Chapter 2

( Paige's POV- Manor)

I roll my eyes as Chris begins to whine and complain about how he is all right. The man thinks he's indestructible- I find him irritable and flammable. " Chris, we are going to sweat it, someone tried to kill you," I point out as I slam the book shut.

He places his hands on his chest and retorts, " See? Look at me not a scratch."

Phoebe sighs and then suggests, " I don't know about the rest of you, but I want to catch some shut eye before work."

I cover my mouth to keep myself from yawning and reply, " Look it's really too early for us to look for the demon at this hour. Pheebs is right, we should all get some shut eye and wait for the demon to find Chris again."

Piper nods in response and replies, " I should get Wyatt up. Leo's going to be picking him up soon."

Chris holds out his hands and agrees with us, " See? You guys have more important things to do than worry about me, okay? So why don't you get some sleep and work on this later if the demon shows up again."

I shrug and turn to my sisters. " Is this a sound plan you guys?"

They both nod and Phoebe gets up and is ready to follow me out the door, when Piper requests, " Pheebs, could I talk with you, before you get some shut eye?"

I wave at them and follow Chris out the attic doorway and down the steps. I watch Chris' back as he takes each step at a time. His shoulders bob with each step, and I notice him holding onto the banister tightly, while flinching with every step. He was injured in the attack….

I stop as on the stairs and complain to him, " Not a scratch eh? Then how come you're holding onto the banister to tight?"

Chris' movements halt and he turns his head to the side. His breathing is labored and he snaps, " I'm fine Paige- stop trying to mother me."

I place a hand on his left shoulder, he winces at my actions and I step down so I am the step behind him. I lean closer to him and press my hand onto his shoulder. He inhales sharply and I utter, " You're not invincible ya know. If you would just let me- and my sisters' help you-"

He whirls around, and there is anger in his gray eyes. He removes my hand from his shoulder and snaps, " I don't need you're help! My life is of no importance all right? I have taken care of myself for a long time now. I don't need your sympathy nor your help."

I narrow my eyes and retort, " Well maybe you should start."

His jaw flinches and then he begins to walk down the steps again. I follow hot on his heels, complaining, " If you would just allow us to h-"

I cut myself off when I notice a woman standing in the foyer. She turns and eyes me and Chris as we step off the steps. Her charcoal colored hair is spiked around her chin and she wears a simple jacket, shirt and jeans. Her eyes are about the same color as Chris' and she eyes me with suspicion.

Her hands go up and she asks, " Are Piper or Phoebe here?"

I tilt my head to peer over at Chris and ask, " Who are you?"

She crosses her hands over her chest and says, " An old friend, is one of them home. I really need to speak to one or either of them. It is of great importance."

I narrow my eyes at her and reply, " Really? It must be an emergency, since you're here at five o'clock in the morning."

She clenches her jacket sleeve with her left hand. Her bodily expression shows she is anxious. Her mouth forms a grimace and then repeats, " Can I please speak to Piper or Phoebe?"

I cross my own arms and suggest, " I don't think that would be wise."

Her own eyes glare at me and she taunts, " I don't think it is wise for you to threaten me."

I take a step toward her and Chris does the same. He asks her, " I think you should leave."

She rolls her light eyes at him and snaps, " Stay out of this junior, this is between me and-"

I finish for her, " Paige, who agrees with junior over here."

She eyes and turns her attention fully back onto me. " I need to speak to Piper or Phoebe now. This is not a request."

I shake my head and retort, " As I said before, if you don't leave I'll make you leave."

She shrugs and then her hand flies up. She moves her hand to the left and I feel my body crumble and follow her orders. My feet slide from underneath me and my body hit's the glass vase on the table in the foyer. I hiss from the pain and then call out, " Vase!"

I aim the vase for her head and it slams into the right side of her head. She yelps in pain and grabs the side of her head. She attempts at telekinetically throwing me into the staircase, but before she can , I call out with my arm stretched out, " Lamp!"

The lamp from the corner table flies threw the air and bashes her in the head again. This time she bangs into the nearest wall and slides down the wall. Chris reaches her first and clutches onto her, so she cannot move and demands, " Who the hell are you?"

" Paige? What the hell is going on?" Phoebe calls as she comes scrambling down the stairs, Piper is right behind her.

They reach the end of the steps and eye Chris hovering over a woman. Phoebe stands over by me and asks, " Did she attack Chris?"

I shake my head, " No, she attacked me, she was trying to contact you and Piper for some reason. The bitch attacked me before I could stop her. She must be either a witch or demon because she has telekinesis."

Chris speaks up louder this time demanding, " I asked you a question. Who are you and what do you want with Piper and Phoebe?"

Piper begins to step forward and suggests to Chris, " I'll handle this- you step back and let me take care of it."

Chris steps back and Piper's eyes fall on the woman as she asks, " Now I'm not as nice as my white lighter here, I'll just blow a piece off at a time- until you-"

Her mouth stops moving and she remains froze in her position. The woman sat crumbled on the floor, wiping her blood from her brow. Her lips tremble and she utters one word, " Piper."

Phoebe and I glance at Piper and then back at the woman on the floor. Phoebe gasps and I can see tears welling up in her eyes. Who the hell is this woman? Piper and Phoebe act like they actually know her….

" Prue?" Phoebe gasps and steps near Piper.

I stand there unable to breath. This- woman whom I just attacked is--- my older sister? But Prue died- two years ago- how is this even a possibility?

I step forward and claim, " You- you can't be Prue. We buried her two years ago! You're tricking us!"

Piper steps back and " Prue" frowns at me. She gets up and brushes off her wounds, as if they didn't hurt her. She touches Phoebe's shoulder and looks her in the eyes. " Pheebs, it's me."

Phoebe's lips tremble and then shatters the distance between them and hugs her sister close. Phoebe lets the certainty sink in and sobs into her big sister's shoulder. Phoebe is unaware that Prue is shedding the same tears on her own shoulder.

"I missed you so much," Phoebe exclaims joyfully.

"I missed you too sis, " Prue announces, she eyes me and Piper and gestures for Piper to come over there. " Piper- it's really me. I'm here alive and with you."

Piper lets out an anguished sob and enfolds Prue in a hug around her and Phoebe. They sob into each other's shoulders', while I watch this all play out. Chris stands by me and watches in amazement as well. He eyes me and whispers, " Whose Prue?"

I glance up at him and respond, " She's our- eldest sister. Did you not read up on us before you came back from the future? She died two years ago from a demonic attack…. How this is possible, I have no idea."

Prue watches me speak to Chris and then lets go of Piper and Phoebe. She steps forward and frowns at me, arms crossing over her chest. " And Paige- who are you I might ask?"

Piper and Phoebe eye each other and each take one of Prue's hands. Piper eyes me and then suggests, " Why don't we adjourn to the living room, and fill ya in."

Without protest, Prue allows them to drag her into the living room and place her on the couch, snug between the two of them. I try not to laugh at the scene as I plop down into one of the chairs. As Prue is situated, Chris requests, " I think you guys need to catch up, so I'm going to head out."

He moves his arms by his side and leans against the doorway. Prue eyes him and asks, " How bout an introduction before you take off?"

He rolls his eyes and Piper states, " Chris is our white lighter. He's a neurotic pain in our asses from the future- a future who have no clue about, because he won't tell us about it."

Prue eyes Chris and says, " Maybe I'll get that story outta of ya, I'm not as comprising as these two."

Chris rolls his eyes at her and suggests, " Nice meeting you Prue, and hope you're not here when I get back." He orbs out before Prue can reply.

As the white lights disperse from where Chris use to stand, Prue turns her eyes on me. " So Paige tell me about yourself."

I bite my lip and look at my other two sisters' for support. Piper's eyes acknowledge my hesitation but approves of my choice in words. Phoebe's eyes shine with approval as well.

" I'm- well your younger sister," I blurt out, watching and waiting for her reaction.

Her eyes widen- more like become large circles of the sea. " I-- what?"

I inhale sharply and state, " Our- mother had an affair with her white lighter Sam- I'm the product of their affair."

Prue's jaw drops a few inches and she stammers out, " I- I knew she had an affair with Sam- but I never suspected they had produced a child. You're half witch and half white lighter then?"

I nod. Piper smiles and finishes for me, " She found us after you - died."

Piper's smile fades and then she questions, " How did you not die? I mean Prue we pulled your body from the wreckage…."

Prue cuts her off and suggests, " I--I look, I'm have no explanation for any of you. I-I can't reveal anything- in fact I'm going to have to be like Chris and not tell you any more. The fact of the matter is that I'm here- now and alive for now that is all you need to know."

I move in my seat and eye her carefully, " Really? So you have no explanation for where you have been for these past two years?"

She shrugs at me- like I'm a stranger to her- in her house. Anger flares in my stomach and I stand to my feet and snap, " Do you have any idea what you put Phoebe and Piper through? I watched them grieve for you and you don't have any explanation to give them?"

Prue sighs and looks at our sisters- no her sisters, or at least the two she grew up with. " Phoebe, Piper- I cannot answer your questions and I'm sorry for the pain I caused- but you have to respect my privacy as well- there are things I've been through I'm afraid to speak of."

My eyes blaze over as I hear Phoebe speak for both her and Piper. " We understand your silence- this is a quite a shock for one day. But I hope with some time-"

I cut her off my barking out, " You two are going to just sit there and respect her choice to not answer your questions? This- this is unbelievable!"

Phoebe stands to her feet and crosses the room and pats my shoulder. I whirl on my feet and head for the door. I can't stay here and watch them act like this. I know Piper is going through a tough time with trying to date Greg and all, and Phoebe is struggling to be with Jason overseas- but this is ludicrous!

Phoebe follows hot on my trail as I open the door to the Manor. She tries to stop me by pleading, " Paige-listen this is just a lot to sink in- she just needs time to tell us."

I huff out as I glance at her worried eyes. " Really? Is this how you look at it? You're accepting her in without any explanations- no questions asked, this isn't right."

She clasps her hands together and replies, " You don't know Prue- like we do-"

I cut her off and scoff, " You're right I don't. And you're making it sound like I don't have a say in this."

She sighs and explains, " Look- we know what she wants- and you do have a say-"

I cut her off by holding up my hand, my voice blazing, " Call me when my sisters' get back from vacation would you?"

Without waiting on her to reply, I slam the door in her face and walk out.
