A/N: Any lines from the original canon Is There A Woogy In The House? episode should be obvious to those who have seen the original episode. Hopefully those lines are few in number in comparison to what I have written myself. Enjoy this very much italicized chapter as it is all pretty much involving Paige's telepathy power/Phoebe's mind.

Chapter Thirty Six: Is There A Woogy In The House? (And Through Her Eyes)

Paige was Phoebe again. Except this time, she was at the manor. In fact, Phoebe was dressed for a party – not a party, but a dinner party. Phoebe was standing with a group of people in the living room of Halliwell manor. Paige recognised one of the people amongst the group that she – no, not her, Phoebe – was showing around. It was Claire.

Paige was shocked. Either she was in Phoebe's very recent memories or she was in the present mind of Phoebe, observing through Phoebe what was going on down below as the manor hosted a dinner party.

Phoebe turned to one of the guests and asked them, 'Would you like to see the grand tour?'

The guest smiled and nodded.

Phoebe led the way. Phoebe quickly pointed out the foyer which the guest seemed quite interested in the structure of. Then Phoebe led the guest – that Paige could tell from Phoebe's mind was called 'Professor Whittlesey' – up the staircase and showed the professor each of the bedrooms, except for the attic. Paige was glad about this. If they had gone into the attic, Phoebe and the professor would have found Paige's motionless body sat on the sofa.

Phoebe then hurried the professor down into the kitchen just as Prue, Piper, and Claire were leaving it.

'This is the kitchen,' said Phoebe. 'Very boring if you ask me.'

Then Phoebe pointed to the door that led to the basement, 'And down there. Down there is the basement. You should go and take a look.'

The guest smiled but said, 'Really, I don't need to see the basement.'

'Are you kidding? It's the best part of the house,' said Phoebe coldly. 'After you.'

The professor entered the basement, closely followed by Phoebe.

Phoebe shut the door and it went pitch black in the basement.

'What's going on?' asked the professor, frightened.

'Just keep going down,' said Phoebe menacingly.

'Let me go back up,' said the professor who was terrified.

The professor tried to go back up the basement stairs but Phoebe blocked the path.

'The only way is down,' sneered Phoebe.

Panicking, the professor continued down the steps. Paige watched through Phoebe's eyes – which were well adjusted to the darkness - as a dark shadow came out of the crack in the basement floor and engulfed the professor.

Paige now knew that Phoebe was possessed and that whatever had possessed Phoebe was also now possessing the professor. She had to get out of Phoebe's head and warn Prue and Piper.

'I am back in the attic,' thought Paige.

'You are not getting away that easily,' said a voice.

Everything around Paige went black. Suddenly, when Paige could see again she was in a white empty void. Where was she?

Paige looked at her hands and the clothes she was wearing. She even pulled strands of her hair in front of her eyes. She seemed to be back in her own body, even if she was only mentally there, wherever 'there' was.

Suddenly Phoebe appeared out of nowhere. She looked sinister.

'Where am I, Pheebs?' asked Paige.

'You are exactly where you put yourself,' said Phoebe. 'You are in my mind still. Except I cannot let you leave after what you saw.'

'Phoebe, you are possessed! I need to get out of here and help you!' said Paige.

'I am powerful,' said Phoebe. 'I don't want to lose this power, Paige.'

'Phoebe, I need to get out of here and warn Prue and Piper,' said Paige. 'The three of us can help you!'

'I don't need your help,' said Phoebe.

'So what are you going to do with me, then?' asked Paige.

'Keep you here, for now,' said Phoebe. 'You are not here physically, but I can find where you are in the manor and kill you. That will keep you quiet.'

'Phoebe, you know you don't want to do that,' said Paige, stepping back from her possessed sister.

'Yes I can,' cackled Phoebe. 'What are you going to do about it? You have no control over this power of yours! This is my mind! Only I have control over it.'

Paige rolled her eyes. 'Coming from the possessed person.'

'I am the evil talking here,' said Phoebe annoyed. 'So what I meant is I – not Phoebe – have control over Phoebe's mind.'

'That makes more sense,' said Paige.

Then Paige looked around at the void she was in.

'Is this how empty Phoebe's mind is?' Paige said with a smile as a joke.

'I don't think this is the time for you to joke,' sneered Phoebe.

'So are you just going to keep me here?' said Paige, gesturing to the empty void.

'Not exactly,' said Phoebe. 'I am going to let you go back to watching my every move. That way you can watch me kill your sisters and then you can watch me kill you too.'

'So even if you find my body, you won't kill me until after you have gotten to Prue and Piper?' asked Paige.

Phoebe sneered and nodded. 'It would be no fun to let you die before I kill the other two. I may as well let you watch their deaths before your own.'

Suddenly everything became black around Paige again. When she was finally able to see again, she was back to observing everything take place through Phoebe's eyes.

Phoebe was standing at the door of the manor. Prue and Piper were outside the manor.

'Who asked you to?' Piper asked Phoebe. 'And where is Paige? Don't harm her, Phoebe.'

'Okay, that's it,' said Prue, walking up the manor steps. 'We need to –'

As Prue attempted to enter the manor, she was thrown back by an electric shock. Prue landed on the grass and Piper ran down to the grass to check on Prue.

Piper looked back up at Phoebe and shouted, 'Phoebe, what's wrong with you? Why won't you let us in?'

'No, you can't, you shouldn't. You don't live here anymore!' Phoebe's voice suddenly changed to a demonic one as she said: 'He does.'

Phoebe shut the front door and walked back into the manor.

'Phoebe! What are you doing? Snap out of this! He does not have total control over you!' shouted Paige.

'Oh shut up, Paige,' shouted Phoebe.

'Oh, good, so I may be trapped in your mind, but you can at least hear me,' said Paige. 'Even if that was the demon that answered and not you. The real Pheebs must be in here somewhere.'

'She has no control,' said Phoebe. 'Plus I am the only one who can hear you.'

Paige laughed. 'If you are the only one who can hear me and you are replying to me, that means you are talking to yourself.'

'It is an empty house, Paige. I don't think anyone cares,' said Phoebe. 'Besides, you can go back into that empty void until I come face to face with your sisters again.'

Everything went black around Paige. Once again, Paige found herself in the empty void. Paige sat down on the solid floor of the emptiness.

'Phoebe!' Paige called. 'Phoebe! The real you is in here somewhere! Fight back for some control!'

Paige did not know how much time had passed because she was only present there mentally, but Phoebe's voice suddenly rang out in the void saying:

'I think you will enjoy seeing this, Paige.'

Paige suddenly found herself watching threw Phoebe's eyes again. Phoebe was standing at the door talking to Andy.

'Oh no,' thought Paige.

'Oh yes,' thought the voice inside Phoebe's head.

'Phoebe, hey,' said Andy. 'I stopped by to –'

Phoebe interrupted him and said, 'Just in time. I think there might be a gas leak and I am home all alone. Do you think you could look it over?'

'Sure,' said Andy.

'Don't Andy! It is a trap!' shouted Paige but she knew it was pointless even before the voice inside Phoebe's head said, 'He cannot hear you, Paige.'

Andy followed Phoebe into the manor. She guided him into the kitchen.

'It is down in the basement,' said Phoebe.

'The basement?' said Andy.

Phoebe pointed at the closed basement door and it opened by itself.

'Lead the way,' Phoebe told Andy.

Andy nodded and pulled a torch out of his pocket. He switched it on and walked down the steps.

'So where are Prue and Piper today?' Andy asked Phoebe as he walked slowly down the steps trying to locate the source of the gas-like smell.

'They are out and about,' said Phoebe. 'It is like they are trying to stay away from the house.'

The door closed behind Phoebe so the only light in the room was now coming from Andy's torch.

'Phoebe, do you want to reopen that door?' asked Andy.

'No,' said Phoebe evilly.

Andy turned to Phoebe with confusion on his face. Suddenly the dark shadow had come out of the crack in the basement floor and engulfed Andy.

'Andy!' shouted Paige automatically even though she knew he could not hear her. Only Phoebe could hear her.

Phoebe cackled.

Andy suddenly smiled, a disturbing smile.

Phoebe guided him back to the front door. She opened it and Andy was about to leave when Phoebe and Andy suddenly froze.

Paige was confused. She was still able to look out of Phoebe's frozen body, but why was Phoebe frozen?

Paige heard feet run past Phoebe into the manor and then stop.

'Oh my gosh.' It was Prue's voice. 'She's frozen.'

'Good,' Paige heard Piper say.

Prue and Piper were there, but if Piper had managed to freeze Phoebe that meant…

'… our powers don't work on good witches,' Paige heard Prue say which was basically what Paige was thinking.

Was Paige's mind not frozen because she was a good witch? Yet even though Phoebe was frozen, Paige could not escape and return to her own body.

'We've lost her,' Paige heard Prue say. 'Let's go get her back. Run.'

Paige heard the sisters run up the stairs. Phoebe and Andy suddenly unfroze.

'Bye Andy,' said Phoebe.

Phoebe shut the door on Andy.

'You are going to wish you had never done that,' shouted Paige. 'Prue and Piper are –'

Phoebe interrupted Paige. 'What about Prue and Piper? As you are inside Phoebe's mind, I can read you like an open book. They froze me? They are here? They are upstairs? Probably in the attic? Thanks for the information, Paige.'

Phoebe headed upstairs.

'Leave them alone!' shouted Paige.

Phoebe had reached the attic stairs, but she did not open the door. She listened in on Prue and Piper's conversation.

'All right, the Woogyman is a real demon, so Phoebe was right?' Prue was saying from inside the attic to Piper.

'Prue, how can you focus on that when Paige is sitting here unconscious? Paige! Paige! Can you hear me?' Piper was shouting.

'Shush, Piper,' said Prue. 'Phoebe is downstairs.'

'How can we help Phoebe and protect Paige's vacant body at the same time?' panicked Piper.

'I think I know where Paige has gone,' said Prue.

'Where?' asked Piper.

'Into Phoebe's mind,' said Prue.

'What? Why would she do that?' shouted Piper.

'Shush, Piper. Lower your voice, remember,' said Prue. 'I asked her to do it because I thought there was something up with Phoebe. It is all my fault if that thing has taken Paige hostage.'

'We cannot lose both sisters!' shouted Piper at a slightly lower volume.

'I know. That is why in order to protect Paige, we have to save Phoebe,' said Prue. 'Now how did that Woogyman spell go?'

'Something about a Woogyman and Grams fought it,' said Piper.

'That's it?' said Prue. 'That's all you remember?'

'Well, don't you remember anything?' asked Piper.

'It was sort of like a rhyme,' said Prue hesitantly. 'Sort of like a children's song…'

Piper replied, 'Well, we better figure it out fast, or…'

Piper opened the attic door and stopped when she saw Phoebe standing there. Piper went pale. Phoebe grabbed Piper and pushed her out of the attic. Phoebe walked into the attic and locked the door behind her.

'Prue! Prue!' Paige could hear Piper shouting from outside the attic.

Phoebe looked around the attic. Paige's dormant body sat on the sofa with her eyes closed and her legs crossed. She looked peaceful and was breathing, but obviously her mind was not there.

Prue noticed Phoebe staring at Paige's body and walked between Phoebe and Paige.

'Don't worry,' snarled Phoebe. 'I won't kill her until I have killed you and Piper. I want her to watch this all happen.'

'You have trapped Paige in your head?' said Prue. She was ready to defend herself at any moment.

'Yes,' said Phoebe. 'Poor Paige can see and hear everything that I am seeing and doing but has as little control over it as Phoebe does.'

'Paige! If you can hear me, try and find Phoebe in there – the real Phoebe. I know you can do this!' shouted Prue. 'I will make sure Piper, your body, and I are safe. Find the real Phoebe!'

Phoebe cackled and a sword appeared in her hands.

'Any fantasies about how you want to die?' asked Phoebe.

'Phoebe, listen to me, this isn't you,' said Prue, trying now to help get the real Phoebe back in control.

'Give the girl a prize!' laughed Phoebe.

Piper could still be heard calling Prue's name from outside the attic.

'Look, whoever is doing this hasn't completely beaten you, otherwise we would be dead by now,' reasoned Prue.

'Really?' said Phoebe.

Paige suddenly found herself in the empty void again. However, this time, she could still hear what was going on in the attic even though she could not see it anymore.

Phoebe's figure appeared in the void next to Paige.

'Phoebe?' Paige asked.

'Paige!' Phoebe shouted and hugged her sister.

'Phoebe, this is really you?' asked Paige.

Phoebe nodded. 'Paige, I don't know how to take back control.'

'You are getting there,' said Paige. 'You managed to make yourself appear in this void and talk to me. You were not able to do that before.'

Phoebe and Paige heard Prue's voice echo through the void: 'Phoebe, you were stronger than him.'

'Listen to Prue, Phoebe,' said Paige. 'You can do this. You are stronger than him. She is right.'

Phoebe shook her head. 'I can't do this,' Phoebe said, tears dripping down her cheeks.

'Phoebe, you were stronger than him before, and you still are now,' said Paige.

Phoebe opened her mouth to speak again. Her voice echoed around the void as she said, 'No I was not. That is why he chose me.'

Paige smiled. 'Phoebe! You took control just now! Did you not notice the echo? That meant that Prue could hear you!'

However, they then heard the demonic voice echo, 'But now I am stronger than you.'

'He is too powerful,' Phoebe said to Paige. 'I can't…'

'Yes, you can!' Paige said.

Suddenly Paige felt a jolt and felt herself thrown from Phoebe's body.

Paige opened her eyes. She was being carried telekinetically down the staircase at a fast pace. She saw Prue reach the foyer and watched as Piper tried to exit the manor but got thrown back by electricity.

'We are locked in this house, our sister's trying to kill us, and our other sister is comatose!'

'Prue? Piper?' Paige said. Her voice was croaky as it had been almost a day since she had last spoken.

Prue was so shocked to hear Paige's voice that she caused Paige to fall to the floor.

'Ow,' said Paige.

'I am so sorry, Paige,' said Prue.

Paige stood up, rubbing her head. 'For what? Getting me trapped inside possessed Phoebe's mind or dropping me just now?'

'For both,' said Prue. 'Sorry. I did not expect you to come back so soon after what happened when we came face to face with possessed Phoebe.'

'Yeah, I don't know how I suddenly came back to my body,' said Paige. 'I had no control over my powers in there. The Woogyman had me trapped.'

'Are you okay?' said Piper. 'I was so worried about you when I found you in the attic. Prue had not told me where you had gone off to.'

'I am fine now… but Phoebe is not,' said Paige. 'What happened just before you two came down here?'

'Why?' asked Prue.

'I need to figure out how I got back to my own body,' said Paige.

'Well, Phoebe was about to attack me with a sword, so I used my telekinesis to fling Phoebe across the room,' said Prue. She did not look happy at the thought of what she had done to her sister but it was most likely that this had been Prue's only option. 'I then used to telekinesis to pick you up, unlocked the attic door, and came fleeing down here with Piper.'

'Which was pointless because we are trapped in the house anyway,' added Piper.

Paige suddenly remembered what had happened when she had first used her telepathic powers with Leo. When he had fallen from the chandelier in his memory, she had been jolted back to her real body. Therefore, since Paige had been inside Phoebe's mind – even though it was her present mind and not her memory – maybe the jolt of Phoebe being thrown across the room had sent Paige back to her own body.

Prue, Piper, and Paige made their way into the conservatory.

'The answer must be in Grams' Woogyman story,' said Prue.

'Which neither of us remembers,' said Piper.

Prue and Piper turned to Paige.

'Paige, you grew up around magical people,' said Prue. 'Did you ever hear the Woogyman story?'

Paige shook her head. 'Sorry, I haven't. It was the Wendigo story that I always heard.'

'Well then it is up to us two to try and remember,' said Piper to Prue.

Paige had sat down on the sofa in the conservatory and crossed her legs. Prue and Piper looked at Paige.

'Paige, what are you doing?' asked Piper.

'I am going back into Phoebe's mind,' stated Paige.

'Paige! You were lucky to get out of there before,' said Prue.

'I know,' said Paige.

'So why are you going back in?' asked Prue. 'What if you cannot get out again?'

'Then just throw Phoebe across the room again,' smiled Paige.

'Why are you even risking going back into her mind?' said Piper. 'With you out here, we have the Power of Three formed. We could try a Power of Three spell.'

'I am going back in there for two reasons,' said Paige.

'What are they?' asked Prue.

'Number one: To help Phoebe take back control,' said Paige. 'And number two: To take control of my own power.'

A/N: I hope it all made sense. I was not too sure how to write the parts where Paige was speaking to Phoebe in the void clearly, as those are different to Paige observing things through Phoebe's eyes.
