chapter 4: the park

This chapter seemed to lighten fhe mood
"

The phone rang loudly around the manor. She could stay home today as it was inventory at P3 and Mike was taking care of it all. Jeremy was out so she was alone, and she was glad. Being alone gave her chance to cry. She dragged herself off the coach to the phone.

"Hello" she said in her the most cheerful voice she could manage

"Hi!" It was Phoebe

"Hi Phoebes"

"Hey, I was wondering if you would like to come on a day out with the rest of us?"

"The rest of us?"

"Yeah, you know, me, Cole, Holly, Lilly, Prue, Andy, Jemma, James, Jake, Paige, Kyle, Bryony.." Phoebe explained

"Right…"

"Wanna go?"

"Where is it?"

"Just going to the park, the kids really wanted to go. We were just wondering if you wanted to as well."

Piper thought about it for a second, it HAD been a while since she had seen the kids, and her sisters, but if Jeremy came home and she wasn't here…

"I don't think so Phoebes." She answered flatly

"Why not?" Phoebe asked her

"I'm just busy."

"Doing…"

"Stuff"

"Oh come on Pipe!"

"I don't know…"

!"You all want aunty piper to come right?" she heard Phoebe ask the children

"yes!" Piper heard 5 voices yell back at her, also I little gurgle from who she suspected was Bryony

"Ok, I'm in." Piper answered, she could never resist the kids.

"Cool! See you in half Pipe!" Phoebe said yelled and put down the phone.

Better go get dressed then, she thought.

Leo stood directly behind her hearing the whole conversation. This could be a chance to see how close she was to family. Give him more insight to the life of Piper Halliwell-Burns. Help him to play the time game….

Piper walked through the park gates and was greeted by 3 kids, with jet black hair running up to her.

"Aunty Piper!" they all yelled and wrapped their little arm around her legs.

"Hey kids!" she shouted back, putting on her cheerful act

"We missed you!" one yelled and Piper pulled the little girl up onto her shoulders.

"I've missed you too Jem. ALL of you!" she said and walked the way that James was tugging her left arm. Jake was following behind.

When she reached the spot where everyone was, she smiled happily. Phoebe and Cole were sat snuggled up to each other on one corner of the picnic blanket with two toddlers next to them. Paige and Kyle were knelt down in the middle, Paige was feeding Bryony and Kyle was watching. Prue and Andy were just sat there, smiling at their kids and Piper.

"Hey Pipe!" they all said together.

"Come sit down!" Jake ordered her and pulled her over to sit next to Prue and Andy.

"Muffin?" Phoebe asked thrusting on in front of her smiling.

Piper walked into her house late. She was being very careful. If on the off chance Jeremy WAS home (which is highly unlikely since it's only 7) he'd go ballistic. He'd think she'd been cheating on him all day. Just like he did to her…. Piper forced back the tears and walked slowly through into the front room.

"Where have you been?" she heard a steely voice ask, shit! He's in!

"With my sisters Jeremy." Piper said carefully

"You've been cheating on me haven't you?" he asked with serial-killer calm

"No Jez, I swear…"

"Don't lie to me you whore" Jeremy stood up to face her

"Jeremy, no…"

"You think you can do that to me?" as he walked closer Piper could smell the drink on him

"Jez…" Piper pleaded

"No, gunna show you whose boss around here." Jeremy unhooked his belt…"

lex's eyes turned pitch black
Penny's face was blood red
Prue now held a loaded shotgun.
Prim's hands sparked
Julia had ice claws sticking out her fingers.

Leo couldn't watch anymore. The more he did, the more he wanted to rip Jeremy's throat out. Which was wrong. He knew it. But it didn't stop him wanting to do it. He hated him for hurting her. He wanted to storm in to the manor and pull him off her. But he didn't. He would wait. Play the time game. Then he would kill her. Leo smiled and orbed out, in black orbs."
Where did he go?
Yeah
