Chapter 3
AT P3
" Hey Paige, what time is it?" " 8:30pm. Why?" "Cause we left Piper a half hour ago and she hasn't shown up yet." "Well Pheebs, she might have gotten stuck in traffic or stuck at Darryl's. Don't worry she's fine." "Yeah but I have that feeling you know. That she's not OK. Can you orb us back to the house quickly before anyone finds out we have been here already?" "Yeah sure. Lets just go in the office to be safe."
Back at the Manor.
"PIPER.PIPER. Where the hell is she?" asked Phoebe. "Pheebs. Do you hear that?" " Here what..That's Piper!"
The two sisters rushed into Pipers room.
"Piper what's wrong?" asked Phoebe as she knocked on the door. No. Answer "Hey Piper. Come on talk to us." Pressed Paige. " Don't press her Paige." Phoebe whispered.
"Come in." " Hey sweetie what's wrong." Inquired Paige. " It's Leo. After he left he gave me peace, and it worked, until now. When Chris came today and told me Leo was missing, I cracked. And as Leo always said 'Our emotions trigger our power' I think the peace he gave me has left. And because of that I am finally grieving the way I should have. I guess I'm not as strong as I thought"
"That's where you're wrong Piper. You are strong. You are strong for me, Paige, Wyatt and yourself. We would not be here if it wasn't for you we probably would be. I don't know where we would be. But I do know that WE would not be where we are, if it weren't for you." "Well put Phoebe. Now come here and give your sisters a hug." Piper chuckled. " You guys will always make me laugh. I'm not much better now but (sigh) I will be."
"OK, so what about this party. It started like a half hour ago. Should we call and cancel?" asked Paige "Yes! I can't take being a hostess right now, and I want to." "AHEM! I think I would be the hostess since I OWN the club." Said Piper. "Well I just. I ... uh." "That's right Phoebe. And I agree with you. Now LET'S GO FIND LEO!" "Gung ho sistas!" Paige exclaimed.
"Wakey wakey Whitelighter!"
Leo strained to get up. Thoughts ran though his mind. ~ I failed everything. I failed being an Elder, a Whitelighter, trusting my instinct about Chris. I failed most of all being a father and a husband. Oh Piper will you ever take me back! ~
The three men outside the cell were confused. Instead of yells and pleas for help. Their prisoner was crying.
"Guys do you think he is actually telling the truth about taking this 'Whitelighter' for Chris?" asked Fred. "Stop questioning our work. No wonder your on this plain. How many times did you question the Source?" questioned Alex. " Once or twice.. ok maybe one to many but that's not the point." " Yes it is the point. WE got sent here to look after you. This plain is to keep the unloyal people to the Source. And we are here to make sure no one escapes!" yelled Tank. "So all this time I have been planning to kill the 'Charmed Ones' to get out of here all I had to do was get the information out of you!" asked Fred "Not exactly. See Alex and my jobs are to help you be useful to the Source by helping you think that if you kill the 'Charmed Ones' you will be out of here."
Leo heard the conversation outside of his door and was confused. ~Don't they know the Source is dead.~ thought Leo. ~ Maybe there is a new Source. I should ask~
Leo knocked on the door.
"Hey aaah Demon/Warlock guys?" Leo yelled through the door.
Tank opened the door.
"What do you want now Whitelighter."
"Well I have two things to tell you. One if you haven't noticed I am an Elder so you are in more trouble than you thought. And two the Source is dead. Just so you know."
"Your bluffing, the Source can't be dead. If he was, his kid would take the throne." Told Tank.
"Honestly how long have you guys been down here, or corresponded with the Source. He has been dead for a while now."
"I guess that's why he hasn't been answering my calls." Tank said. "Do you guys want to kill Chris or just take him back here." Asked Leo
"Kill him. But why do you want to know." Questioned Alex
" Because the only way you can kill him now is with the arrow of a Darklighter."
"SHIT. I forgot about that Whitelighter stuff." Said Tank.
"If you let me out of here and let me talk to the 'Charmed Ones' I can help you kill Chris if you would like." Suggested Leo
" He is lying! He just wants to get out of here." Said Fred.
" I am on the good side so we usually don't lie and have any tricks up our sleeves, and I know for a fact that the 'Charmed Ones' have a Darklighter arrow stored somewhere for emergencies." Told Leo.
" Ok fine." Agreed Tank "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!! Making deals with an Elder! Are you mad?!!!" Fred asked "No, but I do know that Elders can't lie. It is not in their nature."
Leo was happy. He didn't exactly lie to them, but he didn't really tell the truth either.
