Chapter 12
"Piper," Paige said quietly when she saw her sister.
"Are you here for good?" Phoebe asked.
"No," Piper said sadly. "At least not yet."
"You're in danger Piper. And you have to believe what we are going to tell you," Paige replied.
"Alright," Piper agreed.
"Monica is a demon named Monisara, and she is Kavinan's queen of the Underworld. And she is going to try to kill you soon. You need to warn the Elders," Phoebe informed her.
"I know. I had suspicions, but I couldn't accuse her yet," Piper replied.
"Okay.well now you can accuse her," Paige responded.
"I will. I need to go now," Piper said.
"Piper.please don't leave," Phoebe begged.
"I'll be back, I promise you. Blessed be," Piper responded. And with that, more gold lights and wind appeared, and she was gone.
The next morning, Paige could hardly keep her eyes open. She hadn't gotten much sleep after Piper had left.
"You look like a zombie Aunt Paige," Blake said, handing her a cup of coffee.
"I know," Paige replied.
"You didn't sleep either?" Phoebe whispered in her ear.
Cole and Leo walked into the kitchen then.
"Morning," Tori said. She was busy making breakfast. She had volunteered after she saw the state of her mom and aunt.
"Even though I look half asleep, I think it is a good time to propose my new plan," Phoebe said, standing up.
"What is it?" Melinda asked.
"I think Cole and Leo should move back into the manner again," Phoebe proposed. (Everyone knew that she and Cole were back together.)
"Really?" Leo asked.
"Yeah," Phoebe responded.
"I'm all for it," Cole said.
"Me too," Leo added.
"Great! The sooner the better!" Melinda exclaimed happily.
"Up There" things weren't nearly as joyous. Piper was mad once more. But she was afraid. She was about to confront Monica.
"It's now or never girl. And it needs to be now," she said to herself.
Piper flung open the doors to the room where the Elders sat and consulted with each other.
"Piper! What on earth?" Bridget exclaimed.
"Monica is Monisara," Piper spat out.
"Piper, you are being delusional again. Monica isn't a demon," Julian said.
Monica stood up. "She's right. I am Monisara."
Piper's heart leaped in her chest. She hadn't thought ahead about what to do after she confronted Monica.
An energy ball appeared in Monica's hand. "I've been waiting for this moment for fourteen long years. I waited to get your trust, and then when you least expected it, I would steal your powers."
Piper tried to blow the energy ball up, but it didn't work. Monica threw it at her, but Piper orbed out then reappeared again.
"I'll be back for all of you," Monica hissed. Then she orbed out.
"Piper," Elijah began.
"What?" Piper snapped.
"I think it's time we sent you back," Elijah replied.
Piper's face softened. "Are you serious?"
"Yes I am," he replied.
"How long can I stay?" Piper asked.
"As long as necessary," Joan replied.
"Alright," Piper said.
"Before you go, we need to discuss some things," Bridget said.
Piper nodded patiently, but inside she could barely contain her excitement. Fourteen years, and she was finally going home.
Back at the Halliwell manor, Leo and Cole had just finished moving in, with some help from the kids. They all flopped down on the couches, exhausted.
"I told you it would have been a lot easier if we had just orbed instead of walked up the stairs," Phoebe commented.
"Yes, it would have. But it would have so been,"- Melinda began.
Phoebe cut her off. "I know, I know. Personal gain."
"Dinner is ready!" Paige called from the kitchen.
They all got up again and went into the kitchen.
"That was good Aunt Paige," Tori said after dinner.
"Who's on dish duty tonight?" Wyatt asked.
"I'll do it," Phoebe volunteered.
Cole volunteered to help her, while the rest of them went into the living room. Phoebe and Cole went to the sink and began working.
"What do you think is going to happen to us?" Phoebe asked suddenly.
Cole turned to face her. "Phoebe, you are one of the strongest witches in the Wiccan world. And you have a beautiful spirit. I think you can beat Kavinan. You just need to have some faith."
Phoebe smiled at him. Then she leaned in and kissed him again. They stayed like that for a moment, and then they broke apart.
"You're a good man, Cole Turner," she said.
They continued to wash and dry. Suddenly wind began to blow through the kitchen. And when it stopped, Phoebe heard a voice.
"Hi," was all the voice said.
Phoebe and Cole spun around. Phoebe screamed, and dropped the plate she was holding.
And then the plate froze in mid-air.
"Piper," Paige said quietly when she saw her sister.
"Are you here for good?" Phoebe asked.
"No," Piper said sadly. "At least not yet."
