Together Forever:

Chapter 6: Rescue Mission

Leo sighed in irritation as the line got disconnected and ran up the stairs, looking in all the rooms, and then finally, the attic.

A man stared at him and smiled. "I can help you."

"Who are you?" Leo asked, glaring at him in suspicion.

"I can help you get your wife back. I'm a witch. And the demon that has your wife is my son," the man said, walking over to Leo.

"Are you sure that you're not a warlock?" Leo asked skeptically.

"My older sons' mother was a demon. I fell in love with her. But, I didn't find out until after she ran off, pregnant with my second son. I succeeded in stealing my youngest son from her, and I banished the demon from him. And I raised him as best as I could. As good as I could. But his brother got to him and changed him. Changed him to a warlock."

"How did you get here?" Leo asked, still not sure that he should trust this man.

"I used a spell. It was supposed to transfer me to your house. But I wasn't sure where it was going to drop me. I'm so sorry," he said, motion to Piper's favourite chair.

"Well, my wife should forgive you if you save her," Leo said, smiling a bit. "So, what's the plan?"

O.O

Cole shimmered into Leo's living room and looked around. "Leo?! Piper?! Is anyone home?!" he yelled.

He looked in the downstairs rooms and then ran upstairs and looked there. Finally he ran up to the attic, but didn't see anyone there.

Cole sighed. 'Phoebe's going to kill me. And it's not even my fault that I didn't get to check up on them,' he thought before shimmering away.

O.O

Paige woke up the next morning to find Cole and Phoebe talking on the other side of the room. "Hey. What time is it?"

Phoebe looked over at her and smiled. "It's about seven, honey. Cole checked up on Leo and Piper, but -"

"And?" Paige asked, sitting down on Phoebe's bed with the two.

Phoebe sighed. "But no one was home. And since it was around seven, someone should've been home. I'm really worried. I think that we should go back home.

"Well, you'll have to take a plane, because I'm gonna be busy," Cole said, before kissing Phoebe on the cheek and shimmering away.

Paige sighed. "I'll call the airlines and make the arrangements."

"We didn't have tickets back, did we?" Phoebe asked, putting her head in the hand.

Paige shook her head. "I was just supposed to orb us and our stuff home," she said before getting off the bed and grabbing the phone.

O.O

Leo woke up, rubbing his eyes, and smiled his first smile in the past couple of days.

The mysterious man, who he had come to know of as Michael, walked into his room. "We have to hurry if we're going to be on schedule."

Leo nodded and got up. After Michael left the room, he quickly got dressed, then ran down the stairs.

Michael was waiting for him. "No time for breakfast. We have a Charmed One to save," he said, grabbing Leo's hand and chanting a spell the dropped them right outside the warehouse.

O.O

The demon looked up quickly from carving a stick, then around. "Did you make any sound, witch?"

Piper smiled. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't," she said, said, struggling against her chains that were keeping her up on the wall.

The demon rolled his eyes and shook his head, looking back down at his knife and wood. "Witches . . . I'm so glad I turned my brother. Too bad I had to kill him. But, he was an idiot. He deserved it."

O.O

"He killed Frank?" Michael asked to no one in particular, his ear against the outside wall of the building.

"Well, Piper's attitude sure has changed," Leo noted, also listening in. "She a lot meaner. A lot . . . badder . . ."

Michael sighed and looked over at Leo. "Time for you to get your powers back," he said, handing Leo a potion.

Leo drank the potion quickly and smiled as he could feel a warm glow overtake his body as his powers were returned.

Michael smiled. "The door's probably locked, so you'll just have to orb us in. Do you remember the plan?"

Leo nodded. Then he grabbed Michael's arm, orbing them both inside the warehouse.

"Leo!" Piper yelled in excitement, smiling widely.

'She looks like shit,' Leo thought, smiling slightly to himself.

"Father!" the demon yelled, standing up immediately.

"It's the end of the line, Bryce!" Michael yelled, throwing a potion at Piper.

Piper smiled as that same warmed glow that overtook Leo overtook her, returning her powers to her. She quickly froze the demon.

Leo ran over to the demon, grabbed the key, then quickly unlocked Piper.

Piper stormed over to the demon and blew him up, then turned back to Leo, smiling.

Leo smiled back down at her. "I'm so happy that you're okay."

"And I'm so happy that you're okay, too. That demon, Bryce, as that man called him, was talking about sending demons after you."

"That doesn't matter now. Because obviously he didn't." Leo sighed. "Oh, Piper, I'm so sorry."

"No, I'm sorry. I'll try to stay in bed until you wake up from now on. Even if that means reading in the morning before I go downstairs," Piper said, about to kiss Leo. Then she gasped and fell on her husband.

Michael smiled from behind her, a bloody knife in his hand. "Time to say goodbye to your powers, white lighter," he said, throwing a potion at the two before shimmering away.

Cole shimmered in. His eyes went wide at the sight of Piper.

Leo held Piper close and looked over at Cole. "You have to shimmer us to a hospital! Please, Cole! I can't lose her! I've worked too hard to save her to lose her now!"

Cole nodded and ran over to the two, grabbing them and shimmering inside a closet in the hospital (An: Got that idea from Leo in the season finale. Hehehe.).

Leo quickly ran out with Piper and ran over to the front desk. "She got stabbed! You need to help her!"

The lady behind the desk nodded and called doctors down, who immediately showed up and took Piper into the ER.

Leo looked down at the floor as he sat in the waiting room, tears in his eyes.

Cole sighed. "She'll be okay, Leo. I promise," he said before walking into the closet and shimmering away.

O.O

"When's our flight home?" Phoebe asked Paige as they started repacking.

"Tomorrow morning at five," Paige said, shoving clothes into her suitcase.

"Why so far away?" Phoebe asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"All the rest of the flights are booked," Paige explained, sighing, sitting down on her bed.

"How lucky for us," Phoebe said sarcastically, throwing her suitcase down on the floor.

O.O

Cole walked back over to Leo from the closet, a young woman following her.

Leo looked up at the two. "Who's she?"

"A witch," the woman whispered, sitting down next to Leo. She threw some dust on him. "You have your powers back now. Go find your wife and heal her. I'll take care of everyone else," she added before getting up and leaving the room.

Cole watched her leave then looked back down at Leo.

Leo stood up and ran down the hallway (An: I don't know about you, but I'm seeing all his running in slow motion. It's so awesome.) towards ER as everyone froze in place. He stopped running and looked around. Then he looked up at the vent and noticed mist coming out of it, smiling. The young woman appeared next to him.

"Everyone's going to forget that Piper was here after the mist is done. So you'll have to hurry," she whispered before disappearing again.

Leo ran into the ER room and next to her, quickly healing her.

Piper gasped and looked up at him, smiling.

Leo took her in his arms and orbed back home. He set her down and started to kissing her deeply.

(An: Just imagine one of those romantic scenes where the couple passionately kisses continuously for, like, ever. That's what I'm doing.)

After, about, five minutes, Piper stopped kissing Leo, only to looked into his eyes lovingly and start back up again.

O.O.O.O.O

I really liked this chapter. I thought it was nice. I hope you guys thought the same! It was awesome to right. Hmm . . . Michael, Bryce, and Frank . . . Wonder where I came up with that trio of names . . . Oh, and if you didn't notice, Michael was the demon that Bryce sent after Leo. But he was actually Bryce's father. And his intention was to kill Bryce. Cause he's an evil daddy.

Anyway, the next chapter is going to be the last one. Yay! Finally! Good for me, bad for you! Anyway, review please! Ciao!
