Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed.
Author's Notes: Yes, this chapter is VERY short. I am very sorry, but I didn't get as many reviews as last time… Where did all my faithful reviewers go? *Pouts* Okay, here's your chapter. Sorry if it isn't what you expected. Please remember to review and tell my what you think! Thanks!
"No!" Paige held out her hands, "Get the hell away from me, you damn bastard!" The demon laughed cruelly, "Ah. So now she breaks." The demon continued, "You know, I thought you would be dead by now. You haven't had anything to drink for four days, and nothing to eat. I must say, I am a little disappointed in your sisters. I hoped they would have figured it out by now…" Paige shook her head and tears slid down her cheeks, "You are wrong. They probably are looking for me right now…" The demon stepped closer, and smacked her hard across the cheek. Paige cried out in pain, and put her hand to her already bruised face. "What do you want?" she spat. The demon shrugged his shoulders, "What every demon wants." He pointed a finger at Paige. "Your powers." Paige glared at the demon, and the demon shrugged his shoulders again, "Well, I also want the Charmed Ones dead, but I am not like other demons. I am stronger." Paige rolled her eyes, "Sure, whatever." The demon growled, "You just crossed a line, there, missy. Your lesson for the day - " His eyes flashed in anger, "Don't piss me off!!" He took a big step forward and grabbed her head. He shoved it as hard as he could against the cavern wall, and the sickening thud echoed throughout the cave. The demon cursed, "Oh, shit. I wanted to play some more… oh well." The demon shrugged his shoulders again, and took a step back, letting go of Paige's head. She fell over sideways, barely breathing. The demon laughed cruelly, "Bye-bye witch. I am going to go play with your sisters now." The demon laughed again, and shimmered out, disappearing.
Almost twelve hours later, Paige slowly opened her eyes. She tried to remember what had happened, but everything seemed a little fuzzy. "Ughh…" she groaned. Paige put a hand to the back of her head, and immediately pulled it away. The little pressure she applied hurt like hell, and she tried to stay grounded, and not pass out from the pain. Paige looked to her right, and tried to see what was beyond the boulder. Her vision was too blurry for her to make out much, so Paige laid back down on the cold, damp dirty floor. She looked at the chains on her ankles and wrists, which were connected to the wall. Paige looked hopeful as she tried to straighten out her wrist. "Chain!" she called. Nothing happened. "Dammit!" Paige cursed. She was pissed. Paige closed her eyes, and concentrated on the chains. After a few moments, Paige reopened her eyes, and looked at her right wrist, "CHAIN!" She yelled. After a moment, the chain orbed off her wrist and into her hand. Paige smiled, and then realized the awkward position she was in. She turned her head to the left, very aware of the excruciating pain running through her body. She was almost one hundred percent sure she had broken her collarbone, but tried to shove the pain to the back of her mind. Paige closed her eyes, and then after a few minutes, reopened them and looked at her left wrist. She yelled, "CHAIN!" The chain that was connected to her left wrist orbed into her hand. 'Okay, two more,' she thought. Paige looked down at her feet, and closed her eyes once more in concentration. She decided that she would orb both chains off of her ankles at once. She took a steady breath and then opened her eyes to look at her feet. Paige held out her hand and yelled, "CHAINS!!" The chains disappeared from her feet and appeared in her hand. Paige smiled, and then tried to sit up. The room tilted and the gloomy colors warped together. "Ughh…" Paige lay back down, finally realizing that she was exhausted from the amount of concentration and energy it took to orb the restraints off of her. Paige continued to lay on the ground for about ten minutes, and then she collected her remaining strength. Paige closed her eyes and concentrated on orbing herself to the manor. She smiled at the thought of seeing her sisters again.
Paige opened her eyes after deep concentration and felt the familiar warmth flow through her body as she orbed out of the hellhole…

Piper put her hands on her waist and yelled up the stairs, "Phoebe! Are you up there? C'mon. You have to do the spell." After about 30 seconds of waiting, Phoebe bounded down the stairs, a huge smile spread across her face. She waved a piece of paper in Piper's face, "I got it." Piper raised an eyebrow, "The spell?" Phoebe nodded her head, "Yeah." She looked at the spell, and then read it off for Piper. "Allow me to see, through the haze and black magic fortress in which my sister may be. Bring me to her, and by my will, it shall be." Piper clapped her hands, and then suddenly stopped, "Wait. That uses the pronoun 'me'." Phoebe raised an eyebrow, "And?" Piper shook her head, "There is no freaking way I am going to let you go down there alone. Are you insane??" Phoebe shook her head and then looked thoughtfully down at the paper, "Okay… give me a minute…" After a few minutes, Phoebe uncertainly said, "Allow us sisters to see, through the haze and black magic fortress, in which our other sister may be. Bring us to her, and by our wills, it shall be…" Piper nodded her head, "Good enough."
Piper and Phoebe looked into the direction of the kitchen when they heard a crash. Piper worriedly looked at Phoebe, and then took her hand, running into the kitchen. The sisters gasped at what they saw…
Author's Notes: *Goes to hide in a corner* Okay. I know it isn't exactly what you expected, but Paige has a brain and she is a big girl. So, please before you flame me, think about being nice first. Thanks! (Okay, I know that didn't make any sense, but… I couldn't come up with an excuse to why you shouldn't flame me…)
