Oh " god please let us be on time.
LEO ……….LEO …..where are you?
"its no use Piper" we can call him but he wont be able to help her. If we are not on time. "What do you mean phoebe is she going to di……………
NO ,no that is not what I ment piper" god no.
What I ment was even if he gets there he cant help cause prue wasn't hurt by evil.
"Not evil you have to be kidding me" piper says
You know what I mean piper!! Not supernatural.
Piper is trying to keep her eyes on the road.
Driving as fast as she can.
"Piper watch out!!!!!!
"What phoebe"?
"I know that you want to get there as fast as you can but we have to get there alive.
"I m sorry " piper says.
"Okay piper pull over and let me drive.
"No I m fine."
"NO your not get to the side of the road now piper". Phoebe screams as she sees that a car is heading straight for them.
Piper pulls over to the side of the road. And lets phoebe get behind the wheel.
"Just step on it phoebe please". Piper is now crying.
Shortly there after the girls pull up to Brents appertment building.
Both of them jump out of the car and run in to the building. Straight to brents appartment
They can see that the door is ajar, and both of them stop dead in their tracks.
"I m scared phoebe " piper whispers to her sister.
"Me too pippi bbut we have to in.
They walk in to brents appartment holding hands.
PRUE……….PRUE ………are you in here.
No answer!
BRENT ………..PRUE …….. nothing.
Phoebe walks in the kitchen "nothing here" she yells to piper.
Piper checks the bathroom "nothing in there either.
"Nothing here" phoebe yells from the balcony.
Just then piper reaches the bedroom.
"PHOEBE ………o god …..PHOEBE …….get in here hurry.
No sooner had piper screamed the words and phoebe was there.
The sight that phoebe saw made her sick to her stomach.
"O my god prue " piper hears phoebe sob. Call 911 hurry phoebe hurry.
"LEO ……… LEO , shit where are you I need you" piper says
Phoebe runs out of the room to find a phone.
Piper pulls a blood covered prue on her lap.
"prue honey wake-up please " Its me piper.
Prue is not responding.
"Sweetie please open your eyes and look at me" piper cries.
"Come on I know you can do it.
She keeps stroking prue's face and hair.
"Please prue talk to me please " she begs as tears fall on to prue's head
She looks down to see that prue has opened one eye.
She can't open the other one because it had already started to swell.
"Hey hi there sweetie " "phoebe called an ambulance and they will be here soon".
"I m sorry piper " prue manages to say.
"What for this is not your fault.
"It hurts piper it really hurts I can't breath please piper make it stop hurting so much".
Piper is trying to stay calm for her sister but slowly in side she is about to lose it.
"I know honey" I know, but your gonna be okay I promise.
As she keeps rocking prue back and forth.
"Phoebe ……Phoebe" piper screams.
Phoebe walks in "they are on their way "she says as she walks over to both her sisters.
"Hey prue I m here too.
"Hi pheebs " prue tries to smile.
But it looks like something out of a horror movie.
"We have to get her out of here now".
"Phoebe go downstairs and wave the ambulance down".
Phoebe runs out of the room falling over the ruble from the struggle . tears streaming down her face.
"Leo Leo we need you please " piper cries.
As she looks at prue who is once again unconseus
Just then a blue light appears announcing that leo was there.
"O god Leo "piper cries.
"You have to help her " Leo runs over to prue.
"My god piper what happened ".
"Brent is what happened "piper screams at him.
"I told you he was hurting her."
"You have to heal her Leo please help her."
Leo puts his hands over prue but nothing happened .
"Why is it not working Leo" piper sobs.
"I m sorry sweetie I don't know" Leo says.
"Get up there and them to let you now". Piper shouts at him with a force Leo had never heard from her before.
He gives prue a kiss and tells her he will be back soon.
Just then phoebe walks in with the paramedics .
"Mem your gonna have to move we cant work on her this way". the guy says
Piper carefully lays prue back down on the floor but makes sure that she doesn't move to far away.
Phoebe walks over to pipers side "was that leo that was in here"
"Yes "piper answers.
"Then why is she not healed"
"because they wont let him" Piper says with hate in her voice.
"I sent him up there to talk to them.
The paramedics put prue on to the gurney. And head for the door.
Piper tosses her keys to phoebe "Take the car phoebe I m going with prue".
"I will see you at the hospital "as she walks over and gives her little sister a hug and a kiss.
Then she follows prue out the door.
Phoebe cant move for the next few minutes she can't believe what has happened here not to prue of the people she knew she was sure something like this could not happen to prue she would never stand for it .
She pulls her self out of it and follows the ambulance to the hospital.
When they get to the hospital piper runs behind the gurney in to the e.r.
"Mem you have to stay out here as soon as we know what is wrong with your sister we will let you know okay".
"Please give me one minute with her".prue had woken –up again.
"Hey sweetie I m right here outside I wont leave I promise.
She finds a place on prue head that is not bruised and kisses her "I love you prue".
"I m sorry piper "prue says again.
"It's okay prue your gonna be fine.
They roll prue into the E.R. and a nurse walks over to piper.
"Mem you need to fill out some forms.
"This way please" she follows the nurse into a small room.
She gets a stack of papers that she needs to fill out.
But when she picks up the pen she is shaking so badly that she can't write a letter down.
"Mem can I help you with that"
"Please" piper replies.
"Name"? Prudence Halliwell.
"Age"? 31 next month
"Any allergies"? No.
"Does she have in surance" ? Yes we do.
"You are"? Piper Halliwel Wyatt. Her sister.
Tears are streaming down her face, I cant believe I have to this right now! She thinks
What is going on with prue? How bad is she hurt? Please God don't let her die!
"mem since we have to most importened part maybe we can finish this later" the nurse says who can see that piper is not going to be much help right now.
"That would be great thank you " piper manages to say.
She walks out of the room right in to phoebe.
"Where is prue" phoebe wants to know. Piper puts an arm around her little sister, poor phoebe never knew how to deal with stuff like this.
"They are working on her right now. But as soon as they know what is wrong with her they will let us know.
Piper and phoebe sit down in the waiting area.
"Piper"? phoebe's small voice comes from the side of her.
"What honey"?
"Do you think she is going to be okay"?
"Yes I m sure that she will".
"Uhmm do you think he has r………….?
"he what Phoebe"? but she has an idea as to what she was going to say.
"Do you think that he raped her." Phoebe almost whispers.
Oh god I hope he didn't. Piper prays.
Just then the doctor walked out of the e.r.
Mrs wyatt ????
At first piper did not react.
Mrs Piper wyatt.
"What "piper says realizing that they are calling her name.
Mrs wyatt? Yes please call me piper. How is prue?
"Piper I m doctor Hastings" I m the one who treated your sister.
"How is she"? Phoebe now jumped in.
"she is doing okay for now she is getting settled in to her room".
"She has a lot of abbrasions on her face ,arms,and upper body.
"The thing we are most concerned about is her right eye".
"It got punctured by a ring we guess we cant be sure till the swelling goes down".
Piper gasps for a breath of air.
"She has three broken ribs and one of them punctured her lung'.
Phoebe has to hold on to piper in order to steady her self .
"Her arms was broken in four places and we set that it will be okay in a few weeks".
"do you have any idea who did this to her"?
"Yes we do and we will call the police as soon as we can".
"We already did we are required to do so in such a brutal beating.
"An detective is on his way he told me to tell you that Darryl will be here soon.
"Give us ten more minutes and then you can go and see her.
Doctor one more question?
"Yes piper"!
"Did she ………………Did she get raped?
"No mem, she was not we did a rape kit on her there seemed no evidence that would indicate that she was.
Both piper and phoebe let out a sigh of relief at least prue didn't have to deal with this they both thought at the same time.
"If you have anymore questions you can always have me paged.
Piper ……..Phoebe! Darryl walks up to tem in a quik pase.
"Where is prue ? What happened to her? Who did this to her? How is she?"
"Hi there Darryl "piper says with no emotion to her voice at all.
"prue is being transported to her room"
"She has been beaten to a pulp"
"Brent the son of a *itch did this to her".
"And how do you think she is Darryl , she is in the damn HOSPITAL".
Piper says her voice getting louder and louder with each answered question.
Phoebe puts her hand on pipers arm .
"Calm down" piper she says softly. It is not his fault.
"Calm down phoebe!!" My sister is in there, unconsious from the pain and you want me to calm down."
Get away from me.
Phoebe looks at piper in shock.
"Piper what is wrong with you"?
"Nothing is wrong with me "she spits back to phoebe.
"If you guys would have listened to me this morning none of this would have happened.
"what happened this morning" darryl wants to know.
Phoebe watches as piper starts pacing the hallway." I guess I m gonna have to tell you.
So she tells darryl what had happened that morning and everything since then.
"Phoebe do you know what he looks like"?
"About six feet, brown hair, brown eyes, and usally dressed very nicely.
"Do you know where he works, hangs out, ? nope I m sorry Darryl I only saw him a few times I know noting about him only that prue fell for him hard".
"Okay I m going to check on this I will be back later to check on prue .
Phoebe walks over to piper.
"Piper"? "What" phoebe piper sighed!
"I think we need to have a talk"
"We have nothing to talk about".
"I think we do piper".phoebe says softly to pipers back.
"No we don't" starting to guilty phoebe"?
Phoebe has to take a step back "What" phoebe says in horror.
"Yeah feel better now has she given you enough proof now. Piper says her voice dripping sarcism.
"What the hell are you talking about "
"This morning phoebe this morning".
OH just let her go she has to find out for her self well she found out for herself didn't she
are you satisfied now phoebe.
"Stop it piper "phoebe cries.
"Yeah now you can cry now that it is to late you make me sick leave me alone"
Now she can cry where those tears this morning, I was the only one trying to keep prue from going out both phoebe and leo had given up way to easily. Well I hope they are happy now.
Mrs wyatt?
Yes.
"You can go and see your sister now.
She will be sleeping and I want to warn you she doesn't look that good .
But it really looks worse then it is.
Maybe after you have seen her you guys should go home for a little rest.
Prudence is going to be asleep for most of the night"
"Her name is prue" and thank you for telling us.
Piper forces a smile on her face wich looks pretty good considering the way she felt.
She looks at phoebe and then she turns around and follows the nurse down the hall.
Phoebe follows behind in silence.
Piper had never talked to her that way before and it had shocked her to core of her being.
How could she think I would want this for prue .
As they get to prue's room phoebe reaches for pipers hand .
But piper just pulls away from her.
Tears come to phoebe's eyes not just for prue but also for piper for what had happened today had changed piper in a way phoebe thought possible.
When they walk in to the room they both give a gasp.
It seemed as if prue's bruises had multiplied since the last time they had seen her.
Bandages al over her pretty face and it looked that her face had swollen to twice the size it usally was.
One arm was in a cast and the other arm laid lifeless to the left of her body.
A tube was coming out of her chest somewhere but piper couldn't make out where it was coming from.
They could hear the heart machine bleeping and oxcytion was given to her by mask.
Piper went to right of prue and phoebe to the left.
Piper takes prue's hand and pulls a chair closer to the bed.
"Hi sweetie it is me I told you I wasn't going to leave I m right here.
"Me too". phoebe says.
Softly piper kisses her sisters hand if this can happen to prue it can happen to anyone she keeps thinking.
Just at that moment there is a knock on the door and Leo walks in.
"How is she doing"? He asked as he walks over next to piper."
"Not so good thanks to you and them". Piper sneers at him.
"Piper that is not fair you know that I tried but they wouldn't let me".
He lays a hand on her shoulder but she just shrugs it of.
Leo looks at phoebe who looks at him with tears in her eyes.
Leo gives a nod towards the door.
Phoebe nods and they both walk out the door.
Piper does not even notice that they leave.
When they get in to the hallway phoebe falls in to leo's arms.
Sobbing her heart out "shhhhhhhhh leo consoles her .
"She is gong to be fine" he says as he strokes her hair and her back.
"Its not just prue leo something has snapped in piper you should have heard her leo.
"The things she said" she blames me and by the way she just acted you too.
"She is just very upset right now phoebe".
"Once prue gets better so will our piper" trust me.
"She is just scared right now she loves you guys so much she does not know what do when something like this happens".
"No Leo this is different it is almost as if she has a totally different personality"
"Just look in her eyes they are not the same there is so much hate in them and the piper we know is not like that".
"What are we going to do leo" phoebe starts to cry again.
"Don't worry phoebe she will find her way back to us ".
Then the both of them walk back in the room.
"Phoebe can you go home and get some of prue's things that she might want or need"
leo asks.
Sure phoebe replies.
She walks over to the bed and gives prue a kiss "I have to go home for a little while but ill be back late and I will bring dottie with me okay". Refering to an old bear that prue has had since she was a baby it wasn't much more then a rag right now but loved any less prue had put it on her shelf at home no longer needed but never forgotten.
'Piper can I bring something back from the house for you"? No answer not even a look .
Phoebe bents over one more time to give prue another kiss I love you she says.
"Sure she does" phoebe hears piper say under her breath.
But chooses to ignore it.
And walks out of the door.
As soon as she leaves leo turns to piper .
"Piper " honey we need to talk!
"What is there to talk about leo.
"You and phoebe did not want to help this morning and see what happened".
"Piper you know I have to go up there when they call"."
"DON'T …………. Don't even talk to me about them because as of right now there is no more power of three no more charmed once".
"We have been working for THEM for three years we have done everything they wanted from us".
"We gave them our loved once we where even willing to die for them". "Oh we have to do it for the greater good well my ass the greater good where are they when we need them huh" "first there was mom then there was grams then we had to lose andy"
All for the greater good we did what they wanted from us".
"But no that wasn't enough they made me and you go through hell why? Just for the fun of it".
"But we did and we let them" and we have never asked for anything in return.
"Well no more leo I have had it". I asked them for one little favor ONE.
"And they couldn't do it well what ever they ask me I m done no more.
"Piper your upset right now but think about what you are saying.
"I know what I m saying leo I know.
"Leo I was the one holding my sister my big strong sister."
"Crying in my arms covered in her own blood telling me to make it stop hurting.
"And she couldn't breath and he eye was getting bigger and o god her arm it was laying there so weird I knew an arm couldn't bend that way but I kept looking at it.".
"She was in pain leo real physical pain and they would not let you help her."
"Give me one good reason to help them leo one to ever help them again".
"Piper says with venom coming out of every word and tears coming down just as fast.
"But honey it is not their fault or phoebe's ".
Brent is the one who did this to her.
"Well I hope I will never see that man because If I do I swear to god ill kill him with my bare hands"
Kill who a soft voice comes from the bed.
This time piper didn't smile at prue timing.
"Hey there honey how are you feeling"?
"Piper?
"Yeah it is me sweetie" piper answers.
"I m sorry piper" prue says as tears come down her face and are obsorbed by the bandages.
"Don't be sorry you will be okay I promise".
"Its not that piper I m sorry I yelled at you today and that I ran out without saying goodbye".
"All is forgotten prue " as she gives her sister a watery kiss.
"Prue sweetie we need to know did Brent do this to you?
But when she looks down she sees that prue has fallen back asleep.
"Piper" lets go and get something to eat . And have a little talk.
Leo suggested.
"I m done talking Leo".
"I m not leaving her side".
"You can go I don't need you here" Piper says in a cold tone.
Leo walks to the door.
"O yes you do need me piper even if you don't want to know it right now.
He whispers as he closes the door behind him.
