CHAPTER XI

OOO The Black Void In-Between OOO

"Are you ready?" Leo asked her, his hand stiffly on her shoulder.

She shrugged in response. Was she ready? How was she supposed to tell?

"How does it work?" Piper asked instead.

"It's simple, white magic vs. black, only that will all be happening inside of you." A female elder explained.

Piper was taken to elder land, the only place outside the manor where she was safe from the Source, Rassalas, and the other demons. She was taken there for the elders to give it a try at turning her back. Turning her good.

"I will be here the whole time Piper; you're not alone in this." Leo's voice assured.

Though Piper was not sure just yet.

"Piper… allow me?" The female elder stepped up. Piper nodded, and the elder continued explaining;

"This is not a common process that we practice. In fact- we've never really preformed it before. But if all else failed, I believe that a boost of good magic from us, the elders… it just might work." She explained.

Piper was listening closely, doing her best in comprehending every word.

"And if it doesn't work…?" Piper asked, hesitantly.

The elder sighed.

"Unfortunately, that I cannot answer. But I can't imagine that things can get… can get…uhh-"

"They won't be any worse then they already are." Leo filled in.

Piper nodded, understanding all to well.

"Alright then, we shall begin." Another elder said, walking forward. Aside from the female elder who talked to her, none of them seemed excited about any of this, or about her being up there. In fact, they were kind of rushing to start, and finish ASAP.

Leo pressed his hand on her shoulder, motioning her to sit down on the chair she stood next to.

Following that, Leo took a step back, nodding to her, reassuring, and the elders walked closer to her.

Eventually, there was a circle of elders around her, all looking at her.

"Is it going to hurt?" Piper asked in a small voice.

"It shouldn't..." The female elder said.

"Ok. I'm… I'm ready." Piper said.

The elders extended their arms forward, and Piper shut her eyes tightly. Whatever would happen, maybe she won't even feel it. It will probably be over before she even knew it.

The elders chanted a spell from which Piper hardly understood a thing. Though, she wasn't trying to.

Seconds later she felt a breeze from every direction leaving her shivering in-between. Next the breeze went right inside her, feeling so cold against all the burning evil inside her. So that's what Good felt like… she had almost forgotten.

Soon she got used to the colder feel and started liking it. After those years of carrying evil inside, it was suiting. It wasn't until later that Piper realize that the good and evil she was feeling was starting to fight… it was almost becoming painful. And then, it was painful. Maybe even too much for her to bear. She had felt this before; only last time it was the source that was performing the ritual, it was Evil that was invading in her. This time it was the Good.

Then, in the midst of her inner battle, her world went black.

A baby was crying… where was it coming from?

Piper spun around, but it was all just a black lot, clouds of black against her skin. Suddenly, as she turned to look into a new direction, she saw the little blond boy, standing on the ground just next to her, in tears.

Wyatt. He had grown even older since the last time she saw him.

Why was he here? In this black void?

What was that place anyway?

And then Piper realized. It was the place between good and evil. The in-between of the world.

How long had Wyatt been here?

Piper bent down, and scooped her baby up to her arms. She didn't know how to hold him properly, but he didn't complain. His small fingers grabbed the fabric of her clothes tightly, as if he would never let go.

Piper held on him tight, closing her eyes. Was he real? It must have just been his soul… but it was good enough for her. Piper knew what she had to do now… she had to get her son out. Out of this neutral black void which he had been probably stuck him from the day she gave birth to him.

And now she knew; Wyatt was not Evil… he wasn't good either. He was in the middle. He still had hope.

She ran her hands through his soft hair… so soft, so gentle… it was her little boy.

Soon, she felt a force trying to pull her away. She held on tightly to her Wyatt, hoping she'd be able to take him with her… she couldn't watch her son being taken away from her… not again.

But whatever was pulling her out was too strong. Piper's arms couldn't hold on to Piper anymore, and Wyatt was forced to release his hold of her clothe.

Then… boom. She was not in the black any longer.

She realized she was panting, hard, and she was on the floor. She opened her eyes, hoping she was still in that black void with her son, but everything around her was white.

She was back in elder land.

"Piper!" Leo's voice called.

"Piper! It worked!" He continued.

He pulled her up from the floor, and she had to lean against him not to fall back down. Leo held her tightly, whispering in her ear over and over… "It worked Piper... It worked…"

She tried to tell him… that it didn't. She couldn't bring Wyatt out with her… but she had to catch her breath first.

"It was a tough battle, but we were able to pull you out. We almost lost you in the neutral dimension." The female elder was saying, sounding more cheerful then before.

So she was right… it WAS the in-between of good and evil… she had to go back.

"You need to get me back there!" Piper finally let out.

They all stopped talking and looked down at her.

Leo, who was still holding her against him for balance, pulled her away a bit to look into her eyes, as if checking if she was serious.

"What are you talking about Piper?" he asked, carefully.

"I have to go back…" She whispered.

"Leo, take her home. She needs to rest… it will take her a while to adjust." The elder was saying.

"No…" Piper mouthed, but she wasn't able to make any voice come out.

"Ok." Leo said, sounding serious now. "Will she be ok?" He asked.

"She should be ok soon." The elder nodded, and after that, all Piper saw was bright blue lights around them. Somewhere while they were orbing Piper closed her eyes and went into unconsciousness, where she could see her son again; remember the few moments she had with him.

OOO

"And they said that it worked for sure?" Paige asked, for the fifth time.

"They think it did…" Leo said, his eyes on Piper's figure on the couch.

"And what if it didn't?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't know, Phoebe." Leo repeated.

"I know. I know… I'm sorry." Phoebe leaned back in her chair, covering her face with her hands.

"What did she mean by wanting to go back?" Paige asked.

"I can't know that either Paige… she must have been confused." Leo suggested.

Paige was starting to ask something else, but Leo suddenly noticed that Piper's eyes were open.

He got up from his chair and headed her way.

"Piper? Are you there?" He asked, kneeling next to the couch.

She blinked a few times, looked around, then sat up at once.

"It's ok… everything is ok…" He tried to suit her, and her sisters were now kneeling next to him too.

"Wyatt." Piper said, her voice clear.

Leo saw Phoebe and Paige looking confused.

"He's not here honey…" Leo tried.

"He was in there!" She yelled. Leo was taken aback.

"Who is she talking about Leo?" Phoebe asked.

"Our son." Leo summed up quickly. It seemed to satisfy Phoebe and Paige as an answer.

"He is stuck in that place Leo!" Piper continued, grabbing Leo's shirt tightly and staring into his eyes with that vicious look.

"What place?" Leo asked, weakly.

"The black… the in-between. He is stuck there Leo! STUCK!" She was screaming.

"Shh…." He begged. He was feeling that painful sting in his heart again.

Leo understood what Piper was saying very well… he knew about the Neutral Plane… It was where all the creatures who belonged to neither side existed. That was where their soul was trapped. It was a void of confusion and bewilderment. And that's where their son was trapped.
