Change the Pattern-Part 4

(I've fast forwarded this to the next day when they are getting ready to fight the demon and I'm really sorry, I suck at spells so I didn't put any in. L)

"Are you sure you're ready to do this Piper?" asked Phoebe, spell in hand. The girls were in the living room ready to kick this demon's ass.

"Yeah," Piper sighed, "Do I have a choice?"

"Okay then let's summon him." Prue and Phoebe recite the same spell they used with Belthazor except with a few changed words. A blue swirl formulates in the living room and the table is knocked out of the way. Torment appears and Piper jumps back at the ugly sight.

He laughed at them. "Stupid witches, I know you have the spell!"

"What spell?" asked Piper pretending to be ignorant.

"The spell to vanquish me! That's why you summoned me!"

"Actually no, it isn't. I have a deal."

"Hah," Torment scoffed, "a deal? Let's hear it."

"If I give you my life can the baby live?"

"No, no, no, sorry!" He laughed again.

"PLEASE!!! I'm begging you! This baby needs to live!" Piper pleaded. Phoebe turned around and forced herself not to laugh. Piper really was a good actress.

"NO!" he roared. Prue jumped back. She had not expected him to be so loud. Leo orbed in and saw Piper talking to the demon looking very hurt. He didn't know of their plan and began running to her but Phoebe held him back. "Don't go. She knows what she's doing." Phoebe whispered.

Piper began crying.

"See if I had just taken you and your baby lived I would not have accomplished what I came here for. I want to kill both of you! Then there can be nothing more powerful than me!" Leo looked on in shock.

Pipers sobbed, "Fine, take me and my baby. Do it, quickly."

The demon grinned. "Gladly." He shot a green lightning bolt into her stomach and began sucking. Piper began chanting quietly and then louder, more franticly. "Nooooooo! You did know the spell! Damn Y….!" He never got a chance to finish. He was sent back where he came from, hell. Piper got up stumbling over the couch. That had taken a lot out of her. Prue and Phoebe attacked her with hugs. "I never knew you could act like that! You were great!" Phoebe said.

"I can do things like that when I'm about to die." Piper smiled and looked up at Leo who was grinning. She looked at her watch. "Crap! I need to be at the club. Uncle Kracker will be there any minute."

They all went to the club to greet Uncle Kracker.

-------Later that night-------

You don't know how you met me,

You don't know why,

You can't turn around and say goodbye,

All you know is when I'm with you I make you free,

And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea

"You did great tonight. I really thought you were serious." Leo said. Piper had found a chance to have a break and they were dancing. The club was really busy since Uncle Kracker was very popular.

"I did do a good job didn't I!" Piper smiled. This whole thing had been very traumatizing and now it was over. "I was really scared though. I kept wondering what would happen if he really took me up on my offer."

Leo nodded. "I was scared watching you, but it's okay now."

"The curse is finally broken. You're going to be a dad."

Leo lifted up her face so he could look into her deep brown eyes. "I know. I'm so excited. We did it, Piper."

Piper smiled. "I knew we would."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

I'm singing…

Follow me and everthing is alright,

I'll be the one to tuck you in at night,

And if you leave I can guarantee,

You won't find no body else like me.

Fin.
