Alex
Of course Alex noticed as her favorite, yet least favorite blonde made her way out of the auditorium where the Christmas pageant was still going on. Her mind instantly went to earlier where Piper had come almost running to her, Alex had sent her away. But she seemed so upset…maybe she should follow after her and make sure that everything was okay? No no no! She had promised herself that she wouldn't fall back into the endless cycle of her always being there for that girl, the same girl who so easily left her in her biggest time of need.
Just after Alex had fought a battle between heart and mind in her head and decided she wouldn't be going after her this time, Alex noticed something else. She watched as the angel who stood in the nativity scene eyed the door where Piper had made her quick exit, and was fast to follow suit.
Pennsatucky too? Now there was no way this was going to end well. Looks like yet again Alex Vause will be ignoring the better judgment of her mind and going to Piper's rescue. Why was it that she found it impossible to not do everything in her power to look after Piper, while Piper in return could so easily walk away from her for what was supposed to be forever not once but twice? Alex quickly gave the auditorium a once over before making her way to the same door Piper had not long ago walked out of.
Just as Alex was coming out of the door she noticed Healy as he made his way inside. He had this look about him that just didn't sit right with Alex. Alex knowing Piper knew that Piper would have made her way out that same door to get away from everything. Seeing Healy coming inside with that look she just knew that something was up. Alex paid close attention as she watched Healy as he turned the corner and made his way down the hall. Alex knew that if something was up she would have to be careful about being seen, so she quickly looked around to make sure no one else was there.
Alex took in a sharp breath as the cold air hit her, of course she had some how managed to not have her jacket on her. Her mind was soon taken away from the fact that she was so cold, and soon focused on the scene that was before her. Fuck! Before her was Piper sitting over Doggett, her arms moving in the most animalistic way she had ever seen as her hands made contact again and again against the face of the women who lay beneath her.
Before she knew it she had both of her arms strongly around the frame of the women she had loved for so long. Piper went limp upon their contact, as she carefully held her close sitting them both down on the snow. The look on Piper's face was something she had never seen before, and Alex couldn't help but hold her even closer as her body began to shake. She moved one hand comfortingly through the blonde's hair as she continued to hold her close in her arms. She whispered comforting words in Piper's ear because she knew first she would have to calm her down.
"You're going to have to tell me what happen, so I can help you" her words being the first to break the silence that had fallen. "She…she was going to kill me, said it was time for me to die. Healy he knew that something was going to happen…but he just walked away. He wanted her to kill me!"
Before Alex knew it Piper had jumped to her feet and now stood above her. That's when she noticed something she hadn't seen before, Piper's shirt was soaked in blood which surely could not have been from the beating she had given. "Piper, you're bleeding" she quickly stood up to take a look at where the blood was coming from. She soon found herself with her hands pressed down upon Piper's stomach. As Piper looked down to see what Alex was talking about, Alex felt Piper's body go limp again but this time it was nothing but dead weight.
Alex laid Piper down slowly on the snow, before standing up and looking around. Soon enough she found the screwdriver which she knew she would have to get away from this scene, she quickly found a good place to hide it and made sure to put the cross that Pennsatucky had made back into her hand before making her way back to the door. She would find one of the guards, and tell them that she had seen Piper leaving the auditorium and Doggett following. Everyone already knew how much trouble Doggett had been giving Piper. She had decided to follow in fear of Piper's safety, and had stumbled upon this awful scene. Everyone would know that Piper had just been defending herself.
