A/N: Yay! Reviews make me happy! I love you guys! :D Here ends the parts I've already written (actually some of this I just wrote) so the updates will be a little less frequent.I'll try to write as fast as possible, but life is extremely stressful....don't you just love life? Lol I make no sense. ;)

A/N2: Not quite sure why this merits the title "A/N2" but anyway, I'm still having issues with italics, bold, etc...anyone want to help me? Pretty, please with sugar and lots of cherries on top?

No One Can Hear You Scream: Chapter 4

Past

She stared up at the familiar face with a look of shock and disgust.

"Dan." She uttered the name again; not really believing it was him. How could it be? Where was Leo?

"Why won't I be seeing Leo again?" Dan's lips curled in a smug smile before answering. "My dear, don't you know by now? Surely they told you. Leo just used you for the sex. He sent you off to be raped when he was through with you."

"How can you say that? Leo loves me! You're just as evil as the rest of them."

She tried to leave, but just sitting up in bed sent a wave of pain through her body. "I'm afraid you're stuck here." Piper sighed and sank back in the bed. 'I guess it's better than the barn,' she thought.

Present

"Leo they keep telling me you did it!"

"Who keeps telling you?" Leo averted his gaze to Piper.

"The dreams. This time I was in a room and Dan..." she trailed off.

"Dan?"

"Yeah. He was telling me how you used me and now wanted to be done with me." Leo looked at his hands pushing back the tears, venturing closely to the surface of his eyes. He hated his past self for ever hurting Piper like that and he hated himself for not being able to tell her. An awkward silence prevailed and Piper was growing impatient.

"Leo, speak to me," she demanded softly.

"No. I can't." Leo finished and looked at her as if he had explained himself completely.

"What are you talking about?" Leo looked away from Piper's confused glance.

"I can't tell you," he said, before orbing out, leaving Piper even more confused. Piper watched the myriad of blue lights swell and finally disappear completely. Even after Leo was long gone, she sat in a state of confusion, not sure whether pursuing the topic further or letting Leo tell her on his own accord was better.

Past.

Dan watched as she slept wondering why he had ever let her go. 'How could I have been so stupid?' he thought. She stirred in her sleep calling out Leo's name. Dan drew in a sharp breath after hearing that name. He hated that man and cursed his name every day. He watched as Piper continued calling helplessly for her lost love before waking her up with his agonizing shout.

"He's not coming back, damn it! Why can't you accept that? He's evil, Piper. Evil!"

Piper looked at Dan with fear illuminated in her eyes. "I can't just give up on him and believe what you say completely." Dan sighed, his face full of remorse.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell like that. Go back to sleep." Dan waved his hand dismissively, turning around to face the only window in his small apartment.

Piper let a tear slip down her cheek before turning on her side to fall back into a fitful slumber. Dan eventually turned around once Piper had fallen asleep. He stared at her hair, spread out in tangled bunches unevenly over the pillow. It was still beautiful, though it was caked in dry blood. He remembered touching its silky texture long, long ago. Before Leo had come along. Before he had stolen her away from him with his charm and charisma. Dan scoffed when he remembered what Leo had told Piper about him. How he was a good-for-nothing pauper. How Leo could show Piper a real life unlike Dan. 'Look who's better now Leo!' Dan couldn't help thinking. Dan chuckled before casting a sideways glance towards Piper and drifting off to sleep himself. Everything was going to be fine. He would get her to trust him and they would defeat Leo, together.

Present

"How is everything going, darling?" his voiced boomed in the dark cave.

"Absolutely marvelous! The whitelighter...what's his name, Leo? He's completely convinced that he hurt his true love." She sighed mockingly. "Anyway, I was thinking we could use our magic on Leo and get him to admit what his past life did."

"Get him to admit? Not what I had in mind."

Amelie approached him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Well, then, what did you have in mind?"

"I'll go back to her."

Amelie gasped and abruptly stepped away from him, letting her arms fall to her side.

"You'll what?"

"You heard what I said."

"Yes, I heard. But I don't understand. I."

"You think I would leave you for...for that witch?"

"It wouldn't be the first time," Amelie whispered under her breath, knowing he would hear her anyway.

"Amelie, I'm sorry. I won't do it. I just think it would be easier. It would make her more vulnerable. You know I love you."

Amelie's eyes twinkled with mischief. "You're right it would be easier to kill her that way."

"I love the way you think. I love you, Amelie."

"I love you too, Dan."



TBC..Surprised? Probably not. Lol I love writing twists.even though that was most likely untwistful (don't you like my new words?). I was just writing the end of this chapter and didn't know where to end so I was like..I know! I'll have Dan be the evil mastermind. This story could still go anywhere.As of one hour ago I didn't know I was going to make Dan evil. Sorry that was a short chapter.I'll try to make it longer next time.

Now you all see the sexy purple button? Yes it is sexy..(I'm so random). Now click it (That sounded dirty lol) and tell me what you think! :D
