Paige's funeral came to an end, Phoebe cried into Cole's chest, Prue was being comforted by her dad, and Paige's dad, Sam, was sitting with them.
"I can't believe she's gone," Prue said, they nodded and walked outside for the burial.
They watched as Paige's coffin was lowered into the ground, the same thing was running through the heads of Prue, Phoebe and Cole; "what could I have done?" Prue looked behind her to see Piper and Leo flame in next to a far tree, she ran over to them.
"Happy now?" she asked, using her telekinesis to throw them through the air,
"not quite," Leo said, forming a fire ball and throwing it at her, she deflected it and Leo destroyed it with a red energy bolt. Piper tried to blow up her big sister but missed, blowing up a tree,
"looks like evil's made you lose control of your witch powers," Prue said, Piper and Leo took hands and flamed back to the underworld.
Hours had passed since the funeral, but Phoebe, Prue, Cole and Sam still stood next Paige's grave, they looked up to see a group of darklighters appear in black orbs. Prue used her power to move them backwards, while Sam orbed out, narrowly escaping a darklighter arrow. Phoebe levitated up and smacked a kick into one of the darklighter's jaw, knocking him over, Cole vanquished two of them with energy balls and then two more the same way.
"I don't understand, Sam's gone, there are no more whitelighters here for them to kill," Phoebe said to Cole, Prue wasn't listening, "why aren't they leaving?" Cole vanquished more darklighters with energy balls, until just one was left,
"Sam's gone, so why did you stay," Prue questioned, holding the darklighter to the floor by his throat.
"We didn't come for him, we came for the new whitelighter," he managed to say,
"what are you talking about?" Prue asked.
"I think I know," Phoebe said, pointing up to the sky, they all looked up to see orbs shooting down through it. The orbs struck Paige's grave, entering it, the headstone started shaking and then they all fell back as it exploded, dirt and pieces of stone sprayed over them. Cole spat out some soil as orbs rose from the explosion and smoke, they circled and formed a person, the family watched in complete shock.
