CORRUPTED
Chapter 7
-Underworld-
"Darklighter, I have a job for you. Hunt down Leo Wyatt, and kill him."
The Darklighter looked up in surprise.
"Is this a trick?"
"Does it seem like one?"
Pause. "Yes."
"Would you rather I get another Darklighter on this mission?" An energy ball appeared. Taunting the Darklighter.
"Consider it done."
"That's the kind of response I like to hear. Go. But remember, reveal my identity, and I'll give you a fate worse than death."
-Manor-
"Don't you think that Piper's been sort of... off?" Paige asked.
"What are you talking about?" Phoebe said, confused.
"Well, she's just not like Piper."
"You mean because of her demon rampage?"
"No... I mean... well, have you noticed how much she seems to avoid eye contact?"
"Well, maybe it's because she's still blaming herself, and doesn't want us to know."
"It seems more that just guilt. She seems to be hiding something." Paige speculated.
"You know what? Let's just talk to her. At least we'll have a direction to proceed from instead of acting according to our assumptions. We don't want to cause her anymore distress than necessary," Phoebe said.
"Fine," Paige replied, a tone of uncertainty in her voice.
-Underworld-
"Our population is diminishing faster than imaginable. We must stop her!"
"How? She's powerful. And did I forget to mention that she's also invincible?"
"I say we seek the help of the Charmed Ones."
"Are you kidding? They'll vanquish us the moment one of us sets foot in the manor."
"What choice do we have? Either way, we die. At least we'll have a better chance of survival if we seek aid."
-Manor-
"They're calling you again?" Piper asked.
"Yeah, sorry, honey. I've got to go."
"But we've finally got time to just sit around and relax. We haven't done that in ages."
"I know, and I love you Piper. But I don't have a choice."
"Fine. Go."
"Piper..."
"No, it's alright. We've been over this before. You have a job. I understand."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Leo. Go now."
"I love you, he whispered once more before orbing out.
"Finally. Got rid of him," Piper muttered. "Go."
A dark cloud formed as the Darklighter teleported out.
