Psychosis
"Are you... sure about this?"
"Not in the slightest," Phoebe told her apprehensive sister. "It's worth a shot though, isn't it?"
They were in the attic, preparing to cast a spell which would, in theory, place them inside Piper's mind so they could try to work out what was wrong with her.
"I guess... I just don't wanna get lost in there or anything," Paige said, pulling a 'you never know, it could happen' face. Her uncertainity of this was consuming her.
A cluster of orbs appearing several feet away distracted them as Leo appeared looking petrified. "Guys, she's doing it again," he said quickly before disappearing again.
With a look of fear at each other, Phoebe made her way towards the attic door but found herself orbing as Paige grabbed her around the stomach.
"Just that little bit speedier," Paige cried as they orbed out. 'Please oh please let us orb into the right place', she thought to herself. Paige wasn't quite up to scratch with her orbing powers and she was begging that this would work.
It did.
They appeared in Piper's room just in time to orb out again as Piper threw a hairdryer at them. Well, Paige orbed out. Phoebe, however, got smacked in the head with the hair-care appliance. Not the warmest of welcomes.
Paige reappeared and darted over to Phoebe's side, steadying her. "You okay?" she asked.
"I'd have been better if you hadn't abandoned me there," Phoebe commented.
"Sorry - gut reaction," Paige told her genuinely. Her attention was brought to Piper who was glaring at them all, sweat glistening on her angered face.
"Get away from me," Piper yelled, "You're evil and I hate you!"
Leo stepped forward. "Piper-" he began.
Then it happened. Piper's last thread of sanity snapped and she flicked up her hands, activating her power. Leo exploded.
Paige's hand flew to her mouth. "Oh my god is he-"
"No," Phoebe said through clenched teeth, "He'll be fine. Don't worry Paige."
Turning her eyes to Phoebe and Paige, the eldest Charmed One prepared herself for attack.
"What if she blows us up?" Paige asked, her eyes not leaving Piper's angered face.
"Then you can worry."
Nodding shortly, Paige looked into Piper's eyes. There was nothing there. She looked like she was possessed. Piper held back for a moment, before charging towards Phoebe.
"Piper no!" Paige cried holding out her hand desperately, and completely to her surprise, Piper disappeared in a cluster of orbs and reappeared by Paige's side.
Acting quickly in defence, Paige delivered a sharp blow to Piper's temple as her sister was about to strike her first, and this dazed the oldest sister for a moment.
"I didn't know you could orb people," Phoebe yelled between trying to restrain Piper and avoid her flailing hands.
"Neither did I," Paige muttered, and decided to help Phoebe.
Leo orbed back in, looking dazed. "What happened?" he asked.
"Let go of me you demons!"
"Piper blew you up, attacked us and here we are," Phoebe said as if it was nothing. "Now help us make her stop!"
Continuing to struggle, Piper wasn't fazed by their desparate attempts at calming her down. She was completely crazy.
A/N: If anyone is positive Paige *can't* orb people don't be so sure - has she ever tried? Prue could TK people, so why can't Paige work that way too?
