Pamela screamed.

"Pamela," Paige said soothingly. "Pamela, close you eyes and take a deep breath. Just clam down."

When Paige sat silently, and made no move to leave, Pamela's sobbing gradually eased.

"You're not afraid," Pamela said, suspicion evident in her terrified voice.

"You don't want to hurt me," Paige said, and shrugged.

"I don't want to do any of it. I don't want to break things," Pamela whimpered.

"I know you don't. Can you tell me what happened now?" Paige asked calmly, as if the randomly flying objects were normal and not worth noticing.

"I was afraid I would hurt someone…" Pamela trailed off.

"And?"

"And I just…everything happened at once. I couldn't stop it…" She looked at Paige to see if she believed her.

"Why were you afraid you would hurt someone? Were you mad?"

"A guy said my parents…he said they probably abandoned me." She gritted her teeth angrily. "They didn't abandon me. They loved me. It was an accident…"

"And you were afraid you'd make something hit him," Paige said as several objects in the room began to tremble as if they, too, might take flight.

Pamela's lower lip trembled.

"I can't stop it."

"You can. You just have to learn."

"No. I can't do it."

Paige smiled.

"I had to learn," she said. "Watch. Pencil."

In a swirl of blue lights, the pencil on the desk disappeared, then reappeared in another bunch of lights in Paige's hand.

"Wow! How'd you do that?" Pamela asked, a hereditary curiosity lighting in her eyes.

Paige shrugged.

"The same way you make things move, I guess," she said. "Try. Concentrate on something, then move it. Try the pencil," she said, holding it out in the palm of her hand.

"I can't."

"It can't hurt to try, right?" Paige said reassuringly.

A noise in the front office caught Paige's ear, and she dropped the pencil.

"Oh no…" she murmured. "Pamela, this is important. I was never here, okay? You never saw me."

"What? Wait, you…"

"I'll see you again. But I was never here."

Pamela gaped as Paige herself disappeared in a swirl of blue lights, just before the door flew open with the secretary fuming.

Paige orbed into the car in the parking lot where her sisters sat in the back, and Sydney and Vaughn sat in the front.

"She's definitely a witch," Paige said, reaching up to pick bits of clay bowl out of her hair. "She's telekinetic."

"Did you orb in front of her?" Phoebe asked in surprise.

"It was that or get caught as a fraud by the secretary and a social worker," Paige commented. "Apparently, she can't control it at all, either." She plunked a large chunk of clay out of her hair. "I only hope she tells them what I said to. I told her to tell them she never saw me."

"What if that gets her in trouble?" Vaughn demanded.

"Oh, she's in trouble already," Paige said. "She flipped a desk in class, and the school called a social worker rather than deal with her. So it's probably happened before anyway."

"Are you saying my daughter is a juvenile delinquent?" Vaughn asked.

"No. I'm saying she's a young witch coming into a power she doesn't understand," Paige retorted. "I don't think you understand, either."

"No," Vaughn admitted. "I'm more lost that she is, probably. When can I see her?"

"I don't know," Paige said. "I can sense her now. When there's a chance, I'll orb you."

"Orb? Me? No."

"It's your only option?" Piper commented.

"I don't orb."

"You do now," Paige said.

"I'd like to meet her, too," Sydney commented.

"We need to give her time to adjust. The fewer people the first time j orb in on her, the better," Paige decided.

"May be you should go alone the first time," Phoebe suggested.

"I think she's right," Vaughn agreed eagerly. "I'd probably scare her, if I orbed…"

"May be I could orb her back to the manor for a little while?" Paige suggested.

"On your judgment," Piper said. "Don't orb her there if she'll be missed, please. She's in no danger where she's at. Bringing her to the manor may prove risky."

I just love foreshadowing, don't you? And, for Alias-only fans, the manor is known to be the place where most of the demon attacks on the Haliwails occur. That's all Piper refers to in that last comment.
