You Save Me, I'll Save You
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters. Summary: Paige is killed while fighting a demon. Stuck somewhere between life and death she encounters Prue. Together the two of them have to find a way to get Paige back into her body and send Prue (who has been trapped in a similar place since her death) into the afterlife.
Chapter 1
Piper and Phoebe stood staring at Paige's lifeless body with tears streaming down their faces. They had arrived too late. Piper held on to Phoebe to keep from falling. This couldn't be happening. Not again. Losing Prue had been the lowest point for them. Losing another sister was just too much. Leo had tried to save Paige, but they had just been too late. Leo had orbed up to talk to the Elders a few moments earlier. Maybe they would know what should be done.
Finally releasing their emotions, Piper and Phoebe collapsed onto the floor and held onto Paige's body. They cried together, their hearts breaking once again. Piper looked up and cried out at the ceiling. "How can you do this?! You took our mother! You took Grams! You took Andy! You took Prue! And now you want Paige?! It's not fair!" Phoebe clung to her older sister, trying in vain to calm her down. "Piper, honey, it's going to be ok." Piper pushed Phoebe away. "No it's not Phoebe! No matter what we do, we keep losing the people we love! It's never going to be ok!" Piper stood and stomped out of the room. Phoebe stood to follow, but just then Leo orbed in.
Leo looked at Phoebe. "Where's Piper?" Phoebe sighed. "She went upstairs. She can't handle this Leo. It's too much for her." Phoebe's head dropped and she whispered. "It's too much for us." Leo reached out and touched Phoebe's arm. Phoebe collected herself. "What did the Elders say?" Leo started explaining. "Paige isn't completely lost yet. She's stuck between life and death. She doesn't know where she is or how to get back. We can't go to her. If she can find a way out before midnight, she can return to her body. If she can't, then she'll be gone forever." Phoebe stared at Leo. "That's just great."
Phoebe knocked on Piper's bedroom door. "Piper? It's Phoebe. Can I come in?" There was no response. Phoebe slowly pushed the door open. Piper was standing in front of the window staring out at the street. Phoebe walked over to her and put her arms around her. "Did Leo tell you everything?" Piper nodded. "We can't do anything but wait and hope that Paige can find her way back." Phoebe leaned her head on Piper's shoulder. "Maybe there is something else we can do." Piper pushed Phoebe back a little and looked into her eyes. "What are you thinking Pheebs?" Phoebe squeezed Piper's hand. "We're witches Piper. We are going to do what we do best. Cast a spell......or two." Piper shook her head. "It won't work Pheebs. I tried that when Prue died. I couldn't bring her back." Phoebe nodded. "I know. We aren't going to try to bring her back. But maybe we can find a spell that will help her find her way." Giving in to Phoebe's plan, Piper followed Phoebe to the attic. They started flipping through the Book of Shadows.
Meanwhile somewhere between life and death:
Paige was wandering through a garden. Actually it seemed more like a field filled with wildflowers and surrounded by tall cliffs. She couldn't remember how she had gotten there. It was so beautiful. She didn't really want to leave, but she knew she had to get home. She had to get back to her sisters.
Paige carefully searched the base of each cliff searching for an opening, but found none. It would be impossible to climb out. She had tried several times to orb out, but her powers didn't work. She tried calling for Leo. "Leo! Leo!" Leo didn't appear. Paige sat down and looked around. She was the only one there. Where was everyone? What was happening? She suddenly felt very tired. She tried to stay awake, so she could think of a way to get home. Within a few minutes, she was unable to continue fighting her fatigue. She lay down and closed her eyes. "Just for a few minutes." She mumbled to herself.
In the Halliwell Attic:
Phoebe was just finishing casting the spell. "....that she may find the way home." Piper looked at Phoebe with apprehension. "I don't think that is going to work." Phoebe shrugged. "Have a little faith. You never know what will happen." Piper answered wryly, "That's for sure." Phoebe looked at her sister and smiled. "Piper." Piper smiled back. "Well in this house, anything can happen." Phoebe shot back, "Yes it can....that's why we have to believe that Paige will come back to us."
Leo orbed into the attic. "That little spell you cast caught the attention of the Elders. They aren't too happy. Apparently that spell is working in a way no one could have foreseen." Piper stood up. "What does that mean exactly?" Leo smiled. "I can't tell you that. All I know is that Paige is no longer alone." Leo orbed out before he could be questioned further. Phoebe rolled her eyes. "I hate it when he does that."
Somewhere between life and death:
Paige could hear someone calling her name, but she was having trouble breaking through the veil of sleep. "Paige." It sounded like Piper at first. "Or maybe Phoebe." Paige thought. Finally succeeding in opening her eyes, Paige found herself staring into the icy blue eyes of Prue Halliwell.
"Paige?" Paige finally broke free of her exhaustion and sat up. Prue seated herself next to her. "You're....Prue....right?" Paige barely got the words out in her astonishment. Prue smiled at Paige. "Yes." Paige thought for a minute. "What's going on? Where are we?" Prue explained the best she could. "I think I've just about got this whole thing figured out. I've been here for a long time. I know I'm dead. But for some reason I became trapped in a place like this...." "A place like this?" Paige interupted. "Yes...", Prue continued, "...I was by myself there until a voice said that you needed me and I found myself here. But that doesn't matter now. I think I know a way we can get out of here."
Chapter two will be coming soon. (If I can find the time to write.) Let me know what you think.
