Sorry for the wait ============================================
Leo stood up beside Wyatt a confused expression listed all over his face as he looked down at his oldest son. Everyone stopped bickering and looked over at him. Waiting for Wyatt to wake up and tell them that he was okay. But he didn't he just laid there motionlessly like nothing had changed.
"Why isn't Wyatt waking up? Leo, why isn't he waking up?" Piper asked, trying not to panic so quickly. Maybe it was nothing. A short delay with magic or something. He wasn't dead so he had to heal. Why wasn't he waking up? "Leo?"
"Piper calm down. Leo healed Wyatt. He's just resting. Right, Leo?" Paige asked with her hand cupping her sisters elbow as piper stood there shakily in shock.
=====================================================
Leo stood beside his son looking down on him confused at why Wyatt wasn't waking up and asked, "What happened here?"
Piper stood in shook. She watched her son and Leo simultaneously. She was waiting for one of them to tell her this was all just a big joke that she was a worrywart and that it was all going to be okay. Instead, they both were still in their positions on the landing.
She couldn't help but notice that Wyatt had broken a sweat since Leo had tried to heal him and now he looked even worse off then before.
Piper stood rooted to her place waiting to see her son open his brilliant blue eyes and look around as if in a daze. Then he would start getting up as if nothing had happened and in his embarrassment he would go and yell at them all for standing around doing nothing while he acted as if nothing had happened for them to worry.
She waited. When she didn't get what she waited for her brain started to shutdown.
"We actually don't know for sure," Paige responded with her hands on her hips. Her shoulders were thrown back with her long golden red hair back in a bun and a slight frown passive over her pale lips.
"I healed Wyatt. He should be awake right now," Leo replied as he glanced over his son.
On the outside there weren't any visible scars or wounds that were causing any pain for Wyatt to be suffering. Inside his mind was another deal. Leo couldn't save Wyatt's mind. Not even his newly probationed Elder powers that the Elders had finally decided he had earned could he save Wyatt.
Leo looked away from his son. Piper saw the pain evident in his luminous blue eyes. He surveyed the hallway and saw the damage that had been done there earlier. No wonder there had been an earthquake he realized as he looked over all the damage. It looked as if a war had started in the Halliwell Manor.
"Unless, of course, she did something to him that we don't know about." Paige responded.
It took that answer to wake up Piper's mind. It had been on automatic shutdown and now it was racing all over again. She quickly walked the few feet to where the girl lay over the hardwood floor she had mopped the night before.
She grabbed the girl crudely and started shaking her with all the strength she had. The girls head rolled over boneless shoulders as Piper shook her harder. She didn't care if she was hurting the girl. She was ready to kill her with her bare hands.
"You bitch. Wake up!" Piper slapped the girl's head hard onto the hardwood floor. "Tell me what you did to him. Tell me damn you!" she screamed into the girls unaware face.
Leo ran down the stairs to Piper and pried her bone white fingers from around the girls neck, somehow during it all she had started to strangle the girl. Her pain had started to slip away slowly the harder she pressed on the girls throat.
It had felt good.
The girl deserved to hurt after everything she had done to Wyatt.
Leo locked his arms around Piper trying to keep her from escaping his grasp in her violent attack of the girl. In anger of him holding her back from her revenge, she beat at his chest like a toy drum. She beat his chest as hard as she could trying to make him hurt as much as she hurt.
Leo's blue eyes were the only thing in her vision.
They were so like Wyatt's. She'd let Wyatt down. Now he was hurt. And she was the only one to blame. She wanted to kill.
Piper started crying into Leo's chest as she let him hold her and stopped beating him, "You can have me, you can turn me into ice, you can destroy my home, but you can't have him."
Leo shushed her lightly. His strong hands running through her dark brown hair as he did. He had seen Piper upset before but never this way. She was crazed with bloodlust and she was letting the bloodlust take over for her so she wouldn't have to think about what was going on. If she kept acting out this way she was going to kill the girl before they found out why Wyatt was still unconscious. . Leo touched Piper's head lightly and kissed the top of her forehead as he tried to calm her down. He had to admit he felt the same way towards the evil girl lying on the floor, but he wouldn't let Piper kill her. He wouldn't let Piper live her life knowing she was a killer. He held onto her tightly. Glad, that she was okay and still with him giving him the strength he needed to try to figure out what had happened to Wyatt.
"Leo, I'm scared," Piper admitted, staring up at him with her doe-like brown eyes.
"I know. Just be calm. We'll figure this out. We always do," he told her softly touching her face to soothe her. In that small fraction of a moment, it felt as if they were the only two people on the earth. He stared into her eyes and smiled gently trying to calm her down.
"Leo, she just appeared," Piper started to explain slowly coming out of her shock.
"Did Wyatt know her?" Leo asked, brushing a few strands of Piper's dark brown hair out of her face.
"No, I don't think so." she told him and looked over at Chris. "Did you know her, Chris?"
Chris looked at her with his dark piercing green eyes watching them quietly. It had been awhile since he had seen either of his parents together trying to protect one another.
It had also been awhile since Leo had been with them since he'd gotten his powers back from the Elders. Ever since then, Leo had been everywhere trying to help everyone. It was a surprise to Chris that Leo even knew he was going to have another baby.
Chris took a breath and shook his head, "I've never seen her before."
"So, what? She just felt like killing off a charmed one?" Paige asked, incredulously.
"No," Chris said, standing up straight with his arms still crossed over his chest. "No, there was definitely a motive. She was pissed off. Whatever Wyatt did or what she thought he did is exactly why she was here."
"Yet Wyatt didn't know her. There's definitely something wrong with this picture. I'm going to go see if I can find out anything from the Elders. Paige, you look in the book of shadows to see if there's any mention of her." Leo said, instantly falling into his roll again of commanding Elder. He looked back down onto Piper who was still in his arms and smiled sadly. He gave her a small kiss and kept his forehead leaning against hers as he spoke softly only to her, "Piper, will you be okay"
She nodded with her throat dry, "It's not me you have to worry about."
"I will be back as soon as I can." he told her and gave her another small kiss that she held onto as he orbed away.
Piper took a breath. She wished that Leo hadn't left her alone to deal with this. She wished she didn't have to deal with magic anymore. She wished her family didn't have to live every day of their lives with magic always rearing it's ugly head.
She looked as Chris and Paige who were watching silently from the sidelines. Both had been surprised by her outburst. Even she had been the same way with herself. She didn't look at the girl lying on the floor. If Piper did she knew she would just end up doing to the same thing to the girl until she was dead. The girl was no good to any of them dead.
Piper climbed up the few steps to the landing and touched her sons forehead. Pushing his blond hair out of his pale face as all of her worries came back to her, "He's burning up!"
"Her powers must be immune to Leo's healing. But how?" Chris asked, staring at the unconscious girl.
"Yeah, how? We're supposed to be the all powerful charmed ones. It doesn't make sense that one girl can possess that much magic. Don't the Elders watch out for this kind of thing?" Paige agreed, standing over the girl.
"They're supposed to." Chris said in a gravelly voice.
"Paige, orb her to the attic. Use the crystals like Chris suggested," Piper broke into their steady conversation.
Her reserves were up now as she took a few calming breaths. She was the oldest sister now and she had to take care of her whole family not just her son.
"Okay, but don't you want Wyatt upstairs first?" Paige asked, breaking her steady gaze and coming to stand beside Piper.
"No. Do what I say, Paige. Now!" Piper ordered.
"Okay, okay. Don't get so testy," Paige answered going back towards the girl.
"Paige, I might lose my son because of that thing. I'm not willing to keep her out in the open where she can kill us off one by one. Now do it!" Piper ordered. All of her feelings jumbling together as she did so.
Paige stared at Piper for a moment. Not sure of what to make of her as she took a hold of the evil girls hand. Then she orbed herself and the girl up into the attic. Hoping, that Piper knew what she was doing.
Leo stood up beside Wyatt a confused expression listed all over his face as he looked down at his oldest son. Everyone stopped bickering and looked over at him. Waiting for Wyatt to wake up and tell them that he was okay. But he didn't he just laid there motionlessly like nothing had changed.
