Chapter four

"What are we going to do now?" Phoebe asked as she paced back and forth.

"We'll think of something," Piper tried to reassure her. But truthfully she had no idea what to do. Just then a weak looking Paige came down the stairs.

"Hey guys. I made some more potions just in case we need them." Her eyes were sunken in and her face was extremely pale. It was obvious she was not doing well.

"Paige, you need to lie down. Let Piper and me worry about this," Phoebe said with concern in her voice.

"I'll be okay," Paige said.

"Well at least sit down," Piper insisted. "Do you want anything to drink?"

"Maybe just some water. My mouth is really dry."

Piper went over and felt her forehead. She was even hotter than before. "It's probably from the fever, you're burning up."

Piper left to get the water, and Paige looked to Phoebe.

"Did you come up with any plans yet?"

"No, not yet sweetie. But we will, I promise you. Everything will be just fine."

Just then Piper came into the room. "Here's your water sweetie. Drink up."

"Thanks," Paige replied as she took the glass from Piper.

"Okay, so where were we?" Phoebe asked.

"Coming up with a whole lot of nothing," Piper said, looking frustrated.

"Uh, guys........I don't feel so well," Paige said as her hand began to shake.

"Paige?" Piper asked. "What's wrong?"

Paige's eyes rolled back into her head and she began to convulse on the couch.

"LEO!!!" Piper screamed.

"Oh my god, come on Paige!" Phoebe said, the panic was obvious in her voice.

Leo orbed in and saw Paige on the couch. "What happened?" he asked.

"I don't know, but you need to do something for her!" Piper said. This time she was panicking as well. "Paige stay with us," she said as she held her hand.

Leo once again tried to heal her to no avail. Something was blocking his magic.

"God, please let her be okay," Phoebe said.

"Why can't you help her?" Piper asked Leo.

"I don't know. She's not going to last long like this though."

Piper began to panic and when she panicked she got angry. "Dammit! Don't the Elders ever know anything?!"

Then Paige stopped shaking and she opened her eyes.

"Oh thank god," Phoebe said.

"Paige, are you okay?" Piper asked.

Paige just stared at them with a blank look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Leo asked.

"Who are you people?" Paige asked.
