AN: I'm so proud, I got people to use capital lock when reviewing! I was
so happy I had to update! (Well that and the fact that I wanna know what
happens next too!) So thanks so much for the reviews and here's the next
chapter!
"Oh Piper! Thank God you are home safe! We didn't know what had happened to you!" Patricia said after Piper walked in. "We were afraid you had been kidnapped Piper, don't scare us like that!" Prue exclaimed as she and Patricia went and hugged Piper.
"I am sorry... I... I feel asleep." Piper said nervously. She didn't like lying to her mother and even though that wasn't exactly lying she still felt bad. "Piper Halliwell, you shouldn't fall asleep in those woods! Anyone could do anything to you! Next time I want you home with your sisters!" her grandmother Penny shouted. "Yes Grams, may I go to bed now?" Piper asked just wanting to get away.
"I think you've slept enough for a few hours. I want you to do the dishes and then you may sleep. Oh and eat something please Piper." Patricia said as she moved a strand of hair out of Piper's face. "Yes ma'am." Piper nodded as she went and began cleaning the dishes.
Of course her mind wasn't fully on the work. She was mainly thinking about Leo. He did seem sort of ignorant and very self-centered, how rude it was to say all of those things about her thinking about him and... But he was certainly a gentleman. He had given her his cloak as a blanket, kissed her hand, had not treated her as a peasant... And he was just joking about all those things...
"Thinking about Leonard?" Phoebe asked as she walked up to Piper. "No!" Piper defended herself. "Sure Piper, and I'm queen of England." Phoebe said sarcastically. "Hello your majesty." Piper said, also sarcastically, as she took a rag and dried her hands.
"Mother, dishes are done, what may I eat?" Piper asked Patricia. "We had stew for dinner and we saved you some. Warm it up in the fireplace dear. I am going to bed." Patricia said as she climbed the stone steps to her room.
"Aunt Patricia, may I sleep here tonight since it is so late?" Paige asked sweetly. "Of course dear, sleep in the girls room, good night." Patricia said as she continued climbing the stairs. After Piper ate the girls went to bed and slept.
Prue's dream.
"Prudence, a man came by to day bearing news! Andrew Trudeau has asked for your hand in marriage!" Penny exclaimed. "Do you accept?" Patricia asked. "Of course..." Prue said ecstatically. "Then let us make a dress!" Penny shouted and the most beautiful wedding dress appeared on Prue. Suddenly a man was standing before her, a priest, and then Andrew was next to her. "Do you Andrew Trudeau, take Prudence Halliwell to be your wife?" the priest asked. "I do." Andrew answered smiling at Prue. "And do you Prudence Halliwell, take Andrew Trudeau to be your husband?" he asked her. "Of course..." Prue said excitedly. "Then I pronounce you husband and wife!" the priest said.
As Prue lay asleep dreaming this, she smiled widely and rolled on her side with a content look on her face.
Piper's dream.
Piper was sitting on a rock by the lake, staring at the water. Leo comes up behind her and hugs her. "The place we met... 10 years ago today." He said gently. "Yes, I know, that's why I came her." Piper said quietly. "Piper... I need to tell you something." Leo said as he knelt down beside her. "What is it Leo?" she asked turning to face him. "You know I love you right?" he asked staring into her eyes. "Of course, Leo they're making you get married aren't they?" Piper asked sadly. "They cannot make me Piper, not if I am not at the wedding." Leo said as he stroked her hair. "What do you mean?" Piper asked confused. "I want to run away Piper, and I want you to come with me! We can certainly find someone to wed us!" Leo said as he stood up and looked at her hopefully. "Leo... I need to think about this..." Piper said slowly. "Do not think, listen to your heart." Leo said as he put his hand over her heart. She smiled and held his hand against her then they both leaned in and kissed, passionately.
As Piper lay asleep dreaming this, she smiled and gently touched her lips.
Phoebe's dream.
Prue is sitting on a rock with Andy next to her holding her. Piper is sitting on Leo's lap and resting her head on his shoulder. Paige is playing with a boy her age and then the rest of the boys surrounded Phoebe. "Phoebe! Please, I will do anything you wish if you will marry me!" one boy yelled. "No Phoebe, marry me!" another yelled. All the boys began arguing over Phoebe, who just laughs. "Now now boys..." she says grinning.
As Phoebe lay asleep dreaming this, she is grinning wickedly.
Paige's dream.
"Paige, the day is for you!" Prue yells smiling as she picks up a velvet cloth on the wall which reveals a door. Paige walks in and looks around wide-eyed. "Queen for a day Paige!" Piper said as she puts her on a giant gold throne. "Her is your crown your majesty!" Phoebe says as she puts a beautiful diamond tiara on her. "What would you like to do now your ma'am?" Leo asks. Paige laughs as she sees the rich Leonard Wyatt is a servant to her. "I wish for food!" Paige commands.
As Paige lay dreaming this, she smiles widely and begins talking in her sleep. "I want you to do this and you that." She mutters.
The next morning Prue woke up before the sun was even out. She always was a pretty early riser so that she could begin some of the morning chores.
She looked over at the other sleeping girls. They all had smiles plastered on their faces and she tried to guess each ones dream. "Piper is Leo, Phoebe is every boy, and Paige is ordering people around." She said laughing. She wondered if she had a smile like that on her face when she was dreaming of Andrew...
Prue got out of bed and went downstairs. She got a bucket and went outside. The sun was just starting to come up and the sky was a pink orange color. She went to the well and put the bucket down in it to pull up some water when something caught her eye.
It was a bright white horse and it had more behind it. "What's going on?" she said aloud as she got behind the well. The horses traveled past her and she caught sight of some of the men riding.
"Oh my..." she said slowly as she hurried to get back to the house. They were headed to Paige's house and she knew something must have happened. "Mother! Grams!" Prue yelled when she got inside.
"Prudence what is it?" Penny asked worried as she came downstairs. "The horses... they are, are... heading to Paige's house!" Prue said out of breath. Penny looked at Patricia who had followed her down.
"What's going on?" Piper asked as she and the girls came down. "No one is to leave the house, we all stay here and wait okay?" Penny commanded. Prue and Patricia nodded and looked deathly pale. "What's going on?" Phoebe asked Piper. Piper shrugged and looked at Prue who shook her head slowly.
It was the longest wait of their lives but finally there came a knock on the door. Everyone was afraid to open it but eventually Piper got up and went and got it. Leo was standing on the other side.
"P... Piper, please tell me that your cousin, Paige Matthews is here." Leo said slowly. "Yes she is, Leo what's going on?" Piper asked worried. "Oh thank God..." he muttered. "Leo, this whole situation isn't them looking for her is it?" Piper asked scared and hopeful at the same time.
"I wish, I really really wish. I do not want to do this Piper but you have to understand, I need to talk to your family." Leo said sadly. Piper let him in and came he walked into the room with her behind him.
"Have you brought us news boy?" Penny asked automatically. "Um... yes ma'am, I am very sorry but I do not think Phoebe and Paige should be here when I say this..." Leo said knowing how young they were.
"I'm only a year younger than Piper!" Phoebe defended herself. "Phoebe take Paige and go upstairs!" Patricia yelled. "But..." Phoebe started. "Phoebe go!" this time it was Piper. Phoebe looked angry but took Paige and went upstairs.
"Um... This morning a carriage was found in the woods with two bodies in it. The horses were found a few miles away so they think that the horses got lose and the carriage crashed. The two bodies belong to the Matthews." Leo said grimly. You could see plainly that everyone was shocked.
"Oh my God..." Prue said slowly. Piper buried her head in her hands and began crying. "So if Paige had been with them..." Patricia said slowly. Leo wiped his eyes and looked at Piper. This wasn't fair! This family never did anything wrong!
"I should go so that you can tell Phoebe and Paige. I really am sorry..." Leo said as he started to walk to the door. Piper quickly got up to show him out. "Piper, are you okay?" he asked sadly as they reached the door. "No but I will be eventually." She said as she wiped her eyes.
He wanted to hold her and tell her everything would be fine. Atleast hug her but before he knew it he had already walked out side. He got on his horse and rode away cursing however was in charge "Up There" for making her and her family hurt so badly.
"Oh Piper! Thank God you are home safe! We didn't know what had happened to you!" Patricia said after Piper walked in. "We were afraid you had been kidnapped Piper, don't scare us like that!" Prue exclaimed as she and Patricia went and hugged Piper.
