AN: Kiera - yeah PAige is taking Phoebe's place in the original PO3. :-D I'd hope to hav updated sooner but I can't get into this story. hopefully I will now tho. Anyway, enjoy.
Part 2
The manor had never been so silent in the 27 years Prue had lived there.
It was creepy trying to sleep without Paige's snoring and constant moving about or the TV from Piper's room. She had a nightly ritual of watching Conan O'Brian.
Prue knew all the silly traits and daily routines of her sisters.
Last one down and first one up as Grams used to say. She couldn't sleep until she knew her little sisters were safe in bed, it'd been that way since she was 5. She'd even developed a sixth sense when it came to them.
When they were younger, she'd wake up the second one of them was up. When Paige was disappearing all night she wouldn't sleep.
She'd be listenning, waiting, worrying but not sleeping.
Right now she was just too worried to sleep.
Paige had been withdrawn all day, taking the reaction of Piper to heart. She'd been in her bedroom since early evening.
And Piper hadn't come home from Quake till 11, and went straight to her room. She just blanked them both out.
It was terrifying to have had an arguement, thoughts of the last one and its aftermath fresh in her mind.
There were so many troubles and pains with her position as eldest. She was responsable for their well bring and she hated it.
Since her mother had died she felt like that and she wanted time to be wild and care free. To not worry about anything but what to wear.
Most of all she wanted a partner. Someone to look after her for a change, and make her feel special instead of being taken for granted.
She felt pathetic as she thought about the guy she created in her dreams but every night he was there and for that time nothing exsisted but her, him and the peaceful environment they were in.
Closing her eyes she begged for sleep to take her.
**************
Piper starred up at her ceiling. In the dark it was like a black hole. She wished it would suck her in, it'd be a great escape from her current feelings.
She'd been a bitch to her sisters especially Paige.
Piper was always one to share her problems but she had never felt so betrayed before so she didn't know how to deal with it.
Piper silently got out of bed and walked to the door, resting her hand on the handle, she wondered whether or not going to her sisters was best.
Eventually she pulled open the door, surprised to see a somber Paige leaning against the wall of her room opposite.
Paige straightened up as she offered her big sister a nervous smile which Piper returned before signaling Paige to enter her room.
They both sat on the edge of the bed until Paige broke the silence. "I'm sorry for trying to push you into talking earlier-"
"I'm the one who should be apologizing. I had know right to react the way I did, you were just worried about me."
"I still am." Paige added, hoping that Piper might be opening up.
Piper sighed, "I think I'm getting over it."
"That's good to hear. Wanna explain what happened?"
Piper nodded, "I felt something with him. From when he saved me and I saw in his eyes. It's strange and it was scary but everything we talked about, it was comfortable. Then he told me what he' done and who he really was and... I knew it could never be anything."
Paige took her big sister's hand, giving her silent support.
"I feel like magick is to blame for ruining this as well. So far it has done nohing but hurt us. First you almost dying. Then... Jessi. It seems like it's going to create nothing but pain and fear for us."
"But magick is what saved me. And it's our destiny, our gift, one we'll be using to rid the world of evil. What happened with Jessi isn't fair but maybe you two just weren't ment to be."
Piper thought it over, "When did my baby sister become so insightful?"
Paige smiled, "I've had time to do a lot of thinking lately."
Piper grew serious again, "Thank you. I think just needed to hear how ungrateful I was being."
"Hey, anytime, its what I'm here for."
"So, I'm forgiven?"
"Only if you promise not to bottle things up and argue again.Cause I don't think I could handle another arguement, too many reminders of the past."
"hm.. ok, I promise." Piper got a cheeky glint in her eye, "How about we go see if Prue's still up?"
Paige grinned and followed her sister to Prue's room. They quietly opned the door and peeked in, gasping as they saw Prue gagging and trying to beat off an invisable force.
