Chapter Ten-

Piper had a plan. She knew that the only thing keeping Rose from moving on was a secret that existed in the past. Piper didn't know what the secret was, but she knew that Rose's boyfriend had a part to play. As far as Piper could tell Rose was suppressing the memory and it was holding her back.

As for why she wanted Wyatt, Piper could not come up with any logical explanation. Many theories, but nothing that actually amounted to anything. Maybe she thought that Wyatt had the power to free her. Maybe she just wanted to company, but with a baby? Maybe someone to take care of.

Then there was the question of how Rose got powers when she was Mortal. Why did Wyatt trust her as much as he did? Why did she call herself Celebrian?

Piper tried not to think of these things as she lay in the cold cell. She knew that Rose could read her mind. She pushed her questioning thoughts aside and thought instead of what she would like right now. A book would have been nice, with a little light to read it with. Of course she would also have loved her son, but she knew that Rose would let her do no such thing. Looking out the small crack in the far while Piper could see it was night.

She waited.

Rose tucked Wyatt into his crib and watched as he slept. He was so cute, and he looked so much like his father. Rose could hear Piper wishing for a nice book to read. She smiled. Piper was a fighter, she just wouldn't give up.

Rose sighed and walked over to her bookshelf. It was laden with hardcover books that had been read over and over. They were in tip-top condition, for Rose was a lover of book. They were her companions, her best friends. They told her their deepest secrets and trusted that she would keep them.

Her fingers ran across the dusted spines and came across one novel she particularly enjoyed. The Vampire Lestat. She pulled it out and with a wave of her hand it was on a tray, which had just appeared. It was crammed with food for Piper. Their were three plates of food she knew Piper particularly enjoyed. With it came a glass of cold milk.

Rook took a vial out of her pocket. She poured a little bit of the blue liquid into the milk, and watched as it dissolved, leaving not a trace. Rose smiled, and taking the tray she walked out of the room.

Piper looked up as the cell door opened and Rose walked in. Wyatt wasn't with her. Piper thanked whoever was listening that she didn't have to see her precious son with this creature.

"He is asleep, don't worry." She set the tray down.

"You know, you don't treat your guests very nice. The least you could do would be to give me a bed to lay one, a book to read."

"The book is on the tray."

"Then what about the bed?"

"Very well. I don't want your stay here to be more uncomfortable than it has to be, Piper. I would do nothing to hurt you, you know that."

"Then why won't you let me see my son."

"One thing at a time, Piper." With a wave of her hand the cold cell because a warm furnished rooms with windows that looked out into a sea of green tree-tops and wavy hills.

"It's beautiful."

"Thank you."

"Why are you giving me this? If I'm your captive, then why do you give me what I want."

"Because. I don't want to see you suffer, Piper. As for you son, that can not be prevented."

"Can I at least see him." Once again Rose waved her hand, and on the right wall appeared a holograph of her son, sleeping peacefully in a bassinet which seemed to be embroidered with gold.

"Thank you Rose."

Rose smiled, and with a nod of her head she disappeared.

"Hope you enjoy the book", an echo said, around the room. The same echo Piper heard the day her son had been kidnapped from her. The holograph had disappeared with Rose, but the picture remained in Piper's heart.

Piper gulped down the water thirstily, and then glanced at the book. The Vampire Lestat, interesting choice. Piper quickly sat down on one of the newly found chairs and closed her eyes. Slowly she started chanting.

"Memories of the past forgotten

in her mind they slumber

waiting for the time when

they can come and open

the truth which keeps her here

and does not let her move on

suppressed by her fear

I will her to remember

That which she fears"

A/N- i know it sucked, but bear with me. I'm not very good at the spell thing yet!
