Part 5
Prue watched the kettle with her arms crossed.
They were right about that 'watched kettle's don't boil' thing.
But for once that was the point.
She had to stay out of her sisters way for a while. She sensed Piper's readiness to talk and finally to forgive.
Prue realised just how impatient she was as she tasted blood in her mouth. Why did she have to bite her lip when she was nervous?
They all did it, in the family. The family that consisted of her, Piper and Paige and it had almost fallen apart.
**********
Paige and Piper both sat at opposite ends of he sofa from when Prue had left them.
There was an uncomfortable atmosphere surrounding them and they both felt it. They also both knew they were killing time until they got into a deep discusiion.
Something they had to do to fully move on and live with each other.
Paige wanted to tell Piper that it was ok and she knew Piper still loved her but it was up to Piper to say those things.
Piper forced herself to start. "I... I'm sorry for being such a bitch to you. I didn't want to be.. it's just... with everything that happend and no one told me anything and I walked about everyday desperate to know how you were or if you were even alive but I was too damn stubborn to ask."
The two sisters subconsciously edged closer too each other.
"It's ok, I was just as responsable-"
"No! It's not ok. I was such a bad sister to you and I can't forgive myself for that. But today when I seen you..." Piper couldn't continue as she tried to hold back tears.
Paige reached out and took Piper' hand.
"I thought I lost you and I never felt anything so terrifying. I can't keep acting like I don't forgive you when I have but I can't stop this stupid awkward feeling!" Piper stated, becoming gradually more upset.
Paige gently wiped away a tear a that made its way down her big sister's face, "You have every right to act the way you hav been. I hurt you and its only normal that it still's makes things awkward. I made it this way but its not too late to fix it."
Piper exclaimd, "But it almost was too late!"
Paige closed her eyes, sometimes the truth forces you to take a moment.
Piper continued, "I'm just so sorry that it took losing you for me to let go and stop being so stubborn."
"Just stop!" Paige snapped but insantly regretted it when she saw the sad look on her sister's face. "You have to stop being sorry. You acted the way you did rightfully. I know how much I hurt you, what I did was unfogivable." Paige squeezed her sister's hand again, "Pipe, can we just start over?" She asked with new weakness.
Piper failed to hold back the lump in her throat so answered in a near breaking voice, "yeah, squirt."
Paige's tears began to match Piper's. The use of her old pet name causing her to go to breaking point. Piper had used it since she could remember, it started as a reference to how small she was but in the end she over took both her sisters hieghtwise.
Piper then pulled Paige into a tight embrace. They each hugged like it was their last and couldn't bear to let go.
They stayed that way until they heard Prue trying to quietly pad into the room.
When Piper felt her baby sister begin to pull away she tightened her grip. "Pruedence, get your ass over here." She said in the normal Piper tone.
Prue smiled feintly and done as Piper ordered. She put her arms round her little sisters, her family.
After a few minutes Prue noticed something out the corner of her eye. Looking up she saw the familiar, yet completely abnormal blue orbs fall fom the ceiling and make a b-line for her baby sister.
They beat her to warning Paige as they penetrated her skull. She gently pulled Piper back.
They were both prepared to wait for Paige's vision to pass but it didn't go as last time, Paige's eyes snapped open to reveal completely black eyes.
Both Prue and Piper gasped and as Prue looked her sister over she realised it was as if Paige was frozen. Her chest wasn't moving, she made no sound. This kick started Prue as she held Paige's face in her hands, "Paige! Snap out of it! Paige!" She said forcefully. When there was no visable change she panicked, what else could she do that wouldn't injure her sister?
Prue watched the kettle with her arms crossed.
