As the Smoke Clears
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Piper felt the tears stick to the side of her face as she held the love of her life, lifeless body in her lap. Since the moment she got there, she knew that something was wrong and now she realized what that was. She couldn't believe that the man that had been terrorizing her for such a short time now had finally gotten his wish. Her husband was dead and he was not returning. And no matter how hard she got Chris to try to heal him, it would never work. Once again, someone she had loved had been taken away from by evil. The only difference this time is that the evil was not a demon or even a warlock, but it was a regular, ordinary human being. And he was the worst evil she had ever faced in her life. As she held Leo's head in her lap, she recalled the memory that involved her son and niece just moments before.
Flashback
Piper found herself speeding down the highway praying that the cops wouldn't pull her over. She just got off the phone with Darryl and told him to met her at the house because something bad is going to happen. He thought is was something to do with a demons but she assured him that the "demon" was in fact a human being. As she pulled onto her street she glanced at the dashboard and saw that it flashed 9:00. The SUV pulled into the driveway and Piper got out of the vehicle, just moments after the packing exploded right inside her house. Not wanting to waste time she blasted the door of the hinges to find some of her furniture on fire and pieces flying everywhere but other than that it seemed fined, until she saw Chris on the floor next to the broken table and beside him his cousin Prue.
"Oh my God Chris, Prue, are you two okay" Piper said hurrying to her son's fallen side
"Hey mom, where are fine, just tried to orb out but the blast knocked me backwards in mid orb" He replied lifting his head off the ground
"That is good to know, but what are you two doing here. Did a demon attack"
"No mom a demon did not attack and I know that I am so dead but there is something I " Chris replied as he got up off the floor and he grabbed his cousin's hand
"Yes you are, but if a demon didn't attack; then what are you two doing here, why aren't you in school" Piper said sternly
"Don't be mad at him Aunt Piper, I had a vision the Uncle Leo would be killed by a package with a bomb so we came to save him"
"But that is impossible, he is at Magic School" Piper stuttered
"No Mom, he wasn't. He was here when we got here from school and then that package exploded before", Chris didn't finish his sentence because he realized that his father was no where in the room. "Mom's where is Dad"
Piper and Prue looked at each other and then began to search the room frantically. Prue began to shout out his name. They started to pick up the burned pieces of furniture trying to see if Leo could be buried beneath.
"Leo, if you are here, get you ass somewhere where we can see you now" Piper began to say out loud to the room "Please tell me where you are, all you have to do is make a sound and we can find you." After a couple of seconds of doing this, she began to break down and cry. She sees Chris coming from the sunroom and tells his mother the horrible news
'I found him, and he's not breathing" Chris says quietly

Leo found himself floating onto a plane that he was quite familiar with. When he had died during the war, he was summoned to this place when the Elders asked him to be a white lighter. Now he couldn't remember what he was doing here now, but for whatever the reason it could not be good.
"Is anybody here" he called out into the dim-lit room and only heard his voice echo. He looked around and tried to remember what happened that had landed him here
Flashback
Leo decided that it was time to head back to Magic School because he had to prepare to teach a class. He started to head up the stairs when all of a sudden a ringing sound came out of nowhere. At the sound of the third ring he walked back to the kitchen because he thought it was the telephone. He picked up the cordless and realized that wasn't it
"R……i…….n……g"
"What the hell is that noise", he said to himself again and stopped when he entered the living room where the package was sitting. He picked up the box and heard it ring for the fifth time. He put the package back down thinking that it was the gift going off and her it ring for the sixth time. He started to walk away from it but turned around to see his son and niece orb in behind him.
"Dad watch it, that package has a" Chris began but before he could finish the rest, an explosion rippled through the living room, causing the table and the sofa to be blown up and debris to fly everywhere around the room.
He heard Chris yell out to him but never got to hear the ending of that sentence. He dropped the box on the ground but it was too late. He felt his body being thrown across the room and felt his head hit the wall as he heard a loud crack. As he fell down to the floor face forward, he realized that blood was seeping from the open wound. He tried to call out to his son and niece to make sure they were okay, but it didn't work. He tried to form his lips into a shape but no sound could be heard. Next thing he knew he was looking down on his body and floating upward towards the ceiling. Now he was in this room, with no idea if his son was okay.
"I can't believe that I am dead again." Leo muttered to himself. "Well at least I wasn't shot again"
"Wow Leo, pessimist much. I can't believe you are comparing being shot to being almost blown up" a voice called to him from the room. "Aren't you even a little bit sad that you are dead again"
Leo looked at the person, "Yes I am because I won't see my family anymore." Leo sighed and looked at the figure again. "But wait, I have a question, what am I doing here"
"All will be revealed in due time" the voice answered
"And I thought I used to be cryptic when I was a white lighter." Leo laughed "Anyways what are you doing here"
"I am here to save you"
"Why would you want to save me, do I know you" Leo asked the person
"Yea, you know me but lets not get into that now."
"Okay so how will you save me"
First I need you to place your hands over mine"
"Why"
"Because Leo it is not your time to die, and I am not going to let you"
"How are you going to save me" Leo wondered
"Well I am hoping that since the Angel of Death didn't take you to the other side, I beat the Elders to you first."
"Okay"
"Anyways I am hoping that I can give you some of my immortality, but just enough to cross you back over to the other side. There Paige, Wyatt and Chris can come together to heal you"
"And how long did you think about this"
"It is just a theory, I just need to test it out"
"But wouldn't that"
"But nothing, I am doing the work. All you have to do is put your hands over mine"
"But what if they can't heal me"
"Leo, Paige is a Charmed One, Wyatt is Twice Blessed and so is Chris. Not to mention they all are half white lighter. I think that they will be able to handle this"
"And what if this doesn't work"
"Then you are stuck with me in the afterlife for all eternality, now give me your hands"
"Hey I can't keep cheating death, it goes against the comic balance"
"Hey Leo, you are not a white lighter anymore so screw the cosmic design" the voice yelled. "It is time that you start worrying about yourself because no one else is. Now I am going to save you whether you like it or not. So now do as I say and give me your damn hands alright"
Leo thought a moment before he spoke again. The spirit was right, he needed to focus on himself. He had a family that he wanted to see again and he promised Piper that he would do anything and everything to stay with her. Finally shaking his head, he gave the figure his hands.
"Okay, you don't have to be so bossy, harsh much" he smirked as he said that. The much statement was a phrase he got from his daughter whenever he made her do something she didn't want to do. Leo placed his hands over the figures and an orange glow surrounded him. At first he didn't feel different but that was before he suddenly felt his spirit becoming lighter. He felt himself flow back downward but before he fully left he realized who he was talking too.
"Wait a second" he said in shock "I know who you are now"
"I knew you would figure it out, but please don't tell anyone. It isn't time for anyone to know yet"
"Why not"
"Like I said all will be revealed in due time"
"Cryptic much" Leo laughed. "Don't worry about anything. Your secret is safe with me and thanks"
"For what"
"For saving my life" and with that Leo's spirit went back to his body
"No problem, it's my job" and the figure disappeared back towards the heavens

Meanwhile at the Halliwell Manor
Paige and Phoebe arrived at the Halliwell Manor along with Wyatt and Melinda who already had tears in her eyes. As soon as Paige got them out of school, Mel and Wyatt's crystal shined a dark blue while they were at lunch. They both knew something bad had just happened to their father and found a secluded place to call Paige to sign them out and orb them home. Phoebe knew what happened because she had the same premonition as her daughter Prue did, when she picked up the family portrait of the entire Halliwell-Wyatt-Matthews clan. They walked into the sun room where they found Chris and Prue on the floor crying and Piper holding Leo's head in her lap as she cried on his chest. Wyatt and Melinda walked over to their brother and pulled themselves into a three way hug, while Prue found comfort in Paige's arms. Phoebe was the first to walk over to her sister and tried to find the words to comfort her. She really couldn't find the words to say because she had never been through something like this before. She mean she had lost Cole but Cole was evil whereas Leo didn't have a mean bone in his body. To see him taken like this was practically devastating.
"Piper", Phoebe said while trying to grab her hand
"No go away" Piper whispered
"Piper, I want to help you please"
"No just go away"
"Piper"
"It's not fair"
"What is not fair sweetie"
"It is not fair, that everyone I love dies"
"That is not true" Paige spoke out to help Phoebe out with the reassurance, her own voice quivering.
"Isn't it. First Mom, then Grams, Prue, the other Chris, and now Leo." Piper said wiping the tears from her eyes. "I mean was I that bad that they had to take him too. He didn't deserve this, not like this. He didn't deserve to die to die at all" Piper began to scream. "I want him back and I want him back now, because I need him" Piper slowly leaned her head back onto his chest started crying hard again. "Leo please come back" Piper was so involved in crying that she didn't realize Leo take a breath. Nor did she realize his face form a smile or his eyelids flutter a little bit before they opened.
"Well all you have to do was ask" he whispered in her ear.
Shocked everyone turned their heads up to see that Leo himself had just spoken despite the fact of just being proclaimed dead. Even though he had spoken on his own, it was barely above a whisper because he still was bleeding from his skull. Piper still in shock was the first one to speak.
"Paige heal him" Piper screamed but everyone who had white lighter blood in them ran over to Leo's side and placed their hands over his body. All the powers of the three white lighters created a pure white glow as they concentrated on saving their love one. Slowly but surely the wounds on his body began to close and after a minute or so his wounds were completely healed
Leo got up off the floor and everybody just stared at him in awe, wondering how he could still be alive right now
Wyatt and Chris were the first to break the silence and ran over to their father to hug him tightly
"Dad, how is this possible" said Chris after Leo released his sons
"Well I don't know, one minute I am dead, the next minute I am not. Are you and Prue okay"
"Yeah Uncle Leo, we are fine, we weren't the ones near the package, but I am happy to see you" Prue and everyone else but Piper walked up to him and hugged him and welcomed him back to the land of the living.
Leo walked over to his wife who had yet spoken a word to him since he was brought back. Everyone expected her to be happy to have him back and crying and kissing him, welcoming him back. But what they got was something nobody would have expected. Piper walked over to her husband, lifted her hand and slapped him hard across the face.
"How dare you" Piper ranted. "You sick son of a bitch, how dare you try to leave me" she said slapping him across the chest repeatedly. "I will be damned if you die and leave me with three children, 2 jobs and a household to run by myself. If you thought that for one minute that I was going to let you die without a fight then you were sadly mistaken. I had have a mind to die myself, go up to the afterlife and kick your corporeal ass all the way back to your body. Don't you ever do that again, because if you do it will be a cold day in hell before I talked to you ever again" Piper screamed all in one breathe.
The family watched as she lifted her hands again and they were scared of what she would do next but they calmed down to see that she wanted to hug him
Leo who was not as shocked at the outburst than the rest of the family but still it was unexpected just grabbed her around the waist. "I am so sorry and I didn't mean to scare you. And I promise that I will never do that you you again"
"You better not, or next time I just might blow your ass up" Piper whispered
"Please don't because that would feel just as bad as being blown up by a package disguised as a bomb"
"Not funny dad, seeing as you almost died from that" said Melinda as she went over to hug her father. "But seriously what happened. Did you really die"
"Yes I really did, but I was in the spiritual plane, and someone told me that it wasn't my time yet and I got since back"
"Do you know who it was, Leo" asked Phoebe
"I think it was the same person who showed you that premonition"
"She is hell bent on saving you"
"You have no idea", muttered Leo to himself
"What was that" asked Piper. Piper had known Leo long enough to know when he was keeping up from her. She wanted to press him on the matter but before she could there was a knock at the door. "Oh I forgot I had called Darryl"
"Piper why would you call Darryl, how did you know that there was danger at the house" questioned her sister Paige
"Because he told me, he sent me a card with his number on it and I called him"
"You did what, how could you do something stupid like that" screamed Phoebe
"Phoebe calm down, if I hadn't I wouldn't have known that he was planning to do something bad. Plus I wanted to see if I could recognize his voice okay"
"Well did you"
"No the jackass used one of those voice changing thingies so it was pretty much distorted. But the more I think about it, I feel like I have heard his voice before" Piper stated. She heard the knock on the door again and realized she couldn't avoid it any longer. "Boys one of you go to the door and let Darryl in the house"
"And what are we going to tell him" Wyatt asked
"Don't worry about, I will take care of it" Leo responded
"And what are you going to say, How are you going to explain your clothes" asked Chris
Everyone looked at Leo and realized that even though he healed up quite nicely, his clothes were still torn. No one had noticed that since that rarely ever happened.
"I can take care of that" Paige suggested. "Let the object of objection become but a dream as a cause the scene to be unseen." White lights surrounded him and his clothes were changed to look brand new
"Okay fine I will let Darryl in" and with that Chris walked out of the room and came back with Darryl.
As Darryl came into the room, they noticed along with him was the detective they talked to at the station a few weeks earlier.
"Hello Darryl, Detective Martin it is nice to see you again", Piper said as she held out her hand to shake theirs
"Sorry Piper, we had another emergency we had to check out first" said Darryl. "Is everything alright here"
"Yes as you see in the other room. From the looks of it, the box did explode but luckily no one was home"
"Lieutenant Morris, do you think I could question the family" asked Detective Martin
"Oh sorry you have met Detective Martin, but I don't think that would be necessary. It seems that no one was hurt"
"Morris, a someone could have been hurt or worse murdered here today, I think that we need to report this"
"It's okay Darryl" said Leo, "I will answer any questions that you have for me"
"Okay Mr. Wyatt, care to take me to another room"
"Sure follow me"
Leo and Detective Martin walked to the kitchen leaving Darryl with everybody else
"Darryl why did you bring him here" hissed Piper
"I am sorry but he heard me talking to you on the phone and he insisted that he come with me. You better be lucky I told him not to bring the forensic people over here okay"
" I know Darryl, I am just scared that is all, Leo almost died"
"I thought you said no body was hurt"
"Well he was here but the boys and Paige healed him, the point is I almost lost him today Darryl"
"Piper I promise you, I will do everything in my power to find this person. You know I will. Can't you use magic to find out who this person is"
"No, as much as we would like too, this person is not magical and it would seriously fall into the personal gain category" replied Paige
Darryl was about to say something else when he saw Leo and Martin come back from the kitchen.
"Detective I hope you have everything you needed"
"As a matter of fact I did Mrs. Wyatt. You husband is very lucky indeed, the bomb from the looks of it was actually not that powerful. If you had been close to it, it probably would have been deadly"
"I guess my dad's angels are working in overdrive huh" smirked Chris
"Yea Angels, if you don't mind I would like to take the left over into evidence" asked Martin
"I think that would be alright." relied Piper. "Detective is there anything else we have to do"
"No there is nothing else, but if you wouldn't mind coming down the station later. We want to discuss you having a police officer outside your residence"
"What, I don't need a police officer outside my door" snapped Piper
"It may not something you want, but it is something you need. At least until this person is caught"
"This is not a person" yelled Paige. "This is a sick bastard that is trying to harm my sister and my brother-n-law and any other family member that gets in the way. And what makes it so bad it that you seem to have no leads on who this person could be. No idea what so ever, even though we have been at this for weeks. I don't understand what is taking your asses so long to figure out a resolution and the criminal behind this matter. What is it that you do that in those offices of yours, sit on your ass and eat donuts all freaking day"
"Mrs. Halliwell, please calm down, we are doing everything we can to find this creep. You just have to have trust in us"
"Well you better, because if anything happens to anyone else especially my sister and brother-n-law, it will be your ass on the line. So get it together" and with that Paige walked out of the room into the kitchen
"Paige what the hell" hissed Piper
"Meeting" Phoebe said glances towards her other sister
"Meeting" Piper and Phoebe followed in the footsteps and walked to the kitchen while Leo showed Darryl and Thomas (Detective Martin) the way out. Before Thomas let out of the house he turned to Leo and said "I know how much you love Piper from watching you two together. I will treat Piper as if she was my own wife with love and care. I promise I will protect her, even if I have to kill anyone that stands in the way of that protection"
"Thank you" Leo said and closed the door as the police officers left
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
In the kitchen, Piper had just put some water on for tea and stared at her baby sister wondering what had gotten in to her lately. Normally Paige would only have sarcastic comments to lash out at people, but she only when she felt pressured or scared. She never had outburst like this before even when she was afraid. Piper feeling like it was time to talk to her sister decided to start speaking
"Paige what the hell has gotten in to you, why did you say that to the detective. He is only trying to help us"
"I sorry Piper, I didn't mean to" Paige said as she brushed her hair away from her face and started to cry.
"What is wrong sweetie"
"I am scared"
"Scared of what" asked Phoebe
"I am scared that I am going to lose one of you." Paige cried "I haven't lost anyone close to me since my parents died and I don't think I could survive if it happened again"
"Paige honey" her sisters replied as they went over to hug her.
"You are not going to lose any one okay. You have to believe that" Phoebe reassured her
"I have a really bad feeling that this is going to get worse before it gets better and that scares me"
"Well Paige, it is alright to be scared but you shouldn't take you feelings out on others"
"Oh and that is why you yelled at Leo, when he woke up" smirked Paige while Phoebe let out a laugh in the background
"Now that was different"
"How"
"Because Leo is my husband and I have a right to do that, where as the officer was a complete stranger"
"I know, I just can't lose any of you guys. I don't know if I would survive.
"Paige, you have to have complete faith and believe that we are going to make it through. We Halliwell's are stubborn when it comes to giving up, we won't go down without a fight.
"You promise Piper"
"Yes I do Missy Paige. Now come give your favorite sister a hug"
"Hey" yelled Phoebe. "How come you get to be the favorite sister"
"Oh Phoebe you know I love both you equally" Paige said as she got up and hugged both of her sisters. No matter what neither of them said, she still couldn't shake that something bad was just around the corner
Meanwhile upstairs Mel had quietly slipped away to her room to get away from the people that had just arrived. Her Uncle Coop decided that he might as well sign out the other children because he thought the family could use the support. Right now she didn't what to talk to anyone. She couldn't get over what she saw today, when they orbed into the house. She had seen her parents hurt before, but not like her father was today. He was actually dead, not breathing, gone, and for some reason in that moment Melinda found she couldn't cry. She gazed at her fathers lifeless body and yet no tear were forming in her eyes.
Leo had seen his daughter try to slip away, trying to get away unnoticed but it didn't work and he saw her go up to her room. He stood at her door and watched her grab her teddy and proceed to cry on it
"Mel, are you okay"
"You were gone", she said between sobs. "I saw your body and you were not breathing or moving. You were dead and gone"
'Don't worry about that, I am here now"
"But you gave up the first time, easily. You didn't even try to fight for us"
"Mel you know I wouldn't do anything like that, I promise
"If it happens again, if death comes back for you, will you fight for us, or will you just give up again"
"I didn't give up"
"You did", screamed Mel. "I saw you dead, not breathing, and for that spilt second I thought you were not coming back. You were going to leave me by myself and in that spilt second I was beginning to hate you for trying to leave me. You were going to leave me, Wyatt, Chris and Mom by ourselves. Why do you want to die and leave us all alone. You made me want to hate you and for that spilt second I did" By the time Melinda finished yelling she was in tears
Leo went over and grabbed his daughter by her shoulders and began to cradle her in his arms. He held her closely while she cried in his chest. "I am sorry you felt that way. I'm sorry for making you feel that way. And like I promised your mother and brothers; I promise you next time I will fight harder"
Melinda wiped her tears and looked up in her father's eyes "You promise"
"I promise, I will fight and break every rule there is to stay with you, your mother, and your brothers. Do you believe me"
"Yeah Daddy, I believe you." Leo tried to get up but Mel grabbed his hand
"No Daddy, don't go. I am tired can you stay with me until I go to sleep" Leo couldn't deny anything to his little girl so he gave in to what she asked him. He held on to her for about 30 minutes after she returned to sleep. He carefully laid on her bed and preceded to get up. He glanced down at his watch and realized that it was almost noon. Leo went downstairs to see what everybody was doing
He came back down the stairs and saw his wife and sons in the kitchen.
"Is everyone alright" Leo asked the group
"If you forget that someone tried to kill you again, we are pretty much fine" Chris said sarcastically
"Chris, stop being a jerk" retorted Wyatt
"I am not being a jerk, I was just being honest"
"Children, stop the fighting now" said Leo. "Where is everyone"
"I sent them home" Piper said. "It has been a nerve racking day for everyone so I sent them off to rest."
"Good, Mel has been taking this rough"
"What do you expect her father died today"
"But your back now and that is all that matters" Wyatt added
"You guys are right" Leo said. "Since you guys are not going back to school, would mind coming with me to Magic School. You could help some of the teachers"
"Oh Dad" both of his sons whined
"I think that is a good idea, that way you three can spend some time together" Piper said forcefully
"Okay, but only because we love dad so much"
"Ha Ha very funny" smirked Piper.
"Well you guys go ahead and go, I will be there in a minute" Leo watched his two sons orb off and he looked at wife with concern in his eyes
"Piper are you okay"
"No I am not okay Leo, how am I supposed to be okay when you were dead today" Piper whispered
"Piper"
"Don't Piper me Leo, for the first time in my life I was scared that you weren't coming back. When we first met and I found out you were a white lighter and we were forced to separate I knew that you would come back. When you became an Elder, a part of me knew that you would come back to me and you did. Then you got frozen and I was without you for a long time but I knew I would win you back eventually after I won the battle. Each of those times I had some type of feeling that you would return to me, but today I didn't have that feeling. I saw your body and I felt that you weren't coming back." Piper began to cry silently to herself
Leo went over to Piper and placed his hands around her waist as she rested her head on his shoulder. "Piper, when it happened I was scared also. I was scared that I wouldn't see you or the kids again but I came back. I came back with the help of someone special so don't be scared. Because we will get through this like we always do"
"But what if we don't"
"Don't think like that, aren't you the one who told me not to give up. Well in order for me to have faith you have to have faith too right"
"And I do, I always have and I always will" Piper stood on her tippy toes and kisses Leo softly on the lips. Leo bent down and kissed her again with more force and both of them were deeply kissing. They were so busy kissing, they didn't hear Chris orbing in behind them.
"I can't believe this, my father wanted me to leave without him so he can make out with my mother"
"Chris you sure do know how to kill a mood, you know that right" said Piper as she pulled away from Leo's lips
"Well it is my job to keep you two from having more children. I slipped up and you see we got Melinda for that."
"Funny Chris, very funny", Mel said as she came down the stairs
"Mel I thought you were sleeping" her father asked her
"Well I woke up when I heard the knuckle head was talking about me" Mel responded as she grabbed a soda out of the fridge. "So what is everybody up too"
"Well if I can pry dad away from mom, we are going to magic school. You wanna come"
"No, I will just chill here with mom, you guys go ahead and go"
"Come on dad lets go, Miss Thompson keeps asking about you"
"Really" Leo asked while he lifted up his eyebrow
"Yeah, she said that you left and she was wondering when you were returning. She seemed kinda nervous, did something happen today at school"
"No nothing that I know of, well I did catch her checking me out today"
"What", Piper screeched throwing her hands up and the toaster blow up. "I got half a mind to blow that bitch all the way to the moon"
"Piper calm down" Leo grabbed Piper's hands and placed them by her side. "How many times do I have to tell that I have no feelings for Karen. I love you remember"
"I know, but women can be very manipulative"
"Don't worry mom, me and Wyatt will make sure that slut will stay away from our father"
"Christopher, Karen is not a slut" Leo said sternly
"Well what else do you call a woman, that tries to seduce a happily married man" Mel asked
"A bitch" Piper muttered
"Piper"
"Sorry, but she gets on my nerves". Piper looked up at Leo and seen the seriousness in his eyes. "Fine go, but don't be too long, I want you all home for dinner. We are going out tonight because I am too tired for cooking"
"See you tonight" and with that Leo kissed her one more time, while Chris grabbed his hands and orbed out
"I still hate it when he does that, even though he isn't a white lighter anymore."
"Mom how did you get so lucky"
"With Dad, how were able to find a guy like him"
"I don't know but I am glad I did. Sometimes I feel that I don't deserve a man like him"
"Why would you say that"
"Because" Piper began, "I sometimes can be very mean and aggressive. I take my anger out on other people, sometimes being a complete bitch. Some days I don't see how he can put up with me but he does, and I love him for that"
"Will I ever get someone like that" Mel asked her mom
"Of course honey, there is someone out there for everyone. Trust me I am living proof"
"Why would you say that"
"Lets just say I was a total nobody in high school. I had thick glasses, braces and acne everywhere. While my sisters were out having the time of their lives with dates, I was stuck at home with grams baking cookies. And even then sometimes Grams had dates and bridge club. I thought I would never find love, I even felt that way when I was older but I found your dad. And my life just fell into place afterwards"
"Wow, mom who knew you were such a geek" Mel laughed at her mother
Piper went over and smacked her daughter on the arm. "Yeah I was, and high school was the worst time of my life, but enough about the past I have something we can do since the boys are gone. Lets go shopping, with the day I have had, I could use some new things especially some new furniture for the sunroom."
"You said it. But first let say a spell to clean up this mess. Let the object of objection become but a dream as I cause the seen to be unseen as she said the kitchen cleaned up itself"
"Personal Gain" screeched Piper
"Oh mom, you only live once" Mel and Piper grabbed their purses and headed out the front door to do something to take their minds off of today's event
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
For all those who thought I was going to kill off Leo, you were sadly mistaken; well this time anyways but I am not making any promises for the future. Leo got to live another day, but the stalker is still out there waiting to catch his prey and hatching a new plan. Will he be able to suceed next time and finally get Leo out of the way.
Like I have stated previously all reviews are welcomed. The good, the bad and the ugly.
Next Chapter: The Calm Before the Storm
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
This has nothing to do with the story but I have millions of ideas for other stories. I want all my loyal readers to help me chose my next story to post,
Here is the list
Deadly Obsessions Two: How the table have turned:(In Progress) A woman will do whatever it takes to get Leo to be hers, no matter what the cost.

What happens when these two met and the sparks fly. Will they be able to find true love in each other, or will they end up more shattered than they were before.
If You Only Knew:(In Progress) No one knows anything about Leo's life before he was a whitelighter and Chris thinks his father doesn't know anything about sacrifices. What happens when someone from the heavens shows them how wrong they are.
