CORRUPTED
Note: YES! Finally. School is done for! Until september... but that's still over two months away! Whew. I hate exams. They are torture tools! Just kidding. Yeah, they're helpful, review the whole year's crap and all. But doesn't mean I like them! Okay, enough with the exam rants. Thanks to all those who reviewed, and I will try my best to update sooner.
Chapter 10
-Manor-
"We shouldn't have left her behind," Phoebe mumbled worriedly.
Paige nodded in agreement. Her mind, wandering... about Piper's actions. 'Maybe she really was just upset over that demon rage thing... why else would she have saved me like that?'
"We should go back..." Paige suggested.
Phoebe looked relieved and eagerly agreed. 'Hang in there, Piper.'
The two of them found Piper cradling Leo's cold and stiff body, with tears streaking down her cheeks.
"He's gone..." she sobbed out. "Gone..."
"Piper," Phoebe began, but lost her voice as well.
Meanwhile, Paige was eyeing Piper suspiciously. 'I thought that she was shot by a darklighter...' But quickly, she berated herself for doubting her sister. 'She just saved your life! Hasn't she proved herself? Besides, her husband is dead. She's breaking up, and here, you're accusing her of being evil??? But why then, do I feel like something's wrong?'
Phoebe managed to get her voice back, and gently placed a hand on Piper's shoulder. "Come on, Piper, let's go home."
"No!" Piper cried hugging Leo's corpse tighter.
"Piper... he's gone, sweetie. Please, let's go home."
"Leo..."
Phoebe soothingly embraced her distraught sister. Piper grabbed onto Phoebe securely, sobbing into her younger sister's shoulder. "Phoebe... he... he saved me... was dying... he, he used his healing powers to save me... he's dead, Phoebe! He's dead! Too weak... to sustain his... his own life... Phoebe... Leo... he's dead!" Piper rambled on.
Phoebe whispered all sorts of comforting things to Piper, trying to relieve her of her sorrow for such a grave loss. Tenderly, she stroked Piper's soft brown hair, and held onto her distressed sister's fragile form. 'She always was the fragile one in the family... god, how is she going to survive this. I don't know if she can take anymore losses... our whole life, nothing but loss. How she wished to take all of her sister's pain away... Piper always managed to ease her pain... All the time. When they were younger, she would always go to Piper to alleviate her frustration, her sadness. And Piper, she would always listen. And at the right times, she would give great advices - and they usually worked too. She remembered the times when Piper would stay up all night, comforting her in a way only Piper could.
Quietly, Phoebe signalled for Paige to orb them back to the manor.
