Author's Notes: Thanks everyone for the reviews! It means a lot to me. Okay, here is the next chapter! I know it's short, but the next chapter is almost finished. Enjoy, and please remember to review! Thanks!
"Paige! Throw it now!" Piper gestured with her hands at the Dark Angel to freeze him, but her powers weren't working. "Uh-oh…" Piper gasped as the Dark Angel approached her. "Paige!" Piper screamed. As the Dark Angel was about to fling Piper, Paige threw the potion that the sisters had made an hour before. Piper sighed in relief as the Dark Angel blew up. Paige and Piper rushed to an unconscious Phoebe lying nearby. "Leo!" Piper screamed. Piper continued to call to Leo, but he didn't come. "Where is he?" Piper asked exasperated. Paige turned her head to look at Piper, but something nearby caught her eye. Paige slowly stood up and walked to the form lying on the dirty floor. Paige gasped and put a hand to her mouth. "Piper…" She squeaked. Piper slowly walked over to Paige, "What is it?" Paige pointed a shaky finger at the body of their whitelighter. "He's obviously not the Dark Angel, Piper. We killed Leo! He said this would happen!" Piper fell to her knees in a fit of grief. "No!" She screamed. Tears slid down her cheeks, "No! Not Leo! No! Bring him back! Leo!"
"…Piper… Piper…" Piper looked up to see Leo sitting next to her in bed. "Leo??" She asked relieved and surprised. "Yeah…? Piper, it was just a nightmare. You're fine…" Piper leaned against Leo's chest and breathed in his scent. She felt safe in his arms as Leo wrapped on arm around her and with the other hand, stroked her hair. He whispered gently into her ear, "Shh… it's me. I'm here. Everything's fine…" Piper cried for a few minutes and then whimpered, "I wish I could believe that…" Piper sank into a restless sleep in Leo's comforting arms.
*** Next morning
Piper groaned and slowly opened her eyes. She smiled as she slowly got out of bed, as to not wake Leo. Piper crept up to the attic and began flipping through the Book of Shadows for some answers. When Piper was halfway through the book, she looked up and her gaze met Leo's She smiled and then realized that Leo had only one arm. "Dammit! Paige! Phoebe! HELP!" She screamed. 'Leo' smiled and a mischievous grin spread across his face. He advanced on Piper, "Did you miss me?? I have come to claim my prize…" Piper whimpered as she realized her attempts to freeze him were futile. She looked down at her hands and then into the Dark Angel's face. 'Leo' smiled again and lunged forward. Piper tried to dodge out of his way, but she wasn't fast enough. He grabbed her leg, and shimmered to an underworld cave just as Paige burst through the attic door. "Piper?" She looked wildly around the musty room. "Dammit!!"
*** 2 days later (I will do flashbacks later)
Leo orbed into the attic, his arrival expected by an anxious Phoebe. Phoebe tapped her foot, "Well?" She curtly asked. Leo sighed in frustration, "She's not down there…. I think he blocked my senses, because I can't sense her. I know she's up here, on the surface, but I can't sense where." Phoebe began to pace the room, "Is she near us, in the city? Can you at least sense that?" Leo closed his eyes in deep concentration. Suddenly, his eyes popped wide open, "She's near us. Get the car… look for her." Phoebe nodded her head and quickly ran down the stairs. "Paige!" She screamed. "Let's go!"
