"It's the purest element but it's so volatile An equation heaven sent, a drug for angels." Piper Cook | 23 | Witch & Bartender

"At some point I stopped pretending and I started caring.”

[theorphanwitch]

I don't think I've ever felt this bad.

[alphahybrid-klaus-deactivated20]

{Nods} The snooping is in regards to Delilah’s disappearance, I take it. You said he released you to send a message?

[theorphanwitch]

It was obviously to stay out of his way.

[theorphanwitch]

I don't think I've ever felt this bad.

[alphahybrid-klaus-deactivated20]

Tell me everything.

[theorphanwitch]

Well let's see I was walking home on Wednesday when I was taken, he used magic to lure me there. Then I blackout and was stuff in a cage, magic proof as he so taunted me. It was to dark for me to see anything other than his outline, and he didn't show up often except to mess with me. He said he took me because I was snooping. He couldn't have that apparently. I managed to pick the lock before sneaking out, he grabbed me and stabbed me in the side. I was in the cage for another two days before he sent me off to Holden's.

[theorphanwitch]

I don't think I've ever felt this bad.

[alphahybrid-klaus-deactivated20]

As you should be.

Kidnapped?

[theorphanwitch]

Yes, I am assuming by the same person who took Delilah. He left me at Holden's as a message.

[theorphanwitch]

I don't think I've ever felt this bad.

[alphahybrid-klaus-deactivated20]

And what’s ailing everyone’s favorite little witch today?

[theorphanwitch]

Favorite witch? I'm flattered.

Let's see. Kidnapped, trapped in a magic proof cage for five days and stabbed in the side which the wound they became infected.

[theorphanwitch]

I don't think I've ever felt this bad.

[theorphanwitch]

...

[wanderingjamie25]

Voodoo? No that can’t be. I’ve been to see them and they’ve told me that no one’s practicing at the moment.

[theorphanwitch]

I don't think he is exactly alined with anyone else, it might be expression. I just know it was dark. And since when have witches not been sneaky and lied to each other?

[theorphanwitch]

...

[wanderingjamie25]

No I’m not. A good friend would’ve found you before anything bad happened.

[theorphanwitch]

Don't kick yourself, the guy was an evil voodoo witch. He kept me in a cage that was magic proof. He was a bit of a dick too.

[theorphanwitch]

...

[wanderingjamie25]

I will get you a ton of cheeseburgers and lots of fries.

[theorphanwitch]

You're a good friend.

[theorphanwitch]

...

[wanderingjamie25]

I can try healing that with magic if you want. *helps her out to her car*

[theorphanwitch]

[nods slowly] And then can we get me a cheese burger?

[theorphanwitch]

...

[wanderingjamie25]

Don’t say that, it will be I promise. I will make it so everything is OK.

Yes, you can have anything you want.

[theorphanwitch]

Let's just go, you might need to call Delilah, her blood can heal me. [lifts up her shirt to show Jamie the infected wound]

[theorphanwitch]

...

[wanderingjamie25]

Hey…….shhhhhh, everything’s gonna be OK. I’m not gonna let you again.

[theorphanwitch]

Nothing is going to be okay, it's never going to be okay. 

Can I just get a cheeseburger, and fries, and another cheeseburger?

[theorphanwitch]

...

[wanderingjamie25]

Alright……come with me. I’m taking you back to my apartment. We’ll get you cleaned up OK?

[theorphanwitch]

Okay...

[theorphanwitch]

...

[wanderingjamie25]

Where have you been? Are you alright?

[theorphanwitch]

I don't know honestly, but I know I'm not okay. My wound is infected and I'm hot and dirty and hungry.

[theorphanwitch]

...

[wanderingjamie25]

Piper!!

[theorphanwitch]

Hey there...Jamie...

[theorphanwitch]

[theorphanwitch]

Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? | Self Para

She didn't know how long she had been there; it was to dark to keep track of the days. All she did know was that her magic wasn't working, and that she was starving. It was rare in Piper’s life that she felt true fear, but sitting amongst the dirt and grime of the small cell she was in, she felt it coursing through her veins. It caused her blood to pump through her ears, and for her breath to hitch. She would have given anything for her storybook knight in shining armor at the moment.

Piper grunted slightly as she pulled herself up, feeling blood drip down her side. Her fingers immediately went to the wound, while it wasn’t deep, it had gotten infected. Piper let herself cry, the tears trailing down her cheeks as she leaned against the wall. Where were they? Delilah, Jamie, the two people she trusted more than anything. Had they forgotten about her like everyone else did in her life? She felt more helpless than she had in a long time, and as the darkness settled around her she did nothing to stop it. 

The sun made Piper squint her eyes as she slowly sat up, recognizing her surroundings as the bar. How had she gotten there? When did she get her? Her whole body felt like it was on fire and it hurt to even move but she managed to stand up and get to the phone, calling the two people who she hoped would come to help her.
