Paige ran. Her heart thumping erratically. She stopped suddenly and looked around. Things were getting scary, her best friend was out here somewhere. She had to find her. It was all around mass chaos, screaming and people running.
She and Haley had gone out to celebrate their first month sober. Nothing much, just a party being held by a mutual friend. Then Hell had come to Earth, guns could be heard going off in every direction of the warehouse. None of it mattered though, Haley was all that mattered.
**FLASHBACK**
Paige walked sullenly through the house. She was only doing this because she didn't want to go back to juvy. She had been kept for an extra month for beating the crap out of another kid that had taken her dad's belt. But she didn't apologize, he had deserved it. These foster parents were like the rest, all fake smiles and false promises. She had moved passed shock and denial, while moving into anger.
"So what are you in for?" Paige looked up into pale blue eyes.
"What?" She asked in confusion.
The girl studied her carefully. "If you haven't noticed this house is for the difficult kids. Glen's parents were mugged and knifed, Tony's were addicts, Mine were just people that should have never been allowed to have children. What's your sob story?"
"Car crash, I was the only one that made it. Got ejected before I could be harmed. Lucky huh?" She said scornfully.
One of the boys-Glen looked up, "Anger stage, right?" Paige glared at him. "Take my advice, beating the life outta people only gets you sent to the Hill."
"The Hill?" She asked.
"The hell-hole you just came from."
"Oh." she said softly.
"Listen I been in the system for five years. I'm sixteen and if you listen to me you may just make it. I'm Haley."
Paige let out a small smile, "Paige."
**END FLASHBACK**
Paige knew something hit her arm but her mind didn't let her register it. She heard a weak voice call out her name. She ducked into a machinery blocked part of the warehouse. The sight that met her made her heart stop. Her best friend lay pressing her bloody hands to her stomach. Paige knelt down to her. She gasping, that wasn't good.
"Y-you're hurt." said Haley in a gasping breath.
"No, it's nothing. We have to worry about you. Hold on okay?"
"I can't, I'm sorry." she closed her eyes and died in her best friends arms. `
Paige Matthews bolted upright in bed shivering violently. The dreams were back, and that wasn't a good sign considering that she needed to save the world on a daily basis now. She wrapped her arms around herself and tried to subdue her shivering.
Haley Rinough had been her best friend. If it hadn't been for her and Glenn she would most likely be dead by now. She had never told her sisters, she couldn't. Haley had been her sister in every respect but blood. Besides the less her sisters knew about her past the better.
Sleep was no longer an option. Looking at her clock she would've gotten up in thirty minutes anyway. Today she would spend an entire day with Richard, that thought lightened her mood incredibly. Sweet Richard, always making her feel amazing.
Within fifteen minutes she was ready to go out. She suddenly got an ingenious idea. She scribbled a note to her sisters and taped it to the door.
Orbed to Richard's
Paige
She smiled and orbed into her boyfriends bed. Waking him with soft tantalizing kisses.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Piper Halliwell walked into the old club. It had been amazing until the owner had gotten too old to manage it.
There at the bar, among a mountain of boxes, sat a rather plump old man with a cheery smile.
"Ahh, Ms. Halliwell, how good it is to finally meet you." He held his hand out in greeting.
Accepting the offered hand, she grinned. "It's an honor to meet you."
Waving his hand he said, "No, no I must congratulate you on your wonderful clubs success. It reminds me of this one in it's height. Now let me get you a drink so we can go over the scotch you wanted"
"I'll take a Coke please." The man gave another smile and went around the bar. Then a picture caught Pipers eye. It was of Paige and Glenn posing on the stage at what looked like ten years ago. What was this man doing with a picture of Paige?
"Those were some good kids. Still talk to me too. Then again Missy Paige was someone you would never forget."
"You know Paige?"
"Yes, I thought of her as my daughter. Glen as my son. " His eyes saddened slightly. "I did not know we had a mutual friend."
"Paige is my sister."
"I'm sorry but Paige was an only child."
"Sorry she's my biological sister we met her three years ago."
"That's good, after..., well Paige needed something to keep her from going back."
"Back? The alcohol?"
"The alcohol, the drugs, the wild parties. Girl could put anything down on a canvas. She needed something to keep her from falling from what we tried so hard to quit."
"Well tell Paige I said hi. Here's your scotch." He moved away so much slower than he had.
Piper soon felt the hairs on her neck stand up. Twirling around she found a ghost staring back at her. "A Charmed one" she said. "Please you have to help me. Summon me I can't move on until I say goodbye."
At the Manor
The newly formed ghost stood in the middle of the living room.
Paige walked in Richard with his hands on her hips, smiling. Suddenly she stopped when she saw the ghost. Blonde hair, blue eyes and a smile all her own.
"Wow Paige you always did have good taste, but he's simply yummy."
Paige passed out at the voice she hadn't heard for years.
