Many lives I have lived
None of which I can remember
Show the Realities I have not seen
Make it known…Make it known to only me
That's all that Phoebe could make out from the blur of her vision…then she heard Piper screaming.
"Paige. Paige, Piper needs us."
"What? Piper? Leo can help her. Wait. That was Piper screaming?" At that realization Paige shot out from under the covers in horror. As the two girls raced to the living room they tripped and fell. They looked up from the floor in unison at a pacing and now silently hysterical Piper. Piper was red and sopping with tears, alternating between nibbling on the tip of her thumb and throwing her arms up.
"Don't you guys see them? There are bodies…there are dead bodies everywhere. There's Phoebe a couple of times over there. There I am…Get off of me. Get off--"
"Get off of you? Piper we're not on you. Now what is going on here lady?"
"Paige. Paige, wait, let's just see--"
Piper started toward the spot where she was saved and Prue was not. She bent down and brushed the air as if brushing hair from a loved one's forehead, "Oh, there's Prue. Prue, wake up. Leo! Leo!" Piper cried, her voice shaky, but determined.
Paige and Phoebe, lifted themselves off the floor using the invisible object to prop themselves up and then walked towards Piper as Phoebe called for Leo. She spun around to find Leo already sitting on the couch, hugging a pillow.
"She's been like this since 3 a.m. She was just pacing earlier and then started screaming and dodging the air. I don't know what happened. And she keeps talking about the dead bodies. She keeps seeing Prue and…." He trailed off once he caught Piper's furious eyes.
"You. You heal her right now dammit. You heal her now."
"Piper, there's nobody there. Prue's dead. She's gone." Leo tried his best to sound consoling, but at this point he was coming undone himself.
"Leo, go check with the Elders and see if they have any idea what your wife did," ordered Paige.
"Well, you and Phoebe keep an eye on her." Leo tried not to blubber, but his red eyes gave him away and fresh tears started to race from his eyes and rest on is shoulders.
"Just go and don't come back before we call you." Paige demanded this of him, knowing full well that the Elders wouldn't have a clue, but she needed him out of the picture for a while.
"But Paige, what if Leo finds something out right away? How are we going to know--"
"I already know and Leo can't be here for this. Just come with me to the attic and I'll--"
"But we can't leave Piper alone. What if she was dodging a demon earlier?"
"Based on what she's rambling about, I doubt it was demons. I'd say the sight of the dead bodies had her in hysterics earlier. Now, you need to come with me now. The answer's in the attic. Just tip toe gently because there could be more dead bodies and I--"
Before she could get her sentence out, Paige was thrown through the room by an invisible force onto the couch. She started shaking her head in bewilderment. A slight change came over her and she was obviously weakened by the blow, but Phoebe was making sure that Piper wasn't hit as well.
"What just happened? I was hit by something, yet it doesn't hurt and I feel like the force should have killed me."
"Well, if you're getting hit then Piper's walking in a deathtrap and she's too out of it to notice."
"Yeah, it might be demons. Maybe there's a demon."
"Paige, are you okay? I thought—"
"Well, I changed my mind. Let's go, we need to get to the basement."
"But we were on our way to the attic. You said the answer was in the attic. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Phoebe, I'm fine. Now, like I said, we need to get the spell book and then head to the basement." They head to the attic, but stop halfway when they hear Piper speaking in a conversational manner.
"What does she mean Prue's alive?" Paige's question came with a mocking tone and a forced quizzical expression. But Phoebe was too distracted by the notion that Prue might be alive to even notice.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Phoebe pushed past Paige with a desperate, but empty hope that Prue might really be alive. "Really? I need to see. Prue! Prue--"
"There's nothing to see. She's not there. Wait, what's--?" Paige put her hand on her heart as if mocking Phoebe's concerns of the event now unfolding right in front of their eyes.
"Piper! Piper! Paige, where'd she go? Where'd Piper go?!" Phoebe looked to Paige, desperate for any idea as to where their sister went. Only, when Phoebe turned around, it wasn't Paige she saw and it wasn't Paige she heard…
"Into the void?"
