Phoebe, Piper, and Prue still sit on the stairs. "Well, I guess it's back to the book." Phoebe gets up.

"No..." Prue joins Phoebe in standing, as Piper bites her nail, "Didn't you hear him, Piper is the only one who can save him."

"Yeah, but how do I do that?"

"Why don't you ask him?"

Piper gets up and walks down to Jared, while Prue and Phoebe remain on the stairs.

"Jared?" Piper tries to wake him up as she kneels next to him. "Jared?"

He opens his eyes slowly, "Piper."

"You have to tell me how to save you," she says near tears.

"I can't..." His voice is down to a whisper.

"Yes... you can," she grabs his hand, now crying. "You have to. Please Jared." Jared begins to close his eyes, "Jared?" She places her hand on his face.

"Piper, you have to look inside you. Inside your heart."

His eyes shut, "Jared? Prue! Phoebe! Jared wake up, you can't die. Please I can't lose you." Piper lays her head on Jared's chest and closes her eyes trying to think. She thinks back on everything Jared has said. Piper hears Leo's voice in her head, 'She cares about you ya know?' 'Yeah, if she'd only tell me.' 'Look inside you. Inside your heart.' Prue and Phoebe stand behind Piper, "Oh my god, that's it."

"What's it?"

She lifts her head, "Jared? You have to listen to me." She takes a deep breath, "I love you. Jared, I love you." Phoebe and Prue look at eachother.

Suddenly, Jared is engulfed in black orbs as they swirl around him. "Piper, what's going on?"

Piper backs away from Jared quickly, "I don't know." The three of them huddle together as the orbs swirls, and produce gusts of wind filling the manor. "I don't like the look of black orbs!" The orbs circle around Jared, and slowly turn to silver orbs. He is slowly surrounded by sliver orbs, as Phoebe covers her eyes. The orbs slowly dissipate leaving Jared lying on the couch. He begins to move, he opens his eyes and they glow with silver, he now wears a black suit, like a darklighter, but this time he wears a silver tie, and instead of black hair, he now has silver tips, on his spikes. He lifts his head, to look at his wound that has not healed, he winces in pain as he clutches his wound. He then places his hand over it and heals himself.

He lets his head fall back, then turns to Piper and smiles, "Thanks."

She smiles back, "Welcome back."

The Triad argues with eachother, "I told you he would fail!"

"How was I supposed to know he'd fall in love. Revenge was his purpose, that's the strongest hate there is!"

"Well, he obviously wasn't motivated enough!"

"Silence!" The other two stop arguing. "We still have to focus on killing the Charmed Ones, only now with out the help of Wyatt."

"We'll have to find someone else."

"Who?" They look around at eachother.

"Belthazor." They all smile evily.

Piper, Phoebe, and Prue still stand staring at Jared, who slowly starts to get up. Prue taps Phoebe on the shoulder and nudges her head for them to leave. Jared walks up to Piper with a huge smile on his face. He pulls her into a long, deep passionate kiss. Finally he pulls away, and smiles, "Do you always wait to the last minute to save your innocent?"

"You're welcome." She smiles, and kisses him.

"I know you're not gonna like this but I have to take care of something, it's very important to me. But I promise, I'll be back." She just stares at him, but he smiles, and grabs his hand. "Besides I can't stay away from you for too long."

"Wait a minute. You expect to trust you? You just pulled the biggest lie ever."

"You trusted me enough to save me."

She sighs as she scratches her head. "Fine."

He starts to orb out in silver orbs, but reappears. "Oh yeah," he smiles, "I love you too." He leaves. Piper sits down in the chair, then suddenly gets a huge smile on her face.

Prue and Phoebe walk in, Prue points to the couch, "Where did he go?"

"I don't know." She still smiles.

"What do you mean?"

"He said he had something to take care of."

"Piper, come on, he's not the most trustworthy guy in the world now is he."

"Prue-" Phoebe tries to stop Prue.

"No Phoebe, he lied to us about everything and now he expects us to trust him."

"No Prue, I expect you to trust Piper. This isn't just another vanquish we're dealing with, this is Piper's heart."

Piper gets up and walks into the kitchen, not listening to anything Prue says.

"Prue you just don't get it do you?"

"What's there to get? He's evil."

Phoebe shakes her head, "Prue, Piper's in love, whether he's evil or not. But you have to trust Piper's heart. She'll know if he's evil.

"She didn't before."

Phoebe sighs in fustration, and walks out.

Leo orbs into the kitchen joining Piper. "You did it!" He has a huge smile on his face.

"No thanks to you..."

"Look, I couldn't tell you or else it wouldn't have worked, it wouldn't have come from your heart. But I knew you'd figure it out."

"Leo, what happened to him?"

"Well, he's nuetral now."

"Neutral?"

"Yeah, I mean he's not evil, but he's not good either."

"But how'd he heal himself?"

"Well, being nuetral he has some powers of a whitelighter and some powers of a darklighter."

"Riiight, but what's with the outfit and the hair?"

Leo smiles, "It's his formal wear. Whitelighters have robes, darklighters have suits, he has that outfit." He looks around, "Do you know where he went?"

"No, actually I don't."

"Well I'm gonna go see if I can track him down." He orbs out.

"The previous person who attempted this mission failed us, but you are not going to fail us."

"Are you?"

"Of course not." Cole stand in the middle of the Triad.

"We want the Charmed Ones souls!"

"And you will have them, as long as I get my father's soul in return."

"Agreed." Cole shimmers out.

Jared is in a cemetary croatched down staring at a headstone. "I know I promised revenge, but... I can't. I can't risk losing Piper. I love her, I really do. I hope you can forgive me, but I fell in love again, I mean I didn't plan on it. It was actually the last thing I had on my mind, but you'd like her. She's great. She has a great smile, great eyes, great hair, she's so caring. She makes me feel good, even when I was evil, I had this feeling deep inside me everytime I saw her. I can't ever remember feeling like that. I mean, she's perfect. She's everything I could have ever dreamed of." He hangs his head, "I haven't forgotten about you. I still love you, I'm just not in love with you anymore, I still care about you, but I can't spend the rest of my life chasing a demon when I have Piper. I'm sorry, but I can finally let you go." Flowers orb into his hand, and he places them on her grave, "Goodbye Maria," he whispers. Leo orbs in behind Jared, unnoticed. Jared still hangs his head as he stares at the ground. A bright white light suddenly fills the grave yard.

"Jared..." He quickly looks up and sees Maria's spirit floating above her grave.

"Maria?" he stands up.

She smiles, "Listen, I don't know how much I have but, thank you."

"For what? I haven't killed Belthazor."

"You never had to. You just had to let me go."

"What do you mean?"

"Your obsession with seeking revenge for my death has kept me from moving on. Now you've finally given up, you let me go." She pauses, "She must be very special, this...Piper."

He smiles, "She is."

"She saved both of our souls."

"I'm sorry Maria."

Leo watches smiling.

"Jared... don't let her go. You're right, she's perfect." He stares at her smiling, "I love you. Goodbye." She disappears. Jared falls to his knees, weeping. Leo walks up behind him and places his hand on his shoulder. Jared jumps up, "Leo."

"Hey. You alright?"

Jared wipes his eyes, and sniffs, "Yeah actually. I can't I kept her from moving on."

"You didn't know."

"God how could I be so selfish!" He croatches down again.

"She's right ya know?"

"About what?"

"About Piper... she saved both of you."

"Yeah she's great." He smiles, "She's perfect."

Leo croatches next to Jared, "Jared, do me a favor."

"What's that?"

"Don't hurt her."

"That's twice you've told me that." He stares at Leo, "You love her don't you." Leo looks away, "You do."

"What happened?"

"I don't know."

Jared laughs, "You don't know? What the hell does that mean?" Leo just stares of into the distance. "Look Leo, I really do love her, and I would never do anything to hurt her."

Leo looks back at Jared. "I know, I trust you." They shake hands.

"Well I better get back and talk to Piper."

"Let's go." They orb out in silver and blue.
