CENTENNIAL CHARMED
Chapter 18
-manor-
Paige continued her search for Phoebe as she gently went up the stairs. Pushing Phoebe's door open slightly, Paige peeked in. She saw Phoebe lying on her bed. 'Cole must have brought her up.' Paige thought, while scanning the room once again for any traces of Cole's presence. Seeing no one, she made her way towards her sister. However, the sight that greeted Paige wasn't one she was expecting.
"No!" Paige cried, as she collapsed at the bedside and grasped the stiff, cold hand. Her sister's body was pale. It's hard to tell that she's no longer in this realm by just looking at her, for she resembled someone in a deep sleep. There were no traces of blood, as Cole had taken care of that. However, her face is contorted into one of a pained expression, and it evoked many emotions within Paige to see her sister die this way. Anger, fear, sadness... maybe even vengeance.
"I've been expecting you."
Startled, Paige quickly whipped around, only to come face to face with Cole.
"You were, huh?"
"That's right. And you know what? I'm going to kill you."
"Not before I vanquish you first," Paige snapped. "How could you kill her, you... son of a bitch!?"
"Me?!? I didn't do anything! You think I would do such a thing? I'm as shattered by this as you are."
"Yeah, right. You're probably just so freaking desperate that if you can't get Phoebe, on one else can. But get this message already Cole: She. Does. NOT. Want. You. Simple as that." Paige exploded, venting out her anger at the man who destroyed her life.
"Shut up! I loved her! You... it's all your fault!" Cole screamed and flung an energy ball at Paige.
Paige quickly orbed behind Cole to evade the blast, while throwing the vanquish potion at him. His reaction was equally quick, and he shimmered out, causing the glass vial to shatter harmlessly on the floor.
-hospital (a few days later)-
Paige sat uncomfortably on the stiff chair, looking on sadly at her last remaining sister. her fear of becoming an only child resurfaced again.
"Paige..." a scratchy whisper was heard.
"Piper!" Paige cried in relief as she knelt next to her sister. She was unsure as to whether or not she should touch Piper. "I'm so glad you're alright."
Piper noticed that someone was missing. "Where's... Phoebe?" She coughed out.
"Oh, um... Phoebe's coming up with a new potion," Paige lied hastily.
Piper sensed that Paige was lying, but she was too exhausted and week to push Paige into revealing the truth. Slowly, she let the pain overtake her mind and drifted off to an agonized rest.
