Chapter 7

Manor

"She's not answering her cell," Piper said, sounding more and more worried by the minute.

"What are we supposed to do now?" Phoebe asked.

"Just stay calm," Leo tried to reassure everyone. "I'm sure Paige is okay, she is just confused right now."

"She's more than confused Leo. She has no idea who she is!" Phoebe replied.

"Phoebe, keep trying her cell, and Piper and I will look for something else to scry with. Something Paige had before she met us," Leo said.

"Why?" Piper questioned.

"Paige doesn't remember us, so scrying for her with something that connects her to us might not be the best option. It's just a thought, but it might be worth a try," Leo said.

"At this point I'm willing to try anything," Piper said and she and Leo walked down the hall to Paige's room.

Todd's House

"Can I get you anything?" Todd asked Paige as they walked into the house.

"Water," Paige said. She was so thirsty her throat burned.

"Sure thing," Todd said as he walked into the kitchen. "Make yourself comfortable," he yelled back.

Paige walked over to the couch and sat down. Leather....nice. She still didn't understand why she felt so comfortable with Todd, what was the connection? Honestly, she really didn't care though because for the first time she felt at ease. Not like she felt back at that house with those people who said they knew her. They couldn't be who they said they were. She would know her family, wouldn't she? Just then Todd came back into the room and interrupted her thoughts.

"Here you go. One glass of water, fress from the tap," he joked.

"Thanks," Paige said. As she took the water from Todd their hands brushed up against one another and a spark lit up the room. "Ouch!" Paige yelled and quickly pulled her hand back.

"Wow," Todd said as he looked down at his hand. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I think so. That was really weird."

"Tell me about it. I've heard of sparks flying when you meet someone you like, but that was unreal. Here, drink up," Todd said once again handing Paige the water.

Paige took the glass and began to drink. As she drank the water she began to feel funny. Almost as if she was being shocked again. She closed her eyes and tried to will the feeling away.

"Are you okay?" Todd asked her, noticing she was not looking so well.

As the feeling left Paige, she sat up straight and looked at Todd. She actually felt revitalized, almost powerful. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why don't you come sit next to me on the couch."

As Todd got up she watched his every move. She was drawn to him, and he was going to be hers. Todd sat down on the couch, and Paige immediately began kissing him. Todd was taken aback by her aggressive behavior.

"Paige, what are you doing?" he asked.

"What's the matter, don't you want me?" she asked him.

Todd couldn't deny it, there was an attraction with Paige that was unlike any other. "Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked her.

"What do you think?" Paige replied.

With that Todd grabbed Paige and pulled her into a passionate kiss, but once again Paige began to feel strange. She opened her eyes and for a second she didn't know what was going on, but the person she saw, or thought she saw, wasn't Todd.

"Richard?" she said confused.

"Who?" Todd asked. "Who the hell is Richard?"

"Uh, I don't know," Paige said feeling foolish.

"Then why did you say his name?" Todd questioned. Paige could tell he was annoyed at being called the wrong name.

"I don't know," Paige said again. She was telling the truth. She didn't know anyone named Richard, or did she? Why did she say that name and why did the face she saw look so familiar? "I should go," Paige said and turned to walk out the door.

"No, you're not going anywhere," Todd said and he grabbed Paige's arm. She was starting to remember things and he couldn't let that happen. He grabbed the glass of water off the table and threw it at Paige. Her body began to shake as electricity was bolted into her body. She fell to the ground unconscious.

"Ever hear the expression, "water and electricity don't mix?" Guess it's true," Todd said with a smirk. He knew when Paige woke up she would be more powerful than ever. He reached for her cell phone to call her sisters. It was time to get this show on the road.

Manor-Paige's bedroom

"Find anything yet?" Piper asked Leo. He was standing on a chair looking through boxes on the top shelf of Paige's closet.

"I think so," Leo said as he pulled a box down. It was labeled, Things from the Past. Leo sat the box down on the bed and he and Piper began looking through it. The first thing they saw were old pictures.

"Look at her, she was so small," Piper said with a grin. "I can't believe we've never seen these before." Upon saying that she felt extremely guilty. She and Phoebe were always so caught up with their own things that they never truly got to know their little sister. "I never even knew she was a girl scout," Piper said, holding up a picture of Paige in her uniform.

"I guess we have still have some catching up to do," Leo said.

"It's funny, you think you know everything about someone, and then you realize there's so much more you didn't even know. I think this family needs to spend more time together."

"You and your sisters have been busy lately. It wouldn't hurt to have one of your sister nights," Leo said.

"It's not just them, everyone in this family needs to talk," Piper said. She meant that she and Leo needed to talk as well.

"Piper..." Leo began. He knew he was guilty of hiding his true feelings for her. He reached out and took Piper's hand. "I promise we'll talk."

Piper looked into his eyes and for the first time in a while she felt he wanted the same thing as she did. The moment lasted only a few seconds and they were interrupted by Phoebe.

"Guys, Todd just called and Paige is with him."

"Thank God," Piper said. "Leo can you orb us?"

"Sure." The three joined hands and orbed to Todd's house.

Todd's House

Todd placed Paige on the couch and covered her with a blanket. She was still unconscious and he had to make it look like he cared about her. As he tucked the blanket around her, there was a knock on the door.

"Show time," he said, assuming that it was Paige's sisters. He opened the door and pretended to be concerned.

"Todd, thank you so much for calling," Phoebe said. "Where is she?"

"She's on the couch. Come in. I don't know what happened, but she just passed out."

"Oh my God, Paige," Piper said, walking over to her sister. She felt her forhead. "She's burning up. We need to get her home."

Paige began to stir. "Paige, wake up," Phoebe said.

As Paige opened her eyes, she immediately focused on Todd. She could almost hear him willing her to come to him. She pushed past her sisters and Leo and walked to Todd.

"Paige, we're going to take you home," Leo said, and reached his hand out to Paige.

"I am home," she said, looking at Todd, who returned her look and smiled.

Leo noticed this and began to understand what was going on. "We need to get out of here," he whispered to Piper.

"Not without Paige," she said.

"That's not Paige," Leo said.

"Oh come on, she's Paige," Todd said, overhearing the conversation. "She's just not your Paige, she's mine."

"What the hell is going on?" Phoebe asked.

"Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe," Todd said. "I can't believe it's taken you so long to figure this out. You would think a witch could spot a demon, but apparently not. You made my job easy, hell, you even set me up with your sister."

Phoebe began to charge at Todd, "You son of a......." she was hit back by a bolt of light sent by Paige.

"Don't," Paige said very stern.

"Come on baby, lets get out of here," Todd said to Paige, and together they shimmered out, leaving Piper, Phoebe, and Leo alone.
