Chapter 10: Hope
Paige POV:
"I don't care if I die! I just want Jesse to be safe!" Suze bawled. Tears threatened to spill over.
"Suze, listen, sweetie, you were there, and you got hurt. We can't take the chance of them killing you, you are our innocent, and we need-- no must—protect you. At all costs." Piper grimly added. We all tried to calm her down but nothing worked. Suze has a thick head; she might as well be an honorary Halliwell. And as any Halliwell here in the Manor, once we make a decision, we never back down, no matter what.
Despite Piper and Phoebe's warnings, she still wants to help fight against Seth. Personally, I think it would be better if we brought Suze with us…she must know something about shifting that we don't know. We must be missing something…
The Shifter paced back and forth, mumbling how she needs to protect Jesse and the priest. Piper took a deep breath and softly spoke: "I know how you feel. I almost lost my husband, and the thought of it just drove me crazy. So crazy, that I nearly lost my family, along with a really great friend." She smiled at Billie. In turn, Billie looked perplexed and being called a 'great friend.' Deep down, I think Billie knew that Piper has forgiven her. Phoebe smiled too at the whole forgiveness fest but probably nettled at the fact that she could feel it ten times stronger. Suze stopped for a second, glancing around.
"I just want Jesse and Father Dom to be safe," she barely spoke. Everyone sadly smiled at the poor girl. We all want love and a chance at a normal life—where everyone is safe--, but because of our destiny and powers, it is our duty to help the innocents. At least most of us found our one true love, it just gets complicated when it mixes with our witch duties.
"One thing you must learn when it comes to magic: there is a reason for everything. Most of my premonitions can be altered, but in rare cases, some have been set in hard stone. If they were meant to die, then we can't do anything about it, but I swear that we will do any and everything in our power to stop Seth," Phoebe vowed. Silence filled the room, only to be broken by Billie's excitement.
"Let's go kick some demon a.ss!" She cheered. Her enthusiasm gave us new hope, new strength. We followed her up to the attic with hope that we can once and for all kill the Source of all evil. Suze smiled.
"I have a good feeling about everything."
