Chapter 3

At The Halliwell Manor:

Prue sat on the couch in the attic of the Halliwell Manor. Her eyes were closed. Concentrating hard on finding her nephew, she didn't hear Paige come into the room. Paige stopped when she saw Prue. She hadn't expected anyone else to be up there. She was unsure if she should continue with her plans to search the Book of Shadows. She didn't want to disturb Prue. Paige stood there for a moment staring at her eldest sister. Then she quietly tiptoed to the book and opened it. She turned the pages silently.

Prue's eyes flew open. She'd caught a faint trace of Wyatt. She was startled when she saw Paige at the book. She had thought she was alone. Paige noticed Prue was moving. "I'm sorry Prue. I didn't mean to disturb you." Paige closed the book and started to leave. Prue jumped up. "Don't go Paige. I need your help." Paige was dumbfounded. Prue never asked anyone for help and certainly never asked Paige. Prue continued, "I think I've found Wyatt. I want you to come with me in case there's trouble." Prue reached out and grabbed hold of Paige's arm before she could respond. She orbed them to the spot where she'd sensed Wyatt.

A Vineyard somewhere in Italy:

The two sisters found themselves standing on a hill in the middle of a vineyard in Italy. Down the hill from them they could make out two tiny figures. They walked down the hill until they could get a good look at them. "Wyatt." Prue and Paige spoke his name at the same time. They took notice of the other boy. It was definitely Phoebe and Cole's son. He had Cole's sharp features.

Wyatt looked up the hill and saw his two aunts. He grabbed Ben's hand. "We're in big trouble. That's my Auntie Paige and Auntie Prue." Ben turned to look up at the two women.

Paige and Phoebe were both stunned when the boy's gaze swept over them. He had Phoebe's eyes. Suddenly those warm familiar eyes turned a steely green and glowed eerily. The boy was demonic. There was nothing of Phoebe or Cole in that stare. Paige held out her hand. "It's time to go home Wyatt." Wyatt didn't move. He couldn't. He felt strange. It was as though Ben was controlling him. Prue stepped forward and reached for Wyatt, but only grabbed air. Wyatt had orbed away with Ben.

Paige touched Prue's shoulder and orbed after her runaway nephew.

Back at the Halliwell Manor:

Prue and Paige found themselves in back in San Francisco, in front of the Halliwell Manor. Thinking Wyatt had orbed home, they ran into the house.

Piper heard someone come in and rushed out to see what was happening. She almost ran into Prue and Paige when she reached the hallway. "Did you find him?" Piper questioned. Prue shook her head. "We did, but then he orbed away. Paige orbed us after them and we landed here." Disappointment was etched on Piper's face. Would her son ever come home?

"Is that Paige and Prue?" Phoebe called out from the living room. The three sisters walked in to join her. Phoebe sat on the couch with her feet propped up. She didn't look very comfortable. "You didn't find Wyatt, did you?" Paige shook her head. "Not yet. But we're not giving up." Piper sat down next to Phoebe. Phoebe put her arm around her sister. She could feel how upset Piper was. She wanted so badly to help, but she couldn't sense her nephew. Paige finally spoke breaking the silence. "I think I'm going back to the attic. Maybe there's something I missed in the book." Paige started to walk out. Prue followed. "Let me help you Paige."

In the attic, Paige opened the book and flipped through the pages. She wasn't sure if she was looking for a way to find Wyatt or a way to turn back into herself. She just flipped aimlessly hoping that Grams would turn to the proper page for her like so many times before, but it didn't happen. She was so busy with the book that Paige hadn't noticed what Prue was doing.

Prue pulled a loose board from the wall. Behind it was her secret hiding place. She hadn't kept many secrets over the years, but when she became a witch she had hidden a few things there. She pulled a notebook from the space. Her own personal spell book, where she kept her secret spells. She also pulled out a little tin box. Her treasure box. She took both items to the table. Sitting down, she called Paige over to join her.

Paige sat across from Prue at the table. Prue opened the notebook. She flipped through it quickly finding what she was looking for without too much trouble. She held out the book to Paige. "This might help. I just remembered it." Paige took the book and read the spell to herself.

"To thine own self be true. Show only your true face. From now until the end of time. Illusion has no place. These words will strip away all that's false. Let the true soul shine through. Become what you really are. Be no one but you."

Paige looked up. "This is perfect for my situation." Prue smiled. "I think so." Paige stood up and cast the spell changing all the "you"s to "me". After a few seconds Paige was once again herself. Caught up in the happiness in the moment, she flug her arms around Prue. "Thank you so much!" Prue hugged Paige back. She didn't want to ever let go. This was the first genuine affection that Paige had shown her since she'd come home. But all too soon, Paige pulled back. Prue held onto Paige's hands and looked her in the eye. This was the perfect time to say everything that she'd been holding back.

"Paige, I need to say something." Paige nodded. She knew by looking at Prue that this was something that she desperately needed to get off her chest. Prue continued, "I know that you've been conflicted about me being here. You love Piper and Phoebe. And you are afraid that now that I'm back, they won't want you anymore." Paige broke in, "That's not it...." Prue interupted her. "Shhh... Just let me talk. Piper and Phoebe love you very much Paige. You are part of this family, now and forever. They would never walk away from you. You know that." Paige nodded. "I know." Prue smiled. "Now for what you don't know. I've been watching over you ever since you first stepped foot in this house. I've seen all the good that you've done. I've seen how you helped Piper and Phoebe through my death. I loved you for that. And now that I've gotten to know you, I love you even more. You are my baby sister Paige. I love you just as much as I love Piper and Phoebe."

Paige's eyes filled with tears. She didn't know what to say. Prue had said everything she had been longing to hear. She pulled her hands from Prue's and hugged her. She hugged her for real this time. The same way as she hugged Piper and Phoebe. She hugged her as a sister. Both sisters burst into uncontrollable sobs. Paige clung to Prue. Through her tears she whispered for the first time, "I love you Prue."
