My Storybook Hero
A New Twist
Phoebe got into her car and drove to her father's house as fast as she could. This had gone on long enough she was going to do something about this.
Phoebe was driving so fast and sobbing so hard that her vision had started to become blurry and she swerved off the road. Phoebe hit her head. As she groggily put her hand to her forehead, she felt blood, but her vision was slowly becoming foggy.

Jason and Piper headed out to the estates. Jason raced down the street and abruptly halted in front of a very beautiful brick house. Jason and Piper got out of their car and quickly ran up to the door. However, the door was wide open.
"What the hell…." Piper started.
"Not hell…." Jason started, but he was already walking into the house.
Piper followed.
"They're not here," Jason called.
"Well that figures," Piper replied.
"It must have been urgent," Jason said coming out of another room.
"How do you?" Piper asked.
"There was a phone call because the phone wasn't hung up properly," Jason said.
"What are you? Mr. Monk or something?" Piper asked.
Jason chuckled. "I guess the next step is to go see Matt. We will confront…." Jason stopped as something caught his eye.
"What?" Piper looked to see as Jason walked over to a table where a small bottle was lying.
"What is that?" Piper asked.
"I thought she stopped taking these a long time ago," Jason was muttering to himself.
"Again? What is that?"
"These were pills that Phoebe was taking even before we got divorced. Matt often got involved in our marriage. There were so many problems and she was so stressed out. After she had a miscarriage, she was really let down. We had planned so much for the baby and she became so depressed. She started to hallucinate. She thought she was still having a baby. The doctor gave her these pills and she slowly got better. She didn't need them anymore, but she still took them every once in awhile. By the time she had quit the pills, Matt had gotten so involved that divorce was our only option." Jason closed his eyes and sighed. "I don't know why in hell she's taking them again."
"Jason, I am so sorry," Piper said.
"It's not your fault. There's only one thing left for us to do. We are going to bring Matt down!"
Jason and Piper got back to their and pursued their rescue mission.

Phoebe slowly came to. As her vision came back into focus, she realized that someone was tapping at her window. She let her window down a little.
"Are you alright? That cut on your forehead doesn't look too good," a man was saying.
"I'm fine," Phoebe said. She didn't like the way this man looked. She needed to get to her father now and straighten out this mess, but this man didn't look like he was going to let her go.
"Ok, but we should still get you checked out," the man said.
"No need. I need to get somewhere now!" Phoebe said.
For a moment there was silence. Then suddenly the man banged on the window with something hard. Glass shattered as the man reached in to grab Phoebe.
For some unexplainable reason, Phoebe had known this was going to happen and she suddenly put her pedal to the metal and roared out of there. The man pulled his hand out just in time and cursed.
Phoebe was already speeding away to continue with her mission.

Cole walked into Sam's study.
"YOU ARE ONE SICK BASTARD AND I AM NOT GOING TO BE YOUR PUPPET!" Cole yelled.
"Why, Cole? What a lovely surprise?" Matt smiled.
"You think you can play people's lives? You know what? I always knew you were jealous of my father and I know that you killed him. I know that you were always after all the wealth that my father earned and what is rightfully mine!" Cole said.
"Why, Cole—you have described me so well!" Matt said. His smile turned to anger.
"You wanted that wealth? You think you can enjoy it and live happily? You can never live happily with someone else's hard earned money! And I won't be your toy to get you that money!" Cole lashed out.
"Thankfully, I don't need you. But I do however have the pleasure of killing you and ending Benjamin Coleridge Turner's line!" Matt said as he pulled out his revolver.
"DADDY! NO!" Phoebe stumbled into the room, her head spinning and her cut bled even more. There were several more scratches and cuts from the shattered glass.
"What the hell happened to you? What are you doing here?" Matt yelled out.
"Daddy! This has gone far enough!" Phoebe stumbled. "I don't want any of his money. I just want this all to end. I want the man I love. I want Jason. Let Cole go back with his love and enjoy his own money. Daddy. Please. Why can't we be happy? Why you can't you let me with the man I love. Let me be married and have kids. You can be a grandfather and teach them cool things. I don't want to have to tell my kids what kind of person their grandfather was."
"SILENCE!" Matt shouted. "Have you taken you medicine? What the hell are you even saying? Even if you don't want the money, I do. It's what I have been planning for all this time. How can you say such things about our hopes?"
"She doesn't need her medicine," Jason said as he stepped in.
"They were never her hopes. They were yours. And what she's saying is from her heart," Piper stepped in right behind him.
Sam looked speechless. Cole looked at Piper and she at him. Their eyes mirrored their love for each other.
"Oh Jason!" Phoebe stumbled again.
Jason caught her.
"I am so sorry," Phoebe sobbed into his arms.
"It's alright now. We can be together now," Jason smiled.
Phoebe smiled back at him.
Matt was suddenly aware at the revolver that was still resting in his hands. He took his aim carefully. The four lovers were still occupied. Matt knew his targets.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Cole looked around just in time.
Matt had already fired 2 shots.
Piper screamed as blood spattered on her hands, face and front side.
As Matt saw the scene in front of him—Piper looking puzzled as she saw the blood on herself and Cole running towards her. Jason and Phoebe were gasping for air. With 2 shots, 4 four people were sinking down to the ground. But who got shot? Matt couldn't decide as he released a 3rd shot on himself.
