Die, My Darling, Die

The Changing

The next day Prue woke up really excited, anxiously waiting for night to fall. She didn't feel like that for a guy ever since her high school days. The way he talked, the way he looked at her, and even the way he said "Ms. Halliwell", Prue loved everything about him. She looked at the clock, and realized she was late to work.

Prue: Piper! Phoebe! I'm late, I gotta fly to work. Oh! And I'm having dinner with Hunter tonight, so I don't know when I'll be coming back. - said Prue rushing down th stairs

Phoebe: You mean, the guy from P3? - asked Phoebe coming out of the kitchen.

Piper: What guy from P3? - following her younger sibling.

Prue: A really cute one that I met yesterday. But I don't have time to talk to you right now, so I'll talk to you guys later, okay? Bye! - and then Prue closed the door behind her.

Piper: What guy from P3? - Piper asked Phoebe once again.

Phoebe: There was this really hot guy by the stage yesterday, and he couldn't keep his eyes away from Prue, so the two of them talked, and the rest of the story is what you've already heard, Prue's having dinner with him today.

Piper: You mean, Prue, our Prue? Prue, the pickiest person ever? It's not that I'm not happy for her, I am, but this is so weird coming from her, don't you think?

Phoebe: Yes, it is, but maybe she just realized that putting her responsabilities aside, every once in a while, ain't a bad idea, who knows?

Piper: I guess you're right... Well, let's just be happy for her, then. Right Pheebs?

Phoebe: Yeah, I mean, she deserves to, after so much she's done for us.

When Prue finally got to her office, half an hour late, she found Jack sitting in her chair, shooting her an annoying look.

Jack: It looks like somebody overslept last night! Prue, I'm telling you, you keep doing this and you are so gonna lose your job.

Prue: Thanks, but I really don't think I need advice from a person who works wearing boxers. - she said, looking directly into his eyes.

Jack: Okay, I'm not giving you anymore advices from now on, but don't ask to me feel sorry for you later. - said Jack, trying to cover his boxers.

Prue: I won't, believe me. Now, could you please get out of my office? And put some pants on? - said Prue, an angry look on her face.

Jack: Your office? I think it's more like our office, you know? And just for the record, I work wearing whatever I want to.

Prue: Fine, whatever.

After a long day of work, Prue realized she hadn't told Hunter he would have to pick her up at Buckland's, not at home. She decided to call him.

Hunter: Hello? - he sounded a little sleepy

Prue: Hunter? Hi, it's Prue! Listen, I just... Were you sleeping? I mean, at afternoon?

Hunter: Uhm... Actually, I was... I'm a security guard at this club, Color Crimson, ever heard of it?

Prue: No, I don't think so... But, anyway, I called you to say that you'll have to pick me up here at Buckland's, there's a lot of work to do, so I'm gonna be stuck here 'til evening

Hunter: I'll call you when I'm leaving and you tell me where it is, kay?

Prue: Call you later, then, bye.

Hunter: Bye.

A few hours later, Hunter called, asking her where Buckland's was. He picked her up and they headed to Color Crimson.

Prue: Hunter, no offense, really, but people around here look kinda strange.

Hunter: Don't worry, that's just unitl you get used to them, you know?

Prue: Well, I hope so... Are you still gonna work today?

Hunter: No, took the day off. Do you wanna dance?

Prue: I'd love to!

They started to dance at the sound of techno, but a few rock and pop songs were played, eventually. After half hour or so dancing, both decided to take a break. They sat at the bar and started talking. That's what they kept doing the whole night, and when Prue was about to tell Hunter she was leaving, the song "Mouth" started playing.

Prue: Love that song! You are so gonna dance this one with me!

Hunter: As if I had any objections... - he whispered into her ear.


You gave me this, made me give
Your silver grin still sticking it in
You have soul machine, soul machine


The longest kiss, peeling furniture days
Drift madly to you, pollute my heart drain
You have broken at me, broken me


All your mental armour drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth


Your loaded smiles, pretty just desserts
Wish it all for you so much it never hurts
You have soul machine, stone at me


All your mental armour drags me down
We can't breathe when you come around
All your mental armour drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth
Your mouth, mouth, mouth


We've been missing long before
Never found our way home
We've been missing long before
Where we'll find our way


You gave me this, made me give
You have soul machine, broken free


All your mental armour
All your mental armour and your mouth, mouth, mouth, ...


At the very last word of the song, they were so close that if you actually looked at them from a certain distance you would tell they were only one person. A fat one, but still, just one person. When they were going back to the bar, Prue spoke.

Prue: Hunter, it was really nice spendind the evening with you, but I think I'm gonna call it a night.

Hunter: Okay, I'm gonna pick the car.

Prue: And I'm gonna be waiting.

Hunter picked up the car and drove her home. When they got there, they started kissing. Prue pulled away, trying to catch her breath.

Prue: I've had so much fun today.

Hunter: I could say the same for me - leaning forward to kiss her again.

Prue: So, do you wanna come in?

Hunter: Your sisters won't mind?

Prue: Piper's at Dan's and Phoebe... I don't know where she is, but if she's home, I can guarantee that her sleep is just as heavy as a rock.

Hunter: Then I'd be pleased to make you company!

As soon as they got to her room, they started kissing, slowly at first and more passionate a few instants later. His lips started making their way to her neck. Prue had the impression that Hunter had whispered "Please forgive me", but she didn't have the time to imagine what he had meant, as a soft pain cut through her body, a pain that would be quickly subdued by pleasure. When the last drops of her life were taken from her body, she was just barely conscious to see Hunter biting his own lips and pressing them against hers. The last words she heard before her world turned black were "I love you".

So, what did you guys think? I think this one was a little better than Chapter 2 but I'd like to hear your opinion too. Oh, and that song, "Mouth", I really think it has a lot more to do with vampires than werewolves. I'm just saying this because when I first heard it, the song was in the movie "An American Werewolf in Paris", but it doesn't have to do with werewolves *at all*, but, hey, that's just my opinion!
