X vs Piper
Chapter 3
Piper's Memory: "Xavier, what was your world like? Something sad must have happen to you." Piper was curious. Her heart wished to change this man's heart. "Piper, it's a world I tried my best to save." Xavier recalled his darkest secret.
FLASHBACK (Xavier's memory): "Don't do it. Don't hurt her like you hurt others. She is different, someone important to me and once to you. Take me instead." Xavier begged the man. His heart was ripped apart when that man casted a spell that violently killed the woman he loved so deeply and tenderly. He was barely breathing. He couldn't. "Why? Why did everything turn out to be this way? I am angel made to love and yet I failed. I lost everything that mattered."
"Xavier? You tried your best didn't you?" Piper gave him a smile. Piper was getting comfortable with him. Her anger towards him was slowly dissipating. Somehow he felt familiar and she can't explain that safe feeling she felt around him. Perhaps she has sympathy for him. Never once has she met a demon that can love, not this way at least apart from Cole who was a half human.
That night, while Piper was sleeping, a portal opened and a man walked out of there. He went to Piper and he attacked her. Piper woke up in shocked. She tried to freeze him but nothing happened. The man wanted to take her but Xavier came in time and blasted some lightning bolt towards him. The man fought back with a telekenesis power which threw Piper towards a rock. Xavier ran towards her to protect her from the rock hence not noticing a fire ball flying towards him. He managed to hold on to Piper but was injured. He then orbed off with Piper to somewhere seclude. He knew this man was coming for him. He prepared for his arrival.
"Xavier, you are injured. Are you alright?" Piper looked at his injury and took a piece of cloth out. "I am fine. Just a small injury, it will not kill me. I won't let him take you. That man won't hurt you. Like me, all he is after is the baby but for evil." Xavier explained. He was glad that Piper wasn't injured. That wasn't part of his plan. He never ever had the intention to hurt her even from the start. He knew Piper would give up her life for her sisters. He wouldn't need to hurt them. Pipers cared about her sisters too much to seat back and watch them die.
REALITY: Leo was lying by Piper's side. He was mentally and physically exhausted. All he has done in the past few weeks was getting Piper to remember those beautiful moments they had experienced together.
"Leo" Piper murmured. Leo woke up and to his amazed, Piper said his name. "Piper, I am here. Do you remember me now?" Leo was trying hard to jolt her memory. All a sudden, Piper went berserk again on Leo. She was tied on the bed and yet Leo could see in her eyes, her fear and hatred. It was as if she had been through a very traumatic incident. Phoebe and Paige ran up and saw their beloved usually strong hearted and loving sister rattling the bed violently. "So much pain. Leo, she is really hurting. All I felt from her was intense pain. So much that I can't even read her mind. It's like she is blocking out the memory on purpose." Phoebe said. "Leo…" Piper repeatedly calling his name with tears flowing. Leo walked out of the room, confused with what he saw. It breaks his heart but he can't understand, why the hate? Is it directed towards him or is it just him thinking too much?
In the mean time, Phoebe brought Paige to her room to tell her something private. She checked the hall way and closed the door behind her before whispering to Paige "I felt more than pain. I felt her hatred and it's towards Leo. I mean it's like she loved him and hated him at the same time. That is why she is hurting so bad." "What? That is not possible. Piper loved him like crazy. She would die for him if she has to?" Paige gave a confusing look to Phoebe. "I don't know either. Maybe X brain washed her?" Phoebe can only think of this one explanation. "Really? Maybe you felt wrong? I mean your powers are quite new." Paige said. "No. I am positive. My powers are confusing but the vibe I get from Piper is simply too intense to ignore. It's like being around horny Jason again." Phoebe said. "Well whatever the reason is, we should keep this to ourselves. Imagine how this would break Leo's heart. I hope he is not suspecting anything. That poor guy loves her so much. I can feel that too! It's hard for me not to feel a thing these days!" Phoebe added. "This may sound cruel but what do you think of us casting a spell to bring her memories back? We force her to remember? I mean it's probably against her will but I don't see how she is going to get any better." Paige suggested.
