Hi, sorry I'm so late updating, With being back at school and lots and lots
of nasty homework that I needed to vanquish, I haven't had much time, but
here's the nest chapter and there's a little more action in it, oh and
might turn out to be a little bit more of a Phoebe orientated chapter. Also
thanks to all you nice people who review my story and extra thanks to
everyone who reviewed every chapter. It means a lot to me :)
**************************************************************************** *********
Piper was lying in bed, her eyes half closed. Phoebe had made a worried comment on how pale she was earlier, and had made Piper go up to bed. Phoebe knocked on the door, Piper was startled and she looked up.
"Sorry did I wake you?" She asked
Piper shook her head, " No I was awake"
"I brought you some food" Phoebe said, motioning the tray she was holding.
Piper felt her stomach lurch. "Oh Phoebe I'm sorry, I'm really not hungry"
Phoebe raised her eyebrows as she walked toward the bed. She set down the tray on the bed, and shot a worried glance at Piper.
"Piper you have to eat", Phoebe said
Piper said nothing and looked down at her hands. Phoebe moved the tray further down the bed and climbed on the bed next to Piper. She lifted Pipers chin and saw the sadness in her eyes. They didn't have their usual sparkle.
"Talk to me" She spoke gently and directly to Piper
"I'm fine Phoebe, please just leave me alone!" She snapped, pulling herself away from Phoebe. Then she saw the hurt look on her little sisters' face. " I'm sorry Phoebe, I know you were just trying to help, I'm just a little.tired."
"Piper, I know you and I know you're not just tired, you're hurting, emotionally as well as physically. If you don't wanna talk to me then talk to Prue, but sweetie you can talk to me, about anything" she said earnestly to Piper," you know that"
Piper closed her eyes and sighed. "I'm just really scared", she said truthfully to Phoebe
Phoebe moved closer to her sister. " Oh honey, he has no way of finding you, he can't hurt you here"
"It's not that, I'm scared about what he could have passed on to me, he could have infected me with something. I could be pregnant Phoebe" Piper said, trying to keep her voice from wobbling, " I'm terrified"
"Ok" Phoebe said, hugging her sister, " The only way we can make sure he didn't infect you with anything is for you to have tests done"
Piper looked down once and again and shook her head firmly, "No", were the only words she wanted to say
Phoebe, who was a scared as Piper was, had to convince her to have tests done. She's right to be scared, she thought. That bastard could have infected her with anything, HIV, Clamidiya, anything.
"Piper, we can go to the hospital, you can get tested and they have to keep it confidential, that's the law. And I'll come with you, you don't have to go alone" Phoebe reasoned
"But what if they guess what happened Phoebe, I couldn't handle the police, not now, not ever"
Phoebe thought about it momentarily. " The fact is they probably will guess what happened, and they'll want you to go to the police, but I promise you, I won't let them make you do anything you don't want to ok"
Piper nodded. She needed to find out, because there was a nagging pain in the pit of her stomach, which told her something wasn't right. "Can we wait for Prue?" Piper asked
"Of course, you need love and support right now and you need it from both of your sisters"
"Phoebe, thank you"
"For what?"
"For making me see sense" Piper said
Phoebe squeezed her hand. "Sweetie, if I were in your shoes, you'd have done it for me"
But I actually was in her shoes, and more than once, except I didn't have my sisters to support me, I didn't have their love, she thought. Tears were forming in her eyes.
"Phoebe are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm gonna go call Prue, tell her what we talked about ok"
Piper nodded and Phoebe got off the bed and left the room. Piper tried to ignore the nagging pain in her stomach. Suddenly she heard a smash.
"Phoebe" she called out, " Phoebe what did you break?"
Phoebe didn't answer she just screamed. There was another smash.
"Piper!" Phoebe yelled
Piper yanked the covers off of the bed. She knocked over the tray but didn't think twice about the mess it had caused.
"Phoebe I'm coming"
She got to the top of the stairs and suddenly Phoebe and a man came into view. Phoebe was desperately trying to run away from him, tears were steaming down her cheeks, her breath in short, sharp sobs.
"Bitch!" he yelled as Phoebe managed to him kick him. He held his jaw.
Piper recognized his voice straight away; it was him, her attacker.
Suddenly he threw an energy ball at Phoebe
"What!" Piper yelled a bit too loudly, as Phoebe was sent screaming, flying into a wall.
The man started to walk towards Piper. She was willing herself to freeze him, but her hands wouldn't move. She was paralyzed by fear. There was a look of sinister glee in his eyes.
"That's it don't move and I won't have to hurt you" he said in the exact same way he had done two nights before.
Piper looked at Phoebe, unconscious on the floor, it was one thing hurting her, but coming and hurting her sister, her little sister. suddenly her hands flew up.
"Not this time" she said as she froze him, the menacing expression on his face still like in a picture
She ran down the stairs, dodging him and the broken shards of glass on the floor and knelt down by Phoebe. She held her sisters hand. "Phoebe, you have to wake up, please Phoebe" she said, gently shaking her sister. Piper noticed that blood was pouring out of a gash on Phoebe's head. She reached over and pulled the tablecloth off of a small table and held it to Phoebe's head to try and stop the bleeding.
"Please wake up now" Piper said, tears were now streaming down her face, "Honey please, I don't know how long the freeze is gonna hold" She shook Phoebe again
Suddenly he appeared the other side of Phoebe, "Not long enough" he laughed and he held Phoebe's hand
"Don't you touch her, you've hurt her enough already, please leave her alone" Piper desperately pleaded, "take me, do whatever you want to me, just don't hurt her anymore, please"
He slapped Piper hard across the face, "I don't think so witch, you've served your purpose, I want you sister, and your other sister too" he smiled evilly
Piper's hands shot up to freeze him but he was too quick for her and shimmered out, with Phoebe. Piper stared at the space where her sister had been laying.
"No!" she cried out, "Bring..her.back..now" she said through desperate sobs, "take me...instead. please" Sobbing hysterically on the floor, she reached for the phone. Her hands shook violently as she dialed Prue's office number.
"This is Prue Halliwell's office how can I help you" Prue's secretary, said in a monotonous voice
"Can I speak.to.Prue please?" Piper said frantically, trying to swallow tears
"I'm afraid she's in a meeting right now, can I take a message?" the secretary said, obviously ignoring Piper's desperate tone of voice
"It's an emergency damn it I'm her sister and I need to speak to her now!" Piper yelled, angrily, "Please" she added
The secretary sighed and rolled her eyes," Ok if you'll just hold on for one minute, I'll go and get her" The secretary knocked on the door of the meeting room. Ten pairs of eyes looked up at her as she walked up to Prue.
"Prue, I've got your sister on the phone, she sounds kind of hysterical" she whispered
Prue got up and ignored the looks of her bosses as she left the room. Prue picked up the phone, while her secretary hovered in the background, trying to listen to the conversation.
"Hello" Prue said
"Prue, i-it's me, P-Piper" Piper cried down the phone
"Piper what is it, what's the matter?"
"He found me, warlock.got Phoebe.Phoebes gone.he took her" Piper said very quickly
"Sweetie slow down" Prue said, starting to feel extremely worried
"It's all my fault, he got her Phoebe's gone"
Prue immediately caught on to who 'he' was. "Ok Piper, stay where you are, don't move and keep the phone by you ok, I'll be home as fast as I can get there"
"Prue, please hurry" Piper said desperately
"It's ok, I'm coming honey" Prue said as she put the phone down. She quickly gathered up her things and headed for the door
"Problem?" Her secretary asked
"Yeah, but nothing for you to worry about. Can you please cancel all my appointments for this afternoon, and tell them I won't be coming back in today" Prue said, motioning the meeting room
"But what about your 4 '0'clock? Mr. Townsend is a really important client"
"My family are also really important, so you'll have to tell him that he needs to make another appointment"
"Well I hope everything's ok"
"Thanks Anna" Prue replied as she left
**************************************************************************** ************
Phoebe tried to open her eyes; she was sitting on a hard, cold, damp floor. She forced her eyes open, her head was spinning and she felt dizzy and she had to close her eyes again to stop herself from passing out. She felt something warm trickle down her face. She touched her head but sharply pulled her hand away again. The shooting pain in her head felt like someone was banging it against a wall, and her whole body ached. She tried to push herself up, but physically couldn't.
"Don't even try it bitch" he said, as he stepped out from the shadows. He gave her an evil smile, "So are you going to stay still for me like your sister did, or do I have to do it the hard way?"
Phoebe forced herself to look him straight in the eye. It unnerved them. She had done it back in New York. Sometimes it even stopped them from doing it. They didn't like it when a 'weak' woman would challenge their so-called authority.
"Don't you ever say anything about Piper, you have no right" she said angrily
"Oh you're a feisty little thing aren't you? Your sister was easy, I see you're gonna be a little harder" He gave a malicious laugh as he approached Phoebe. She maintained eye contact with him. She could tell that it was putting him off, but not nearly as much as it had put off Tom.
"Why aren't you using your powers?" she asked, hoping to stall him
"Cos it's much more fun this way" he replied, with a sinister smile
"You don't scare me" she said firmly
He snapped, and ran over to Phoebe and grabbed her face. "You're very pretty aren't you Phoebe?" he pulled out a knife and lightly traced her cheek with it, "We wouldn't want to spoil that now would we?" he said as he punched her hard in the stomach. Phoebe's face contorted in pain, and she curled up tightly, struggling to catch her breath.
"Are you scared of me yet?" he sniggered
**************************************************************************** **************
Prue pulled into the driveway of the manor. She had driven home as fast as she could have without getting caught speeding. She got out of the car and ran up the steps to the front door. She was imaging all sorts of scenarios. What if he'd come back for Piper and she wasn't there? What if he'd killed them? Her hands were shaking as she closed the front door behind her. She could hear Piper's sobs coming from the living room. She dumped her stuff and ran to Piper. She was taken aback by the mess. Glass shattered, furniture broken, plaster coming off the dented wall, and in the middle of it all was piper, clutching the bloody tablecloth.
"Oh god are you hurt?" Prue asked, seeing the bloodstained material
Piper shook her head, " Phoebe is"
Prue hugged her sister, "You have to tell me what happened ok"
"I was upstairs and I heard Phoebe screaming and I came down and."
"Piper slow down" Prue soothed, rubbing her back gently
"And he was there, chasing Phoebe, I knew it was him because I recognized his voice. Then he threw an energy ball at Phoebe"
Prue was startled, "What! An energy ball, he's a warlock or demon?"
Piper nodded, " Then I froze him and Phoebe was unconscious, I couldn't wake her up Prue. Then he unfroze and he took her and I don't know where he's gone"
"It's ok, it's not your fault, we'll find her I promise, but we need to look in the book of shadows first" Prue said, trying to keep calm, while inside she was screaming, "come on" Prue said to Piper, gently pulling her up from the floor.
**************************************************************************** *****************
Phoebe struggled to get him off her, but he was too strong, his hands gripped her arms as he pinned her to the ground. The floor was cold on her naked back, she closed her eyes, she couldn't bear to look anymore. She tried to scream, but all that came out of her mouth was a small whimper.
**************************************************************************** *************
Prue was frantically flipping through the Book of Shadows. Piper, who had calmed down a little bit but was still sniffling was standing by her, trying to look for the page on her attacker. "There! There he is, that's him" Piper cried pointing to an elaborately decorated page. The drawing was so real; Piper could almost feel him, as though he was watching her.
**************************************************************************** ***************
Phoebe was curled up in a corner, she was determined not to cry, she wouldn't cry. She whimpered as she tried to move into a comfortable position on the floor. The warlock, or demon, whatever he was, had raped her, and then tied her up. The rope was burning her wrists as she struggled to move. It was so cold that she was shivering.
"Prue, Piper" she whispered, " please help me" Her head dropped, she had passed out.
**************************************************************************** ******************
"Samuel" Prue read from the book, "A warlock with limited powers, who preys on young, powerful witches to bear his offspring. His powers aren't known, as he often doesn't use them to attack. If his victim becomes pregnant, he will kidnap the victim until the child is born, then, unless the witch agrees to become evil, he will kill her and send the child to be raised by fellow warlocks, however if he is vanquished before he kidnaps the victim, all evil is erased from the child and the child will grow to be good" Prue shivered, " There's a vanquishing spell in here too"
"That doesn't help us find Phoebe" Piper said, upset
"No, it doesn't, but at least we know what we're up against"
Piper held her head in her hands
"Piper, I know what you're thinking, and it's not your fault, none of this is your fault" Prue said
"We have to find her Prue" Piper was starting to get tearful again
"We will, I promise" Prue tried to reassure Piper
The pages of the book began to flip; Prue and Piper stared at it amazed, as it stopped on a page.
"Scrying" Prue read
"To track a magical being using a crystal and a map" Piper read the rest of the paragraph
Prue looked around the room, then up to the ceiling, "Thank you" she said to no one in particular
Piper had suddenly gone into action mode, she wiped the tears from her eyes, and started to take charge, "I'm sure I've seen a crystal in one of those drawers" she said pointing to a cabinet, "and there's a map over there"
Prue found the crystal and was looking for the map, "Got them" she said, holding them up
"Ok, it says we need something of hers for it to work" Piper said, "She disappeared down to Phoebe's room and returned to the attic, holding one of Phoebe's favorite necklaces, a locket she had been given on her 13th birthday, "This should work" she said, showing the locket to Prue.
Piper was bent over the map, the crystal dangling in the air above it. Prue was writing down the vanquishing spell on a piece of paper. Piper was holding the locket in one hand and had her eyes closed, concentrating on Phoebe, "Come on" she urged herself. The crystal started swinging, Piper opened her eyes in surprise and stared at it amazed. "Prue, I think it's working" The crystal hovered over the map for a few seconds, and then dropped.
Prue came over, the spell now safely folded in her pocket, "Hey it worked" she said to Piper, "Well done"
"Do you know where that is?" Piper asked, pointing to the map
"Yeah, it's an old deserted warehouse, why would he take her there? Where they could be found?"
"I don't know" Piper said, "But we should go now" Piper said walking out the door
"Wait" Prue said. Piper stopped, "What? why?" Piper said
Prue motioned her clothes, she was still wearing her pyjamas, " Aren't you gonna change?"
Piper shook her head, " No there's no time, we have to get to Phoebe"
**************************************************************************** ****************************************
Phoebe had woken up again, he hadn't been back, not that she knew of. She was desperately praying that, somehow, her sisters would find her. She didn't know when he'd be back, but she hoped it wasn't anytime soon. Blood was still dripping from the gash on her forehead, but it wasn't pouring like before. She hurt all over and every movement was agony, even though she was sitting in an uncomfortable position, she didn't dare move in case she passed out from pain. This whole thing had brought back so many painful memories of when she was so alone back in New York, memories, that she'd rather just forget about. She had never told them that that was the real reason she had come back from New York. She had been a pretty good actress, and had pushed everything to the back of her mind, where it was safe, where it would cause no trouble or heartache for anyone but herself. Her sister's didn't need that then, and they definitely wouldn't need it now, not after what had happened to Piper. She couldn't hide what had just happened to her, but she could hide all the other times, all the other attacks, and all the other pain.
**************************************************************************** *************
Ok, so that was Phoebe orientated, but I can't give Piper all the grief can I? Anyways, hope you liked it; it was a bit longer this time I think :). Next chapter up soon. Please review, I love it when you review, you lovely people, lol!

"Piper, I know you and I know you're not just tired, you're hurting, emotionally as well as physically. If you don't wanna talk to me then talk to Prue, but sweetie you can talk to me, about anything" she said earnestly to Piper," you know that"

"Piper, I know what you're thinking, and it's not your fault, none of this is your fault" Prue said
"We have to find her Prue" Piper was starting to get tearful again
"We will, I promise" Prue tried to reassure Piper
The pages of the book began to flip; Prue and Piper stared at it amazed, as it stopped on a page.
"Scrying" Prue read
"To track a magical being using a crystal and a map" Piper read the rest of the paragraph
Prue looked around the room, then up to the ceiling, "Thank you" she said to no one in particular
Piper had suddenly gone into action mode, she wiped the tears from her eyes, and started to take charge, "I'm sure I've seen a crystal in one of those drawers" she said pointing to a cabinet, "and there's a map over there"
Prue found the crystal and was looking for the map, "Got them" she said, holding them up
"Ok, it says we need something of hers for it to work" Piper said, "She disappeared down to Phoebe's room and returned to the attic, holding one of Phoebe's favorite necklaces, a locket she had been given on her 13th birthday, "This should work" she said, showing the locket to Prue.
Piper was bent over the map, the crystal dangling in the air above it. Prue was writing down the vanquishing spell on a piece of paper. Piper was holding the locket in one hand and had her eyes closed, concentrating on Phoebe, "Come on" she urged herself. The crystal started swinging, Piper opened her eyes in surprise and stared at it amazed. "Prue, I think it's working" The crystal hovered over the map for a few seconds, and then dropped.
Prue came over, the spell now safely folded in her pocket, "Hey it worked" she said to Piper, "Well done"
"Do you know where that is?" Piper asked, pointing to the map
"Yeah, it's an old deserted warehouse, why would he take her there? Where they could be found?"
"I don't know" Piper said, "But we should go now" Piper said walking out the door
"Wait" Prue said. Piper stopped, "What? why?" Piper said
Prue motioned her clothes, she was still wearing her pyjamas, " Aren't you gonna change?"
Piper shook her head, " No there's no time, we have to get to Phoebe"

Phoebe had woken up again, he hadn't been back, not that she knew of. She was desperately praying that, somehow, her sisters would find her. She didn't know when he'd be back, but she hoped it wasn't anytime soon. Blood was still dripping from the gash on her forehead, but it wasn't pouring like before. She hurt all over and every movement was agony, even though she was sitting in an uncomfortable position, she didn't dare move in case she passed out from pain. This whole thing had brought back so many painful memories of when she was so alone back in New York, memories, that she'd rather just forget about. She had never told them that that was the real reason she had come back from New York. She had been a pretty good actress, and had pushed everything to the back of her mind, where it was safe, where it would cause no trouble or heartache for anyone but herself. Her sister's didn't need that then, and they definitely wouldn't need it now, not after what had happened to Piper. She couldn't hide what had just happened to her, but she could hide all the other times, all the other attacks, and all the other pain.
