Part 6
Her grief blocked vision cleared to show the faces of the very people she killed.
They kept flooding her mind, Increasing the agonising pain in her heart.
Closing her eyes she saw their dead and mutilated bodies.
The buzing in her ears gave in as she stated to hear her own cries followed by voices. Whispering.
She deserved this.
She killed her family, least they could do was haunt her.
They were touching her now. She could feel there hands on her shoulders, on her face. God, they were warm. Shouldn't they chill her to her evil bones?
Someone... Someone was kissing her. And it wasn't bad or violent... It was Glenn she could taste him. It was a gentle Glenn kiss.
Slowly opening her eyes they were all still there. Glenn closest then Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Leo. And... Someone else. A woman with red hair. Kind of like her own. Someone extra but some missing.
Where was Ender?
Finally the images and sound began to syncronise.
"Paige? Talk to us?" Glenn asked.
She pushed herself futher into the sofa.
What the hell was going on?
"I... Your... Why?" She stutered hoarsly.
Prue's turn to step up.
"It's ok. You're home now. There was a... demon problem. Do you remember the demon that stabbed you with its spike?" Prue asked softly trying not to freak her little sister out further.
Paige slowly nodded.
"Well, this demon had a venom which caused you to see... experience stuff that you're scared of. But whatever it was, it wasn't real. Ok?" Prue said as she reached out to touch Paige's hand.
Paige looked down at Prue's ahdn on top of her's. She stabed... Killed her big sister and she fogave her with her last words. She stopped the evil with those three simple words and here she was again. With love in her eyes and reassuring touch after Paige had shoved a blade into her flesh and threw her veins..
A quiet whimper excaped her as she pulled back from them all again.
Quickly she thought about what Pue had told her... But Ender... was he all part of her imagination?? Or did she really kill him and everyone else managed to get back but him?
"Did... Are you lying? He's not here so I really did do all that didn't I? Oh god-"
Paige was cut off by the door opening. Ender walked in the living room with some girl and Paige couldn't have been more relived, she hadn't killed him.
Ender stopped and looked at his aunt in shock, "Thank god." He said before walking towards her.
Paige backed away, she may not have brutally mudered them all but she still felt like she had.
Ender looked to his mom with a confused look. Piper just put an arm around him. "It's ok. She's just a little freaked." Piper reassured.
Paige rubbed her forehead, "I... I'm sorry." Paige said before leaving and going to her room.
Pheobe was ready to go after her when Willow stopped her.
She then looked at Phoebe, embarresed. "Sorry... I think I could maybe..."
Phoebe nodded, "Go try."
Dawn stopped Willow before she got to the stairs, "You don't have to do this."
"I know. But... I think I should try." Willow told her honestly.
Dawn let her go, still not happy with the idea.
********
Willow approached Paige's room, she could feel the pain from the charmed one. It was more regreat and remorse that stung through. Emotions she was all to familiar with.
She knocked on the door and without waiting for a reply walked in. She gave a sympathetic smile to the other red head. "Hey."
"Who are you?" Paige asked without looking up.
Willow edged her way futher into the room ,awkwardly she anwered, "Willow... uh Willow Rosenburg."
Paige looked up, she hadn't expected that to be Willow. She was so young... yet her eyes told otherwise. She'd spoke to Willow on the phone a couple of times, comparing evils and spells.
"Your sisters called us when they couldn't figure out what was wrong with you. Luckily we had a cure for the head trouble." She explained.
"It felt... feels real. Like it really happened..."
"You killed them huh?" Willow asked bluntly as she on the corner of the bed.
Paige stared intently at her hands and nodded. "I done it so evily."
"But it wasn't real, they're still here and they're fine." Willow sad with slight bitterness.
Paige looked up at her, "But everytime I look at them I'll see them. Dead. Mutilated. At my hand. I could feel all the emotions, the smells the sensations." More tears fell from her eyes.
Willow sighed, "do you know what I done?"
Paige frowned.
"I lost my soulmate to a geek in denial and I went out and killed him... I made with the flaying and then I tried to end the world and I came pretty close. I live with that everyday. The fear that I'll be that monster again. That the magick will take me over. That I'll kill my friends rather than just hurt them this time. You can put this done to a really crappy nightmare and I think you need to remember that."
Paige felt like some childish whiner who was feelin sory for herself. "I'm sorry."
Willow softened. "Don't be. Just don't shut them out. And don't let it become more than a nightmare. It must have been horrible, but they're all sitting down there worried sick about you and they always will be. Don't forget that."
"I know they care... I love them, they're my family I'm just not good at knowing what I saw while they think it's all ok. I just started to get over the hell images and now i've got a healthy knew supply."
Willow looked at Paige, mouth slihtly open. "Was it long? Like the centuries long hell?"
Paige nodded.
"God, I'm so sorry."
"Sounds to me like you've been there yourself."
Willow's gaze fell. "And everything wants to drag me back there."
"Don't let it. You've got you're friends right?"
Willow smiled slihtly, "yeah. Just promise me if I go scary and veiny again you'll come vanquish me." She said half joking half serious.
"It's a deal." Paige agreed. "Scary and veiny?"
"My evil alter-ego." Willow explained. God she spend too much time around Xander's comic colection.
Paige nodded still not quite getting it.
