Chapter 8

Opening of old wound's

Phoebe would drift asleep along with past Piper as the wind howled outside and the fire was about to go out. With no one else to connect herself too, she had no choice but to stay with her. A knock on the door startled both of them and Phoebe found she was up and heading for the door along with Weilburg.

"Hello," Weilburg said before opening the door.

"Weilburg its Hermann von Oynhausen I am a friend of Philippe," he said and she carefully open the door and let him in before anymore cold air could enter with him.

"Sorry for how cold it is in here, I have not had time to gather wood," Weilburg apologized.

"I understand and that is why I am here, Philippe wanted me to pick you up and take you to his house for the winter," he said while blowing into his hands to warm them up.

"What about Martha?" Weilburg asks and Phoebe could hear the fear in that question.

"She has agreed as well," he replied.

"Let me gather some things and I will be right out," she said and he nodded. Phoebe could see her gather some blankets and an old leather suitcase that has seen better days. Weilburg did not have much but she was careful with what she did have as she placed them gently inside. After about 10 minutes she was done and the man took the suitcase out of her hands and helped her outside to the carriage. There were no leaves on the trees that surrounded the area and the dirt was frozen in place by the cold. When they walked it sounded like egg shells being stepped on," she would have died if he didn't come for her," Phoebe thought as they entered the carriage.

Prue was with Philippe as he paced the living room while Martha was also making herself busy by trying to clean up a little but her pregnancy made that task difficult, and one of the servants stopped her.

"Martha you are in no condition," she said and took the towel out of Martha's hands.

"It's just busy work," Martha said and gave in to the looks of her friend." Fine I will sit and do nothing then," she said and the servant helped her sit down on the rocking chair.

"She should have been here by now," Philippe said while still pacing the room as he bit his nails.

"My husband she will be here please stop that nasty habit," Martha said as she picked up her knitting materials again. The front door opened and he stopped in his tracks as his friend along with Weilburg walked in. Prue could see how uncomfortable she was as she gripped her suitcase tightly to the point of her knuckles being white. Phoebe could also see how uncomfortable he was and the glare from Martha was enough to make anyone freeze in there spot.

"You made it, how was the ride?" he asks nervously.

"Good and thank you for this, I promise I will leave as soon as winter is over," Weilburg said and Hermann took her suitcase from her and he left the room.

"Well since everyone is in I will go to bed, good night husband," Martha said and after getting out of the chair she kissed him while making sure her sister could see it clearly. Phoebe had flashbacks to when Dan would kiss Piper and how he would look at Leo it always sent shivers down her spine as she knew he did it on purpose," Ouch," she said.

"Hay ya Phoebe," Prue said happy to see her sister.

"Hay ya Prue," Phoebe replied as Martha left the room.

"Thank you again," Weilburg said as she sat down across from the fire to warm up.

"I know this will be uncomfortable for you and I but I could not let you freeze," he said and kept his distance from her.

"She has not forgiven me," Weilburg said as she kept her eye on the fire.

"She will in time just keep your distance for now," he said as a servant came into the room. "He will show you to your room after you eat something."

Weilburg stood up and went to the dining table as Hermann came back in and he stepped into the light. It was the first time she got a really good look at him and her jaw almost hit the ground when his features became more distinct. "Oh my god Prue," Phoebe said as her older sister was looking around the room.

"What?"

"Andy," Phoebe said in almost a whisper.

Prue turned around to face the newcomer and sure enough he looked identical to Andy except for the long grayish wig he was wearing. "You have to be kidding me," she said as her hart skipped a few beats.

"I wonder if there is someone that looks like you here?" Phoebe asks.

"We are not here to fix me Phoebe," Prue replied and looked away as she closed her eyes tight. The memories of him were still too fresh in her mind and seeing him again just brought them back in a wave of emotions.

"Sorry sweetie," Phoebe said and tried to hold her but she was still attached to past Piper and could not move. Prue shook her head and got her bearings back as past Leo sat down on the chair in front of the fire while his friend sat next to him.

"It is going to be a harsh winter," Hermann said as he put his hands in front of radiant heat.

"In more ways than one," Philippe said.

"I am surprised Martha agreed to this considering what happened," Hermann said.

"They are blood and nothing is thicker at least I hope."

"Do you still have feelings for her?"

Philippe looked behind him and at Weilburg who was eating a hearty meal and hoped she did not hear the question," We need not to speak of it while she is here," he replied in a whisper and his friend nodded in understanding.

"On brighter conversation, what will you name your baby?" he asks.

"She wants to wait until it is born before we go down that argument road," Philippe replied with a laugh.

Phoebe had difficulty hearing the conversation between the two men as past Piper ate her food and when she was finished the servant took the plate and another led her to her room. "Prue we need to say the spell to get home," Phoebe yelled as she was leaving.

"Go ahead I want to hear this," Prue replied and Phoebe did not like leaving her sister behind but she understood and did the spell to return home.

When Phoebe returned home it was not the peaceful reception she was hoping for but instead the room was smoky and smelled like gunpowder. She let go of Prue's hands and looked around the attic for signs of life. Grams was tossing demons using her telekinesis but Patty was unconscious on the floor while Sheila was using a bat to beat the crap out of another. Darrell ran into the room with his gun drawn but everyone was too close to the demons for him to shoot. "Phoebe help!" he yelled and she went into action. She ran to the one closest to her mother that was about to stab her and used her martial arts to kick him in the ribs and then she grabbed a potion bottle off the floor that her mother dropped, and tossed it at the demon," I hope this is what this is for," she said and he exploded when it hit him. The other demon was now on his feet and formed an energy ball and set his sights on Sheila who just sent a demon flying backwards as she did an uppercut with the bat to his chin. "NO!" Phoebe yelled but before she could do anything, Darrell started firing one bullet after another. It did not kill the demon but it had enough force to push him backwards and distract him. "Ok Prue we really need you back now," Phoebe said as she ran towards the demon and used the beam above her to give her kick more force. She connected with his chest with both her feet and the demon went flying out the window and exploded on contact of the ground. The room was empty of demons and she ran towards her mother as Patty started to stir and she put her hand to her head. "Dammit what happened?" she asks as Phoebe helped her up.

"How can you guys get hurt?" Phoebe asks as she helped her mother to the couch.

"Were not transparent right now so I guess things don't just go through us," Patty replied as Penny ran to her as well.

"What is going on?" Phoebe asks nervously.

"They just started attacking I think they know what's going on," Penny replied.

"Piper," Phoebe said and made a run for her room as the others followed. The second she opened the door she felt a sense of relief as Leo was sitting on the bed next to her. "Thank god Leo," she said and that moment of relief would be gone the second he looked at her. She could see something was wrong, that something was off his eyes and Piper was jerking severely as he had his hand covering her mouth and nose," No!" she yelled and ran to her. Piper's body stopped moving and he stood up while smiling.

"Your too late bitch," he said and Penny sent him flying into the wall.

"Piper oh god," Phoebe said and checked for a pause but there was none and her eyes were wide open." Sheila help me!" she pleaded as Piper's soul was leaving her body.

"No god no," Penny said and then ran for the attic with Patty in tow.

"What are you doing?" Patty asks as tears were streaming down her face.

"Find an object now," she replied as she grabbed the bowl that had the mixture in it.

"What?"

"Do it before we lose her completely," she said and started mixing some of the contents from the table. Patty did what she was told and found a necklace in the pile of jewelry." Here," she said and handed it to her. Penny put the mixture on the necklace and said the spell while running to Piper's room.

Phoebe just stared at Piper's soul as it started to float and Piper was completely confused and lost on what was going on.

"What is happening?" Piper asks frantically and Phoebe could not tell her as Patty ran in and put the necklace on. She said the spell in reverse and Piper's soul went through the air and attached itself to Patty. The connection was made and Patty put her hand to her chest as she could feel Piper's soul struggle to stay that way.

"Its ok sweetie just stay with me, just stay with me," she said but she was already filling drained. "I will not be able to hold her for long so we need to fix him and then he can heal her," she said while pointing at Leo who was unconscious on the floor.

"Mom what did you do?" Phoebe asks as the situation was overwhelming.

"I am holding her soul here Phoebe, as long as she does not move on we have a chance," she replied.

"We need to preserve the body," Penny said as she looked at Piper's lifeless corpse.

"You have to be kidding me," Phoebe said as the thought of what she just said made her body shake.

"I think Leo is possessed so we need to keep him from going anywhere until we get out whoever is in him," Patty said and walked over to Leo. She used the ropes that held Piper and tied him up to make sure he would not get away.

"He can just orb," Sheila mentioned as she went to Piper's body.

"I know but the one who is possessing him may not know that, but we will need to block it," Penny replied as she left the room to get the extra crystals to make a cage.

Phoebe walked over to her mother who was breathing heavily," Mom are you ok?" she asks.

"Piper is strong Phoebe and it is hard to keep her soul attached, I may need to transfer her to Penny soon," she replied.

"Why is she fighting you?"

"Because of the dam spell I can feel it too and it is the strongest thing I've ever felt, we need to get this off of her and soon," she replied and sat down.

"I will get Prue," Phoebe said and ran out of the room but Patty went after her.

"No you need to finish this Phoebe, stay there until you see what happened we will handle things from here," Patty said and Phoebe nodded and continued her path to the attic. She sat down and held Prue's hands again while saying the spell to return to the past. Penny walked past her and back to Piper's room and put the crystals around Leo and Sheila was crying as she held Piper's head.

"They have a freezer in the basement, we can put her there," Penny said and almost vomited at the thought of putting her granddaughter in a freezer.

"It will only last for about 45 minutes. Before there is damage," Sheila said.

"its 45 minutes we can use," Penny said and grabbed Piper's legs," let's go."

"We are going to need some help to find Tabatha, Darrell I need you to do that for us," Penny said as she helped lift Piper's body.

"Ok but I need to know what she looks like," he said as he followed them down the stairs as they carried her.

"We will get you what you need when we are done doing this," Patty replied and they were now heading down the basement stairs. Sheila emptied the contents of the freezer and Patty with Penny gently lowered Piper into it. Penny put her hand on her daughter's face, "I love you baby stay with us, we will fix this I promise," she said and closed the lid and all of them felt their stomachs almost turned inside out at the sound of the latch closing tight.
