A/N- I am taking the Chris thing from 'Charmed' out. It just wouldn't fit, obviously. But everything from Buffy still remains intact.
Piper was laughing at something Paige had said. They were like two giggling schoolgirls as they opened the door and stepped into the house. Most of the lights were out except for the living room, where one lonely light was shimmering onto the room.
Paige stopped abruptly when she looked into the living room. Piper was looking around for Phoebe.
"Where's Phoebe?" she asked Paige. Paige nodded to the living room with a smile spread wide across her face.
Piper would have thought it was cute if she wasn't so angry. There lying on the couch was Spike and Phoebe was cuddling up next to him, they were both fast asleep.
Though Phoebe was a light sleeper.
She had heard a noise and then footsteps. She was comfy in her bed. She rolled over as if to shut out the noise.
"Phoebe" she heard someone hiss.
That's it she was awake. She looked up to see who was calling her. She looked to see Piper standing near her, though not to close.
"What?" she said still not to sure of where she was. Piper nodded angrily to right behind Phoebe.
Phoebe turned around and looked right into the face of. Spike. 'What the hell?!' she thought to herself. Then her mind replayed the nights events. She was feeling sad, put on her cd, Spike came over, they listened, they both felt loss, and then they must have fallen asleep.
She looked over at Piper then back to Spike. Oh God, this must look so wrong. Piper stormed into the kitchen. Phoebe slid off the couch and followed her.
Paige was already in there, giving Phoebe a knowing smile. Great, they all think she had done something with Spike. Which was so far from the truth.
"Piper" she hissed to her retreating back. But Piper was ignoring her.
"Piper!" she said louder as they entered the kitchen. "Its not what it looks like"
"Really?!" she said her voice exploding with anger. "So what someone just came in here put you both to sleep then arranged you so that you were CUDDLING!"
Phoebe caught a glimpse of Paige trying to suppress her laughter. Piper saw it too and gave Paige a cold stare.
"You know Phoebe I really didn't think you would be that shallow, I mean what you've known him for a week?"
"Listen Piper, you don't know what happened, Spike was comforting me I was feeling depressed about Cole" Phoebe said anger flashing in her eyes.
Piper felt sorry for what she said for an instant, but she still didn't think that was all it was and the real reason she was acting like this was because, well she felt betrayed for herself and for Leo.
"So what you just seek solace in the closest mans arms? Do you remember what Leo told us?! He was a VAMPIRE!" she said her voice rising on the last word.
"I KNOW!" Phoebe said almost as loud. "You know what Piper? I don't have to explain this to you, you're not my mother! I think mom would have had a little more compassion!" she said yelling, then walked briskly out of the kitchen.
Piper stood there stunned by her words. It was a low blow to mention their mother. Paige had also slipped silently out of the kitchen which left Piper alone. She made herself a cup of tea and tried to stay strong. She went to sit at the table and stirred her tea. She watched as one tear fell from her cheek and into the tea. Then she broke down and wept.
--------------In another part of the city----------------------
The shadow demon was once again called to the Cabin Throne (as most of the others called it).
"I have a new mission for you" she creature on the chair said, although it was more of hiss than actual speaking.
The shadow demon nodded his head. The creature in the chair threw two crystal vials to the demon. The shadow demon looked at them. Blue mists swirled around in them.
"For the whitelighters" he said, and the shadow demon could sense the Creature's wicked smile as he said the words.
"It will take their powers, but the witch will still remain witch-y just no whitelighter skills" the shadow demon nodded.
"Now here's where it comes into play, I want you to take out the eldest witch, just one scratch with this knife" the Creature handed him the knife. "Will take her out and with the whitelighters incapable of healing she will be done"
The shadow demon nodded and took the intricately carved knife. The Creature leaned back in his chair.
The shadow took that to mean that he was dismissed he walked towards the door.
"One more thing" The Creature said from his throne. He threw a stake to the demon "For the Vampire" and the Creature smiled again, in a most evil way.
The demon nodded and left back into the shadows. He looked down at the knife.
They weren't just patterns on the knife but some kind of old demon language. Lucky for him he spoke Tarawick. It said-
"The blood which I spill, I consecrate to the oldest evil"
And on the opposite side there was different language, it was Relarin. He knew that too. He was a well taught demon. It said-
"For those that are pure will face the torture of this edge"
With an amazed face the demon set out to the Halliwell house
-------------------------- At the Halliwell Manor-----------------
They had all thought that Spike was asleep, he wasn't. He always had to be on alert, he had had a lot of enemies back in Sunnyhell.
He had heard most of the conversation between them. Spike was so embarrassed. He had not meant for this to happen, and he hoped that he had not lead the little witch on unintentionally. But by what he heard Phoebe say they both felt the same. Well that was a small sense of relief.
He heard Paige and Phoebe go upstairs and now he heard the small sobs of Piper. His heart broke as he listened and he couldn't just lay here and do nothing. He sucked up his pride and went into the kitchen.
The witch was at the table crying into her tea. Spike tried to be silent and help but the floor tiles creaked as he stepped in.
Her head whipped up. "What do you want?" she said, hatred filling her voice.
"I.uh. Are you okay?" he said awkwardly.
"You want to comfort me now?" she said her voice rising again. "Well I don't want it" she said and turned her back to him.
"Piper..." he started to say.
"NO!" she said whirling around. "You think you can just come in here and act all sweet and look all bad boy and win my sisters over?! You can't, your nothing! I will never accept you Spike, No matter how hard you try!"
Spike gulped and thought that coming into the kitchen might have been a bad idea.
She wasn't done.
"I don't like you, In fact right now I HATE you! I want you out of my house, out of my life, and away from my family! You could never replace him. Never!" She cried out.
The words hurt but now he understood why she hated him. She thought he was trying to take the place of Leo.
"Piper... I would never." Spike said.
"NO!" she yelled again and advanced on him. She stared him down then turned back around.
"You could never understand what its like to lose someone" she said quietly. "Not like me"
She didn't know how wrong she was. He couldn't take this.
"As a matter of fact" he said his voice increasing decibels, and then he calmed down. "You're wrong, Piper"
She was about to yell at him when the kitchen door opened with a mighty wind that blew both of them back into the sunroom.
Piper luckily hit the couch but Spike landed on a glass table, it shattered into a million tiny shards. But he immediately stood up and was in a fighting stance. Piper also struggled to get up while Phoebe and Paige came rushing down the stairs.
"What's happening?!" Paige yelled over the wind.
"Something blew the door open and sent us flying back" Spike yelled. He didn't notice the black demon that had entered the household. It swept through the shadows as the 4 tried to beat back the wind.
Leo then orbed down right in the middle of chaos. Bad timing. He flew back as soon as he had fully formed.
"What the hell?!" he yelled.
"Big Wind" Spike said shortening the story.
"Got that!" he yelled.
The shadow demon suddenly threw the two crystal vials at Leo and Paige the blue mists surrounded them. It swirled around them for about 2 seconds until it went straight through them.
Paige screamed and Leo grunted, they both fell to the floor. While this was going on the shadow demon lurked over to Piper and used the special knife to cut a small slit in her stomach. She fell to the ground clutching the wound. Something had entered her it felt like poison.
She watched as Spike dodged a stake and watched as her sister and husband writhed in pain then she blacked out.
Spike saw Piper collapse and ran to her side. He saw the demon trying to get away. It looked like shadow but he could see a form in there somewhere. He grabbed it and threw it on a large shard of glass.
It made an ear piercing scream then the shadow evaporated around the form finally sucking the whole body into oblivion.
Phoebe was staking a vampire that must have accompanied the demon. They looked at what surrounded them.
"Spike!" Leo yelled from where he crouched over Piper and Paige was near him. It looked like they were both trying to heal her but nothing was happening.
Spike hurried over and Phoebe was right behind him.
Leo looked up at them panic evident on his face.
"You have to heal her" he said. Spike nodded. He knelt down beside the two.
Leo showed him what to do. Spike put his hands over Piper's wound. Nothing happened, no healing white light.
Leo didn't understand, Spike wasn't hit with the vial, was he?
"Spike orb right now" Leo said and nodded across the room. Spike didn't know why but he did.
It worked.
What the hell, Leo thought.
"Spike what happened before this wind?" Leo said, his voice rising in panic. He lifted his wife up and put her on the couch.
Spike knew he had to tell the truth, it could mean Piper's life.
"We were fighting, the yelling kind" he said quietly.
"What about?" Leo said trying to stay calm. "She said I couldn't replace you and that she didn't want me in her life or her family's"
Leo was shocked, Yea Piper could be harsh at times but she never usually was like that. Then it dawned on him.
"Piper hasn't accepted you" he said.
"Well yea" Spike said "Did you not just hear what I said?"
"No you see when a whitelighter is sent to protect a witch they have to trust and accept the witch and vice versa. I don't think Piper accepts you as her whitelighter, so your powers won't work on her" Leo said.
He looked down at his wife and brushed the hair away from her face and a tear fell from his cheek onto hers.
