Chapter Twenty - eight ~ Wrong place to orb

The following night, Piper, Paige, Phoebe was huddled up together in front of a fireplace in Piper's room. They were talking about anything and everything and drinking hot chocolates.

"So anyway, Andrew asked me on another date" Paige informed her sisters.

"OOOO Paige has got herself a boyfriend" Phoebe chanted.

Paige grinned at Piper and gave Phoebe a hard shove. Phoebe spilt hot chocolate over her PJs. She glared at Paige and walked out of the room to clean up.

"Sorry to break up the sisterly bonding" a cold voice said from behind their chairs.

Piper looked up and saw Damien standing there. He forms energy ball and throws it at them. Just as he does, however, Nick orbs in. "Hey Mum"

"NICK GET DOWN," Paige yells, but it's too late. The energy ball hits Nick, instantly killing him.

Paige jumps up from her chair and rushes for to Nick's lifeless body. Paige feels for a pulse. When she finds none she burst's into tears.

Piper jumps up and watches as Damien shimmers out then looks down at Nick. "Paige?"

Paige looks up at her with teary eyes "he's gone". She stands up and hugs Piper.

Phoebe walks in. "Hey guys, I'm back what's up?" Phoebe didn't need telling, immediately after she spoke she saw Nick's lifeless body.

"Oh my, is he?" Phoebe asks, dreading the answer.

Paige looked up from hugging Piper, and nodded at Phoebe.

"Oh Honey" Phoebe rushes over to her sisters and they all hug.

The word spread fast about Nick's death, Paige got many cards and sore's off the whole school. But soon it came to the day when they were leaving.

They had just finished the feast; Piper, Phoebe and Paige all stood out the front talking to the teachers. Piper was holding Wyatt's hand and carrying Patty, Phoebe had Jordan and Paige had Melinda.

"Thanks for all your help, guys" Piper said to Dumbledore, Andrew and Snape. "You're not so bad after all" everyone could tell Piper had been forced to say that.

"Not so bad yourself" Dumbledore Replied and shook each of their hands.

While Piper and Paige went off to thank the other teachers, Dumbledore took Phoebe aside to talk to her.

"Yes, Albus?" Phoebe asked, juggling Jordan between arms.

"I am going to offer you a full time job" Dumbledore answered gently.

"What? I can't. It break up the power of three" Phoebe stuttered.

"Ok. It's your call" Dumbledore walked back over to the group.

Phoebe spun around and watched them. Paige was hugging some lady teacher and was on the verge of tears. She then looked down at Jordan.

Paige turned to Andrew. "Well looks like this is goodbye" Andrew nodded and they hugged.

"I'm really sorry about Nick" Andrew said as they broke apart. Andrew bent down to Paige's level and kissed her. A large OOOOOO erupted from the students. Paige and Andrew laughed as they pulled apart.

Piper and Paige walk over to Phoebe "Ready to go, sis?"
