Chapter 28 - "Stay away from me."
The next morning James woke up, he had snapped out of a dream and was sweaty in the face. *Maybe i
dreamt that Leo died.* He looked in the mirror and heard the sisters talking in the kitchen. *Yeah,
it was a nightmare. I never lost my friend and Piper never lost her lover. Oh no, that means Alec is
still around.* James got up and went to the bathroom. He stared in the mirror before washing his
face. James was coming fown the hallway when he bumped into Piper. "Piper!" James was happy to see
her. She looked great, James seriously thought his nightmare wasn't real.
Piper hugged him. James noticed that they had stood there for three minutes now and not a thing had
been said. His face dropped, it wasn't a dream after all, he could feel her hurt.
Piper finally let go of him and looked him in the eye. She forced a smile and headed to the kitchen.
James followed her there.
Phoebe and Paige were still in their pyjamas but Prue was almost ready to go to work. They noticed
their sister comes towards them. They called out her name softly. Piper just nodded and made a bee-line
for the fridge.
"You ready to go to work Prue?" Bane stepped inside the house and saw Piper. Piper stood at the fridge.
"Uh, maybe." This was the first time Piper had stepped out in days, she didn't know if she should
stay home with her sister. "Piper?"
Piper looked over at Bane and Prue, she waved her hand as a signal to go. Then she looked back in
tthe fridge and smiled. Prue found it a little strange.
"Ookay. I guess we're going. Bye guys ..see you tonight Piper." Prue waited for an answer but she
didn't get one. Bane and Prue made their way out.
Piper had made her breakfast and was deciding where to sit. James, Phoebe and Paige were at the table.
Piper walked out the front door and sat on the porch.
"What kinda state of mind do you think she's in?" Phoebe asked.
"Not a good one at all. At least she's not crying." Paige replied.
"I hope she's not surpressing her emotions. She can talk to us, any of us." said James.
"No, i don't think she's surpressing them - otherwise she wouldn't have been crying for the last
four days. Hmm.." Phoebe thought about something.
"What is it that's making you 'hmm'?" Paige asked.
"Well, she's been pouring her fragile heart out but not one single explosion. By rights her powers
should be on the fritz."
"Well lets thank god that she hasn't blown up the house." concluded James.
Outside, Piper was eating her food, slowly. She was looking around when these bright yellow lights
were hovering in front of her, like the ones that show when Grams pays a visit. Piper stopped
eating and watched, was Grams here? The lights started to move to the side of the house. Piper
followed them without any thought. They lead her around the house and to the backyard.
Phoebe, Paige and James saw Piper go past the front window and then saw her through the back window,
that had yet to be fixed. They noticed the yellow light, and then it disappeared.
Piper realised where she was standing, right on the spot she had lost her love a few nights back.
She knew the spirits were bringing her back to her place of pain. She had to deal with it, otherwise
she or her sisters would never get on with their lives.
The broken-hearted woman just stood there for a minute, her sisters and friend watched on. Piper
let out a loud cry of pain and held her head in her hands. She could bearly stand up but she felt
something stopping her falling - it was anger, anger that her soulmate was taken away. Piper raised
her hands and blew up the already shattered pot plant. She eyed the oldest deakchair and blew that
up too. Piper killed the clothe's line and then took out the wall facing her from the extra room
which contained the stainless steel bench. Paige, Phoebe and James were scared, yeah Piper could blow
up as many pot plants as she wanted but taking out a whole wall was going a bit too far. Piper turned
and faced the shed, the shed which contained the Book Of Shadows. She had her hands in fists and was
about to extend her fingers when two of her sisters ran outside and yelled her name.
"Piper!" "You got to stop now, if you want, you can kill as many shrubs as you want but leave the
shed alone." Phoebe told her.
Piper ignored her, then Paige butted in. "Piper, you can't blow that up, all our stuff is in there
plus one more thing, The Book of Shadow - THE most important thing to our family. You can't go and
destroy that Piper, no matter what you're feeling."
Piper put her hands down. Her eyes filled with tears and then she faced them. She raised her hands.
"Piper what are you doing?!" James yelled out, he approached her.
"Stay away from me." Piper demanded.
"Piper don't do this. You love your sisters, i love your sisters...i love you. Don't do this, please."
James's plea hadn't quite registered in Piper's mind. She hesitated and then opened her hands up.
She had killed the ones she loved.....
