The task was done ever so quickly since magic had always helped out. She didn't know how she had lived without doing something sooner. Now that everything was over, she had to face her life in jail for 5 years or longer. It started when she got put into foster care at age 14. Her parents had died and since the family that had Prue and Phoebe didn't want all three of them, Piper was left to live a different life. Piper Halliwell was no longer a name she knew since her first family changed it to Alexandra, which got cut down to Alex. She got moved around a lot since most of the families decided that they really couldn't raise a teenager. The last family Alex had, she stayed with till she was 18. Everyday their was hell and there was no way to escape it. Her foster father, John Coleman, was always drunk and since Liz, her foster mother, was never home he took his anger and frustration out on her. John and Liz had a son, Ryan, who was 16 when Alex came into the family. He used to be asked by his father to help "mess" with Alex from time to time. She never understood why he had to join in on the sexual abuse that Jon always supplied to her. Ryan never told anyone that he had helped rape his foster sister since John told him to keep it hush-hush from everyone. When Alex was 16, Liz divorced John and left to go live with some guy she had been seeing. John had gotten so pissed that Alex had the worst night in her whole life. Ryan had to take her to the hospital from getting hurt so bad. The doctors had told her that she had a broken rib and a slight blow to the head, with major cuts and bruises covering her body. Ryan had promised to stop taking part in what his father was doing, which made Alex very grateful. Even though she knew the abuse would go to him as well if John knew that Ryan had helped her.

"Ryan, what if he knows, what if he comes back to the house and saw us not there?" Alex asked as Ryan helped her get back into her clothes. "I'll tell him I went looking for you, and found you here. Simply as that." He said as he sat down on the bed. "Oh! That's great, so I get it twice as bad as this now? NOT a good idea." "Hey! You got a better one?" "Well no, but just tell him you found me at a friends house or something." Alex said as she sat down next to him. "And which friends house would you be at huh?" Ryan asked as he draped an arm around Alex's shoulders. "I don't know, I guess at Megan's house." She said leaning into him. "He wont go for it, bit I'm willing to give it a shot." "So I guess we better get going right?" she asked as she pulled away from him and stood up. "Wait." He said as he jumped up off of the bed and walked over to her. "I promise you, I will try and protect you as much as I can from him." Ryan said as he pulled her into a hug. Alex smiled at him and nodded. They walked out of the hospital room, down the hall and out of the building.

Over the next year everyday was still getting worse since John had waited till Ryan was at work to hurt her, leaving Alex with no one to help her. Alex only had one more year till she could leave the hell house at 18 and move out with Ryan, who was now 19 and planned on waiting for her. Ryan and Alex had started a relationship together after that night at the hospital. They didn't tell anyone and didn't plan to until Alex had left the house. Alex never knew why, but when she wanted John to stop, he would sometimes be frozen, but just long enough for Alex to move away. Whenever Ryan came home, John always left for the night, not wanting to be around when Ryan found out what happened.

When Ryan came home one night, he expected to find Alex sitting in the livingroom watching t.v, instead the only thing he found was the sound of the running shower. When he walked into the bathroom, he found Alex bent down on her knees in the shower with blood coming down the side of her face. "Alex!" Ryan called as he ran towards the shower and opened the glass-door, and lent down in front of her. "Alex, baby look at me." Ryan said as he used his right hand to lift up her face as his left hand examined the deep cut on the side of her head. He reached up to turn off the water that was getting him wet, when Alex started to pass out. "No Alex, stay awake! Don't close your eyes." He said forgetting about the water and turned his attention straight to her. "Ry" Alex whispered before totally passing out. Ryan quickly got her out of the shower and brought her into the nearest room, which was his. He laid her on the bed as he looked around his room for extra clothes to change her into. He grabbed the phone as he passed it and dialed 911 quickly. "911 emergency, what is your emergency?" the lady over the phone said. "I came home and she was in the shower with a deep wound on the side of her head." Ryan said quickly as he grabbed a pair of shorts and a T-shirt to change her into. "Is she awake?" the lady asked as she hit the button for an ambulance to go to the house. "She was, but she just passed out, I couldn't keep her awake." Ryan said as he started to get her out of the wet clothes she was wearing. "Alright, an ambulance is on the way sir, try to get her to wake back up." She told him. "Ok, I hear the ambulance." Ryan said after a few moments of trying to wake up Alex. "Ok, go open the door for them and they will take care of everything else." She said and Ryan thanked her quickly and hung up as he ran to the door. After opening the door he went back into his room, trying to wake Alex up. "Sir, what room are you in?" one of the paramedics shouted. "Third room passed the livingroom." Ryan called back. Two seconds later 2 paramedics came in and went to Alex. "What's her name?" "Alex, I just found her in the shower with that cut when I came home from work." Ryan said as he backed off to let them work. "How old is she?" one of the men asked as they put her on the gurney. "17, is she going to be ok?" Ryan asked as he followed them outside. "She should be fine, but she needs to be checked out by a doctor. Do you want to ride along?" the first guy asked as they loaded her up. "Of course I do." Ryan said and climbed in as they started to drive to the hospital.
