Part two in a two part story
Disclaimer: Charmed is a trademark of Warner Bros.. aka Voldemort of Harry Potter because like Voldemort, The WB are a bunch of bastards. Thank you. Holly Marie Combs(the best!), Rose McGowan, Alyssa Milano, Brian Krause, Julian McMahon, and Dorian Gregory are all in contract with the devil(tsk.. tsk). Shannen Doherty needs therapy so she isn't so full of herself! The story and all the characters you don't know belong to me. (If you don't know who Paige Halliwell is, she is the new sister for the series Charmed. Not mine.)
(c) 2001
A/N: This is another pretty popular story in my Charmed Collection. I decided to write a second part to this story because you asked for it. PLEASE R/R!! If you haven't read the first part.. You will not understand this plot. If you don't watched Charmed.. Well sorry, you will not get this. Cept whoever I explained it to.
~*~(Time lapse-The Halliwell Manor)~*~
Paige couldn't believe the words that had just came out of her mouth. She excepted to kind of maybe explain who she was then said that she was the two girls' sister. Not spring it on them. Piper looked at Paige like she was a dangerous bug. There was almost a red tint in her eyes.
"I don't know who the hell you are, but get away now."
By this moment, the other woman, Phoebe rushed over to a distraught Piper to see what was going on.
"Excuse me. What can I help you with?" asked Phoebe wrapping her arm around Piper who was about to explode.
"She says she is our sister Phoebe!"
Phoebe took a step back from Paige. Both girls gave Paige the dirtiest look.
"Please I beg of you! I have this infomation about your mother.. my mother."
"Do you understand? We have just lost our sister! We don't need someone posing to be a "long lost sister" here!" sobbed Piper.
"There isn't anything more to say." said Phoebe before slamming the door in Paige's face.
Paige stood there for a minute but it felt longer. She was right. They wanted nothing to do with her. Tears welled up in her eyes and Paige wiped them quickly out. She had tried.
~*~(Time lapse- The Hotel)~*~
All of Paige's bags were packed. Both Phoebe and Piper had made it clear they wanted nothing to do with her. Paige only wanted acceptance from them and both had shunned her. It made her so angry. At that moment, a spark flew from her hand and hit a clay pot. It began to dance for a second then stopped. Paige jumped back as the pot moved to her. Just then, her email began to beep.

Paige-
Don't be discouraged about today. You came on somewhat quickly for Phoebe and Piper. I will explain this to you now. Paige, you are up agaisnt demons and warlocks. You are also up agaisnt yourself. You are a witch. One of the most powerful good witches of all time. Your mother's three girls with their father Viktor Bennett, are the Charmed Ones. You were to step in because it was your destiny. Prue, the oldest of the bond has been killed. You may be the youngest, but you have been through enough to take over that lead. Your powers are healing and astrotelekinsis, or sparking movement in unalive objects such as walking or dancing. Your father was your mother's whitelighter, or her guardian angel and guide. I know it is alot to take in. Go back tommorrow. Better yet, go to the club P3 tonight.

Jacks-
Hey sis! How is the Golden Gate city? NYC is the same, you know jus' kind of chilling. I was accepted at NYCPAS(New York City Performing Arts School). I was crying! Mom said I can start next year for 10th grade. The director says I could be an awesome actress or singer! Paige, I wanted to ask you something. If you find your sisters, will I still be yours? I love you Paige. You have been there for me when Mom or Dad weren't. Even though I wasn't suppose to be born, you still accepted me.
Love alwayz,
Ashibear
~*~(Time Lapse-P3 club)~*~
Paige waited as the cold slammed agaisnt her body to get into the club. The mysterious email instructed her to and the server to the email was P3.com. Besides, she needed to get out of the hotel and to an awesome club. As the line came closer to the doors, Paige's heart began to beat hard agaisnt her chest. She looked great on the outside wearing her silver seqiuned halter, her black leather mini skirt, and her awesome black sandal platforms. On the inside however, Paige was a wreck. Finally, the bouncer at the door let her in. Paige pushed open the blue doors and peered in. The place was packed. She stepped in and went directly to the bar for a drink. After all Paige had found out, she needed a drink badly. Stepping up on the barstand, Paige watched the bartendress approach her.
"Hi, Could I a strong shot of tequila and a martini? Wait, make that a double!"
"Yes ma'am."
The woman went off into the back to get her drinks. That is when Paige saw both Piper and Phoebe talking. Knowing what she had to do, she walked up to them and cleared her throat.
"Umm. Hi."
Reconizaing that voice, Phoebe and Piper spun around and saw Paige there. Piper held up her hands and tried to freeze the bar. She suceeded to her surprise. Phoebe looked at Paige eyeing her closely.
"What do you want?" growled Piper.
"Piper, that isn't the important thing right now! Why are your powers working now and before they umm.. weren't?!?"
"It has something to do with her!" shouted Piper pointing her finger at a stunned Paige.
"Maybe she is a demon! But she didn't freeze.. Maybe Kali came back and posessed her!"
"Listen to me! Shut up both of you! I am your sister! Whether you accept it or not, I am your sister!" yelled Paige, angry and tears exploding.
A blank look befell both Phoebe and Piper. Both stared in disbelief. Paige took one more look around before stepping out of the club. The trashcan walked for a moment and stopped. Paige went running to her SUV. Slamming the door behind her, she sat in the car with tears down her face. At that moment, there was a man next to her. He was in a black suit and brown hair. His eyes were ever so cold.
"Who are you-" she began but the man grabbed her and pushed a sharp object into her side.
Paige felt a sharp pain in her side. Her eyes widened at the gushing wound. He watched her slightly.
"The Charmed Ones will never prevail again. Evil will rise."
With those words the man disappeared. Beginning to feel the effects of her being stabbed, Paige reached for her phone. Weakly, she dialed 911.
"Please..help..me.. I have been stabbed.. at the Club P3." Paige whispered before passing out.
~*~(Time lapse-back at P3 minutes later)~*~
"Piper, I don't get this. Why would she lie about something so serious?"
"I don't know Phoebe maybe she wants to kill us like every other person!"
Phoebe looked around and spotted Paige's leather coat. As she picked it up, she had a preminition.
*Paige, in the hospital being stabbed by a man*
Phoebe began to cough and hold her chest. She could feel what Paige had been feeling. Piper shook Phoebe a little bit.
"What was it?"
"That girl Paige in a hospital room being stabbed-" began Phoebe but was interuptted by sirens. Piper ran out to see what was going on. A ambulance driver rushed to her.
"There was a girl stabbed in her SUV. She looks to be about 25-27 years of age. We are taking her to San Fransisco Memorial."
The man rushed away and wheeled out Paige into the ambulance. Piper looked at Paige's pained face. Phoebe rushed over.
"You don't think it was a demon who stabbed her?" said Piper.
"At this point, I would believe anything. We better get to the hosptial."
~*~(Time lapse-San Fransisco Memorial Hospital)~*~
Paige opened her eyes slowly. She couldn't talk because there was a tube down her throat. It pained her to even swallow. There was a hand on hers. It was Phoebe looking into her eyes. Paige tried to speak but Phoebe stopped her.
"Write it down."
Paige wrote down:
What happened? Why the heck am I in a hospital? I hate them!
"You were stabbed by what we think it is a demon."
But-t-t how?, Paige wrote.
"Piper is checking it out. Now go back to sleep."
~*~(Time Lapse-the Manor)~*~
"LEO! Get your whitelighter butt down!"
A blue glow flashed and Leo looked at his wife and hugged her.
"Do the Elders know anything about a woman who is claiming to be our sister? Her name is Paige or so she claims."
Leo backed away afraid of Piper's reaction.
"She is your sister. The result of your mother's romance with Sam."
Piper stepped back almost falling into the book of Shadows. Leo couldn't be serious. Paige, their youngest sister?
"Why would the Elders hide this? After what we have been through lossing Prue?"
"Piper, you are the Charmed Ones! A new sister unless needed would be in your way. Sam was not tell you and your mother never even told Grams."
"I don't want to be Charmed anymore! Damnnit! I have lost not only my sister, but my best friend! I don't want a new sister! I want Prue." screamed Piper before falling into Leo's arms hugging him. He held her tightly rubbing her back. Piper pulled away wiping her eyes.
"We need to find out about this demon. Leo, the Elders know anything?"
"Because your new sister has been revealed, a demon sent by the Source has gotten a chance to tryi to break the bond. It is called Kazam. It kills witches for the good energy they have and turns it evil killing other witches. You will need the Power of three."
"Here it is. At least there is a vanquishing spell. That needs the power of three. Why did Kazam stab Paige? Why not suck the good out of her?"
"Maybe because he only needed a little at the time."
"I think we need to explain this to Paige."
~*~(Time Lapse-San Fransisco Memorial Hospital)~*~
Paige sat up in bed and slowly ate some applesauce. She smiled at Phoebe as they talked about their families.
"I felt rather horrible I intruded on you two, but I needed to know my past. Plus I was getting these emails saying to find you." whispered Paige.
"Well, Piper was especcially close to Prue. It is hard for her to accept that she isn't here anymore. Prue was like a mum to us."
"I understand. My sister Asha looks up to me like that. She is really talented. I found out she was accepted to NYCPAS."
Phoebe made a move to pick up her coffee. She sipped it and smiled. Paige sighed and laid down. Finally a question which had been bugging her had finally had to be asked.
"Phoebe, what was mom like?"
"I don't remember. I was only 2 when she died."
At that moment, Piper came in with the vanquishing spell. Only glancing at Paige, she showed Phoebe the vanquishing spell.
"There is a vanquishing spell but we need the power of three which we do not have at the moment."
Phoebe looked at the page and then into Piper's eyes.
"Piper, why won't you accept that Paige is our sister and she is power of three?"
"Phoebe, we just lost our sister Prue. Did you forget about her?"
"No of course not, but Paige is in danger and so are we! Everyone is effected by this! Get over it."
Piper made a move to leave the room and Phoebe giving one last smile to Paige walked out silently. Paige slowly laid down and watched TV.
~*~(Time Lapse-Halliwell Manor)~*~
Rubbing her finger agaisnt the Vanquishing spell, Phoebe looked at Piper who was gathering the supplies for the spell. She walked up to Piper and touched her shoulder.
"Piper, I know you are upset about Paige and Prue but you can't be so horrible to her. We are toast without her."
"I know that. It feels like the Elders are trying to replace her. To erase Prue from our midst."
The two sisters hugged. Phoebe picked up a picture of Paige from her beauty pagant. She was beautiful with her long raven hair in curls and a silver tiara on her head. That movie star smile shined through. It was almost familiar. Almost like Prue. Piper touched the frame and pulled away.
"Her smile, it looks like-" she began but Phoebe finished.
"Like Prue's.
Phoebe touched the frame and froze having a preminition.
*Paige being stabbed in the hospital, an evil laugh*
"We have to get to the hospital now..."
~*~(Time Lapse-San Fransisco Memorial Hospital)~*~
Paige was awoken by a man holding her throat. It was the same man who had stabbed in her the SUV. He stared at her with one cold glance. With his hand, he closed the door locking it. Slapping Paige across the face knocking her unconsiueses. A slap probelley wouldn't knock you out of consiueseness but being under all the pills made Paige vunerable. Everything became blurry to her and then finally, he stabbed her in the stomach. Blood was everywhere and Paige finally closed her eyes.
~*~(Time Lapse-the unknown?)~*~
Paige was surrounded by her favourite place. The ocean. It was beautiful as the blue crystal ocean hit the sand. Ahead of her there was a bright light. It was warm agaisnt her skin like the sun. In the distance, a shadow appoarched her. Unsure of what was going on, Paige appoarched the shadow. Entered came a young woman only in her 20's with raven hair like her own. She was short and looked like her mother. Then it hit Paige. It was Prue, the sister who had died.
"Prue? Am I dead?"
Prue appoarched her and touched her shoulder. There was a warmth to her touch.
"No you are not. Just knocked out. I am making sure you won't die."
"Where are we?"
"In the midst of heaven.. Paige, you aren't ready to die. You have to take my place to lead the Charmed Ones. It is your destiny."
"I don't think I can. Your sisters understand it alot more then I do."
"You mean our sisters. It doesn't matter. You are a borne leader and you need to take your place."
"I will do it because you asked me. I will work hard because I will be walking in the great footsteps of Prue."
"No, you are setting new footsteps for yourself. Good luck and use the power that you have Paige. I will watch over you and the Charmed ones. Tell Piper that she needs to accept you.".
"Alright..."
Paige gave one last hug to Prue before a mix of light and dark came over her. She woke up in the hospital and the man was laughing.
"Not expecting this?" Paige yelled before sending a trashcan in two different places of the room. They smashed together on his head. At that moment, Piper and Phoebe came in and the three read the spell.
"Instead of breaking what should not break,
We break you instead and let death take."
The man exploded and the sisters hugged tightly, the embrace lasting almost a lifetime.
~*~(Time lapse- Halliwell Manor)~*~
"Wake up sleepyhead." Piper's voice sounded in Piper's old bedroom which had been Prue and now Paige was using it..
Paige woke up to the smell of pancakes. Her favourite. breakfast food. Smiling, she sat up in bed and Piper sat next to her placing the stack of pancakes next to the two of them.
"Paige, I wanted to apologise about how I acted toward you. It was so hard losing Prue and having take in a new member of not only the Halliwell Coven but in the family. We need you."
Nodding, Paige took a bite of her pankcake. She looked at Piper slightly and and sighed.
"My parents are going to be unhappy I am giving up Medical School for this. Graduation is next week and I have to attend because I am valedvictorian. I would be honoured to live in the manor here with you guys."
"You wouldn't mind having my old bedroom?"
Giggling, she threw a pillow at Piper hitting her in the face.
"Just as long as you wouldn't mind giving it to me."
From outside the door, Phoebe listened in the conversation and smiled. Piper finally understand that is was destiny.
A/N: The end. May Paige be blessed with the gifts of being Charmed next October and may Phoebe and Piper be able to accept the new Power of Three.

"Instead of breaking what should not break,
We break you instead and let death take."
The man exploded and the sisters hugged tightly, the embrace lasting almost a lifetime.
~*~(Time lapse- Halliwell Manor)~*~
"Wake up sleepyhead." Piper's voice sounded in Piper's old bedroom which had been Prue and now Paige was using it..
Paige woke up to the smell of pancakes. Her favourite. breakfast food. Smiling, she sat up in bed and Piper sat next to her placing the stack of pancakes next to the two of them.
"Paige, I wanted to apologise about how I acted toward you. It was so hard losing Prue and having take in a new member of not only the Halliwell Coven but in the family. We need you."
Nodding, Paige took a bite of her pankcake. She looked at Piper slightly and and sighed.
"My parents are going to be unhappy I am giving up Medical School for this. Graduation is next week and I have to attend because I am valedvictorian. I would be honoured to live in the manor here with you guys."
"You wouldn't mind having my old bedroom?"
Giggling, she threw a pillow at Piper hitting her in the face.
"Just as long as you wouldn't mind giving it to me."
From outside the door, Phoebe listened in the conversation and smiled. Piper finally understand that is was destiny.
A/N: The end. May Paige be blessed with the gifts of being Charmed next October and may Phoebe and Piper be able to accept the new Power of Three.
