PAIGE

For the last few weeks Paige had been feeling something...
weird. Weird and confusing, there was no other way to explain it.

Something inside her was... growing? Tensing...pulling? Doing something. Whatever it was it distracted her. Made her space out in the middle of conversations, forget what she was talking about. It made her snap at others with no reason.

And though she knew her sisters and Henry were worried about her, she had insisted she was just tired. It was even the truth as she hadn't been sleeping well. Which Henry knew as he often woke up to find her pacing the room or standing next to the window staring outside. When questioned about it, she shrugged. "I'm just stressed out." She had answered, deep down knowing that was not truly the reason, even if she didn't know what was causing it either.

It continued for a few more days, then suddenly changed. She finally slept, only to dream of an old mill and hard painful work that was not enough to feed her... and a cold father...

Still she didn't say anything to either her sisters or her husband. She couldn't explain why but it seemed important that she kept quiet...she could not trust them...

Perhaps that feeling should have been the first clue that magic was somehow involved... There was no reason to suddenly stop trusting her family, but she tried to ignore it. And as the days passed she withdrew more and more from her sisters and husband.

They were upset and kept trying reach out to her, but she felt detached from the situation. She didn't care about their feelings as she announced she was done with them.

Paige remembered glaring at Piper and Pheobe, looking at Henry with disgust. She felt hate for them in that moment, the desire to make them suffer, make them pay...she barely had a second to wonder what they had to pay for when it happened.

A sudden warmth spread through her chest and she gasped, placing her hand above her heart as if afraid it would burst from its cage.

"Paige!" She heard their voices call her, but she was too overwhelmed to answer. It was as if all the love that she could not feel for the last few days had returned at once, even stronger now than ever. And as she looked at her family again she smiled like she hadn't in a long time.

"I love you all so much..."

And then she was dying. The warmth was replaced by intense pain and she clutched at her chest before collapsing. She felt Henry holding her and her sisters calling her name, calling Leo's name...but their image faded and was replaced by one of the most beautiful things she had ever seen.

Her child...

"You would have been enough..." She said with a smile, right before a part of her died.
