Piper's Love

Piper and Phoebe were adding ingredients to and stirring the potion while Paige was scrying for Leo. Peter orbed back into the manor, brining the silent tension slight relief.

"Well?" Piper asked.

"The Elders want us to do it our way," Peter said. He orbed a glass of water to him and took a drink before continuing. "They said that if he becomes a full werewolf that we have to vanquish him or they'll do it for us." Peter tried to laugh at the irony he felt at that remark. "Can you believe that? They told us to vanquish one of the members of this family!" Peter threw the glass of water at the closest wall. Paige caught it and placed it on the table. "Anger won't help us get Leo back," she said quietly.

"I know that," Peter sobbed, sitting down in a chair. Piper moved over to him and they embraced, with her on her knees. "I just don't want to lose him."

Piper took his face in her hands. "We won't," Piper said resolutely. She was reassuring herself and Peter that they would get Leo back.

Suddenly, the crystal jumped to the park and stayed there. Phoebe ran and filled up two vials of the potion and the four of them orbed out.

They orbed into the park and began looking for Leo. Peter and Phoebe went off in one direction with one vial and Piper and Paige with the other in the opposite direction.

Paige and Piper walked arm in arm, looking in every bush for any sign of Leo. "Help!" they heard a woman scream.

Piper and Paige hurried toward the voice to see a young woman running as fast as she could and being chased by a werewolf. Paige yelled, "Rock!" and threw it at the werewolf, tripping it up enough for the young woman to finish getting to them, gasping for breath. "Thank you so much," she said.

"We're not out of the park yet," Piper said, nudging her slightly behind herself and Paige.

The werewolf shook itself and moved toward them growling. "Paige," Piper whispered. "Let's get her out of here."

Paige turned and grabbed the woman and Piper and orbed them out. "Peter come home!" Piper called while still being orbed.

Once back in the manor, followed shortly by Phoebe and Peter, Piper asked the young woman her name. "My name is Natalie," she said, twisting her blonde hair nervously. She looked at Peter, and whispered to Paige, "Is he your Whitelighter? He's cute."

Paige made a mental note to tell Peter about that, but then asked, "How did you know he's a Whitelighter?"

"I may be a power striped witch, but I still know about magic," Natalie said.

"You're a witch?" Phoebe asked, looking at her sisters in alarm.

"Sort of," Natalie said. "I mean my active powers got taken from me, but I can still do simple spells."

Their conversation was cut short when a fireball blasted the parlor doors to pieces. In walked Jenalk, and he was followed closely by a werewolf. Upon seeing the werewolf Peter whispered, "Leo."

"That's right Whitelighter," Jenalk said. "Leo. Now, I'm not going to waste time on pleasantries; so do it!" he yelled.

Leo leapt across the room and knocked Peter and Phoebe into the hallway. Paige he knocked onto the stairs. While Leo was fighting with Peter, Phoebe, and Paige, Jenalk had cast another fireball at Piper and had managed to knick her. Natalie moved to try to help her, but was vanquished herself with another of Jenalk's fireballs. Leo moved over to Piper and picked her up as though she were a rag doll. He moved back to Jenalk.

"Well done Leo," Jenalk said, placing his hand on Leo's arm. "Well done." They shimmered out as Paige called "Piper!"

In a cavern in the underworld . . . Leo placed Piper down on a small outcropping of rock, as Jenalk watched from a distance. Three other demons shimmered in behind him. "Jenalk," one of the females said.

"What is it Tara?" Jenalk hissed, not turning around.

"When do we kill the Charmed One?" she asked.

"Soon," Jenalk said. "She will die soon."

"Good," William said. "I'm tired of looking like a werewolf."

"Leave," Jenalk said. "He doesn't know the difference yet, and he will if you're here! Go."

The three demons shimmered out just as Leo turned around. Jenalk put on his charming smile. "You know what you have to do Leo," Jenalk said. "You have to wake her and kill her to become human. I'll leave you if that's what you want."

Leo turned his huge wolf head and nodded. Jenalk shimmered out and Leo turned his attention back to Piper. He gently nudged her with his muzzle, waking Piper.

"Leo?" she asked.

Leo growled softly in response.

"What am I doing here?" Piper asked, moving slightly upward in the outcropping.

Leo moved a finger across his throat. "Oh," Piper said. Then a thought came to Piper. "Halliwell matrons in the realms far and above, Return to me the man that I love."

Piper watched as Leo howled in pain and retreated from the rock. His fur began to recede and he also shrank back to his normal size. "Leo," Piper dared to breathe.

Leo, completely naked, lay on the rock floor of the cavern as Piper came over to him. "Piper," he breathed. "Your spell won't last long. Have you got the antidote?"

"Right here," she said, handing him the vial and removing the cork. Leo swallowed the potion and gasped for breath.

"Can you orb us out of here?" Piper asked.

"I'll definitely try," Leo said, taking her hand and closing his eyes. Breathing deeply they orbed out of the cavern as Jenalk was shimmering in. "NO!" he yelled. His yell echoed through the now empty chamber.

A/N: Let me know what you think. I want reviews people!
