Chapter 7:
With Prue's words in her head, Piper stood and headed towards the attic and the Book of Shadows. When she opened her door she past Phoebe saying, "Oh my god Piper what happened?" Piper feeling the tears swell up in her eyes again, turned to Phoebe and said, "I'm still not ready to deal with you yet, so please stay away from me for a little while." As she said this, she froze Phoebe in place. Once she reached the attic she closed the door behind her and made sure that it was tightly locked. Then she set to work finding a spell that would allow her to see the past and find the demon that put her through this. Finally she found a spell and read it out loud.
Causes of present are quite unseen
No clues of things that have been
I seek the power of the sight
That allows me to see outside this night
To see the past my soul so cries
So let me see through different eyes
She felt herself falling into a sort of nothingness and when she opened her eyes, it was the day before her birthday again. "Leo, Phoebe?" she called, no response. She walked out of the attic and down to the kitchen where she saw herself talking with Paige. "Alright" Piper thought I'm in the past and no one can see or hear me, how typical" She stayed in the kitchen until Phoebe walked in. Piper tried to see if she could pick up on anything out of the ordinary, but she couldn't yet. So she waited out the morning until after the past Piper had left for work. Then she heard Phoebe call for Leo. Piper listened to their conversation and she had to admit that it was pretty normal, in fact it was all centered around her and her birthday. At the end of the conversation all three of them heard a crash in the living room. When she rounded the corner directly behind Leo, she saw two ugly demons blow sparkling powder onto Phoebe and Leo. She saw it settle on them and coat them both with yellow auras. Piper was shocked when they decided that Leo should just go and get the cake ingredients instead of check the Book of Shadows, couldn't they see that they were glowing yellow! "No" Piper decided they couldn't, it must be that she could only see it because of the spell.
She continued to stick with them throughout the day as her sister and her husband flirted over her birthday cake and she almost caught them. "So that's why Phoebe and Leo were all giggly" she thought, too bad she couldn't have caught them then instead of later. She saw that the next morning when Leo wished her a happy birthday his aura had almost faded, "So the auras show how much grasp the spell has over them at that point" Then when Leo tried to tell Phoebe that what they had started to do was wrong, Piper was right there cheering him on until she remembered how it actually ended. That afternoon after they had vanquished another demon and both of their auras started to get stronger Piper began to worry.
Then when she saw Leo stand to orb upstairs, she ran up the stairs to follow him. She saw his aura jump in color when he first saw Phoebe peek her head out of the shower, but when he turned away from Phoebe his aura lessened. Piper let out a sigh of relief until she watched him hand Phoebe the shampoo and saw that Phoebe's aura was glowing then she watched Leo struggle with his aura for one moment before he leaned in to kiss her sister. By the time she saw Leo get into the shower with her little sister she decided that she had had quite enough. "Alright" she thought to herself, I can create a spell to get me back home. After thinking for a little while Piper came up with a spell to go home.
Causes found and sights witnessed
No longer have I cause to be distressed
Now deliver me back to my home
So that the demon may no longer roam
