Piper was the first to enter the hospital and headed straight toward her sister's room but was stopped by Paige's doctor.
"Is Paige okay?" she asked. Phoebe and Prue soon arrived behind her.
"Paige will be okay, please let's go somewhere more private," she said motioning to an empty office.
"Paige will be okay, right?" Prue asked.
"In time, now I called you all here to tell you something," she said, "This is a very serious matter. It isn't anything I haven't seen before of course."
"So Paige will be okay then?" Piper asked.
"Yes," she said, the sisters sighed in relief.
"So why did you call?" Phoebe asked.
"Paige's fever rose awfully high, while you were gone for the hour, she suffered some hallucinations and she was in great pain," she said.
"Oh my G-d," Piper whispered.
"She struggled against our help; she's asleep at the moment and has been given some pain medication," she said.
"My past patients have experienced hallucinations, because of fever, but in her case it was different. Most don't seem so afraid, pardon my questioning but has Paige experienced any past trauma?"
"Her parents died when she was young and her boyfriend just passed, but we've helped her get past her parent's death, are you suggesting there's something else?" Piper asked.
"Perhaps, maybe it would be helpful that your sister see a psychiatrist," she said.
"Paige doesn't need a psychiatrist, she has her family for these problems," Piper said.
"Piper maybe she's right, it might be easier for Paige to open up to a stranger than her own family," Prue said.
"Prue, we're her family- her sis, well her family anyway, we will help her through this," Piper argued.
"Whatever you decide, I suggest Dr. Jo Drew," she said, "Would you like to see Paige? She's still asleep and won't be awake for a few hours but you're welcome to stay past visiting hours." Phoebe stood up first while Piper and Prue 'discussed' what to do about Paige.
"Prue, Paige has us for help she doesn't need to see some psychiatrist," Piper said.
"Look we can get past the demon part easily, but if Paige doesn't get over this, and then the demon problem might not be so easy to get rid of. Plus Paige also has the psychological issues to get through, maybe this Dr. Jo can help," Prue said.
"Prue we can help Paige ourselves, Paige is supposed to be able to tell us everything, we'll help her get through this no matter what it takes," Piper said. (Just an FYI Paige has only been asleep for 30 minutes)
Phoebe was the first to enter the room seeing her younger sister paler than usual- most would think that wasn't possible- in the hospital bed, the silver bars raised to keep Paige from getting out. She rushed to the bed, Paige had a silver needle in her arm and the heart monitor beeped softly next to her.
"Paige?" Phoebe asked softly, Paige didn't stir.
Piper and Prue entered and stopped talking when they saw Paige. Never had either of them had seen her like this. Prue rushed to the other side of the bed.
"Paige?" Prue asked, just like Phoebe had. Again just like Phoebe, Paige made no movement. Piper went to stand by Phoebe and held her hand. Phoebe with her other hand held Paige's which she rested on the cold metal bar, Prue did the same. Prue touched Paige forehead pushing her sister's hair away.
"She's so hot," Prue said.
"Yet her hands are like ice," Phoebe said.
"What did Paige's doctor say her temperature was?" Piper asked.
"She didn't, we should ask her I'll go get her," Prue said leaving and quickly returned with Dr. W.
"Her temperature the last time we checked was 103.5, it's rising, her blood results will be here tomorrow morning, let me check that now," she said. Phoebe and Piper moved away from Paige as the doctor checked her fever.
"It's gone down, 103," she said. The hope that Paige would get better rose higher as Piper smiled a little.
"When will she wake?" Prue asked.
"Not for another hour or so, as I said before you are welcome to stay," she said leaving the room. Piper and Prue continued to discuss about what to do about Paige. Phoebe sighed after fifteen minutes of their bickering.
"Oh, give it a break will you! Look maybe we can help her get better if she won't open up to us, then she can go see this doctor," Phoebe said.
"Okay," Prue said.
"I totally forgot, Phoebe what was your premonition about?" Piper asked. Prue remembered she still had the green scarf in her purse and she pulled it out.
"You got it when you touched this right?" Prue asked.
"Yes, Paige was in some apartment and there was some demon, I don't know what or who it was, but she was backing into a corner. Then he shimmered away with her to a dark alley. She had this scarf on, it's nearly black now, and I think she tried to burn it. He grabbed her by the scarf, which was around her neck. He threw her on the ground and beat her," Phoebe said, taking a deep breath, tears were rolling down all of the sister's faces.
"Pheebs?" Prue asked.
"He knew, he knew she was a witch," Phoebe said, "The premonition ended there, I don't know what happened after that."
"Why didn't she tell us?" Piper asked.
"She didn't know how, she was close to telling me the other night but she was scared you'd get hurt," Prue asked.
"Maybe you should talk to her once she wakes up," Phoebe said.
"And if she doesn't open up then'll we can take her to that doctor," Piper said.
"Okay," Prue said.
"So that hallucination Paige had do you think it was just that or was the demon here?"Phoebe asked worry in her voice.
"With our luck, it could have been real but maybe it was just her fever," Piper said.
"We can only hope," Prue said. The next hour passed slowly and quietly.
Phoebe and Piper were both asleep on the sofa by the window but Prue was sitting next to Paige.
"Hey sweetie," Prue said.
"Hi," Paige whispered, she tried to sit up but Prue pushed her down.
"No Paige it's probably best if you stay lying down," Prue said.
"But," Paige started to say.
"No buts, now I heard someone was here earlier tonight, who was it?"
"He was gone; he was out of my life, he wasn't supposed to come back, won't let him hurt you," Paige said.
"Who sweetie?"
"Demon, Jonas wasn't supposed to come back," Paige said crying. Prue hugged her.
"It's okay, we won't let him hurt you," Prue said soothingly.
"Why were you so scared of him? You had your powers," Prue asked.
"Wouldn't help, immune, immune," Paige said crying.
"He's immune to your powers?" Prue asked. Paige didn't say anything her fever dropping down, enough for her to know what she was saying.
"What?" Paige asked, slightly forgetting what Prue had asked.
"The demon, Jonas, he was immune to your powers?" Prue asked.
"Who's Jonas?" Paige asked acting confused.
"Paige," Prue said sternly, she knew the fever had dropped. She was very happy about that of course but Paige was avoiding her question.
"Prue," Paige said imitating Prue then she giggled.
"You look so funny Prue," Paige said her words slurring.
"Ooh do I?" Prue asked.
"Yes," Paige said laughing some more but she stopped when she saw Jonas. Jonas was standing behind Prue. Paige squealed in fear.
"Paige?" Prue asked.
"Paige, I'm back, I missed a sister I see," he said.
"Get away, get away!" Paige said.
"Paige, its okay, sweetie," she said.
"Jonas," Paige said, Prue turned around and...
