One word - Gotcha. Seriously I never go back on my word. Plus Paige is one of my fave
characters so there's no way I'd kill her off.There's one person I would and I don't think
I need to say who.
Part 11
"NOO!"
"Piper? Piper!" Phoebe grabbed Piper by the shoulder's.
"Phoebe? Where's P-paige??" She asked mortified.
"In surgery. Like the doctor told us." Phoebe frowned, concerned for her big sister.
"Oh thank god." Piper let out a deep breath and tried to get a hold of her emotions.
"Y-you fell asleep a couple of hours after the doctor left. Did you have a nightmare?
You were screaming and shouting."
Piper just nodded and pulled Phoebe in for a hug. Piper tried to force the image of
holding Paige out of her mind. It was so real she could feel it all, the pain, fear,
helplessness and she had given up.
They sat both taking comfort in the embrace until Piper saw Darryl Approaching them.
Piper pulled away, "Pheebs, why don't you go wash your face then go to the cafeteria
and get yourself something to eat or drink." she ordered more than asked. She didn't
want Phoebe involved in telling Darryl about what happened.
Phoebe nodded and got up. She quickly hugged Darryl before she left.
Darryl sat down next to Piper and hugged her, "How's she doing?"
Piper sighed and shrugged, "They haven't told us anything since she went to surgery.
And that was 4 hours ago."
Darryl had the nervous look on his face. "I hate to have to ask you this Piper but what
do you want me to right in the report? I'm guessing it was a demon that done this."
Piper put her head in her hands, "The truth. Just with the supernatural part." She took
a deep breath, "It was Cole. So you can put it in as him, only your not going to find
him."
"What?! I thought Cole was human now?" He asked confused.
"He's the source. Or he was the source but we vanquished him. He took Paige this
morning and he tortured her. He beat her up really bad, he was bleeding her, using
demonic powers on her. She was dead Darryl, and I was the one who had to bring her
back. I can't lose another sister, I can't lose her."
Darryl put his arm around Piper and gave her sometime to compose her self.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. We're done with this for now. I'll make up the missing stuff."
"Thank you Darryl." Piper said sincerely.
"It's ok, you've got enough to deal with." He hugged Piper again, "Call me ok? I'll be
back once I've done writing the report."
"I will, bye Darryl."
"Bye."
Piper took the time alone to let everything out. She felt like she had to be strong for
Phoebe and Paige. She couldn't break down in front of Phoebe. She thought about who
was to blame for this but all she could come to was herself. It was Cole's fault but she
shouldn't have let him take her in the first place.
If she had only thought quicker when he was at the manor, or if she had believed Paige
before the power brokers incident.
How could she be so damn dumb?! What self-respecting witch, charmed one no less,
believes a demon who has done nothing but cause trouble over her own flesh and
blood??
She was a bad sister, she was bad at being the oldest. She had failed that and if she
never had the chance to make it up, she'd die inside. And god knows it was all ready
too much to bare.
She was snapped out of her thoughts by Phoebe as she sat beside her.
"I brought you some coffee, thought you could do with it." She said as she handed the
plastic cup to Piper.
"Thanks." She said as she took a sip. She couldn't help but think it tasted like the crap
Prue used to make.
"A-are you ok?" Phoebe stuttered out. "You're too calm." She added quietly.
Piper let out a little laugh. "I'm not ok. I want be till I know Paige is but, I'm just
keeping it together for you both. Me being a bubbling wreck won't help anyone."
Phoebe put her arm over Piper's shoulder, "If you want to be a bubbling wreck go
ahead."
Piper closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She stayed like that until a doctor came
in the room looking for them. She almost dropped her coffee but managed to get it on
the table at her side.
She took Phoebe's hand and held it tight waiting for him to speak.
"Your sister is just out of surgery. It went well." Piper let out a relieved breath."but,
she's not out of the woods yet. There was a lot of internal damage. We had to take out
one of her kidney's. She's got 3 broken ribs and 2 cracked. She suffered a punctured
lung because of that. She lost a lot of blood from several slashes on her body and also
she's fractured her arm."
"Will she be ok?" Piper asked still trying to take in all the injuries Paige had.
"Your sister is in a coma. There's no way to say for sure but its likely if she survives the
next 48 hours then she has a good change of a full recovery." He told them truthfully.
Phoebe gripped Piper's hand tighter, she was speechless.
Piper swallowed the lump in her throat, "Can we see her?"
The doctor nodded, "of course, they're moving her to an ICU room just now. You should
know, there will be a lot of machines."
They both nodded and then stood up following the doctor.
Her first instinct was to turn and run. She didn't want to face going in that room. She
felt immense guilt for all this. After all it was her husband that caused all of this. She
braced herself and walked in.
Piper put her hands over her mouth. She slowly walked towards the bed that held her
broken little sister. She gently took Paige's hand into her own.
Phoebe forced herself to go sit on the other side of Paige. All she could do was stare at
her. She had a small bandage on her forehead, a black eye and a cast on her right arm,
and that was only what they could see.
Piper decided she should speak to Paige, they said coma patients could hear you, right?
So where was the harm in it. "Hi honey, Me and Pheebs are both right here ok? We're
not leaving you. Just come back to us." She said as she carefully stroked Paige's pale
cheek.
characters so there's no way I'd kill her off.There's one person I would and I don't think
