"Piper, honey, why do you keep looking at them?" Phoebe asked.
"Phoebe...you know she's a witch." Piper replied.

"So?" Phoebe asked, fanning herself on the streets, they sat and drank lemonade, the two sisters. Their cousin, Prue would join them soon. Across the street talking and kissing were Leo Wyatt and Delia Rodgers.

"An evil one too! And...still what does Leo see in her?" Piper asked, a frown on her face.

"I'm not sure honey, don't get all worried about it!" Phoebe said.

Delia and Leo stopped kissing and were walking off when Leo stopped to tip his hat at Piper and Phoebe. His eyes locked with Piper's, and she smiled shyly. Phoebe nodded to him.

"See...if you're gonna be shy like that, you'll never get him away from Delia!" Phoebe said.

"Am I too late to talk about Piper's problems?" Prue's voice came from behind.

"No, just on time." Phoebe replied.

"Phoebe, Prue, I can love him much better, she doesn't really love him, I know it, you can see it in her eyes." Piper protested.

"Sure Piper, honey, whatever you say." Prue replied.

"But, it's so true, we're good witches, but she's not, I'm so sure of it." Piper said.

"And, what are we supposed to do?" Phoebe asked, pouring herself another glass.

"Open up Leo's eyes, show him the light." Piper insisted.

"You mean, show him that you're better for him than Delia? Honey, I don't believe it, yet...you'll have to prove it first." Prue said.

**********************************

"Delia, where're we going?" Leo asked.

"You'll see." Delia said, leading Leo. She stopped when they rested atop a high cliff.

"Delia...the view from here is just...." Leo began.

"Gorgeous." Delia agreed going behind Leo, and prepared to push him off the cliff, evil reflecting in her eyes. She drew back her hands and prepared to give him a hard shove, right over the steep cliff, and show him his demise, then she could collect his power.

Piper walked swiftly over to the direction Leo and Delia had gone off. Her sister and cousin had talked her into going to Leo. If he was really destined to be with her they told her everything would fall into place. Piper had to build up all the courage inside

her to do this. She spotted Leo and Delia looking out at the magnificent view. Leo was close to the edge so close. This made Piper’s heart flutter what if he fell. Piper caught view of Delia behind him. Her arms back as if she where going to push him. Suddenly it all came clear to Piper. She had known from the instance she had saw Delia that she was evil. Now she was trying to kill Leo. Piper quickly sprinted over to them. Finally getting in range she threw Delia over to the side with her powers. Right before she could push Leo.

Delia hit the ground hard cursing. Leo saw his love on the ground and quickly ran over to her.

“Are you ok honey?” He asked concern written all over.

“Yes fine.” Delia grunted. Suddenly she spotted Piper.

“Well I’ll be dammed a good witch.” Delia mumbled realizing what Piper was.

Their eyes locked both knowing they where enemies tell the end. Delia brought

Leo down to her and kissed him passionately knowing exactly what Piper was after. She had noticed her watching him wanting him.

Piper looked away at the sight. Delia had come so close to killing him yet he didn’t know a thing. Leo just thought she was his sweet innocent love. Piper was about to run back to Prue and Phoebe, but something pushed her on.

“Hello.” She greeted sweetly.

Leo pulled away from Delia and stood up to face Piper. He hadn’t noticed before but she had the most gorgeous brown eyes. He hair was neatly placed upon her head in a bun. With to strands that had escaped lining her elegant face.

“Ahem!” Delia grunted waiting for Leo to help her up.

Leo pulled Delia up never taking his eyes off the lady before him. Delia stood next to them watching them stare at each other in amazement. As if they where to long last lovers. *Well this has got to stop* Delia thought getting angry. She wasn’t going let this good witch get in the way of what she wanted.

“Leo we should be going!” Delia exclaimed grabbing Leo’s arm roughly. She started pulling him away.

“Wait!” Piper yelled not wanting to loose them. She couldn’t let them be alone who knows what Delia had planned. Piper knew she wouldn’t be able to take it if

she lost Leo. Even if he didn’t know that they were meant to be yet.

“Well…” Delia said aggravated. Leo couldn’t speak he was overcome by this new feeling he had. It felt sooo good and soo right.

“Ummmm ummm how about you come for tea.” Piper suggested finally being able to think of something.

“I don’t think…” Delia started.

“We would love to.” Leo interrupted taking Piper’s arm. He knew it was wrong but he couldn’t help it.

There was something about her that made him go crazy. A feeling that Delia never gave off. They started to walk towards where her sister and cousin sat. Delia

walked behind them knowing now she had to kill both of them.

"Piper, you brought...company?" Phoebe asked, when she saw Piper and Leo, and smiled, until she saw Delia, then her smile became a frown.

"Delia." Phoebe greeted her coldly.

"Phoebe, well, I haven't seen you since..." Delia smiled bitterly.

"Since you stole Matthew away from me?" Phoebe asked.

"But, I have my Leo now." Delia said, clinging onto Leo's arm.

Her eyes momentarily flashed green and Leo seemed to stiffen. The feelings he had for this woman with the brown hair seemed to die down, and the only thing he could think of was Delia.

"Yes, but, wouldn't you like some tea?" Piper said, pulling on Leo's other arm.

"Ow, will you two please let my arms go?" Leo asked. Piper and Delia let go and shot each other glances behind his back.

"Phoebe, may I see you quickly, and we need to get some tea." Piper said, and headed briskly inside. Phoebe smiled at Leo, then Prue.

"I'll be right back." She said, to everyone but Delia. And Phoebe disappeared inside.

"Phoebe, I need a revealing spell of some kind." Piper said, frantically searching through their herbs.

"A what?" Phoebe asked.

"When I got to talk to Leo, Delia was about to shove him off a cliff!" Piper said, waving her hands around, more hairs coming loose from her bun.

"I know where some are." Prue's voice came.

"You're going to help me?" Piper asked.

"After what she was going to do to him, of course!" Prue nodded. Prue opened a cabinet and pulled out a sache of herbs.

"Here." Prue tossed them to Phoebe.

"Can you mix them into tea?" Piper asked her.

"Easily." Phoebe said.

"Knock, knock." A female voice pierced the room.

Prue, Piper and Phoebe froze. It was Delia, in the door.

"Leo wanted to know what was taking so long, he does have to work you know." She said coldly.

"We'll be right out." Prue said, and ushered Delia outside and then left too.

"You go too Piper, I'll bring a special cup of tea for Leo." Phoebe said, lighting the fire. Piper collected herself and did her hair neatly and then went outside.

"Hope y'all didn't miss me much?" Piper said and took the seat next to Leo, and inched it closer to him.

"Not at all." Delia said, without feeling.

"Who wants tea?" Phoebe said, cheerily and entered the group, and set 5 cups on the table, one in front of each person.

"Well, perfect timing. I'm mighty thirsty." Leo said, and picked up the cup in front of him, and drank it in 2 gulps. Piper watched him with ravenous eyes.

"Well, like it?" Piper asked, hoping the spell would take place, and the potion would kick in.

Leo felt his body start to tingle all over. He glowed a soft gold and passed out.

“Oh gosh!” Piper exclaimed falling to her knees next to him.

“What the hell was in that tea!?!” Delia exclaimed.

Although if they did happen to kill him it would make her job a lot easier.

“What kind of herbs where those?” Piper asked Prue.

“Don’t worry.” Prue replied confident.

Piper rubbed her hand gentle against his cheek. His eyes fluttered opened and stared at Piper. Her beauty was astounding he now knew that Delia defiantly wasn’t for him. For this was his soul mate, his one love in this world.

“Are you alright?” Piper asked truly worried. What if the herbs had some kind of effect they hadn’t counted on.

“Yeah just a little dizzy.” Leo replied pushing himself up.

He stared right into her hazel eyes vasking in there beauty. They where so full of life

and love. He could stare in them all day and wouldn’t get bored. Suddenly they both got and urge to kiss each other that was just too intense to resists. So they moved closer to each other locking lips. Piper brought her hands to the back of his neck as he

brought her closer. They where totally wrapped into each other. Nothing could stop that kiss.

Prue and Phoebe clapped their hands happy that Piper had been right. She had found her soul mate and nothing would tear them apart now.

“What the hell!” Delia exclaimed getting very pissed off.

“Hmmmm that’s where you’ll be going.” Prue said pointing a finger to Delia.

“That’s what you think.” Delia exclaimed throwing some green powder into Leo and Piper’s direction.

Piper pulled away noticing the dust heading in their direction. She quickly moved it with telekinesis back to Delia. She yelled as it surrounded her.

“UGH I’LL BE BACK!! THIS ISN’T THE END!!!” With that Delia disappeared to who knows where.

“All those accidents weren’t accidents where they?” Leo asked remembering the many times that he was near death. Delia had claimed they where all mistakes accidents. Leo probably would have realized it for himself earlier if it weren’t for her mind

controlling.

“Yeah I know this magic stuff can be kind of hard to  understand but…..” Piper started not knowing where to go. If she told him her secret which was pretty obvious by now would he leave her?

“Your not the only one with powers around here. Why do you think she was after me in the first place?” Leo replied feeling her worry. The girls stared at him in shock. How could they have missed that simple detail?

"You...have powers?" Piper asked, she never would have thought.

"Of course." Leo replied.

"Well, wait a minute. So, Delia was after you because of your powers?" Phoebe asked, trying to clarify the situation.

"I think so, well, now, looking back I do think that she was. But, she won't stop now." Leo told the three.

"So, all that means is we're gonna protect you." Prue shrugged.

"She's powerful, when I think about the times that I did almost die, at her hand." Leo began, he then glanced into Piper's eyes, and almost melted again, he tried to speak clearly. "She could kill, easily."

"But, she wasn't able to succeed!" Piper said, wanting to be held in his arms again.

"I'll go and get our book." Phoebe said, and entered the house again.

"Have you got the feeling I do?" Leo asked Piper.

"Like a hole has been filled, right here?" She asked, motioning to her heart.

"Exactly." He said, and took another drink in the pool that was her eyes.

"Here it is." Phoebe re-entered with a dusty book, and set it on the table.

"What are we looking for?" Prue asked.

"Something to do with evil, evil witches." Leo said, unsure. Their book was much thicker than his.

"I found something here. How to vanquish an evil witch." Piper said with excitement.

"That'll work." Prue said.

**********************************

"Little witches, think they can get away with it! Think I won't come hunting them down? For revenge? Little Piper, and Leo, your lives will end soon." Delia cackled, she stirred the cauldron beneath her.

"Poison? A curse? Something original. After all, this is more than just wanting powers, now, it's personal. No one steals a man from me, even if I didn't love him anyway." Delia smiled evilly, and added an ingredient to the brew.

"Soon, death will touch your lips Leo. And yours too, Piper." She said.

**********************************

“It looks like we need some more herbs to do this spell.” Prue commented looking over the spell.

“We don’t have enough for this kind of spell.” Phoebe sighed.

“Guess I’m on herb duty then. Care to join me?” Piper stated turning to Leo.

“I would be delighted to.” He responded smiling.

He took a hold of her hand squeezing it lightly. This was a sign for both of them knowing they would get threw whatever fate had in store for them. They would get

threw it together.

“Alright you two get the herbs and Prue and I will get the rest of the ingredients.” Phoebe concluded as the two walked outside. The sky had darkened from the last

time they where out.

Meanwhile Delia grinned evilly at the green liquid she held.

“Now for a little change.” She stated waving her hand in front of her face. Her faced maneuvered into the form of Piper’s.

“Not bad now for the hair.” Delia commented as it turned from its golden blonde to a

beautiful brown. “Hmmm hopefully I wont get stuck like this.” She laughed. “Now if I am to do this I musten get poisoned myself.” Delia said pulling out a spell.

*The poison that has been brewed

Not to be affected by its use

Make me immune, never to die

This spell say the, hear my cry*

Delia felt a fuzzy feeling go threw her and she knew the antiposion spell had worked. “And the finishing  touch.” She stated waving her hand in front of the poison. It danced around her finally landing on her lips. “Green won’t do.” She sighed waving her hand

once again as it turned a bloodish red. “Now the fun.” She disappeared from her spot in search of her victims.

Leo and Piper stood in front of an old looking shop.

“You stay here the owner is well a little insane.” Piper commented laughing a bit.

“Alright.” Leo replied as Piper headed in. He sighed leaning on the wall.

“Hey my love.” Piper stated coming towards him. He looked up surprised she had been so quick.

“That didn’t take to long did they have what you wanted?” Leo questioned noticing she carried no herbs.

“Yes they are in here.” She stated pointing to her pocket.

“Then shall we be off?” He asked taking a hold of her arm.

“Hmmm Leo I think I’ve fallen in love with you.” She sighed looking dreamily into his green eyes.

“And I you.” He replied looking into her eyes.

Something seemed different they weren’t the magnificent brown they had been the first time he stared into them. Piper knew exactly what he was thinking. She pulled his head down and brought him into a hard passionate kiss. She ran her hands up the

back of his neck as he wrapped his around her waist.

They pulled apart and Leo suddenly felt faight.

“Are you ok my love?” She asked noticing the change.

“Yeah just ummm just a bit dizzy.” He replied putting his hand to his head. The world started to spin.

“Alright Leo I’m ready.” Piper stated coming out of the shop. She gasped seeing herself smiling wickedly in front of her. “What in the world?” She questioned then saw Leo. He looked deadly pale and as if he was going to collapse. “What did you do to him!?!?” She exclaimed running to him. He fell to the ground but Piper caught him easing his way down.

“I always get what I want Piper.” Delia replied her features changing back to her own. “Once he is dead I receive his powers. And soon I will have yours.” She laughed.

“No.” Piper sobbed feeling Leo’s head. It was already burning up.

“Piper……” Leo gasped as the pain become more intense.

“Yes hunny I’m here its really me.” Piper sighed running her hands threw his hair. Tears stung her eyes for she knew she was loosing him.

“I….. I love you.” He rasped.

“No don’t you say goodbye.” Piper cried harder tightening her grip on him.

“I’m I’m…. sorry.” Leo answered taking his last breaths. His heart slowed down tell it stopped.

“No!” Piper screamed as her love left her. “I can’t lose you.”  "No...no..." Piper knelt over him and held his hand tightly. She couldn't believe that he was gone.

So soon, she had just found him, and he had found her, in their hearts. And, now he was gone.

Delia only smiled and softly cackled behind her, she knew what was to come, what she was to do next.

"I need you here." Piper sobbed.

Delia held out her palm and a sharp knife appeared in her hand, she grasped the handle tightly and closed her eyes at the euphoric thought of revenge, and

smiled a crooked smile.

She took a few steps until she was above Piper.

"I told you I would have revenge." She whispered, not audible. She raised the knife high above her and felt the energy pulsing through her body. Knowing the powers she could collect within a few minutes.

She lowered the knife and plunged it into Piper's back. Piper opened her mouth and sucked in as much air, the shock in her eyes, the betrayal they gave off. Her eyes flashed her love for Leo one last time as she slowly collapsed to the dusty ground.

She felt the wound in her back, the pain, the sharpness of the knife, and she felt the air enter the wound. Blood was rising from her stomach and she felt death arrive.

Delia dropped the knife and stood above Leo and took his powers, breathed in life. Piper now lay beside her love, lying beside him in death as she would have in

life, and she put her hand over his with her last ounce of strength.

From the heavens, they were connected, one together in death. Their hands joined their souls and showed their quickly developed love for one another.

Delia smiled again, and stood above Piper. She wanted all the power she could get, and she always got what she wanted.

"Double the powers, how excellent." Delia whispered, and left Leo and Piper there alone.

Alone to the world, but to their hearts, they were content. They were together. And, they knew that one day, they would be together again.

“Please no don’t kill me.” A man pleaded in a dark ally. He was all out of breath and now cornered. He stared wide-eyed at the figure before him. “Please I beg you. Do you want money? Here.” He threw down his wallet. The person looked at it on the ground and it burst into flames.

“What I seek is much more important than money my dear.” The voice was so evil it would send a chill up the bravest mans spine.

“What what do you want?” He asked pushing himself back against the wall, as the person stepped forward. The figure stepped into a ray of sunshine that peaked

threw the alley. Although her face was covered in shadows he could see it was a woman. She wore a blood red top and a black skirt that hugged her waist tightly. Her blonde hair gracefully lined her face. He could not make out much more but could swear her eyes glowed a devil red.

At first glance she appeared to be a beautiful woman that any man would want. Of course no man would ever approach her if they knew what was in store for them.

“I want what is hidden deep within.” She replied finally answering his question. She twirled the knife that laid comfortable in her hands.

“I…. I don’t understand..” He replied confused at what she meant.

“Your powers, which have just recently been awakened. The ones you don’t even know how to use yet.” She answered stepping closer.

He cringed, as she was just a few inches away. She ran the flat side of the knife around his cheek teasing him. He squeezed his eyes tightly knowing what was to come. His life would end here and he knew there was no way to escape it. She pulled his head to hers placing her lips roughly on his. He opened his eyes surprised at what she had done. She took this opportunity and pushed the knife threw his stomach. He gasped as the pain wavered all threw his body. She pushed harder twisting it around. Blood pored out staining his shirt. His body collapsed to the ground. The last thing he saw was her evil smile.

“Damit this blood better come out!” She exclaimed looking down at her own cloths. There was a stain on her new skirt, which did not please her. She sighed looking at the corpse before her. Shrugging she headed out of the alley before anybody could find her. She stepped back into the sunshine of daylight. Cringing at the light she made her way threw the crowded street. Everyone was always way to busy with there own business that they hadn’t even heard the slight scream of the man she killed. Someone bumped into the woman and she cursed.

“I’m sorry I’m in a hurry.” He replied heading off.

She stopped in shock, as she knew that voice. She turned around at the quickly hurrying figure. Yes that was indeed the backside of someone from her past. She

quickly followed him ducking people as she rushed. He turned into an alley not far from the one she had been in. When she reached it all she saw where blue orbs.

“Well well I guess he’s moved up in the power chain. Hmmm I’ve always wanted whitelighter powers.” She laughed evilly turning back around. “We will meet again Leo hunny.”

“How could you lose him?” She cursed herself.

Although, she knew that all was not lost. One of her powers was now tracking, and some of his whitelighter dust had rubbed off on her.

“It’s not over yet, Delia.” She told herself. Her thoughts turned to how she could find and kill Leo, one more time. She sensed another soul that was familiar; her scent was intertwined with Leo’s. She sniffed again; it was vaguely familiar, but still strange.

**********************************

“Leo! Leo! You’re back! Did you get it?” Phoebe bounded at him as he appeared in the manor.

“Yeah, I got it.” Leo fished a package out of his coat pocket.

“Piper!! Prue!! He got it!” Phoebe grinned and grabbed it, jumping up and down as Piper and Prue came running into the room.

!What is the big deal with an ingredient?” Leo asked, puzzled.

“You obviously have never had Piper’s duck.” Prue scolded him playfully.

“Well, no I haven’t.” Leo smiled and admitted.

“Well, then you wait here, while we go prepare.” Phoebe said, and left.

“Is all this really necessary?” He asked Prue and Piper. Prue walked off with a smile.

“Anything for my guy’s birthday, I mean, it isn’t every day someone turns 88 and still has the body of  a…” Piper began.

“Piper!” Prue interrupted. Piper smiled mischievously at Leo, and winked, before walking off. He let out a laugh.

He sat down to rest his feet. He reflected to the woman he had bumped into earlier. He knew her from somewhere and just remembered where from. Delia. A past life he had tried so hard to forget.

A red, bloody mist appeared in the room and Leo coughed at it. Piper, Prue, and Phoebe came into the room. Piper grabbed at Leo’s sleeve and was half hidden to the woman who appeared. She was blond and was beautiful, but there was no mistaking that she was evil.

“You…. You two found each other!” She screamed when she saw Piper and Leo holding on to each other.

“Delia.” Leo said spitefully.

“You remember me?” Delia smiled, pleased.

“No, just your name.” Leo said coldly.

“Who are you?” Piper asked.

“You should know, of all people, that look in your eyes when I killed you told me that you’d never forget.” Delia spitefully said. Piper felt a cold chill run down her spine.

Delia turned to Phoebe and smiled evilly, she pointed a finger out and fire shot at Phoebe.

“Ahhh!” Phoebe screamed and rolled to the side, letting the fire hit the wall and disappear.

Leo, Piper and Prue stood and stared at the power in shock.

“Y’all like that don’t you.” Delia said. “Well, you should Leo, after all, it did used to belong to you.”

“Leo? You had powers?” Piper asked him.

“Piper, freeze her!” Prue insisted.

“Leo…why don’t you have that kickass power now?” Phoebe asked getting up.

“Phoebe, how about we just concentrate on getting rid…of her!” Piper pulled on Leo’s sleeve.

“Piper, please.” Leo claimed his sleeve back.

“Oh, sorry. All right, a spell, or something, Phoebe?” Piper asked.

“I don’t think a spell is gonna work on her Piper.” Phoebe said. Delia unfroze and glared at the three.

“I will be back. Trust me.” She rasped and vanished in a blood red mist.

“Who was that?” Prue questioned after Delia had disappeared.

“I don’t really know….. Its all so fuzzy all I know is she’s from the past and is our enemy.” Leo replied trying to think of what she did to them.

“So is she from a past life?” Phoebe questioned.

“Most likely.” Leo answered, “We should probably look in the book of shadows. Maybe there is something about her there.” Leo suggested.

“Do you think the elders will give you any information?” Piper questioned she was holding onto him tightly.

For some reason this Delia person threatened her. She said she had succeeded in killing her. That meant she was a real threat.

“I doubt it but it doesn’t hurt to try.” Leo replied,  “Don’t worry she wont hurt us we are stronger than ever.” Leo could tell Piper was feeling uneasy about this whole thing. “I’ll be back soon.” He kissed her softly.

“Hurry back.” Piper sighed as Leo orbed out.

“Alright book of shadows.” Prue stated headed upstairs. Phoebe and Piper followed after her into the attack.

**********************************

“Hmmm they are now the Charmed ones the greatest witches of all time.” Delia stated as she skimmed the page of a magic book. If she was going to succeed she knew she had to do some research. “All there powers will be very useful.” Delia laughed thinking how nice it would be to have the power of three. “I will get all three witches and Leo.”

“Delia one of the worst evil witches out there. Her main goal is to acquire as many powers as possible. Her powers are uncertain since she gets new ones often. She must kill the subject to get their powers. Usually she uses a knife but she has been known to

kill differently.” Phoebe read of in the book of shadows.

“Does it say how to kill her?” Piper asked pacing around the room. She couldn’t let this thing hurt her or Leo.

“No.” Prue sighed.

“What are we going to do? We don’t know where she is or…… Whoa dizzy.” Piper muttered falling to the ground.

“Piper!” Prue exclaimed easing her way to the ground.

“Is she ok?” Phoebe asked frantically. Prue checked for a pulse and found a steady one.

“Yeah just knocked out.” Prue answered whipping away some of Piper’s hair out of her face.

“Ummm what the hell!” Piper exclaimed searching her surroundings. She found herself in a small town. “Im not in San Francisco anymore.” She muttered. Suddenly she caught site of herself on the other side of the street. “What in the world?” Piper questioned crossing over. Herself dressed in old-fashioned cloths was walking down the street holding hands with Leo. They didn’t seem to notice her in fact they just walked right threw her. “Oh please tell me this isn’t happening!” Piper sighed frustrated. She followed the two not knowing what else to do. She was obviously

here for a reason.

The past Leo and Piper stood in front of an old looking shop. Piper stood behind them waiting for them to continue.

“You stay here the owner is well a little insane.” Past Piper commented laughing a bit.

“Alright.” Leo replied as Piper went into the shop. Piper stared at this Leo thinking how cute he looked. He looked hot any time she sighed softly. Someone

crossed the street towards them. Piper stared wide eyed there another Piper.

“Hey my love.” Leo looked up surprised she had been so quick.

“Ok??? I didn’t come out yet.” Piper stated confused.

“That didn’t take to long did they have what you wanted.” Leo questioned.

“Yes they are in here.” Piper replied pointing to her pocket.

“Then shall we be off?” He asked taking a hold of her arm.

“Hmmmm Leo I think I’ve fallen in love with you.” She sighed dreamily taking a hold of him.

“And I you.” He replied looking into her eyes. The real Piper noticed Leo’s forehead crease. He must have noticed something wrong with this Piper. She pulled

his head down to hers and brought him into a hard passionate kiss. She ran her hands up the back of his neck as he wrapped his around her waist. When they pulled apart Piper gasped Leo looked so pale.

“Are you alright my love?” Past Piper questioned a slight smiley peaking out.

“Yeah just ummm just dizzy.” He replied putting his hand to his hand. The world started to spin.

“Leo! Why why would I do this?” Real Piper yelled knowing he was about to collapse.

“Alright Leo I’m ready.” The real past Piper stated coming out of the shop. She gasped seeing herself smiling wickedly in front of her. “What in the world?!?” She exclaimed then noticed her Leo looking deadly pale. She could tell instantly that he was about to collapse. “What did you do to him!?!” She yelled running to him. He fell to the ground but Piper caught him easing his way down.

“I always get what I want.” Delia replied her features changing back to her own.

“LEO!” Piper gasped sweat poring off her.

“Piper Piper calm down it was just a dream.” Prue soothed running her hands throw her hair.

“No I saw what she did to him! She killed him! Prue she killed him! And she’s back to do it again!” Piper cried tears trickling down her cheeks.

“No sweetie we wont let her.” Phoebe replied forcefully knowing they couldn’t let Delia do what she was here for.

Piper paced back and fourth in front of the book of shadows. Phoebe, Prue, and Leo where downstairs trying as best as they could to think up a spell or potion. But they where shooting in the dark Piper felt hopeless. She knew that Delia was powerful she could feel the power radiating off her. Not just any old spell would do it. They needed the exact and correct one. If there was even one made to kill her. Piper sighed leaning on the stand to the book.

“Some help you are today.” She muttered throwing it on the ground. As it hit the ground a bright gold light surrounded it. Piper stared at it only half shocked.

She picked it back up and placed it on the stand. The pages turned rapidly tell finally stopping on a page in the back. Piper read the page and smiled happily. She quickly ripped it out and ran down the stairs.

“I’ve got the answer!” She exclaimed jumping off the last step.

“Good because we are coming……..” Prue stopped as she saw the light mist form.

“Just a tad to late.” Delia smiled evilly. She twirled the knife in her hand as she had done so many times before.

“Delia if you leave we will let you live.” Leo stated grasping at straws. This only made her laugh even more.

“Hmmmm and forgot the joy of killing you for a second time….. Naaaaaaaah.” She laughed tossing her hair back. Her hands started to glow and before anybody could do anything a blot of lightening was sent crashing into Leo. The force threw his body hard

against the wall. He slid to the ground the impact knocking him out.

“Leo!” Piper exclaimed tears escaping her eyes. She rushed to his side and searched for a pulse. She let the breath she had been holding out when she found it.

“Don’t worry I killed him first last time… I’m thinking this time I’ll try something new.” Delia replied truly enjoying herself. Piper threw up her hands and froze Delia.

“I should have done that in the first place.” She muttered. “I have to make this potion Pheeb's try and wake Leo up. Prue take care of her if she unfreezes tell I’m done.” Piper stated taking charge.

“Right.” Both Prue and Phoebe replied.

Piper rushed in the kitchen searching threw the cabinets for the ingredients. She finally found them all and started mixing them together. Luckily the position didn’t have that much work to it. In a mater of minutes she was finished. Piper ran back into the other room to see Delia still frozen. “Good it didn’t wear off.” She whispered.

“Piper I can’t wake him up.” Phoebe stated frantic from Leo’s side.

“We need him for this.” Piper replied going next to him. “Come on Leo wake up.” She whispered into his ear. Suddenly Delia unfroze she looked around only mildly confused.

“Hmmmm nice power.” She stated in that same confident way. Prue motioned with her eyes sending Delia into the wall. The knife fell out of her hands as her body hit.

“Prue the knife!” Piper exclaimed. Prue sent the knife carefully at Piper.

Delia picked herself back up getting angry.

“Oh Yeah I can do that to.” She replied with a flick of her hand Prue was sent back with ten times the force. Delia looked down to see her precious knife gone.

“Prue!” Pheeb's exclaimed seeing her older sister being thrown. She quickly tried to kick her down but Delia was too quick. She sent her with her older sister.

“Leo please.” Piper pleaded urging him to open his eyes. He groaned a server pain running threw his head.

“Wake up Leo.” Piper stated as Delia came closer she was less than thrilled that Piper had her most precious object. Leo moaned a sharp pain running threw his body. He opened his eyes staring up at Piper confused.

“Can you stand?” Piper questioned. Leo nodded and Piper helped him up she didn’t want to move him but they had no choice.

“Give me back my knife it wont kill me.” Delia laughed at the lame attempt to defend themselves.

“Maybe not alone….” Piper started freezing Delia than poring the potion on the knife. “You have to do it.” She handed the knife to Leo.

Just as Piper unfroze Delia again Leo plunged the knife into her heart. She gasped for breath but none came. The taste of blood made her choke. She stared down to the very thing that had given her pleasure…. It destroyed her. She fell to the ground the life sucked out of her. Fire surrounded her body engulfing it in flames. Soon there was nothing left of her but a pile of dust. Leo fell back on the couch weak from the whole ordeal.

“Are you ok?” Piper asked she was overjoyed that she was finally gone. She would no longer hunt any of their lives again.

“Yeah I’m alright.” Leo replied also glad that everything was all right.

“Dam that girl can pack a punch.” Phoebe stated from on the ground.

“Oh man my head.” Prue sighed trying to get up. Phoebe helped her over to the couch.

“Where did you get the potion to kill her?” Prue wondered out loud.

“Well I got a little letter from my past self.” Piper explained showing them the page from the book of shadows.

“Thank god for you’re past self than.” Pheeb’s laughed.

“Come on Pheeb’s lets go upstairs.” Prue winked up Phoebe. She was about to protest when Prue grabbed her arm. “No buts.” With that the two girls disappeared up the stairs.

“Hmmm I love you so much.” Piper sighed leaning her head oh his chest. “I was almost afraid we weren’t going to make it there.”

“I’ll always be with you no matter what.” Leo whispered kissing her gently. She wrapped her arms around him bring his body as close as she could to hers.

“I love you always.” Piper replied as they pulled away a bit. She let herself lean on him more closing her eyes.

“I love you two.” He whispered brushing her hair back.

He could tell that she had already started to drift off. The whole ordeal must have been very stressful for her and worn her out. He sighed closing his own eyes enjoying the feeling off her sweet embrace. Nothing would pull them apart nothing that he was sure of.
