Just to let you all know, this story is not yet finished, I still have more
in store for Piper! Please review :)
**************************************************************************** ********
They all watched as the flames died down, leaving no trace of the warlock that had caused them all so much heartache. Prue felt along a damp wall and found a lightswitch. She pressed it and light flooded the room, revealing plain dirty-white walls and a damp stained floor. Prue noticed that Piper was half-naked and shivering. She picked up Pipers coat, the only item of her clothing that had not been ripped, and wrapped it round her.
"You did great sweetie" she said to Piper reassuringly, "he's gone"
Phoebe was sobbing again, she knew that this time was bad, she knew that she had to go to the hospital this time. She pulled herself up.
"I.have.to.go.to.the.hospital" Phoebe managed to say in short sharp breaths
Prue immediately turned and looked at her baby sister who was bent over in pain and in tears
"Ok, ok" she said gently, walking towards Phoebe, "and you too Piper, you're hurt too"
Piper didn't want to go, but she nodded her head anyway, she was too tired to put up a fight with Prue, she didn't have the strength. And she'd loose anyway.
Prue put her arm around Phoebe's waist and steadied her. Phoebe tried to pull away, but ended up nearly falling over. Prue caught her just in time.
"Phoebe it's ok, it's all right, you don't have to be frightened anymore, he's not coming back" she said, stroking her trembling sisters forehead. She held out her free hand to Piper. "Come on, lets get out of here" Prue said as the began to walk slowly to the door of the warehouse.
By the time they got to the car, Phoebe had almost passed out from pain. She had forgotten just how painful this kind of pain was. Piper although probably in as much pain as Phoebe was, was much better at hiding it; she bit her lip and just let out small whimpering sounds. Trying to push her pain aside, she helped Prue to put Phoebe in the back seat. As she got in the front seat next to Prue, she realised that underneath her coat, she was half-naked.
"Prue" Piper said, as Prue drove out of the parking lot, "under my coat I've got no clothes on, they're gonna guess what happened"
"Honey, it's ok, I'm not gonna let them make you talk to the police ok, I'm not gonna let them do anything you don't wanna do, but you're hurt and you need help" Prue said
Piper accepted this fact and knew that Prue was right. Apart from the occasional sob from Phoebe, the drive to the hospital was silent.
"What are we going to tell them?" Piper spoke up as Prue pulled in to the hospital car park
"We'll just tell them what they need to know, and that we don't wanna talk to the police or anybody ok" Prue pulled in to a parking space and turned to face Phoebe, "If they ask who or what, just tell them you can't remember or you don't know"
It wasn't like Phoebe needed talking through this, but Prue obviously didn't know that.
"Ok, are you ready?" Prue asked, making sure that her sisters were ok
Piper nodded her head and Phoebe mumbled a weak 'yes'. Phoebe started to get out of her seat, but was forced back down again when a shooting pain ripped through her body. She screamed.
"Phoebe honey calm down ok, I know you're in a lot of pain. Just try to get up slowly" Prue said gently, assisting her little sister to sit up, " You're alright" she said bending down so she was at eye level with Phoebe. "Good girl, just bring your legs round slowly". She turned to Piper. "Piper are you ok?"
"Yeah" Piper lied, she'd only just noticed that her left ankle was hurting, it was probably sprained, she thought. She trod gingerly as she walked around to the drivers side of the car. Prue had managed to help Phoebe get out of the back seat and was now supporting her little sister. Prue locked the car and held ut her other hand to Piper. Together the walked the short distance to the ER, dreading what would follow.
As they entered the hospital reception area, it felt like everyone had turned to look at them. It wasn't like they weren't noticable though, Phoebe was crying quite loudly in pain, Prue was a mess and looked like she had seen a ghost and Piper was walking with quite a bad limp and was shaking. They just stood in the middle of the room, feeling lost in the business of the place.
A nurse noticed them and walked over. She had a sympthetic look in her eyes, like she knew what had happened. She was quite young, about 32-3 and had long, brown hair, almost the same colour as Pipers. As she was quite a bit taller than the girls, she bent down slightly, so that she was at the same level as them.
"Hi" she said to Prue, who to her looked the most alert of the group, "What's your name?"
"P-Prue" Prue had suddenly begun to stutter, "a-and P-Piper and P-Phoebe" she added nodding toward Piper and Phoebe
"Ok, I'm Nurse Hart, but you can call me Emma" she looked again at the state the girls were in, "Come on, lets go somewhere a bit more private" She ushered the girls past a group of irritated and stressed out patients, waiting to be seen by a doctor. They walked down a long, spotless corridor, and as they did so various medical personell turned to look, but very quickley and proffessionally went back to what they were doing. The finally stopped at a room named 'Exam 5'. Emma opened the door and led them in. There were 3 beds in the room, each with a curtain separating them. The room smelled very clean. It was the smell of hospitals that scared Piper. Emma turned to look at them.
"Ok, Phoebe is it?" she said, looking at the youngest sister, who was still crying, but only barely now. "Come on" she said kindly as she placed her arm around Phoebe's waist and steered her towards the bed. Phoebe obediantly walked with her. As the got up onto the bed, the shooting pain that had hit her in the car, hit her agin, but this time it was worse.
"I'm sorry" Emma said apologetically, when she saw the pain that Phoebe was in, "I'll get you something for the pain soon ok"
Phoebe just nodded as the pain subsided. It was ok when she was in on position, it was just when she tried to move into another, that it hurt badly. She felt the gash on her head, it was still dripping blood.
Emma walked back over to Prue and Piper. "Lets get you on to a bed too" she said kindly to Piper, but Piper clung on to Prue as she had done when she were little. Emma had to practically prize her away, she bent down and looked Piper in the eye, "It's alright honey, you're friend isn't going anywhere" she walked Piper over to the middle bed and helped her to get up
"Sister" Piper corrected, as she pulled her short coat tighter around her
Emma walked back over to where Prue was standing.
"Oh, no, no, no, I'm not hurt" Prue protested, as Emma gently pulled her towards the third bed
"You're freezing and you're shaking, I think you're in shock" Emma said
"I am fine" Prue said stubbornly
Emma didn't lose her temper with the stibborn Prue, "We just have to check you over ok"
Prue sighed, nodded and hopped onto the last bed.
Emma went over to a storage cabinet and pulled out three hospital gowns, "I need you to get changed into these" she said, handing one to Prue Piper and then Phoebe, "If you need any help I'll be back in a minute" she said as she went out, shutting the door behind her.
Emma walked a little further down the white corridor and stopped outside an office. On the door was a sign that read 'Michaela Riley M.D' Emma knocked on the door twice.
"Come in" a stressed out sounding voice from within the office said.
Emma entered the office, "Dr.Riley..." Emma didn't get very far as she was interrupted by the doctor
"Nurse Hart, whatever it is, let Jacob handle it, I think his lazy ass is up in the canteen" the doctor said, not looking up from her desk
"I really think you should handle this, because Dr.Jacobs isn't really the sympathetic type" Emma said
"What is it?" The doctor said
"I've got a couple of patients, and they've been badly beaten, well two of them have and I think it's a possibility that one or more of them have been sexually assulted"
The last comment made Dr.Riley look up from her paperwork, "Ok, I'll be down in around 10 minutes, check their obs and start up IV's. What room?"
"Exam 5"
"Ok"
"Thanks Dr.Riley" Emma said, exiting her superiors office.
**************************************************************************** ***************************************************
Prue had got on her hospital gown with ease, her clothes were now folded in a pile at the end of her bed. Piper, although fighting against pain, had managed to get her gown on with relative ease and now had the blankets pulled around her. But Phoebe couldn't, she found it too painful to move her arms to unbutton her coat. Prue got off her bed and walked over to Phoebe.
"Here, let me help you" Prue said kindly to her little sister
"No!" Phoebe shouted, pulling away from her sister, "I can do it myself". She struggled to unbutton her coat.
Against Phoebe's protests, Prue undid her coat and helped her put the gown on, she tied up the back, "There all done" she said, as she eased Phoebe back down into a lying position on the bed. "Piper are you ok?"
"Uh-huh" Piper answered. She was rocking back and forth on the bed, trying to forget about the pains that had a steel grip on her body.
Emma re-entered the room, with an instrument tray and 3 clipboards. She then proceeded to ask the girls various questions. "Right" she said as, she finished asking Phoebe the questions on the chart, "I'm just going to start up a drip, so we can get some fluids into you ok?"
Phoebe nodded and held out her arm for Emma.
Emma pulled on some gloves and pulled over the instrument tray. She picked up a needle, "Small scratch", she said as she pushed the needle into Phoebe's skin. Phoebe didn't even flinch. Emma finished Phoebe's IV, changed her gloves, picked up another needle and walked towards Piper. Piper had been watching Phoebe and didn't like the look of the needle. She pulled the blankets tighter round her, and shrunk back into the bed.
"You are not putting that in me" Piper said, eyeing the needle
"It's alright", Emma tried to reassure her, "It's just a small scratch"
"I said no" Piper said firmly, not wanting to inflict any more pain on herself
"Ok", Emma said knidly, "I'll do your sister's first alright". She quickly set up Prue's IV and was changing her gloves when Dr. Riley came in.
The doctor looked quite stern and professional and Prue was surprised at the kind tone of her voice. She walked over to Phoebe's bed and picked up the chart with her details on it. "Hi Phoebe" she said, reading off the chart, "I'm Dr. Riley, is it ok, if I take a quick look at you?"
Phoebe nodded, but didn't say anything.
Dr. Riley pulled the curtain aorund Phoebe's bed, separtating her from her sisters. Emma joined the doctor. "I need you to tell me where it hurts ok" she said as she pressed lightly on Phoebe's slightly swollen, bruised stomach. Phoebe drew in a sharp breath and shrank back in pain.
"Everywhere" Phoebe said tearfully
"Ok, ok" the doctor said, pulling her hands away from Phoebe, "I think we should do this after we've given you some pain meds alright. Emma 5mg Morphine"
"No, no, do it now" Phoebe said, she didn't want to draw the whole thing out. Dr. Riley looked doubtful, but carried on with Phoebe's request.
Dr. Riley finished examining Phoebe. "Emma, she needs to go to x-ray, to check that there's nothing in the cut on her head" She turned to Phoebe, "The we'll give you something for the pain"
Phoebe nodded. Dr. Riley ticked a few things off Phoebe's chart and turned to Emma, "Take her up to x-ray, and make sure she gets seen quickly"
Emma helped Phoebe off the bed and into a wheelchair and pushed her out.
Dr. Riley pulled back the curtain and replaced Phoebe's chart and walked over to Piper's bed. "Ok Piper" she said, reading Pipers chart, "I'm just going to quickly examine you" she said, pulling the curtain round Pipers bed.
Prue was left feeling isolated and alone. She wondered how the hell her sisters were coping with the whole situation.
"Can you just sit up for me" Dr. Riley said to Piper. Piper sat up with relative ease. The doctor placed her stethoscope on Piper's back to listen to her chest. Piper moved away, mainly beacuse of the coldnss of the metal, but Dr. Riley took it as a sign of pain. Upon a closer inspection of Piper's back, she found the older scratches and cuts.
