Piper's Breakdown
It was around six o'clock in the evening, and Piper pulled up in the driveway. She turned off the car, and grabbed her black purse out of the back seat. She opened the door, and shivered as a cold blast of air hit her face, "It's cold…" She wrapped her coat tighter around her body, and proceeded to go inside the manor.
Piper's cold fingers fumbled for her keys in her purse. She found them, and quickly searched for the key to the front door. She placed the key inside the door, and it opened. What she didn't realize was that the door was already unlocked. She walked through the door and shivered. Piper briskly walked to the thermostat, and set it to 70°. That's when she noticed that all the windows were open. Piper gasped, and realized that somebody had been or was still in the manor. Piper quickly closed all the windows, and carefully searched the rest of the house, looking for evidence that somebody was still in the house.
Leo appeared in the manor right behind Piper. He smiled at her, wondering what she was doing, "Hi!" He said brightly. Out of reflex, Piper turned around and froze him. She gasped when she saw Leo's happy face, and quickly unfroze him. Leo blinked a few times, confused why Piper was facing him, "Oooo…You froze me!" Piper chuckled, and patted his shoulder, "You're lucky I didn't blow you up!" Leo looked a little confused, but Piper didn't notice how odd he was acting. Piper wringed her hands nervously; she was almost positive it was a human criminal that broke into the house, not a demon – it was just not their style to leave all the windows open in the house, and the door unlocked. Leo wrapped his arms around Piper's waist, and inhaled the perfume she had put on earlier that day. She let Leo hold her, and then jumped in surprise when she heard a creak on the old floorboards.
Piper quickly wriggled out of Leo's embrace, and then walked in the direction the sound came from. She fixed her gaze in a dark, shadowed corner, and almost thought she could see a pair of flashing eyes staring at her, watching her every move…waiting in the shadows…just waiting…
Leo's eyes flickered red as an evil grin spread across his face. He reached behind his back, and carefully took the knife out of his jean pocket. He quietly walked over to Piper, with one hand holding the knife still behind his back, and stood directly behind her. Leo grinned as he brought the knife in front of him, and raised it over his head, ready to strike Piper.
Piper could feel the air swiftly move behind her, and turned around just as her husband brought down the knife, preparing to attack Piper. She quickly put up her hands, and Leo froze. She looked into Leo's face, and realized his eyes were glowing red. Piper put her hand over her chest, trying to stop hyperventilating. She gasped as she stumbled backwards, too shocked to turn and run. "Leo" fought through the freeze and plunged the knife into – open air? "Leo's" eyes widened with shock, and then he slowly grinned. He turned to face piper, "Thought you could just freeze me and run?" He slowly advanced towards her and put a finger to his lips, "Shh…this won't hurt a bit."
