Chapter 2 "Worth Of My Trust"
Meanwhile Piper went outside with Prue.
"This is a weird neighborhood and certainly a very strange place ... What are they? you know, that girl and the two guys, they aren't human, that's for sure"
Then a man stepped out from the shadows. It was Frank, the human cop who had been waiting to catch some information about Julian Luna. Frank walked towards Piper and said "You shouldn't be here, it's dangerous. I thought you said the people inside aren't human so I think you already meet my friends"
"Who are you?" asked Piper scared, she hadn't seen him arrive "Are you like them?"
"Me? no, never!" he said in a rude tone. Then he slowed it down "They're not like us. They're night creatures. This isn't a place for girls like you"
"Night creatures? Like in vampires?" asked Piper looking nervous, she had never seen one with her own eyes "I've seen worst things that vampires and I've been able to handle them, but ... I do think it is a good idea to get out of here. May I ask who you are and why you are so concerned about us?"
Frank stretched out his hand and said "I'm sorry. I'm Detective Frank Kohanek" then he looked at her and added hopefully "You believe in vampires???"
"I believe in everything, from vampires to demons. I think that the only thing I am starting to doubt about is true love" said Piper sighing "Sorry about that... Nice to meet you" she stretched her
hand "My name is Piper ... Piper Halliwell and this is my sister Prue"
Frank showed a shy smile because of Piper's comment about true love, then he said "Well miss Halliwell this is not a place for you, it's better if you go now... uh, maybe you would like to pass by the station and tell me what exactly did you see in there" he handed her a card "It's been a pleasure to meet you" he looked at Prue "and you"
Prue smiled at Frank "I'm sure she'll! We better go now!" she took Piper's arm and said "I don't have much time, I mean the astral... I have to get you out of here, lets go to the manor and see what Phoebe and Leo found out!" She leaded Piper to a main street "We need to find you a cab!"
Piper stopped a cab to go home.
"Prue, you go back to the manor, I'll arrive in 10 ok?" Piper got into the cab and headed home. When she arrived, she opened the door and saw Prue, Phoebe and Leo "Did you find anything?" she asked
Leo hugged Piper "I'm so glad you are ok, we were worried sick here" he pointed to the sky and added "What 'they' told me is that you were chasing a vampire. San Francisco is full of them"
"I was very scared, Leo ..." Piper looked at him and felt happy to see him, she missed him "Are we supposed to get rid of the vampires or is that Buffy's job?"
Leo laughed at Piper's comment "Honey, you watched too much tv. Nobody is supposed to get rid of vampires, they have always existed and they will always be around us"
Piper looked at her watch "Oh no, it's so late. I should've been at P3 2 hours ago. Today is the big concert and nothing is ready" Piper began getting very nervous, she kissed Phoebe and Prue on the cheek and then kissed Leo's lips "Don't arrive too late, ok? The show starts at 8" then she left.
Prue saw Piper leaving to P3, and turned to Leo "So Leo, those vampires, they're out there drinking innocents blood and we know that, but still we're supposed to pretend we don't? They could have killed Piper today!"
Leo looked at her and answered "I wouldn't let them harm Piper or any one of you for that matter, but we can't do anything, there are millions of vampires in San Francisco and in the rest of the world. They're stronger than you, Prue, and if you go messing up with them, they'll start looking for a fight with you.. I've gotta go 'they' are calling me" and he orbed.
Prue was not comfortable about the vampires, knowing they're killing innocents she decided to go check on her sister at her club.
*Simultaneously at Julian's house*
"I don't think he knows anything at all. He was just a hunger kindred looking for a haven" said Cameron
Julian cleared his throat "Is this the work of a witch?" he asked "I haven't seen one in this part of the city since 1980"
"You knew about this. How many supernatural magic things exist that I am not aware of?" asked Lillie upset.
"I think the most important thing to do now is to protect the masquerade. We have to assure that witch doesn't say anything about us" said Cameron firmly to the Prince.
Julian did not trust in Cameron's sudden notion of conscience but he knew he was right "I agree. I'll tell Cash to visit that witch. And Lillie... I want to talk to you if you have the time. I'll see you at night" He left them with a warning look at Cameron.
In the P3 Piper was trying to calm herself.
"Ok, everything is alright, Piper. You have 8 hours to get everything ready" she said to herself
With Frank's information about Piper, Cash could easily find the club called P3. He entered and looked for the owner, after a bartender told him where was Piper he walked towards her and said "Hi, are you Piper Halliwell?"
"Yes, who wants to know?" asked Piper looking at him, he looked like a nice guy "Are you here with the group?"
"No, my name's Cash and uh... I want to talk to you about the incident in a club called the Haven this morning" Cash didn't think that this girl could represent a danger for the masquerade, but he had to be sure.
"Oh, are you a cop?" asked Piper, he didn't look like one.
"No. What did you see when you got into the Haven? look I don't want to be rude but this is important for us" he looked at her deeply, he didn't want to hypnotize her... yet.
"I didn't see anything, it was too dark. There were three persons there and I was looking for a ... a friend, but I couldn't find him, so I left" explained Piper trying to sound as confident as possible.
Cash knew for sure she was lying, Julian had explained to him the whole story "Look, I'm not a cop but I do need to know if you saw something"
He didn't want to hypnotize her because she'll fall asleep for at least 3 hours so he decided to go straight to the point "I know you're a witch. Here's the deal: I don't expose your secret and you don't tell anything about what you saw at the Haven" his eyes were looking at her more directly and deeper as if he was getting inside her soul.
"You are one of them, aren't you?" asked Piper looking at him, she tried to look down, but she couldn't "I'm not afraid of you, I've also made some research about you and I won't tell anyone what I know, I just want to make sure we are safe around you"
Cash knew this was a smart witch "We have coexisted since the ancient times" he turned his back "there's nothing to be worried, I'm just trying to protect the ones I care... just like you do"
Piper smiled "There's daylight now, how are you going to go back?" asked Piper not sure if she was being silly.
Cash smiled too and said "We can stay at the sun light one day after feeding" he looked back to Piper and said "I think I must go... we also have rules, if you have troubles with one of 'my kind' just let me know" he gave her a card with the address of 'The Haven' "If I'm not there you can talk to the owner Lillie Langtry"
"Thank you very much" said Piper smiling.
She thought that guy was nice, but she couldn't take the chance of inviting him back to the club. "Hmm, good luck" Piper walked away.
"Yeah, I need it" said Cash, then he disappeared.
After Cash left, Piper continued getting ready for that night's concert, but she couldn't stop thinking about the vampires. When she was looking for a tissue in her bag, Frank's card dropped to the floor.
"Inspector Kohanec? Oh, what would he say if I call him?" said Piper to herself.
She took the phone and waited for someone to answer.
Frank answered the phone "Kohanek" he said.
"Hello, this is Piper Halliwell, I don't know if you remember me, we met at a club today" said Piper sounding nervous, she was regretting having called him.
"Sure, I remember you miss Halliwell" said Frank gladly to Piper had called "What can I do for you? Do you know something about our friends?"
"I don't want to get in your way, so if you are busy, please let me know. I just want to ask you how much you know about them" said Piper playing with the phone cord.
"Listen, it's not a good idea discussing this by phone. If you have the time meet me at your place tonight. All I can say is that they're persons to be care of, so please stay away as far as possible"
"I'll have a concert here at 8, The Corrs are playing, maybe you could come by and we could talk when my sisters and my husband are here" said Piper making an emphasis on the word 'husband'.
"Ok, see you at 8. What was the name of your club?" asked Frank. He was very excited that someone would actually believe him and that girl hadn't laughed in his face... yet.
"It's P3. You can't miss it, it's the only club around here" said Piper "See you at 8"
*In Julian's house*
Cash had communicated Julian what had happened with Piper. Still the Prince wasn't calmed yet. A witch could put the masquerade in danger, besides Cash had talked only with one and Lillie said there were two of them.
"Maybe I should visit the other witch, just to be sure" he thought.
*Near P3*
Prue answered her cell phone as she parked her car at near p3 "Hello?"
"Hey Prue" Phoebe said taking a sip of coffee. "Where are you?"
"Hi Pheebs, I'm arriving at P3" She said "Are you coming over?"
Phoebe answered "I'm on my way" and hung up.
It was 8:00 pm and Frank was standing outside P3 looking at the people in and out. Finally he decided to enter and walked towards the club. Inside he looked around looking for Piper.
Piper was behind the bar preparing some drinks and making sure the sound worked ok. She checked her watch and began looking around to see if she could start the show. Suddenly, she saw a man who looked like Frank, the guy she had met earlier that day, she approached to his side "Hello, I'm Piper, do you remember me? we met this morning" she smiled
Frank stretched out his hand and said "Sure Miss Halliwell" he smiled "So... a nice club you have here"
Piper smiled "Thank you, have a seat anywhere you want, the show will start in 2 minutes. Can I offer you anything to drink?"
"Uhm no thanks, in fact I would like to talk about you know who" said Frank.
Piper stared at him "I'd rather do that when my sisters and my husband are around..." Piper looked around and added "Please take a seat on that couch there, I'll be with you in a second, ok? I'm going go find Leo and I'll introduce The Corrs"
"Sure" Frank said
Piper went up the stage "Please give a big applause to THE CORRS", she made sure the band started playing and went back to Frank. "I am back, my husband will be here in a minute"
"Ok, first of all let me tell you one thing: I don't like this 'people' and as soon as I could I'll destroy them all. But for now I only want to keep them away from innocents" stated Frank
Piper looked at him with a puzzled look "You are talking about the vampires, right? I am not very familiar with them, I had never seen one before"
"Yes ma'am I'm talking about them. You see, they're not the usual vampires we see in a movie or in a book. They resemble to us more than we wanted. They have law and punishment, a very bloody punishment. And I'm here to warn you... Stay away from Kindred. They're not the kind of people you would like to have as enemies" his tone was low and sober. His eyes were always looking at Piper's face, as if he wanted to ask for help.
"Inspector, you are scaring me. And you have to know that I have no intention of fighting them in any sense, I hope they respect my life as I am going to respect theirs" Piper stared at Frank "Oh, by the way, please do call me Piper"
"I'm Frank then. It wasn't my intention to scare you, Piper. I only wanted to warn you about their kind" he smiled.
"I'm very familiar with ..." Piper was about to say monsters, but she knew she had to choose her words carefully "species of their kind, I mean, I've seen pretty weird things in my time" Piper looked away, hoping Frank hadn't gotten what she'd said.
"I'm sure you are" Frank smiled "I mean managing this club, you must have meet very strange people"
In that moment Prue Entered P3 and saw Piper talking to a guy "Hey Piper, sorry I'm late!" she said whitout letting Piper answer Frank's question.
Piper smiled at Prue "Prue, this is Inspector... hmm, Frank, we met him this morning, remember? We were just talking about this morning's incident" Piper turned to face Frank "This is my big sister Prue, you remember her?"
"Of course, hello again Miss Prue. If you still want to know more about vampires, you can ask me anything"
"Thank you, but I think I have enough information already. The less you come in touch with them, the better, right?" said Piper
"About the vampires?" asked Prue
"Yes, Prue. I don't want to know anything about vampires, demons or warlocks. I just want my life to be normal. I wanna forget about all this and have a healthy marriage" Piper was only talking to Prue, then she realized Frank was looking at her "Sister stuff" she added
"Yes I agree with you Miss Piper but you need to know the enemy to be prepared for him" said Frank smiling.
"But my husband said they weren't enemies. He specifically told us that if got away from them, they wouldn't come here and attack us" Piper's voice sounded like a cry for help, she needed Prue or Leo to back her up
"I knew it! If they're killing innocents they could only be enemies! I think we better listen to what he has to say Piper!" said Prue
"You never know. Once you enter in their lives you can't escape so easily" Frank's voice was sad now.
Prue looked at Piper and turned to Frank "How much you know about them?" She stopped for a while "How and why you know about them???"
"I had the pleasure of being part of their world when I met my only love... Alexandra" he paused to picture Alexandra's face in his mind "She was a vampire and they kill her"
"Oh, I am so sorry" Piper didn't know what else to say
"It's ok. But now I'm fighting to stop them, I'm sorry if I scare you... listen, everything you want to know about them you can ask me"
"I'll keep that in mind, thank you. But I don't think I'll ever need your help, right Prue?" said Piper looking at her sister, then she went back to look at Frank "Would you like a drink now?"
"No thanks I should better going now, bye" he left feeling terribly bad about Alexandra's memory.
Phoebe walked into P3 and walked over to the bar.
"Hey guys," she said "Sorry I couldn't get here earlier I have finals tomorrow and I had to study. So what happened while I wasn't here?"
"Nothing very important" said Piper smiling "You know the usual, the band just finished playing, this guy came and told us about some ..." Piper lowered her voice "vampires" Piper looked at
Phoebe "So, are you ready for your finals, Phoebs?"
"I think I'm gonna be ok." Phoebe said "So what did this guys tell you about?"
Then, Julian entered the P3. His tall, dark figure seemed to have an hypnotic effect in the people. A girl walked towards him, she looked like a groupie. The prince was hungry. After she talked to him for a while they both went to the bathroom, a few minutes later Julian came out, stronger. The girl woke up a little dizzy, then she went to her car without knowing what happened.
Julian looked for the owner, he asked the bartender who pointed at Piper. He walked towards her and said "Good night. Can I speak to you Miss Halliwell?"
Piper was about to tell Phoebe the whole story when she heard a man talking to her, so she turned to face the guy. He was very attractive and his glance was almost hypnotizing.
"Good night" said Piper not being able to take her eyes off of his "Do we know each other?"
"No, miss Halliwell. I'm only a friend. I would like to talk to you" said Julian.
"Alright, go ahead, I'm listening Mr ..." Piper stared at him waiting for him to say his name.
"My name is Julian Luna" said Julian stretching out his hand "I take it you're the own of this place. It's a very nice club, so warm and full of life. I think we can chat in a more intimate place, about businesses of course" Julian's eyes were inside Piper's mind, he was reading her aura.
Piper smiled. There was something in that man that attracted her
"Talk about what, Mr. Luna? what businesses do we have? We could go to my office if you wish" Piper pointed a little door backstage.
Suddenly a man appeared. It wasn't human but kindred, his eyes grew green as he approached Julian. He saw him talking to a woman, then the Brujah known as Joseph Reagan jumped on the prince while his fangs grew. The music stopped and everyone started screaming and running towards the exit.
TO BE CONTINUED..
Meanwhile Piper went outside with Prue.
"This is a weird neighborhood and certainly a very strange place ... What are they? you know, that girl and the two guys, they aren't human, that's for sure"
Then a man stepped out from the shadows. It was Frank, the human cop who had been waiting to catch some information about Julian Luna. Frank walked towards Piper and said "You shouldn't be here, it's dangerous. I thought you said the people inside aren't human so I think you already meet my friends"
"Who are you?" asked Piper scared, she hadn't seen him arrive "Are you like them?"
"Me? no, never!" he said in a rude tone. Then he slowed it down "They're not like us. They're night creatures. This isn't a place for girls like you"

"I believe in everything, from vampires to demons. I think that the only thing I am starting to doubt about is true love" said Piper sighing "Sorry about that... Nice to meet you" she stretched her
hand "My name is Piper ... Piper Halliwell and this is my sister Prue"
Frank showed a shy smile because of Piper's comment about true love, then he said "Well miss Halliwell this is not a place for you, it's better if you go now... uh, maybe you would like to pass by the station and tell me what exactly did you see in there" he handed her a card "It's been a pleasure to meet you" he looked at Prue "and you"
Prue smiled at Frank "I'm sure she'll! We better go now!" she took Piper's arm and said "I don't have much time, I mean the astral... I have to get you out of here, lets go to the manor and see what Phoebe and Leo found out!" She leaded Piper to a main street "We need to find you a cab!"
Piper stopped a cab to go home.
"Prue, you go back to the manor, I'll arrive in 10 ok?" Piper got into the cab and headed home. When she arrived, she opened the door and saw Prue, Phoebe and Leo "Did you find anything?" she asked
Leo hugged Piper "I'm so glad you are ok, we were worried sick here" he pointed to the sky and added "What 'they' told me is that you were chasing a vampire. San Francisco is full of them"
"I was very scared, Leo ..." Piper looked at him and felt happy to see him, she missed him "Are we supposed to get rid of the vampires or is that Buffy's job?"

*Simultaneously at Julian's house*
"I don't think he knows anything at all. He was just a hunger kindred looking for a haven" said Cameron
Julian cleared his throat "Is this the work of a witch?" he asked "I haven't seen one in this part of the city since 1980"
"You knew about this. How many supernatural magic things exist that I am not aware of?" asked Lillie upset.

"No thanks I should better going now, bye" he left feeling terribly bad about Alexandra's memory.
Phoebe walked into P3 and walked over to the bar.
"Hey guys," she said "Sorry I couldn't get here earlier I have finals tomorrow and I had to study. So what happened while I wasn't here?"
"Nothing very important" said Piper smiling "You know the usual, the band just finished playing, this guy came and told us about some ..." Piper lowered her voice "vampires" Piper looked at
Phoebe "So, are you ready for your finals, Phoebs?"
"I think I'm gonna be ok." Phoebe said "So what did this guys tell you about?"
Then, Julian entered the P3. His tall, dark figure seemed to have an hypnotic effect in the people. A girl walked towards him, she looked like a groupie. The prince was hungry. After she talked to him for a while they both went to the bathroom, a few minutes later Julian came out, stronger. The girl woke up a little dizzy, then she went to her car without knowing what happened.
Julian looked for the owner, he asked the bartender who pointed at Piper. He walked towards her and said "Good night. Can I speak to you Miss Halliwell?"
Piper was about to tell Phoebe the whole story when she heard a man talking to her, so she turned to face the guy. He was very attractive and his glance was almost hypnotizing.
"Good night" said Piper not being able to take her eyes off of his "Do we know each other?"
"No, miss Halliwell. I'm only a friend. I would like to talk to you" said Julian.
"Alright, go ahead, I'm listening Mr ..." Piper stared at him waiting for him to say his name.
"My name is Julian Luna" said Julian stretching out his hand "I take it you're the own of this place. It's a very nice club, so warm and full of life. I think we can chat in a more intimate place, about businesses of course" Julian's eyes were inside Piper's mind, he was reading her aura.
Piper smiled. There was something in that man that attracted her
"Talk about what, Mr. Luna? what businesses do we have? We could go to my office if you wish" Piper pointed a little door backstage.
Suddenly a man appeared. It wasn't human but kindred, his eyes grew green as he approached Julian. He saw him talking to a woman, then the Brujah known as Joseph Reagan jumped on the prince while his fangs grew. The music stopped and everyone started screaming and running towards the exit.
