Previously:

Voices in Jo's head (later known to be Jericho):And if it wasn't for the lame potion that you did, she would've still been alive, right?

Jo: Yes! I'm the freakin' reason my sister is dead.
Jo (falling on her knee, sobbing): It should've been me! It should've been me.

Jo: All you need to know that this is one battle you need to win! We can't afford it happening like last time if we want to save Wyatt. We have to change the results, we have to vanquish Mass.

Piper: Are you sure about this potion?
Paige: Yes, it's the strongest I've ever made.

A demon -who Billie just vanquished his brother- looked at Billie who was fighting another demon and charged towards her with an athame in his hand. Billie turned around just in time for the athame to meet her stomach. A faint cry of pain escaped Billie's throat as the demon thrusts in the athame a little bit more and twists it.

Phoebe was almost done -healing Billie by channeling Paige's powers- when a demon knocked her out from behind.

Jo didn't notice that all the darklighters she just attacked exploded, except for one, who took advantage of her obliviousness and shot a perfectly aimed arrow at her back. Jo gasped as she felt the tip of the arrow puncture her skin, and the arrow embedding itself in her back. Jericho noticed the dangerous injury and reacted by throwing an energy ball at the darklighter before he can shoot again. Jericho screamed angrily and threw his hands to the side vanquishing every single last demon left. Jericho skidded to Jo's side and tears swelled in his eyes as realization hit him.
Jericho: No, no, no, no!

Jericho: Come on, you can't die now!

Jo's eyes fluttered, but she whimpered as the pain hit her full force.

Jericho: Thank God! You gotta stay awake, I'll take you to the manor now.

Jo (shaking her head weakly): Bar-bas...

Jericho: Who fuckin' cares about him now? I won't let you die Aunt Paige... I can't.

Jo: The arr.. arrow... the arr...

Jericho: What about it?

Jo: Pull it... out.

Jericho (knowing how much pain that will cause): I... It's better to... I c...

Jo: Now... or I'll... die.

Jo hit a nerve, his fiancée died from a darklighter's arrow which he didn't have enough time to pull out. Jericho held the the arrow tightly with both hands. He pulled the arrow out with all his strength to be quick, and Jo sobbed silently at the pain, but was relieved of some pressure.

Jericho (as he pressed a part of his shirt on her bleeding wound): The arrow wasn't too far in, so the only problem is the poison.

Jo gathered her strength and tried to stand up, and Jericho immediately assisted. Jo leaned almost all her weight on Jericho, because she could barely stand on her own. Jo knew that the sane thing to do is to go home, get healed, then come back for Barbas; however, she wasn't willing to take the risk of giving time for the demons to regroup and start round two.

As soon as they reached Barbas's cage, Jo held on to the metal bars, wanting to relieve some of her weight off of Jericho, who was exhausted himself. Jo wasn't shocked to find Barbas conscious, and has been watching the whole fight. Barbas started smiling at them evilly.

Jo (taking a deep breath): What are... you smiling... at?

Jericho: You realize you're about to die.

Barbas: Sure you'll try to vanquish me, but when has that really worked?

Jo took the ancient looking vial out of her pocket and swung it in front of Barbas's face, whose smile fell.

Jo: That's right... it's a real... van-quish this... time.

Jo and Jericho were surprised when Barbas just started laughing. Jericho shared a look with Jo, wanting to know if the potion would actually work, and Jo nodded.

Jericho: You're a crazy masochistic bastard!

Barbas (speaking to himself mostly): I can't believe that idiot's plan actually worked.

Jo: What?

Barbas: His plan to delay you has worked!

Jericho: Just vanquish him, he's trying to distract you.

Jo: Barbas... for once in your life, no games... you're abo-ut to... die!

Barbas (looking directly at her): You're too late, what you fear the most is happening right now. You failed!

Jo was confused but it suddenly clicked in, what would she fear the most and make her fail at the same time? Jo threw the potion at Barbas's feet and flames started engulfing got vanquished while laughing like a maniac about how Mass's stupid plan worked.

Jo (to Jericho): MANOR NOW!

-Manor, Attic-

Piper reversed her direction -from going to help Phoebe- and started running back towards Paige -because she was oblivious to Mass aiming an arrow at her. Piper threw the special potion that she kept in her pocket -just in case Mass himself attacked- towards Mass and the unknown demon. Piper cringed involuntarily as the potion hit the ground but only vanquished Lester, and only made smoke arise around Mass, not even injure him.
Mass laughed evilly as he pulled the trigger, releasing the arrow. Paige heard the unmistakable sound of the arrow, but as she commanded the arrow to orb away, the arrow kept on going in her direction.

Piper pushed Paige back into the couch right before the arrow would hit her, having no time to get out of the way herself, the arrow pierced through her heart. Piper's mouth was held open in a silent scream of agony as she dropped to her knees, then to the ground...

Jo (shimmering in with Jericho just in time to see what happened): NOOOO!

Everyone seemed to freeze suddenly upon hearing Jo's heart wrenching scream. The demons were shocked, it was what they came to do but none of them thought they'd actually witness it happening. Mass's mouth was held open in disbelief, he killed a charmed one. Granted not the one he was after, but she was a charmed one nevertheless.

Having no time to orb out, Paige gasped as all her senses registered pain.

Every single part of Paige suddenly hurt. She felt her heart breaking, as the bond she shared with her sister disappeared, and her brain aching as Piper's thoughts were suddenly ripped away from her head. Her mind couldn't get around what happened. She heard the vial breaking, which should've hurt Mass, but instead it did nothing. Then the arrow... the arrow was about to hit her... the arrow hit her? No, the arrow was supposed to hit her, but Piper... Piper. Paige felt tears slide down her face as what happened really hit her.

Billie (in a voice not louder than a whisper): Oh God, oh God.

Paige dropped to her knees beside her sister instantly, trying to heal her. That seemed to snap everyone back into reality. The demon cheered in triumph and happiness, make Billie and Jericho only angrier than possible.

Billie started throwing potions everywhere, knowing that they were bound to hit some one. Jericho started conjuring energy balls and throwing them at the demons, his strength restoring from all the pain and despair in the room.

Jo was on her knees staring in disbelief beyond what was going on in the attic. She failed... She watched Piper die again, but the same man, in the same way, at the same situation, even though it was a different time. Jo shook her head, this wasn't supposed to happen yet... it's too early. She remembered the day like the back of her hand, yet she missed all the warning signals. She knew the times were bound to be affected by her presence, it was why she was bugging the sisters with all that future consequences crap, so things wouldn't happen when they're not supposed to!

Jo felt the world around her blurring, and she knew it was because of all the darklighter's poison in her system. Honestly, she didn't care what happened to her now... Saving Wyatt and the future depended on one thing, and one thing only, not letting Piper die in the fight against Mass. It's why Wyatt let her go when she was in the future, it's why everyone had faith in her; everyone knew that had she been given a second chance, she wouldn't have let Piper die... yet here she was staring into her sister's -previously vibrant with love and care- lifeless brown eyes.

Last thing Jo saw was Jericho's blurry figure helping her lie on the ground, then everything went black.

Later, Phoebe was crying as Coop wrapped his arms tight around her, her big sister died and she couldn't do anything about it. Both her older sisters were taken away prematurely, but this time Piper left her boys and husband behind. Worse of all, she could feel everyone's pain and it hurt her very very much more than it normally would have, but Phoebe accepted it, thinking she needed to feel something, otherwise she'll lose her mind.

Paige was sitting on the Golden Gate Bridge, with tears streaming down her face. She didn't bother wiping them away, because it didn't matter... Nothing mattered. Paige blamed herself on so many different levels that she couldn't even comprehend how it couldn't be her fault. Firstly, she knew about Piper's death from Jo's thoughts on several occasions. She knew approximately when and how because she saw read Jo's mind when she was having a nightmare about it.

Secondly, Jo -who is her future self- knew everything that revolved around Piper's death and did nothing to stop it.

Thirdly, the arrow was an inch away from her... it should've been her that died not Piper. Mass was after her, not Piper, yet Piper was the one to suffer from the consequences.

Paige stared at the vast ocean ahead, feeling very small and negligible in comparison, she would've chosen to die instead of Piper had she been given the choice, and she'll find a way to bring her sister back using that notion.

Leo was holding his boys, the closest thing he has of Piper, tightly and sobbing. Henry and Billie tried relieving him from the kids but he wouldn't let them go, he wouldn't let them get taken away from him like Piper was.

Leo just couldn't believe it happened, he felt a sharp pain in his heart when he was at magic school and that's when he knew something was wrong. He might not be magical, but his love for Piper was so great that when she died, a part of him died with her.

Jo groaned as she opened her eyes because all her body was sore. Jo tried to sit up and was surprised to find someone helping her.

Jericho: Easy... Easy...

Jo murmured a thank to Jericho who sat next to her.

Jo: What... happened?

It was weird how a completely different character he seemed to be now, his body once brute and shinning with power was now hunched over making him look smaller than he actually is. His eyes once furious and determined where now void of all emotions except sadness.

Jericho: You passed out from all that darklighters' poison in your blood, luckily Paige managed to gather her strength and heal you.

Jo shook her head as she buried her face in her hands.

Jo: I can't believe I let that happen.

Jericho: It wasn't your fault...

Jo: I missed all the signs.

Jericho: There were no signs, it just came too early and unexpected.

Jo smiled weakly at Jericho's poor attempt to make her feel better.

Jo: Where is everyone?

Jericho: Phoebe is with Coop in the guest bedroom, she's not feeling well with all the emotions running in the house. Paige orbed out, so I'm not sure where she is. Henry and Billie are with Leo and the boys in the kitchen... What are we going to do now? How do we save Wyatt and our world?

Jo (trying her best to hold back the tears): I'm not sure, our whole mission depended on Piper's survival and she's dead... I failed...

Voice (by the book of Shadows): That's what you think, and that's where you're wrong!

Author's notes: I know, an unexpected event but that's the scene that I had in mind ever since I started writing this story. What do you think?

This chapter was originally 11 word page's long, which is really too long for this story and would've gotten boring, so I decided to split into two and work on the second part for a little but more.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this, and I would love to hear who you want the Voice at the end to be of. Stay tuned, because if you think this the end, then you're wrong!
