Part 10


Paige and Piper orbed into the manor.

It'd taken Paige a while to convince Piper it was ok to go home.

She was worried what Phoebe and Prue would do or say.

She truthfully thought they would vanquih her or disown her.

Paige still kept a tight grip of Piper's hand as she practially dragged her into the living room.

Phoebe was laying with her head on Prue's lap.

Each had the obvious marks of dried tears. They no doubt matched Paige and Piper's.

Paige offered a small smile as Piper subconciously stayed behind Paige.

No one moved or said a thing. No one knew what to say.

The tension was growing as Phoebe sat up.

"Are we going to talk now or later?" She said to the room.

Paige turned round and looked at Piper. Her big sister looked so vulnerable at that moment.

Piper could swear her heart was going to burst through her chest.

The only hope she had was that Paige forgave her, so maybe Prue and Phoebe could too.

But she also knew her protective the family were.

She was as stiff as a board as Paige sat her in the armchair and squeezed in beside her.

Guess that meant they were going to talk now.

"um.. Leo and Glenn orbed in earlier. They were in the underworld searching for us. We told them to make themself scarce for a little while." Prue said.

Paige sighed, Glenn had been in the underworld. And even worse she had barely thought about him. "Did you tell him he was stupid to go down there?"

Prue nodded, a small smile barely noticable.

Piper kept quiet. She wanted to ask how Leo was but he was safe and alive, that's all that mattered.

"What were you think about?" Phoebe said suddenly.

Piper could feel her eyes drilling holes through her. She couldn't find her voice to answer. She felt like she was being interogated by the Nazi's.

Paige opened her mouth to say something for Piper but Phoebe cut her off before she could start.

"I want an answer from her."

Piper took some courage from Paige grasping her hand.

"I just... wanted to stop her suffering." Piper explained.

"We had Prue right there! We could have called on Leo. If you had done that a second later Paige might not be here!" Phoebe said getting worked up.

"I thought Prue's powers were gone. Leo wouldn't have heard us. You didn't see what was happening! I didn't want her to die that way." Piper said as tears stremmed down her face again.

"What way?" Prue asked gently.

"I couldn't stop it from happening to mom, I didn't want it to repeat. I couldn't..." The rest was cut off as Piper shook with sobs.

Paige immediately put her arm around Piper and pulled her close.

"I was drowning in blood." Paige said sadly to her sisters.

Prue rubbed her forehead, this was screwed up, even for them.

Piper wiped her tears and sat up to fae all of her sisters, "I'm sorry I've failed you. I never wanted to let you down, I only wanted to help my baby sister but I didn't all I did was create more hurt." She said with some anger in her voice.

"Piper, you have not failed anyone!" Paige said.

Cole's words hurt her sister and they had her convinced she was a failure again.

"Why don't you ask Phoebe over there, she'll set you straight. I'm a failure huh Pheebs??" Piper said bitterly.

Phoebe was so confused abouther thoughts. She was mad at Piper, but she didn't hate her.

"I don't think that. I never would. You do what you think is right in every situation and you do it for good reasons. Piper, Cole only said those things to get to you. They are not true. Not at all. We all know everything he says is crap."

"He was right." Piper said quietly. Her adreniline running low.

"Was he right when he said Paige wasn't a part of this family?" Prue asked.

"No but..."

"No but's Piper. You're one of the sweetest, good hearted people I know and you wouldn't do a thing to hurt any of us." Paige added.

Piper struggled to keep her emotions in check as Prue and Phoebe joined in the group hug with her and Paige.

"We need a vacation." Paige mummbled.
