Part 2

Staring at my shadow i see the world around me
Never felt as if my existence reflects these walls so proudly
Intentions of the past defined so quickly
It's hard to change myself never mind all of the people around me

I try to push it to the side
Never put the blame on anybody's head but mine
I'm still searching for my pride
I'll keep searching but there's so many places for it to hide

I try
I've tried so hard to change for you


Glenn entered the manor in search of the woman he loved. He'd had a hard night at work and
just wanted to be with Paige. He was lucky enough to find a good job at a punk club,
something he really loved. After checking downstairs he headed to her but was disturbed by
sniffing and occasional sobs. He went up the stairs to the attic.

He stood beside Leo, who didn't even acknowledge his coming in. He saw Piper and Phoebe
and another woman in each others arms crying, then Paige. She was on the floor near them
sobbing her heart out, instinct took over as he put his arms around her.

Paige pulled herself up and ran from the attic, she couldn't deal with this. If she left now then
there would be no hurtful words said to her. Prue was back so they didn't need her, the last
year and a half she spent changing herself to cope with sisterly life and being a witch but that
would all be over, they'd want to go back to how it was: without Paige.

Glenn stood up to follow her but felt someone hand on his shoulder, he turned around to see
the mystery woman, he realised then who it was. She gave him a 'I need to do this' look and
walked passed him.

Prue found Paige in what used to be her room. She was hysterically tearing her clothes out of
the wardrobe. Prue didn't now how to react or how Paige would either so she just went for it.

She stepped right up to Paige and put her hands on Paige's shoulders. Paige just kept trying to
take all of her clothes out. Prue wrapped her arms around Paige's neck and bear hugged her.
She let out a relieved breath when Paige melted down to sobs.

She lowered them to the floor but still kept her hold on Paige. "You're not going anywhere."
Prue whispered into her ear.

Paige had her sobbing down to light hiccups as she pulled away and looked at Prue, "I have to
go." She said shakily.

Prue could feel her heart tear. "Why? Why can't you stay?" She asked moving a stray piece of
hair from Paige's face.

"Cause, they don't need me anymore. They...they have you back and I'll be forgotten." Paige
said looking at the floor.

"How can you think that?" Prue asked, unable to hide the shock in her voice.

"You're...You're Prue. I'm just the fill in charmed one." A small sob escaped.

Prue pulled Paige in and hugged her, "They would never think like that! They don't I know
they don't, and neither do I. I've been watching all of you. Learning about you since the
moment mom told me. You are my baby sister, and I will not be turning you away just
because I'm here! Piper and Phoebe, they love you like the great sister you are, and you know
that deep down so trust yourself."

Paige buried her head in Prue shoulder as she slowly let Prue's words sink in. She was more
than a replacement, she was a sister.


Prue and Paige appeared in the attic doorway, Prue with her arm protectively around a tense
Paige. Piper and Phoebe looked up from the sofa, they both looked as upset as the youngest
Halliwell.

"Guys, we need to talk about something..." Prue started

"Like why your back." Stated a hoarse Piper.

Prue nodded, "yeah."

She directed Paige to the sofa, sitting her in between Piper and Phoebe. She then sat down on
the floor across from them, pulling her knee's to her chest.

"The demon who attacked, he was part of an ancient cult. Not as strong as a demon, no
powers but powerful in spell casting. The elder's got word it was the perfect time for them to
come together, so they sent me down to help you. They gave me the ability to heal and to orb
as well. With all four of us together, they think we can defeat them."

"Why are they such a threat?" Phoebe asked.

"They are the brotherhood of the Apocalypse."

"Like the four horsemen?" Piper asked.

"Well, close. They bring the same thing..."

"The End." they all said together.
