Fallen

By Iana

Pairing: Alex/Piper

Rating: NC-17

Summary: "Piper blacked out quickly, maybe as a Divine Providence. It didn't stop the abuse, though. The ground beneath her was stained red with her blood, her golden skin marked with cuts and bruises. Her beautiful face was distorted, both eyes blackened and swollen shut and that gave her predators and even bigger rush. Let's see what she'd do when she wasn't so pretty anymore."

Piper broke up with Larry before Christmas Party but Alex brushed her off. What happens when Doggett decides to expel the "lesbian demon" of our blonde once for all? Will Alex forgive herself? Last episode of season 2, written with a whole different perspective.

Author's note: Just cause I wanted Piper to be less of a damn coward and grab what she really wanted instead of going for the safer option. And also because I wanted Doggett to make her hurt.

Any typos, grammar mistakes or errors in the plot, please let me know.

Truly hope you enjoy this.

Chapter 1

"Well, you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it's starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go…"

"I'm sorry, Larry. I can't marry you."

He had cried and she had felt like a terrible person. But the truth of the matter was that Piper was done running. She was done hurting and she was done trying to avoid the unavoidable. She loved Alex Vause and that was that. It was time that they had a damn break. She was tired of all that lesbian soap-opera drama. Alex and her were good together. They just had to stop sabotaging each other.

She walked towards Alex's cube with a new focus and a mission. It was hard breaking someone else's heart but the truth was: she was relieved. When she got there, though, Alex and Nicky were sitting close together on the narrow bed and Piper's stomach dropped as a voice whispered an impossible theory in her ear. She shook her head to dispel it, telling herself it was crazy and looked at Alex.

"Alex."

But suddenly everything went so, very wrong…

"Are you kidding me? Get out!"

"Alex…"

"Get out. No fucking way. Get out."

And her eyes were hateful and harsh. And Nicky was smirking and Piper's heart was somewhere on the ground between the three of them, contorting like a fish out of water, trying to draw oxygen.

"You heard the lady." Nicky's voice was like sandpaper. Like nails on a chalkboard. Like a death sentence. Piper's eyes filled and she swallowed the thousand words she wanted to say.

Turning on her heels she left, feeling so numb she couldn't feel her legs or the tips of her fingers or the tears that now streamed like rain down her cheeks, hot and flushed form sheer, downright humiliation.

Everyone was in some sort of Christmas celebration but Piper just couldn't. She had nothing to celebrate. She had just gotten the biggest piece of charcoal in the whole wide world. She beelined for the door, no coat and raised her head to the sky when she got outside. Her feet crunched the snow as she ran. Away from the building, away from Alex's hard eyes, from Nicky's smirk, away from her bleeding heart. She dropped somewhere between the race track and the shed and sat there, on the snow with her knees hugged close to her chest. The weather was so bitchy that everyone was inside, among Christmas preparations and that was just mighty fine. She couldn't form words or even gather the energy to lift her head now, let alone talk to someone.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?"

Piper's spine froze and she raised her eyes to stare into Doggett's. The craziness in them was scary enough. Added to that, the fact that she was holding the makeshift blade and surrounded by Leanne and Angie, made Piper downright terrified.
