Piper's Room at Blueberry Hill, Friday Afternoon
Piper was sitting on her bed, leafing through the Book of Shadows. There had to be something in there that could point her in the direction of whatever left Phoebe those horrible gifts. She wanted to find whatever did that and vanquish it. Nothing was going to get away with hurting her sister.
As she flipped through pages, one of them caught her attention. The handfasting ceremony. Of course, that lead her to think about the significance of this date, one she wished she never had to think about ever again. It was the day she was supposed to marry the love of her life, Leo. They'd found the time to get it done so that the Elders wouldn't have known. But they found out somehow and ruined everything. They heartlessly took him away from her and there was nothing she could do to get him back. She even tried going on strike, but there were too many innocents that needed her. There was no way she could have let them down.
That was the day she swore she'd never take orders from the Elders again. Two years now. Two years she hasn't seen Leo. She wondered if he was still around somewhere, watching over her. Or did the Elders wipe her from his memory? She had no idea. She knew she would have been a great wife. And what about the two sons she met years ago from an alternate universe? The thought that they weren't meant to be in this world was too much for her.
Not wanting to disturb anyone in the house, she buried her face in her hands and quietly sobbed for what could have been.
[ooc: Mostly establishing, but I won't stop anyone who has a reason to visit. Obviously, I changed canon just a wee bit. ;)]
