Chapter 1.

A Plain Ordinary Day Become Extraordinary

Paige Matthews was walking toward the Halliwell Manor from her High School after a long normal boring school day. Thank god its weekend, Paige thought pretty happy. The first thing she wanted to do when she got home was to throw her schoolbag in a corner and forget it until the next boring week. While she walked and dreamed of a chill weekend when her cell phone started playing a lot of music, someone called her. Paige looked at the display; of course it was Prue Halliwell the oldest sister of the four of them and also the one who had the responsibility for them all in-law. Except for Piper Halliwell, which technically was old enough to live for herself and move out without anyone could stop her, but Piper chose to stay at the Manor helping Prue.

"Hi Prue." Paige said into the phone.

"Hey sweetie, could you stop by the store and pick up some milk? We're all out of it. Piper is home already and she need it for her cooking. Phoebe, well you know Phoebe." Prue answered and Paige did know Phoebe Halliwell, she could never be trusted with small things like that, she was quite a rebel.

"Sure, if I got enough money. See you at home." Paige answered and went straight for the store.

"Thanks sweetie, bye." Prue said and hung up.

"No problem." Paige mumbled as she put her phone back in her pocket and opened the store door. She went straight for the milk got out two liter from the cooling cabinet it was in. Right behind her Paige saw a creepy man with tattoos on his right face and his eyes looked black. Paige felt she had seen him before somewhere, but she couldn't place him. She decided to ignore it; it was probably nothing and went for the checkout. The man followed with milk in his hands too. Paige began to freak a bit and thought; 'who the hell is he? What does he want? Why is he following me?', it was all silly, it was a hundred of people she saw every day in San Francisco, this was nothing. Paige paid for her milk as fast as she could and started walking to the Manor again. Soon she discovered the man again. Paige bit her lips and started running, she wasn't far from home now.

"Going somewhere?" the man appeared suddenly in front of Paige in a massive of black lights. Paige half screamed and tumbled backward. The man laughed and smiled nasty, his breath hit Paige and it did not smell good bad.

"What do you want with me?" Paige asked in a voice that was supposed to be big and confident, but it was for sure not.

"What I want? What every darklighter want of course, you dead." the man, who clearly was a darklighter, answered. Suddenly a crossbow appeared in black fog in the darklighters arms.

"I, I.. I.." was everything Paige could get out before the darklighter took aim and shoot. Paige screamed and covered her face before she suddenly disappeared in a lot of white and blue lights, the arrow went straight through air and Paige reappeared in the same white and blue lights. Paige looked confused at the darklighter who looked stunned. She did not waste any time, she spun around and ran straight to the Manor, and soon she saw it. Paige ran up to the door, got inside and locked the door behind her.

"Prue! Piper?" Paige yelled and ran into the kitchen where Piper stood cooking. She looked up confused just as Prue came running in.

"What is it?" Prue asked, she could easy see Paige's fear in her eyes.

"A man from the store, arrow, dark, crossbow..!" Paige started to babble scared, "he tried to.. With black..!" she said and pointed at the window and door. She started to walk to the window to see if he was still after her, but Prue stopped her and looked worried at Paige's scared face.

"Paige! Calm down and tell us what's wrong." Prue said and grabbed Paige's hands who still pointed everywhere. Piper stopped cooking and joined them on the living room couch.

"It was this man who followed me, and he tried to kill me." Paige started as she sat down and half clung to her oldest sister.

"Someone tried to kill you?" Piper said stunned and sounded pretty angry too. "Why would someone do that? Did you know the guy?" she asked. Paige shook her head.

"No, but he said that every darklighter and demon wanted me dead. He just appeared from nowhere in a lot of black light's and then he tried to shoot me with a crossbow that also just showed up!" Paige said and tears started to fill her eyes.

"Darklighter? Demon?" Piper asked and exchanged a glanced with Prue.

"If he aimed for you, how did you get away?" Prue asked as if she hadn't heard a word of demons or darklighters or the fact that Paige said he appeared from nowhere.

"I.. I suddenly disappeared. I was so scared, and then suddenly I was back and he looked so stunned, I was so surprised and scared, so I just ran straight here." Paige cried. "What if he's coming after me?" she said in a high scared voice and hid herself in Prue's chest.

"Shh.." Prue said and stroking Paige over her hair. "There is nobody here, nobody is after you sweetie, calm down." she said in a soft calming voice. "Piper could you call Phoebe and get her home? Tell her what happened. Piper nodded, she was confused. Piper could also tell that Prue was, she could see it in her eyes, but she left the room quiet to call Phoebe.

It took Paige almost two hours to calm down and stop crying. She feelt exhausted and really tired, but she didn't want to act like a little kid either so she sat up and looked at Prue who smiled warm to her. Piper's head showed up in the door from the dining room.

"Dinner is ready," Piper said and saw that Paige had stopped crying, "you want something to eat Paige?" she asked with a smile. Paige just nodded with a thin smile and took a deep breath. She didn't feel hungry, but her body did need in fact energy. Together Prue and Paige went into the dining room and sat down right when Phoebe came in.

"Oh, Paige, hunny, are you okay?" Phoebe asked and gave Paige a quick hug who just nodded as answer.

"Okay, here we go my special lasagna." Piper said and put it down on the table as she sat down and they all began to eat Piper's fantastic meal.

"You think what she said was true? About the darklighter and demons?" Phoebe asked later after Prue had managed to get Paige to sleep. All the three older sister's were sitting in the conservatory and talking about what had happened to their baby sister.

"No, it can't have been. I mean, Demons? Darklighters? Appearing from thin air like magic? Magic isn't real. She must have imagined it all from her fear," Prue replayed, "but she seemed to look very convinced, I just hope she doesn't go any further with it. The imagination stuff I mean."

"Yeah, but on the other hand we also have to catch this guy, because if he comes after her again, she might not be as lucky as she was today." Piper said looking out the window.

"Okay, well, let's just keep an eye on her then. its weekend so she doesn't have to go to school, that is one good thing at least." Phoebe added.

"He might try go after one of us to, which means, Pheebs, stay out of trouble." Piper said a little ironic.

"Right, let's see if she can describe the guy tomorrow and then I'll call Andy and he will probably start looking. He is after all a police inspector, he can probably help." Prue said "Let's call it a night and talk about it tomorrow, see how it goes."

Alice Canell was waiting for an Elder to appear; she had to talk to them about her charge. She walked restless back and forward while other whitelighters just like her walked by in silence. Not much later an Elder showed up, her name was Maria a wise Elder with the power to look in the future.

"Maria." Alice said and made a quick bow in respect to the Elder.

"Alice, nice to see you again." the Elder answered. "What bring you up here?"

"It's about my charge, Paige Matthews."

"I know, she's your only charge at the moment you know."

"Only because you say that she is so important that she don't get harmed so I can't have any other charges to worry about." Alice reminded her, "I'll be glad to take more charges at a time you know."

"No, Alice, this charge is very special and she must be watched all the time." Maria said calm.

"But," Alice started before she got cut off by someone else.

"Didn't you hear? She's important, if you don't want to watch over her, I will." a harsh voice said, the voice of Sam Wilder.

"Peace Sam." Maria said, "You know you can't watch over her because she is you daughter and she cannot know that. You already have made the mistake of being with a witch, and even had a daughter with her, she's going to be very powerful."

"I don't care, if Alice won't watch full time, give Paige a new whitelighter, one that cares."

"I care!" Alice said sharply, "In fact she tapped into her whitelighter powers for the first time today."

"We can't give her a new whitelighter, she has to have one she knows, and she knows Alice as her teacher." Maria said to Sam before turning back to Alice "All darklighters and demons will be after Paige now. Alice, it's very important that you get closer to Paige, to protect her better." Maria said.

"I'm her teacher. That what she thinks, no student will be friends with a teacher at school." Alice pointed out.

"Well make it happen!" Sam growled, "She is your charge and my daughter, and you must protect her! If Paige dies.." he warned.

"Sam! This is not the time or place. Regardless, it's Alice's charge and you will stay out of it." Maria said and looked at the angry whitelighter.

"It is my child I can't stay.." Sam stopped, 'Sam!',a voice called, it was one of his charges. "This isn't over." he said before he orbed out to help his charge in danger.

"Now Alice, you have to try becoming friends with Paige, it's very important, but you can't let her know about magic, it's not the time yet." Maria said turning to Alice.

"A darklighter attacked her today, and she saw magic. I know her well enough to say that she won't let that go very easy. In fact if more demon's and darklighters come after her and use magic and demon power.." Alice said a bit worried.

"You have to try, and you must succeed, Paige's life might depend on it and all our future." the Elder said intense.

"If I don't make it, what will happen?" Alice asked.

"You'll see in time." Maria answered before she disappeared. Alice sighed before she orbed out herself and back down to earth to watch over her charge. It's time that I got closer to Paige, whatever it takes. The whitelighter thought as she appeared in her own apartment.

Paige's scream was loud enough to wake up Prue who was sleeping in the room next to Paige's.

"Paige, Paige, sweetie, wake up." Prue whispered while she tried to wake up and calm down her baby sister. "You're only having bad dreams."

"Darklighter!" Paige screamed as she suddenly woke up heavy breathed.

"There is no darklighter here, and there never will be." Prue said and sat down at Paige's bed while hugging her frightened sister.

"There will be! Darklighters and demons!" Paige said loudly while shaking.

"Paige, calm down. You will wake up Piper and Phoebe; there won't be any darklighter or demon. There are not such things, only dangerous killer humans. Calm down, I'll stay with you until you fall asleep again." Prue said calmly and pushed Paige back down in her bed. Paige bit her lip and closed her eyes. She was too exhausted to argue now. She held tight around Prue's hand until she fell asleep.
