I Always Knew
Phoebe, Prue and Piper stood rivited to the spot staring at where the two demons had fought.
"Okay, what the hell just happened?" Piper asked, a look of confusion evident in her voice.
Prue looked away from the scorch mark on the floor and looked at her two younger sisters.
"Well obviously, the first demon was trying to warn us about something and the second demon was trying to stop him from telling us." Prue said thoughtfully.
"She is comming, she is no longer who you think." Phoebe said staring into space. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
Phoebe said, throwing her hands in the air.
"I dont know but what I'm worried about is why a demon was trying to warn us. Since when are we on their protection list?"
Prue said raising her eyebrows.
"The second demon must be working for someone. Probably the 'She' that the first demon mentioned." Piper said joining in her sister's investigation.
"You're right, Phoebe, we'll go check the book and see if we can find anything on these demons, Piper you ask Leo if the Elders know anything of any weirdness going on in the underworld lately." Prue said taking hand of the situation.
The two sisters nodded, although they we're on a serious mission to find out what was going on, Piper and Phoebe were happy that Prue was begginig to act like her normal bossy self again. As Phoebe left Piper and headed up the stairs, she couldnt help but wonder who the 'She' was that the demon was warning them about. Apparently they already met her but she had changed. There was something inside Phoebe's mind screaming to her that mabye this is what she's been waiting for. Mabye, finally Paige was comming back.
"Leo!", Piper yelled as Phoebe and Prue asccended the stairs.
It took Leo about 2 minutes and three threats from Piper to finnaly appear.
"Hey what took you so long?", Piper asked as she kissed Leo sweetly.
"Sorry, there's been an upsurge in demonic activity in the underworld, like a gathering, a very large one." Leo said grimly.
"What do you think it is?", Piper asked, searching his eyes and catching the glint of fear hidden behind those blue orbs.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, its big." Leo said seriously.
As Phoebe entered the attic behind Prue, she asked Prue a question that had plagued her mind since the attack downstairs.
"So... Who do you think the demon was talking about. You know the whole, 'She is comming', gig?", Phoebe asked her eldest sister, looking into her eyes to look for any falters or strange glances.
"What? Oh I dunno, why?" Prue asked as she flipped through the book of shadows.
"Oh I dunno I was just thinking that mabye... the demon was talking about... Paige" Phoebe whispered so quietly she doubted Prue even heard her.
But she did.
Prue let out a tired sigh, "Phoebe, how many times do we have to have this conversation. I thought you were over this phase Phoebes. Please, don't drag it up again. You have to stop denying the fact that shes gone Phoebe."
"And you have to stop denying me Prue. I cant ingnore this feeling inside me, telling me my little sister is still alive and needs me.", Phoebe yelled, tears biggining to sting her eyes.
"Its been 13 years Phoebe! You have got to get over it!" Prue yelled.
"No Prue. You have to get over it." Phoebe said as she turned and walked out of the attic.
Prue stared after her little sister.
She knew Phoebe was right, she could'nt keep shutting Piper and Phoebe out. They had to be a family once again.
As Piper watched the blue orbs of her boyfriend dissapear to go see The Elders, Piper could hear yelling comming from the attic.
"Oh God not again" Piper whispered as she started up the stairs to find Phoebe walk intop her room, slamming the door closed behind her.
'Great Prue, just great' she thought as she knocked on her younger sister's door.
"Phoebes? You okay?" Piper asked gently through the wooden barrier separating them.
She was greeted by Phoebe's watery eyes as she opened the door, and walked over to the bed.
"What's the matter sweetie?" Piper asked as she sat next to Phoebe on the bed.
"She doe'snt understand Piper. I can feel it I know its real." Phoebe sobbed in despair.
"Whoa, sweetie slow down, who doesnt understand what?" Piper asked her distraught little sister.
Phoebe took a steadying breath then looked at Piper.
"I know this sounds crazy, but I think that Paige is still alive and thats what the demon was trying to warn us about. I tried telling Pru..." Phoebe explained but was cut off by Piper.
"Wait wait wait, so you're saying that our baby sister is still alive, and some demon was trying to warn us about her return?" Piper asked looking away from Phoebe with an unreadable expression on her face.
Phoebe's face fell.
"You don't believe me either, do you? Look I know its crazy and ..." Phoebe was once again cut off by Piper turning to look her square in the eye.
"Actually, I do believe you. It kinda makes sense. 'She is comming... she is no longer who you think.'" Piper recalled what the demon had told them before being killed by the other larger demon.
Phoebe's eyes widdened. She hadn't actually thought that Piper would believe her. Mabye now they could both convince Prue. Just as Phoebe thought about how she could convince the oldest sister, Prue walked into the room.
"Okay guys I know that the past few years we've not really been as close as we used to be. And I feel as though I am cause of that."
"Prue.." Piper started to object.
"No Piper, let me finish. I didn't realise how much it was tearing this family apart and right now, I'm going to do everything in my power to get this family together again. But I dont think I can do it alone." Prue said sadly as she looked down at the floor.
Piper was the first to speak,
"You were never alone Prue."
Prue looked at her to sisters who were sat on the bed, both smiling warmly at her. Piper motioned for Prue to join them on the bed for a tight hug which lasted for at least 3 minutes.
"Well is'nt this cute, all three Charmed ones having a wittle cuddle." A voice said from the doorway.
The three sister's jumped apon hearing the voice, diverting their gaze towards the door to be met with a woman of medium height clad all in black with a pale palour and a familiar head of strawberry blonde hair.
"It can't be." Prue said in disbelief as she stood protectively infront of her two younger sisters.
"Paige" Phoebe said as fresh tears formed in her eyes.
"Suprise!" Paige smirked.
