Hey, so sorry haven't been around in a while, for everyone reading my other story : I´m working on it and trying to come up with new chapters as soon as I can. Well anyways here is a new story and I will try to update soon. Thanks for reading and I´m hoping for some reviews. xoxo
Piper was mad. She was mad at the world,the elders, her big sister for leaving her, just mad at everyone. Its been almost a year and she still couldn't get the hate out of her heart. Everyday was a struggle. It hurt her so much, sometimes she wondered if it had always been like this, because she couldn't remember the last time she had not felt the way she felt. So much has changed. Her big sister was gone and now she was the oldest one, the one who is supposed to keep it together, be strong and be the shoulder to lean on. To both her younger sisters. Yeah, both. There are two now. Phoebe and Paige.
Paige.
The girl she tried so hard to avoid, tried so hard not to let in. She wanted nothing to to with that girl, she didn't want her in her life. But she noticed that by trying so hard to avoid her, the more she wanted to get to know her. She wanted to chat with her, hug her and joke around with her, like sisters are supposed to. But it wasn't that easy. She couldn't just let someone into her heart. It felt like an invitation for more pain. She couldn't get herself to love that girl. Or did she?
"That girl", Piper said to herself. Is that really all she is to me? No. I mean we share the same blood. True, but just blood doesn't mean love. Wait love ? Do I love her ? No, I barely know her. But just because I never really gave her a chance to let me love her.
Piper had an inner conflict that was going on for a couple of month now. She remembered seeing Paige for the first time, saving her and then almost killing her as a Fury and then Paige saving her from herself. Also calling her a sister for the first, and since then, last wanted to know her, wanted to be the big sister she knew she can be, but it hurt to much and in her mind, it was already over the point of no return.
"Good Morning", Paiges soft voice ripped Piper out of her thoughts she looked at her a little confused and answered with a half hearted "Morning".
Paige always felt a little uncomfortable around Piper. It was different with Phoebe she had accepted her right from the start. But Piper, no that was a whole different thing. She was sure that she hated her. She didn't know why or what she had done to deserve this, but she wouldn't stop trying to get her oldest living sisters acceptance, no matter how much it hurt to be rejected over and over again.
"So, what are your plans for today?", Paige asked a little bit shy as she poured herself some Coffee. "Hmm...don't Know yet", Pipers reply came out harsher than she meant it to sound. 'Daam why can't I just be nice and start a conversation?' She thought to herself.
Paige just nodded, disappointed at the short answer. Those were the last words spoken between the two sisters for the next ten minutes until Phoebe walked in.
"Morning guys.", she greed her two sisters.
"Morning Pheebs.", Piper answered while handing her a mug of coffee, just how her sister liked it.
Soon they were in deep conversation about there daily plans and so on. Paige was left out, as always. She walked out the door with a hurt expression on her face. Piper saw that and thought about going after her for a split second, but then choose not to and went back to talking to Phoebe. Soon Phoebe left for work and Piper did the dishes, both thinking Paige already left for work.
Paige though, was up in the attic, it was her day off today and she choose to study the Book of Shadows for a little bit. She thought that maybe by being a good witch she could show Piper that she was worth her time. She found a List of Demons Piper had written down. Paige choose one of the names and looked him up in the BoS. She then got everything ready and was prepared for a fight. She was sure if she would show her sisters that she could kill a demon all on her own, they would finally and truly expect her. Especially Piper. Paige orbed into a dark cave where she was sure the demon was living. A potion was clinched in her hand. Although very scared she was determent to kill this demon. All of the sudden there was a crack behind her and as she turned around a big evil creature with red eyes was standing right behind her. She didn't even had time to scream as he backhanded her and sent her flying into a wall. She felt dizziness overcome her as she saw the demon growling and coming closer to her. He held an atheme in his hand. Paige got a hold of herself looking up at him in alarm. She grabbed the Potion and threw it with all her strength. The demon screamed in pain and exploded. Paige was happy for a split second but then felt a paralyzing pain going through her stomach as she looked down she saw that the demon had thrown the atheme at her and got her the last second. She was about to collapse but she knew she had to get back, if she blacked out now, it would be her sure death. She groaned in pain as she gathered all her strength and orbed to the manor, to her sisters, to safety.
Piper was in the kitchen backing some cookies, just to keep her busy. She didn't hear someone orbing in behind her as she was in her world of thoughts again.
"P...Piper ?",Paige stuttered "Paige, what is it..",Piper said, still standing with her back to her sister,"can't you see I'm busy?", she finished as she turned around.
The sight before her made her hand flew to her mouth in shock. Her little sister was standing there, her skin paler then it naturally was, blood running down the side of her head and an atheme sticking out of her stomach. Paige looked at her with a pleading look and shaking hands full of blood. Piper didn't move,she was to shocked and surprised. There was a slight moment of disappointment in Paiges eyes, before she collapsed to the floor. The sound of her baby sister hitting the floor shook Piper out of her trance like stage and she rushed over to Paige.
"LEO...Leo! Come down here right now!" she screamed but no blue orbs appeared.
Piper pulled the atheme out,witch made Paige scream in pain, and used a kitchen towel to put pressure on the wound. She pulled Paige closer to her and her head was now resting in her lap.
"Piper...H..hurts..",Paige Mumbled with her eyes half closed.
"It's alright...don't Worry you'll be fine, I promise."Piper said in a calming voice as she looked her sister in the eyes. She looked up to the ceiling and called her husband, but yet again no orbs appeared.
"Dammit!" she hissed under her breath. She looked at Paige again and in that very moment, it hit her. She could lose her. She could lose her newfound sister, without even properly knowing her or trying to get to know her. She regretted all the mean words and was mad again. But this time at herself. Mad that she treated her sister the way she did and mad that she was laying in front of her and she couldn't help. She then realized how much she came to love 'that girl' even though she desperately tried not to.
"Leo..Leo please!", Piper half begged half demanded.
She noticed her sisters eyes starting to close slowly. Piper grabbed Paiges face gently in her own hands so she had to look at her.
"Honey, listen to me..You have to stay awake a little longer, alright? You'll be fine I've got you OK. I won't let anything happen. Can you do that? Can you stay awake for your big sister?" Paige opened her eyes, willing to listen to Piper.
"I'm sorry..Pi..Piper. I'm so sorry." Paige whispered.
Her sisters apology almost broke Pipers heart. She didn't know what that innocent , hurt and vulnerable girl in front of her had to apologies for.
"No..No shh you have nothing to apologies for. It is my fault I should have been the one looking after you, accepting you and protecting you. All I did since you came here is hurting you and I'm so very sorry. But Ill make it up to you. Ill swear, Ill be a better sister...but You have to live for that." With that said Piper picked Paige of the floor and dragged her to her car.
She didn't know where she got the sudden strength from, but all she could think about was the pain that would kill her,if she would lose Paige. She mumbled "I'm not going trough this again" and "Leo" all the way to the car. Once there she put Paige in the passenger seat and sprinted around to the driver seat. She was at the hospital in record time. She froze traffic, red lights and ran some stop signs, but she didn't care. All she cared about was Paige, who was next to her going in and out of consciousness.
The wheels of the car squealed as Piper drove to the entrance of the emergency room.
"Heeelp! Somebody help! My sister is hurt!" She screamed as she dragged an half awake Paige out of the car.
Nurses rushed over with a stretcher, loaded Paige on it and rushed of with her. Piper ran close behind, holding her sisters hand. Doctors where shouting something and the nurses ran hectic back an forth. Piper blocked all the voices out of her head. Everything was quiet as she looked into her sisters sad and lonely eyes. Piper gave her a loving and warm smile.
"Paige..Paige listen to me. The Doctors will take good care of you. And you have to make it trough because I want you in my life, because I need you in my life. You're my baby sister and nothing comes over that. You hear me ? Nothing. I'm so sorry. I wish I could undo all the things I did." There were tears running down Pipers face she didn't even notice until then.
Paige was overwhelmed. She didn't quite now how to function but she was determent to bring out a couple more words. "Wanted..You.. Proud. No more h..Hate me. Please. Show you.. I tried..I always tried but..No good enough for.." Paige sentence was cut short as she coughed of blood and closed her eyes.
Piper looked at her shocked.
"Come on People lets get it moving ! We have to operate!" a Doctor shouted as they continued rushing Paige away.
Paiges hand was ripped away from her sisters as a Nurse stopped Piper.
"Sorry Miss, you can't go any further then this."
"But no..She was saying something...she I have to tell her I'm sorry and that I love her ! Oh God I never told her! She doesn't know! She thinks..I,.No..I have to protect her I promised!." Piper began to raise her voice.
"I know..I know its very difficult. Is there anyone I can call for you? "
„Yes, umm Phoebe. Phoebe Halliwell. Our other sister.", Piper said in a monotone voice.
The nurse nodded and went of to make the call she hated so much in her job. Piper leaned against the wall and slide down until she sat on the floor. She starred blankly ahead feeling completely numb.
15 minutes later.
"My sister..Where is she? You called me! Where is my sister ? Is she alright?" A very stressed out Phoebe rushed into the hospital now standing at the information desk.
"Miss, calm down I'll help you. What is your sisters Name?", the woman behind the counter said.
Phoebe was about to answer when she heard her name being called out behind her in a tiny voice. She spun around to see her oldest living sister sitting on the floor with bloodshot red eyes from crying.
"Oh Piper..!", Phoebe said as she hugged her, "Where is she ? What happened? Is she alright?"
"I..I don't know..There was an atheme in her stomach..She umm she Leo wouldn't come so I brought her..They took her to surgery. Blood. There was a lot of Blood. I just it's..What if she doesn't make it? She doesn't know. She just doesn't.", Pipers words were barley making sense and Tears were now going down Phoebes face. She wiped theme away and looked at Piper and then noticed all the Blood on her shirt and her hands.
"Oh God..Is that all hers?", Phoebe whispered.
Piper Looked down, really noticing the Blood for the first time as well. She nodded and started crying again.
"Phoebe she..Told me she tried to make me proud. Tried to make me stop hating her. She begged for it! I don't hate her Pheebs! I think she went demon hunting on her own to show me. How could she? Why wasn't I there to stop her, to teach her better ? She thinks I hate her.", Pipers voice broke at the last bit of her sentence.
Phoebe was shocked. She didn't know how to response so she just sat next to Piper on the floor holding her sisters hand. She prayed that her only little sister would make it and that everything would turn out fine. They both sat there in silence, neither of theme saying a word. They sat there both crying and leaning on the other. They sat and waited, and waited, and waited.
