Paige's Song
Chapter 3-Agony
Key: **=dream
Paige's pulse was faint, but she felt it. Piper breathed a sigh of relief. "Leo!" she called, "Leo!" The sister's whitelighter orbed in. He rushed over to Paige and held out his hands. Nothing happened.
"Leo why isn't working?!!!" Piper screamed
"I don't know" he tried again and concentrated harder. You can see his sweat dripping from his face. Then they could she the familiar yellow glow. Her bruises healed, her heartbeat quickened, but she didn't move. Piper held Leo's shoulders, Phoebe grabbed one of his hands, and he took Paige in the other. They orbed to Paige's bedroom. Leo laid Paige on the bed and he and Phoebe went to get some dinner ready for when Paige awoke.
Piper stayed at her sister's side. She held her hand and let her tears flow freely. "I love you," she assured her, "we all love you. You're gonna be just fine. You will not give up on us, we need you" She felt Paige stir. Paige cried out and covered her head with her hands. Her body shook with sobs as she protected herself. Piper reached out to touch her, but Paige recoiled. "Paige," Piper tried to confront her. Paige sprung up and curled herself onto the far corner of the bed." Paige it's me your sister Piper!" Her only response from her was uncontrollable sobbing. Leo and Phoebe entered the room, with food in hands and approached Paige. Piper grabbed them and ushered them out, explaining what had happened.
"It sounds like she is suffering from a truly traumatizing experience," Leo said.
"Can't you do anything about it?" Phoebe asked.
"I can heal her body, but not her mind. She'll have to find her own way, find herself."
"she needs to open up too us, it's the only way she can go through this"
"I know but how? Did you see the way she reacted to me?, it was like she was scared of me, I mean her own sister" Leo; sensing the sisters need some time started to orb out, then he stopped and heard the ringing sound from the elders.
"The elders are calling, maybe it's about what happened to Paige" Leo said.
"Ok but hurry back" Leo orbed out.
"Meanwhile," Piper said with a menacing gleam in her eye, "I'm going to find the bastard that did this, and..."
"Remember, Piper, our job is to protect the innocent, not punish the guilty," Phoebe said.
"How dare you! How could you even say that? Who here is more innocent then Paige? Name one thing that she's done to deserve to be not only in a state of mind like that, but the bruises that came with it. Are you more deseveving then her? Is anyone? How can you take up for the man that did this?"
"As much as I want to protect her, and kill the bastard it still isn't right...."
"What you're saying is this asshole should stay free, because we can't punish him! What if he hurts someone else? I have to stop him from hurting...." Phoebe put hear hand over her mouth and pulled her into a hug. Piper cried on Phoebe's shoulder, soon Phoebe was in tears. They went to check on Paige on more time before they went to bed. The peeked through the door they found her peacefully sleeping or so they thought.

Paige let sleep overcome her, the only way out of her piece of mind...or so she thought.

* "I have to go to the bathroom," Paige told her sisters.
"Okay," they replied. Paige began her walk toward the nearest bathroom. She passed a few stores and things. Suddenly, someone burst out of a nearby alley, and grabbed her. She tried to scream for help, but he had her by the mouth. She continued to struggle, and she felt her clothes get ruffled, her hair clip fall to the ground. She felt something hit the back of her head and she fell.*

Piper could not sleep, so she went to the attic. She stood over the Book, looking through it to find anything that would help. Suddenly, she felt a cold chill. The wind blew across her. "Wait a minute," she said, "we're indoors, how can there be..." she never finished her sentence for just then a dark orb appeared and a Darklighter formed. His crossbow appeared in a cloud of smoke, and he shot an arrow at Piper's stomach. Leo orbed in.
"No!" she heard Leo cry from across the room. He jumped in front of the arrow and it got him in the leg. "Agh," he moaned as Piper turned to the Darklighter.
"You son of a bitch," she tried to blow him up, but he dark orbed out of the room.
"Phoebe!" Piper called. Phoebe rushed from her bed and raced up to the attic. She took a look at Leo's leg
"No big deal," Phoebe said, "you two can switch powers and you can heal him."
"No I can't," Piper said, "I don't know what that would do to the baby."
"Then I'll do it," Phoebe said.
Leo, who was uncontrollably shivering, spoke up, "You can't Phoebe, and you still have demon blood in you from your baby. The result could kill you."
"Then what are we going to do?" Phoebe asked.
"Our only hope is Paige," Piper replied. She ran towards he sister's room, knowing that Paige hadn't let anyone touch her since she had been found yesterday.
