The Past Can Always Haunt You
a/n: I kinda left the last chapter hanging with Piper being kidnapped and drugged with something. Here is the next Chapter. The word for this chapter is Animals, like the song by Maroon 5. Enjoy! :)
Chapter 5
Leo picked up the phone as it rung. "Hello. What do you mean he's still at the school. My wife was supposed to pick Benji up today. I will be at the school in about twenty minutes. Thank you for calling me bye." Putting the phone back, Leo checked his scanner for Piper. Nothing. 'I wonder where she got to?' He thought.
About twenty minutes later he orbed to the school. "Ben, good job going back into the school. I am proud of you for doing the right thing. Now let's go home." Leo said when he collected Benji from the school.
"Thank you for coming on such short notice." One of the office staff told him. Wanting to inform Paige and Phoebe that Piper had went missing, Leo decided that it was time to go home. When he got Ben outside Leo took him to a secluded place to orb home.
"Hey Leo" Paige said as they materialised in the living room. "Hey Benji. You haven't seen Piper have you."
"No and I can't sense her either, I think that something bad has happened." Leo turned to Ben and told him to do his homework in his bedroom. "I think that Piper might have been kidnapped. ANd given her history it doesn't look good." Leo told her.
"Okay you call Phoebe and I will start scrying for Piper." Paige suggested. Nodding Leo picked the phone up.
While everybody at the manor was starting to get worried Piper woke up. Still feeling the effects from the drugs Piper attempted to stand. It took her about a minute to do so, her head was killing her and her mind had went foggy. "What do you want with me, how did I get here?" Piper yelled, but it sounded more panicked than she intended it to be. "Who are you." Piper's eyes started to dart around the room she was in. It looked like a basement. It was a basement, there was light, just not enough to tell her where the door was. High and with a sore head Piper started to hallucinate. It felt like the first time she had been high. That rush that buzz, it was back after so long without it. "No you have just been kidnapped, snap out of it." She yelled at herself as she realised that her whole life had just taken a turn for the worse.
Back at the Manor Phoebe was home and was pacing the conservatory in a vague attempt to get a handle on the situation. "How could this have happened. What did Piper do to anyone to get her in this mess."
"You mean other than put a man that will supply anyone in San Francisco in prison?" Leo asked rhetorically. Paige was still putting the crystal over the map in the hope that Piper was still alive. To her luck the crystal fell over a residential area not to far from where they were. "Hey guys I think I got something." Paige called. Phoebe looked at the map.
"That's not far from here. Leo watch Ben while we go and get her back." Phoebe said then went to get her coat. Paige followed her and together they went to Phoebe's car and sped off.
When they got to the house where Piper was trapped in. Paige and Phoebe looked at one another. "This can't be right, this looks like a normal house. Why would someone take her here?" Phoebe asked.
"Piper made a lot of enemies when she got that drug dealer arrested. There could be any number of drug abusers that would want to hurt her." Paige answered. Phoebe gulped as she realised why her sister was there and that Piper was probably drugged.
Slowly the sisters creeped inside and looked around to try and find Piper. "Phoebe, you check this floor and I'll check upstairs. Try and see if you can get a premonition off of something." Paige said and began climbing the stairs. Phoebe went and checked the downstairs. Touching her hand against different items littered around the messy house. Making it to the basement door Phoebe went to open the door when she had a premonition.
Phoebe's Premonition
Piper was walking to her car. A hand went over her mouth and a needle went into her arm. The man who had drugged her hit her over the head with something. It changed, showing the door that Phoebe was standing in front of and it took her to inside view that showed a drugged and disoriented Piper unable to defend her self.
End Premonition
Snapping out of the premonition, Phoebe walked quietly to the stairs. When she found Paige, Phoebe whispered in her ear. "I know where Piper is, she's in the basement." Paige nodded.
"How do we do this, do we barge in through the door or use magic to get in?"
"We use the door so we don't get exposed." Phoebe answered. They went downstairs to the basement door. On the way down Paige asked Phoebe a question.
"How do you know that she is in the basement?"
"Premonition. Now shush."
The door burst open. A young man with a tired looking face and beady eyes looked up. Piper still had no idea what was real and what was not, so she just looked up at the sudden burst of light into the dark room. "Piper, are you okay honey?" Phoebe asked as she ran over to her. When Piper backed away Phoebe realised that there was a drug in her system. "Paige deal with her, while I deal with him." Phoebe went over and kicked the poor trapped man on the head. "That is kidnapping my sister." Phoebe went back over to Paige, sure that he was't going to wake up while they were still there.
"Come on honey, let us take you home." Paige said, being a social worker in training she had dealt with drug addictions before. "It's just us, your sisters." Paige softly told Piper. Finally trusting them Piper took her now shaking hand in Paige's.
After returning home Leo healed Piper's head, but they had to wait until the drug had made it's way through her system. When it finally had Piper realised what had happened. "I'm so sorry. It's done. It's over. I failed everyone. My son, Grams, Prue, Mom, Phoebe, Paige and you too Leo. I have disappointed everyone who has ever loved you." Piper leaned into him and cried into his chest.
"No don't you ever think that again. That was not your fault. It was the dirt bag that kidnapped you that did that to you." Piper just kept crying not even attempting to listen to him. "Honey, you would never do anything to compromise what you have. And you would never do anything that would endanger Ben. Look at me." Piper finally looked at her husband. Her eyes were teary and she looked defeated. "Honey you don't want to do any more of those things anywhere near you. You choose a different path. One that has lead to you being one of the most amazing people in the world, and one of the strongest." Finishing the speech Leo realised that he had given Piper the strength she needed to continue with her life.
Realising this for herself Piper stood up from her position on her their bed. "Your right Leo. I need to get a grip and stop being afraid of my past. I need to accept that I made mistakes back then. And I should have the courage to realise that I have strength to overcome what happened last night. And to realise that it wasn't my fault. I also need to go and apologise to my son for not picking him up." Leo smiled and watched as Piper left the room. Piper had only just shut the door when a familiar jingling sounded through his head. Sighing Leo, checked the clock and orbed away to find out what his bosses wanted at such a late hour.
a/n: As you can tell I finally figured out how to get those lines on the page. After over a year of using this website, this is an achievement that I cannot ignore. See you in the next chapter.
