"Phoebe wait! I don't understand?" Piper exclaimed grapping onto her.
Faded images went threw Piper's head.
Piper saw herself reading a letter.
Dear Piper,
I can't stand it here anymore I can't stay if Prue hates me. I should be
telling you in person but its just to hard.
Don't worry you can call me anytime. I looooove you hopefully we can see
each other soon.
Love
Pheebs
A tear dropped from Piper fell onto the note. Suddenly the scene changed.
This time just Phoebe was in the attic.
She sat on a chest with a book in her lap.
Hear now the words of the witches.
The secrets we hid in the night.
The oldest of gods are invoked here.
The great work of magic is sought.
In the night, and in this hour.
I call upon the ancient power.
Bring your powers to we sisters three.
We want the power.
Give us the power.*
"Would you let go off me?" Phoebe hissed bringing Piper out of it. Piper
being surprised lessoned her grip on
Phoebe. She whipped her arm away and stared at it. Piper had clawed her
and broke the skin. Phoebe cursed
under her breath looking at it.
"I'm sorry." Piper whispered. She didn't even know she had been holding on
to her never mind hurting her.
Phoebe just grumbled and walked away. Piper felt her heart break right
there. She didn't know what or how but
something was missing from her life. And she was pretty sure it had
something to do with Phoebe.
Mel sighed as she looked over all the paper work on 'her'
desk.
"Ugh how can Leo like this chick all she seems to do is work? Geesh being
Piper isn't going to be as fun as I
thought it would be." Mel sighed. Suddenly Leo orbed in surprising Mel.
Hmmm I better watch what I say Mel
thought.
"I missed you." Mel stated jumping into his arms.
"Piper it hasn't been that long." Leo laughed taking in her embrace.
Something felt different but Leo didn't know
what. After a few minutes he dismissed the
feeling.
"Lets go home." Mel smiled devishly. Leo looked at her almost
shocked.
"Is this the Piper I have known and loved forever? You leave the club on a
Friday the busiest night of the week."
Leo replied jokily. Mel almost died when she heard it. It may have been
meant as a joke but he didn't know how
close to the truth he was. "Are you ok sweetie?" Leo asked concerned. Mel
nodded feeling the color return to
her face. She was going to have to do a better acting job. "Well then lets
go home it's rare that I get to spend a
night to myself with you on a Friday." Leo took her hand and they headed
for the parking lot.
Leo drove home with the insistence of Mel. He found it strange she never
asked him to drive after all he hadn't
drove in a while.
"Piper are you sure. I haven't driven in like 50 years." Leo stated
looking at the car nervously. Mel almost choked
!ALMOST 50 YEARS! She thought. How the hell old is
he?
"Umm I'm sure you'll do fine." She got into the passenger side. Leo stared
at the car for serial minutes. He finally
got in to the car and started it up.
"At least I remember how to start a car." Leo muttered to himself. After a
few minutes of driving it all come back to him.
"So I thought maybe we could take a vacation or something just the two of
us." Mel suggested.
"I would love to but what about work? And the power of three?" Leo
questioned. She sure has been acting
differently lately.
"Oh screw that I just wanna be with you." Mel replied not even caring what
the heck the power of three was. Leo
was a little taken back by the comment.
"Piper…." Leo started. Suddenly a young women walked out into the middle
of the road. "PIPER FREEZE
HER!" Leo shouted the moment he saw her. Mel just looked confused. Leo
maneuvered the car off the road to
avoid hitting her. Instead of the women the jeep collided with a parked
car.
Piper looked at the car that had smashed into a parked car. How did she
get in the middle of the road she
wondered? She had just been walking around aimlessly trying to figure out
what had happened to her. An intense
pain went all threw her body. Something was wrong very
wrong.
Ok I'm confusing the hell out of myself with this piper is Mel and Mel is
piper ahhh lol. So Piper is now known as
PiperM and Mel MelP lol confused I know I am.
PiperM's head throbbed harder. Pains filled her all over the place. Her
eyes blurred and she found the world
spinning around. She tried to keep herself up but the pain become so
unbearable. Her legs turned to jelly as she
fell to the ground.
A woman saw PiperM fall to the ground. She had seen the whole accident and
immediately called 911. She
quickly ran over to the fallen girl and brought her out of the road. The
girl had already caused one accident
another was not needed. The woman didn't know any medical stuff to help
the three of them so all she could do
was wait.
PiperM opened her eyes to find herself in a hospital room. The pain had
lessoned but was still there.
"Ahhh Miss. Stanton your awake." A man greeted coming in. PiperM stared at
him in confusion was that her last
name. "How are you feeling?"
"Ummm ok I don't really remember much of what happen though." PiperM
replied.
"That's understandable you hit your head hard falling to the ground. We're
still no sure why you fainted maybe the
shock of the car accident." The doctor informed her. Little by little
everything that happened that day was coming
back to her.
"Oh my god! Are those people ok?" PiperM asked scared. She didn't want to
be the cause of two peoples death.
"We'll know more later. Don't worry yourself just worry about getting
yourself better. Now I have to go check
on some stuff. Is there any family you want me to call?" The doctor asked
headed towards the door. PiperM was
dumbfounded to the question. She didn't even know if she had any family.
When she didn't answer the doctor
took it as a no and left.
PiperM felt tears trickle down her cheeks. She was all alone in this
world. No one to love or care about. What
did she do to deserve such a lonely and painful life? Where was her
family? PiperM buried her head in her hands
in frustration. Why couldn't she remember? There was something so
important missing but why couldn't she
remember?
Prue and Phoebe sat next to their sister lying in the hospital. She was so
pale and deadly looking. Phoebe let tears
fall freely. She had had a premonition earlier of this happening. She had
seen MelP in the middle of the road and
Leo swerve. Then them colliding with the tree. She blamed herself after
all she was the one who brought Mel into
their lives.
"I should have been able to save them." Phoebe muttered wishing she had
had it before it had happened.
"Shhh don't say that you couldn't stop it." Prue replied over hearing
herself.
"You should practice what you preach." Phoebe said smiling weakly. She
knew that Prue was blaming herself.
"She'll pull threw Phoebe. Piper's a fighter plus she has to many things
going for her here." Prue said softly.
"I hope so."
"Hunny I'm going to go see how Leo's doing and get the doctor to tell us
more." Prue announced getting up.
"Alright." Phoebe replied not looking up. All she could do was stare at
her sister.
Prue walked outside not being able to stand it any more. It was her fault
she should have stopped it. After a few
minutes Prue pulled herself together and went to see
Leo.
Prue sat down next to Leo. He like MelP had not awakened yet. Prue didn't
even know if they would. Suddenly
Prue heard a groaning noise. Leo stried and slowly opened his
eyes.
"Leo your awake!" Prue exclaimed.
"Prue….. what happened?" Leo asked intense pain ran threw his
body.
"You guys had an accident." Prue informed him. Leo's heart started to race
as he remembered what happened.
"Oh god is Piper ok and what about that woman?" Leo
questioned.
"Piper hasn't awakened and I don't know about the girl." Prue
answered.
"Oh god I have to see her." Leo exclaimed trying to get
up.
"Leo you can't not now Phoebe is with her." Prue replied. Leo sighed he
wanted to see his Piper. He didn't know
what he would do if something happened to her. Suddenly the door opened
and the doctor entered.
"He just woke up." Prue informed him. He nodded and ran some
tests.
"Well it seems that you are going to be fine besides a few broken bones. I
am going to keep you here for a few
days to make sure nothing goes wrong." The doctor told
them.
"Thank god." Prue sighed now all they had to do was get Piper
back.
"Page me if you need me." The doctor then left.
Days went by and Leo got better. They where making him stay in the
hospital for a few more days even though he
was fine. Whitelighters recovered from accidents faster than normal
mortals. Although it didn't matter if he was
released he spent his time with Piper. Leo stared down at his
'love'.
"Something's not right." Leo stated tracing the lines of her face. He
never realized how she looked nothing like her
sisters. Leo sighed in frustration what was wrong? "I should be sadder
than I am." Leo muttered not being able to
lie to himself. He was sad but not going crazy like he would expect. "I
should be she's my soul mate ugh I love her
for god sakes!" Leo exclaimed trying to convince himself. After getting no
answers, which he knew, would
happen Leo decided to go get a drink.
He walked down the cafeteria. As he entered the room he collided into
something.
"Oh god I'm sorry." Leo said to the woman in front of her. Leo gasped at
her beauty. She had long slickly brown
hair that lined to her shoulders. Her eyes a dazzling brown that seemed to
reach into the soul. She was much
smaller than MelP but her beautiful succeeded MelP a hundred
times.
PiperM stared at the man in front of her. He was increabile gorgeous and
not only that she felt like she knew him.
Every detail seemed so familiar, like his green piercing eyes, or his
brownish blonde hair.
Both of them couldn't seem to find their voices. They stared at each other
taking in every detail of the others
body. After they where finally finished taking in everything they locked
eyes. They both seemed to see the others
soul knowing they we're meant for each other. Leo moved closer to her
finally being able to move. PiperM
wrapped her arms around him. They moved as close as they could to each
other. Leo covered her mouth with his.
They kissed passionately exploring each other. Leo's mind was shouting at
him to stop. He was in love with Piper
his soul mate, this is wrong. But his heart told him no this is your soul
mate go to her. How can something so right
be wrong?
Leo and PiperM pulled slowly pulled away. Each gazing in the others eyes.
Leo couldn't explain it but he felt that
he had known her forever.
*How can you do this to Piper she gave up everything for you!* His mind
screamed to him. Leo pulled away
from this new girl. He couldn't give up everything for her no Piper was
his soul mate.
"I'm sorry." He muttered as he rushed the other way. PiperM was so shocked
by this new sensation that she
didn't even reacted. As Leo was just about out of her sight range she
started running after him.
"Wait! Please!……………….. Leo!" PiperM threw up her hands in panic. To her
surprise everything froze. She
looked around the room trying to figure out what happened. Suddenly
everything unfroze and Leo walked away.
Piper didn't know what to think what had happened there? Was it some weird
affect from the medicine she was
taking? Or was she just crazy?
PiperM was about to start walking back to her room. Suddenly she felt a
tight grip around her wrist.
"How the hell did you do that!?!?!" Someone yelled from behind her. PiperM
turned around to be faced with a
woman. She looked similar to herself although a little
older.
"Prue?!?" PiperM questioned as the word flowed off her
tong.
"How do you know my name?" Prue asked angrily she was thinking this girl
had something to do with MelP not
waking up.
"I I don't know?" PiperM replied. Suddenly she stiffened up seeing more
images.
Herself and Phoebe where holding onto a young teenagers body. PiperM
recognized it as the Prue. She was
younger but the same details shined threw. Phoebe and Piper cried
uncontrollable over her body. The sadness
was evident they had lost their big sister that
day.
More pictures fluttered threw PiperM's head. Things that seemed so
familiar to her. Leo getting hit with and
arrow, Phoebe being burned at the stake, herself almost dying of some
disease. She opened her eyes
remembering so much more.
"STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY!" Prue yelled as she walked away. Piper stood
there trying to register
everything.
"Leo, Leo, Prue, Prue, Phoebe, Phoebe they all mean something to me. Good
friends of mine maybe?" PiperM
thought. "No they are more than that way more. Prue Prue Prue she's my
sister. Yes Prue, Phoebe, and I sisters
the power of three!" PiperM exclaimed as everything came back to her. "Leo
my soul mate yes I remember now
everything."
Leo sat in front of MelP. He couldn't help but think if she never woke up
maybe he could be with that girl. Leo
quickly banished the thought what was wrong with
him?
"Leo." MeP muttered. Leo hadn't even noticed she had awakened being to
deep in thought.
"Piper thank god your awake." Leo sighed. He kissed her on the cheek and
she smiled back at him. It's so nice
to have someone waiting for you Mel thought.
"Hmmm I missed you." She replied. MelP leaned forward and they
kissed.
The real Piper flung into the room. She threw her hands up freezing Leo
and Mel in that pose.
"Errrrrrr I should really kill this girl. She thought she could usually
replace me." Piper muttered in disgust. She then
unfroze the two standing in front of them with a displeasing look on her
face.
Leo jumped up in surprise to see the woman from the cafeteria appear
there. Mel looked at her nervously.
"Excuse me what are you doing here?" Mel asked getting back her cool. This
isn't a problem she kept telling
herself.
"Oh
I've just come back to reclaim my life." Piper
replied.
"I I don't know what you're talking about? Who who are you?" Mel
stuttered. Leo looked on in confusion.
"Oh forgot about me already. Yeah well I would be the real Piper. Yeah
that's right the one you stole her life
from." Piper explained.
"Your insane I'm the real Piper!" Mel yelled.
"I am!" Piper yelled back.
"No I am!" The yelling continued on and on until Leo couldn't take it
anymore.
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" Leo exclaimed knowing this fighting wouldn't get
them anywhere. Both girls
immediately fell silent hearing Leo's voice.
"Leo you have to believe me I'm your Piper." Piper
pleaded.
"No she's lying Leo you know I am." Mel cut in.
"Go ahead ask me anything about me." Piper said knowing she would win this
contest. Leo thought hard could his
mind being playing ticks on him.
"Ok what happened when you and your sisters went into the future?" Leo
questioned both the girls.
"Ummm wait I know this." Mel muttered trying to think of
something.
"Phoebe was burned at the stake while Leo and I where divorced." Piper
answered.
"We got divorced?" Leo questioned.
"Leo!!!" Piper yelled realizing she had never told him what happened.
"Screw this." She muttered pulling him into
her arms. She brought his head down to hers and they kissed passionately.
All the loneliness left Piper as the kiss
got deeper. They where totally engulfed in each other. Leo brought his
hands to her hair as she wrapped him
closer to her. Images flew threw Leo's head the real memories came
back.
Mel looked on in fiery how could she be defeated like that? And not only
that they where just kissing each other
like she wasn't even there. Suddenly Phoebe and Prue burst into the
room.
"Leo this isn't the real……." Prue started but stopped when she saw Piper
and Leo.
"Hehehe looks like he figured it out." Phoebe stated. She had had a
premonition of the spell Mel had done. Then
slowly everything had come back to both sisters.
"Hmmmm I missed you." Piper commented, as they pulled apart. "I'm finally
home again."
"I'm sorry I didn't know it was you." Leo apologized he should have known
right away.
"It wasn't your fault I didn't even know who I was. I'm just glad we both
remember now." Piper answered
running her hands threw his hair. It had been so long since she had played
with his hair. Since she had just been in
his embrace.
"Leo don't do this! If you do I'll never go back to you. You know I'm
better for you!" Mel screamed.
"Mel get a pill of reality Leo never wanted you and never will." Phoebe
replied rolling her eyes. Piper, Leo, Prue,
and Phoebe left a screaming Mel. Everything was now back to normal. The
way things should be.
A few weeks went by and Piper and Leo had gotten things back to normal.
Everything was perfect no demons
had attacked and Mel hadn't shown her face to them at all. Piper had this
uneasy feeling of guilt though. She had
lived part of Mel's life and all she felt was loneliness. It was one of
the worst experiences she had had. And Mel's
life was probably like that everyday. Piper knew she wouldn't be able to
go on if she didn't try to help.
One night while Leo was off whitelightering and her sister where shopping
Piper found herself in front of Mel's
dorm. She actually hadn't planned on coming here. She had just taken a
walk and this is where he legs brought her.
"I'm here for a reason." Piper commented feeling confidence rise up in
her. She was going to help Mel she knew
it. Piper walked slowly in the building tell she found herself in front of
the Mel's dorm room. She knocked on the
door and waited for a reply. After serial minutes Mel finally came to the
door.
"What do you want?" She asked shocked to see Piper standing
there.
"Can I talk to you inside?" Piper questioned. Mel got out of the doorway.
Piper took this as a yes and stepped
inside. Her room was dark and you wouldn't be able to see if it weren't
for the many candles around. Piper
noticed a circle of candles with a book in the
middle.
"Start talking." Mel stated.
"Well I lived as you for a little while. When I was you I was all alone no
one to turn to. And I realized that that's
how you probably are all the time. It's awful to not have anybody to turn
to." Piper explained.
"Yeah well you took the one person I wanted." Mel muttered. Anger building
inside her.
"Mel I know deep down you're a good person. There is someone out their for
everyone. I know you'll find the
one person who completes you. I just wanted to tell you if you ever need a
friend I'll be here." Piper said softly.
"Thanks for the offer but I think I'll pass." Mel replied disgusted. What
is with this girl? After what I did to her she
still wants to be my friend Mel thought. She suddenly became more anger
and looked towards her book. She had
been searching for a good spell to kill Piper before she had come to her.
"Oh well this will work just as well." Mel
muttered. Mel pulled out a gun from her pocket and aimed it at
Piper.
Piper felt a rush of fear go threw her.
"Mel please don't do this." Piper pleading moving towards the
door.
"If I cant have him than neither can you." Mel put pressure on the
trigger. Piper closed her eyes forgetting she was
a witch. The bullet flew towards her. She collapses in pain as it ripped
threw her flesh. Mel just smiled and walked
out of the room leaving Piper alone on the floor.
Meanwhile Leo was trying to do his work. Intense pains kept going threw
his stomach.
"Something's wrong with Piper." He realized as another pain shot threw
him. He quickly orbed out letting his mind
lead him to her.
A few seconds later Leo orbed into Mel's room. Their he saw his love on
the floor. "Piper!" He exclaimed
running to her. He picked her limp body up in his arms. She had already
lost a lot of blood Leo could see that.
"Come on Piper don't do this to me."
Piper opened her eyes feeling Leo's sweet embrace.
"I….. love … you." She whispered taking his hand into hers. Tears flooded
his cheeks he knew he was loosing her.
"I wont let you go." He replied placing his hands over her. After a few
seconds nothing happened.
"Its……. not meant……….. to be Leo. I'll always……… love you…… always." Piper
said squeezing his hand lightly.
"No no no Piper I need you. Piper no please. I love you" Leo sobbed as her
breaths swallowed.
"I'm sorry." She whispered taking her last breath. Leo held onto her
tightly sobbing uncontrollable.
"I'll never let go." He cried, "Never."
