Chapter 4
** When we last left the Charmed Ones; Piper was about to confess her feelings to Leo, Paige was giving Richard his powers back, and Pheobe spotted Jason levitating in their living room. This chapter will reveal the conclusions. **
"Leo! I'm glad you're here! I need to talk to you," Piper blurted out the second the orbs disappeared.
"Yeah sure. Speak your mind," he responded coolly.
"Great! I was going to anyways," Piper's voice sounded frantic and anxious, "I've been thinking a lot about you the past few days. It's a different feeling. Usually I'm off sorting out P3 problems and things with my sisters- -- what the hell!" Piper stepped towards Leo and kissed him. It was awkward for the first second or two but then she felt him kissing back. It was exactly how she'd imagined it earlier. They didn't pull apart for a long time. Neither of them wanted the moment to end. It was perfect. Like out of a movie and they were the stars.
Pheobe couldn't move, she was still in awe. It wasn't mad just very shocked. It was a relief to have him bring up the topic about magic. Jason walked towards her.
"Pheobe, are you mad at me?"
"No. Actually this is a relief."
"I don't really understand."
"Jason, I'm a witch. I'm a Charmed One. I have been trying to find the words to tell you but I just didn't know how."
Jason hugged Pheobe. He was pleased that she was a witch too and she wasn't angry with him. It was an odd moment but thrilling in its own special way.
Paige walked back to the dining room and saw Richard sitting at the table.
"What were you doing?" he asked darkly.
"I- I was looking for you," Paige stammered. He was kind of frightening this evening. His eyes looked black, he had on dark clothes, and a very unwelcoming look upon his face. She wondered what was wrong this time.
"Well you found me. Can we eat now?"
"Sure, I guess." In front of them was a nice portioned meal. There was chicken, mashed potatoes, salad, and chocolate cake for desert. They ate in silence. Paige took a sip of her drink. She felt an abnormal twinge in her stomach. Richard watched as Paige's expression turned from puzzled to deep pain.
"You thought I wouldn't notice when you slipped that potion into my drink! I know you were trying to unbind my powers. But you're too late! I've already done it myself! I knew if I didn't things would get bad between us," Richard had never acted like this before. Paige was in such pain she could hardly breathe.
Leo broke away from the kiss.
"What's wrong?" Piper noticed the upset look on his face.
"It's Paige! Let's go."
Leo orbed them both over to Paige. They found her curled on the floor screeching in pain. Richard was nowhere in sight. Leo tried to heal the suffering Paige. His powers were useless on her.
"I don't know what's wrong with her!" Leo exclaimed. Piper rummaged through Paige's purse and found the undo spell she recited it twice and Paige's spasm suddenly stopped. Leo orbed them both back to the manor.
Paige told them what had happened and Piper went to the attic to make a potion to stop the crazed Richard. Soon after Pheobe entered with a grin on her face.
"Jason's a witch!"
"Um, now isn't the best time Pheobes," Leo told her, "Richard has gone mad and we are trying to stop him. You may want to go upstairs and help Piper with a potion. Pheobe climbed the stairs to the attic. Richard appeared on the stairs and thrust her backward and she went tumbling down the stairs.
At that moment two things happened. One: Jason walked through the door. Two: Shelbie was right on the top step and saw Richard. Shelbie conjured another green fireball and started to throw it at Richard. He grabbed her and threw her over the banister. She landed on her feet, flew up and grabbed Richard. Shelbie brought him over into the foyer and threw him against the wall. Piper ran down the stairs and tossed Shelbie the potion. Before Richard knew what was happening she threw it at him. A demon like creature burst out of his body. Shelbie recognized him at once as a Depend demon.
She conjured a sword, Excalibur. Shelbie drove Excalibur into the demon and he vanished leaving turquoise shimmering dust. Richard was knocked out and Shelbie fainted after the victory.
"Damn it! I just finished paying for those wall repairs!"
