Chapter 6: Never say goodbye

Water and sand was all they needed to get away from there life and the choices they had to make, but is it really that easy to get away from everything?

Lana and Hunter sat in the water holding on to each other both not caring that there clothes where wet and that they would probably catch colds they just wanted to be together.

"What are you going to do know since your human?" "I don't know I'm sure I'll find something."

They let go of each other and started swimming back to the shore. "That's not fair you cheated Hunter I'm gonna tell my daddy." said Lana in a pouting baby voice. "No please don't." said Hunter then he picked her up in his arms and then he kissed her. They broke apart, "You know how long I've wanted to do that?" "Let me take a guess; just then." They kissed again but this time Lana kissed him first and they kept kissing.

Lying on the sand just holding each other now and Lana asked, "Are you scared?" "I'm not scared about us being together anymore, but if you mean by what could happen now that I have killed the source that I used to serve then the answer would be yes. I just try not to think about it."

Little did they know as the sun was setting something shimmered into the shadows that where just now being cast onto the ground; it was watching and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Meanwhile back at the manor...

"Cole how can you be so insecure of your daughter right now?" "Phoebe I don't trust this guy he... I just don't trust him." "I think you are afraid that your daughter, my niece is headed in the somewhat same relationship as you and Phoebe had."

Cole just looked at Paige and knew she was right but he still didn't trust Hunter. Isabella came downstairs and asked, "Aunt Piper what are we having for dinner?"

Before Piper could answer Phoebe asked, "Isabella Turner what do you have on?" "Some of Lana's old things." as soon as she finished that sentence Isabella was over come with a premonition.

"Isabella what's wrong, what did you see?" asked Cole. Phoebe bent down and touched her young daughters' forehead and saw what she saw and then she was out of the premonition. "Mom please don't go." "I'm sorry sweetie I have to. I have to help Lana. I promise I'll come back."

Piper and Paige stood up as well, "You two can't go I'm sorry. I have to do this alone." With that said she got up and ran to her car keys and then she walked out the door going to her car.

Meanwhile back on the beach...

The sun had gone down by now and that something came out of the shadows and said, "Isn't that cute. Zolar and the little witch are in love. You know Zolar I have to thank you for killing the source he was getting predictable, but now I'm going to kill you and your little witch."

Hunter and Lana just stared at the black and grey demon walking towards them. "Deuel, your going down first." said Hunter. He lightly pushed Lana behind him and conjured a fireball and an energy ball in both hands. Deuel just conjured to energy balls. Neither noticing Lana shimmer away.

Lana stood behind Deuel and froze him and then she shimmered back to Hunter. "Did you freeze him?" "Yes. I guess its one of my powers, but that doesn't matter right now we have to leave I don't know how long it will hold."

It was too late the freeze had worn off and Deuel threw both energy balls at the couple, but Lana hit the ground; she saw Hunters' fire and energy balls hit Deuel and then she heard a thud beside her. She looked and saw Hunter just lying there not breathing, moving or anything.

She wanted to check on him but she had to protect herself as well. "I call upon the powers that are unknown to me to come forward and help me in this time of need."

She waited but nothing seemed like it happened once she said the spell. "Did your little spell not work?" taunted Deuel.

Lana was mad and all of a sudden she thought about throwing Deuel out in the water and all of a sudden he was in the water.

Deuel shimmered back to shore. "Nice try witch." Lana felt a burst of energy course threw her veins; she held out her hands and a blue beam shot towards Deuel. She saw it hit him and he was engulfed in flames.

She was amazed at what she had done but she knew she had no time to be excited she had to get back to Hunter.

Meanwhile...

Phoebe got out of her car. Thanks to Isabella's power to share her premonitions with Phoebe she was at the beach hoping that she wasn't too late.

She saw the back of Lana's head and ran as quick as she could over to her.

She finally reached her daughter and said, "Lana I'm so sorry." Lana turned her head towards her mom, "Why? I'm crying over him and nothing's happening; why mom?"

For once Phoebe was at a lose for words. "I...I don't know."

Lana had tried everything she could do and since her waking tears had no affect on Hunter, but with everything she tried nothing would bring him back to her. She let Phoebe comfort her and then said, "He was my first love and now he's dead because of what we felt towards each other. I don't know what to do mom."

She didn't give me any comforting words she just whispered in my ear, "Take us home." I did as I was told but I went back for Hunter's body and took him back to my home as well.
