Premonition
Phoebe finds herself walking around in a secluded area with a vortex in the background
"What am I doing here", she asked herself
" I need your help" said a voice from the distance
"Show yourself if you want my help" Phoebe screamed
"You cannot see me, I need for to just trust me. If you can't trust your instincts then use your empathy" the voice replied calmly
Phoebe didn't know why but some how the stranger seemed familiar to her. She didn't need her powers to know that the person in the shadows was trustworthy. "No need to use empathy, I can tell you are good but where are we and what do you want from me"
"Like I said I need your help. We are located in an hidden realm and technically I am not supposed to be here, but this is the only place that I know the Elders won't be able to see or hear me"
"I see that you have a dislike for the Elders also"
"Yes I loathe them, that is why I am doing this to help save Leo"
"Wait they know what is going to happen to Leo", Phoebe asked the voice
"Yes they know, that is why they won't help. See it is said that when a white lighter gets his wings clipped, they are never allowed to return to that status if they die, but some Elders have agreed that Leo can be made an exception" replied the voice
"They want Leo to become a white lighter again, but why not just help us like we asked earlier"
"No they don't want Leo to become a white lighter again, they what him to become an Elder. See if Leo dies, they will take his soul and make him an Elder again, but they will erase his memories of Piper and the rest of you guys. That way he can perform his duties without the earthly attachments. They would also make sure that he would never remember his wife and children"
"But why would they do that" asked Phoebe
"Because Leo was a great asset to them. It was because of Leo, the Elders were able to stabilize so fast after the Titans killed most of them. They thought they would succeed in keeping him when they gave him the test after the Avatar incident. They hadn't counted on Cole helping Piper let go to call Leo to her side, nor did they expect that he would actually fall from grace. Leo has helped hundreds of white lighters learn to use their powers and they Elders would kill to have him on their side again"
"But that still doesn't help me with why did you bring me here" Phoebe was beginning to grow impatient with the voice
"God were you always like this, stubborn as ever I see"
"Who are you"
"I told you I can't answer that but I need to tell you that Leo sometime in the near future does die and the Elders get him back."
"How do you know that"
"The Elders aren't the only ones with connections to neutral seers. That is why I brought to this plane and no one else. If you step through that vortex, it will take you to the vision that I saw. Will you do it"
"Of course I would do it, this is Leo we are talking about"
"I knew you would, and whatever you do change the future. For the entire sake of magic"
The voice disappears and Phoebe walks thru the portal. As she gets to the other side. She sees that she is at the manor and the clock has 8:45 on it. She makes her way to the living room and she hears glass breaking in the window. She makes her way towards the window and sees an intruder climbing in the window, who she tries to give a round house kick to but her body just sails through.
"I guess I am just supposed to watch", she muttered as she made her way off the floor
The intruder goes to the kitchen and hides in the shadows watching Leo come down the stairs.
"Piper, Wyatt, Mel Chris. Anyone home", Leo called out. He walks over to the kitchen and sees a post it attached to the refrigerator "Went to Paige's be back by nine. Call in case of emergency. Love Piper." "I see that she is no longer worried about me"
He walks out of the kitchen and the intruder grabs him from behind with his arm around Leo's throat. Leo manages to flip the intruder off his back and he lands on the floor with a thud. Leo then tries to go after the attacker again but this time he pulls out a gun and fires a bullet at Leo. Leo manages to dive out of the way and tries to knock the gun of the intruders hand. As both men struggle for the control of the gun it goes off again twice. This time Leo wasn't quick enough to dive out of the way and the bullets hits him right in the stomach and on the right side of his chest. Phoebe being an empath began to fell the same pain that Leo was feeling as she knelt on the floor beside him. He hit's the floor and blood is spewing everywhere. Phoebe goes over and tries to help Leo but she has forgotten that there is nothing she can do. She tries to grab his head and call for help but no one hear her and her hands go directly through Leo's head.
Outside of Phoebe's body at the manner
"What happened" asked Coop as he rushed into the attic after hearing Paige and Piper scream
"We don't know one minute she was fine the next, it is like she is unconscious", said Paige
Piper began to shake her sister violently to try and wake her up "Phoebe dammit wake the hell up"
"Piper", Leo began, "she can't hear you. She will wake up when it is time'
Everyone backed away because they knew that Leo was right. Whatever this was the only way to break was for Phoebe to do it herself. The children and the rest of the adults except Coop decided to leave the attic and wait for Phoebe to wake up.
All of the sudden Coop heard Phoebe shout in her unconscious state
"Leo watch out", she said whispered softly. "Oh my God Wyatt, Paige, Chris anybody I need help Leo needs help. Come on Leo you can't die, somebody please help"
"She is having a premonition" Coop thought to himself
Back in Phoebe's dream state
"See I knew I would get you sooner or later", the intruder spat as he swatted down next to Leo
"It doesn't matter what you do to me, Piper will always be mine", Leo whispered as his life was draining from him
"Now that is where you are wrong. Piper could have been mine but you just had to take her from me. Now that I have gotten rid of the distraction she will come to me with open arms and give me the love I deserve"
"She will never love you because you are a sick bastard"
"She will love me" and with a brute force he kicked Leo repeatedly in the stomach. He then wiped his finger in Leo's blood and begins to write a message on the wall. "She will love me like she used too, and in due time you will be nothing but a memory, a very bad memory. See you lose I win"
Phoebe places her hands on the floor beside Leo and she feels his blood on her fingertips. She starts crying because she realizes that Leo is losing too much blood and will be dead in a matter of moments
"You will never win Piper and you sure as hell won't win my kids", Leo stuttered as he began to fall unconscious
"Oh I wish you would hurry up and die already. I can't start my new life if you are still around"
"I…… I will….always be around"
"Not for long", and with that the intruder picked up the gun again and fired off another bullet at Leo's body but this bullet hit his shoulder. "Not the place I was hoping for but it will do"
Leo overwhelmed by the pain begins to die more quickly because he has lost to much blood. "Tell Piper…… and the children that I…… love…… them" and with that he breathed his last breath
"I'll make sure she doesn't get the message" the intruder spat as he kicked Leo on last time to make sure he was dead. He then smiled at his handy work and with that he walked out of the front door.
Phoebe still in shock that she just saw her brother and law being brutally murdered didn't notice the message that the killer wrote on the wall in Leo's blood. Through her tears she looked up at the wall and read the message out loud
"I told you I would tie up every last loose end. It is just me and you now" After Phoebe finished reading the message, the clock chimed at nine o'clock and Phoebe found herself sucked back through the vortex.
"Did you see what you were meant to see" the voice called out to her
"Do you mean did I see my brother-n-law violently murdered then yes I did" Phoebe said as she continued to wipe the tears from her eyes. "Why did you bring me here, can you tell me who this person is"
"No I cannot"
"Then why in the hell did you bring me here if I don't know who to stop" Phoebe screamed. "How can I save him"
"I don't know all I know that if Leo dies then the greater good will no longer have protectors" the voice answered calmly
"Screw the greater good, the Elders are nothing but sons of a bitches anyways. Let them fight their own battles for once" Phoebe spat
"As much as I would like to agree I have seen glimpses of the future and they are not good, so please try your best to save his life or else the world will plunge into darkness"
'I will move heaven and hell to save Leo but how do I get out of here" Phoebe asked
"That is easy just close your eyes and allow your sprit to drift back to your body"
"Wait, will you tell me who you are"
"No I can't at least not yet, I don't want the Elders to find out what I did seeing as it is against the rules"
"Thank you" and with that Phoebe closed her eyes and felt her spirit drift back to her body
"Please save him Phoebe" and with that the figure was surround with gold lights and left to go back where she belonged.
End of Premonition
Phoebe woke up with a jolt and saw that her entire family was standing over her. She looked down at her clothes and felt her face, witch was actually wet from her tears. Coop who couldn't stand the silence any longer rushed over pulled his wife into a giant hug
"Oh I was so scared don't ever do that to me again" said Coop as he kissed his wife
'I am sorry, I couldn't control it, it just happened" Phoebe said silently
"Well thank god you are okay, you were kicking and screaming and crying so much we thought something was wrong" said Paige
"Hey you had us very worried, so what did you see", asked Piper
Phoebe looked up and saw Leo with his arm around Piper and Wyatt, Chris, and Mel standing in the corner. Leo looked into Phoebe's eyes and for some reason he knew what she saw. He didn't know exactly how it happened or how he knew she had seen his death but her eyes gave it away
"Phoebe tell us what you saw", asked Piper again
"Yeah Aunt Phoebe it seemed big, so you have to tell us", said Wyatt
"No I can't tell you, it was so horrible I don't think I could tell you what happened" Phoebe whispered
"Phoebe you have to tell us, if it is a demon attack we need to be prepared to make sure no one gets hurt" said Paige
"No Dammit, I can't. It was horrible and I don't want to tell you what I saw. It hurts because ever time I close my eyes I see it happening again and again. And there was nothing I could do to stop it", Phoebe screamed with tears falling from her eyes
"Phoebe you know as well as I do that the reason you receive those visions is so that we will be able to stop them. Now for the last time tell us what you saw". Piper asked softly but sternly
"She saw my death", Leo whispered and moved his hand from around Piper's waist
"What", everyone asked
"I said she saw my death" Leo said again this time louder with a quiver in his voice
"No Phoebe that is not what you saw was it". screamed Piper "Tell us that is not what you saw. Tell me now, tell me now dammit"
Phoebe looked down at the floor too scared to look into her sisters eyes. She then remembered the person who took her to the vision. "Piper I can't because it is true, I had a vision that Leo was killed"
"But when, how, why. Phoebe I just don't understand", Piper said calmly with tears flowing down her cheeks. "How did he die"
"The stalker, the stalker broke into the house and shot Leo three times and killed him in cold blood. And there was no one around to save him."

Phoebe watched her sister break down in tears as she began to think how she was going to retell the details of her premonition to the family that stayed in the attic. Henry and Coop decided to take the children home for the night since they had school bright and early the next day. Paige decided to stay to give her sister the emotional support she knew she would need.
"Well do you want me to give you the details of the premonitions in its entirety, because it was awful" said Phoebe
"We want all the details, to make sure we can stop this right Piper" Paige asked her sister who just nodded her head up and down.
"Wait before you start kids why don't you go ahead and go to bed, me and your aunts will handle this"
"No" said all three Wyatt children
"Don't tell me no, you need to be rested for school tomorrow"
"Mom we are going to stay here and hear what Aunt Phoebe has to say because like it or not this concerns all of us", yelled Melinda.
" But I am your mother and as of now this is an adult problem"
"I don't care how adult it is, this is about my father and I am staying put", hissed Melinda
"Piper sweetie just let them stay, the more they know the better right" insisted Leo
"I know they have a right to know, I just want to spare them the pain of the details, but if you all want to stay then go ahead"
"Alright Mel", Wyatt and Chris sent a telepathic message to their sister
"You might as well start Phoebe"
"Okay well I don't think in was an ordinary premonition, it was more of an astral-projection to a place. There this person was telling me that the Elders wanted Leo to die that is why they wouldn't help us"
"But why would they do that" interrupted Paige
"Let her finish" replied Chris
"Anyway some Elders want Leo to die so he can become one of them again" she stopped and looked at Leo who was about to say something. "Stop Leo before you say it. They also said that since you fell from grace you could never become a white lighter again but they want to bend the rules just for you. If you would die, they would take your soul and make you an Elder again but erase all your memories of everyone."
"But why me", asked Leo
"Why not you dad", said Chris, "I heard the stories of how great you were at your job and they probably need more men like you in the force. It was a lose to them when they decided to make you choose"
"Chris is right Leo, that is what the voice said. After she finished talking to me, she told me to go through some kind of portal and I was at the manor."
"Where you saw me die"
"Yes. The stalker broke in through the window and you came downstairs to see if anyway was home. He then grabbed you from behind and tried to choke you but you flipped him over. He then pulled out his gun and shot once at you but that bullet missed. You tried to grab the gun from him but he was too quick and he shot you in the stomach and in the chest area". Phoebe paused for a moment to regain herself "He then told you that he would win but even as you were dying you were steadily taunting him. He then preceded to kick you in the stomach multiple times and he used your blood to right on the wall and it said I told you I would tie up ever loose end, it is just you and me now. He shot Leo one more time in the shoulder and then he died. The stalker was just laughing and smiling and I couldn't stop him but I felt Leo's pain. It was horrible" Phoebe could no longer keep her composer and was now crying again like she was in her vision. Coop who had just gotten back from the house went over to her and rested her head on his shoulder.
"It is okay honey", he said to her
"I know, but it still hurts and there was nothing I could do to save him" Phoebe hiccupped
"Phoebe honey don't worry, you were taken there for a reason and we are going to stop it okay", Paige replied. "Leo you have any ideas who would do this"
"No but I do know where she was taken"
"Where", everyone wondered
"It is called the Vision Plane. Only people with physic abilities like Phoebe's can be called there and it takes someone very powerful to call a person there. It is one of the places that the Elders cannot watch over"
"That is what the voice said to me when she called me"
"Do you know who it was, how did you know it wasn't something demonic" asked Paige
"Because I just knew, the person seemed very familiar like I knew them before or something. Trust me they were not threatening at all" Phoebe looked over at Piper and noticed she had not said one word since she started talking. 'Piper are you okay"
"It's just like the dream"
"You mean that dream you had last week"
"Yes just like it, everything is just the same" said Piper. "The bullet wounds, the stalker talking about tying up loose ends. It is just like the dream."
"So this person is seriously trying to warn us about the stalker, so this is good right", Paige said hopefully The sisters always thought she was a pessimist so she was trying to be an optimist.
"Yeah it is good, as long as we keep positive thoughts then we will receive positive outcomes" said Mel
"Thank you after school special, but back to business what do we need to do to stop this premonition from happening because I will be damn if this jackass takes my father away from me", replied Wyatt
"Wyatt Matthew Halliwell you will stop using that language right now" snapped Piper
"Sorry mom, I just got caught up in the moment" he told her trying to put on his angel face
"It is okay Wyatt, just be careful alright" Piper turned to look at Leo because he had not said anything since Phoebe told them her vision
"I'm fine" Leo mumbled
"No you are not, I can see it in your eyes" said Piper
"How do you know"
"Call it lovers intuition, now lets go to our room and you can tell me what is wrong"
Piper grabbed Leo's hand and with that they left the attic to leave the others to come up with ways to prevent the future from happening. When they got there, they both sat on the bed and Piper put Leo's hand in hers
"Now sweetheart tell me what is wrong" Piper asked Leo again
"I don't think that I will be able to be too escape death this time" Leo said softly
"Why would you say that, of course you will. That is why we got those visions to save you"
"But there is a chance you might not be able too"
"Why are you doing this, you act like you don't want to be us anymore" Piper yelled
"Piper that is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard. I became an Avatar so I could help create a world without demons, so you can have a normal life. I gave up my powers to be with you and the children and I would do it again. So don't you dare say that I don't want to be with you" Leo replied softly but firmly
"I am sorry Leo but this is just making me nervous, and I am scared" Piper said as Leo pulled her closer
"And I am scared too, I am scared that I won't be able to stay with you and the children. I already escaped death twice, you know what they say third times a charm"
"Leo I think that only prefers to things that are considered good luck charms" Piper laughed
"Yeah I know, I just wanted to make you laugh, and see that beautiful smile of yours. Piper I know you are scared but we will get through this I promise"
"Okay, but we are not leaving you alone at this house ever by yourself, I promise you that. And please let us protect you and don't try to be all macho on us okay" Piper said
"Okay" and with that Leo kissed Piper softly on the lips just as the children and Phoebe stood in the doorway
"Ah please can my parents stop trying to get their freak on every time I turn around" snapped Chris
"Well they say that the forties are the new twenties and if her sex drive is like it was when she was in her twenties then there will be no stopping her" proclaimed Phoebe
"Phoebe/ Aunt Phoebe", everyone shouted while looking at her
"I would appreciate if you did not talk about my sex drive in front of my children" yelled Piper. "We already had enough of that at dinner"
"Yeah, I mean trying to keep down dinner here" said Chris who was eyeing his parents sternly. He didn't understand why his parents couldn't just do normal old people things like knit or golf but his parents were just freaks, at least that is what he told other people. They were always kissing or holding hands in public and the sight was disgusting and embarrassing at the same time, especially when his friends were around
"Sorry, you know some people actually knock before they come into someone's else's room" Leo replied
"Well technically the door was open and we didn't come in, we were just standing in the doorway" retorted Wyatt.
"Well what do you guys want now that you are all here", asked Piper
"We wanted to see if you were okay, I mean I want both of you to be okay but I am more worried about Leo being okay since he is the one who actually gets shot and dies" said Phoebe
"You don't have to remind me of that Phoebe" replied Leo
"Sorry, I am just nervous and when I am nervous I ramble"
"Just like Aunt Paige" said Mel. "But back to the bigger picture we need to come up with a different plan to keep our father safe and to stop that grim future that Aunt Phoebe was telling us about."
"What grim future" asked Piper
"Well the person in the vision told me that if Leo dies, a series of unfortunate events will happen that will cause the world to fall into total darkness"
"Wow dad, who knew you were so important" smirked Chris
"Ha Ha very funny, Christopher"
Chris winced at the sound of hearing his full name called. He only heard that from his dad when he made a joke or comment but he always heard it from his mom when ever he go in trouble which was often
"Sorry Dad", mumbled Chris
"It is okay, I know you were just trying to lighting the mood, unfortunately you are just as bad as your Aunt Paige"
"Hey I heard that" yelled Paige who was just coming downstairs to Piper's bedroom room. "You can't talk about me behind my back, I would prefer if you did it in front of my face"
"Whatever you say Paige, now what are we going to do"
"Well there is nothing much we can do, but we can have you near someone with powers at all times. That way the killer can't get to you."
"How about I stay at magic school until someone comes and gets me. That way I won't be alone at no time of the day. Or I could stay there at night
"Won't you be lonely Dad" asked Wyatt. "I mean all the teachers leave at night"
"Yes but some teach night classes, I think Karen teaches some night classes so I could have her to talk to"
"Oh Hell no, over my dead body. You can come at nights like you have been planning on doing" snapped Piper
"Piper don't tell me you are jealous of Karen. I told you she has no interest in me what so ever"
"Leo not to burst your bubble but she does have an interest in you. Let me tell you she is filled with desire, sexual desire" stated Phoebe
"How do you know"
"Empath remember, plus anyone with two eyes can tell that she likes you. I mean come on how many time can you drop the same pencil on the floor, hoping that you would bend down to pick it up"
"See I told you that she liked you, now do you believe me' asked Piper
"Well then I guess we won't be going together on that trip then" said Leo
"What trip"
"The trip for the senior class trip we are supposed to be chaperoning together. I think the children wanted to go to Cancun, but I was still debating"
"And you two were going to go together"
"Yeah we were, along with Jake and Natalie, but I guess I cannot go"
"Not unless you want me to tell Paige to orb your family jewels far away to China" replied Piper
"Ouch Dad, that would hurt" said Chris trying to hold back a laugh
"Just checking, so I would take that as a no. So now that we have this all figured out, the kids need to get to bed because they have school in the morning"
"Alright, night guys" the children mumbled as they left the room
Phoebe grabbed Coops hand and they teleported out while Paige gave Piper a kiss on the cheek and she too orbed herself home.
"Lets go to bed I am very tired" said Leo
"Yeah me too, you have to help me at the club in the morning so lets go"
"Hey since when"
"Since I said so, so lets go"
"Whatever you say Mrs. Wyatt"
"Ah that is Queen Piper to you" Piper replied. "And now for your punishment" Piper kissed Leo again and closed the bed room door with her foot.

Dan had been sitting at the same bar for over an hour now. He couldn't believe that he had screwed up again. He wanted so badly for Piper to come back to him because he truly felt that they belonged together. But who was he kidding. He could tell that Piper wasn't over Leo ever time he looked into her eyes but he tried desperately to make her his. He would never forget the conversation they had when he finally realized it was over
Flashback
"Piper would you please listen to me, Leo Wyatt is not who he says he is. I have proof. You cannot sit there and ignore it"
'Dan like I said before I know who Leo is and I wish you would respect my wishes and move on"
"Why Piper, I thought we were happy. I thought we were in love"
"I thought so too but I realized that I was trying to love you. But I couldn't because my heart still belonged to Leo. It always has. I know in my heart that we belong together"
"But whatever problems we have we can work through them, I love you don't you see that" Dan grabbed Piper by the wrist and began pulling her close to him
"Dan let go of me", Piper yelled but he refused
"Not until you tell me that we have another chance, I love you too much to lose you"
"Well I don't love you, now get the hell off of me" Piper shouted one last time as she tired to jerk away
"Fine", Dan screamed and pushed her away. "But remember this Piper Halliwell, he will never love you like I do, never."
Those were the last words that they exchanged and he thought that Leo and Piper wouldn't last at all. He thought he was right when he met up with his cousin Greg and he told him that he too had dated the infamous Halliwell sister. Greg told him that they were divorced but the way he saw them tonight, they must have reconciled. They seemed to be one big happy family while he was all alone. It sucked big time but he couldn't move on until Piper was his again, he just couldn't
"He bartender send another my way" Dan said as he gulped down his shot of whiskey
"Don't you think you have had enough" the bartender asked him
"No you can never have enough when your heart was just broken"
"Be there done that" The bartender grabs the bottle and refills two of his shot glasses. "Well in that case these two are on the house"
"Thanks", and with that Dan drunk the last two shots and returned to his thoughts
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
I have been following Piper around for a long time now and it is like she doesn't even know I exist. I
have taken countless of pictures of her, where she looks stunning in each. Though I tired not too, I even
have a couple of pictures of Wyatt. God I wish I could kill him and get it over with. I want to cause him
the same pain that he causes me every time I see them together. It is like a million daggers pierce my
heart and I can feel it losing all of it's blood. I saw her today and she spoke to me, Her voice is like a
sweet melody that gets stuck in your head, that you can't stop singing. Her face has beauty that can be
magnified ten times. Her smile can light up a thousand rooms and I love her with all of my heart. Now I
am sitting here trying to write my beloved a piece of poetry that she will cherish forever because it is from
her one true love. She will see once I get rid of Leo, which is why I brought this brand new shiny gun. I
can see it now as I pull the trigger and release all six cold metal bullets right into his chest. Laugh as I
watch his pathetic body fall to the floor and his blood because ice cold as it spills from the body. Then I
will take Piper by the hands and she will thank me for saving her from the man she thought she loved.
She will laugh at his lifeless body as he takes his last breathe. Then Piper leans over her perfect body
and kisses me with the same passion and desire she used to and whispers in my ear the saving I have
been waiting for. "I Love You". We then go hand and hand into the sunset and remain together forever.
This is how it will be once I get rid of Wyatt, which will be any day now.
