A/n: Sry for the wait, everybody! I've had a lot of stuff going on right now and couldn't get working on my stories. I've also kinda had a w/b on this story, but now I have an idea, so all's good. Thanx too:

Charmedchick4eva: That is a good point, but basically she wanted someone to confide in and she figured it would be smart to be with Dan. The note down at the bottom should help.

12) :gasps: you stopped reading my story? How dare you! No, I'm jk.

13)Hm…I really don't want you to get hurt, so that might be a bad idea, cuz then u couldn't review my story! On the other hand, then I wouldn't have to write him in if u killed him, so be my guest!

OTHCharmedFreak: Maybe there is, hmm? Well, its kinda rape and it kinda isn't. He's going to force her to sleep with him. If u consider that rape, then yes, he's raping her.

Leopiperever-SV-GG: I really didn't expect to turn Dan into an "evil psychotic maniac". It kinda just happened.

Meenyrocks: yah, I changed the last chapter so she's scared of dan. If u want u can read it again. Thanx for the help!

NOTE: k, I think I need to explain the reasoning for Piper bailing Dan out of jail. She was deathly scared of Dan, but she needed someone to confide in and at least feel somewhat safe. So she decided to bail Dan out and just live with him. She's ignoring all of her feelings for Leo and just trusting that if Piper is with Dan that Dan won't hurt Leo.

The next morning Piper awoke with sweat trickling down her face. Her body was exploding with pain and soreness. She looked over at Dan and closed her eyes. Everything from the night before was still fresh in her mind.

The whole thing had been awful. Dan had first thrown Piper down onto the bed and taped her down. Then he had gone downstairs to get himself drunk. He came back with a small horsewhip. Piper could still feel the deep smell of the beer on his breath as he had hit her repeatedly.

Piper pulled herself out of Dan's tight grip and grabbed the sheet before limping out of the room. She moved slowly down the hall and into the bathroom. As Piper turned the water on the immediate cold sent a shiver down her spine.

Piper sat down on the covered toilet seat and set her elbows on her knees. She grimaced as pain flooded her body from the sudden position change. How could I think being with Dan was going to be the best solution to my problem? Piper questioned herself.

Dan is just in this for my sex, we both know that. Tears started sliding down Piper's cheeks. She regretted everything that had happened in the past 24 hours. Oh, God, what have I done? Piper pulled her hands over her eyes and started sobbing.

The heat from the shower started fogging up the window. Piper stood slowly and let the white bed sheet fall to the floor. Piper's eyes widened as she caught site of her body. Everywhere was either red or a mixture of black and blue. Cuts ran down Piper's legs and arms.

Again Piper closed her eyes to suppress the tears. She couldn't turn back now. Piper pulled back the shower curtain and started to get into the tub. She stopped when the hot water hit her leg and burned through her sores.

"Get in there you stupid bitch!" Dan grumbled as he opened the bathroom door. "Stop being a baby." Piper turned her head around. Dan stood in front of Piper, naked, with the whip clenched in his right hand. "Go, before I push you in."

Okay, Pipes, get a grip, Piper told herself. She closed her eyes and put her foot in the tub. She winced as the water ran down her leg. Piper's other foot was halfway into the tub when Dan raised the whip and struck Piper across the back.

Piper cried out as she lost her balance and fell hard onto the ceramic. Her face hit the edge of the tub and bruised the spot above her left eye. The water covered Piper's back and turned her body numb. Dan reached into the tub and turned the heat of the water up.

"I think it's time you stopped being so damn babyish," Dan explained. He climbed into the shower and pulled Piper to her feet. Dan's hand covered Piper's mouth and nose and he pushed Piper under the spout of water.

Piper squirmed and tried to breathe through Dan's hand but she was too weak. The now boiling water poured over Piper's cuts and bruises. Piper tried to scream but it was muffled. Dan smiled then started laughing.

"I thought for sure you would be smart enough to keep silent. I guess not," Dan raised the whip above Piper's head. Piper closed her eyes and tried shielding her face with her arms. As Dan started to bring down the whip the doorbell rang.

Dan lowered the whip and swore under his breath. He threw the whip down in the tub and released Piper's arm. "You better not move," Dan muttered as he pointed his finger at Piper. He stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist.

Piper heard Dan walk down the stairs and open the door. Piper slowly and painfully made her way out of the tub. She pulled a towel around her chest and peeked her eyes out the door. Dan had opened the door to a policewoman.

"Can I help you, sir?" Dan asked. "Oh, I'm sorry for bothering you, Mr. Gordon." The woman apologized. "We just thought you would want to know that a," she looked down at a piece of paper, "Leo Wyatt was arrested this morning for sexual harassment to your fiancée."

Piper gasped. The policewoman looked up and her eyes connected with Piper. Piper stepped away from the door but she knew Dan had seen her. "Again, I'm sorry for bothering anything private," The woman said. "Have a good day!"

Dan said goodbye and shut the door. He growled menacingly and stormed up the stairs. Piper threw down the towel and jumped back into the shower. Dan slammed the door. "Damn it, Piper! You could have gotten me in trouble!" Dan released the towel from his waist and stepped into the shower.

"I wasn't going to do this, but since you just disobeyed me, I have no choice." Dan pushed Piper against the wall and his breath was hot against her face. "Now I get you twice in one day," Dan kissed Piper roughly and his hands started roaming freely.

Please forgive me, Leo, Piper said to herself. She closed her eyes and willed herself to lose all consciousness as Dan started picking up speed.

A/n: Okay, this chapter just made the story pg-13. Plz review!
