Chapter 29 - *confusion is..confusing.*
Piper had killed the vines she loved that hung outside her bedroom wall. They went up in flames.
Everyone was relived, they almost thought they were going to die. Piper's mind was racing but she
couldn't move or speak, the hatred was consuming her. All she could do was cry.
James, Paige and Phoebe ran to Piper and hugged her. Her breathing was scattered. The love that had
surrounded her washed away the hate, she didn't feel hot anymore, the cool love she felt helped her
with that.
(Time lapse)
Phoebe and Paige had spent the whole day with Piper, just comforting her and holding her. Piper
couldn't say anything, she didn't have the strength to...but she had the love to say that she loved
her Leo. James was still amazed at what he had admitted earlier, although no one else had really
noticed or remembered it. He was shocked, he knew he loved Piper but he didn't realise what kind
of love it was until he was facing death - by her ironically. He was trying to think if what he
was feeling was real or if it was just messed up emotions in an insane situation.
Prue had arrived that late afternoon. Bane was staying at a motel overnight, he thought it would be
best if Piper could spend some time with just family. Phoebe and Paige had filled Prue in on the day's
events. It shocked Prue, but she did believe it because when you lose someone your emotions and
actions can surpirse you.
Later that night, Piper was still a train wreck. She hadn't eaten and hardly spoken. The others
cooked for her and give Piper time off. They had to do all their own cooking while Piper was out
of action, suprisingly it was paying off and the could now cook things that were actually edible.
They all sat at the table and offered her food. She didn't want to but she was starving. Piper
had calmed down now, but the others weren't going to push her to do anything. James was stitting
opposite to Piper, he couldn't help but look at her, and into her eyes when she drank some water.
He was trying to see if he really felt love for her. Piper was a stunning woman: great hair, great
legs, great ass, great personality. The more James looked at her, the more he thought he wanted her.
*What am i thinking?? She's my best friend for cryin' out loud. Just because she's hot doesn't
mean i have to like her...although i haven't kissed a girl for a while now. Aghh. Confusion is..
confusing.*
The room was silent for a second, then they all shielded their eyes. A bright light was eminating
from the shed outside. It went out and they could see again.
"What the hell was that?" Paige asked, rubbing her eyes.
"I don't know, but i'm going to check it out. Anyone else coming?" Prue asked them all.
"Yeah, just wait a sec so i can see." said Phoebe.
"Yeah i'll come too." Paige second.
Piper didn't seem to be moving so James offered to go too, he needed to be away from her. They
were heading out the door and Piper got up and followed. Prue was pleased to see Piper getting
involved in whatever they were about to find out.
The shed door was wide open, and the Book of Shadows was sitting on it's pedestal open to a page
instead of being hidden under the floorboards. They approached it and viewed the page.
"Whitelighters." Prue read, "Angels, like Guardian's, who protect witches. Every witch, or family
gets one, to watch over them, heal them whenever woudnded by an evil attack." Piper heard those
words and ran outside into the cool night air. "Piper..."
"Let her go Prue, keep reading." Phoebe insisted.
"Okay um..Whitelighters have the abilty to orb away at the sight of danger or by way of getting
around. They can also sense their charges when they call their name and are there to give guidance
and support to their charge/s."
Paige looked at the pictures below the writing. "They look human, i guess to blend in. And how come
they can orb like me? Does this mean i'm a Whitelighter too?"
"Wow, maybe. But you're a witch, how can you have Whitelighter powers? None of our parents were White-
lighters, Dad was mortal and Mom was a witch." Phoebe had so many questions." How come you can't
heal, and where the hell is our Whitelighter??"
"What i want to know is why Mom or Grams never told us about them, why we had to find out from 'The
powers that be.'" Prue couldn't believe they hadn't known about this before, they could have had
a much easier magical road if they had a Whitelighter.
"Maybe it was Mom or Grams that turned the pages just then." Phoebe said with a smile.
"Grr, i wish it had the name of our Whitelighter...if we have one so we could call them like now and
find out what the hell has been going on. You know, we might have been better prepared for Alec and
Leo would..." Paige was cut off.
"Still be alive." It was the first time James had spoken. He remembered hearing Grams saying something
about Whitelighters when he was younger, but he couldn't recall when and why.
Piper was outside seething at the thought of a Whiteligher. If they were supposed to protect us, then
where the hell are they?! Leo would be alive! Cole would be dead, maybe Cole is Evil. I want him
dead - so what if he's Phoebe's boyfriend? He hasn't contacted her since the fateful night, maybe
he led Alec to them and then took off after he had made Leo look like he was saving him. After all, it
would be really obvious if Cole just pushed Leo in the way of an energy ball!" Piper was yelling out
loud to the rest of them, standing in front of the shed, eyes wide open with a deadly stare.
"Piper, how can you say that?! Cole is innocent, and you shouldn't be contemplating killing innocents
now should you! Phoebe was quick to stand up for him.
"Alright, calm down you guys. Let's just work out what this whole Whitelighter discovery means okay?"
Prue said in a calm tone.
"Yeah, Whitelighters are the good guys, we just have to meet them." Paige added.
"If they were here earlier Leo would still be alive!" Piper said with her hands on her hips and
fury in her eyes.
*Damn, she is SO sexy when she's angry!* James was getting excited. *Shit!* He couldn't let them
know he was noticing Piper. *Control yourself James.* He looked away to get composed. *Yes! Oh thank
god, i'm only sexually atrracted to Piper, that's all.* James smiled and his thoughts were finally
clear. He knew Piper loved Leo, and he admired that, loving him even if he was gone. He was relieved
and it would feel wrong to love a woman who was in love with another man. James loved Piper as a friend,
nothing more, nothing less. That's how it always was, and always would be.
"Piper, maybe Leo died for a reason, remember Grams and Mom used to tell us that?" Phoebe tried to
knock some sense into her sister.
"I can't believe you, Leo wasn't supposed to die." Piper wanted to freeze her sister to stop her
saying these unthinkable things. "Maybe you wanted him dead too, you worked with Cole. How could you?!"
"I wasn't working with Cole, Piper. He's not evil and neither am i. We're good, this is how good
works whether you like it or not." Phoebe couldn't believe what she had just said in anger.
"Well in that case, maybe i don't want to be good anymore." Piper looked up and then vanished in
a cloud of purple smoke.
