Piper could slowly pulled open her eyes and instantly noticed that her jaw hurt. A lot. Her head was swimming as she adjusted her eyes to the dark surroundings. She could see a table. Not a nice one. One of those wooden, fold-up ones you see at car-boot sales. On top of it Piper could just about make out the shapes of knives and other objects.

Beside the table was a fold up chair, covered in cobwebs and a think layer of dust. Wherever she was; no one had been down here in a while. She then found out, when she tried to move away, that she was chained to the wall by her wrists.

The heavy sound of footsteps rang through the stone walled room and Piper moved her head to see. She could make out a big menacing figure slowly making its way over to her. The floor shook a little with the stamping and Piper shook a little inside. But on the outside she stayed as strong as ever. As the figure came ever closer it waked into the one patch of sunlight in the room and Piper knew instantly who it was.

She had heard Leo bang on about him for hours. How evil he was. How much they hated each other. And about Daisy. Alec had been in the same boat as Leo. He had fallen in love with his charges too. But the difference remained that Alec couldn't really have loved her, Alec didn't have a soul. Leo did. That's what made them different. That's why she could love Leo.

Leo. He would know something was up. He was on the phone to her at the time. He would, right now, be trying to save her. He probably called Darryl. Even though they hated each other. Leo would've done it to save her. He loved her.

Alec squatted own next to Piper. His face was close to hers and she could almost smell the evil dripping off him.

"Well, well, well, Piper Halliwell-Burns…" Piper winced at Jeremy's name, "what a pleasure to meet you, you've caused quite a stir…" Alec was telling her, a disturbing hint of enjoyment stalking his voice.

"Leo's going to come you know! He wont let you kill me!" Piper spat out

"Soul boy! Oh, I'm sure he'll come, and the do-gooder too. But they wont save you. I'll kill them, make you watch. And then I'll kill you…" his voice becoming more and more disturbing with each word that he spoke.

A tear rolled down Piper's cheek. He'll save me, he'll save, and he'll save me…

Just then the sound of tinkling orbs sounded in the dingy basement and Piper set eyes on her beloved and her whitelighter…

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

Leo saw Alec, crouching down beside her and he saw red. He wouldn't get away with this. Leo stepped forward but Darryl grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Leo, wait." He soothed but it just aggravated him more

"No! He's got her Darryl!" Leo hissed as he made eye contact with his sworn enemy.

"I see that…" Darryl started but Leo shook his hand off and walked forward.

Alec knew what was happening and orbed out to behind Darryl. Piper screamed in terror as Alec pulled Darryl backwards and they all heard an almighty crack. Leo gasped and then quickly pulled himself together. He orbed to behind Alec but he had already moved. Leo growled angrily and shook his head.

"No party tricks Alec. Hand to hand, you and me." Leo told him and Alec just stared back, a look of contempt on his face.

"You think I'll actually say yes to that?" Alec asked him

"Yes, because if you beat me this way, you'd get more credit…"

Alec thought about it for a moment. To beat soul boy in hand to hand was… well, it would be one of the greatest thing ever achieved for him. And of course he would win, because there was no there option. Alec slowly nodded and took one step back. Silence fell in the room and then Leo dived forward, talking Alec to the ground…

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

Piper watched in horror as Leo and Alec punched out their differences. Leo dived for Alec and tackled him to the ground. Alec struggled on the floor for a second, trying to dodge Leo's glowing red hands, he finally wriggled free and got up, kicking Leo as heard as he could manage in the stomach as did. Leo shrugged it off and stood up quickly. He threw a punch at Alec which was dodged on Alec tried to sweep Leo's legs out from under him.

Leo side stepped and threw out another punch which hit Alec square in the jaw.

"Fuck you Wyatt." Alec grumble but Leo just laughed and kicked out at his knees.

As Leo's kick made contact with Alec knees they buckled under him, causing Alec to fall to floor. Leo took full advantage of this and kicked out again at his rapidly falling head. Alec heard the thud and felt a dull, strong pain on the left side of his head and he gave in to the dark swirling around him.

Leo knelt down next to the body of his life long rival and raised his hands. He looked around the room and Piper and Darryl. Piper had tears burning their tracks down her perfect face and Darryl was still out cold, head rolling loosely around on his neck and leg twisted. Alec had done all this. Leo felt the hate bubble up inside and he watched as his hands turned scarlet.

He plunged them down onto Alec's still chest and watched with a small amount od happiness as he burned. Piper screamed and pulled wildly at the chains around her wrists. Leo gave her a loving look and told her that he had to do this. Alec's chest burned fast and so did the rest of his. Bones and muscle. All that was left was a small pile of ash.

Leo stood up and walked over to Piper and pulled her chains free. She flung her arms his neck Leo pulled her closer to him, never wanting to let her go again.

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

Leo stood in the bedroom at Paige's watching Piper with a huge smile on his face. She was safe now. Alec was gone. She looked and and gave him a perfect smile back.

"I love you." He told her, pouring all the emotion running through his thick onto his voice.

"Love you too." She said and kissed him lightly. Just then they heard the sound of jingling orbs from behind them.

"I don't mean to interrupt." Darryl spoke.

"What do you want?" Leo asked semi-politely

"I've found something…"
