O.O
Sorry for the long wait, guys! I was on vacation for a few weeks and couldn't update! But, guess what? I really was going to stop this story, but all the supportive e-mails I got made me think better of it! So, thanks so much! Because they inspired me to read over these last two chapters, and I realized that I was just being over dramatic! If I try really hard, I can actually write a decent mystery fic!
Anyway, on with the long awaited chapter!
Together Forever:
Chapter 3: Tell Me What You Know
Her captor smirked at her. "Piper, Piper, Piper . . ."
Piper glared at him. "What?"
"It's no use. I put a spell over the building so no one outside can hear you," he said, starting to chuckle evilly.
"I swear, when Leo find me, you're going to in such deep shit you won't know what to do," Piper said, tears coming to her eyes. 'But what if he doesn't find me? Damn it, Piper! Don't think like that! You know that Leo won't rest until I'm found! He won't just give up! Or would he . . ?'
O.O
"Pete, has anyone suspicious looking been here this morning?" Leo asked, sitting down at the bar.
Pete looked up at him. "No. Not really."
"Has anyone missed their shifts this morning?" Leo asked hopefully, wanting to get some answers quickly.
"No. No one," Pete said, walking over to the other side of the bar.
Leo followed him and sighed. "Pete, someone took Piper. And I don't know who it was. But I found this a few alleys away," Leo said, handing Pete the piece of shirt.
Pete looked at Leo closely, then his eyes went wide. "Oh my god. You're not joking. I thought you were just doing some of Piper's work for her."
"Do you guys have security cameras around here?" Leo asked, taking the piece of shirt back.
"Yeah. In the back. I'll show you," Pete said, walking towards the back room as Leo followed. He started one of the tapes and sat back as him and Leo watched.
O.O Tape O.O
Piper sat at the bar, her head in her hands. She looked up at Pete. "Pete, I'll be back in a bit. I - I need to go for a walk."
Pete looked up at her, concerned. "Piper, is everything okay?"
Piper put on a fake smile. "Yeah. Everything's great. I just need some fresh air."
"Piper . . ."
Piper sighed. "Okay, no. Everything's not okay. Leo and I had a small argument this morning. But, it's nothing to worry about. I'll go home this afternoon and we'll both act like nothing happened. We were just tired. So we were grumpy."
"Right . . ." Pete said, not believing her.
"Well, he just got a little mad that I wouldn't sleep in. I'm not the type of person that sleeps in! But, I get where he's coming from." She smiled. "I mean, when I wake up, I enjoy seeing him sleeping there next to me. I mean, it brightens my mood! And," she stopped talking for a minute, thinking back. "And it just makes me so happy for the rest of the day. Because Leo just looks so peaceful when he's sleeping." She looked down, her hair falling in front of her face, but you could tell that she was smiling as sweet as she always had when she thought about Leo. "He looks like the angel he is. And I know, in his sleep, he's not worrying about de - all the evil in the world." She looked back up, staring past Pete at the wall behind him, starting to day dream a bit. "And, it also reminds me of the time he told me that when he's asleep, he can't think about all that, because he's too busy dreaming about me," Piper said, getting teary eyed.
Pete smiled. "That's great, Piper."
Piper nodded and looked over at Pete. "Well, uh, I'm gonna go for my walk now."
Pete nodded. "I'll take care of everything here."
Piper smiled a bit. "Thanks. I won't be long," she said, getting out of her seat and walking up the stairs and out the door.
A man than peeked through a door from the back room. He stepped out, straightening out his shirt. When Pete had walked into the bathroom, he quickly headed for the stairs, following Piper.
O.O End Tape O.O
Leo had tears in his eyes from listening to Piper.
Pete looked over at him after stopping the tape. "You are one lucky guy, Leo."
"I have to find her," Leo whispered. He looked at Pete. "Do you have any idea who that man is?"
Pete shook his head. "No, Leo. I'm really sorry. But I don't."
Leo sighed, grabbing the tape and ran out the door, quickly getting in Phoebe's car and driving over to the police station.
Daryl walked over to him quickly and took the tape. "What's this?"
"It has the man that took Piper on it. It's not the first guy, Pete, but the second guy who follows her out of the building," Leo said, covering his face with his hands for a second.
"We'll find her, Leo. I promise that we'll find her," Daryl said, patting Leo on the shoulder. "Should we call Paige and Phoebe?"
"We can't. They didn't give us the number for the hotel that they're staying at. And if mine and Piper's powers aren't working, I doubt that theirs are," Leo said, sighing and sitting down.
He looked at his watch. It was already three in the afternoon. 'I didn't realize it was so late already. The time's sure passed me by. I have to get something to eat. I'm starving. I haven't eaten anything yet today. No. Not yet. I'll eat when I've gotten closer to finding Piper.'
O.O
The man walked up to Piper. "Have you had enough, witch? Because I could easily put you out of your misery," he said, smiling a disgusting, toothy grin with yellow, silver, and rotting teeth and motioning to a gun in the corner nearest to Piper. "It would be my pleasure."
"Stay away from me," Piper warned, kicking at him.
"You know, I can tie your ankles up, too. So, please, don't force me to take such actions," the man said, stroking her cheek with his smelly and extremely dirty hand.
"Screw you!" Piper yelled, kicking him in the balls. Then, as he fell to the floor, she kicked him in the face, knocking him unconscious. 'Okay, Piper, this is your chance. Don't screw this up. You can still cast spells, even if you don't have your powers.'
The man stirred a bit.
"Um . . . Damn it. I'm not the spell writer, I'm the potion maker! Phoebe's the spell writer!" Piper whispered, trying to think quickly. (An: Wow. It's taking me forever to think up something. Damn it. Um, okay, I'm warning you right now. Whatever I spell I come up with is going to suck soooo bad. So just go with it. Okay?) "I'm trapped inside this warehouse, I'm going insane because of a noisy clock, and this man's going to kill me, so chains: please unlock!" (An: Damn. That did suck. Oh well. It worked, didn't it?)
Piper then fell to the ground as the chains unlocked, almost falling on the man. She got up quickly and ran over to the door, trying to open it, but finding that it was locked.
The man quickly grabbed her around the waist. "I guess I'm going to have to take away you're power to cast spells, now aren't I?" he asked, placing a knife to her back. "Now, be a good little girl and I won't be forced to hurt you."
"You mean, anymore than you already have?" Piper asked as the man quickly chained her back up.
"Precisely," the man said, once again grinning at her, forcing Piper to look away.
O.O
"I've got a match," Daryl said, scrolling down the screen.
Leo looked at the picture closely. "No. No way." He looked around and then leaned closer to Daryl. "This guy's a warlock. And his brother is a demon," he whispered, hoping to god that Piper was okay.
O.O.O.O.O
Okay, I'm on a roll! I'm going to start on the next chapter right now! Review, please! They're what keeps me going! Ciao!
