AN: Oh, update! I was a little blocked on this chapter, but I got over it. so, the much awaited chapter is here!
onetreehill4eva - Oh, are you in suspense? Didn't notice. (sarcasm, sarcasm)
winter blaze - it seems people are beginning to write shorter reviews. Could it be that they want me to stop using my time to respond longly to them and use it to write more? Well, won't work, I get sidetracked too easily. I check my email constantly. You didn't need to know that, but, anyways, I like reviews, and they inspire me to continue on with the story, and sometimes spark ideas. I like them much!
C.C. McKenna- Wow. Was that adjective filled or what? And yes, Piper and Leo are made for each other. I SO think that. I mean, have you seen my profile page? You will notice that i am not only a Piper/Leo freak, but also a music freak. I list many songs on the page that I like. But, what else do you expect from someone who names the chapters after songs?
PiperHalliwell025 -Wow, are you in a please contest with another reviewer? What was that, 14 pleases? Oh well, I like it when people ask nicely. It makes me want to do what they want.
sarah - Oh, many abbreviations. And why is the word abbreviation so long? Anyway, I am updating. Sorry for the delay.
Now, chapter 33...
:::::::
Prue and the others were at the edge of the land that led onto the dock. Prue stared at the scene in shock and unbelieving. Her little sister had a knife to her throat. She was being threatened because of her. Prue looked at her, and noticed that she was bound, both around her ankles and, probably, her wrists, since Prue couldn't see those. Piper looked confident and brave, but Prue knew better. She looked into her eyes, and saw that she was scared to death. Prue was very worried about her little sister. "Piper." Prue heard Phoebe whisper. She was just as worried as Prue was. Prue made a move to step forward, but Mr. Connel noticed. He shoved the knife even closer to Piper's throat, making it touch her skin. Prue heard her sister's sharp intake of breath and saw the movement, so she froze again. "Not smart, Prue." Mr. Connel said, smiling. He then kissed the top of Piper's head, making the kids squirm, especially Leo.
Suddenly, Dr. Kush threw something into the water at the same time Mr Connel let go of her. Piper shot off of the dock and into the water. It hurt when she went crashing into the wetness. Piper felt herself being dragged down by the weight. She kept trying to struggle to the top, but it was useless. She couldn't use her arms, and her ankles were attached to the weight. She knew that the lake wasn't too deep, but it seemed forever until the weight hit the bottom. By then, her lungs were on fire. She needed air. She felt herself slipping into a cold world of blackness.
;;;;;;;
As they watched Piper fly into the water, they gasped. "Piper!" Leo cried, amazed that he had just watched his girlfriend disappear into the water. Luckily, Andy acted fast. "You two!" he said, pointing to Leo and Billy. "Go get her! We'll keep them busy." He picked them because he knew that they were the best swimmers, and that they could bring Piper out of the water quickly. Leo and Billy immediately tore off their shirts and dove into the freezing cold water. "NO!" Mr. Connel yelled. "Too bad they won't find her in time!" Dr. Kush said, turned towards the five left.
"Now, let's get rid of you brats." he said, pulling out HIS knife. "Oh, great. We're doing this again." Glenn said sarcastically, taking out his pocket knife. The others stared at him. "What? Ever since That Friday, I've been carrying it around with me, just in case." he said, and then was surprised when Andy did the same. "Great minds think alike." he said, smiling a little bit. All five of them then walked forward to face the two adults.
;;;;;;
Billy and Leo both came up at the same time. "You find her yet?" Billy asked. Leo shook his head solemnly, 'no'. "Well, let's keep looking." he said, and they dove back beneath the water. They knew that she would probably be on the bottom, so that's where they were searching. They were both looking in the part where they thought she went, but could find nothing.
As Leo searched, he was worried. He didn't know what he would do if they couldn't find her soon. He knew that if that happened, she would be dead. He couldn't bear the thought of that. He began to swim harder and faster, hoping to reach her in time.
Meanwhile, Billy was searching about twenty feet away. It was very hard to look, especially at the bottom. The sun was almost done setting, and Billy could barely see his own hand in front of his face. He was surprised when he ran in to something. It was soft and hard at the same time, if that made sense. He reached out and a bit up, and he felt hair. 'Oh my God! I found Piper!' he thought, and reached to grab her body. Once he had her around the middle, he began to pull her up. The key word is began. He found that she was too heavy for him to lift up. 'It must be the weight.' he thought. He swam quickly up to the surface.
Luckily, Leo came up at the exact same time. "I found her!" Billy yelled when Leo came up. Leo looked at him. He was about to ask where she was when Billy said, "She's right under me, just I can't lift her up. I think her weight combined with the weight of, well, the weight, is too heavy for me to carry." Before he could continue, Leo was by his side. "Let's go!" Leo said, and pulled Billy underwater too.
Billy led Leo to the place where he found her. She wasn't floating as much anymore. She was visibly sinking to the very bottom. 'God!' Leo thought as he and Billy grabbed her. They went slowly up to the surface, as they had lost the use of their arms and were carrying an extra person. When they finally reached the surface, they both gasped for breath. They then headed towards the edge of the lake.
Andy, Paige, and Glenn had just finished tying up Mr. Connel and Dr. Kush when Phoebe shouted "Look!" Everyone looked over, and saw Billy and Leo heading towards land. They saw that they were carrying Piper. "Oh, God!" Prue said, as they came out of the water. They laid her down as the others came running over. They watched as Paige put her fingers on her neck to check a pulse. She looked up, watery eyed. "She's gone."
;;;;;;;
AN: I'm not mean, so I'll continue.
;;;;;;;
"What?" Prue asked, feeling Piper's pulse, too. There was nothing. "Move." Andy said, shoving the two sisters to the side. He cut her restraints with his pocket knife, and then began trying to resuscitate her, while the others just stared at her lifeless body. They couldn't believe this was happening.
"I succeeded. I killed your little sister, Prue, and it is your fault." Mr. Connel said, smiling. He knew from his observations that he was just voicing Prue's thoughts. "It's not her fault." Phoebe said angrily. "It's your fault, you bastard!" "She's right." Paige said, angry tears rolled down her cheeks. "You are the one that killed her!" she screamed.
They then turned back to watch Andy, and pray that Piper was going survive. To answer those prayers, her eyes fluttered open, and she began coughing up lots and lots of water. Andy turned her onto her side for the recovery position. "Piper!" the girls squealed, ecstatic. There sister wasn't dead! Piper gave them a weak smile before passing out.
"Andy, why did she pass out?" Leo asked, panicking, along with the others. "Oh, it's fine." Andy said, then he pointed to her lips, which were a bright blue. "She's not dying or anything. She just needs to get to a hospital. She has a bit of hypothermia." Andy finished, as he took off his jacket and put it on her. "She needs to keep warm." he said, answering their unspoken question. He had realized that he was probably the only one thinking straight at the moment, so he should spell everything out for his friends and brothers. Everyone else took off their jackets and covered Piper with them as well.
"Wait, hospital?" Paige asked. "Yes, Paige, a hospital. You know, where people go for medical help?" Glenn said smartly. "I know what a hospital is, doofus!" Paige said, giving him a little smack. "Well, why did you mention it?" Andy asked, wanting to get to the point. "Oh, I mean, I should probably use my cell." Paige said, whipping out her cell phone. "And WHY didn't you take it out before?" Billy asked. "Well, I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking straight, because, well, my sister was dying." Paige said, sticking out her tongue. "Could you please USE the cell phone?" Phoebe asked. She wanted help for her older sister ASAP. "Oh, sorry." Paige said.
She dialed 911, and got the operator. "Emergency or crime?" "Both." Paige said. She remembered Prue answering the question the exact same way. "Yes, what is it?" asked the person on the other line. "Well, it's a long story. We are at the camp lake, and my sister just had an attempted murder attempt on her." "Attempted murder attempt?" Glenn asked. "Oh, shut up!" Paige said. "Excuse me, miss?" the person on the other line asked, bewildered. "Oh, not you, just one of my friends. And," she continued, "she needs an ambulance. Also, there needs to be policemen here to arrest the two people who tried to kill her. They are my oldest sister's stalker and my sister's doctor. Repeat, long story. The policemen you send will probably know about the other case." Paige said. "Well, an ambulance and some squad cars will be sent right away." the person said. "Okay." Paige said, and hung up after she was given permission to.
"So, the verdict is..." Billy said, smirking. "They're coming, both the ambulance and squad cars." she said. Then, she smiled in the men's direction. Prue, noticing that comment, let go of Piper's hand, stood up, and faced the two men. "Oh, hello, my dear Prue." "I have not ever been, nor will I ever be, yours." Prue said. "I will always be his." And with that, Prue walked over to Andy and kissed. "NO!" Mr. Connel screamed. "Oh, you liked that, did you?" Phoebe asked sneeringly. "Come on, Andy, Prue, you can do better than that!" Paige encouraged, laughing at Mr. Connel's reaction. "You think so?" Prue asked, and then turned back to Andy. Their lips locked into an even more passionate kiss.
;;;;;;
It was about five minutes later when the ambulance and police cars arrived. They had used the road reserved only for authorized vehicles. When the doctors came out of the ambulance, they went directly to Piper, immediately noticing that she was the only kid in need. The police officers, on the other hand, were surprised to find eight kids and two tied-up adults. "The ones you want are over there." Phoebe said disgustedly, pointing to the two men. Two of the officers went over to handcuff them, while the other went over to Andy, Billy, Glenn, Phoebe, and Paige. "What happened?" he asked. "Aren't you officers getting tired of asking us that?" Phoebe asked jokingly. After a pause, Billy said, "Well, Phoebe here found out that those two thugs had kidnapped her sister. Well, we came here to rescue her, and the two men threw her into the lake, bound. Leo and I got her out, and Andy brought her back to life. Of course, I don't know all that happened, and those aren't all the details. You'll have to question everyone later to find that out, especially Piper." he finished, then they all turned to go see how Piper was doing.
When they got over there, Prue and Leo were asked the same question. Since they weren't responding, Billy answered that one as well. "Well," he said, and the two finally noticed that they were there. "Piper was thrown into the lake by the jerks, she drowned, Leo and I brought her out, and Andy revived her." he finished giving them the short overview. He knew that no one felt like going into the details right then. "Well, then we'll have to get her to the hospital to run some tests and get her warmed up. Two of you can ride in the ambulance." he added, looking at the seven. "I think that you two should go." Phoebe said, looking at Leo and Prue. "Are you sure?" Prue asked, not wanting to take the opportunity from everyone else. "Yes." Paige said, and gave them a little push towards the ambulance. "Thanks." Leo said, and the two of them ran off to catch the ambulance.
When they were inside, the police officer turned to the other five. "I'm sorry, but we don't have room in the squad car." he said. "Oh, don't worry." Phoebe said. "Prue left the keys in the engine of her car. We'll run up there and meet you at the hospital." "All right, then" the officer said, and headed towards the police car. "Phoebe, does that mean that we have to take that super-long walk back?" Glenn asked whinely. "Yes." Phoebe said, then everyone burst out laughing. They were in high spirits. They had a feeling everything would be alright.
