Death Wish Love: Chapter 8
Leo threw the chairs and table that were positioned in front of the front door, as a protection against Dan, to the side. He ran out of the house, unsure of where to go, or what to do, only knowing that he had to find Piper, and soon. He was about to run down the street, but suddenly realized how foolish that was, she could be anywhere. He sat down on the steps and put his head in his hands. What was he going to do?
It hurt him to know that wherever Piper was, she was with that monster, alone, and that he couldn't do a thing about it. With a cry of frustration, Leo slammed his hand onto the step. His knuckles began to bleed, but he hardly noticed, because right beside him on the stoop, sat an innocent folded piece of paper.
With his name on it.
In Dan's handwriting.
He snatched it up and immediately unfolded it, careful not to rip it. He read what was on it and felt sick to his stomach. He stood up slowly, and walked back through the front door of the manor, weaving through the furniture he had thrown aside in his haste to get to Piper.
Phoebe, Prue and Paige all met him in the front hall with a worried look in their eyes. Without words, he handed them the note. He didn't want to look at the words written on it.
You know who I am,
And I know you too,
I stole Piper,
Boo-hoo, boo-hoo.
I'll leave you a hint,
To her spot,
In each of these poems,
But only 5 hours is what you've got.
Find all six poems,
and figure them out,
You might find her time.
Or you just might strike out.
So hurry dear Wyatt,
And those sisters of hers too.
The next clue you'll find one morning,
In something wrapped in white.
With letters all over,
it's black and gray.
But I just told you it was white,
Now what do you say?
Tick tock, tick tock
Your time's running out.
Tick tock, tick tock.
No time to doubt.
Leo leaned against the doorway and slumped down. His head dropped into his hands as he listened to the gasps that came from the girls as the read the note. Prue clasped her hands over her mouth and dropped the note. It drifted slowly to the floor, and stayed there, as if dead.
Phoebe leant on the table, as though she didn't think her legs would support her any longer. Only Paige remained somewhat in control, but she was still shaking as she reached down to pick up the note.
"I guess w-we should st-tart figuring this out. We've only got five hours." she said, her voice cracking as she spoke. Leo nodded, his face set, and stood. He led them to the dining room, and each of them took a seat.
"The clues we have are, the next clue, you'll find one morning, in something wrapped in white. With letters all over, it's black and gray." Prue read, her voice relatively calm, but her hands were shaking.
"But that makes no sense," said Phoebe, wrinkling her nose. "He told us it was white, then black and gray. How can it be all three?"
"Not exactly," Leo said, glancing at the paper again. "He said it was wrapped in white, he tries to confuse us the next stanza though, by changing what he just said. So, what do we know that's wrapped in white, comes in the morning, has letters all over and is black and gray."
"That sounds really familiar. Like I've heard something like it. Is black and gray, and letters all over…but it's not like that." Phoebe said, confusing them all. Paige raised an eyebrow and wrinkled her nose.
"Ok. You get back to us on that one Phoebe." Paige bit her lip and glanced at the clock nearby. Prue looked at the clock too. Worry was written all over her face.
"What if Dan isn't telling the truth? What if we're just on a wild goose chase? What if Piper's already-" Leo cut her off quickly.
"We're going to have to trust the what-if's Prue, we've got nothing left. Nothing. And I'm not losing Piper. So let's just figure this out."
Abrupt kinda ending, but here's a challenge. Solve the riddle, you get a cookie. Give me a good rhyme for the word "moon" and the word "her", and I'll give you several cookies.
Another apology for being so late, another chapter will be up in a little while, and if we're lucky, another chapter after that. " Sorry again, you guys deserve a lot more.
