Authors note: I would just like to point out that even though I said this story will have elements of my own life in and I am writing as a release this particular part has nothing to do with my own life and is in fact about a friends who I will not the name of for privacy. I am adding this for her as she asked me to and also as it brings another element to the story. My friend is reading but not reviewing so please treat the topic carefully as my friend still has some problems with it.
Thanks for the reviews guys I'm glad you are all enjoying the story especially you charmedcrazy14 you really seem to be getting into it as for the cant eat line, well you'll have to wait and see.
Angelic Ami I agree she does need to tell someone about what's going on with David being so controlling doesn't she. However Paige did see it herself so maybe she will get the help she needs? Wait and see.

Chapter ten These Deepening Cuts.
It was pitch black as the rain heavily thumped down on the window outside. Any normal person would not be able to see anything in entering the basement in darkness like this but not Billie. No she could see her surroundings. Probably because she had been locked down there so long crying huddled in the corner.
She felt so alone and scared, she knew he would be back down again and that frightened her. She wanted so much to be able to break the window and escape again. But where would she go, he would just find her and bring her back like when she ended up at Paige's. Even if he wouldn't she still couldn't escape, as he had made sure that he had taken anything she could use to break the thick double glazing class window out of the room.
Maybe I could break it by running at it; she thought standing and walking over to the window. However when she got there she noticed that black metal bars were all around it on the outer side of the house. Seeing this her heart sank even further into her pit of depression. She was trapped with no way out.
She wanted so desperately to call Paige but knew somehow that this room was magically protected as she had tried so many times before until her uncle had told her that magic cannot get in or out, it can only be used in this room. Part of her wanted to blast him into a wall, but she knew she couldn't, she knew his threat of binding her powers was real since she saw him making the potion after finding it in the sisters book of shadows that time they had been invited over for dinner.
Damn it he's got my phone to, she screamed in her mind wishing so badly she could call for help or just hear the sound of her friend's voices.
Suddenly a sense of fear shot up her spin making her hairs stand on edge as she heard the door unbolt and steps coming closer as someone walked down the stairs into the basement.
Shit he's back, she thought to herself in fear as she quickly moved back into her corner and tried to hide herself while sitting in the fettle position almost as though she is protecting herself.
"I've told you before you are not getting out of here until I say so. Keep on disobeying me and it will be a very long time before you see your friends again!" Billie heard a male angry voice say sounding as though it was coming from just above her. She couldn't look up, as she knew it was her uncle. She didn't know why she was so afraid of him. It was that same fear she had as a child the one she didn't quite understand.
David growing increasingly angry by the fact his niece looked as though she was ignoring him, grabbed her arm and forced her up on to her feet shoving her face first into the wall.
Somebody please help me!, she thought to herself as she could feel her t-shirt being lifted and could hear her uncle David unbuckling his belt behind her.
She just stood there frozen in fear unable to more partly because of the fear of waiting for the first blow to hit and partly because David was holding her against the wall not letting her move.
Then he struck her hard on the back. The first blow landed cutting through two already crimson red lines on her back making the two of them plus the new one forming, bleed over each other.
She cried out in pain as the initial shock of the blow had passed, if it wasn't for her uncle holding her up her legs would have given way and she would have fallen to the floor. Suddenly she felt David's hand move away as he began to strike her over and over again turning her skin into a patchwork sheet with red and white lines crossed over each all over on her pale skin.
He hadn't even noticed that she had fallen to the floor crying in pain as he carried on beating and beating her shouting insults at her telling her she was worthless and deserved it.
She couldn't take it any more she felt as though she was on fire with the amount of pain she was in; she wanted to badly for it to stop for her to just die on the spot.
Suddenly her emotions and pain got the better of her, and without realising, she telekinetically blasted her uncle into the wall on the over side of the basement.
It was a while before Billie realised that he had stopped beating her, as she lay on the floor crying in pain because of her stinging body that was bleeding badly now. She looked up and saw her uncle lay unconscious on the floor over the other side of the basement and looked scared.
Oh shit! He's going to bind my power then kill me for sure now, she thought to herself panicking. I have to get out of her; she continued to think to herself now becoming hysterical with worry and fear.
Slowly she rose to her feet, almost falling back down again in pain, but she used the wall to steady herself before she ran up the basement stairs and out of the house into the wet streets. The rain was pouring down on her making her skin sting even more as the rain soaked through her ripped clothes into the large cuts all over her body.
She knew where she wanted to go. She knew she would not be safe until she was with someone she trusted, someone older who could help her. However the problem was that the nearest person she knew that would be able to help her lived on the other side of town, so with as much strength as she could find she thought against the burning pain and ran as fast as she could in fear of her uncle awakening and coming to find her.
She was running so frantically down the streets that she did not notice the car coming around the corner as she ran across the road. Suddenly she heard the cars horn making her freeze still in the road in shock, as it speed towards her at 20mph. Even though it was not that fast it seemed to fast for Billie to be able to move away from.
The car hit her making her land on top of the bonnet then slid down onto the floor in front of it as the driver slammed the breaks on hard. Billie lay on the ground dazed for a while before trying to sit up.
Suddenly she felt arms around her supporting her and helping her sit up. It must be the driver, she thought to herself as she felt someone pulling her into a warm hug gently from behind. Tight enough so she could feel it, but not too tight to make her cry in pain from the open cuts on her back.
"Billie? Oh god, are you okay? Billie heard a familiar voice say to her. "Piper?" Billie said weakly in a confused voice. The car hadn't hit her very hard but her head still hurt like hell with the mixed emotions, pain and tiredness she could hardly keep her eyes open.
"At least you know who I am." Piper said relieved. "Billie don't fall asleep on me." Piper said slapping the young girls checks lightly waking her up after noticing she had almost fallen asleep on her.
Even though she was in so much pain and was tired she felt safe with Piper because she knew that even though they had had their differences in the past they were now okay with each other. She knew Piper would not let anyone hurt her and this made her feel safe.
Piper on the other hand was now becoming increasingly worried about her. She needs to go to a hospital, she thought to herself lifting herself and Billie up off the floor and leading her towards the passenger's seat of the car.
"Let's get you to the hospital." Piper said as she helped Billie sit down in the car seat. As Billie did so the cold hard leather of the chair was pushed hard against her back making her cry out in pain.
"Careful. Take it easy." Piper said as she fastened Billie's seat belt. After giving Billie's arm a reassuring yet gentle squeeze Piper closed the door and made her way over to the drivers side.
Once Piper had gotten in the car she quickly fastened her seat belt and turned on the ignition of the car. Turning the car around she went back the way she came heading towards the hospital while keeping one eye on the road and the other on Billie making sure she was not falling asleep.
