Chapter 11

Trust broken

"Do I mumble am I incoherent, maybe I should try a different language, like French or Russian, what part of stay under the radar do you not understand?' Jezebel said as she ran her hands through her short dark hair as Brutus stood behind her in the basement of the club. Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Leo, Cole and Aidan decided it was best to keep their mouths closed as Jezebel ranted. "Oh look a demon to boot," she said while looking at Cole.

"Actually half demon," Cole corrects her and could feel the cold dark eyes of Jezebel Night staring through him. He bit his lower lip and put his hands in his pockets and looked away.

"There are a lot of slashes in this room, what about you werewolf are you anything else a leprechaun, fairy pain in my ass?"

"Nope just a werewolf," he replied and did the same as Cole.

"Jezebel I am so sorry about this but –," Prue attempted to apologize but was interrupted.

"Is that my dress?"

"I will pay to get it cleaned," Prue said as she tried to salvage their relationship.

The 2500-year-old vampire that was normally calm and collected was finding her new encounters pushing the limits of her demeanor." Do you know why I have you down here?" she asks and waited patiently for a reply but all of them shook their head no. "This is where I bring people who brake my trust as you can see it's not made for entertaining," she continued as they looked around the dark room that had the smell of dried blood and silver chains on the wall.

"Wait Jezebel we can still salvage this we know the cure," Prue said while she tried to keep herself calm.

"What do you mean?"

"We think the Council may have a shadow thief," Leo replied.

"They are a myth," Jezebel said.

"So are we," Brutus interjected.

"If you're right then I will let you live but if you're wrong, then get used to the surroundings," she said and headed for the stairs. "One last thing Astra stopped by today and she wants Phoebe as a human companion, she doesn't like to be told no," she finished as her and Brutus made their way to the upper part of the club.

"Perfect wait what does that mean?" Phoebe asks while heading for the staircase as well but the door slammed in her face," ok."

"It is like Leo and Piper it will create a bond," Prue replied as she put her hands on the cold concrete slab in the center of the basement.

"Ewe," Phoebe said as she came back down the stairs.

"Um are we locked down here?" Aidan asks.

"No Leo can orb us out," Piper replied.

"Phoebe its not like that, it just means she will have a blood bond with you and she will be the only one who can feed off of you," Prue said.

"How do you know so much about this?" Cole asks.

"I've been reading," she replied.

"Well I don't want to be," Phoebe said and started to pace the room.

"I don't think it's a choice and it might get us closer to the Council considering she's the headhunter for them," Prue said.

"Phoebe let me talk to her maybe I can talk her out of it," Piper suggested while leaning against the wall for support. She has not drank or fed and over four hours and was starting to feel the effects.

"How did Drake get out of the yelling session?" Cole asks.

"I don't know he just did," Phoebe replied and walked over to Piper who was rubbing her temples with the tips of her fingers. "Piper are you ok?"

"Yeah just a lot going on and just thirsty," she replied.

"You can drink from me if you want?" Phoebe asks and started looking for a sharp object.

"No Phoebe I will just get some supplement," Piper said as she leaned her head back on the cold concrete.

"Piper you need to drink real blood," Leo said into her ear.

"NO!" she yelled back and then her body slumped," Sorry Leo."

"Its ok let me go upstairs and get you something," he said and orbed away.

Piper felt week but most of all her senses were becoming stronger as everyone looked like a gourmet lunch. She looked at Prue and could see her jugular vein throbbing as blood was running through it. The sound of everyone's heartbeat was hypnotic as it rattled her eardrums. Without realizing it her fangs extended as everyone else blurred away and her focus was on Prue's neck.

"Hay," Aidan said as he pushed her slightly.

"Don't touch me," Piper said and was only a few inches away from his chest as she looked up at him. He towered over her but she was not phased by his height or strength.

"Ok let's get out of here before someone gets hurt," Prue suggested as Leo orbed with a bottle of the supplement but could feel the tension and see how close Aidan was to Piper.

"Get away from her," Leo said as he put himself between them.

"She was in hunt mode I was just keeping her from killing someone," Aidan said as he walked back over to Prue.

Leo turned around to face his wife and could see it in her eyes as he is seen it before. "Here Piper drink this," he said and handed her the bottle. She roughly took it out of his hand and walked over to the staircases and sat down and drank all of it down the one swallow. It's subdued the craving but not the thirst and she closed her eyes while trying to gain control of her desires.

Upstairs Jezebel and Brutus entered her office. "If Phoebe accepts the offer it will get us closer to our target," Brutus said as he shut the door.

Jezebel sat down and decided to calm herself with tobacco as she lit her cigarette. "What makes you think she will?"

"A little persuasion," he replied with a smile.

"Well then by all means persuade away," she said and took a long drag.

The nightclub was bustling as three men walked in and were not there for the usual delights. The man in the 1930s suit approached the bar as he looked at his pocket watch. "I'm looking for Drake," he said as he sat down on the barstool.

"He just left," the bartender said while cleaning off the counter.

"Do you have an address of where he may be?"

"Nope sorry."

"Here is my card if you should get that info, it will be worth your trouble," he said and pushed the card over to him. The name Dominic Lane was written on it.

"I will keep an eye out," the bartender replied and took the card.

"Since we have that out of the way what is there to drink?"

The bartender looked over at three women and two men that were at the end of the bar and nodded to them. "These should be suitable."

Dominic pointed to the man in his 20s and used his finger to indicate for him to approach. The others went back to the far end of the bar as the chosen man nervously walked up to him. Dominic's eyes narrowed and flashed a light red and the man's head hit the counter unconscious while Dominic kept his body from falling to the ground. "I don't like the food to squirm," he said and extended his fangs and gave a small smile before plunging them into the man's neck. The bartender continued to clean the countertop but made sure to move further down as he felt extremely uneasy. Another bartender interrupted the man's cleaning. "Hay its time for your break," he said and the other man nodded and left without complaint heading right for Jezebel's office.

"I can see by your face you do not have good news," Jezebel said as her bartender came in.

"There was a man named Dominic here and he just knocked someone out by looking at them," he said.

Jezebel rolled her eyes and then started to bang her head on the table gently," Drake," she mumbled.

"Thanks," Brutus said and closed the door again to the office as the bartender left.

"You are attracting quite a few unusual people," he said as Jezebel stood up from her desk.

"I just don't want to end up with a bunch of knifes in my back," she said while heading for the door.

"Was that a Caesar reference?" he said as he followed her out.

Leo orbed everyone back to the manner as the clock struck 3 AM and their bodies were feeling the strange hours they have been keeping.

"I need to get home," Aidan said to Prue.

"How will we contact you?" she asks.

"A dog whistle," Piper replied as she headed for the kitchen.

Prue just looked up to the ceiling trying to ignore the comment," Sorry she has been under a lot of pressure lately," she said.

"Be careful around her," he said low.

"Why?'

"If she does not feed on the real thing she will lose control," he replied.

"I know her and she will not hurt us," Prue whispered back.

"My girlfriend wouldn't hurt a fly either but it happened," he said as he opened the front door to leave.

Prue exhaled deeply as he handed her his phone number." Just be careful," he finished and changed back into a wolf. She shook her head slightly and picked up Leo's cote off the porch while looking around the neighborhood for any signs of being spied on. Prue stepped back into the house as Cole and Phoebe were heading for the kitchen.

"I need a shower and to get changed," Prue said to Phoebe.

"Ok sweetie."

In the kitchen Piper was cutting vegetables and everyone looked at her a little oddly. "Piper what are you doing?" Cole asks.

"Cooking dinner," she replied as though it was a stupid question.

"It's three in the morning and you don't eat remember," Phoebe said.

"I know its for you guys," she replied while continuing her cutting.

Cole could not help but look at Piper's cleavage and was getting a little too excited. He shook his head trying to clear his thoughts while Phoebe walked over to her." Piper stop we are not hungry we are tired and need showers," she said and put her hand on Piper's.

The middle sister stopped her cutting and knew she was right but she has not cooked in over two weeks and needed the calming that it gave her. "Phoebe I need to do this," she said.

"Ok honey just keep an eye on the time," she reminded her and walked back over to Cole. "After Prue gets out of the shower do you want to take yours?"

"Yeah," he replied as a cold one was coming to mind.

"Ok I will take mine after yours," Phoebe said and headed for the living room as Leo was looking at his jacket that was torn in a few places.

"Look what he did," he said holding up the torn sleeve.

"Well he's a little bigger than you," she said and tried to hide a smile as she walked past him.

"Its not the size that matters," he mumbled as he headed for the stairs. "I am going to put up crystals and we need some kind of motion detection system, just in case we get visitors tonight," he said and headed for the attic.

"We should keep the lights out too so they can't see in," Phoebe suggested as she turned off one of the lamps.

The house was quiet and dark as everyone had their showers and was now in bed sleeping comfortably as 5 am was showing on the digital clock in Prue's room. Piper doesn't know why she was standing there, she even didn't remember walking into her room, but there she was. Prue was sleeping on her back and her head was turned to one side exposing her neck. Like before it throbbed as blood moved through the massive vain and Piper could feel her mouth water. The wind was coming through the window and was almost like a whisper telling her to feed, to drink to survive. Piper licked her lips and moved her tongue around her sharp fangs. The feeling was stronger than anything she has ever experienced in her life and all reasonable thought was gone. She climbed onto the bed and put one hand on Prue's head and the other on her wrist as she opened her hungry mouth to feed. "Just a little," she thought as she got closer and closer to what would truly quench her thirst. She could not wait any longer and bit hard into Prue's neck. She could feel the blood enter her mouth down her throat and into her body. It was better than sex better than cooking and the more she tasted the more she wanted. Prue felt the sharp pain and opened her eyes thinking a demon was attacking but when she tried to turn her head; Piper became more violent and kept her from doing so. She tried to push her away with her free hand but was losing consciousness fast and Piper was just too strong. Prue even tried to use her power but the lack of strength and the shock of the situation made that task impossible. Her only other choice was to scream for help but it came out as a whimper as Piper moved her hand to Prue's mouth to keep her from screaming. "Oh god Piper stop," she said through Piper's fingers but it was no use. "Piper stop!" she pleaded and fault with everything she had but it was not enough and she felt her life leaving her. Piper could hear Prue and even knew what she was saying but it did not matter only the blood mattered as she continued to drink. Phoebe opened the door to Prue's room because she could hear some commotion and stood there in shock for a moment as Prue's body went limp.

"Piper stop!" she yelled and ran to push her off.

The middle sister would not allow any interruption of her feeding and grabbed Phoebe's neck, squeezing hard as blood ran down the sides of her mouth." Piper stop," Phoebe gasps out in between short breaths as Piper squeezed. Cole shimmered in the room as he could feel something was wrong with Phoebe and went into action. He formed the fireball and tossed it at Piper, hitting her in the arm. Piper let go of Phoebe's neck and the sharp pain brought her out of her hunting mode. She looked around trying to get control and to understand what just happened. She looked at Prue's motionless body and could see the teeth marks in her neck and the pool of blood on the pillow. "Oh god," she said and put her hand to her mouth as her entire body shook.

"What happened?" Leo asks as he orbed in.

"Heal her," Phoebe replied as she ran to Prue.

Leo placed his hands over Prue and the orange glow began its healing while Cole made sure to keep an eye on Piper. Phoebe was relieved that Leo was able to heal Prue but now she was furious with her other sisters actions.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Phoebe I'm sorry," Piper replied as red tears came down her face.

"We offered to give you our blood but you refused and this is what happens," Phoebe said as her rage was building.

"I know – I know please I'm sorry, Leo is she ok?" Piper asks as she tried to walk over to Prue.

"Barely," he said as his healing was still working.

"Get out!" Phoebe yelled while tightening her fist.

Piper felt an odd sensation of being pulled from behind by some invisible force although it was slight it was there," Phoebe please it won't happen again," Piper pleaded.

"Get out I recant your invitation," Phoebe said as tears streamed down her face.

Piper's stomach tightened and it felt like a knot was being made out of her insides and her hart was breaking. The invisible force from earlier was now too strong for her to ignore as she was tossed backwards out of Prue's bedroom door and down the staircase.

"Wait Phoebe," Leo said but could not stop his healing as Prue was still in danger of dying.

The baby sister headed out of the room as Piper was starting to stand on the landing of the staircase.

"Please Phoebe," Piper pleaded once more.

"Get out now!"

Piper could no longer fight the insatiable pull and she was being dragged on the floor by her feet to the front door.

"Dammit Phoebe its almost morning," Leo yelled from upstairs as his healing was almost finished.

Piper held onto the doorframe with her fingers as Phoebe walked up to her. "We trusted you and you said you could keep it under control, you almost killed her so until you learn control you are not permitted in this house," Phoebe said and Piper's grip ceased and she hit the sidewalk hard as Phoebe slammed the door.

Leo and Prue along with Cole ran down the stairs.

"Phoebe what did you do?" Prue demanded.

"She almost killed you," Phoebe replied in defense of her actions.

"She has nowhere to go," Leo said and opened the front door looking for Piper but she was already gone.

"Piper can stay with Jezebel and maybe learn some control Leo," Phoebe said and headed for the living room.

"What if Jezebel doesn't want to see her?" Prue asks.

Phoebe sat down on the couch and the thought never crossed her mind but now she was concerned that maybe Jezebel would not help. She looked out the window and could see the sign of morning as color was coming to the sky that replaced the darkness. "She will," Phoebe replied unsure.

"You need to find her again like you did when she was with Drake," Leo said and sat down next to her trying to keep himself calm.

"I could barely do it then her blood is not in my system anymore Leo, I'm sorry," she said and now started to feel real panic.

Leo stood up angrily and punched the wall," Fuck, I can't since her," he said through his teeth.

Piper was walking through the cemetery that she and Drake went to when she saved him from the loan sharks. She was in a daze as the realization that she almost killed one of her sisters was hitting her hard. She didn't even notice that the sun was coming up and if it wasn't for the smell of burnt flesh on her arm, she would still be in a daze. "I should just let go," she thought as she looked up at the sky. The pain was excruciating but her decision to live was gone.

"Piper find shelter," a voice said behind her.

She turned around and Penny was standing by a tombstone. "Grams?"

"This will pass find shelter now!" Grams said and faded away.

Piper snapped out of her suicidal thoughts and looked for the crypt that she and Drake shared. She made a run for it and was inside as the sun rose, but the holes in the roof were like small cigarette burns on her skin as she struggled with the concrete top. It was already opened from before but closing it was a huge problem. She screamed out caused by the strain of moving the massive object and the sun now hitting more of her body, she managed to seal herself in.
