Chapter 8

Todd's House

"How could I have done this?" Phoebe questioned. "How could I have just let my sister go out on a date with a demon?! Better yet, how could I set her up on a date with him?"

"Phoebe!" Piper yelled. "This isn't going to help us get her back."

"I know. I just can't help but feel guilty. None of this would have happened if I hadn't pushed her to go out on a date."

"This isn't anyone's fault," Leo said. "We need to focus on getting Paige back because she doesn't have much time."

"How do you know?" Piper asked.

"I can feel it. Whenever one of you is in trouble I can tell, but this time with Paige, it's different. It's like the more trouble she's in, the less I feel. It's probably because she's becoming less and less a Charmed One by the minute."

"So what do we do?" Phoebe asked. "How do we find her?"

"I think she'll find us," Leo said.

"How can you be sure?" Piper asked.

"There was something about Paige. She could have killed you Phoebe, but instead she just stunned you. As long as she is still connected to the Charmed Ones, she'll come back. We just have to be ready for her when she does. Our Paige is in there, we just have to find her," Leo reassured the sisters.

"Well we're not doing any good here, lets get back home and work on finding her," Piper said. With that, the three of them orbed home.

Cave

"Where are we?" Paige asked Todd as they walked through a dark cave.

"Home," he answered. "You're about to meet the family."

Paige began to feel a little uneasy about everything, but she followed Todd anyway. She just couldn't shake the feeling that she shouldn't be there. She felt like she was being pulled in another direction, but she wasn't sure why.

"What's wrong?" Todd asked. "Don't you want this?"

"I don't know," Paige began, "it's just that, I'm not sure I should be here."

"Of course you should be here," Todd replied. "Now come, follow me." He extended his hand and Paige reluctantly took it.

Manor-Attic

Piper and Phoebe were working on potions and spells when Leo entered.

"How is it coming?" Leo asked.

"I think we have the summoning spell, but I'm worried about the potion," Piper said.

"Why?" Leo questioned.

"Because the potion is supposed to kill shocker demons. I know Paige hasn't completely transformed, but what if it doesn't work right and she dies. I can't lose another sister," Piper said, looking down.

Leo placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "I promise you I won't let that happen." Their eyes met for a second, and then he broke the silence. "We really need to call for her."

Piper and Phoebe held the spell and the potions and prepared to call for Paige.

A Charmed One fallen, but not lost

We'll save her sole at all cost

We two witches call for thee

Come and set our sister free.

Cave

Paige felt her head begin to spin. She grabbed onto Todd to balance herself, but he was obviously feeling the same way. White lights surrounded them and they were carried to.....................................

Manor-Attic

"What the hell," Todd began. "What do you think you're doing?" Todd was in a crystal cage, however Paige was standing outside of it.

"I thought I told you to leave me alone," Paige said.

"Paige, you're our sister," Phoebe said.

"No. Stop saying that," Paige said. "I'm not your sister."

"Paige..." Piper said, stepping toward Paige. "You are our sister, whether you believe it or not."

"We love you Paige," Phoebe said also taking a step forward.

"No you're not, they're lying Paige," Todd said from inside the cage. "Don't listen to them."

"Paige, you need to listen to your sisters," Leo urged. "They can help you."

"Stop! All of you, just shut up!" Paige yelled. She was confused again. She didn't know who she was or who to believe. She wanted to believe Piper and Phoebe, but if she had sisters shouldn't she remember them?

Paige backed up and burried her head in her hands.
