She liked the way he dressed - either like this or in his robes. It was fitting and downright attractive. "Kind of - the house did it but it's roughly half my magic," she admitted with a smile. "Before we go, I should explain. I mean, you may kind of already know through Hecate and by simply being you but, I want to tell you." Piper paused. "Come with me," she said before making way toward the kitchen. She really didn't need a drink but she wanted something to do with her hands.
"Several years ago... my best friend/cousin Jordan and I found out we were part of some kind of prophecy. We were set to be the biggest force of good this generation has seen and on our twenty-first birthdays, we were to become immortal. After we found out on our eighteenth birthday, we realized we were simply getting stronger." She poured herself something to drink and raised an eyebrow to see if he wanted anything. "We fell in love with two vampires." A small smile formed on her mouth as she thought about those early days. It was becoming easier to talk about without wanting to shut down or cry so at least that was progress.
"We had just graduated college and I had already turned twenty-one. We had moved into this house that the two vampires had bought around a hundred-two hundred years ago. My running thought is we had so much magic that it sort of seeped into the house and it took on a life of its own - the yard flourished and the house is particularly stubborn and protective."
Piper paused knowing she was rambling but she had to get it out before she couldn't. "Before she turned twenty-one and before we could take up the mantle of being The Enchanted, a group of demons, vampires, witches, and others got together to destroy us. They killed her and my boyfriend at the time. Right afterward, her boyfriend and I sought out to kill every single one of them involved. And we eventually did."
She exhaled. "Sorry, I know it's a lot and I told you that there were likely 'Wanted' signs out for my death down there. That would be partially why. Because it was no secret that I was after them. They didn't know Adonis was necessarily involved but they knew I was."
