Prue verbally told Paige where to do drive to, and they finally reached the manor. "I'm sorry for what Piper said,"
"Don't worry about it," Paige said quickly, as she parked in front of the manor. "I wouldn't know what to expect if a girl that is your long lost sister just suddenly just shows up,"
"Still…that was wrong of Piper to do that…hopefully she will warm up to you soon," Prue whispered with a sigh.
"What the hell was that thing…" Paige asked, hands tightening on the steering wheel.
"That was a demon Paige…" Prue explained. "Yeah…we get that expression every once in a while," Prue sighed. "I hate that you were thrown into this without even a moment's warning. At least me, Piper, and Phoebe had some warning when she read the spell out of the Book of Shadows," Prue sighed, with a sad look on her face. "Anyways, we are going to have to teach you to defend yourself against demons. You have got to learn what your powers are, and how to use them,"
Paige sighed, wishing that her newfound family didn't have to have this kind of responsibility. "Why do I have to do this?" Paige finally asked, as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
"It is our job to vanquish demons, to protect innocents from them," Prue tried to explain. "Look it will be easier to explain with the Book of Shadows…" Prue said, and Paige reluctantly got out of the car. Prue unlocked the front door, and led Paige into the manor.
"You wouldn't believe how much times I drove past here, wondering if you were my family…" Paige murmured.
"Well…you're here now…" Prue said, and lead her into the attic. Andy was in the attic already. "Hey Andy…" Prue said, dodging around him and grabbing the Book of Shadows. "Paige…come on over here," Prue called out, and Paige sat down next to her. "This is the Book of Shadows…where all of our history and magic has been recorded for many generations," Prue explained. Prue turned through pages until she reached the spell that Phoebe had recited three years ago. "This is the spell Phoebe used to unblock our powers…and probably released yours now since she is gone…" Prue said. "I know you had premonitions like Phoebe…have you levitated?" Prue questioned.
"Levitate?" Paige asked nervously. "You mean like to fly?"
"Kinda…" Prue said nervously. Paige shook her head, and Prue nodded. "We are going to have to teach you the craft…"
"I doubt that Piper will want to…" Paige murmured. Prue suddenly wrapped her arms around Paige.
"Paige…sweetie, Piper will be begging for your forgiveness sooner or later," Prue murmured. Pulling away, Prue opened up to the page to where Melinda Warren's page was. "That is Melinda Warren…the first of our generation. She predicted that this would happen…the three of us protecting the innocent from the evils…which we are going to have to teach you about…"
"You keep saying we…I have the feeling it is just going to be you teaching me…" Paige sighed, running a hand through her hair. Andy walked down to Prue and sat down next to her, wrapping his arm around her.
"Paige right?" Andy asked, looking at her.
"Yeah…" she whispered, rubbing her shoulders. "This is so much to take in," Paige murmured.
"I know it is Paige," Prue whispered, "I'm sorry that this is how you met us…" Prue said, putting her hand over Paige's. Just as Paige was about to open her mouth, she heard a door slam. "Prue, Andy!" Piper called out, and when she walked in her face went sour once again. "I see you are here still,"
"Piper that is enough," Leo commanded orbing in. "This is your sister…"
"She is no sister of mine," Piper snapped. Paige got up, and headed downstairs.
"Paige wait," Prue called after her, heading downstairs and catching her arm. "I can't let you go out there…especially without you knowing how to defend yourself," Prue said.
"That'd probably be a good idea," Cole gasped shimmering in. Paige let out a squeal not expecting to have someone appear in front of her, and she orbed. A millisecond later, she orbed back into the same spot.
"Source is pissed off that you and Piper managed to save Paige already, and kill one of his most powerful assassins," Cole wheezed. It looked liked that every part of his body hurt, but Prue didn't really care.
"What information do you have?" Prue asked in an annoyed voice. "The longer you stay here, the faster demons will get attracted here," Prue growled.
"The Source is going to attempt to turn Paige evil..." Cole started to explain slowly easing himself in the couch.
"There is no way to do that…" Paige said suddenly, "I am not going to become evil,"
"The Source won't care that you won't want to become evil…he'll find a way…I know I tried," Cole murmured.
"Alright you gave us your information, now leave," Prue stated. Cole sighed, and shimmered away. Prue turned to Paige, and sighed. "Phoebe's demon ex," Prue explained. Paige just stared at Prue, and Prue said, "We'll get into that another time,"
A couple hours laterPaige walked into her apartment with a sigh. She rubbed, her neck trying to get the kinks out of it. This day was totally unexpected, and Paige felt emotionally drained. Who wouldn't, after finding out her family are witches, and that she is supposed to complete one third of some powerful coven of light witches? She was surprised to see Glen crashed on her couch. She let out a small chuckle, and walked into her bathroom for a nice hot shower.
The Source was lurking around as he saw Paige's friend sleeping peacefully on the couch. Flaming up there, he silently walked over to him, and forced himself inside of Glen's body. As he entered, Glen tried to regain control of his body, letting out choking noises. Paige stepped out of the shower, and wrapped a towel around her, and put another towel on her head to dry her hair. She heard some choking noises, and walked out of the bathroom, and found Glen sitting up coughing. "You ok?" Paige asked, putting a hand on his back. He nodded, still coughing. Paige grabbed him a glass of water, and he took a couple sips.
"Thanks," he said giving her a grin.
"No problem…" Paige said, suddenly a little antsy of Glen. "I am going to go get changed…" she said, and walked into her closet, and grabbed a clean pair of clothes, maybe her and Glen could go grab some take out or something. Just as she pulled a sweater over her, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist. "Glen…what are you doing?" she asked, feeling nervous. He turned her around, and she noticed something different in his eyes. He didn't say anything he just leaned in closer. "Have you been drinking or something?" Paige grumbled, trying to push him off of her.
"Isn't this what you want?" Glen mumbled in her ear, his hand slowly going down her back. Before he could do anymore, her apartment door was kicked off its hinges, getting thrown back a couple feet. Paige saw Prue there; hand up in a stop gesture. "You couldn't make this easy could you Prue?" He growled, his voice changing. Paige tried to get out of Glen's reach, but he just tightened onto her, and she let out a groan of pain. "Too late to save your youngest sister…again,"
"Leave the boy's body…" Prue took a commanding step towards them, "and leave my family alone,"
"Going to vanquish me all by yourself Prudence?" The Source's voice came flying out of Glen's mouth. Suddenly Glen's body dropped to the ground, and the Source fully revealed himself. Flames surrounded him and Paige, and they were teleported back down to the Underworld. The Source roughly threw Paige to the ground, and Paige let out a yelp of pain. She gently cradled her left wrist, and looked in fear at the Source. "Don't worry there Paigey Girl…you'll learn to love evil…"
He started to walk the opposite direction, and but turned around once again, "Don't worry about being alone my seer will keep you company…" A woman appeared out of nowhere, with a crystal ball. She gazed at Paige flipping her long hair over her shoulder.
"You my dear have a great gift…" she purred slightly. "Don't need the aid of dark magic, or a crystal ball to see the future…just your mind…" she strutted over to her. "Once you learn to embrace evil into your heart again…you will be a powerful asset to evil…"
Paige's apartment"LEO! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" Prue screamed, fists in the air. "OUR LITTLE SISTER IS DOWN IN THE UNDERWORLD-," That got Leo's attention and he orbed immediately to Prue's side. Leo opened his mouth, but Prue cut him off, "Orb me into the Underworld, we need to go save Paige,"
"Piper isn't going to be very supportive of this plan," Leo sighed.
"Well Piper's brain is in the gutter," Prue grumbled. Leo took her by the arm, and they orbed to the Underworld.
"Shouldn't we have Piper with us?" Leo asked quietly as they looked for Paige.
"You think she would come willingly?" Prue sighed.
The Oracle was showing all of this to Paige, her oldest sister and her brother-in-law looking for her. "All their attempts to find you will be in vain deary," she drawled. Paige shot a teary eyed glare at the Oracle, refusing to say anything to her. She continued to look at the ball and she felt a sob coming on, and a ringing in her ears. Cole shimmered in and threw an energy ball at the Oracle, grabbed a frightened Paige, and shimmered to Prue and Leo. He suddenly convulsed, and looked down at his abdomen, and a sword protruded out of it. Paige opened her eyes, and the Oracle didn't seem to notice Paige spacing out having a vision. Cole shimmered into the room, and saw Paige. He owed Phoebe and every innocent he ever killed, to save Paige from becoming evil. Cole summoned an energy ball.
"My Liege!" the oracle screamed finally seeing what Paige had seen just moments ago. Cole, threw an energy ball at the oracle, and grabbed Paige gently by the arm.
"Come on, I am getting you out of here," Cole said, gently taking her by the arm, and leading her out of the cave.
"Cole…you need to get out of here…" Paige tried to warn him, but he just shook his head.
"Come on, I got to take you back to your sisters…I owe that to Phoebe, and every innocent," Cole said, a sadness in his eyes. "Prue," he stage whispered, and Prue turned to him, and saw that he had Paige.
"Cole…you need to get out of here," Paige warned, but he suddenly pushed her out of the way, and he let out a groan of pain, a sword plunging into his abdomen. "Cole!" Paige cried out, and trying to go to him. Prue waved her hand at the Source, sending him flying backwards. "Prue I tried to warn him…" Paige murmured, and Prue rubbed her shoulders gently.
Cole gently murmured, "Phoebe…" and he closed his eyes. A white ball of light went out of Cole and hovered over to Paige. She gently grabbed it. Leo grabbed onto Paige's shoulders, and orbed them away from the Underworld.
"About time you came home," Piper snapped, when she saw Prue and Leo. "What are you doing here?"
"Piper…she was kidnapped, thanks for your help by the way," he snapped, putting his hand over Paige's wrist. Paige sighed, and she saw Glen standing by the door. Andy had explained magic to him, and a look of guilt washed over his face.
"Paige…" he started, reaching out towards Paige, but she involuntarily shirked away from him. His face washed over in hurt, but Paige couldn't handle seeing Glen right now, not after the Source had possessed him. "Paige…I'm sorry…" Glen said, but Paige walked away, heading towards the living room.
