Chapter 3 Kapu's Accident
Paige orbed down the stairs, carrying Piper's suitcases. She placed them in the hall, next to the big oak door, and walked out into the kitchen. Piper, Phoebe, and Jackie were all sitting at the table. Kapu, running his hand through his blue hair, was standing by the fridge.
"So I was thinking, we drop you at…"
Phoebe was saying as Paige walked in. Paige gave them a quick smile and sat next to Jackie.
"As I was saying, we drop you at the airport, we stop by Jackie's place, and go past the supermarket on the way home."
Paige nodded and looked over at Piper.
"But…"
Phoebe rolled her eyes. Typical Piper to have a problem.
"But who am I going with?"
She looked at Paige and then at Phoebe. Kapu had been waiting for this. He took his chance and blurted out.
"Paige doesn't know."
Paige scowled at him and Jackie, knowing Kapu, had figured he had been listening to them talk earlier. Paige was her friend, so she decided to get her out of trouble.
"Paige and I decided that Piper could go stay with my friend who lives in Christchurch."
She smiled at Kapu. Paige gave her a 'thank-you' look. She mouthed back an 'okay'. Kapu scowled at his sister, and turned to the door. As he walked to the open door, he passed Paige.
"Lucky break."
He whispered. She raised her eyebrows at his back. Piper flinched as the door slammed behind him.
"Okay. Where would I stay and who with?"
She asked.
"If you want, you can stay at my friends hotel. Her name is Kairi."
Piper considered this for a moment.
"She actually owns the hotel?"
She asked.
"Every square inch. She says that she would be happy to take some time off to hang with you."
Piper finally had a smile on her face.
"When do I leave?"
She
asked hopefully. At this, they all burst out in laughter.
"You can… leave… tomorrow… morning if you… like."
Paige said in-between fits of laughter.
"I'd better get a good sleep then. Night all."
"Night."
"Night."
"Bye guys. I'm going to crash to."
Jackie announced. A few seconds later, she orbed out. Paige, Phoebe, and Piper all hugged and went their own ways to bed.
Piper was so excited, she could hardly wait. She would finally get the holiday she wanted. Demon-free! Plus she could get out of San Francisco. First thing in the morning, she decided, she would talk to Jackie, just to make sure that her sisters would be okay without her. And with that thought in her mind, she drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
"Piper! Piper!"
A person yelled from a distance in her dream. She was lying on the ground with Paige standing over her. All of a sudden, she felt a jet of freezing cold water rush onto her face. It felt like she had just jumped into the lake on an icy, snowy, cold winter day. She bolted awake to see Paige and Phoebe standing next to her, Paige holding a bucket in her right hand.
"Why the hell did you do that?"
She looked as though she would smack anyone who came too close. Phoebe shuddered and moved back towards the door where Jackie was standing. Paige smiled stiffly.
"You'd miss your flight if you didn't hurry."
Piper sighed and sank back into her soft bed.
"I guess… thanks."
"That's okay. Now hurry before you really do miss your flight.
"Okay."
She jumped out of bed, and was in the middle of taking off her top, when Kapu stumbled/orbed in. She shrieked and shoved her shirt back down. In front of her, Kapu stumbled onto her bed. Beside Piper, Paige left out a soft scream. Piper looked directly at Kapu and saw his shirt, which was normally black, was blood stained all over and torn in odd places, like something had attacked him. As Piper studied him over, she saw his feet had no shoes and were blistered. His long black jeans were ripped off from the knees down. Even above the knees were ripped and torn. But mostly, covered in blood, fresh blood. His head was gashed and his midnight blue hair ripped in places and dirty. Even though they weren't close, Jackie rushed over to her brother.
Phoebe, who had been out of the room the whole time getting the airline ticket from downstairs, walked in to see blood on the floor, her sisters standing by the bed, Jackie sitting on the bed hovering over someone. She peered around Jackie to see Kapu passed out on Piper's bed. She dropped the ticket that she was holding in her right hand in surprise. She rushed over to get a better look. She stopped dead in her tracks by her sisters. She gasped and put her hand over her mouth. She looked at Jackie sympathetically. Jackie was holding her hands over Kapu's head, trying to heal his had wound.
"Can I… Should I… Do you want me to call an ambulance?"
Phoebe stuttered out. Seeing that Jackie was concentrating hard, Paige just shook her head for Jackie.
"It's wouldn't help. These wounds are magical, not the type of thing doctors can heal."
Phoebe nodded.
"But isn't there anything we can do to help?"
Paige thought for a second.
"Well, I guess we could send Jackie some of our energy to help heal Kapu."
"Yeah. And you could go over and use your healing power to help as well."
"Okay."
Paige went over and placed her hands over Kapu's head, along with Jackie's. Phoebe edged closer to Piper and joined hands. One of Paige's hands broke out of its healing trance and grasped Phoebe's.
