Chapter 5 "An Angry Monster"
"Joseph? the Brujah killer? You must be wrong, Julian. He died a long time ago" said Lillie after hearing what had happened in P3.
"It was Joseph. I saw him killing a witch. All this years and he hasn't change... he's the same Brujah bastard we knew at Chicago" said Julian looking at his glass of wine. Julian had met her in the Haven after the fight.
(Author's note: Joseph was a Brujah embraced without permission. He only wanted blood and never followed the kindred rules, that's why he become a personal killer for the Brujah prince of New York. He tried to kill Julian several years ago but he missed, after that he became a fled kindred and someone said to Julian, thirteen years ago, that he was dead)
"He broke the masquerade. You know he must die. What happened to the other witch? are we safe?" said Lillie to Julian as if he had just forgiven Joseph.
"Don't worry, he will die... We are safe for now. It seems like the witches were sisters. The one who survived could want a revenge and we cannot risk the masquerade" He sipped his wine "I want you to find out about this witches. I think there are three of them."
He looked at Lillie, put his glass on the table and then he got out from the Haven.
Meanwhile in the basement of Julian's house: "I can sense you, Cash" Daedalus was painting. He didn't have the need of turning his head to see who was standing behind him "Is there a problem?"
"Joseph is alive" answered Cash
Daedalus stopped painting and turned to Cash. He looked angry instead of surprised "Are you sure?" he asked
"He tried to kill Julian a moment ago. He says a witch was killed in a club called P3" said Cash
"A witch? I haven't heard of a witch since 1985. What's her relationship with Joseph?" said Daedalus while returning to his painting.
"None that I know of. But Julian said we must be careful, because she had a sister who has incredible powers. The prince thinks she could want to revenge her sister's death."
Cash stepped inside the room "But that's of no importance. Julian wants you to kill Joseph. He endangered the masquerade" he said
Daedalus thought for a moment, then he looked at Cash saying "It will be a pleasure for me"
Cash nodded and left the room.
Back to P3 Piper was worried and puzzled about Phoebe's premonition.
"A girl named Paige, and now that you've mentioned mom, I noticed this girl had mom's eyes, but I don't understand" Piper started walking back and forward at P3 "Let's get you healed, then we'll go home and we'll figured all this out"
Piper turned away from Phoebe and saw Prue lying on the floor, she began crying again.
"Prue, why did you have to leave me all alone here? don't you understand that I won't be able to live without you?" she started sobbing on top of Prue's chest "I won't be able to survive, I only have Phoebe and Leo left ..."
Leo orbed in and approached Piper, but she moved away from him.
"Piper, honey, you need to let her go. You need to continue your work as the Charmed Ones. In fact, I have something to tell you ..." Leo was about to speak when he saw Phoebe's leg, he went by her side and healed her.
"This is going to be hard on you both, especially now that you've just lost Prue, but we can't risk losing more innocents lives ... Phoebe, Piper, you have another sister, her name is Paige. She is your mother's and Sam's daughter" he said while healing Phoebe.
Piper looked at him with an angry glance
"What? that girl is actually our sister ... I mean, our middle sister? This can't be happening. 'They' can't do this, Prue won't be replaced. SHE WON'T "
Phoebe went to hug Piper "Honey, I know this is hard, but we have to go find Paige and tell her. We'll get used to this, we'll have the power of three again"
"I don't want the power of three, I don't want to be a witch, I don't give a damn about Paige, I just want Prue back, can't you understand it? She was everything to me" Piper turned to face Leo "I can't understand how 'they' let this happen. How can the elders be so cruel to take away from me what I loved the most. I am not willing to continue protecting innocents, I don't care about them anymore. I failed, I couldn't protect the greatest innocent, I couldn't save Prue" Piper fell to her knees crying, she couldn't take it anymore.
"Piper, we'll get over this together. We have to. Remember when mom died? we got through it, the same happened when Grams died. We will have to be strong, honey. Now, can we go look for Paige?" asked Phoebe combing Piper's hair when her fingers.
Piper shook her head
"I don't want to go look for her, I don't want to see Paige. Paige won't replace Prue, if 'they' are thinking we're gonna forget our sister because we have a new one, well then, they are mistaken. If you want, Phoebe, you go look for her, but I will go home and take the appropriate time to mourn her death"
Piper got up and left the club.
The next morning Lillie heard about Prue's funeral, she decided to go there and look for some answers about these mysterious witches. She arrived early to the church and waited outside.
Piper arrived alone to Prue's funeral, she wasn't in the mood to talk to Phoebe or Leo. When she arrived at the church, she noticed nobody was here but a woman. Piper walked past her and opened the door, walked in and remained staring at the coffin. A tear rolled down her cheek.
"I will miss you so much, Prue" she whispered
Lillie was standing behind Piper. Like all the vampires, she appeared there suddenly without making a single noise.
"Excuse me Miss Halliwell. May I speak to you?" said Lillie with her beautiful Toreador smile and her hypnotic icy-blue eyes.
Piper wiped the tears off her face and turned around. She wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, especially a stranger. Who was she?
Piper nodded "Where did you know Prue from? work?"
"In fact I knew you both from the same place. Remember when you were chasing a man and entered to a club called the Haven?" she asked.
Lillie didn't stop smiling. She couldn't understand the sadness Piper was feeling.
"Yes, I remember now" whispered Piper "The service will start in 10 minutes. Thank you for coming" Piper had no idea what that woman was doing there, but she didn't feel like talking too much.
"I didn't mind to pry but if you'd want to talk to me just a few minutes. I think your life is in danger" Lillie didn't like the churches very much so she didn't want to stay for the service.
Piper rolled her eyes "So, what else is new? my life is in danger everyday, and you know, I might as well like to be dead physically, because emotionally, I died the day Prue's life was taken away from me" she said.
"I don't know why this is so important to you, but I was sent to know who you are. Tell me... are you one of the 'chosen witches'?" Lillie asked.
"Who sent you?" whispered Piper staring at Lillie "I used to be one of the mighty witches, but not anymore, now I am only Piper Halliwell, sister of the beloved Prue Halliwell. I am giving up my powers"
"The Charmed Ones. I have heard about you but I never thought I'd meet one of you. Well if you're not longer a witch I have to go" Lillie turned her back but didn't stop talking
"But let me warn you to keep an eye open. You made Joseph angry" she said.
"Are you one of them too?" asked Piper louder so Lillie could hear "Are you one of those monsters who killed my sister?"
Lillie turned back to Piper. Her expression changed.
"I'm not a monster Ms Halliwell" said Lillie with a stoic face "humans made me what I am... just like you. Besides why would I want to kill your sister?"
"So, you are one of them then. One of you killed a good person, the best person ever, that makes him a monster and I don't trust anyone anymore, one of your kind took away what mattered the most to me, don't you get it?" Piper felt like crying again.
"I've seen so many monsters in my life and, believe me Ms Halliwell, I'm not one. And you have no idea the kind of evil Joseph is" Her smile had disappeared and her eyes looked colder.
"I don't care if this Joseph comes here and kills me, he'd do me a favor. In fact, if you are one of them, why don't you kill me right now?" Piper began yelling "Come on, kill me, this life is worthless without Prue"
Lillie got Piper by the throat and lifted her from the floor pulling her against the wall.
"Listen to me. There are worse things than death. If I'd like to kill you, you would be dead. Don't play with me, witch or I won't care about the rules and I'll make you suffer like never before. I do not care you are one of the Charmed Ones, right now you're just a worthless human to me. If you want to die just shoot yourself but never call me a monster! You get it?! I'm not like Joseph. I would not kill you fast!" said Lillie nearly yelling at Piper's face.
