Chapter 4
"Ok, start the music" the wedding coordinator shouted as the men lined up to escort their respective woman down the isle. Prue and Cole, Paige and Drew and Phoebe with Justin were all ready to go as classical music filled the air. "Make sure you stay in step with the music ladies and gentlemen" "Oh give it a rest already lady" Paige snapped causing all in hearing range to laugh. "Be nice Paige, she just wants to make sure that everything is perfect for our sister's wedding and so should you. Besides we only have to go through it one more time and then we can all head out to dinner." Phoebe responded through short laughing fits. "I am, she's just really getting on my nerves" "Here, here" chanted Prue and Cole at the same time. Once more inciting giggles from the group. "Will the two of you shut the hell up and pay attention?" a very angry Piper shouted immediately silencing her sisters. "Fine, you don't have to take my head off" Paige shot back. "Keep annoying me and I just might" Piper replied with a sinister grin making everyone very uncomfortable. "Ok boys start escorting your ladies down the isle and remember count to ten before the next pair follows" The group did as they were instructed with Prue and Cole leading. "Great, next" the coordinator spoke. Paige and Drew now made their way down the isle. The second that the girl was next to Prue she spoke.
"Can you believe her?" "I know. I really did not like the way she spoke to us. She's acting nothing like herself. The second we have a chance we have to talk to Phoebe about this" "About what?" their soon to be brother in law asked as he glared at the girls. "Nothing that concerns you Leo" Prue said returning the stare. "Oh really because I think it does" "Well you're wrong" Paige spoke trying hard not to sound suspicious. "Whatever game the two of you think that you're playing you need to stop or it could prove to be very hazardous to your health" "Are you threatening us?" she spoke as Paige grabbed her hand. "No, I'm just stating a fact" the man smiled now greeting Phoebe as she took her place next to the others. "Is everything ok? You guys look as if you're engaged in quite the conversation" "Yeah we're good Phoebe" Paige spoke as she continued to stare down the demon/whitelighter. Before Phoebe could question the situation any further, the sound of the bridal music snagged her attention as she watched her sister walk down the isle. Once the rehearsal was over and all involved were satisfied with the outcome, the group made their way to the dinner hall.
As everyone took their seats Prue and Paige saw this as the perfect opportunity to let Phoebe in on their train of thought. "Hey Phoebe, we need to talk to you for a second?" "Umm sure. Hey Justin sweetie, I'll be right back" she shouted to her husband as she followed her sisters into the ladies room. "Ok guys what's this about?" Phoebe questioned as she watched her sister's check for any other patrons. "Ok here's the deal" Paige spoke "We think that Leo has Piper under some kind of spell" "Yeah, in case you haven't noticed she's been acting strange lately" the oldest sister added. "Now you know we wouldn't say anything unless we were sure and…" "Hey you guys don't have to convince me. I've seen the change in her first hand. Last night I past her and Leo's room and I could have sworn that I heard them talk about taking over the underworld. I dismissed it thinking that maybe they were talking about some demon that was looking to become the next source. But something didn't feel right about the whole thing." "Oh my God, that's it" Paige spoke "I think Leo is trying to become the new source. That has to be it." "So what do we do now?" Prue asked looking for some kind of input from her sister's until a voice rang out from behind her "What are you guys going to do about what?" Piper Halliwell asked as she made her way into the bathroom.
"You know it's not nice to conspire against your own sister" she said in a way that sent chills up the spines of all three women. Thinking quickly Prue spoke up "Actually we kind of got you a little something for your wedding and we were going to give it to you during the dinner party, but it's a day behind in shipping so we can't give it to you tonight" she finished giving the woman a hug. "Oh, well that's ok. I'm sure everything will work out fine as long as I get it before the wedding." "Of course you will sweetie" Paige said as she made her way over to the three women. "Well now that we have that settled, I say we head back to the party" she finished as she and Phoebe left out first. Pulling Prue slightly to the side Paige whispered "Something has to be done before it's too late and we lose her for good" Nodding in agreement Prue and Paige went to catch up with the others.
