Thanks for all the positive reviews and notes and thank you guys for reading! :) Sorry it took me a little longer to write this chapter, I have been busy the last few days. Sorry if you guys don't understand all the gymnastic moves I mention in this chapter. I tried to keep it simple. And I'm sorry I have been spelling the word gauze like "gaze" I didn't realize it auto corrected it self.
"I'm fine." Paige said while picking up a strawberry to eat from the plate Piper put down in front of her.
Prue nodded and went back to typing on her laptop. Paige ate a little more on her plate then left going up stairs to change into clothes to practice her gymnastics. Paige changed into grey leggings and a white tank top. She went back downstairs into the basement because that was the space with the most room. Piper came back into he kitchen and frowned at Paige's plate because she had barely ate anything.
"Why does no one in this family like my food? I thought Paige was the one member who did." Piper asked sarcastically.
"I'm sure she does Piper, she just went down to practice and if you have to much food in your stomach while you bending and jumping around, well you know what will happen." Prue said smiling.
Piper rolled her eyes and cleared Paige's plate, putting the plate in the sink. Down in the basement Paige was stretching to do her tricks. She went into a backbend holding it for a few seconds before coming up. Paige went into a handstand bending her legs into double stag and walking around on her hands. She did a couple back handsprings and a back tuck. Soon after this Paige went upstairs, she was sweaty and breathing really heavily from everything she did. She was heading to the fridge to get a drink of water when a demon shimmered in.
"Prepare to die witch." The demon said in a deep voice and shot two fire balls at Paige.
The first fireball missed Paige but the force shot her against the wall behind the counter, and she dodged the other one.
"Prue! Piper!" Paige yelled struggling to get up.
When Prue and Piper rushed in the demon shot a fire ball at the wall near Prue pushing her to the ground. Prue waved her hand at the demon her he shot against the wall. Piper blew him up and helped Prue up. Paige was pushing on the counter for support to stand up. After Prue got up she went to Paige putting her hand on Paige's arm.
"Are you okay?" Prue asked.
Paige nodded coughing she was out of breath. Prue rubbed Paige's back as Paige got a drink of water.
"Do you know why he would be after you?" Piper asked.
"No, he just showed up." Paige said shaking her head after she swallowed.
Paige was leaning against the counter with Prue by her side as Piper looked down puzzled.
"Paige lets go upstairs and you can change while I check the book, Prue can you call Phoebe?" Piper asked.
"Yeah, sure." Prue said.
Paige and Piper went upstairs, Paige went into her room closing the door, while Piper when up to the attic.
Piper went over to the book flipping threw it looking for the demon. Paige was getting undressed from the clothes she practiced her gymnastics in. She put on a pair of black sweat pants and a white lose fitting tank top. She put her hair up into a messy bun. Piper picked up the book heading down the attic steps looking at the page. Paige was sitting slowly down on her bed placing a hand on her forehead she was dizzy, as Piper walking in and sat down next to Paige.
"I think I found the demon, his name is Creo, he is a low level demon who fears The Triad. Piper said looking down at the book.
Paige closed her eyes as they were partially covered by her hand. Piper put her hand under Paige's chin and gently pushed her head up and Paige opened her eyes.
"Paige your eyes are dilated." Piper said.
"Yeah, I just got kind of dizzy." Paige said.
Piper kept looking at Paige's eyes. Paige blinked looking away.
"So what about the demon..?" Paige asked.
"Um just another low leveled demon trying to kill us for power probably." Piper answered.
Paige nodded and rubbed the top of her legs standing up walking out of the room downstairs. When Paige got downstairs Phoebe was walking in the door, they greeted each other with a hug and walked into the kitchen, Prue was picking some stuff up that fell from when the demon attacked. Piper sighed thinking for a moment then took the book back upstairs. She started to head back downstairs.
"You could have called me, I would have come home." Phoebe said.
"It wasn't that big of a deal, just another stupid little demon." Paige said back trying to end the conversation.
"It could have been a big deal if he would have hurt you, why didn't you use your powers?" Prue joined in a little angry.
"I don't know.. I'm sorry.." Paige said and looked down.
By this time Piper was standing behind the wall leaning against it listening to the conversation.
"Don't be sorry, just, you could have been hurt." Prue said.
Phoebe looked at Paige with a concerned look, while Paige was trying to avoid eye contact with both of them. Piper went into the conservatory and sat down on the little outdoor wicker couch. The three soon came in and Phoebe sat down next to Piper, Prue sat down in the chair, and Paige leaned in the door way. Phoebe and Prue were talking and Piper joined in every now and then, but she was mostly watching Paige. Paige was switching her weight from one leg to another about every 20 seconds as she was looking up and down and fidgeting around. The morphine Paige took earlier was wearing off and Paige's leg was starting to hurt badly again and Paige was trying to avoid it. A few minutes later Paige just headed upstairs.
"Where are you going?" Phoebe yelled as Paige was heading up the stairs.
"Upstairs, where does it look like I'm going?" Paige yelled back.
"Ugh, she's so difficult sometimes." Phoebe said then went back to her conversation with Prue.
Paige went upstairs into the bathroom and took another pill and washed her face. It was around six o'clock at night and Paige was already really tired. Paige headed back downstairs. Piper was in the kitchen making popcorn when Phoebe walked up to Paige.
"Do you want to watch a movie with us?" Phoebe asked Paige.
"Sure." Paige said and followed Phoebe into the living room.
Paige sat down in the small loveseat tucking her legs underneath herself and Phoebe sat on the couch with Prue, and Piper came in and sat down with Phoebe and Prue. Leo walked in a few minutes later sitting in the other small loveseat opposite to Paige. About a half and hour into the movie Paige fell asleep curled up on the loveseat. A little while later Phoebe nudged Prue smiled and motioned towards Paige.
"Oh let her sleep." Piper said quietly.
Every now and then Paige would stir from the noises. Piper got up and walked over to Wyatt who was playing in his play pen because it was still early.
"Hey buddy can you orb your Aunty Paige up to her bed?" Piper asked Wyatt.
Wyatt smiled and nodded orbing Paige up to her bed and he orbed back to his play pin. Piper sat back down on the couch. When the movie was over Leo picked up Wyatt taking him to bed and the three sisters came up shortly after changing and going to sleep. The next day was Saturday so all the girls slept in and Phoebe didn't have to go to work. Prue got up first, she went into the bathroom taking a shower. When she was done she changed and went downstairs making coffee and eating some fruit for breakfast. Piper then got up showering, changing and went downstairs.
"Good morning." Prue said to Piper who walked in the kitchen as Prue was pouring coffee.
"Morning." Piper said back and picked up one of the coffee cups, taking a sip of coffee.
Phoebe got up around ten and took a shower. She changed and headed downstairs into the kitchen pouring herself some coffee.
"Paige still not up? Its like eleven." Phoebe said.
"Paige awake at eleven? Are you kidding me she got up like a two in the afternoon the last few days." Prue said to Phoebe.
"And that was just because Piper woke her up." Prue added while reading the paper." Prue added.
"Really? That's strange, wonder what's up with her." Phoebe said.
Prue shrugged.
"What about you missy, your very quiet. Spill it what do you know." Phoebe said to Piper who was looking at the ground.
