[Scene 7: The Manor]

Piper, Prue and Phoebe are sitting in the lounge room.

Prue: Paige has had plenty of time to think about this. I think we need to confront her now.

Piper: I agree.

Phoebe: Wait, you guys! I know we should confront her, but just don't leap into it. Remember when I did the spell and we became witches? It took you guys a while to adjust and accept it. We can't expect Paige to be different.

The doorbell rang.

Phoebe: I'll get it!

Phoebe stood up and walked towards the door. She opened it and Paige was standing there.

Paige: Hi.

Phoebe: Hi.

Paige: I thought that we should talk. I know I'm always running off, but.is this a bad time?

Phoebe: No, not at all! Come in!

Paige walks in and Phoebe closes the door. She leads Paige into the lounge room.

Phoebe: Look who's here!

Piper: Paige? What are you doing here?

Paige: I wanted to talk about this whole white lighter thing. I thought it would be better to hear you out instead of running from it when you're no doubt going to be chasing me anyway.

Phoebe, Prue and Piper put their heads down, feeling a bit guilty and embarrassed.

Prue: Ok. Is there anything you want to ask first?

Paige: Yes, there is actually. If I do decide to become a white lighter, will I still have my own life?

Piper: Of course you will! Nothing and no one can take your life away.

Paige: Ok, good, that's a start!

Prue: Do me a favor. Can you hear voices in your head, right now?

Paige: Well, yeah! They're always there.

Prue: Ok, concentrate on one voice. One that you can clearly hear. Imagine yourself going to that person.

Paige: Umm, what's the purpose of this?

Prue: Just do it. Concentrate on it.

Paige closed her eyes and concentrated on a voice. It was a girl's voice. She was yelling for her mum. She sounded very scared. As Paige concentrated even more, the other voices disappeared. She saw the girl. She was about 10 years old. A man was approaching her. She was crying. Paige imagined herself going to the girl and helping her. She felt a warm tingle and then she fell hard on the ground. She opened her eyes. She was with the girl and man.

Girl: Please help me!

The man turned around and advanced towards Paige.

Paige: Umm, hi?

The man lunged at Paige. She closed her eyes and screamed. She orbed to the little girl.

Paige: Wow!

The man stood back up and advanced towards Paige and the girl.

Paige: Uh-oh!

Paige held the girls hand and imagined herself and the girl at the manor. They orbed to the manor.

Paige: Whoa.what happened?

Phoebe: Well, for starters, you just saved an innocents life!

Paige: I did?

Girl: Thank you for saving me.but.where am I?

Piper: You're safe with us now. What's your name?

Girl: Melinda.

Piper, Prue and Phoebe froze.

Piper: Melinda?

Melinda: Yes, Melinda. You look just like my mummy.

Piper: Do I? Melinda nodded. How old are you Melinda?

Melinda: Ten.

Prue: Piper, let's go upstairs.

Prue and Piper walked upstairs and in to Piper's bedroom.

Piper: That's my d-daughter!

Prue: Melinda was your daughter in your future life, yes, but she isn't your daughter. She's someone else's daughter.

Piper: She looks so much like she did.

Prue: Piper, she isn't yours! I know it's tough to think it, but she isn't.

Downstairs.

Phoebe: So, Melinda, where do you live?

Melinda: I live at a foster house.

Phoebe: At a foster house? Where are your mum and dad?

Melinda: I don't know. all I have is a photo of them and my three aunts.

Phoebe: Can I have a look?

Melinda took the photo out of her pocket and gave it to Phoebe. The photo was of Piper, Leo, Phoebe, Paige and Prue all together.

Phoebe: Oh my.

Paige: What? What is it Phoebe?

Phoebe ran upstairs into Piper's room.

Phoebe: M-m-Melinda is your daughter.

Piper: That's what I was saying!

Prue: Phoebe, she can't be. You should know that.

Phoebe: No, she is. She lives in a foster house. She doesn't know where her parents are she only has a photo of them and her three aunts. Which is right here.

Phoebe hands the photo to Prue.

Piper: That's me and Leo!

Prue: And we're the three aunts. Piper, you have a daughter.

Phoebe: But how, is what I would like to know. She didn't give birth to her or anything.

Prue: Well I'm sure we'll find out.
