Just to be clear: I do not own Charmed however much I would like to…any of the characters you recognize are probably not mine.

"Wait, what?" Phoebe's voice sounded through the line. Piper sighed, not really wanting to repeat it because somehow saying it aloud made her feel like it was irreversible. She swallowed. "She's dying."

"What? How…how did this happen?" Phoebe said in an alarmed voice.

"The doctors don't know. It some kind of disease in the blood. It's attacking her heart." Piper responded.

"Well is she gonna be ok?" Phoebe questioned.

"The doctors say its terminal. I don't know what to do."

"I'll be there soon. Bye."

Piper hung up the pay phone. She was still a little shocked. Piper slowly walked to the bathroom, and walked into a stall. "Leo! Leo!" She cried in an urgent whisper. She saw her husband orb into the bathroom stall. She opened her mouth to start explaining but before she got any words out Leo said, "I know…Paige."

"Leo, you have to heal her."

"I cant, the Elders won't allow it."

"Screw the Elders!" Piper yelled back. "I am sick and tired of you standing up for them Paige is dying! I went through this with Prue and I am not going through it again!"

Leo, knowing better than to stand up to her agreed. "Ok, I'll do it."

They started down the hall towards Paige's room. When Piper reached it, she paused for a moment before entering the room. Piper saw Paige lying there looking pale and fragile, like Snow White. Her brown hair lying across her chest only added to the imagery. Her lips matched her milky white skin, as her sunken eyes outlined with dark circles made her look even more sickly. Piper almost fainted at the sight of her. Luckily, Leo got straight to work. He extended his hands over her as the glow came out of his hands. All of a sudden, his hands began to shake, electrical bolts shot out of his hand into Paige. Leo was sent flying up against the wall. He sat up breathing heavily. "I'm sorry Piper. I can't heal her."
