"Miss Matthews!" it said. "Silence! Do questions about the girl bring you here?" it questioned.

Chapter 3: The truth

Paige whipped around to the direction of the voice. "Yeah, I'm here because of

Caitlin! Not "the girl"!" she yelled. "I say it again. Silence!" the voice roared. Paige

obliged and quietly stood in her place. Chris looked at his aunt in surprise. He knew she

was headstrong, but to yell at the leader of Elders, was somewhat of a honour. For that

is who the voice was, the leader of Elders. He was dressed in a golden robe, with a

silver staff in his right hand. Leo, who was still standing there, bowed down to him.

"Greetings Godric." Leo said. Godric nodded towards him and Leo stood up. "Now,

Miss Matthews. If you done screeching at me, like some parrot, I will tell you what you

desire to know." Paige's eyebrows narrowed in fury at being referenced to as a bird.

However, she nodded and allowed the Elder to carry on. "First of all," he began "Leo

and Chris, leave now!" Both nodded and quickly orbed out, leaving Paige alone. "As

Leo so rightly said," Godric began "you were never supposed to know, or more

precisely remember, about the girl. She would have destroyed your entire destiny. The

Charmed Ones would not have been reconstituted. You would have never found you

sisters. All your time would have been devoted to taking care of her. Not finding the

truth. " Godric took a breath as he continued. "Furthermore, this girl is immensely

powerful. There has never been a child born into this world that is three-quarters

whitelighter and one-fourth witch. She has amazing abilities without even knowing it."

"You know, that's fascinating, really." Paige said sarcastically, "But I want to know

something of more importance; is she my daughter?" Godric sighed, and for a second,

lost his powerful demeanour. Paige noticed this, before his mask returned. "Yes, she is

your daughter."

Back at Halliwell manor, Caitlin had woken up and was being entertained by Piper

and Phoebe. They told her stories from their childhood and of Paige's. They even told

her about Prue. Which proved to them, that they could trust her. "I want to thank you

again." Caitlin said. "I didn't know where my meal would come from, to tell you the

truth. I feel so relieved that I got away from Brenda. She was too much." Piper and

Phoebe nodded in sympathy. After hearing Caitlin's story, they knew that the girl had

been through a lot. Suddenly, Wyatt, Piper's son, orbed into his mother's arms. Caitlin,

at seeing this, sent a questioning glance towards the sisters. She had somehow grown to

trust these people. Would they trust her? Piper and Phoebe slowly began to explain the

source of Wyatt's powers, their powers and magic in general. They talked of their fears

when they first discovered their powers, the fun times they had playing with spells from

the Book, how they sometimes felt that magic had betrayed them and hopes of someday

having a magic free life. They sat in silence for a while, allowing Caitlin to absorb all this

new information. Time continued to pass, making Caitlin more and more drowsy. She

soon fell asleep, contented that she was finally safe. Piper and Phoebe slowly walked to

the kitchen, allowing her to sleep. At that moment, Paige orbed in with Chris, looking

hurt, angry, confused and scared. "Phoebe was r-right." she whimpered, "Caitlin's my

daughter."

Alright I'm ending it there. I didn't want to give away everything in one chapter. Godric's full explanation will be given in the next chapter, so stay tuned. R & R Thanks!
