A/N: So, this is it! Thanks for being so patient with me, guys! I know this one took me forever, and I'm sorry for that. I hope it was worth the wait ;)

"So this is all I have to say?" Paige asked, glancing down at the slip of paper Phoebe had handed her.

"Yes," Piper answered, nodding. "Phoebe reworked the astral projection spell a little. That'll send you to her astrally while still giving you control over your powers. If anything goes wrong, we have the reversal spell to bring you back. The plan is find her, get her away, and bring her home. Then you come back to us."

Suddenly, Paige felt a tight knot form in her stomach. The fact that this was all resting on her hit her full force. "Can I even find Elderville? Are you sure I'll be able to get her there?"

"Once she's free, she'll know where to go," Leo assured her. "You just have to accompany her and make sure Helen doesn't get her again. It should be easy enough if you work fast."

"How will she know she can trust me?" she asked softly. She had to admit, she was getting rather nervous.

"You and she are connected," Phoebe replied comfortingly. "Even though she's never seen you, she'll know who you are and that you're there to help her."

Paige sighed, somewhat unconvinced. She was beginning to doubt herself a bit. What if she was wrong? What if that wasn't what she needed to do? What if her showing up just made Helen angrier? She wasn't sure what else, if anything, Helen could do to Jamie, but she was now wondering if her interference would cause Helen to do something even worse to the poor little girl.

"Paige, you can do this," Piper said, her voice strong. "I know you can, and you know it, too."

Hearing that Piper believed in her made Paige feel a little bit better. She had been trrying so hard to prove herself to both her sisters, and knowing that it was finally paying off made her so happy. She felt stronger and surer of herself than she had felt in a while. "All right," she said, smiling. "Let's do this."

She gazed down at her spell and read it silently before finally reading it aloud. "Separate body and mind, transcend the bounds of time. Powers so strong will stay with me. Now take me to the one I see."

Almost at once, Paige felt really lightheaded. Then she felt weightless for a brief moment, and the dizziness passed. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a place that was very bright. Even though the effect was like five-hundred watt bulbs in every light socket in a room, it didn't hurt her eyes to look around. Not that there was much to look at; it was like being in an open field that just happened to be extremely bright.

After taking a moment to orient herself, she set off to try to find Jamie. That task wasn't as hard as she had thought it was going to be. She had only been walking for a few minutes when she heard a young voice crying out in pain. She ran towards the voice and what she saw when she found the made her sick to her stomach. A young blond woman who would have been quite pretty were it not for the look of hatred on her face was holding a little girl around her waist. It was definitely Helen and Jamie. Paige would have recognized Jamie's strawberry blond hair anywhere, and she did remember seeing Helen's face in a couple of the dreams. "Hey!" she hollered, hoping to startle Helen enough that she'd let Jamie go.

Helen looked up and smirked when she saw Paige, tightening her grip on Jamie. "You think you're the only witch she's connected with over the years?" she sneered.

Jamie looked up and met Paige's eye. Despite her obvious pain, she gave Paige a small smile to let her know that she knew that Paige was there to help. Paige smiled back and nodded slightly, then looked directly at Helen, leveling a cold glare at her. "I'm giving you three seconds to let her go. And just so you know, I'm not just a witch. I'm a Charmed One."

"Even a Charmed One can't break my hold on her," Helen said triumphantly. "I know why you want her . . . so she can become a Whitelighter. Well, I'll be damned if I let a murderer become the next best thing to an angel."

"You're the murderer!" Jamie cried, which only caused Helen to squeeze her harder.

"I have one thing you weren't counting on, Helen," Paige said, bracing herself to catch the little girl. "Whitelighter powers. Jamie!"

Jamie instantly disappeared into a cloud of little blue orbs and reappeared in Paige's arms. Jamie squeezed Paige tightly, then grabbed her hand and started to run in the direction away from Helen. Paige looked over her shoulder just as Helen started running towards them. "Hang on, Jamie, okay?" Paige said.

Thinking quickly, she orbed both herself and Jamie out of the area and into another. She looked around frantically and was relieved to see that Helen was nowhere in sight. "We lost her!" she said excitedly. "At least for a little bit."

Jamie met Paige's eyes and smiled. Instantly, her face brightened and her eyes began twinkling. "You're the one I've been waiting for."

It warmed Paige's heart to see the little girl so happy. She knelt down so that she was eye-level with her. "I can't even imagine what you went through all those years. All those dreams I had . . . I saw what happened to you."

The little girl smiled sadly. "I could tell you were different from all the others. The other witches I connected with could get to me, but they couldn't get me away from her. When I sensed you, I knew you were the only one. I had to show you everything so you'd help me."

"I would have helped you without you showing me everything," Paige said gently. She took Jamie's hands and gave them a comforting squeeze. "You're a very special little girl and now, you're going to go to a very special place."

Jamie grinned. "I know. I'm going to help you, just like you helped me."

Paige pulled the girl into a hug and held her for a moment. It was in this moment that she wished she could make it so that Jamie never had to have suffered any of it. She was so precious, so innocent, and so wise beyond her years. She deserved to have a full life, one without suffering. She let Jamie go and looked at her through the tears in her eyes. "I wish I could make it all go away for you."

"It's okay now," Jamie said, choking up herself. "Meaghan is with my mommy and daddy and she has been for a long time. Helen has no reason to stay here now, so she'll go to where she belongs--"

"In hell?" Paige asked, giggling.

Jamie laughed, nodding. "And I have a special destiny to go to. I'll also get to see my family again once I get there. It's all okay now."

Paige smiled and stood up. "So let's get you to that destiny."

With a grin, Jamie nodded excitedly and grabbed Paige's hand, tugging her along as they headed to bring Jamie home.

Phoebe straightened the pillow under Paige's head and sighed, looking down at her sister worriedly. She had been unconscious for over an hour, and Phoebe was beginning to get concerned. "Piper, you think she's okay?"

Piper looked over at Paige and shrugged. "She looks okay. Why?"

"What do you think is taking so long?"

Piper shook her head and was about to answer when Paige drew in her breath and opened her eyes. After a second, she sat up and shook her head as if to clear it, breathing heavily. "Whoa, and I thought orbing was disorienting."

Phoebe rested her hand on Paige's arm. "Are you all right?"

Paige nodded as Piper sat down at the foot of the bed, joining her sisters. From the look on Piper's face, it was obvious that she was both concerned and confused. Paige just smirked and glanced over at Phoebe, who looked like she was bursting with questions as well. "Yeah, I'm fine," she answered, deliberately not mentioning anything that happened. "Just a little woozy."

Phoebe ran her hand up and down Paige's back for a minute. It was something she remembered her grandmother doing when she was little, and it always made her feel better. As soon as Paige's breathing returned to normal, she brought her hand down and looked at her sister expectantly. "So? What happened? Is everything all settled now?"

Grinning, Paige sat back against the headboard. "Yeah, everything's fine. Jamie's safe and Helen's gone."

"What?" Piper asked excitedly. "What happened?"

Paige recounted what had happened in the limbo dimension and the heart-to- heart she had with Jamie. "She's such a sweetheart," Paige said softly. "She seemed happy enough with her destiny, but I still wish I could make it so that none of it ever happened."

"We all do, honey," Piper said, brushing Paige's hair out of her eyes. "But this is her destiny, and we can't change that."

"I know," Paige said, smiling sadly. She shook her head and grinned. "Look, I feel like I've been in bed forever. You two up for the park?"

"You bet!" Phoebe exclaimed. She leaned over and gave Paige a hug, then she grabbed Piper's hand and dragged her off the bed and out of the room. "We'll meet you down at the car!"

Paige giggled and shook her head at her sisters, but she then decided to chase after them. It was such a nice day and for the first time in what felt like ages, she was wide awake.

When they arrived at the park, Paige got out of the car first. She stretched, trying to work out the kinks in her legs. As she gazed out over the deep green grass, she spotted a little girl with strawberry blond hair walking up to a small group of girls about her age. Paige had to do a double take. The girl looked so much like Jamie. "Hi, I just moved here," Paige heard her say a little shyly. "Is it okay if I play with you?"

"Sure," one of the girls said. "What's your name?"

"Jamie," she answered with a smile.

"We were just about to go to the swings if you want to come," the same little girl offered.

Jamie grinned, but before she ran off after the girls, she turned around, met Paige's eye, and gave her a small waive. Paige, amazed, waved back and watched as Jamie giggled and began following her new friends, one of which was undoubtedly her charge. She was so in awe that she jumped a mile when Piper came up behind her. "What's the matter, Paige?"

"Nothing," Paige answered, a smile forming on her lips. She echoed Jamie's words to her. "Everything's okay now, Piper. She's finally happy."
