Piper's Peril Packed Honeymoon pt6
The first day in Paris had gone perfectly for Piper and Leo. And the second was going well too. They had just had a nice dinner at a small cafe on the outskirts of Paris. Piper had wanted to arrive like a normal couple so they were walking back to a rented car. They didn't know they were being watched!
In a black van a man said "That's them let's go!"
Piper at Phoebe's suggestion had borrowed her black leather miniskirt for the honeymoon. With her red blouse and red strap on high heels the outfit devastated Leo. He never saw the van coming!
WHAM!! The van slammed into Leo tearing his hand from Piper's and sending him flying down the street! "LEO!" Piper screamed and rushed after and as it stopped past the van!
Crying she knelt by Leo and turned him over. He was quite unconscious! 'If he wasn't a Whitelighter he might have been killed!' Piper thought and continued 'Those idiots! OH!' "MMMMMPH!" Suddenly Piper cried out as a damp sickly sweet smelling cloth was clamped over her mouth and nose! Strong hands grabbed and held her arms as well! Just before she went under she thought, 'Chloroformmmmm...'

Leo laid unconscious on the ground in a small village just outside Paris. The few villagers who had been around for Piper's abduction scurried away in fear. No one helped the fallen man.
Sometime later Piper awoke. She found herself in a small windowless room with a slovenly and somewhat strange looking cultist watching her half heartedly. "Mmph?" Piper moaned and examined her bonds thinking, 'Hands tied in front and tape over my mouth? Hey I can get free!' She then reached up and pulled the single strip of tape off of her mouth. The cultist sat and said, "You can't do that!"
Lifting an eyebrow Piper said "Because??"
He stammered in reply "The women on television never do that!"
Snickering Piper replied, "Well unlike them I have a brain! Oh and this too!" (FREEZE) Piper smirked at the now statuesque cultist and attacked the knots on her wrist ropes with her teeth!
Elsewhere, the cults leader Jacque Amon learned, "You had who secure the prisoner? He has never done that before." His subordinate a slightly odd looking man reassured him, "How much trouble can one little woman cause, She will be paralyzed with fear!"
Tossing the rope on the floor Piper proceeded to topple the still frozen guard from his chair and picked it up and held it overhead. She said, "Just about" the cultist moved and WHAM! "Now!" Piper finished as she broke the chair over his back! Opening the door with a smile Piper began attempting to find her way out and to freedom!
"You did what??" Amon growled, and his minion replied nervously, "I told him that she would only require some light binding, fear will do the rest, ACK!" "You fool! You should treat every prisoner as if they have the will and means to escape!" Amon said as he throttled his minion! Tossing him aside he went to check on Piper himself.
Piper met some cultists (FREEZE) Wham! (FREEZE) Wham! Striding down the hallway she thought, 'The old freeze and kick them in the balls routine works every time!'
Rushing to Piper's room Jacque Amon found her gone and her jailer unconscious. Fortunately a trail of moaning cultists told him where to look for Piper.
Piper made it to and opened the front door and "EEEEK!!" fell backwards as a trio of King cobras denied her exit! The cobras rose to strike and ...

Piper froze the cobras just inches from her tender flesh! Piper slid away from the snakes and got to her feet, just as someone grabbed her from behind!
Leo finally woke up and staggered to the rental car. He thought 'I can feel where Piper is but there is some magical evil there as well! Maybe one of Natalie's(Leo's now dead colleague from the episode "Blinded by the Whitelighter") charges can help me.' As he drove off he continued,'Anyway the drive there will give me time to continue recovering.'
"Mmph!" Piper complained and thought, 'I am not a study aid!' The reason for Piper's complaints were the following. She was on a stage in a large room with the cult's leader. His followers were watching, except for the two dead ones! Piper's guard and Jacque Amon's former assistant were both hanging from hooks on the wall! Examples had been made! To Piper's chagrin Amon was using her to instruct his minions in the proper securing of sacrificial victims! The fiend had already tied Piper's wrists behind her back, her ankles and above and below her knees. He had also taken great relish in stuffing her mouth with cloth and tying it there with a white scarf and still he continued!
A man answered his door and Leo said, "I am a friend of Natalie's and I need to talk to you." The man ushered Leo into his home.
"MMMPH!!" Piper objected yet again but her captor only laughed and continued his lecture, "As you see after binding the victims elbows as closely as they will go together, escape is nearly impossible!" Feeling the ropes on her elbows Piper glanced over her shoulder and thought, 'What do you mean nearly? An escape artist I am not!' The villian continued, "To make her escape impossible you must secure her arms to her body. This is best done by tying ropes above and below her breasts, like so!" As he completed her binding Piper leveled a hate filled glare at him but he just smirked!
Natalie's charge rejected Leo's plea, "My power is too weak to help you. I must ask you to leave, my family is through with magic!" His hopes dashed Leo went back to the car and headed out alone or so he thought! In the dark he didn't notice someone was now in the back of the car crouching down to avoid discovery!
Jacque Amon stroked Piper's long dark hair and said, "Now that you are properly secured my dear, we can discuss the manner of your death!"
Piper's Peril Packed Honeymoon pt9
Jacque Amon informed Piper, "My cult wishes to bring the great serpent god Set back to Earth. Your death will help our unholy cause bring death and destruction to all humanity!" "Mmph?" Piper yelped and thought, 'I just hope he is crazy! If what he says is true more than just my life is at stake! My death and my magic might hasten his plans more than he thinks!'
Leo arrived on a hill overlooking the cults compound. As he headed cautiously forward he heard a car door shut behind him! Whirling around he confronted...
Piper was being carried over Jacque Amon's shoulder like a sack of potatoes and wondered, 'Serpent god cult? These people look funny except for the leader, I wonder if?' Raising her head she saw one of the cultists lick his lips, with a forked tongue! "MMMMMPH!!" Piper's scream echoed throughout the building!
A scrawny 14 year old boy with a bad leg faced Leo. "I'm Rene, I overheard your talk with father and I came to help you!"
Kneeling by the boy Leo put his hand on his shoulder and said, "That is very brave of you Rene, but I can't let you risk your life! Stay here!"
Leo then turned and walked away as Rene said, "But I have a really neat power! I can help!"
Piper was carried downstairs to an large underground chamber. Jacque put her in the middle of the room and as he checked her bonds he said, "When that gate opens(points to a 10' tall metal gate in the wall about 20' away) the avatar of Set will grace you with an audience!" "MMMPH!!" Piper didn't like that idea at all and began struggling furiously!
Three king cobras tried to bar Leo's path but he threw a ball of intense light at them! Their eyes having been dilated by the darkness the snakes were blinded and Leo got past them. However he didn't realize he had ...
"Set off the alarm on the front door master!" A flunky told Amon who replied, "Well don't just stand there go kill him!" His new adjutant queried the villain on how he knew it was a he and Amon replied, "A family tradition! For millennia Amon's have been working the black arts and serving Set and always some cursed hero type shows up to meddle in our affairs! We just want to gain ultimate power! If that is at the expense of destroying the human race, well is that so much to ask?"
Leo saw the cultists now in their true serpentine forms charging him and quickly lost count of their numbers as he thought, 'If only this building's magic didn't keep me from orbing directly to Piper! I could really use some help about now!'
Hobbling to the door Rene saw this and thought, 'Just a kid huh! I'll show him!' The boy took a paperback book out of his pocket and began shouting! Leo as he was tackled by the wave of serpent men heard Rene shout, "DRUSS, DRUSS, DRUSS!" Strangeenergies began to crackle about the boy and ...
The gate slid open and through it came a king cobra except for the fact that, "MMMPH!!" Piper yelped and began pushing herself back across the floor with her heels as she thought 'Cobras don't get that big! No normal snake gets that big!' As the enormous snake slid slowly into the room it opened jaws wide enough to swallow Piper whole! Piper scooted away as fast she could in her many bonds but the snake got closer and closer...
Piper's Peril Packed Honeymoon pt10
The giant cobra slowly approached and Piper frantically slid away as it it came ever closer...
Meanwhile before Leo's eyes Rene grew! As energy crackled between him and his book the boy's muscles swelled to herculean proportions and he became over 7' tall! The boy was gone, now there stood a black bearded grizzled warrior in blacker leather armor and hold an enormous two headed battle axe! Striding forward he said, "Time to die!" And charged screaming "SNAGA!"
Bump! Piper propelled herself into the wall! As the cobra closed in she thought, 'No more room to go! Leo help!' "MMMMMMMMMMPH!!" Piper's scream resounded throughout the compound!
Leo was just thinking, 'The ability to change yourself into a character from a book! That is a good power though it is limited to the actual power of the witch involved, Rene seems to have plenty!' Then he heard Piper's scream! Seeing Rene wreak havoc with his battle axe Leo shouted, "I am going after Piper!" Rene nodded and kept on hacking!
Jacque Amon watched the carnage in horror! He didn't even notice Leo dash past him as he thought, 'Another musclebound hero? My family is cursed!' His nerve failing him the villain decided, 'Time to flee!' Unfortunately his serpentmen took note of Jacque's cowardice and routed! His heart hammering Jacque didn't notice heavy footsteps running after him!
With nowhere to go, helpless in her bonds Piper saw the giant cobra prepare to devour her and let a out a final muffled cry for help, "MMMMMMMMMPH!!"
WHAM! Her cry was answered as Leo tackled the giant snake! Landing just behind it's head his weight slammed it into the ground! Then as Piper watched in dismay the snake began attempting to shake Leo off! 'If only my hands weren't tied behind my back I could freeze that monster!' Piper thought and then realized, 'That won't matter if the snake is behind me!' Then as Leo rode the bucking snake Piper began to turn over onto her stomach.
Jacque Amon felt a tapping on his shoulder as he was unlocking his secret exit. Turning in anger he began, "Not" WHAM! A massive fist ended that conversation and Rene slung the koed villian over his shoulder.
Leo was thrown from the cobra's back and hit the wall! The angry cobra turned towards him and froze! Turning Leo saw Piper still bound and gagged but cleverly she had turned around and kneeling had frozen the monster now behind her! Rushingover Leo scooped her up and said , "Brilliant thinking Piper! You are as smart as you are lovely!" Piper blushed as Leo carried her up the stairs but she then saw, 'The snake unfroze early!' "MMMMMMPH!!"
Warned by this Leo turned and saw the snake with it's huge maw open! Just then he heard a familiar voice from behind him say, "Duck!" Leo did and a body flew over his head and into the monsters mouth!
The creature swallowed Jacque Amon in a single gulp! Now fed it went slithering away to digest it's meal!
Leo relaxed for a second and then realized, "Having a monster of this god swallow his pet sorcerer could cause a power feedback! We had better get out of here!"
KABLOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! A massive explosion destroyed the compound and all evidence of the dark goings on there! Winded Leo set Piper down on the hill and removed her gag. They began kissing passionately.
Earlier in San Francisco Phoebe had touched some of Piper's dirty clothes and had a premonition of this. Now she told Prue, "I had a vision of Piper & Leo kissing."
"So?" Prue replied. "Piper was all tied up!" Phoebe continued.
Prue smirked "Ooh! And Piper said she would never do anything kinky! I am never going to let her live this down!"
