A/N: Thanks for your reviews! ( I am aware that this is probably kinda
confusing. I meant to say that the other Piper thing is a past life. I've
labeled the parts Past and Present so it's not too confusing. I'm sure you
could probably have figured that out for yourselves but I felt the need to
explain. lol. Tell me what you think. I actually think I know where I'm
headed with this one. Isn't that exciting? Now, I just need to figure out
how I'm gonna write it. Hmmmm...Anyway, R,R and enjoy!
No One Can Hear You Scream: Chapter 2
~ ~ ~ Present
"I can't feel her anymore." Piper looked at her husband, slightly worried and relieved. For the past couple of days Piper had been able to feel her past life's pain off and on. "What does this mean?" "It could be anything, Piper. She may have been saved or - " Leo paused trying to pick out the best words. "She could be dead." Piper was speechless and didn't know how she could have let this happen. "She's not dead, Leo. She can't be."
~ ~ ~ Past
Piper awoke from her sleep, suddenly aware of her nakedness. She pulled the frosted blanket over her abused body. It should have been her wedding day. She should have been getting ready right now to marry the man she truly loved. Piper closed her eyes and imagined what it would have been like. She heard Pachelbell's Canon playing in the background and she could see Leo's mischievous green eyes twinkling with delight. Piper sighed before opening her eyes again. She realized none of that would ever happen unless a great miracle took place. She wished Leo would find her. She watched a bird hop by her twittering gaily. She wished she were that bird.she wished she were anything but herself.
~ ~ ~ Present
"Leo, I don't think she's completely gone. I can still feel something. I don't really know how to describe it." Piper sighed and cast her gaze towards her fingernails. Leo placed his arm around her shoulders and pulled her in for a hug. "Leo? What would happen to me if she dies?" His forehead creased as he turned to look at her. "I'm not really sure. It might feel for awhile like a part of you is missing, because technically it would be."
~ ~ ~
"Piper, please let me go check with the elders. You're sisters are here so they'll be able to take care of you. I'll only be gone for a couple of minutes." Piper finally resented with an 'okay' and Leo disappeared in a myriad of white lights. Piper sighed as she watched him go, hoping he would return with answers.
~ ~ ~
"You did that to her Leo." "What do you mean I did that to her? That's ridiculous. I would never do that." "But you're past life would." Leo muttered obscenities as he was involuntarily orbed to the manor. "Did they know anything?" Leo hung his head and didn't reply for a moment, causing Piper to worry. "Leo what is it?" Leo shrugged. "They didn't know anything." Piper studied his face wondering what was wrong but she shrugged it off knowing Leo would tell her when he wanted to.
~ ~ ~
A knot formed in the back of his throat. 'How could I do that to her? I love her so much.' Leo recognized a soft ring in his head and he strained to hear what the elders were saying. 'You were evil, Leonard.' Leo felt a small drop of saline trickle down the side of his cheek when he realized the amount of pain he had caused. Piper sat next to him on the bed placing her hand softly on his shoulder. He turned his tear-stained face to look at her. Piper gently wiped away his tears with her thumb. "What's wrong sweetie?" "I...I was just thinking how a person could be so evil to do this to you." Piper pulled him close and whispered in his ear. "We'll vanquish whoever did this to me, don't worry." "But that's why I am worrying." "What?" "Nevermind. It's not important."
~ ~ ~
Outside a figure lurked by their window, trying to find the best position to carry out her evil doings. She sighed sending a jolt of electricity to the couple, still unaware of the dangers surrounding the situation. She sent a shrill laugh echoing through the bitter night air.
~ ~ ~
"Did you get them?" A voice boomed from behind her. "Yes, of course. They are so naïve. The poor little whitelighter was crying in her arms. Oh, and can you believe the witch and her sisters don't even know what he is hiding!" The man now stood directly behind her, caressing her shoulders and neck with his palms. Kissing the side of her neck, he said, "You did good work, Amelie. You should be rewarded." She grinned lustfully back at him. "This should be fun..."

"Hey Leo! What's up?" Phoebe's cheerful voice greeted him. Leo grunted a reply of 'Good Morning' and sat down to eat his breakfast. "What's wrong?" Leo glanced up at Phoebe's worried face. After several minutes he returned his gaze to the table. "Oh, um, nothing," he lied. "Oh, come on, Leo. I've known you for almost four years and I know when something is bothering you so are you going to tell me or will I have to pry?" "I'm serious Phoebe. There's nothing wrong." Leo couldn't look her in the face, knowing he would cave in. "I guess I'll just have to pry." "Who's prying?" Piper asked as she walked in, groggily joining the two at the table. "Oh. It was just a joke. Um..I...I wanted to know who kept eating my granola!" Piper glared at the two of them, before venturing to another topic silently noting to ask Leo later.
~ ~ ~ Past
She shivered in the cold air, rubbing her hands up and down her bare arms to keep warm. She walked slowly and methodically toward the end of the road, never altering her gaze. She watched as the sun sank slowly below the horizon, covering the world in a blanket of dark. She stumbled but remained at a steady pace. She had to get out of there and back to Leo. Leo. That was the only thought that kept her going. Piper dragged herself a long the dirt path, covered in just a blanket.
~ ~ ~
She found herself the next morning in a drab room. The only decorations were the few pictures hanging delicately on the walls. A small lamp in the corner near a rocking chair lit the room. Piper felt around her. A pillow, blanket, sheets. She sank into the pillow, relishing it's feeling. Her pillows had usually been the occasional rock left outside the barn. She pulled up the sheets and snuggled deeper into the pillow and bed. She turned, wincing slightly when she landed on her bruised hip, to the direction of the light. She noticed the back of a man rocking slowly in the chair. "Leo?" The man got up and turned towards her. "No, it's not Leo. I'm afraid you won't be seeing him for awhile." "What? What happened to Leo? Who are you?" "Don't you recognize me, Piper?" She studied the man's face before her expression turned to shock. "Dan?"
TBC... I know I keep adding random people/things into my story. lol...I love to make things harder on myself. Anyone confused? Don't hesitate to say so...I'm almost confused and I wrote it. Course, that's me. ;)
