X vs Piper
Chapter 2
FLASHBACK: "Piper, throughout the tears and struggles I always knew it in my heart that we're gonna make it here. I promise to love and respect you from this point forward as you husband, as my wife, as my lover, my friend and my soulmate. All I am is yours." ~ Leo's vowed.
REALITY: "I promised you that on our wedding day and I will never give you up. I am right here, right by you. Do you remember yours?"Leo stared into her beautiful eyes. Her eyes were the very first thing that he loved about her. They were filled with passionate love that no other girl has but now all he felt from her is fear. It broke his heart.
"Piper, please remember. You told me that you were born to love me and you always will. Love me please. I am begging you. Show me that you cared. Show me that you still love me!" Leo was getting impatient. He was desperate. Nothing matters anymore. What happened to her, how it happened, it doesn't matter anymore. All that matters is her getting better and her loving him again. She hurting herself since she came back, torn his heart apart.
"I will do anything for you; go to hell or move the heaven if I must. I will bring you back. I will find X to find an antidote for this." Leo whispered to her. He orbed off.
FLASHBACK (Piper's memories): "Piper Halliwell, you are very important. The Charmed Ones aren't the most powerful good magic. They are simply the protector of the most powerful magic. You are carrying the most powerful magic and I want that." X explained to her. Piper had signed her life to him in exchanged for her sisters. She had no idea that she was carrying the most powerful magic. She didn't even know she was pregnant and now she all she can do is to bow to fate. Hopefully her sisters can find her somehow. "I will not let you take my baby. My sisters and husband will save me. I know they will." Piper said.
"They won't. No one can. When you signed off your life to me, you have chosen to give up your life for your sisters. If you run or being save, you will die along with your sisters which means the power of three will not have existed. That would mean that evil wins. Stay here with me. I will not hurt you. Like I say, all I wanted is your child's power. I am not evil. I am simply a fallen angel who understands the ultimate happiness. In time you will understand why I did this and I am sorry I had to." X told her gently.
Some part of Piper feared him but some part of her felt sorry for him. She cannot understand his deeper understanding of happiness. All she can comprehend at this moment was X took away her world and life, Leo and her sisters were everything to her. Suddenly, she had warm feeling in her heart. Her baby was all that matters now. She knew that if she kept living, her baby will be saved as she will never give up on protecting it. "Listen, is there any way you will let me go? All you want for the future is ultimate happiness so let me go and I will find that for you. My sisters and I are good, very good. We can do anything. Just please let my unborn child go." Piper tried to reason with X for the next couple of days but all her efforts were futile.
"Well stop trying to change my mind. I am a fallen angel for a reason. I used to believe in good versus evil like you but it didn't work out for me. Stop it and just start accepting the truth that you are here now. Come and have dinner. I made a nice mushroom and chicken soufflé with warm soup on the side for you. I promise you, it's good alright?" X tried to persuade her. Piper gave in after not eating for days. The soup was warmed. Deep down in her heart, she believed that X isn't all evil. No evil can make such a beautiful meal. "By the way, since I will be here for a while, mind telling me your name and taking off your mask?" Piper asked.
"The mask, I can't but the name is Xavier."
