Chapter 35
Paige's POV
"We need to talk," Prue said sitting next to me and Piper sat next down to Phoebe.
"Prue, I couldn't help that the darklighter came after me," I said, "They're always going to come."
"I didn't want to talk about the darklighter," Prue said, "He's the last thing I want to talk about. No, I want to talk about rules."
"We already did. You sort of yelled them at me downstairs," I said.
"You obviously didn't hear them otherwise you wouldn't have orbed off," Prue said.
"I orbed off because of the darklighter! It was the only choice I had!" I shot back.
"You should have orbed downstairs. We would have protected you!" Prue said.
"I don't need protection Prue!" I said, "I'm not a kid anymore!" Prue stood up and looked down at me, glaring.
"Paige you're sixteen. You're going around fighting demons on your own! You have no idea how childish you're acting." I stood up.
"Just 'cause I care about protecting people doesn't mean I'm childish." I said, "I didn't go after those demons, I found them on accident. I acted and I saved several lives," at least I hoped I had. She opened her mouth to say something.
"What did you want to talk about anyway?" I snapped.
"Don't you use that tone with me!" Prue snapped back. Piper, the ever so mediator, stepped in.
"Let's not fight," she said stepping in between us. I sat next to Phoebe and Piper and Prue sat down on my bed.
"I wanted to set some ground rules down," Prue said, "First, no orbing without telling us where you are going, second, no going after demons without us. Third and final no using your magic for what you want."
"I wouldn't try that, there are consequences," I said.
"You mean all of them right?" Prue asked. No, I meant the last one; I didn't care about the consequences that I suffered from her. A few groundings, please orbing out was easy.
"Yeah, right," I said, "but when I use my magic for personal gain there are magical consequences. Like when I landed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean earlier this summer."
"When you were wearing that black dress with red flowers, you got that from England after you landed in the water didn't you?"
"Actually I had been to England before that, but I returned to England after I landed in the water."
"How? How could we not notice that you had been gone?" Piper asked.
"You were all busy with work and stuff; I was by myself most of the summer. I made sure I was here for breakfast and dinner. I hid my bike so when you did come home and wasn't here you'd think I was out for a ride or with," I stopped, "look none of us were home much this summer."
"That doesn't excuse that," Piper said.
"Piper even if you had called for me, like up to my room, I would have orbed home. I could hear you," I said, "I could sense that you would have been calling me."
"But," Piper said.
"Pipe, it's how magic works," I said, "I don't understand all of it but it's how it works. Look, I have to finish studying." I grabbed my Latin book and opened to chapter three. I felt them staring at me.
"What? Studying Latin helps with the Book of Shadows," I said. Phoebe burst out laughing.
"What?!" I asked slamming my book shut, "What is so funny?"
"You! It's just how you acted last year. Your nose always stuck in some textbook," she said.
"And remind me how that's funny?" I asked.
"You've changed so much," Prue said her voice gentle.
"Yeah, I have," I said, "I'm okay with that. I know that what I'm meant to do take some sacrifices."
"Paige you shouldn't have to make any sacrifice," Piper said, "Neither of us should."
"Say that when you tell your best friend of who you really are and they don't accept you," I said, "I sacrificed most of my summer for this and if it means I have to sacrifice part of my life fighting demons to protect people, I will. I'm going to the attic." I orbed out.
3rd POV
"What do we do? How are supposed to stop her from going after demons?" Piper asked.
"I'll keep her distracted," Phoebe said, "And when she's supposed to be at school, we'll use the crystal to scry for her."
"But we won't be home during the day," Prue pointed out.
"For the next week, I highly doubt she'll leave school when it's just starting. I have to finish some stuff up in New York," Phoebe said.
"I'll think of something I guess," Prue said, "I'll look at the book upstairs later."
"And I'll go get Paige," Piper said.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter! Next chapter will be about two or three times longer! Please review! I promise when I get to 130 reviews I'll write the next chapter as quick as possible!
