I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did.
=================================================
It was unbelievably cold outside that night.
Piper, Phoebe, and Paige with shovels in their hands were slowly digging up Wyatt's past life's grave. Wyatt shone the flashlight down on them the whole time as he watched to make sure that no one came to see what was going on in the cemetery.
If they did they would get a surprise. They would see three very muddy women slowly digging up a century old grave. They would also see that they weren't doing it just for the hell of it, but they would see the determination to do it in each of their beautiful faces as they kept digging up more mud and dirt.
Wyatt stood solemnly staring at them as they dug. It was too weird to be standing right beside his old grave. It was insane to think that he had lived already once before. He wondered if he had evolved as much as his family kept telling him that he had. He also hoped that Victoria would see that.
"Ewww. This is so gross," Paige complained, wiping her forehead but somehow getting more dirt on herself then she had had before.
"Paige, stop complaining and dig," Piper ordered.
"This is so not how I planned on spending my Friday night," Phoebe told them as she shoveled up another shovel full of dirt.
"Agreed," Paige said.
"Oh, you guys. Suck it up. We've been through and seen worse then this. How's a little dirt and physical work really hurting this time?" Piper asked.
"Oh, really. Since when did digging up corpses get added to our resume," Paige asked.
"Hey, do you guys feel like you're in some scene from Night of the Living Dead or what?" Phoebe asked, laughing.
"There had better not be any zombies around here," Paige warned.
As she said it, they all hit their shovels into a hard surface. A thud resounded around them as they exchanged looks. It was about time. They had finally hit the coffin.
"Finally! I didn't think I could take anymore complaining from either of you two," Piper exclaimed happily.
"Guys this is so disturbing on so many levels," Phoebe said, looking down at the dark redwood coffin.
"Yeah, isn't it like a bad thing to dig up a person once they're buried?" Paige asked, worriedly.
"Oh, no. Sweetie, that only applies to Egyptian mummies and what not. Believe me, I know. My ex one time.." Phoebe started to tell her story, but was cut off.
"Can we just do this?" Piper asked, annoyed.
"Fine. I'll tell you later. It's actually an interesting story," Phoebe told Paige who nodded in response.
When wasn't it an interesting story when it applied to the Charmed Ones?
They all knelt down to the coffin together.
There they opened its lid and peeked in. A strong odor wafted out to tell them they had found a nice, juicy old corpse waiting for them.
Paige quickly let go of the lid and it dropped onto the ground beside the coffin as she tried to wave away the putrid smell. Phoebe looked down at the decomposing skeleton with a disgusted look in a stance to beat off any zombie willing to come at her, and Piper just looked at it with raised eyebrows.
"Just a dead guy. Okay, no biggie. I can do this," Paige said to herself aloud trying to get herself to move.
"Ewww. It stinks," Phoebe whined.
"Even more reason to get this over with fast," Piper told her motioning for Phoebe to get the shining ring off of the corpses index finger.
"You're kidding me right?" Phoebe asked, her eyebrows drawn together. "Piper, it's a dead guy! I'm not touching it."
"Well, I'm not touching it. Who knows what kind of germs I can get from him." Piper responded.
"Oh, don't revert to the germ excuse," Phoebe complained.
"Hey, I'm pregnant. I'm guaranteed the right to pass on this one," Piper told her with her hand on her hip.
"Oh, you suck." Phoebe said, pointing at her with slitted eyes. Then she turned to Paige, "Okay, Paige. Go for it."
"What? I'm not touching it," Paige cried in surprise.
"Paige, come on. We don't have a lot of time. Besides, you owe me," Phoebe reminded.
"How do I owe you?"
"Well, the last demon. I vanquished it. Since Piper gets a get out of jail card for being pregnant, it's your turn." she said, smiling.
"Eww. You! I'll get you for this," Paige said, jabbing her index finger at Phoebe.
Then, she went to peak into the coffin again. The disgusting smell along with the dead guy made her want to faint, but she didn't. She couldn't get to him the easy way she wanted to so she ended up gingerly placing her foot in the coffin in between the corpses legs.
Whatever you do just don't wake up, she told the corpse silently as she tried to get the ring off of his finger. It was hard to do. It was like the ring was super glued to his finger.
"Eww. Eww. Dead guy. Ewww. Oh, my god. His hand! His hand!" she shrieked.
In Paige's hand was the corpses decayed and bony gray hand. It looked weirdly as if she were shaking his hand as she pranced around in the small space she could in the grave shrieking hysterically at having the dead guys hand in hers.
"Get the ring! Quick!" Piper ordered her.
Paige did as she was ordered as the hysteria bubbled inside of her.
Disgusted, she threw his hand straight back into the coffin where it bounced off of the corpses bony chest and fell into the corner of the coffin. She was happy it landed there. Otherwise, she wouldn't have picked it up and put it back in its rightful place.
Instantly she climbed out of the grave and spastically rubbed the germs from the dead hand off of her and onto her clothes as she pranced around.
She almost looked as if she were doing some crazy insane jittery form of a dance. Then, when she was close enough to Phoebe she rubbed off some of the germs on her hands onto her back.
"Hey, watch it!" Phoebe cried, disgusted.
"What's wrong, Phoebe? A little freaked out?" Paige asked, giving her an inconspicuous smile.
Phoebe didn't answer. Instead, she made a creeped out face and tried to brush off the germs on her back.
"Alright, let's get out of here. This place is giving me the creeps," Piper announced picking up her shovel and wiping off any excess mud that she could get off of it.
"You're getting the creeps? I had to touch a dead guy!" Paige cried in annoyment.
"Well, look at it this way. At least he didn't go zombie on your ass," Phoebe told her grinning.
"Oh, you're so asking for it, Missy," Paige told her as she went to stand beside Wyatt.
