P3's Printed Perils part 4:Supposed to die?!
A late rising Phoebe opened her package and dumped the book Let's Go Play at the Adams on the counter. As she reached for it Leo orbed in. "Phoebe don't" Leo shouts as Phoebe touches the book, "Touch" and disappears "that book." Leo groans and says, "Oh great how do I get them back now?"
"Mmmph?" Phoebe's question to Leo was muffled by cloth in her mouth and tape over it! 'What the heck is going on? Some demon or warlock spell?' Phoebe thought as she found herself in another tight spot! She was bound at the wrists, elbows, knees and ankles and her wrist ropes had another rope attached to them and pulled towards the ceiling of the basement she was in. This caused her to lean forward on the balls of her feet. 'Ow! These ropes are not just tied to keep me prisoner like Morpheus and the other warlocks do, they seem to be tied to hurt me, and this position definitely is!' Just then 5 people 3 boys and 2 girls aged 10-17 entered and a 15 year old girl came up and slapped Phoebe in the face! This caused Phoebe's power to give her a flashback of what had gone on in the book so far. A shocking tale of a prank gone wrong. The two younger children had chloroformed (the father was a doctor) and bound their babysitter while their parents were away for a week. Unfortunately for the poor babysitter Dr Adams had hired, the kids friends Paul & Dianne McViegh(who just struck Phoebe) and John Randall were all monsters in human form just waiting for a helpless victim. The poor babysitter had been terrorized with a knife,(by Paul) raped, (by John) and now was being tortured at Dianne's direction after a failed escape attempt. Thankfully the little monsters were lowering Phoebe's arms from the tortuous position but Phoebe realized, 'They only have a couple of days before the parents get home, and they need to cover up their crimes! And would a demon have sent me here if I wasn't supposed to die?!'
P3's Printed Perils part 5:Prue, & the KGB
Prue's head throbbed as she fought to regain consciousness. She felt pressure and tightness at her wrists, forearms and upper arms. Also at her ankles which as her vision started to clear she discovered had been taped to the chair legs, just as her arms had been to the chair arms. 'He hit me, what?' Her thoughts were interrupted as her assailant spoke, "A shame to have to eliminate someone with your assets." 'What does he mean? Oh!' Prue realized his meaning when he continued to tape her to the chair, securing her torso just under her breasts.
"MMMPH!" Prue indignantly objected only to discover she had been gagged as well! Her head finally cleared at this indignity and she focused on her captor to throw him ito the wall, but he hardly moved!
Thinking he had stumbled the man announced, "Yes you were right the nerve gas was stolen by the KGB of which I am a member"
KGB? Nerve gas? Crap I'm in a spy novel! Blasted demons! It seems my power is much weaker here as well. I am in big trouble!' Prue worriedly thought.
"I would love to stay and assess your assets my dear, but duty calls." He continued, "I must go set the one hour timer on the nerve gas so I can be well away from here when the World Cup is wiped out and with it American influence in Europe! Afterall since we stole the gas from the USA who will the world blame?!" Burning with rage Prue exerted everything she had and "OWWW!" only succeeded in smashing the KGB agents fingers in the door on his way out. 'Just great,' Prue thought, 'I am going to get gassed and die in this story and all I did in return was break a fictional bad guys thumb!'
P3's Printed Perils part 6:'Fall Dan! But not on me!'
Piper awoke to find herself,'Bound, gagged and with Dan?' As her head cleared she saw she was lying on a bed shoved against the wall of a basement room. Dan noticing her wake up said "I am going to untie you Piper but don't try to escape or say the L word. Everytime I hear the L word is an hour you will spend gagged!" As Dan began releasing her Piper realized, 'Dan doesn't realize that anything strange is going on. Without any powers he is caught between the characters obsession and his own suspicions and desires. He is very dangerous to me this way I have to escape while I have a chance.'
After untying her Dan pulled Piper to him. Piper tried a diversionary tactic, shouting, "LEO, LEO, LEO, LEO!" and while Dan was shocked by her defiance kneed him in the groin!! 'Fall Dan!' She thought, and he did but not how she wanted! 'But not on me!' Being too close to the bed, when Dan fell forward onto Piper she was pinned beneath his weight. Struggle as she could Piper couldn't get Dan off before he recovered, quite angry!
Her wrists and ankles retied and gagged as before Piper fumed, 'Back where I started! I won't get such a chance again for a long time!' But Dan wasn't through. "I didn't realize how dangerous these were before!" He said as he tied Piper's knees together. Continuing he began tying more ropes to hold Piper's arms tightly to her body at her ribcage. Piper tried to object but Dan was showing her no sympathy! "Now the gag for 4 hours for 4 L words, but there is still the punishment for your escape attempt! Your choice of this(taking off his belt) or one more of these,(holds up one more rope)" Piper seeing the madness in his eyes realizes, 'I think Dan has crossed that thin line between love and hate! That rope will make escape even harder but in his state of mind Dan might beat me to death! Surely Prue, Phoebe and Leo are trying to find me I just have to stay alive!' Piper nods to the rope.
Dan having placed Piper face down on the bed then tied the last rope to the ankle bonds and then attached it to her wrist ropes securing it so close her fingertips could almost touch her heels. "Sleep tight Piper!" Dan mocked her and left Piper to struggle in silence. Piper thought to herself, 'When I get out of this, no remember it's not his fault! Just keep telling myself that and the part about not punishing the guilty!'
