A/N: As always I would like to thank my readers as I continue writing this story! I had a total of 6 reviews for the last chapter!
LatinBeauty008: Paige's sickness will likely be found out when Prue gets custody of Paige. Once their DNA comes back and Prue goes through court stuff you'll know.
Sammy Ocean: I'm glad you like this story. I know someone who was having the same issue. There's no problem anymore though right?
MissyCole23: Where you live is about a 13 hour drive east from me. I live in Ohio. Thanks; I try to always make my chapters the best I can. You should make an account; you can use the name you are using now and PM other writers and put stories on fave and alert lists so you know when they are updated.
Eillibsniknej: Paige will be getting to bond with all her sisters soon. In this chapter actually Paige has a bonding moment with another sister. As for her sickness, it'll come up later in my story.
Wya: I try to update quickly; sometimes school or other drama gets in the way unfortunately. I do plan to do something with the sickness; I just don't know what. Any suggestions?
Lizardmomma: Paige will open up then close, then open, then close. A long repeating process; she'll open up sooner or later when it comes to her parents' death.
Chapter 11
I don't know if Prue followed me upstairs. I went into her room and listened for her to knock on the door. She didn't though. I slipped out and went to the roof. I sat there for a while and I saw one of the sister's cars pull up in the driveway. I slipped back inside. I heard a knock on the door.
"Paige?" Piper asked. I didn't want to open the door.
"Leave me alone," I said lying down on the bed.
"Paige, please open the door," Piper said. I didn't say anything; I heard a click from the lock as Piper opened the door with a key.
"Go away," I said not looking at her. She got on the bed and she kneeled next to me. She brushed through my hair with her fingers.
"Piper?" I asked.
"Hmm?" she asked.
"Will I ever move on? Will I be okay?" I whispered.
"You'll be okay missy Paige," she said.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Because your sisters and I are okay," she said.
"What do you mean?" I asked turned around.
"Our mom and Grams passed away. Our mom when we were young, not long after you were born possibly, and our Grams about three years ago," she said. Their mom was my biological mom. If I had grown up with them, if they were my sisters, I wouldn't have known her anyway. It's not like I cared. I wasn't sure if they were even my sisters.
"I don't think I can move on," I said.
"You will; I know you will," she said. I pulled my knees to my chest and rested my head on them. Piper wrapped her arms around me.
"I doubt it," I said.
"You shouldn't Paige. You'll be okay," Piper said.
"What if I won't?" I asked.
"You will don't worry. We, our sisters and I, will be with you all the way," she said.
"What if the DNA tests come back negative? What if I'm not your sister?" I asked.
"We'll still help you through this," Piper said.
"Why?" I asked. If we weren't family why would they still help me? Right now I was probably just being a pain.
"Because Paige, you've become family to us," Piper said.
"All I've been is a pain," I said.
"We're all pains every now and then, Phoebe will be home soon. You want to come down stairs?" she asked.
"Sure," I said.
"Do you want to help me with dinner?" she asked me.
"No, and um no spaghetti please," I said Piper only nodded as she went into the kitchen. I sat on the couch as Prue plopped down next to me.
"Hi," she said.
"Hey," I said.
"You okay?" she asked.
"I'm getting better," I said,
"That's good," she said.
"Yeah, um earlier you said I wasn't ready for something, what was it?" I asked.
"You'll know when you're ready," she said.
"What type of answer is that?" I asked.
"The type of answer you're going to get," she said. I folded my arms across my chest.
"Then I'll sit here until I get a real answer," I said.
"Stubborn I see," she said, "I'm just as stubborn as or more so than you are," she said.
"Care to test that?" I dared her.
"We have till dinner, who ever holds out longest wins," Prue said.
"Wins what?" I asked.
"What do you want?" she asked.
"A real answer," I stated.
"Paige, I really don't think you're ready," she said her voice softening.
"How will I know if I am?" I shot back, "When I have no clue what it is?"
"All you have to do is think about it. How do you think we found out you were our sister in the first place?" she asked.
"You found my birth certificate. Then when I told you my name, you told me," I said. Before Prue could say anything Phoebe came in the house with some guy.
"Piper set an extra plate! Cole's here!" Phoebe called into the kitchen.
"Hey Paige, Prue," she said, "Paige meet my boyfriend Cole. Cole, meet my baby sister Paige."
"Nice to meet you," he said extending his hand. I got this weird vibe about him. I shook his hand lightly then pulled my hand back.
"Cole's a lawyer, helping us get guardianship of you," Prue explained.
"Oh," I said.
"So what paint color did you get for your room?" Phoebe asked. I looked at my lap.
"We didn't get paint today," I whispered.
"You didn't?" Phoebe asked, "Why not?"
"Phoebe!" Prue snapped. She stood up and dragged Phoebe into the kitchen. Cole sat down next to me on the couch.
"Hi," I said.
"Hi," he said, "So you're fifteen?"
"Sixteen actually," I said.
"Sorry, I just assumed," he was saying.
"I get it a lot. I'm used to it," I said.
"Why don't you guess how old I am?" he asked.
"Forty-two," I said knowing he wasn't that old; he laughed.
"Dinner's ready," Piper said. I sat down next to Prue. Was Cole mortal? I wanted to talk about possibly going to Magic School.
"So, um about that school," I said after I finished half my dinner.
"He knows Paige," Prue said.
"Oh!" I said, "So um are you a. What are you?"
"Paige!"Prue hissed at me.
"That's okay Prue. I'm half- mortal half-demon," he said, I nearly choked on my dinner.
"You're a demon?" I asked after Prue gave me a glass of water.
"Only half," Phoebe said, "He can keep his demon half under control."
"So who am I allowed to date? Demons? Mortals? Witches?" I asked.
"We are not talking about dating right now," Prue said.
"Why not? I'm sixteen, I've dated before," I said,
"We'll talk about that later. You were talking about some school?" Prue asked.
"Oh um I want to look at the school. Like go around and stuff, before I choose to go there. If I go there," I said.
"Okay, we can set up an appointment with the Headmaster, after school on this or next Monday," Prue said.
"School?" I asked,
"Do you want to miss more school?" Phoebe asked, "I thought you wanted to do better?"
"I do but it's not like I could go back even if I wanted to," I said.
"Why not?" Phoebe asked.
"I was suspended," I said.
"What?" Phoebe asked, "But you said you were going to drop off your homework at school."
"Yeah, um I lied," I said.
"Paige," Phoebe said.
"I lied whoopdy f**cking do," I said.
"Paige! Ugh, okay why and when were you suspended?" Phoebe asked. I didn't say anything.
"Why don't we talk about this after dinner?" Piper suggested. I smiled at Piper.
"Fine," Phoebe said. How I wished I wasn't suspended. My parents' had talked to the principal then we were going home; or we were supposed to. I chewed my food not saying anything.
"So Paige do you want to hear about how we got our powers?" Prue asked.
"Sure," I said. Phoebe found the B.O.S and read the spell which brought them their powers. Piper had the power to blow things up and freeze time. Prue had the power of telekinesis and astral projection. Phoebe had the power of premonition and levitation. I was the odd one out; I wasn't part of the Power of Three. Leo started telling me about Whitelighters; and their jobs. As far as we knew the only power I had on my whitelighter side was orbing. There were also the powers of healing, glamouring, hovering, and sensing.
"So um what happened to that demon earlier?" I asked changing the subject.
"There was a demon attack?" Cole asked.
"Honey, we're the Charmed Ones. When aren't there demon attacks?" Phoebe asked him.
"What kind of demon was he?" I asked.
"Paige you really shouldn't worry about it," Prue said, "We have it under control."
"So he's alive?" I asked.
"He won't much longer," Piper said.
"How can I help?" I asked.
"You won't be helping Paige," Prue said.
"But I said the spell earlier," I said.
"Yes and you got thrown into the stair railing," Prue said.
"It was my first time trying to vanquish a demon," I said, "How did your first demon vanquish go?"
"Look even if you could help the Elders wouldn't allow it," Phoebe said.
"So?" I said. Why did it matter what they allowed?
"Paige trust me going against the Elders isn't something you want to do," Piper said.
"They nearly took Leo away from me because he's a whitelighter and I'm a witch. It's not allowed," she said.
"But I'm half whitelighter," I said.
"Yes you are," she said.
"I'm confused. If whitelighters and witches aren't allowed to be together; at least not before you, then how am I here?" I asked, "No wait I don't want to know."
"Are you sure?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes, I'm sure. I don't care," I said, I backed my chair up, "Excuse me." I looked at Prue and she nodded her approval. They resumed talking when I went upstairs. I really was the odd one out.
