed you'd have your hands full," says Miranda.
"I'm never too busy for anyone..."
"Leo, you have two kids," says the girl that came with him. "You're busy."
"Paige," says Leo looking at her. "Look I want to help get Krista back."
"So do we, but the immortal is not going to give her up," says Angel. "He's got some new powers."
"Yeah, tossed us out the window from the second floor," says Spike.
"Yikes," says Paige. "That had to hurt."
"That's Krista's other power," says Miranda. "She was also a witch."
"Telekinetic. Like yours Paige, but different," says Leo.
"Different how?" ask Paige.
"Her powers are separate," says Leo. "More like Prue's powers were and she also has the white lighter powers."
"Why doesn't she use her powers to escape?" ask Paige.
"Because the immortal is taking her powers from her," says Pike. "Got it from a warlock."
"How do you know this?" ask Angel.
"Buffy found out," says Pike.
"We need to get Krista out of there," says Leo.
"We can help," says Paige. "I'll go get Phoebe and Piper."
"Paige I don't think you should get into this," says Leo.
"Krista is an innocent," says Paige. "And she needs our help."
"Okay," says Leo as Paige orbs out to get her sisters. Leo turns to Angel. "How do we get inside?"
"Well not through the front door like last time," says Spike.
"I've got a plan," says Angel as he heads outside. They all follow him. Angel picks up three of the mafia guys who got in Angel's way lying on the ground. "If you don't mind undercover work."
"Right then the little one's mine," says Spike pulling off the suit from the smallest mafia guy.
"Pike you stay here and watch over Tracey and Miranda," says Angel.
"Okay, good luck," says Pike.
Angel, Spike, and Leo dress up like mafia guys as three girls orbed in.
"Leo why are you dress like a mafia guy?" ask Piper.
"I'm going undercover Piper," replies Leo. "Are the kids..."
"Yes, they are fine. They're in magic school," says Piper. "Who are your friends?"
"I'm Angel," says Angel shaking Piper's hand. "And this Spike."
"Nice names," says Piper.
"Okay so what's the plan?" ask Phoebe.
"We go in, beat up the immortal, get the girls out, and get out without getting killed," says Spike.
"Sounds like a plan to me," says Paige. "Let's go."
"Wait a minute luv," says Spike. "Where do you think you're going?"
"I think we'll have an upper hand with magic on our side," says Leo.
"They're witches," says Angel. Leo nods. "The immortal wanted witches. Then he'll get three."
At the immortal's place the immortal lies on his bed and Buffy lies with him giving him grapes. When Buffy goes over to get another grape the immortal surprises her by pulling her on top of him.
"What are you doing?" ask Buffy.
"We've known each other for a month," says the immortal. "Shouldn't we move to the next level?" Buffy gulps then begins to think of something to say.
"It's really not a good idea to mix business and pleasure," says Buffy in seductive tone. "Although some go really well." Buffy starts to wiggle around on top of the immortal.
"So what are you waiting for?" ask the immortal. Buffy's eyes grew big.
Angle and his mafia band arrive at the immortal's place with the Charmed ones and they all head to the front door. Under their feet broken glass is heard.
"What's with all the broken glass?" ask Phoebe. Angel and Spike nod their heads and put their hats on to conceal their faces.
The door opens and they all see the enormous place that the immortal has for himself. Speechless for a moment, the three guys hold the Charmed ones.
"We're here to see the immortal," says Angel. "We have the witches that he wanted."
"Very well," says the butler in Italian. Then suddenly the butler freezes.
"Piper," says Leo. Piper and the girls walk in first. The guys follow them. "Why did you freeze him?"
"Cause I didn't know what he was saying and it could probably be something bad."
"Piper he was welcoming us in." Phoebe and Paige walk behind the frozen butler and see a wooden stake in his hand.
"What kind of weapon is this?" ask Phoebe taking it from his hand.
"See I knew he'd recognize you," says Spike.
"Me. He probably recognized you," says Angel.
"Why would he attack you two with a stake?" ask Leo.
"Because they're vampires," says Phoebe.
"Leo you're making friends with vampires," says Piper.
"I didn't know they were vampires," says Leo.
"I knew it," says Paige. "He was way too white to be human."
"Look who's talking luv," says Spike.
"Hey!" says Paige.
"Okay lets stop this," says Angel. "We're both here to save a friend so lets do what we came here to do."
"Do we take orders from a vampire?" ask Paige looking at her sisters.
"They protected Tracey and Miranda," says Leo. "I think that proves that they're good."
"Alright, lets find Krista and get out of here," says Piper.
"Wait," says Phoebe. She hits the butler on shoulder with the non-pointed side of the stake. The old man falls to the ground. Then Paige and Phoebe drag him into a closet and close the door.
"I thought you said they were good witches," says Spike to Leo.
"They are," says Leo.
Meanwhile in England Willow Rosenberg arrives from her long trip. She is searching for a man with dark hair that will pick her up.
"Willow over here," calls the man. Willow walks over to him and puts her bag down. She hugs him tightly. "I miss you Will."
"Me too," says Willow as she releases her friend. "I thought you'd be wearing a Lyon cloth or something like that." Willow smiles.
"Willow we don't wear that in Africa," says her friend Xander Harris. "I'll only wear it on special occasions."
"So it's in your bag. Right," says Willow. Xander laughs.
"Yeah Will, it is," says Xander. "Come on we've got a train to catch."
Back at the immortal's house they decided to split into two teams. Piper, Leo and Angel are one team and Spike, Phoebe, and Paige are another. Piper's team head upstairs and Spike's team search downstairs.
Upstairs Piper, Leo, and Angel begin to check rooms. Piper freezes the room as Leo opens the door and Angel walks inside to look around. When they arrive to the last room of the hallway, that's when Angel identified the man sitting frozen on a bed as the immortal.
"Why I don't I blow him up?" ask Piper.
"You could do that?" ask Angel turning to Piper.
"You can't do that Piper," says Leo. "We need to find Krista first."
"Who's the girl?" ask Piper looking at a blonde girl mixing a drink with a pill.
"Unfreeze her," says Angel. Piper unfreezes Buffy and she sees Angel right in front of her.
"Angel what are you doing here and how did you..." says Buffy. She looks at the immortal who is frozen on his bed. Angel folds his arms and looks at her.
"That's not important. You had sex with the immortal," says Angel.
"So what. It's none of your business what I do," says Buffy.
"Like hell is not," says Angel. "He's evil Buffy."
"You were evil."
"That was different! I have a soul and he has...I don't know."
"Um excuse us," says Piper. "We're here to get Krista and you out of here and we don't have time for you two to have a two hour argument." Buffy and Angel look at Piper.
"She's right," says Buffy. "Let's go." Buffy walks pass by Leo and Piper.
"No wait a minute." Angel grabs Buffy and puts her over his shoulder.
"Let me go," says Buffy.
"What are you doing?" ask Leo.
"You stay here and keep the immortal busy like you were," says Angel.
"No," says Buffy as Angel puts her down.
"Let's go find Krista," says Angel walking out of the room. Piper shrugs at Leo and follows Angel. Piper unfreezes the room as Leo closes the door.
"Sweetie what's the matter?" ask the immortal. Buffy looks at the immortal.
"It's hot in here," says Buffy as she takes the drink she made for the immortal. Buffy begins to breathe hard and puts her hand on her chest. She then falls to the ground. The immortal gets off the bed and runs over to her side.
