Chapter 6

Back at the Manor, Phoebe and Piper desperately tried to find Paige, while Leo went to the Elders to see if they could help in any way.

"What if she's hurt?" Phoebe said.

"Paige is strong, she'll be okay," Piper said trying to reassure Phoebe. The truth was, she was just as worried.

"But this isn't our Paige we're talking about. She has no idea who she is."

"Which is why we need to concentrate on finding her. How is the scrying coming?"

"It's not working," Phoebe said, putting down the scrying material.

"Blood to blood I summon thee, blood to blood return to me," Piper finished saying her spell in hopes that Paige would appear next to her. No luck. "I don't know what else to try," she said, becoming more and more worried.

Just then Leo orbed in. "The Elders don't know much, but no one up there could get a read on her either."

"What's new?" Piper asked sarcastically. "I swear Leo, if the elders were good for anything........" she was interrupted by Leo.

"Piper, this isn't going to help us get Paige back any sooner. What have you guys come up with?"

"A whole lot of nothing," Phoebe replied.

"Have you tried her cell?" Leo asked.

"Her cell! I didn't even think about her cell! Leo you're a genius. I knew there was a reason I love you," Piper said. As soon as the words, "I love you" escaped her mouth she regretted it. She couldn't believe she had just told Leo that she loved him. It was obvious Leo had picked up on her tension because he quickly dismissed the comment and encouraged Piper to call Paige.

Alley

"Todd," Paige said under her breath. His name was Todd. She knew him, yet she didn't know how. But to be honest, she really didn't care. There was someone here that she felt connected to and that was all that mattered.

"Paige, what are you doing here?" Todd questioned.

"Uh, to be completely honest, I have no idea. What are you doing here?"

"Shortcut. My house is right across the street and this alley is a shortcut home from the gym."

Paige nodded and looked in the direction of Todd's house. It was a nice, neat little house. It looked safe and Paige wanted to go there.

"Hey, since we never got to finish our date, would you like to come over and maybe try again?" Todd asked.

"Yes, that would be great," Paige said. She had already started walking towards the house when he asked. For some odd reason there was comfort near the house and with Todd.

Paige's cell phone began ringing and interrupted her thoughts. She looked down to see who it was, but no surprise, she didn't recognize the number.

"Who is it?" Todd asked.

"I don't know, it must be a wrong number," Paige replied shutting off the phone.

With that, Todd walked her to his house and shut the door behind them.
