Chapter 10
I have decided to continue this story and I would like to thank ALL my reviewers especially Amy, your review made my day and I hope you all will continue reading and reviewing my story.
Prue stormed into Manor furious, what was in her baby sister's head? Phoebe quietly slipped past Prue up the stairs to her and Paige's room.
"Grams' what is with Paige? She's never, ever acted like this before," Prue asked as she sat at the dining room table.
"She's going through a stage just like you all have, granted it isn't at the best time but we'll get through this, just remember you need to care for all your sisters," Grams said.
"Why me? I know I'm the oldest and all but Paige will be eighteen in a couple of years," Prue asked.
"Prue I know you are upset about not being able to go to school out east, but you have responsibilities, when I'm gone you have to take care of your sisters," Grams said, "End of discussion." Grams left the table leaving Prue alone with her thoughts.
Phoebe sat on her bed, and made a list of questions and what she knew.
1. Paige is my half-sister, why she never told me?
2. Paige could be right about magic, to some extent anyway
3. Grams is sick
4. Should I put off New York? Or should I leave directly after graduation?
5. And what about my baby sister-she crossed out sister and rewrote- half-sister? I don't think she should come, Prue could be bossy, but she could keep Paige safe, yeah I got mad at her earlier, but knowing Prue she'll put locks on the bedroom windows.
6. I need to tell Paige the real reason I am going to New York
Phoebe read the list twice and decided she would wait until Grams got better, if she got better, to leave for New York. Phoebe saw Paige's packed suitcase and took all of clothing out and put them in Paige's dresser. As she reached the bottom of the suitcase she saw a slip of paper with a phone number on it. Phoebe grabbed the phone next to her bed and dialed the number.
"Camp Skylark, I'm sorry but we are closed until further notice," a women on the other end said, getting ready to hang up.
"No wait!" phoebe said, "I'm looking for someone who works there or may have worked there, Sam."
"Sam Wilder?" the woman asked.
"Yes, yes that's him, is he there?"
"Who is calling?"
"Just tell him I know Paige Halliwell, he'll know who I am," Phoebe said.
"One moment," she said. Phoebe waited until someone answered on the other line.
"Who is this?" Sam asked.
"Phoebe Halliwell, I'm Paige's sister, her half- sister," she said.
"Look, you really shouldn't be talking to me, if your Grams knew what-," he said.
"I'm eighteen, Grams doesn't control me anymore, besides what she doesn't know won't hurt her," she said.
"Fine, but make it quick," he said.
"I have one question and one only, what are my sisters and me?" she asked.
"Phoebe I—I don't know what you're talking about," he said.
"That's BS Sam! I heard you and Grams talking earlier," she said.
"Look, there are things I can't tell you, not now, maybe ever, but if it's your destiny then you will know," he said.
"What is it you can't tell us? What's so wrong about it? Are we witches, demons, whitelighters or what?" Phoebe practically yelled not knowing the true meaning of the terms.
"Phoebe? Are you Ok?" Prue asked coming up the stairs.
"Tell me now!" Phoebe demanded.
"I'm sorry but I can't, good-bye Phoebe," he said and hung up. Phoebe groaned as Prue walked in looking at Paige's empty suitcase on the floor.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"I'm leaving Prue, after Grams gets better," she said.
"Sure you are," Prue smirked, "Why do you have Paige's suitcase then? She going to?"
"Was going with me, to New York," Phoebe said.
"Oh really, and how are you going to get there?" Prue said, laughing.
"This isn't a game, I am leaving, I have money saved, Paige was going to come but she's better here with you and Piper," Phoebe said.
"Grams won't let you leave," Prue said, "Besides you won't go through with it, you never do."
"One. I'm eighteen Grams doesn't control me anymore, no one does. Two. Things have changed I will go through with it after Grams gets better then I'll be leaving for New York," Phoebe said.
"What about Paige?" Prue asked, "You know Grams won't let her leave."
"She isn't going, she was going to, but that changed," Phoebe said quietly.
"What changed, finding out that she's our half-sister?" Prue asked.
"No, I don't care about that, she's getting hurt, I can't take care of her as well as you can," Phoebe said, telling only art of the truth.
"You've grown up quick within the last couple of days, but that still doesn't mean I won't try stopping you from leaving San Francisco," Prue said turning to leave.
"Don't tell Grams," Phoebe said, "Please."
"Phoebe, what if Grams doesn't get better, will you still leave?"
"Prue, Grams will get better, I know that, but if by some small chance she doesn't then yes I will still leave," Phoebe said. Prue left Phoebe and Paige's room and headed toward her room.
She entered her room and sat on her bed and called her fiancé, Roger.
"Hello?"
"Hey, can we meet up for dinner, like now I need to tell you something," Prue said.
"Uhh, sure how about Chinatown?" he asked.
"Sounds great I'll meet you in there in ten," Prue said. She put on clean clothes and before heading downstairs said goodbye to Grams who was reading in the living room.
"Where are you going?" Grams asked.
"Date, Chinatown," Prue said.
"But its family dinner night," Grams said.
"Half the family isn't here, Pheebs I'm sure won't come down, and Piper's with Paige," she said.
"Prudence, I don't know how many family dinners we will have left, even if it's just us three," Grams said.
"Yeah, but it won't be the same, Piper stopping Phoebe and me arguing, Paige laughing about well almost anything, and you asking us about our week, we need everyone at the table," Prue said. Grams sighed and motioned for Prue to go.
