Chapter 30 - "you're learning a lot, aren't you."
"Hold up, what just happened?" James asked the sisters, "Where'd she go?" he was panicking. He hadn't
seen Piper disappear like that before. "Did she get a new power?"
"No James." Phoebe out her hands on her head. "She's turned to the dark side because of me."
"You don't know that Pheebs, maybe James is right, she just got a new way of travelling." Paige tried
to find a good explanation for this.
"Stop kidding yourself." Phoebe snapped back. "Oghh, i'm sorry Paige, i didn't mean to say that or
snap. I'm just frustrated and worried.
Prue was standing there, trying to think. "Let's scry for her."
"But she might be evil, Prue." Paige unwillingly admitted.
"She may well be, but she only just did a minute ago, so we have a good chance at getting her back."
"Okay, what are we waiting for?" Phoebe turned around and found the map and crystal. "Thank God she
didn't blow this up." Phoebe commented as she swung the crystal over the map.
"Don't you need something of Piper's to focus with to home in on her first?" James asked.
"Wow James, you're learning a lot, aren't you." Paige complimented. "Maybe i'll go get one of her
favourite plants.."
"Yeah, if there are any left." Phoebe remembered how Piper practically demolished her garden.
"I don't think we need something of Piper's. We are her family and friend," she looked at James then,
"So we'll just focus on our relationship as a connection." Prue said, hoping it would work.
They scryed for an hour and had no luck. Phoebe felt responsible for Piper leaving because of the way
she spoke to her sister; Paige felt responsible because she didn't visit Piper once during those first
four hard days after Leo's passing; Prue felt bad for not contacting Bane and Cole and trying to see
if they could have changed the situation or help Piper understand and James thought he could have been
there for his friend, instead of lusting after her and not being by her side when she needed it the most.
[Time lapse]
"This is rediculous, we can't get a read on her and it's been hours! She can't have up and left us!"
Phoebe was panicking and was really tired.
"It will be fine. You just need some sleep sweetie. We'll wake you if we find anything." Paige knew
it would be best if Phoebe went to sleep rather than ad to everyone's worrying.
Phoebe reluctantly got up and made her way to her room. She knew she wasn't going to get any sleep
with Piper missing but she had to try.
James saw how Prue was using all her strength to focus on Piper. She was working herself too hard.
Even though he wasn't magical, he knew scrying wasn't going to be the answer here. "Prue, Paige, she
might turn up in the morning, maybe she's just having a let out, and will be back and she'll move on."
"Thanks." Paige felt warm at the thought but there was deffiantely no guarantee that was going to happen.
"Thanks? You're thanking him? James, you don't know what you're talking about!" Prue threw at him.
"Prue! He's trying to help us feel better, that's all. We all got to get some rest, we'll pick back
up tomorrow okay." Paige said that in a monotone and held back her frustration, otherwise Prue
would come back with guns-a-blazing.
"Okay." Prue said and left the shed. But instead of going to her room, she lay across the couch
hoping to spot Piper coming through the doors. She also had thoughts of Bane and Cole on her mind.
Paige and James left the shed together after hiding the book. "She'll be back." They both said at the
same time, trying to re-assure the other. They both smiled and went to their rooms. There was a mutual
respect in the air.
(Leo's place)
Piper stood in front of Leo's un-finished house. It was dawn, and the sun was bathing the early morning
light over his house. It was as if it was glowing. Piper looked over and saw 'The White Light.' She
went over to hop in it. It was locked. That was easy fixed, Piper just misted inside the plane and
sat in the back. She was in the same spot as she was in on the first day they met, when Danny was
injured. She could remember falling for Leo's charms while in the plane, way before she got to know
him. Piper just smiled, she had no more tears to shed. After sitting in the plane for a while, Piper
decided to go inside the house, she may well have been able to live in with Leo. She walked through
the rooms, making mental notes of where she was going to put everything, so she and her soul mate could
live together without a care in the world. That wasn't the case, someboday took him away from her.
She could feel the anger rise inside her, and her powers were itching to take something out...or
rather, someone.
"Hold up, what just happened?" James asked the sisters, "Where'd she go?" he was panicking. He hadn't
