Once Paige finished her dance, she headed to the dressing rooms, not noticing the four persons following and calling for her.

"Hey Paige!" Piper called but due to the music and the crowd Paige didn't hear her.

The sisters and their couples tried to enter the dressing room after Paige, but a tall strong man stopped them.

"You can't get in there," the man said with authority.

"Please, it's important, we need to talk to her!" Phoebe said.

"If you want to talk to Cherry you have to wait outside, no one other than our girls cross this door," the man said not budging.

"Cherry?" Piper asked with a frown.

"Yes, now move along people," the man said and pushed them lightly in the opposite direction, they made their way through the crowd and left the club.

In the meantime, Paige was changing her clothes, when she was dressed she grabbed her jacket, took her keys and headed out via the back door that led to the alley where she always parked her motorcycle and where recently Shax attached her, and unfortunately for her, the killer demon reappeared there like the last time, in a swirl of wind and smoke.

"Who the hell are you?!" Paige screamed shocked.

Shax didn't say anything, he grabbed her by the neck and lift her a couple of feet off the ground, making it hard for Paige to breathe.

She tried in vain to get free from the strong hold, the world around her was fading away because of the lack of oxygen; she tried to kick him but that only pissed Shax off, he threw her hard against the wall, barely conscious she tried to stand up and run, but she still hadn't fully recovered her breath and now her head was pounding, the last thing she heard was someone scream, "hey!" and then everything was a blur, it was hard for her to focus, everything seemed so surreal.

When Piper, Phoebe, Leo and Cole walked out the club they lingered in the street for a while planning their next move, when they heard someone screamed "who the hell are you," quickly they ran to the origin of the scream. They headed to the alley and saw Shax shocking Paige, and her weakly kicking him, then they saw how Shax smashed their half sister against the wall. This got Piper angry, "hey!" she yelled at Shax and started to blow him up over and over again, but this only made the demon take a step backwards with every attack, weakening him but not nearly enough to defeat him.

Phoebe ran to check on Paige, "Leo! Heal her!" she asked her brother in law when she saw blood on her half sister's forehead. Leo ran to them and healed Paige while Piper kept on attacking Shax.

"Paige, we need your help to vanquish Shax, this might sound crazy but there's no time to explain" Phoebe said in a rush, "please, we need you to read this spell along with us," she showed her a piece of paper.

"Spell? What are you guys, witches?" Paige asked confused and unsure of what was happening.

"Yeah, and so are you… we hope."

Leo, in an attempt to distract Shax jumped to his back, Piper took the opportunity to join her sisters, she and Phoebe joined their hands with Paige's and a blue light surrounded them, Paige tried to release her hands but the Halliwells held on tight.

"Just read this!" Phoebe reminded her.

The three read from the paper, "evil wind that blows, that which forms below, no longer may you dwell, death takes you with this spell," with this Shax screamed in pain and exploded.

Paige was shocked, she didn't know if she was hallucinating or dreaming when she saw her attacker exploded.

When they thought they were safe, two bounty hunters shimmered in and attacked Cole who managed to dodge the attacks.

"Go! I'll deal with them!" he said and an energy ball appeared in his hand.

"Be careful!" Phoebe warned.

Leo orbed Piper, Phoebe and Paige to the manor.

Paige felt lightheaded and saw her surroundings change in the middle of blue and white lights.

"What was all that?" Paige held her head, she was sure she was bleeding but somehow there was no sign of any blood or injury at all, "how did we get here?" she stood up and walked around to find an exit, when she saw the front door she walked towards it.

"Wait!" Phoebe held her arm to stop her, "we'll explain everything, just don't leave please."

Paige looked at Phoebe, she didn't want to stay there but she wanted to understand what was happening.

"Fine," Paige replied with an impatient tone.

"Ok well, first of all, I'm Phoebe, and that's my sister Piper," the now middle sister said as she pointed to herself and Piper, "and that's Leo-"

"Yeah whatever, just cut to the chase," Paige interrupted.

"We are your half sisters," Piper said bluntly.

Paige didn't seemed surprised by that information, she just stared at them.

"I know," she replied with a cold tone.

"Wha… wait, you know?" Piper asked, she didn't expect that reply.

"What I want to know is what the hell are you," Paige said defiantly.

"We, the three of us are the Charmed ones," Phoebe said, also surprised that Paige already knew they were sisters.

"And is that supposed to mean anything to me?"

"You have a power, At least, if you're really a Charmed One, you do. And the sooner you learn it, the sooner you'll be able to protect yourself," Phoebe continued.

"I'm able to protect myself… have been doing it for eight years… so thank you for saving me, and it's cool you're witches and have powers and all, but I'm not interested in being one of you," Paige said and turned to leave. She was by the door when Cole shimmered right in her way startling the youngest sister, she orbed in her spot for a second.

"What happened?" Paige asked regaining her balance.

"You orbed," Cole answered in a casual tone.

"See? You have a power," Phoebe joined them.

"I don't want it, so save your magic to yourselves," she again tried to leave but one more time she was stopped, this time by Piper.

"Wait, before you leave, at least let us show you what good magic can do," the eldest said, recognizing some of her own stubbornness and even Prue's in Paige.

Piper guided Paige to the attic, Phoebe followed.

"Let's call mom," Piper said softly to Phoebe who nodded and arranged the candles on the floor, Paige just sighed and watched.

"Here these words, hear my cry spirit from the other side, come to me, I summon thee, cross now the Great Divide," Piper and Phoebe chanted holding hands.

Paige watched in awe how someone appeared in the middle of the candle's circle.

"There's someone here we thought you should meet," Phoebe said to Patty, she turned around and saw Paige staring at her.

"Paige!" Patty said happy, she walked outside the circle and became corporeal, she hugged Paige.

"Welcome home," Patty said, however the response she got from Paige wasn't what she expected. Paige pushed her back.

"Paige?" Patty called hurt.

"This is too much," Paige said and ran away.

Piper and Phoebe ran after her.

Paige left the manor and ran to her foster parents's house, she locked herself in there.

The next night, Phoebe and Piper went back to the club, they saw Paige's motorcycle outside.

"Hi, we're looking for Paige… I mean, Cherry, can you ask her to come here?" Piper asked the same man that was guarding the dressing room last night.

"She hasn't come yet," the man said.

"But we saw her bike outside," Phoebe said, with some concern.

"It's been there since last night," the man said, not really caring about that.

Then the sisters remembered that last night Leo orbed them all to the manor; that explained why the bike was still there.

The sisters went back to the manor to scry for their sister, the crystal pointed to the address they knew was where Paige's foster parents lived.

Paige was sleeping over the carpeted floor when there was a knock on the door.

"Paige?" Phoebe called, "come on, we know you're there."

It took more knockings to wake Paige up, slowly she walked towards the door to open it, she didn't say anything to Phoebe and Piper, she just let the door open and went back to what used to be the living room, where she was sleeping a minute ago. She sat on the floor with her back to the wall and grabbed the bottle of whiskey again, it was almost empty.

Her sisters walked inside, looking around the place, the first time they were there they thought it was abandoned.

"Hey," Phoebe said softly to Paige.

"What do you want," Paige said after a sip of whiskey.

"We were worried about you," Phoebe answered.

Paige snorted, "why."

"Because you're our sister," replied.

"So?" Paige asked and drank the last of the bottle, then she threw it away.

"Why didn't you talk to us before?" Piper tried a different approach, "if you knew we were sisters."

"Because your mother abandoned me, for me that is a clear way of saying she wanted me away," Paige said with a cold tone.

"She didn't want you away," Phoebe said.

"Yeah right, a woman has three girls and out of the blue decided she didn't want the fourth one living under the same roof," she replied harshly.

"There were circumstances out of mom's control," Piper said.

"I don't care about that, It doesn't matter, now if you excuse me, I'm late for work," Paige stood up and wobbled, Phoebe held her.

"You're not going anywhere, you're drunk," Phoebe said.

"It's not the first time and it's nothing I can't handle," Paige said and pushed her sister away and walked out.

Phoebe and Piper remained in the dark house, their instincts telling them to go after Paige, but they didn't know how to approach her.

"She's even more stubborn than Prue," Piper said irritated by why wouldn't Paige just listened to them.

"She's holding a lot of pain," Phoebe said, "she thinks she was unwanted… we have to make her understand that we care about her."

"Do you?" Piper asked.

"Do I what?" Phoebe asked her.

"Care about her?" Piper said.

"Of course I do, she's our sister Piper" Phoebe said, not understanding her sister questioning that.

"We don't know her, we've barely talked to her,"

"So what, you're not going to give yourself a chance to get to know her? Your other sister?"

"Is just that… we just lost a sister, and Paige appeared in our lives right after that and…" Piper said in thought.

"Piper, you're not replacing Prue if that's what you're implying," Phoebe said in understanding.

"The reason I wanted to approach Paige was to use the Power of Three to kill Shax, for Prue… and that was it, I never thought about approaching a long lost sister, I only thought about killing Shax with her help."

Phoebe hugged her sister, "this is a change none of us expected, and it's hard for all of us, but we'll get through this, and for now, I want to help Paige, not only because she's our sister, but also because she's an innocent, and that's what we do."

"You're right, so where do we start, I think we're pushing her away every time we try to reach."

"Well, I guess by giving her the answers she wants, and only mom and grams have those answers."

"And we need those answers too," Piper said thinking that it would had been nice if at least they would had known they had a sister somewhere.
