Part 2
i Fear, Paranoia, everyone out to get you. Feeling alone and isolated from everyone
because they are all after you. There's no trust. Only hate, pain and fear. He says he's
not a demon that she's imagining the fireballs hitting the wall behind her. His eyes
flame and turn black, there's no way she could be imagining it. Then he left. She was
alone with her emotions overwhelming her. Sinking to the floor she wished she could
understand what was happening. /i
Piper sighed and turned over looking at the door. She was having a hard time clearing
her mind enough to sleep as it was. She could hear Paige tossing and turning letting
out the occasional whimper. It was tearing her apart. She wanted to go to her but she
was still mad at her for acting how she did. After a few more moments thinking, she
got up. Under it all she was still the same worrying middle sister. For all she knew there
could be side-affects to the encounter with the power brokers.
Opening the door quietly Piper went to Paige's bed. She sat down and felt Paige's
forehead, she was hot but not temperature hot. Paige's dream seemed to have gotten
worse as she thrashed about more.
Piper gently shook her little sister, "Paige, wake up honey." She whispered.
i Power. Power rushing through her. The urge to kill what she hated. To kill what
had tormented her, made things more confusing. And what had tricked her family into
thinking, she was the demon. She would lose her family again. They were going to
chose a demon over her. Abandonment again.../i
Paige jumped out of her nightmare screaming. Piper reacted the only way she could
and pulled Paige close, letting her know she was safe. When Paige tried to get away she
just tightened her grip. Paige soon gave in as she cried into her sisters shoulder, taking
comfort in their embrace.
Piper rubbed Paige's back, "shhh, your ok now. I've got you."
Piper got Paige calmed down enough for her to slip into bed beside her. She wiped
some tears from her baby sister's face, "you ok, sweetie?"
Paige nodded wondering why Piper was being so...soft towards her. She looked Piper in
the eye, "why are you here?" She asked not meaning it to sound how it did.
Piper frowned, "Would you prefer I wasn't?"
"No, it's just..I thought you'd hate me right now."She said quietly.
"I don't hate you. I never have. Its just Phoebe has been through a lot to get to where
she is with Cole and what you said upset her." She tried to reason.
Paige immediately flinched as Cole was mentioned. Her eyes started welling up again.
"Paige? Honey, don't cry. Phoebe will be fine with you soon enough."
Paige shook her head, "I didn't have a dream." She said taking a breath to steady
herself.
Piper looked confused, "what do you mean?"
"It wasn't really a dream. I remembered what happened with the power brokers and
the power in me. Cole isn't who he seems."
"You couldn't have remembered, it wipes the victim's memory completely. You were
just having a nightmare..."
"No Piper, I swear I wasn't. He was in the attic. He...he was making it worse, he was
doing things and pretending like he didn't. Then he left me alone. You all went away
'cause he said so..." Paige buried her face in the pillow as she remembered what she
felt before.
Piper felt the guilt build up as Paige spoke. She had gone and left her alone, and they
had left fast at Cole's suggestion but still Cole was past the demon thing. He was
human now and he wouldn't give that up..or would he?
Piper again took to rubbing her sisters back as she kissed her head, "I'm so sorry. We'll
sort this out, I promise."
