Author's Notes: Thank you so much for your reviews… I really appreciate them! Here is what everyone's been waiting for… THE LAST CHAPTER!
The Dark Angel stared at the girls, with a look of promised doom on his face.
"You know, I have been waiting for this day for a very long time…"
He glanced at Piper. "Isn't that right, Piper?"
After a brief shudder from Piper, the Dark Angel continued. "The first day I laid eyes on you, the first day I touched you, the first day – "
He was cut off by Phoebe's angry cry, "God dammit! Enough already, you damn bastard!" Phoebe wanted to say more colorful words, but stopped.
She put herself into a fighting stance between her sisters, and took a step toward the animal that had made her life and her sister's lives a living hell.
The Dark Angel sneered, "Oh, you had enough, have you? Want to fight me, do you? Well, then – "
Phoebe again cut him off, but this time with a roundhouse kick right in the stomach.
'Leo' groaned and fell to his knees, obviously in pain.
Phoebe walked up to his crumpled form and kicked him hard in the stomach several times. With each kick, a groan escaped his now bloody lips.
Phoebe moved her leg to kick him again, and then heard footsteps behind her.
"Phoebe…" Came Paige's voice as she laid her hand on Phoebe's trembling shoulder.
Phoebe was now crying; crying for the pain her sister had to endure, and crying for the possible outcome of the battle.
In a whispered gurgle, the Dark Angel said, "Oh, poor, poor, poor, little witchy lost her way? Awww…" 'Leo' feigned sympathy.
Phoebe wiped away her tears and angrily stared at him. She kicked him once again and angrily spat out, "You sick, twisted bastard! DAMN YOU!"
At her last words, Phoebe swung her leg back, and smashed her foot into his face.
A look of terror and agony spread over him. Blood poured from his broken and smashed lips.
Piper suddenly gripped and squeezed Phoebe's shoulder and urgently half begged, "We have to go see if Leo's alright. Please…"
Phoebe looked at the ground for a few minutes, and then mumbled a reply, "I know."
Seeing how preoccupied the girls were, the Dark Angel struggled to get on his feet.
Phoebe kicked 'Leo' without even looking at him, and he fell to the ground in a heap, finally unconscious.
Piper looked at Paige with pleading eyes, "Will you please go check on him? Please?"
Paige put her hand on Piper's shoulder, and quietly replied, "Of course. I'll be right back. Watch your backs."
Paige disappeared in a bluish light, trying to get to Leo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Piper and Phoebe took turns kicking the unconscious dark angel at any time they 'saw' him stir.
About 5 minutes after Paige's disappearance, she returned with someone limply hanging onto her.
"NO!" Screamed Piper as she fell to the ground on her knees. "N-NO!" Piper's anguished cries strangely echoed around the eerie surroundings.
Piper rocked on her heels as Phoebe rushed to comfort her.
"Honey, shhh… We don't have to kill him, we can keep him prisoner somewhere, and Leo will be safe."
Phoebe hugged Piper reassuringly as Paige gently lowered Leo to the ground and tried to make him as comfortable as possible.
Paige called softly to Piper, "Maybe you could switch powers, and be able to heal him…"
Piper cried even louder, "It won't work… Leo's power can't heal the dead."
Her sobs became a mask of confusion, for the echoes of the environment grew louder and louder with each passing second.
Phoebe covered her ears, "Please, Piper, he won't die, I promise."
Piper looked down at the ground and after a few minutes, firmly said, "We have to do what's right…"
Under her breath, Piper whispered, "I'm sorry, Leo."
Piper quickly stood up and before her sister's could stop her, she raised her hands at the Dark Angel, and he blew up.
Piper quickly turned her head to where Leo was lying on the ground, and a moan escaped his lips before he, too, blew up.
Although Paige was the closest and couldn't make out what Leo said, Piper somehow knew that Leo's last words were of love to her, and forgiveness.
Piper fell to the ground in a dead faint as she realized she just killed her one true love.
Author's Notes: *Definitely hiding in a corner, under a desk* I HAD to end it this way, and I know most of you are astounded at how I could be so mean. Since you guys are such a nice group, I will write a different ending if you want me to. In your review, just tell me that you want a happier ending and I would be more than happy to write a different one. I just thought that this would make a good ending, a nice crier.
