Damage – A New Hope

Paige sat looking out the window, her hand desperately clawing at the reinforced glass. A tear slowly dripping down her face, suddenly the door opened behind her. A nurse walked in and walked over to Paige,

"Paige we've spoken about this. You're not supposed to get so close to the window," she smiled gently and tried to usher Paige down. But she wouldn't move,

"Can't. Mustn't... won't! They're looking for me. How can they find me?" she said, muttering gently under her breath,

"Paige, no one is looking for you,"

"Yes. They are. They need me." Paige paused and looked in the nurses eyes, "They need me... I'm charmed,"

"Paige, your charming I know this. I've been seeing you for three years, I know how nice you are,"

"CHARMED!" yelled Paige, "Not nice. Not charming... nope, nope, never. Always Charmed,"

"Paige, come down from the window," asked the nurse,

"But they won't be able to see me," she pleaded,

"Come on now. Come with me,"

"No. I have to stay... just for a while. Then I can go out. I will meet them. They're coming."

"No one is coming Paige. Your parents died. You know this."

"Not parents – sisters," replied Paige.

"You don't have sisters Paige," said the nurse, she lifted her hand to Paige's chin, "You're an only child," she looked straight into Paige's eyes. "Sometimes I don't think you hear a word I say," she said quietly. She ushered Paige of the windowsill with a lot of reluctance from Paige and sat her on the bed. "Paige, its late, you should try to get some sleep," With that she left the room.

"Piper, think about what you're doing," pleaded Leo, Piper was frantically wandered around the bedroom. Although it was one in the morning and was usually asleep by this time tonight she couldn't sleep.

"Leo, I have thought. This is what we have to do. Even if she doesn't want to be our sister she can help us kill Shax. She has to help us." Said Piper, trying to rationalise her thoughts.

"She might not care." Replied Leo bluntly,

"She will help us! She owes it to Prue," Muttered Piper,

"Piper. You're not making any sense. I know you want to kill Shax, I do too but this new sister won't care. She doesn't know you and she didn't know Prue. She doesn't even know that magic exists. You can't just interrupt her life for your revenge. We will get Shax by ourselves,"

"We can't Leo! For God's sake why don't you understand that we can't get him alone. We need her!"

"You can't force her to be your sister, she can't be Prue!" Piper glared at Leo when he yelled that, she marched over to him.

"Don't you think I know that? I lost my big sister and I can never get her back. I've tried to contact her and I can't even do that! I lost her and I can't find her. The least I can do is kill the bastard who killed her!"

"Paige is sick!" yelled Leo, Piper's face dropped. She sat down beside Leo, and waited for him to continue,

"What do you mean... sick?"

"She's in hospital Piper,"

"What aren't you telling me?" asked Piper, Leo looked around the room, determined to avoid his wife's glances. "Leo!" she said roughly,

"She's in a hospital,"

"You said that already," snapped Piper, growing more suspicious.

"Let me finish. She's in a hospital for the mentally ill."
