A/N: Ok, last part of this story but I'll be back soon as normal. I gotta say, even I thought cheese as I wrote the end lol.
Part 4
Prue grabbed both her sisters hands. They had been fighting against the warlock for a few minutes and got a little beaten in the process but Prue had had enough.
"Ok, you know what to say." She told them as they began the chant.
"The power of three will set us free." they repeated the phrase over and over, each time it was louder and more confident until the warlock gave a final pain filled scream and dissappeared in flames.
The witches stood, staring at the spot he had been. They were all trying to process what they saw, what was real and what was fairy tale.
Paige let go of her sister's hand and dropped to a sitting position on the floor.
It had definatly turned out to be a strange day.
************
Prue walked into her little sisters room, not bothering to knock. The sight of her sister sitting on the corner of her bed, a lost look on her face, killed her.
Sitting down next to her, Prue gently tucked a strand of hair behind her little sister's ear.
"How you holding up?" She asked.
Piper looked up with tears in her eyes, "I don't understand this." She said, her voice breaking.
Prue pulled Piper into a half hug. "I know it's a shock honey, but it'll be ok. You know what Grams said, everything happens for a reason, so this must be destiny."
Piper pulled away to look Prue in the eye, "Prue, It's scary and its dangerous and it's only the beginning! We've all got bruises, we're all confused and we don't know a damn thing!"
Prue knew what Piper was saying was right but she had to convince her sister otherwise. "Piper, we must be able to handle this. We can do it, we can learn and we can look out for each other."
Piper's anger faded, "Prue... what if we're evil... We killed."
Prue engulfed Piper in a tight hug, "We are not evil Piper. We killed the bad guys. They weren't human. They hurt innocent people. We're good, you know that."
Piper stayed quiet for a little while, taking comfort in Prue's arms and trying to make herself believe she wasn't a monster.
Prue kissed the top of Piper's head, "you ok?"
Piper nodded.
"Do you want to come talk to Paige with me? I think she needs us just now. Both of us."
"Are you sure I won't just put her off talking?" She asked in a small voice, her insecuities about Paige were obvious.
"I'm more than sure. She loves you Piper, you're still her big sister and she's hiding a lot. It's time we got rid of secrets."
Piper stood up and pulled Prue by the hand to Paige's room. They cautiously opened the door and saw Paige at the window seat looking out at the storm.
She looked across and gave them a sad smile. She knew they'd come to talk and she wasn't sure if she was ready for that.
"Hey.." Prue started. "just thought we'd come see how you were doing."
They sat down on the bed to face Paige.
"Just thinking about today." she told them.
"It's been pretty chaotic, huh?" Piper said.
"Yeah, you could say that."
Everyone was silent for a few moments until Prue spoke up, "Paige, we're here for you... you can talk to us."
"But you want me to talk about this morning, right?"
"Yeah..."
"We're worried." Piper added.
Paige broke, "You can't expect me to just spill everything! Do you know how hard it is for me to even think right now? I try to deal with life and problems and then I'm a witch... a prophicised force of good and I'm expected to deal with it and talk openly. Well, It doen't work like that. I can';t work like that and I'm sorry if your worried but I need time to sort things out in my own head!"
Prue and Piper were a little taken aback but they knew it might happen like that.
"Ok, we're not going to force you into anything." Prue assured her. "If you want some privacy then we'll leave."
Prue then gave Piper a nudge to signal their leaving.
"No.." Paige said quietly.
They waited for her to continue.
"I don't want to be alone." She whispered as her eyes welled up.
Prue held out her hand towards Paige who practically ran to her sister.
Prue wrapped her arms around her baby sister and vowed to keep her safe. Piper joined in the hug, hoping to help comfort Paige. She'd missed enough over the past 2 months.
That night the three sisters stayed close and helped each other heal without words.
