Part 2

Cole and Piper shimmered to their bedroom still holding each other passionately. He continued kissing her neck, her head leaned backward to welcome his fondness. Cole started to ran his hand on her breast, suddenly she pushed him away.

"The curtain is fallen!" – shouted Piper – "There's no audience here. I don't know a man at your age as sound as you."

She's thinking of his unfaithfulness with Phoebe this afternoon right before they came to their anniversary. And now he wanted to make love to her, Piper assumed it's just his pure lust, he had cheated on her, not just with Phoebe, not the first time. Their guests were still enjoying the party at P3, they're mouthing about her happy marriage, ironically, that's what she hoped them think of her.

"So you're playing?" – snorted Cole.

"What esle do you want from me? Happy and Satisfied?" – asked Piper angrily – "My life is like hell since you stepped over the porch."

He walked to grab on her shoulders:

"Tell me that isn't what you're thinking." – required him violently and pleadingly – "That isn't what you're really thinking."

Piper stared at him, he was an infamous demon, but her sisters were powerful enough to vanquish him as well as he had had a lot of chances to kill her family, but they'd suffered each other a full year. Since the life wasn't that simple.

"What I'm thinking doesn't affect the fact that I'm your damn wife." – murmured her, she looked at her wedding photo hanging on the wall and flung a hand to crack the glass of the frame – "My personal happiness is cursed."

She walked out of her room not bothering to shut the door. Cole came to the frame and flicked his fingers to repair it. He dragged his hand on her image tenderly, Piper looked stunning in the wedding dress, but her beautiful face was lack of a happy smile. He felt his heart sink in pain finding out she didn't love him one again. Unfortunately, he loved her, but she never believed, it actually sounded ridiculous. Everyone wanted their marriage to go well, but nobody expected The Mighty Belthazor fell for The Charmed One someday.

Cole caressed her juicy lips and it turned out a gentle smile. He looked at her image sadly then closed his eyes.

. . .Flashback. . .

Leo orbed in Piper's room. She left her bed and stood up.

"What're you doing here?"

"I miss you." – said him.

"Leo!"

"I know." – he stopped her – "But I couldn't help thinking bout you and missing you."

He held her and she lost herself in his embrace.

"That isn't what we're supposed to do. I've got married." – whispered Piper.

"But we don't want it. You don't want it. It happened against our will."

She separated from him.

"Maybe I don't love Cole, but you're going to marry Prue, I don't want to make a sin to my sister."

"I haven't yet." – said Leo – "Piper, I hate everything parting us." – he looked intensely at her – "Whatever turns out, I still and always love you."

Her eyes shed tears, she loved him, she thought she'd never love anyone as much as she loved him. But she'd torn his heart apart on her wedding day.

"I love you too." – said her in a quiver voice.

It's what Leo's waiting for, he kissed her and Piper had no strength to refuse her love.

Suddenly the door's open, the couple looked up to see Cole. His face was red in anger. He sent an energy ball to Leo breaking him into orb dust. He reformed a moment later.

"It isn't her fault, and you should forget it, Belthazor!" – said Leo.

"Get out of here!" – growled Cole.

"Go! I can handle it." – whispered Piper.

"No." – resisted Leo. She touched his hand and squeezed it gently.

Leo nodded, he thought she could freeze Cole or blow him up, but the important thing was they had an agreement to keep between them, it meant their marriage was not breaking up. He orbed out.

"What did you do that for?" – asked Piper.

"Good question. Am I supposed to ignore it? You're betraying me right in our bedroom. Damn it!"

"Now you're playing the aggrieved husband? It doesn't suit you, pal." – said her.

"You don't understand!" – he shook his head disappointedly – "This is not the way it's meant to be here."

"Look, the reason I accept you're here to make sure the remainders of my family will be safe, and you know it. Don't perform this play again, I hate your game."

. . .End of flashback. . .

Piper were standing motionless at the doorstep, she had been furious walking out but the moment later she decided to return her own room. If someone had to leave tonight, it wouldn't be her, so she intended to cast Cole out. When she came back, she happened to see him touching her image and embellish a smile on her face. Piper couldn't say it's lust, it's not that she didn't know he had feeling with her. He'd started to commit adultery after catching her and Leo kissing each other in this room. If she really thought Cole didn't love her at all during the year, she didn't have a soft spot in her heart for him now. But this love was forbidden, they were not meant to be, she shouldn't forget she's a witch while he's a demon.

Leo was in Prue's room as she's having a shower. He found a family album in her drawer and took a look. The first pages included their childhood photos, one of them their mother had taken with her whitelighter – Sam - and her youngest daughter. Leo's surprised that they had four sisters in total, he vaguely guessed Sam was the youngest's father. But there's a rule against whitelighters to love their charges, maybe it didn't exist in this alternate reality. The next pages showed four sisters in their older age, many photos with Gram, Patty and Victor as if they had always been around. Leo paid much attention to Piper, his love. She looked so lovely as a child, and very beautiful when she had been grown up. He even found out some in her engagement to him with the attendance of the whole he reached her wedding photos with Cole and his ones with Prue after that. The weird thing was Gram, Patty and her youngest sister hadn't been there anymore. They didn't show up tonight either, something bad must've occurred to them.

The Elders said Piper married to Cole was an arrangement, it could help to destroy The Source. Leo wasn't able to imagine of it, Piper called her husband a bastard behind his back but looked so happy with him in front of their guests, he knew she wasn't happy. He remembered the world he had lived yesterday, it's better than now, and it's where he really belonged in.

"I want to be back." – thought him.

"Leo!" – Prue walked toward him wearing just a towel.

He became embarrassed looking at her, he heard a ring in time.

"They're calling me." – said him.

"OK, I should've prepared for it." – disappointed Prue, she kissed lightly on his lips – "Be back soon!"

Leo's dumbfounded, she was pretty as much as the Prue he knew, but she seemed sweeter and more gentle.

Leo orbed in front of The Elder's Council.

"Report us!"

"I didn't see anything important." – answered Leo.

"Do they believe Piper and Belthazor is a good match?"

"Yes."

"Any suspicion about our plan?"

"No."

"Have you warned Piper and Phoebe about their sentiments?"

"I haven't had a chance."

"We notice The Source has assigned a new mission to Belthazor. Let Phoebe try to get a premonition about it."

"How will she do that?" – confused Leo.

"You really forget?"

"I actually don't know." – admited him.

"He's honest." – said a female Elder.

"I was not drunk. I don't belong to this reality, that's why I have no idea what's going on." – said Leo.

The council exchanged their look one another, finally the Elder in the middle said:

"Well, we have a spell that can bring you home if here's really not your world. Then we'll settle our problem."

Leo felt elated. He nodded while smiling brightly.

The Elders chanted their spell, a vortex scrolled Leo up.

The next thing he realized was someone put a hand on his forehead. He opened his eyes seeing Piper.

"Are you ok?" – smiled her.

Leo found himself in the attic again and the digital watch showed 5 pm.

"How is. . . last night?" – asked him unsurely. If she talked about Dan, everything turned normal again, if she talked about Cole, his nightmare wasn't over yet.

"We just had dinner. That's all." – said Piper.

He grinned, she's speaking to Dan, he's home, there's no Cole in her life.

"Phoebe cast a spell to help me find the man I really love." – continued her.

"So?"

"It didn't work to me." – answered her – "But I don't need it to know my heart."

Leo smiled, he understood what she meant.

"I love you." – smiled Piper.

He held her and they kissed each other ardently.

The kiss seemed a little strange, Leo opened his eyes finding he's kissing Prue. He stopped and parted away of a sudden.

Prue gazed at him in astonishment.

"I'm sorry." – murmured him.

Why did he come back there, why could he not escape this nightmare?

"You're so odd these days." – said Prue.

"I'll explain later." – Leo orbed out.

"We've discovered what's happened. This world is really where you belong in, Wyatt."

"No. My memory isn't fit it."

"That's right. A witch came back to change her past. She wanted to resurrect her family, the side effect was the demons who killed her family were resurrected as well."

"The magic world has changed absolutely after that. What you've seen is what's going on with the existance of these witches and demons who are supposed to be dead. The change influenced all of beings on this world, erasing old memories and filling with new memories." – continued another Elder.

"Why do I remember everything?" – asked Leo.

"You didn't rank in any kind at that time. You're not a whitelighter since your wings had been cut, but you're not human either, you'd been dead long ago."

"What's the plan to reverse the world?"

"No way. The time has lasted 4 years. Your old memory wake up too late. If you had found out in the first place, we could've done something. But you yourself have had some knowledge that you've done a lot of things through 4 years. We've gone too far to draw back now."

Leo felt everything collapse in front of his eyes, it meant the world had been altered 4 years ago without anyone's awareness including himself. His old memory had just run back yesterday to replace his current one with all of the events during last 4 years. It meant Piper's really married to Belthazor, and he was tied to Prue now.

"I don't remember a bit." – mumbled him.

"We'll fill you in on."
