Chapter 5: What Have You Done!

"Where am I?" Paige asked, she was unaware of her two dead sisters standing beside her. "Piper?" She turned and saw Prue and Phoebe standing there. "Oh my God!"

Piper slowly stood, tears in her eyes, as moved toward her sisters. All four embraced, Prue and Phoebe not saying a word, they looked completely stunned. "Piper, what's going on, where are we?" Prue asked, stepping back.

Paige moved closer to Piper and asked, "What did you do to bring them back? I remember we tried everything we could and we couldn't."

"Bring us back!" Phoebe inquired.

"Ok, we want an explanation, now!" Prue demanded of her two sisters. Paige looked at Piper and backed away, shaking her head.

"I don't know how this could've happened," Piper stated. "It's not possible." She paused, "is it?" She looked to Leo, who had been watching the scene unfold before his eyes.

"What's not possible?" Phoebe said, "I don't remember anything after being attacked by Lord Voldemort."

"Neither do I," Prue admitted.

"What do you last remember, Paige?" Leo asked her.

"I was in my apartment making myself a sandwich, and the next thing I knew I was here." Prue and Phoebe looked at her like she was crazy or something.

Piper knew what she had to do. She had no choice but to tell her sisters that they had been killed by Voldemort, when he attacked them three years ago. She sighed and started talking, "Prue, Phoebe, listen to me. You two were killed trying to defeat Voldemort three years ago. Paige and I moved out of the manor a week after you're funerals. And now somehow you've come back from the dead."

"What!" Prue and Phoebe said in unison. "We're not dead, we would've known if we were."

"It's true," Paige said, "I watched you two die and Piper nearly died herself."

"But what I can't figure out is how you've managed to return to us, with no memory whatsoever of being dead. It's like it never even happened," Piper said. Leo suddenly looked at her like she had said something that was completely right about what brought Prue and Phoebe back.

"Wait, a minute," he said, everyone looked at him. "What if it never did happen?"

"Don't be ridiculous, honey," Piper said, "I saw for my self that they did in fact die." Paige nodded her head, indicating that she had too.

"No, I mean it," Leo insisted. "What if," he indicated Ron lying on the bed. "He changed the past and in doing so caused Prue and Phoebe to never have died. That would explain why they have no memory of dieing or being dead."

"Leo you said yourself that the past cannot be changed," Piper told him.

"No, what I said was that you cannot change your own past. You can still change anyone else's past."

"But that still doesn't make sense, it is Ron's past."

"Not necessarily. Which means that you couldn't be-" Leo was cut off by Piper.

"Soul mates." She sat down on the corner of the bed; she was the only one still standing.

"So, if that is what happened, then does that mean that Lord Voldemort is back too?" Paige asked.

Piper shook her head, "I don't think so, because Phoebe and Prue were killed by him. Nothing would've stopped him from attacking us, even in the past. The only thing that makes sense is it that-" she got up and moved to the other side of the bed where the unconscious Ron still lay. She put a finger on his neck to feel for a pulse; not surprisingly, she didn't find one. Piper looked up, sadness on her face, "he sacrificed himself to save us."

"But why?" Prue asked moving over to her sister.

"Maybe because he found out that you two weren't soul motes," Phoebe suggested.

"No," Leo said, "I think that he found out that we're soul mates." Piper looked at Leo surprised.

"How do you know?" she whispered, she was crying for Ron.

"Because White Lighters do know a thing or two about the past lives of their charges," he smiled and took her in his arms.

"This is too much for me to handle in a day," Piper sobbed.

"I know sweetie," Leo soothed. "Why don't you just lie down for a while, I'll set some places for your sisters to sleep on tonight, and see what I can do with Ron's body. Then we can sort this all out in the morning. Ok?"

Piper nodded, and closed her eyes, letting her final tears fall onto the pillow as a deep sleep took over her.

"What should we do?" Prue asked.

"Nothing at the moment, just leave her be," Leo said, "come on, lets go downstairs." Prue, Phoebe and Paige had a lot of questions they wanted to ask, but they figured that right now wasn't the right time, so they just went downstairs with him. "You guys hungry? I think Piper left some meat out that I can cook." They nodded and sat down at the table, Paige however didn't.

"Um, Leo?" she asked.

"Yes?"

"I'm go and get some things from my apartment that I need to spend the night with. I'll be right back, I promise."

"Ok." She orbed out. "Prue? Phoebe? I know you two aren't much cooks, but could you watch these burgers and flip them when they need to be. I'm going to go and see what I can with Ron."

"Sure," They both said, and rose out of their chairs.

It wasn't long before Paige and Leo returned. Piper hadn't come down, so they just left her alone. By the time they had finished eating dinner, it was getting close to midnight and the four decided to call it a night. They went to bed wondering what tomorrow would bring them.
