Chapter 9: Never Leave Me

Disclaimer: If I owned this the demons would actually be scary, not have cheap perms and corsets and think that they're Elektra.

A/N: Didn't I tell you'd I'd be better with the updates?

It was now 9'clock at night and the Halliwells, Cole, and Leo came into the Manor. Cole and Piper led the group as they all crept into the door, not wanting to interrupt anything or act as a disturbance in any way.

Piper rounded the corner and came into the living room, everyone else following her. Upon seeing Andy and Prue, she left the others to get a blanket to cover the couple. When she put it over them Andy opened his eyes to reveal he wasn't asleep.

"I didn't want to leave her," Andy almost struggled to say, "not again."

Piper recognized dried tears on his face as well as Prue's. She nodded and tucked the blanket under the two. She faced the rest of the group, put a finger over her mouth with one hand, and ushered them out with the other.

They made their way up the stairs only to realize that they didn't have all of their furniture put in their rooms. Their beds weren't even there yet.

Almost at the same time, Piper, Leo, Cole, Phoebe, and Pam came out of their rooms. In a silent agreement the two couples and Pam went back into their rooms, grabbed a few pieces of clothing, and exited the Manor. The group piled into Piper's car, and with Cole at the wheel, they drove off to a hotel.

"They looked so sad," Piper said, troubled as she rested her head on Leo's shoulder.

"Well you have to expect that," Leo said, "the last time Prue saw Andy he was in a coffin. A lot of bad memories must have been brought up."

"But a lot of good ones too," Phoebe said trying to cheer up the mood, "I mean, they're soul mates Leo."

"I'm just happy Prue's happy," Pam chimed in. After a second of thought, she spoke again. "What's the deal with Andy though?" She asked, never knowing the man, "I know he saved you guy's lives when he died and you grew up together, but what kind of person is he?"

"The best," Piper answered, "he's all you could ever want in a brother-in-law."

The group pulled into the hotel and they all got out of the Jeep. They picked up their small bags and made their way to the front desk. They got two rooms: one for the couples and one for Pam, on Pam's request.

As they left the front desk, the clerk picked up the front desk phone, and spoke into it without dialing.

"They're here," he said darkly.

In a room somewhere in the hotel, a voice replied on the other line.

"Thank you," the voice said simply.

The man behind the voice had a long black coat with all black attire on underneath. His hair was white and his cheeks were sallow. His eyes were ice blue and looked as if they alone could kill you. But it was his voice that scared you to death.

"What do you want me to do with them Barbas?" the desk clerk asked.

"Just leave them," Barbas said, "I'll get them when it's time."

The next morning, Andy started to stir as the sun came through the stain glass windows. He slowly opened his eyes and was a bit taken aback by his surroundings. He didn't want to leave Prue, but thought it would e nice for her to have some coffee when she woke up. He slowly got from under her and made his way to the familiar Halliwell kitchen.

While Andy was in the kitchen, Prue started to wake herself. Before she opened her eyes, she felt around for Andy under her. When she didn't feel him she opened her eyes with alarm and looked around the room for him. She jumped off the couch, ran to the front door and flung it open. She looked out the door for Andy and ran back into the living room when she didn't see him.

"Andy!" she called out helplessly.

He ran from the kitchen and wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm here, Prue," he tried, "don't worry. I'm not going anywhere."

"I thought you'd left," Prue said, beginning to cry again.

"No, Prue. I just went to make you coffee. I'm not leaving." Andy tried again to soothe her, recognizing how fragile she was. He kissed her forehead and led her to the kitchen.

As soon as they got into the room the phone rang. The noise made Prue jump a little, so Andy went to go answer it.

"Hello?" Andy asked.

"Hey, Andy its Piper."

"Piper?" Andy inquired. "Where are you?"

"We all went to the San Francisco Bay Inn to let you guys be alone for the night," she answered. "I just wanted to let you guys know where we were," Piper continued.

Andy nodded his head to Piper's explanation.

"We'll go out to lunch later today, maybe spend some time around the city to give you guys some time alone," Piper finished.

"Thanks," Andy said as he smiled at the thought of his first whole day alone with Prue.

"Talk to you later," Andy said as he put down the phone.

"What did Piper say?" Prue asked.

"She wanted to tell me that they all went to the Bay hotel for the night. They won't be back for a while."

Andy and Prue both gave wide smiles, knowing neither of them would ever leave.

A/N: I'll have another one up soon. Please review.
