Chapter Five
"Come in, come in."
Bianca walked into the apartment she had shared with her mother, Lynn for a year when she had been 5 years old. She was standing in a living room with grey walls, a piano of light birch-wood, the casket open suggesting that someone had been playing just a minute before. Bianca's eyes traveled from the painting of a Phoenix burning up, piles of cushions, toys and other things that would belong to a 5 year old girl. She walked over to the cream colored couch and began throwing the cushions from the couch to the floor as if searching frantically for something.
"Is there anything I could do for you?" Lynn, had followed her grown-up daughter.
"Now, where's the Grimoire?" Bianca did not look up from her quest.
"I don't understand, how is this possible?" Lynn's voice had a tone in it that obviously annoyed her daughter.
Bianca sighed and said coldly, "Look, I don't have time for reunions okay? And I'm not about to make the same mistake a thousand other demons have made now so where's the damn book?!"
Lynn flicked her wrist and out came a silver plated book from underneath the coffee table. Bianca starts to shimmer out when Lynn's voice stops her.
"Wait. Can't I – Can't I help?" Bianca looks at her coldly again.
"Thanks for the book. And yes. One day when I ask you what it feels like to kill ... don't lie to me. Don't tell me you don't feel a thing." She shimmers out.
~+~+~+~+~+~
She shimmers back in the Manor.
"Bianca! Something's wrong with Chris!" Piper came out. "I tried calling Leo to heal him but he won't answer my calls."
"What? Where is he?" Piper leads her to the living room as Bianca puts the Grimoire in her bag.
Chris is lying on the couch a gaping wound in his chest. Half his shirt unbuttoned.
"What happened? Did anyone see anything?"
Piper nodded. "Yeah I came into the conservatory and saw a woman ... doing something to Chris.. I don't know what..." Bianca nodded and turned to Chris.
"Chris... what was she doing?" She ran her fingers through his hair tenderly.
He took a deep breath and replied.
"Draining... my... powers..." Bianca swore. She took out the Grimoire.
"Hey, hey, hey! Where'd you get that?" Piper demanded shrilly.
"It's mine. I have to use if I'm gonna save Chris..." Bianca hesitated looking at the book. She was still bound by her family: The Phoenix Assassins, her role she had to play in the past and her love for Chris. "You better be grateful when you wake up Chris Perry." She put her hands on his chest and unbuttoned his shirt more. The wound had spread. She put her hands to the wound and drained his powers more. The wound sealed as she got her hands away.
Piper looked at her distrustfully.
"What are you?"
