Innyway… two next chapters are almost all planed out, though I still don't have the main plot. But that's what I like about my writing – I have no idea where it will take me… This chapter isn't quite that interesting, but I had to add for the background information, so please be patient with me. Perhaps it will even develop into something mildly nice, stranger things have happened shrugs

Darkness spread, slinking sluggishly around him, as he orbed out of the harm's way, rematerializing few feet away and staring into Piper's disappearing back, enraged. Wrath boiled inside, building up slowly, sinking its poisonous claws into his peace of mind. He growled in frustration, kicking the nearest trash bin and was surprised to see it fling across the alleyway. He paused, frowning, looking around.
The rage instantly subsided and he found himself baffled by his own reaction. This wasn't like him at all. Leo wasn't fond of rage. He much preferred his usual calming smile, mild façade of concern, and perhaps even slight worry in his eyes; but never as long as he remembered himself was he easy to rage.
It is her work,he thought accusingly, though he felt nothing negative to this affirmation – it was a statement and nothing else. He kept gazing into the darkness after she shimmered out and found himself oddly tired. He hasn't been able to concentrate for three months now... ever since that night.
The utter darkness of the damp cave, located miles underneath the human surface, was dotted with dozen of burning torches, blazing with fiery, depleting the lair of much needed oxygen. Three witches, the most powerful witches in the whole world known as the Charmed Ones, were tied down and caged in the middle of the cave. Piper's slender figure sauntered leisurely around the cage, trailing an index finger upon the bar. She smirked at the threesome and stepped back, sensing the arrival of new guest.
The cave flashed with bright light as the Source appears, engulfed in searing flames. Piper bowed slightly as the flames dissipated, revealing a tall malevolent figure wrapped in black robes. She straightened up, hearing him draw a raspy inhale and sensed he was mildly displeased.
"Bellatrix…" he spoke, his voice oppressing and threatening. "Change into your own form… your human sight sickens me!"
Piper frowned and did as he said, willing herself to change. The transformation process wasn't painful in the least, in spite of many speculations. Her body was merely plagued with goosebumps as the skin shifted and her built changed, leaving her in her demonic self. She became a head taller and more broad-shouldered; her fair skin darkened into brightly deeper shades of red with black markings, she never found that interesting; her eyes became jet black and her teeth sharpened into jagged canines; and finally a change was made on the inside as well, when she realized the transformation has ended and she was hating her demonic side almost as much as she hated humans.
"That is much better…" proclaimed the Source and strolled to the cage. "Ah… how long have I waited… Charmed Ones, trapped and soon powerless. One could not believe this…" he sounded almost giddy as his eyes studied every witch separately. "Soon, your powers will be mine…" he released a bone chilling laughter and backed away, heading to his throne on the opposite side of the cave.
Bellatrix glanced at the Charmed Ones before following the Source, her eyes landing on Paige, who was her way into their untrusting circle. Her black eyes revealed nothing but endless abysses as she snarled a smile and ignited two large energy balls in her hands.
She appeared in their lives a year ago, claiming to be a novice witch who needed guidance. She befriended Paige quite quickly, playing on her need to have someone outside the family to talk about their 'secret', and gained the Charmed Ones' trust stunningly easy. Even he was totally fooled by the shy and sweet exterior and very quickly found himself feeling more towards her than what he felt towards his other charges. Of course they had no idea she was sent by the Triad to penetrate their 'family' and wreak destruction from within. When they did found out it was already too late and Paige was lured onto the dark side. She was shocked back to reality upon seeing someone attack her oldest sister, Prue, but by that time all three witches were captured. They escaped, naturally – Charmed Ones weren't that easy to defeat – but Piper's betrayal left some deep scars.
Leo frowned as the words coursed through his mind and he refused to admit – Especially in me… He scowled at the thought that he was so easily fooled by a demon, feeling the tendrils of rage slither their way into his mind again. Just when this feeling would have became unbearable; Leo sensed a slight pulling sensation, hearing the voice of his charge calling out. Letting the anger slip off him easily, he held his breath as the darkness surrounded him again, and the invisible force pulled him towards the Halliwell Manor.
A/N2: So, what did you think? Hate it? Love it? Should be changed? Continued? Burned? Tell me, PLEASE.... I thrive on reviews
