X vs Piper
Chapter 4
"Hatred and love emotions tied,
Piper's heart is where it hides.
Help her through her painful times,
Remind this witch of what is lost"
The chant causes a white glistening glow on Piper. Warm light slowly dissipated away. Piper's lost expression no longer exists. "Why did you bring my memories back? You have no idea what you have done!" Piper yelled at her sisters. She was furious and bursting into tears at the same time. The sisters were lost for words. The crazy Piper was difficult to deal with but this is not what they were expecting at all. This Piper is just in so much pain. Instinctively, Phoebe walked towards her and just draw her arms across Piper's weaken body. She just hugged her and tries to calm her down. "It's okay. We are here now. We are all in this together." Phoebe said. "He killed him. He killed my baby. I lost my baby. I didn't want to remember the pain. He died with my baby. They both died!" Piper sobbed. Paige can only watch and imagine what her sister is going through.
FLASHBACK (Piper's memory): Months had passed and her baby was slowly growing bigger by the day. Xavier continued to protect and cared for her. Occasionally he would cast a protection spell and bring Piper out to the open air but he had to make sure no one could sense her. He trusted Piper not to leave him. He was warmed to her. Piper couldn't complain. The last time she felt so safe was with Leo and Xavier, the man she called a demon was safe. He was tender and knew exactly what Piper needed. He made a wardrobe for her with clothes that she would like. He built a warm little bed room for her painted in gentle warm colored walls with a pot of flower by the side just like how Piper would like it. He would usually wait till Piper is asleep and safe before he orbs out, giving her the space but still watching over her. Xavier never really spoke to her much. He was simply a silent guardian angel to her. The way he cared was unlike how a captor would treat their victim but almost like he was in love with her. He may not say it but certainly Piper could feel his every intention.
In Piper's heart, she was touched by his tenderness but she constantly reminded herself of the cruel reality. How Xavier threatened her and separated her from her loved ones was unforgivable. Regardless how her heart is often smitten by him, she worried more as time passes. She knew that eventually her baby will need to be given to Xavier. One day she asked him, "Hey, I know how much you hate me asking you questions about your world but how exactly is my baby involved in this?" Piper questioned. Xavier silenced. "Alright, you deserve to know but what I am about to tell you will have to be your deepest secret for the rest of your life alright? Your baby is a murderer who killed many in the future. Yes, you guessed right. I am not from your world but the future. I am here to reverse the death, to change the future. Your baby cannot be left with you. You and your sisters couldn't save guard him. And neither can Leo. He was the reason your child became a murderer. Leo doesn't deserve to be his father." Xavier said it so harshly. "Leo? He is an angel. He will never do anything to hurt his own blood and flesh." Piper was shocked to hear that. Leo, the man she loved and trusted is the reason behind Xavier's insanity? "I can't tell you anymore. All I am saying is I am not going to hurt your baby. I am simply going to bring him somewhere safe where he will not be able to hurt anyone." Xavier explained further and walked out of the room. Piper stood up and walked swiftly towards him to stop him from leaving the room. Her arm stretched out to his and he stopped. "I am sorry." Piper said. He felt that his heartbeat skipped a beat. "I am sorry for what my husband did which resulted in my son's hatred." Piper added to the silence. The dark and coldness that Piper has seen from Xavier became warmer when he turned around facing her. They were really close. His eyes were locked upon hers. He slowly went closer to her and kissed her passionately. Piper who has been in denial about her emotions, kissed him back. The kiss was magical. It felt like the first kiss she and Leo shared. Piper wasn't sure if this happened because she missed Leo so much but the kiss felt so much like it. That memory was one of her best. She asked Leo, "Leo, how do you feel about women who make the first move?" and Leo said "I don't know. I am still waiting for it to happen." Piper said goodness and went straight on, kissing him with love and passion. That was the kiss that they share and now Piper is sharing it with another guy. Immediately, Piper pulled off. "This is wrong. I am sorry. I am very much in love with my husband. I am still looking forward to go back to his arms. If you meant your kiss, let me off, let me go back to him." Piper's gentle yet assertive request placed Xavier in a difficult position but he said no and left. "I am sorry." He knew that it was for the best.
Piper was desperate for the truth about the future. She couldn't forget about what her child did or how she questioned her perfect image of Leo in her heart. She needed answers and Xavier wouldn't give it to him. Who is he? And of course, she couldn't forget about the kiss. Could it be she had a history with Xavier? Who is the man behind the mask? Piper's mind was flooded with millions of unanswered questions. She had a bad feeling about this. She slowly walked to her bed, sat down and hugged a pillow. She placed one hand on her tummy, rubbing it and contemplating. Then she took out a pad and started scribbling.
