The Witch and The Original

Chapter 9

             I'm back in my hotel room, laying in bed after a long hot shower, feeling ashamed. I should never have let things get this far with Klaus. There could never be a future with him. I could have a sexual relationship only with him, but when the conversation got too serious, I freaked out. I guess the timing wasn't right. I grab my pillow, putting it over my face to scream my frustrations into it. I fall asleep quickly, only to end up in an unknown room.

"Oh Jesus, alright, come out, Klaus. I swear I'm going to kill that man. I spun in circles, looking for him, waiting for him to pop out, but no one was there. Okay, this is weird, I thought, not knowing what to do, seeing as this isn't a dream.

"Hello?" I yell. My voice was a little shaky. The room was a deep red. All there was, was two black chairs opposite each other and a coffee table dead center, with no windows. I don't know why I didn't notice before, but that was all in the room. I start to panic. 'Shit,' I thought. Just then, the chairs and table disappeared, and a figure appeared, and my eyes widened.

"Piper Halliwell, it's so lovely to finally meet you," the figure said, his deep voice was demonic.

"Belthazor, I assume," anger rising inside me.

"You would assume correctly. I've heard you've been looking for me," he says calmly.

"Are you kidding me? I've been looking for your ass for centuries, and you just now contacted me," I say, annoyed, and walking closer to him, I cross my arms over my chest, waiting for an answer.

"I've known, I've known the whole time, since the day I killed your sisters, I knew you would look for me. You're welcome by the way."

"You're welcome? you're welcome? what do I have to thank you for, you murdered my sisters, the only family I had left, why would you ever think I would be grateful?" I can feel my eyes fill with tears.

"Because I helped you become a very powerful witch, more powerful then The Power of Three."

"WHY?" I shout.

"Because I knew you could be useful to me one day." He steps towards me.

"And what makes you think I would help you in any way?" I couldn't believe him, the nerve of him.

"Because I have an offer I know you can't refuse," he says so confidently in himself that he has something I want.

"And what could you possibly have to offer me that would make me help you?" I cross my arms, thinking he is crazy, but I humor him and wait patiently for him to answer.

"What if I told you I could bring your sisters back?" my eyes widen, not sure if I heard him right.

"That's not possible. I couldn't bring them back. What makes you think you can?" I ask, unconvinced that what he was saying was true, but what if it was? What if he could bring them back? No, that's not possible. I won't get sucked into his lies.

"I have my ways Piper, so do we have a deal?" he reached out his hand for me to shake, but I wasn't doing anything without more information.

"Hold it. I still need to know how and what you need me for," I say, watching his big clammy hand fall to his side, irritation all over his face. He took a deep breath before he spoke.

"The spacifics on how are not important."

"It is for me," I interrupt him "it's important for me because I'm not doing anything for you till I know how" I add, feeling the heat of my anger rising, he waves his hands over each other, and a glowing ball of white light appears.

This is how," he holds out his hand to me. I reach out and take it from him. I examine the orb. It doesn't look like anything important "What is it?" I'm confused about the whole thing.
