Chapter 10 "I Will Always Love You"
Prue smiled and took Piper's hand "Yes, sweetie, I am here. But you have to go back and be with Phoebe. She needs you"
"No, Prue, I want to be here with you. I can't go back. Life without you makes no sense. Besides, we will get killed soon, because you were the most powerful witch, without you, we are just a couple of practitioners" said Piper crying.
Prue spoke to Piper with her usual sweetish stern tone "Piper, listen to me, you are now the most powerful witch there is. You will be as good as me, or even better" Prue smiled "You still have a lot to live for, Piper, you will get pregnant very soon. And that little girl will need her mommy" Then, she took Piper's hand again "It is not good to cling to the past. Remember everything I taught you and then, live your life as if I had never gone. Something that I learned being here is that we never die, I will always be there with you, whenever you need me. But now, it is your turn to take my place and be that special sister to Phoebe. I will always love you, sis"
Meanwhile Phoebe was trying to fight her own demon.
"Oh! Those witches keep coming like flies to the honey" said Joseph with a sigh, then he kicked Phoebe and when she was in the floor he got closer and whispered to her ear "How about being like me? Wouldn't be that ... nice?" his green eyes where so intense that Phoebe couldn't move, his fangs were getting closer to her neck.
Piper went back to her body. She took a deep breathe to fill her lungs with air again and stood up, just in time to save Phoebe "Hey you! Get away from my sister!" Piper smiled "No, I am not dead, I couldn't be more alive. Now, if you have a problem, come to me and leave Phoebe alone"
"Well, well, the witch is back! Come play with me" Joseph literally flew against Piper to bite her.
Piper froze him in the air and then went over to Lillie and Julian "I admit it, I was being a fool thinking I could kill him all alone. Now I need your help. What do we do first?"
"First of all you'll have to freeze the whole place!" said Lillie thinking in keeping the masquerade.
"I'll have to fight to make him weak" said Julian and in that moment Joseph unfroze, he was a very strong kindred.
Piper froze The Haven again and then unfroze Lillie and Julian "Ok, I will let you fight, I guess you know what you are doing. I am unfreezing him now, be ready" She unfroze Joseph and the rest of the club remained frozen.
"So, the witch finally realized she cannot fight with me?" said Joseph smiling then turned to Julian "So, I guess we'll finally have our show!" without saying something else Joseph attacked Julian fiercely Both were throwing bites and all that could be heard was growls and gasps. Julian was very strong but Joseph needed revenge and that make him feel stronger. Joseph saw the sword that had Phoebe and took it fast, then pointed it at Julian.
"You'll die Prince!" yelled Joseph.
But he liked the fun and instead of cutting Julian's head he impaled him. Julian cried out loud but rapidly took out the sword, the bleed was intense but Julian kept fighting. Joseph was stronger than ever and he took a knife from the bar and threw it to Julian but he got it with the hand and threw it back at Joseph's chest, he bleed but it stopped instantaneously. Julian was very tired and still bleeding.
Lillie took the sword and tried to kill Joseph but he got her and smashed her against the wall saying "None of your business, Toreador!" then he looked at Julian who was still bleeding and said "It was a pleasure to play with you but I have something more important to do... like ruling this city" he took the sword again and run towards Julian yelling "This is your end, Prince!!!!"
Piper froze the scene "Phoebe, quick, get the innocent away before this vampire unfreezes"
Phoebe took Julian by the arms and with a great effort, she took him away from the sword "Ok, he'll be safe here"
Piper unfroze the whole place and told Joseph "Hey, I guess it's 2 versus 0, huh? I am starting to like this game"
"You again?" said Joseph with his face distorted with anger "This time I'll make sure every piece of you is away from the other!" he jumped on Piper with the sword in his hands ready to kill her.
Paige remembered what Piper had told her at the manor and decided to give it a try "Channel your energy to the desired object" she said to herself "Sword!" Nothing happened "Focus ... Sword" This time the object appeared in her hands "Great, Paige, you did it" she congratulated herself "Piper, catch!" she threw her the sword.
Piper caught the sword and got closer to Joseph "This is your end, vampire!" She took the sword and without thinking twice, she cut his head off
"Ok, that was messy" She turned to Julian "Is that all? Is he dead now?"
Julian was breathing slowly but he was still alive he looked at Piper and smiled "Yes, he's dead now" then looked at Lillie.
Lillie quickly cut her hand and offered her blood to Julian "This will make you feel better"
Piper smiled and went to Phoebe "I guess we are still the Mighty Charmed Ones, huh?" She took Phoebe's hand "Honey, I am really sorry about my behavior lately, I haven't felt like myself since Prue died, but that's gonna change. Now it's my job to take care of you" She turned to Paige "and you. You did a great job, worthy of a Charmed One. Welcome to the family, Paige. I'd love to get to know you"
Paige nodded and smiled at Piper "Thank you, Piper. It will be nice having a family again... But there is something I don't understand, do we have to help this kind of people everyday?"
Phoebe laughed "Yes, I am afraid so, Paige. But the job is rewarding, believe me" Then she turned to Lillie "We are sorry we destroyed your club like this, but it was worthy, right?"
Lillie looked at Phoebe "We have to protect the masquerade" she said in a rude tone "Our identity, otherwise you humans will hunt us down... all the people that's here must forget what happened" then turned to Piper "How are we supposed to erase 100 people's mind?"
Julian, who was recovering thanks to Lillie's blood, said "We have the ability to erase people's memories but it takes a lot of time an effort... if we break the masquerade, we die"
"I know a way to erase people's memories, but we need you to promise that you won't go after us once we've helped you" said Piper looking from Julian to Lillie and the other way around.
"You have my word" said Julian standing up from the floor "but you won't go after us either. And you will not tell a single person about us" Julian was looking at Piper directly with a look that was so deep and intense that he could've hypnotize her in that moment but he didn't.
"I cross my heart. I won't mention this ever again. And about us coming after you, don't worry, we won't do that. I'd like to forget this ever took place" Piper sighed and called Leo "My husband here will help you erase their memories"
Julian looked at Lillie and nodded, both knew what were thinking. Then he looked at Piper and said "Yes, thank you"
Leo put everyone into a trance and proceeded to erase their memories, being careful only to erase that day's memories and not their whole life's
"I hope you know what you're doing, Julian" said Lillie "These witches are very powerful and they can be great enemies"
Julian didn't look at Lillie "Don't worry Lillie. We are the bad guys, these witches will keep their word" then he turned and look at Lillie with a smile "Thank you"
"For what?" asked Lillie
"For saving my life" said Julian. Lillie smiled and kissed him and surprisingly he kissed her back, then she said "It was a pleasure, my prince"
"Piper, honey, I hope we don't get in trouble because of this. You know I am not allowed to use this power carelessly"
Piper kissed Leo "Don't worry, we've broken so many rules that I don't think they'll notice" She laughed and kissed him again
