Part 9:'Just kidnap me and leave her with the toads!'
When Leo stuffed a heavy linen napkin in her mouth! "Mmph?" Piper II blurted in puzzlement as her amorous adventure turned into a kidnapping!
Leo after pulling her wrists behind her back and pinning them between his knees removed Piper II's scarf to tie the gag in
place and apologized: :"I am really sorry about this but my heart belongs to another and to help her I must have you, your sisters and your amulets!" Taking a rope out of his other pocket he began tying her hands and continued, "I just hope that removing the amulets will make it possible to reform you!"
"MMMMMMMMMMMPH!!" Really angered by this turn of events Piper II screamed for help.
Tossing her over his shoulder and walking back to the living room Leo commented, "You know if you had stopped your sister from turning all of your servants into toads, someone might actually be around to help you!"
Back at Halliwell Manor, Piper heard Cassandra start running her bath. 'Here goes nothing!' She thought and drawing her knees up to her chest threw her full weight sideways against the door. Thump! The door came open and Piper was out of the pantry! Looking around she tried to find some chance at freedom that would not be noisy and alert her captor. She decided her best chance was, 'The paring knife she used on her grapefruit in the middle of the kitchen table! It isn't physically possible for me to cut the ropes on my own elbows with that short a blade but if I can get the knife I will be able to free my wrists and ankles and possibly my knees. Then I can get out of the house and get someone else to finish the job! But how can I get there?'
Phoebe II snickered at her sister as Leo having already tied the bad little witch's elbows worked on her knees and ankles. Piper II glared back angrily but less so now that her warpstone amulet had been removed. Despite his actions Piper II found it hard to remain angry at this handsome stranger. She actually leaned over Leo as he tied her ankles and brushed his shoulders with her long dark hair and pressed her cheek against his neck! Phoebe II retaliated by leaning forward and pressing her breasts against Leo's back! Between this double whammy Leo started to sweat again and almost forgot what he was doing! 'Concentrate man! This is to get back to my Piper!' He thought as he finished tying her ankles and saw the sisters staring angrily at each other. "I can only imagine what you are thinking ladies but this is necessary!" He said unaware that Piper II was thinking, 'Just kidnap me and leave her with the toads!' Gathering his two captives the weary Leo wondered, 'As tired as I am can I take two with me as I orb? I need some other way, my powers seem to be ebbing on this world.' Just then as if someone had been watching through a crystal ball there was a knock on the door and a voice said, "Sir! the lady Cassandra sent me!" Leo opened the door and saw a coachman that looked like ...
Part 10:it was her only chance!
'Dan? Here? Am I never to rid of him??' Leo thought in surprise.
A weary Piper slid to the floor again and tried to catch her breath while she thought: 'I just can't quite get to my feet with my hands tied and mouth taped! I need to rest on the way up! Oh! Silly me! I have been pushing myself along the floor with my feet so if I put my back against this chair I should be able to push it against the wall!' As securely tied as she was it took Piper almost 10 minutes to move the chair into position. Three more attempts and 5 minutes after that she finally pushed herself far enough up the wall to get into the chair. panting and exhausted she had to rest for a few minutes before rocking her body forward she staggered to her feet. Eyeing the knife Piper reasoned, 'Trying to hop over there in these heels will be too noisy and might alert Cassandra, unfortunately without them I am too short to get on the table! So just take it slow.' With that Piper began shuffling her feet slowly forward, lurching first right then left. The ropes only allowed her to move a fraction of an inch each time but it was her only chance!
"The lady Cassandra was right! You caught the witches!" Daniel said and hiding behind Leo said, "Don't let them hurt me!"
Puzzled Leo looked at his captives. Piper II and Phoebe II both very securely tied at the wrists, elbows, torso, knees and ankles and heavily gagged, didn't look like much of a threat! Daniel continued to quiver in fear and elaborated, "I used to work for them. She, (points to Phoebe II) turned me into a mouse! And she(points to Piper II) put me in a maze and had one of her cats chase me!" Leo shocked looks at the sisters who just giggled!
Piper continued her efforts to escape thinking, 'Made it to the table, took over 10 minutes but check! Turned around, took 5 more minutes but check! Hop back onto the table!' Thump! 'Yay! Made it the first try! Now the knife!' But as she slid back towards the knife ...
Part 11:"I could kill you now,"
Cassandra said "Good little witches shouldn't play with knives!" As she grabbed Piper from behind and put the knife to her throat!
"You're sure they can't hurt me?" Daniel whined.
Feeling a headache coming on Leo replied, "Very few witches can do anything when bound and gagged. You are perfectly safe!" 'You wimp!' Leo thought in contempt.
"In that case," Daniel suggested, "Let us have our way with them! I will ravish the one who ensorcelled me,(points to Phoebe II) and you the other!"
Three reactions to this Leo's angry one, grabbing Daniel's shirt and saying, "Look maggot!" Phoebe II's contempt, 'You pathetic weakling even in bonds you could never handle me! ' And Piper II's excitement, 'YES! YES! NOW!'
"I could kill you now," Cassandra said, "but then I would only get your 1 power and I want more, so much more!" 'Whew! What is she talking about?' Piper sighed in relief as Cassandra tossed the knife away and pulled Piper to the middle of the table. "Nice try!" Cassandra complimented and continued, "I don't blame you for trying to escape but it is futile! I practiced taking and holding 3 prisoners on some coeds last month, you 3 are not going to escape me! Now just sit there for a minute while I run upstairs. You can't do anything in that time and if you don't try I won't slap you around for this little incident! Good thing I came down for some more orange juice!" As she left Piper thought, 'Just a few more minutes and I might have escaped! HEY! She is wearing my new bathrobe! Leo hasn't even seen me in it yet!' Cassandra returned in Piper's new hot pink and very short bathrobe and with another gym bag. Turning the sexy little chef over on her belly Cassandra then tied a rope to her ankle bonds and forcing Piper to bend her knees secured it to her wrist ropes.
"MMMPH!" Piper protested at this treatment as she realized,'She has me like one of those pigs with an apple in it's mouth you see in the medieval movies! And on my own kitchen table!'
Cassandra patted Piper on the head and said, "That should hold you until tonight. After this however I think I will go check on Phoebe!" She paused at the kitchen doorway and taunted, "Don't expect the Whitelighter to save you! I took care of him first!"
Piper's reaction was what you would expect, as she thought 'LEO NO!!' and screamed! "MMMMMMMMMPH!!"
Well pleased with herself Cassandra went to the door to the basement and turned the doorknob when...
Part 12:I am afraid things are about to get worse!'
Phoebe fell out! As her eyes adjusted to light once more Phoebe thought, 'After rolling around in the dark until I found the stairs and pushing myself up them butt first with my legs, I sure hope someone friendly opened the door!' Alas Phoebe's hopes were dashed as she heard Cassandra say, "How did you get up here?"
"MMph!" Phoebe grunted as Cassandra turned her over and sat on her!
"Wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, torso ropes all nice and tight!" Puzzled, Cassandra checked Phoebe's bonds and pinched her behind! "MMPH!" Phoebe yelped and Cassandra concluded, "Well you are a screamer but I doubt any spells will be coming with that gag! Now what did you hope to accomplish? Are you Halliwells related to Houdini by any chance?" 'No such luck!' Phoebe thought and continued, 'If I was I would have gotten that door open on my own and hopped outside for help! I amafraid things are about to get worse!' How right she was!
"I am so sorry sir! Please don't hit me!" Daniel whimpered to Leo.
Disgusted with the spineless weakling, Leo let go and demanded, "Why did Cassandra send you?"
Nervously Daniel answered, "Since she changed me back to a man instead of a mouse," At this Leo thought, 'Did she finish the job? Or were you a mouse in spirit all along?' "I have been her coachman. She said you would need me to drive you and the witches back to her cottage for the spell." Daniel finished his explanation. A few minutes later Leo apologized to his captives, "I am so sorry this coach is so small ladies." Piper II sitting in Leo's lap smirked at Phoebe II sitting across from them and thought,'That is just fine stranger!' And laid her her head on his shoulder as Phoebe II looked on in anger & envy! "But even though I had to kidnap you I promise I will be a gentleman and not take advantage of you!"
The witches didn't want to hear that! "MMph!" Phoebe II and "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!!" and especially Piper II were displeased with this! Misinterpreting her lust for fear Leo tried to reassure Piper II, "I promise not to ravish you, you can believe me!"
"MMPh!" Piper II continued to protest thinking, 'You kidnapped me so you have to ravish me! And repeatedly! If it isn't a rule then it should be!!' With that Piper II snuggled closer to Leo and tried to communicate her desires.
"Comfy now Phoebe?" Cassandra asked mockingly as she finished her task. Phoebe angrily stared at Cassandra and thought, 'Sure! I just love hanging around!' A few minutes earlier Cassandra had grabbed Phoebe's hair and started dragging her back down the stairs to the basement. Halfway there she had stopped, laughed evilly and left Phoebe there for a minute. Returning with another rope('How many does she have?' Phoebe thought) Cassandra tied it first around Phoebe's ankle ropes and then attached it to one of the supports attaching the stairs handrail to the wall! Poor Phoebe's feet were now in the air and she hung with her legs in the air and the rest of her body on the steps pointing down to the basement. "That ought to hold you but since I need some sleep before the big event tonight I would feel better if you and Piper joined Prue in a nap! I will be right back!" She entered the kitchen where Piper was softly crying for the missing and presumed dead Leo. She reached into a nearly empty gym bag and pulled out ...
