The door to the attic swung open forcefully and there stood a figure. It was way too tall and menacing to be her. Leo knew who it was and his mind clouded over in fear. Jeremy couldn't kill him, but in his weakened state he could hurt him a lot. He dropped his head back onto the hard wooden floor and listened as the loud, angry footsteps came closer and closer. His heart lurched his chest. What had this girl done to him? She had made him feel again. Awakened a part of he thought to be long dead. Leo felt a heavy hand pull up the back of his usual black t-shirt and hoist him to his eye level.

Leo could smell the drink on his breath and the slight yellowing of his eyes. Stubble covering was covering Jeremy's chin and forming a beard, and his hair was messed up a lot. His t-shirt was grubby and fading and his jeans were ripped. Leo looked back up to meet his eyes again.

"Where is she?" he asked Leo, words slightly slurred

"I don't know!" Leo whispered back to him

"You're lying!" Jeremy increased the death grip on Leo's neck

"No, I'm not! I swear I don't know!" Jeremy dropped Leo to the floor and walked around to the other side of him. Leo just lay there coughing his lungs up.

"How did get in here?" Jeremy asked, in a calm voice

"I can't tell you." Leo answered him, he knew it was lame but he couldn't expose magic, to this bastard.

"You'll tell me." Jeremy said, stepping closer to Leo

"I can't" Leo coughed out and black surrounding him.

Darryl looked down at Piper and thought. There was nothing she could do. She couldn't stop Leo. Not when he had come so close to stopping her. He shook his head.

"There is nothing you can do." Darryl told her, "He's just too dangerous."

"But…I can help! I can do it!" Piper pleaded, "He won't expect it from me!"

"But Piper-."

"No! U can do this, just tell me what to do."

Darryl thought quickly. Leo trusts her. She could go in unsuspected and finish him. And plus, he'd get credit too. Right, so she'd do it. But how? He racked his brains. What killed darklighters? There's a potion. If I get one of my charges to make it for her…

"You can do it." A smile spread wide across Piper's face, "But, we have to go somewhere first."

Piper nodded and Darryl stretched his hand forward. She looked down at it, unsure of what to do.

"It's ok, jus grab hold." He told her in his soothing voice. She took hold and he orbed them out.

Leo looked up when he heard the sound of orbs. It had been hours under Jeremy's beatings and Leo could see that the man was starting to tire of this, and Leo knew that his own endurance was deteriorating quickly. When looked up he saw blue swirls of lights in the corner of the room. When the lights cleared he could see a man, about 6 ft tall, with fuzzy black hair, wearing golden robes. Whitelighter. And when he focused more he made out the form of a beautiful little brunette, with legs to die for. It was her! It was Piper!

She turned her head to look at him and Leo saw a flash of pain in her gorgeous brown eyes. He stared at her, holding onto the eye contact. She held it too, before her eyes darted upwards to see Jeremy, and she immediately froze. Leo watched as her eyes glazed over in terror and her perfect body shook slightly, it hurt him so much to see her like this but he was helpless against it.

Noticing the sudden change in Piper, Darryl took a few steps towards her, and paced a reassuring hand on her shoulder. He knew who this was somehow. Her husband. Jeremy Burns.

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

Jeremy saw Piper standing there and all of his rage bubbled like lava to the surface. And so many questions. Where has she been all this time? Who did she get in? Who has she been sleeping with? He took a few steps towards her, walking around Leo lying on the floor. He saw her shake with fear of him and he smiled in pleasure. He always got a kick out of her being scared of him. She better be…

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

"Piper, you ok?" Darryl asked her and Piper nodded a little. He can't do anything, Darryl's here. We can get out at a moments notice. I'm ok, I'm ok, I'm ok. She stared Jeremy straight into his cold, empty, unfeeling brown eyes. She saw no love there. Not like she saw in Leo's eyes. She glanced back down at Leo. He was still breathing. Could you kill a darklighter or whatever from beating them? She didn't think so.

Piper rummaged in her pocket and found the small glass vial containing the potion to kill Leo and squeezed it lightly. She had to kill him, it was the only way. He was evil. He had tried to kill her. So she had to. It was the right thing. But why did it feel so wrong?

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

"How the fuck did you get into here?" Jeremy roared at them

"I can't say." Piper said, quickly losing her cool

"How!" He screamed as he advanced at a quick pace

"Jeremy-."

"Let's get out of here." Darryl said but Piper shook her head

"No, I need to do this." She told him and walked to Jeremy.

"Is he another one of your sex boys?" Jeremy asked her, giving a pointed glance over at Darryl.

"Jeremy, you don't own me! And no for your information!" she yelled back

"I do own you, I'm your goddamned husband!" he spat out

Piper saw red at that comment. She didn't really know why. He was her husband. They were married. Well, on paper they were. There had never really been a marriage. But even when they acted like it, he never owned her. Never ever. He never would. She shook her head.

"No, Jeremy. We're not married. Not anymore." She told him calmly and watched as his face turned to red.

"We are!"

"No Jeremy!" Piper yelled at him, shaking in anger and fear.

Jeremy was furious. She was telling him what to do. That wasn't the way things worked. He was the husband, he told her what to do. Who did she think she was. I'll put her in her place. Jeremy raised his fist, only to feel a sharp pain on his cheek and his head snap back.

"Don't you ever raise your fist to me again! We're over!" Piper said and walked back over to Darryl a huge smile on her beautiful face.

"You guuna do it?" Darryl asked her about Leo and she shook her head.

"No," she said staring down at the body on the floor.

"But, Piper, you must!" He told her

"Not yet Darryl. I'm not ready. Please understand." She begged him and she saw his navy eyes soften a little.

"Ok, but you must, soon Piper!" he explained to her as she walked over to Leo and pulled his head gently into her lap.

"Orb us out."

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

Leo opened his stinging eyes inside a room. It wasn't the attic. He painfully sat up and looked around. The room was kind small, with a little window on the wall facing. A small-ish dresser next to the bed and baby blue walls surrounding him. The door inched open and Leo snapped into alert, until he saw the small brunette behind it. He dropped his guard and stared.

"Hey." He croaked out and she smiled

"Hey." She said and sat down next to him, laying her head on his shoulder

"Piper?"

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing?" he asked, voice full of pain

She looked into his eyes, and saw them sparkle back at her. She wondered if she had anything to do with it. He smiled at her and Piper's heart melted, she felt herself leaning in towards him.

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

Leo didn't resist as he felt Piper lips on his, he couldn't resist. He kissed her back. Fever rushing through his blood, lust swallowing him whole, and he was surrendering all to easily to it. She pulled away reluctantly to look into his shining green eyes again.

"I love you." She told him quietly and a smile broke out on his handsome face.

"Yeah?" he asked her, the joy inside him was bubbling around his voice as he spoke.

"Yeah." She nodded and kissed him again. The kiss quickly grew more heated and passionate by the second and the fell back onto the bed….

AN: I know it was a little rushed at the end, but give me a break, I wrote it at like 3 in the morning! So, please review and I'll work hard on chapter 18.
