AN: This is a short but important chapter!
Winter Blaze - I know, very sad, but I had to get rid of Paige's folks somehow!
p3charmed4eva - Thank you on the Piper/Paige 'ship. I am so happy that i have given you an interest in Paige now! I kind of like her a lot better than Prue, because she isn't half-biotch and she doesn't overshadow her sisters.
JanaRose - No, I do not intend this to be a murder mystery, but there will be a few more murders in the story. I know, this story is freaky, but I like this kind of thing. I like action, so there will soon be some ass-kicking in the story!
Now, chapter nineteen...

When Grams came back from the trip, she walked in to find all four girls crying on the couch. They told her the whole story, and she offered to have Paige stay at their house, at least while the police were searching for Paige's real parents, which they had a three week deadline for. If they didn't find them, Paige would go to a foster home. Prue had called Andy that night, to explain to him what had happened. He expressed his deepest sympathies, and promised to tell his brothers, and to tell them not to mention it around Paige. Paige had finally let go of Piper when it was time for bed that night.
;;;;;;;;
Prue, Piper, and Phoebe were about to get into the car when Paige ran out of the house, fully dressed and wearing her backpack. "Paige? What are you doing out here?" Phoebe asked. "Well, I don't want to miss any schoolwork because of this. I don't want that psycho evil bastard to ruin my life. He will NOT have control over me." Paige said, in a tone that clearly said 'I can't believe you thought I wasn't going to go on with my life'. She then got into the car, with bewildered sisters just staring at her.
;;;;;;;
Prue got to her first class and saw the usual flower and note on her desk. She was usually frightened at this, but this time she was pissed. How dare he continue to do this after killing Paige's parents and then trying to kill Paige? How dare he continue to do this, after reminding her of her own mother's death? She just wanted to rip the note and flower to pieces, and only didn't for one reason. It might lead to a clue to who this evil son of a bitch was. She read the note.
So your friend Could survive But her parents Are not alive.
I've seen your grief I've seen your pain From when you're put Under the strain
Of helping your friends They don't deserve you You're too good for them My beautiful Prue
I still watch you All that I can And if I didn't I wouldn't be a real man
I can't watch you during school But I can between classes If anyone gets in my way I punish their asses
I can not skip Or all would know Who I am So I try not to show
I know you have been Going to the police But you get nothing To say the least
I know you have But if you again do Some one will die And the roses would be true.
Prue got infuriated at this guy. How could he be so calm about murdering two people? And what was with the relentless rhyming? And how could he torture her by threatening to kill one of her best friends? She wanted to get to the bottom of this if it was the last thing she did.
;;;;;;;;;
The eight-some decided to go to the park that day. Well, Paige decided she wanted to go to the park, so the others agreed with her. All eight sat in a circle, talking about their days. Paige talked about how she had gotten excused from the big math test, while Glenn complained about how hard it was. Phoebe and Billy talked about the big basketball game in gym, which their team won. Piper and Leo both complained about the amount of homework they had gotten that day. Their main complaint was about their new science project, where they had to research a theory and write a five page paper about it. But, they also complained about the history book work and the love poems they had to write in English class. Andy talked about the fact that his AP Law teacher had forgotten his lesson plan, so they had a free period.
When it came to Prue, she told everyone about today's letter, except the last stanza. After she finished reading it, everyone had a look on their faces that said they were majorly pissed. Phoebe, forever trying to make people smile, said, "Punish their asses? That makes it sound like he put them in detention or something." Then she went into nervous giggles, but stopped when Piper stood up. "Phoebe, you are a GENIUS!"
Everyone stared at Piper. "What?!" she asked, looking at their faces. "Why on EARTH is Phoebe a genius?" Billy asked jokingly. "Because, she narrowed out suspects to, like, only thirty or forty people from about five hundred!" Piper said, and then ran over and hugged Phoebe, saying "you're so smart." over and over again. "Okay, Piper, can you please explain to the mentally challenged?" Glenn asked, rubbing his head. "Oh, sorry." Piper said, letting go of Phoebe. "But, don't you guys see? He said 'punish their asses' not 'kick their asses'. A student would have beaten the crap out of the people in their way, but a teacher would punish them by putting them in detention!" Piper finished, smiling."No, Piper, you're wrong. You're the genius!" Prue shouted, then began hugging her sister. "Get off me!" Piper said, then laughed.
"You guys, we have really narrowed the possibilities by this." Andy said. "We should tell the police." "NO." Paige said. "They have barely done anything, and besides, don't you think it would be best if he didn't think we were on to him. It seems as if he knew that we had notified the police mere minutes after we actually did." "And," replied Prue, "I didn't tell you guys the last stanza of today's poem." Everyone stopped talking and looked at her. "Why?" Leo asked. "Because, I didn't want you guys to get worried. It said that if I went to the police again, then someone would die. It said then the roses would be true. And the roses represented the eight of us." Prue then paused. "And, I would never forgive myself if I lost one of you." she added, then broke down into tears. They all immediately began comforting her. After a few minutes of sobbing, Prue looked at them and said, "I am so sorry you guys. All this is my fault. People have died because of me."
"No, it isn't." Paige said sternly. "It is NOT your fault that any of this has happened. It is NOT your fault that my parents died. You are NOT to be blamed. You SHOULD blame the damn evil bastardy son of a bitch that is a pervert beyond belief. We WILL find him, and he will burn in hell for his deeds. Don't you EVER say any of this is your fault." The others were all staring at her by the time she was done with this outburst. They had never seen her like this. She looked like she was sort of angry at Prue for thinking that any of it was her fault.
"You're right, Paige, we WILL find him. And, since we can't go to the police, we might as well investigate ourselves." Billy said. "What, so act like a bunch of Nancy Drews?" Phoebe asked him, with a slight smile on her face. "Nancy Drews and Hardy boys." corrected Glenn. He hated it if people called him a girl, even though he had nothing against them. "Right." Paige said. "Are you guys serious?" Andy asked. "Yes, they are, Andy." Prue said. "And I think it is a great idea. How about we start at school? I mean, we don't know which male teacher it is, so we might as well start at a place that they would all keep things." "You know what? This actually sounds like a good idea." Leo put in. "When should we do it?" Andy asked. He had given in to doing it. "How about Friday night? We're allowed to be out later, then, so we wouldn't get in trouble?" Piper said. "Yeah. This Friday." Prue said, agreeing.
AN: So, it's a teacher. Have any guesses? I've given you a lot of clues, so you should figure it out. Anyway, this is after a song by Weird Al Yankovic.
