"Piper wait, I didnt mean what I said!"
Piper was already half way to the third floor of the house when she heard him call out. She continued the familiar route up the next flight of stairs towards the attic. She was not happy. How dare him. How dare him disappear on her all those years ago, suddenly pop back into her life now, kiss her, then leave again. He had some nerve trying to go back on it now. She wanted to forgive him though, despite her better judgement. Piper hated it when her heart and her head played this tug-of-war game with her.
Piper stopped dead in the doorway to the attic. Something was definitely not right. She slowly crossed to the semi-center of the room and gathered up the old Book of Shadows in her slender arms. She was positive someone in the house wouldnt just leave it out like that. That hasnt happened since the kids were young and would look at it on the floor. Someone else had been in their home. Someone not of the Good variety.
"PHOEBE! PAIGE!" she yelled as Blake entered after her.

After waiting down by the steps some he heard Piper shout for her sisters as he walked up to the attic. He slowly makes his way up there and he enters after Blake did. "Piper thanks for saving me, Is everything ok." he would look to her he would know the look in her eyes that somethng was wrong. After all they were married for awhile and he knew her. He looks to Blake wondering who he is but Piper seemed to trust him and he was ok with that. So he looks at Piper, Its trus he did love her still very much. But would she ever take him back after leaving to be a elder.

Blake stood at the door to the attic, "You think I left you five years ago dont you!?", he asked, shocked that she would think that. "How dare I?", he shouted, "You think I would leave you like that, I was locked up in hell for the past five years, and now im starting to have to adjust to the things that have been happening to me, over the past year!", he said, then crossed his arms, waiting for her to reply. He looked around, then back to her, "Your not gonna ask them to kill me are you?!", he added, as she yelled for her two sisters.

"Piper thanks for saving me, Is everything ok"
Piper meant to answer, but her mind was racing. Then Blake spoke.
"You think I left you five years ago dont you!?...How dare I?...I was locked up in hell for the past five years, and now im starting to have to adjust to the things that have been happening to me, over the past year!"
She whirled on him, hands just itching to blast him away. But that was her tempermental side. She would never really do that. At least not now. She could hear her sisters running up the stairs frantically.
"Your not gonna ask them to kill me are you?!"
Piper arched her sculpted eyebrow.
"I dont need my sisters for that, Blake," she quipped. Speak of the Devil, the two other Halliwell sisters entered the attic and stepped around Blake, fixing her with worried stares.

"PHOEBE! PAIGE!"
Phoebe jumped, hearing her sister call from the attic. She sounded panicked, which made Phoebe panic. Just a little. But enough to make her rush up the stairs on Paige's heels. They rounded the corner and dashed up the next flight. She heard someone else speak, a man. He was standing in the doorway.
"Your not gonna ask them to kill me are you?!"
Phoebe and her younger sister squeezed past the one who was speaking. Once within the attic, she gave the boy a once over. He looked familiar, but she couldnt put a name to a face. Being a Halliwell, she had met a lot of people. Leo was there as well. She gave him a slight smile and nod in acknowledgment. She turned back to her sister.
"I dont need my sisters for that, Blake,"
Recognition dawned on the witch. Blake. As in Blake Henderson. As in Piper's friend from forever ago. As in the very first guy to ever break her older sister's heart. A tiny part of her wanted to lay him with a swift upper kick - her specialty - to the head. But her more saner part refrained. Especially since she was an Empath. And could feel what her sister was feeling. And Piper was having some pretty strong, pretty conflicted feelings right now. Her heart went out to her sister, but that was for later conversation. Piper had yelled, which meant something was up. Something bad.
"What happened?" she asked, light brown eyes flicking back to her sister.

"PHOEBE! PAIGE!"
Paige heard her eldest sister scream from the top floor of the Manor. She dashed from the living room and saw Phoebe dash out from the kitchen. She beat her to the stairs and climbed up, taking them two at a time. Phoebe was right behind her. The two sisters skidded around the corner, apparently both fearing the worse. You dont yell in this house unless something is seriously wrong.
Onward they went, up the second staircase to the attic. Half way up, she heard a male voice that didnt belong to Leo. It was that other one, Blake. The one that had snapped at her, walked out, and let her sister pissed, which didnt bode well. For anyone.
"Your not gonna ask them to kill me are you?!"
Phoebe and herself slipped past him into the roomy, humid attic. She fixed her sister with a confused stare.
"I dont need my sisters for that, Blake,"
Once Piper said his name, she saw Phoebe's face relax. She knew who he was, some distant memory playing in her mind from times Paige didnt know. Then she came back to herself. She was shooting glances between Piper and Blake, obviously picking up on someone's feelings. Paige wasnt sure who, but she could guess it was Piper. She didnt need to be an Empath to know her sister was channeling some pretty strong feelings right now.
"What happened?"
Paige's dark brown eyes slid to her older sister. The air was tense. Electricity seemed to sizzle in the middle of it all, right between them and Blake. Piper was watching him intently, not blinking. The look on her face was strange. Her body language and facial expression gave her the sense of wanting to attack Blake, blow his ass right outta here. But her eyes were soft, almost pleading, as if she wanted nothing more than to hug him to her and never let go. No doubt about it. Piper was most definitely confused about her own feelings. She knew her sister well enough to know that.
Then Paige's attention was drawn to the Book. Piper was clutching to her, as if for dear life. Why wasnt it on the podium?
"Piper...the Book..." she murmured softly. She gave Phoebe a knowing look, and once she seemed to understand, they both looked to their sister.

He turned his attention towards the book, an indention was burned into the floor beside the podium as well, "We got more than just a problem with the book", he said, kneeling down to look at the burn, "Shit....just who I exspected it would be", he muttered under his breath, then stood back up, "Its not safe here....atleast not for me", he turned towards Piper, "I have to go, the headhunters are coming for me", he turned, and began to leave, then stopped, "I dont want to leave, but its best that I do,.........I cant afford to lose another friend, not this time!", he said, his sword swirled into his hand in a burst of flames, "This time, I stand, and fight".

"This time, I stand, and fight,"
Piper watched Blake move across the room and examine the floor. He said something about headhunters, and thta he was leaving. Although, this time he didnt want to. He wasnt just saying that. She could see it in his eyes. He felt he had to, for their safety as well as his own. Piper's head and heart were playing that tug-of-war game again. This time, her heart won.
She crossed the attic and was standing in front of him within seconds. She took his free hand and held it between her own. The tingle that usually came with physical contact with him sent shivers down her spine. But she ignored them. Hey honey hues found his own, holding reassurance. "Please dont leave. This is, honestly, the safest place for you to be. It doesnt get much better than the protection of the Charmed Ones," she said. "Plesae, just...trust me. We can handle it, whatever it is. We've taken out the Source of All Evil numerous times. We've raised a house full of teenagers. We can handle this headhunter person," she went on.
"Besides, what if my life needs saving while you're gone?" she half joked. She pulled him clise. In case he left, she wanted a proper good-bye. The charge she felt earlier intensified. "I dont wanna lose you again," she whispered in a small voice.

He sighed, then took a deep breath, smirking at the way she was willing to hold onto him so well, "Sure, but just be carefull, these people have the power to possesss people, and wont hesitatee to kill the person they take over", he told her, then looked at the door, he could sense that someone else was in the house, "I think we have company".

"Sure, but just be carefull, these people have the power to possesss people, and wont hesitatee to kill the person they take over,"
Piper felt a slight shiver, as a memories of Magic School entered her mind. She had been possessed on more than one occassion. She knew exactly what he was talking about.
"I think we have company."
She pullled away from him, giving him a questioning look. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end, her senses reeling into high alert. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her sisters tense up as well. There was definitely someone in the house. Someone of the Evil variety.
"Paige, get the Book, take Blake, and get outta here. Leo, you check with the Elders about these 'headhunter' people. Find Wyatt and let him know whats up. Phoebe, you come with me to get Anna," she said. Her voice had that authoritative edge it usually did when she was taking charge.
She stepped around Blake and headed towards the attic doorway. Piper heard her sister following behind her.

He looked at Piper confused, "Im not going anywhere, they're following me, because they've been paid by a demon to murder me, so im not going anywhere, plus you know nothing about their powers", he told her, then began walking downstairs, "And dont try to force me to leave!", he called up to her, as he walked downstairs.

"And dont try to force me to leave!"
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, repressing the urge to snipe back at him. One thing similiar about the two of them was they were both completely stubborn. She opened her eyes and followed him. "Blake, we've dealt with bounty hunters before. We vanquished the Source by winging it once. You have to trust the Power of Three. You have to trust...me," she said, stopping half way down the stairs.
