Precious
Mentality
By: OrbingPunk
Setting: After Spin City, when Phoebe still has her powers and Piper is still
pregnant with Chris.
Disclaimer I do not own any of these characters, story plots, etc, except for
the two doctors and the idea for this story. Everybody and everything else
belongs to Constance Burge, the WB network, and anybody else involved. I got
the idea for this story from the Charmed episode "Brain Drain".
Please, don't sue me. I'm poor. P.S. This is a fic I posted a while back, but I'm
re-writing it! : THIS IS A STANDALONE NO PLANS FOR A SEQUEL : Enjoy!
"But Paige, honey, it will help you," said the doctor in a soothing voice, which to Paige sounded sinister; cruel.
"Piper! Phoebe! Leo! Chris! Somebody, help me!!" Paige yelled at the ceiling, to no avail. The doctor quickly took advantage of Paige being distracted and poked her with the long needle, sending a new tremor of whimpers throughout Paige.
"Now, Paige, I'm going to let a nice old man named Doctor Mitchell in to talk to you. He wants to ask you some questions," said the doctor, who's nametag read 'Dr. E. Namel'. Dr. Namel stood up and quickly strode to the door, whose whitewashed color matched the rest of Paige's "room". Dr. Mitchell entered the room and sat down on the edge of Paige's bed. Paige scooted further away from the edge, if that was physically possible, considering how close she was to the wall already.
"Hello, Paige," said the doctor. "I want to ask you about your friends."
"F-friends?" sniffed Paige.
"The ones you always shout about... let me see." The doctor glanced down at a clipboard in his hands as he adjusted his spectacles. "Phoebe, Piper, Leo, Chris, Wyatt, Prue... any of these names ring a bell?"
"Are they here? Are Leo and Wyatt here to finally get me out?" asked Paige.
"I'm sorry, but no, they're not," replied the doctor. Paige settled into a new fit of sobs. "I want to ask you about them, Paige. Tell me about Leo."
"W-why?" asked Paige warily.
"Tell me about your friends, Paige," repeated the doctor.
"F-friends? They're more than f-friends," said Paige, rage building in her voice. "They're my family, and I want them back! I WANT THEM BACK, YOU HEAR ME? BRING THEM BACK TO ME!!" Paige stood up, lost her balance slightly due to the white jacket entangling her arms, and threw herself headfirst into the wall with a crash. Dr. Mitchell quickly jumped up as Dr. Namel left his window that looked into the room and entered 'Paige's Prison'. The two men pulled the bleeding Paige back onto the bed and she scowled at them.
"Paige, you need to stop this unnecessary behavior," Dr. Mitchell said sternly as Dr. Namel assessed to Paige's injuries.
Dr. Namel began to bandage Paige's arm. "Leo would have healed me in a heartbeat," Paige muttered. "If only..." Paige's voice trailed off.
"If only what?" asked Dr. Mitchell, giving Paige a phony look of pure interest.
"You wouldn't understand..." Paige murmured under her breath.
