Chapter four...
T:T:T:T
Piper slowly felt herself regaining consciousness. Her head was pounding, and she felt incredibly nauseous and disoriented. She couldn't remember where she was, or why she was was there. She couldn't really remember anything that had happened in the past few hours.
Her senses slowly began working again. She tried to open her eyes, and found that she couldn't. Something was blocking her eyelids from opening so that she could see. She tried to reach up to remove whatever it was, but she found that her hands wouldn't move from behind her back. In fact, she could barely move them back there either. Her wrists seemed to be bound tightly behind her back. She tried to move her legs, and found that her ankles were bound as well. Her right one hurt like hell. 'What the hell is going on?' she thought, beginning to get a little scared. She was bound, and blindfolded. Oh, wait, she was gagged too. She had tried to talk, but something was keeping her mouth shut, and stopping her from speaking out.
Suddenly, all the memories came flooding back. She knew how she had got there, but she still didn't know where or why she was. She remembered that she had been taking while riding Chupi in the forest at Ryder's Horse Ranch.
After the man had put a gun to her back, he had instructed her to stop the horse. She had, and he had told her that he was going to take the gun away from her back for a moment. She had nodded, and when he did, she had hit both sides of her horse. Chupi had galloped off, with Piper on her back. But, the man had caught up to her, and pushed her off of Chupi. The horse had kept going, heading in the direction of the stables. She hadn't been to hurt by the fall too much, and had scrambled up off of the ground. But, before she had another chance to run, the man had grabbed her from behind. He had her around, the waist, and his hand was over her mouth.
After a few moments of struggling in his hold, Piper had seen another man, dressed completely in black with a black ski mask on, leading Chupi back towards them. He had secured the horse, and then come over towards Piper. He had pulled out a thick, black cloth, and tied it around her eyes. She couldn't have opened her eyes, so it was the last thing that she saw. She had felt the man holding her push her onto her knees, and then bend her forwards so that her back was parallel to the ground. She had felt her hands pulled behind her back, and felt them be tightly bound with duct tape.
Just then, Piper had decided to make one last attempt at fighting. She had quickly reached one of her legs back and kicked one of the men in the groin. In retaliation, he had stomped on her ankle, which was flat on the ground. She had heard it snap, and an intense pain shot through her ankle. She screamed, and felt something go over her mouth and nose. It had immediately made her dizzy. "Night night, Ms. Bennett." one of the men had said, and then she quickly fell into unconsciousness.
The pain in her ankle was quickly becoming more and more painful until she had to scream because it hurt so much. It had been a medium-loudness scream, barely noticeable through her gag. But, she had heard a door open in response. Footsteps came towards her, and she began shaking. She had no idea what they would do to her.
T:T:T
Piper quickly felt a hand strike her across the face. The force of the impact had sent Piper falling to the ground, as she had been sitting up against a wall before. "Hey, don't hit her. We need her." a male voice said, and Piper felt herself being pulled back into a sitting position, with her legs laid out in front of her. "Why do we? All we need is the money, she doesn't have to be alive." another voice asked. It was male as well, but it was deeper, more gruff.
Piper began shaking at that comment. 'Oh God, they're going to kill me.' she thought. "Yes, we do. When the drop off happens, we need her as leverage so that we don't get caught. We need her as a distraction so that we can leave the state. That's why we blindfolded her, so that she couldn't identify us." the other man said. Piper relaxed a slight amount, but not much. She might not be killed, but there was no telling what the men would do to her in her defenseless state.
"Should we call her father now?" the man with the deeper voice asked. Piper decided to call the nicer one Bob, and the mean one Fred, just so that she could keep them straight in her head. "Yes. How much should we get?" Bob asked, and Piper could hear him picking something up. "He's a millionaire, right?" Fred asked. There was a short pause. "How about... 15 billion?" he asked. "Yeah. he's a trillionaire, so that shouldn't be a big problem. It better not be, at least. If he wants to see his daughter again."
T:T:T
"Here we are, standing in front of the famed Bennett Estate, home of trillionaire Victor Bennett. His fifteen-year-old daughter has been kidnapped, and is currently being held for ransom. The kidnapper's demands are currently unknown, but they are expected to call with their demands within the hour. The police are..."
The TV reported rambled on in the background of the large study of Bennett Estate. Victor Bennett was waiting anxiously by his phone, wanting his daughter's kidnappers to call. He wanted to get his whole thing over with, so that he could get his daughter back. She was HIS daughter, his ONLY daughter, in his mind, at least. He had chosen to have custody of her because she was the ONLY daughter that he ever truly loved. The other two were just little bitches in the making. Phoebe had been born when he and Pa- no, their mother, had been separated. Prue had always disliked her father, so Victor hadn't really liked her. Piper was really the only one of his 'daughters' that he considered his own flesh and blood.
Just then, the phone started ringing, knocking him out of his wondering thoughts. The police nodded their heads at him, and he picked up his phone.
"Hello?"
T:T:T:T
AN: I know, kinda short, but the phone call will be next time. Teehee! Just to let you know, this fic will mostly be in third person limited (which means it's kinda like how the Harry Potter books are made, with basically everything that Harry sees is the only stuff in the book. It'll be like that, only from Piper's perspective, not Harry Potter's. That would be kinda weird if it were, wouldn't it?), so a scene with no Piper will not happen often, only occasionally. Um... review, please please please!
