This chapter starts up right where Chapter13 ended, just so you all know…
Oh, and thanks to piper xox leo my Chapter 14 co-writer/amazing idea comer-up-wither! Ur awesome!
Phoebe and Prue ran into the attic and to the Book of Shadows. Phoebe started flipping through it.
"What are we looking for?" Prue asked.
"I don't know…Anything!" Phoebe was panicking.
"What did you see?"
"I--I saw a whole bunch of things. Piper, she's been working with the other side…" Phoebe shook her head. "This book is useless…"
Piper opened the attic door. Phoebe, startled, gave a little scream. Prue used her power and closed the door, pushing Piper out.
"Phoebe, what did you see? Phoebe! Phoebe, open the door! What is it? I need to talk to you!"
"The hell you do! How dare you work for the other side?" Prue screamed.
"Please, just let me explain!" Piper pleaded with her sisters.
"Not a chance!" Prue yelled. She turned to Phoebe. "My God, Phoebe! What did you see?"
"Piper and Leo! They're working together! They were--Oh God, I think he turned her to the other side…"
Prue looked over at Phoebe, who was making no progress. "Move over, let
me look." Phoebe moved to the side, and Prue used powers to flip through
the book. She came to something that she thought would work. "Perfect…"
Phoebe looked at the page Prue was holding down. "Truth Spell".
"For those who want the truth revealed.
Open Piper's heart, her secrets unsealed.
From now until it's now again,
After which her memory ends.
For those who are now in this house.
Shall hear the truth from Piper's mouth."
"No, please--"Piper started. A glow fell over her body, and she couldn't remember what she was going to say.
"Piper, why did Phoebe have a premonition of you and Leo? Why were you together?" Prue asked through the door, leaning against it as she spoke.
"B-B-Because..." Piper started. She didn't want the words to come out, but they spilled out of her mouth before she could stop herself. "Because Leo and I didn't want one of us to have to marry Cole."
"What did he care?"
Piper pushed against the door, trying to get inside. "I threatened him! He was trying to find his family! He wanted to find his family and return to Good, but he wasn't sure. I told him I could help! I could! I did! So we became partners to try and stop the marriage. But it had to be in secret…Then we started falling in love, and we wanted to stop loving each other, but we couldn't and--"
"Okay, that's enough!" Phoebe yelled in disgust. "How could you work with evil?" she asked.
"He is not evil!" Piper yelled in defense before she could stop herself. "He is a great man, as evil as you say he is, he's good, and he's kind and a-a--" Piper shut her mouth to stop the words from coming out.
"What else is he, Piper?" Prue taunted, knowing her sister would have to answer.
"A great kisser!" Piper forced out.
"Oh my God…" Phoebe groaned. Her mind replayed the premonitions. "She's not lying," Phoebe told Prue quietly. "She's kissed him God knows how many times."
Prue rolled her eyes. "She's betrayed us. Look through the book, and find a way to--to freeze her or something, or at least knock her out. I'll keep talking, and make her tell us more."
Phoebe nodded and flipped through the Book of Shadows.
Outside of the attic, silent tears were falling from Piper's eyes. Leo had known someone was going to figure everything out, and now they had. He had warned her, and she had brushed him off. And now here she was… I'm going to get it… Piper told herself. As long as my sisters don't kill me first…
"What else have you done with him?" Prue teased mischievously.
"Prue!" Phoebe said warningly, cutting Piper off. She listened from the other side of the door, thankful she was stopped from answering. "I thought you were going to find something useful!"
"Right!" Prue nodded and turned back to the door. "So, what was your plan to try to stop the marriage?" Prue asked.
Piper started to answer, but just then Leo orbed in.
"Piper, what the hell are you doing?" Leo hissed.
"Prue cast a truth spell on me so I have to tell her everything," Piper answered sadly. "I don't want to tell her, but I have no choice."
Tears started to fall from Piper's eyes again. Leo's angry face melted as he saw how hard this was for her. "I knew you would be angry at me if I told somebody. You knew this was going to happen, and I just didn't want to believe you." Piper sniffled before continuing.
"Phoebe had a premonition this morning, and I think it was of everything that's been happening in the past three months. I-I'm so sorry, Leo. I didn't mean for this to happen." Piper's voice was soft as she continued to cry.
"It's okay," Leo said, pulling Piper toward him.
"Piper, stop fighting the spell. Tell me what your plan was!" Prue yelled, she and Phoebe both oblivious as to what was happening just outside the door.
Leo looked down at Piper and closed his eyes. He tried to process everything that was happened.
"We don't have a plan yet," Leo answered in Piper's voice. Piper
looked up at Leo in shock, her mind reeling with disbelief.
"They don't have a plan," Prue informed her little sister.
"Great. Neither do we. I can't believe Piper kept all of this from us for this long…" Phoebe shook her head in frustration. She stopped at a page in the Book of Shadows. "No, that won't work," she muttered.
"How did you do that?" Piper asked softly.
"It's a power I stole years ago from a warlock," Leo answered in his own voice.
"How long, Piper?" Prue yelled.
"How long what?" Piper questioned.
"How long has this been going on?"
Piper bit her lip and looked up at Leo. He nodded. "Three months…We've
been working together for three months…" She closed her eyes and leaned into Leo's chest again.
"Ask her how long she's been sleeping with him," Phoebe said, still flipping through the Book.
"What? You slept with him?" Prue screamed.
"Yes!" Piper screamed back. She clamped a hand over her mouth. "Sorry," she whispered as a tear slid down her cheek.
"Oh my God, Piper! This is sick!" Prue said. A little rightful went off inside her head. "So that was Leo I heard with you when you were crying!"
"Yes!" Piper lowered her head. "Oh, God, Leo, I am so sorry…" Piper sobbed into Leo's chest. "I love you," she whispered, giving him a tight hug.
"I love you too, more than I think you realize."
Piper smiled, but Leo's expression changed. He looked worried.
"What? What is it?"
"Somebody's calling…It's Decima…He's angry, Piper…"
"Go. It's safer for you to be anywhere but here."
"I can't leave you."
"Go," Piper pleaded. "I can't let my sisters hurt you. They won't kill me or anything…"
"Piper…"
"Leo, go, before you get into trouble with Decima."
Leo stared at Piper for a few seconds. He kissed her passionately. "I love you."
"I love you, too. Please just go."
Leo reluctantly orbed out.
Piper turned back toward the door. Her sisters had been quiet in the attic. "Please let me explain!" she tried.
"After we vanquish Leo, maybe!" Phoebe yelled.
"What? No! Please, no!"
Prue jerked around to face her sister. "You can't vanquish a whitelighter," she whispered.
"I know! But Piper's too upset to remember that!"
"Ooh, good." Prue had a sudden idea. Piper had started pushing against the door, wanting in, and she'd been leaning against it to keep her out. "Get the crystal cage!"
Phoebe ran from the Book of Shadows over to a trunk. She opened it up and dug through it until she found the four crystals. "Got 'em!"
"Set them up!"
Phoebe scrambled to set up the crystals as Piper pushed harder on the door. Prue strained to hold it closed.
"Done!"
Outside the door, Piper got a sudden idea as well. "Why didn't I think of it sooner?" she scolded herself. She backed up a step and blew the door up.
Prue flew across the room, landing on the couch. Piper ran inside and Phoebe set the last crystal down. The invisible cage went up, but Piper didn't notice. She stepped forward and was electrocuted. She fell back.
"Prue! Phoebe! Let me out!"
"Not until we can either bring you back to Good, or kill Leo."
Prue stood up slowly. "We're not losing another to Evil, especially not our own sister."
"I'm not lost, Prue! I'm still good! Remember the demons we've vanquished? Remember the warlocks we fought last week? Remember? I'm good! I'm not evil, Prue!"
"Says you." Prue looked at Phoebe. "If we can't bring her back--"
Phoebe cut her off. "We're not vanquishing our sister, Prue!"
"What?" Piper panicked. "What do you mean? You can't vanquish me! I'm your sister! I'm not a demon! I'm not evil!"
"We have to vanquish the whitelighter," Phoebe stated.
"What?" Piper screamed.
"How?"
"Darklighter."
Piper was crying again. "Please, no…" she sobbed.
"It's not our choice, Piper. It's our only hope of bringing you back to us."
"I'm right here! I never left! I'm not evil! I never was! I'm a Charmed Once, a protector of the innocent, a good witch!"
Decima paced back and forth in the room. Bianca tried to stop him, but he ignored her.
Leo orbed in.
"Where the hell have you been?"
"I've…been following a couple of witches. I stopped their plan to vanquish one of our demons," Leo covered for himself. "What is it?"
"There's an upsurge of Good in San Francisco, under the bridge. You've been spending so much time on earth…Go check it out. Fix it."
Leo nodded and orbed out.
"Samantha."
"Leo…"
"You already know…?" Leo guessed.
"Yes, I do. I know everything…" Samantha took in a deep breath. "Leo…I don't know what to tell you…I'm happy that you've done so well in finding yourself, even through a Charmed One. She's helped you back to Good. I'm glad…But I'm afraid you may have gone too far…"
"There's--"
"No turning back, I know…But now Piper's sisters know."
Leo was silent.
"They're coming after you next."
"I know."
"No, Leo, you don't." Samantha shook her head. "They will hunt you down. They're going to find a darklighter…They'll send him after you."
"They won't find me. The darklighter won't come near me."
"You don't know that. They think their sister is evil. They'll do anything to try to save her. They'll have the entire Underworld after you."
"They can't come to the Houses."
"They can…and they will. I don't know what you can do now…"
"I'll find a way."
"I'll do what I can…I can keep some demons from attacking you, but there's only so much…"
"I know…"
"Watch your back. I'll stay in contact."
"Stay away from earth unless it's an emergency. Decima sensed you, and he expects me to get rid of you."
"Me?"
"Well…A surge of Good, at least."
"Very well…Be careful…" Sam paused for a few seconds. She smiled. "Blessed be." She disappeared in a swirl of wind and white lights.
Thanks again to piper xox leo!!!
By the way, I have a feeling that this is going to be a very long story…I don't know if that's good or bad…
