Chapter Thirty Seven: Is There A Woogy In The House? (And Taking Control)

Paige ignored Prue and Piper's protests. Paige closed her eyes and thought: 'I am myself. I am going back to that empty void within Phoebe's mind.'

Paige felt the now familiar dizziness that showed her she had jumped into Phoebe's mind.

Paige opened her eyes. She was back in the white void. This time she was not alone. Phoebe's figure sat on the ground. She was hunched over and covering her face with her hands. She had not noticed Paige appear.

'Phoebe?' said Paige.

Phoebe looked up and saw Paige. She smiled.

'Paige? You are back!' said Phoebe. 'You disappeared before!'

'I know,' said Paige. 'I am back now though. And I am going to help you take back control.'

'I told you I cannot,' said Phoebe, all happiness disappearing from her face.

'Trust me, you can,' said Paige.

'Paige, this is the second time that I have been possessed,' said Phoebe. 'I could not take back control that time. I know I cannot this time.'

Phoebe looked away from Paige, but then with an inquisitive expression turned back to Paige.

'You escaped from my mind?' Phoebe said.

'Yes,' said Paige.

'Then why did you come back?' asked Phoebe. 'You could have tried to save me with a Power of Three spell like last time I was possessed.'

'Piper suggested a Power of Three spell,' laughed Paige.

'Then why did you not go for that?' asked Phoebe annoyed.

'I felt the urge to prove to you that you can take back control by yourself,' said Paige.

'It is not by myself if you are here,' mumbled Phoebe.

'I am here as support,' smiled Paige. 'Plus I am here to prove to your Woogyman that he cannot control my power while I am in here.'

'So you came back into my mind just to prove that you could leave it without being trapped in it?' said Phoebe.

'And to support you too,' added Paige. She did not like how Phoebe had put it. Phoebe had made her sound so vain.

The void suddenly echoed with the voices of Prue and Piper talking.

'He is close to them!' squeaked Phoebe.

'Phoebe, you know the spell that will vanquish him,' said Paige.

'I do?' said Phoebe.

'Apparently it is the story that Grams used to tell you,' said Paige. 'Prue and Piper do not remember it, but you do. All you need to do is take enough control to say the spell.'

Phoebe shook her head. 'I cannot…'

'Yes you can,' said Paige firmly.

Phoebe's voice suddenly echoed around the void: 'Prue! Piper! Help me!'

'That was not me,' the real Phoebe said to Paige.

'I realised that,' said Paige. 'He must be trying to trick Prue and Piper.'

Phoebe looked extremely worried.

'Phoebe, try and take control,' said Paige. 'Even if you cannot get enough control to make yourself say the spell, just yet… Er, try and see if you can see what is going on.'

Phoebe closed her eyes and concentrated. Suddenly, the empty void around them filled with an image of where the possessed Phoebe stood. They could see what the possessed Phoebe was seeing now.

Possessed Phoebe was standing in the basement.

'Please, you got to help me!' shouted possessed Phoebe. 'Down in the basement!'

Prue and Piper had still not left the kitchen.

Again possessed Phoebe shouted, 'Help! Please, I need you!'

Paige and the real Phoebe watched from Phoebe's mind as Prue and Piper entered the basement.

'Phoebe?' said Piper.

As they walked down the basement stairs slowly, possessed Phoebe somehow reappeared by the basement door so as Prue and Piper were below her on the stairs.

'What took you so long?' sneered possessed Phoebe.

Prue and Piper saw her. Prue squinted at the basement door and it closed on possessed Phoebe so as she was unable to enter the basement.

Although Paige could now see whatever possessed Phoebe was seeing, this time it was like looking at a television screen. Therefore, she could still see her own self and the real Phoebe stood beside her watching all of this.

'Phoebe,' Paige said to the real Phoebe. 'You have managed to let us talk and see what is going on at the same time. I could not even speak to you when I first entered your mind. You can gain enough control to say the spell.'

'I… I don't know…' said the real Phoebe.

'You can,' said Paige. 'Phoebe, I cannot do this for you.'

'Paige, I am scared…' said the real Phoebe.

'So am I,' said Paige. 'And so are Prue and Piper. They need you to fight through this and gain control right now.'

The real Phoebe suddenly gasped. Paige looked onto the screen to see what was going on outside in the physical world. Possessed Phoebe stood still with her hand on a photo of Grams. Maybe both possessed Phoebe and real Phoebe were having a premonition?

The real Phoebe fell against Paige. Paige held her up for support.

'You can do this, Phoebe,' said Paige. 'Take control. Say the spell.'

The real Phoebe nodded. As she spoke, her words echoed around the void – by now Paige knew that this meant that the real Phoebe was speaking these words out loud in the physical world too.

'I am light,

I am one too strong to fight.

Return to dark where shadows dwell,

You cannot have this Halliwell.

Go away, and leave my sight,

And take with you this endless night.'

Paige could see the Woogyman disappear back into the crack of the basement.

The real Phoebe that was standing beside her disappeared.

Prue and Piper embraced her – no, they embraced Phoebe. Paige was back to watching everything through Phoebe's eyes. Paige was no longer standing in the void as her own self.

'Is Paige still in your head?' asked Piper.

'I think she is,' laughed Phoebe. She was back to herself again. 'Paige, get out of my head and come and join the hug!'

Paige took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

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

Paige felt her mind jump and stood up from the sofa she had been sat on. She felt a little dazed. Paige opened her eyes and made her way into the kitchen where her three sisters stood smiling.

Phoebe hugged Paige when she saw her wander in.

'Thank you, Paige,' said Phoebe.

Paige smiled as she wandered over to the cupboard to grab a glass and then to fill it with water. The form of advanced telepathy she had just used had given her a headache, but she was happy to have Phoebe back to normal.

Paige took a sip of water and then said, 'No problem, Pheebs. You showed the Woogyman who's boss.'

'Something does not make sense,' said Phoebe.

Prue, Piper, and Paige turned to Phoebe to find out what she was on about.

'Why did Paige decide to go into my head in the first place?' asked Phoebe.

'Er…' said Paige, trying not to give Prue away by looking over at her.

Paige heard Prue sigh from beside her. Prue said, 'Pheebs, it was me who asked Paige to. I was worried about you and I was right.'

'This is a first,' said Phoebe.

'What's that?' asked Paige.

'The fact that I am happy to hear Prue say that she was right,' said Phoebe.

'Wow, that is a first,' laughed Piper.

'Too bad Prue admitting she was right is not a rare thing to hear,' laughed Paige.

'Too bad? What do you mean?' laughed Prue. 'I love admitting that I am right!'

'Oh no!' said Phoebe.

'What?' asked Prue.

'Well, while I was possessed,' said Phoebe. 'I kept sending –'

'Neighbours to the basement and turning them evil too?' asked Piper. 'We noticed. We spoke to Darryl before we got back into the manor.'

'Yes, but I also –'

Prue interrupted Phoebe with a gasp. 'When Piper and I broke into the manor, we froze you and Andy, because Andy was leaving! Andy was… You let that thing take Andy over?'

'Prue, it wasn't me!' said Phoebe with so much guilt in her voice.

'Prue, I was in Phoebe's mind when that happened,' said Paige. 'Phoebe had no control. In fact, you did not need to be in her mind to notice how little control she had.'

Phoebe smiled at Paige, glad to see her little sister back her up.

'Thanks, Paige,' said Phoebe.

'I know you had little control, but… I mean, Andy… He… What if he..?' Prue could not finish her sentence.

Prue ran to the foyer and her sisters followed her.

'Where are you going, Prue?' Piper asked as Prue put her jacket on.

'I am going to the police station to talk to Andy,' said Prue. 'I need to know that he is okay.'

Before anyone could interject, Prue had left the manor, leaving the door wide open behind her.

'Aren't you going to go after Prue?' Paige asked Piper.

Piper smiled nervously. 'Last time I tried going through that door I was thrown across the room so I am not in a rush to leave the house just yet.'

Phoebe and Paige exchanged looks. For the fun of it and to prove a point, they pushed Piper out of the door.

'Hey!' moaned Piper as she stood on the doorstep.

'See. The manor is back to normal now,' laughed Phoebe.

Piper did not come back into the manor. She decided instead to walk towards her car.

'And where are you going?' Phoebe called to Piper.

'I am going to see how Josh is,' said Piper.

Piper drove off and Phoebe shut the door.

'Who's Josh?' Paige asked Phoebe.

'He was one of the guests at Prue's dinner party,' explained Phoebe. 'He annoyed Piper a lot.'

'In other words, Piper likes him?' said Paige with a cheeky grin.

Phoebe grinned too. 'I think she does.'

There was a knock on the door.

'Are we expecting anyone?' Paige asked Phoebe.

Phoebe shook her head.

Paige opened the door. Andy was there.

'Andy?' said both Phoebe and Paige.

'Hi there,' said Andy. 'Is Prue home?'

'No,' said Paige. 'She just left to find you at the police station. She wanted to know whether you were okay.'

'So the four of you have heard what I did?' asked Andy sheepishly.

'Er, bits of it,' lied Phoebe. 'What exactly did you do?'

'I went through a moment of insanity after leaving this place and tried to shoot Darryl,' said Andy.

'Oh my gosh!' gasped Paige. 'Did you..?'

'Luckily Darryl pinned me to the ground before I could,' said Andy. 'He managed to snap me out of it.'

'That's good,' said Phoebe. 'I am so sorry, Andy.'

'Sorry? What do you need to be sorry about?' asked Andy.

'Don't mind, Phoebe,' said Paige. 'Phoebe is just as shocked as I am, but it seems whatever happened to you affected most of the neighbourhood. I think it even affected Phoebe, whatever it was. Do the police have any idea what caused it?'

Andy shrugged. 'I have been suspended for two weeks due to what I did, so I don't know what the police department thinks.'

'Oh, Andy,' said Phoebe.

Andy smiled weakly.

'So why did you want to see Prue?' asked Phoebe.

'I was just in the neighbourhood, not sure what to do as I had no work,' said Andy. 'So I thought I would pop by and say hi.'

Paige laughed.

'What?' said Andy.

'Even though you are suspended, you still hide your personal reasons behind work,' said Paige.

Andy smiled. 'Can I wait here until Prue comes back or not?'

Phoebe and Paige moved to the side so as Andy could enter the house. They ushered Andy into the living room to take a seat on the sofa.

As Andy sat down, he turned to Phoebe, and said as a joke, 'What? I don't get to see the basement this time, Phoebe?'

Phoebe went pale.

'Are you okay, Phoebe?' asked Andy, concern in his voice.

'Phoebe does not like the basement,' said Paige quickly.

'Oh,' said Andy, shrugging.

After half an hour of conversation with Andy, the three of them went silent, because they had heard the front door open.

Prue and Piper walked into the foyer together. They were having a conversation of their own which was audible enough to hear from the living room.

'So Morris said that it was only a two week suspension, which is why Andy was not at the station when I went to check on him,' said Prue. 'Morris would not tell me what Andy had done though.'

'Prue, I am sure Andy did not do anything too drastic or he would have been more than just suspended,' said Piper.

Phoebe and Paige exchanged looks.

Paige concentrated on sending her thoughts across to Phoebe and only to Phoebe.

'Do you think I should let Prue and Piper know that Andy is here before their conversation starts mentioning magic?' thought Paige.

Phoebe nodded as a response to Paige's thought.

'Prue? Piper?' thought Paige.

'Paige?' thought Prue.

'Paige?' thought Piper. 'Was that your voice in my head or are you calling my name? It is hard to tell the difference.'

'In your head, Piper,' thought Paige.

'Wait, you are thinking to Piper and me at the same time?' thought Prue.

'Prue, why can I hear your thoughts too?' thought Piper.

'Maybe Paige has managed to open up a network, because she is trying to think to both of us at the same time,' thought Prue.

'Wow. You are getting good at this telepathy stuff, Paige,' thought Piper.

'Prue! Piper! Stop thinking and listen!' thought Paige. 'Andy is in the living room with Phoebe and me. We could hear your conversation from here and I did not want you to start discussing witch stuff in case Andy hears.'

'You had me at 'Andy', Paige,' thought Prue.

Prue rushed into the living room. 'Andy! Hi!'

Piper walked into the living room and said, 'Hey Andy. Sorry to hear about your suspension.'

Andy smiled. 'Hi Prue. Hi Piper. It's okay. It's just I don't know what to do with myself for the next two weeks. I thought I would stop by and say hi.'

'Except when he turned up, he specifically asked for Prue,' added Paige with a smile.

'Paige!' shouted Prue and Andy at the same time.

Paige shrugged and headed for the kitchen. Piper and Phoebe followed her.

'You really do like to push Prue and Andy together,' laughed Phoebe.

'Someone needs to take control of their relationship or it won't go anywhere,' said Paige.

'I don't think that is what Prue was referring to yesterday morning when she told you to take more control,' said Piper.

Paige smiled and Phoebe laughed.

'Finding a loophole in Prue's annoying orders is always funny,' said Phoebe. 'She tells you to do one thing. You do it, with your own minor changes, and however much she moans about what you did, you can just tell her that you were only doing what she was saying to do.'

'Phoebe!' said Piper.

'What?' said Phoebe.

'You are not really being a good role model for Paige,' said Piper.

'Piper, you cannot suggest that because I am the next oldest after Paige that I am her role model,' said Phoebe. 'That would make you my role model as you are the next oldest after me. That would definitely make you a bad role model seeing as how I have turned out.'

Paige laughed.

'Paige, do you really find what Phoebe just said funny?' asked Piper.

'No,' said Paige. 'What I find funny is that she just found a loophole in what you said to her in the same way that I found a loophole in Prue's 'take control' instruction.'

Piper rolled her eyes.

'Is that rolling eyes thing becoming a habit, Piper?' laughed Paige.

'What do you mean?' asked Piper. 'I only roll my eyes as often as you, Prue, and Phoebe.'

Paige shrugged.

Piper rolled her eyes at Paige's lack of explanation.

'Paige is right, you just did it again,' laughed Phoebe.

'This conversation of ours has seemed so unimportant that I feel like it is just to fill time while Prue and Andy have their conversation before we get to the part where we are looking through the Book of Shadows with Prue,' sighed Piper.

'I thought I was the one who had premonitions,' said Phoebe.

'Oh, you don't need to see the future to know that we are going to look through the Book after Andy has left,' laughed Paige.

'I didn't know…' said Phoebe.

Piper smiled and said as a joke, 'Maybe that is why you were the sister who got the power of premonition. You need magical assistance to help you think ahead.'

'Hey!' said Phoebe and she hit Piper playfully.

The three sisters were silent for a few seconds.

Phoebe turned to Paige and broke the silence by saying, 'Paige, how strong do you think your telepathy powers will get.'

'Didn't we just discuss that you were the one with the premonitions, not us?' said Paige. 'In other words, how am I supposed to know?'

Phoebe shrugged. 'I was thinking… Do you remember when Prue, Piper, and I said the Relinquishment spell?'

Paige nodded. 'What about it?'

'Do you remember the premonition I had?' said Phoebe.

'Er…' hesitated Paige, trying to think back to the day. 'Oh yeah. You had a premonition that was extremely inaccurate.'

Piper looked at Phoebe and Paige inquisitively. She had not been present when Phoebe had had this said premonition so wanted to know more.

Phoebe nodded. 'I was thinking that maybe your telepathy power gets really advanced, so advanced that you can project yourself – like you did into my mind today – as well as another into someone else's mind.'

'You think that I was projecting you and me into Piper's mind in your vision?' asked Paige.

'Yes,' said Phoebe. 'It would explain why Prue was not there. She was probably protecting our unconscious bodies.'

Paige shrugged. 'Maybe. Has that premonition been bothering you then?'

Phoebe sighed. 'Sort of. I just wanted to find an explanation for it.'

'Maybe you have,' said Paige shrugging.

As expected, once Andy had left, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige found themselves in the attic with Prue, with the Book of Shadows open in front of them.

Prue had a pen in her hand and they had the Book open on a blank page.

'Who is adding the spell to the Book?' Prue asked.

'Phoebe,' said Paige, and Piper agreed.

'Are you sure?' asked Phoebe, blushing.

'We need to warn the next generation of witches if the Woogyman returns,' said Prue.

'The best person to warn them is the one who was the last to defeat him,' said Piper.

Phoebe nodded and began to write the spell into the Book.

A/N: So I thought this story should end where the canon version ended. No Leo in this story. I am not too sure just yet whether Leo will make another appearance before Love Hurts or not. It depends on whether I think Paige needs him for her storylines in the episodes before that one. We'll see.
