The Past Life
Preface- Now the oldest, Piper tried to bring back Prue to no avail. While trying to call for Prue, she inadvertently called for another witch, who would have reconstituted The Charmed Ones. This witch was their long lost half sister, Paige. Together, the new Charmed Ones vanquished Shax for Prue.
Piper hated Phoebe for choosing Cole the day that Prue died. The youngest of the Halliwell's always seemed to choose Cole over her family.her legacy. At the time, it didn't seem to bother Phoebe. She took for granted that they'd always be there, when she needed them.
After everything happened, Paige moved in to the manor to be closer to her newly discovered family. Piper still had P3, which she'd focused all her time on, so she'd never have to deal with her sister Phoebe. Leo had barely been around, but did come by from time to time, because Piper chose not to reconstitute the Charmed Ones. Phoebe, on the other hand, had been so distraught over Prue's death. She locked herself in her room everyday, until Piper went to P3. Phoebe blames herself for the death of her sister. If she'd only had been there a second or two before, Prue would have been alive today, but then, they'd never know about Paige. She was the only bright spot in this fledgling family. It was a catch 22 for Phoebe. She just didn't know which one would have made her life better.

Chapter 1-
Phoebe believed everything was quiet, so she thought she'd go down stairs for awhile. She was starving. She hadn't eating dinner the night before. As Phoebe was heading down the steps, she saw Piper coming in, it was too late, and Piper spotted her.
"What the hell are you doing?" Piper asked coldly.
"I'm sorry, Piper. I'm going back upstairs," Phoebe says not wanting any type of confrontation, but she could tell, Piper was ready for a fight.
"God, Phoebe, you never learn, do you?" Piper asked again, physically upset. "I don't need to deal with you today, or ever. I don't even want you here anyway. I'm only keeping you here because Prue would have wanted it, and for some odd reason Paige wants you here."
Piper had a bad day at P3. The latest shipment was all broken. Money down the drain for P3, and she wasn't ready to tell Phoebe! She, hurt by the harsh words spoke by Piper, Phoebe turned on her heels, and headed back to her room. She shut the door and it locked it.
"I'm so sorry. You'll never truly know how sorry I am," She said as the tears began to weld up in her eyes.
Phoebe walked over to her bed sullenly. As soon as she sat down on the bed, she let tears flow. She couldn't stop, until she looked over at her nightstand. Phoebe picked a picture up of her and Cole. She clutched it to her chest, remembing the good times they shared.
"Oh Cole. You'd still be alive, if I'd let you go, Piper would have never retailed against you to get back at me. I'm sorry."
***** Piper leaned against the banister, thinking of the day that Prue was lost, as well as the innocent. The reality of it hit her hard; Phoebe was to blame she thought.
"Dammit Phoebe. It's all your fault."
Tears sparng from her eyes. The tears always came after she had to deal with Phoebe, cause then she started thinking about Prue.
"I just wish she'd been the one to die. We'd still have Paige."
A voice echoed through the room, "You don't mean that Piper."
"The hell I don't," Piper spat back at a materializing Leo. "Don't I mean it? When it counted most, where the hell was Phoebe? Huh.saving Coles sorry ass. She always thought she could change him."
"Piper, come on, she's your sister."
"No, Prue and Paige are my sisters."
Leo sat next to his wife, who had been sitting on the steps, trying to sooth her.
"I know it's hard. I lost her too, Piper," Leo said trying to make the situation better. "I loved her too, but I also love Phoebe too. I don't blame her at all."
"I'm tired of hearing this. Phoebe killed Prue.end of story."
"You can't mean that!"
"I don't want her here. I just keep her around because of Paige, and it was what Prue would have wanted."
Leo stood up frustrated with his wife. He didn't know any other way to help her. It was now up to her.
"If Prue could see you know, she'd wouldn't be happy with your current attitude."
"To damn bad, Leo!"
"Just.Just.GET OVER IT," He stammered frustrated, then quickly orbed out.
"Who need you anyway," Piper yelled out.
"We do," Paige says shutting the door. "It's time you let this go and forgive OUR sister."
Piper scrunched up her face and sighed deeply.
"Look, I got my issues with being abandoned at birth, and of filling big shows, but I get through it. How is it you can't move on? I don't blame her, and neither should you."
"Paige, I don't need your insight. You weren't there when I almost lost my life and Prue died. Phoebe was with Cole. End of story!"
"I do know the story. I lost her too. I wish everyday she survived. I want to meet her everyday, but I know I can't. So just GET OVER IT!"
Piper rolled her eyes at her sister. She was tried of everyone telling her that she needed to get over it. That was something she wasn't ever going to be ready for. Piper decided to go to the kitchen, to get away for the conversation.
"Look, all I'm saying is you don't need to do this to Phoebe," Paige tried getting across to Piper, but she just ignored her. "Cause she's beating herself. up."
By the time Paige was finished, Piper was already in the kitchen.
"I just don't know how I'll ever get through to her."
**** Prue watched over as her family was falling apart. She knew some thing had to be done, but what, she had no clue.
"Please let it go Piper, It was a mistake. Phoebe was only doing what she thought was right.There's got to be away to bright them together."
Patty and Grams appeared behind Prue.
"Honey," Patty placed a hand on her daughters shoulder. "It'll be ok."
Patty knew something, but wasn't able to say anything. She knew that Prue would try something drastic.Like go back to earth if she could.
"Piper will come around," Grams stated firmly in a grandmotherly way.
"I hope so."
****
Phoebe cried herself asleep. She so wanted Piper's forgiveness, but she knew that Piper would forgive when she was ready.If she ever was.
Later that evening, there were signs of demonic activity at the manor, but Piper ignored it, and went back to deal with her issues of the day at P3. Paige wanted to consult with Phoebe, but she wasn't up to researching any thing.
"Phoebe, come on. Open the damn door," Paige protested.
"Go away!"
"No!"
Paige decided to orb inside, because Phoebe was so stubborn, she'd never answer the door. Even in practice, she wasn't sure she'd make it fully in the room. She had to try.
"Come, concentrate," she encouraged herself.
She concentrated on Phoebe's room, and then orbed on the other side of the door with no problem.
"I did it," Paige said excitedly.
"Paige!"
"Sorry, but we need to talk."
"STOP!"
"Why should I? Piper won't listen to me."
"That's it, just leave!" Phoebe demanded.
Paige came towards Phoebe, who had been sitting on her bed. "Get your ass out of that bed, and gets dressed. We're getting this family back together."
Wow, she's a lot like Prue, Paige thought.
"Are you sure you're not Prue incarnate?" Cause you sure are a like her," Phoebe asked lightheartedly.
Paige smiled at Phoebe, "I see you haven't lost your sense of humor."
"No, I guess not.What is it you found?"
"Nothing specific, just a feeling I have. I'm sure that there's something. There always is."
"A feeling? Like an instinct?"
"It's like Leo, he can sense good. I guess I can sense evil."
"Well, we can't really go on a feeling. Prue was a lot like that. She'd have those similar feelings, and go with it," Phoebe said as she began to cry.
"Oh, don't cry, Phoebe. It's good to talk about it, but never cry. Prue would want you to be happy."
Phoebe was ready to move on. To be forgiven. She was happy that Paige hasn't hated her for ruining her life.
"I know that look, and I know what you're feeling.You didn't ruin my life, and I do forgive you."
"How'd you know?"
"We're sisters, and I love you."
"I love you too," as the two women hugged.
The hug was quickly broken.
"Was there anything else about your feeling?"
"Just that evil has been near or in the manor.Sometimes I got the feeling that someone was watching me. Did you get that?"
"Sometimes, but I shrugged it off.Boy, I'm gonna be a little rusty at doing the whole craft. Haven't practiced in a long while..Jeez, when was the last time I got a premonition?"
"Hmm, maybe that's because they haven't been sending them??? We better get started. Maybe you'll have one."
