Chapter 17

Paige walked along the floor toward Piper and Phoebe's cage, she was so confused. After several hours of investigating she discovered that she still had to breath, she could orb herself but not other objects unless she was touching them, and that no one could see her. In fact, she had all of her wightlighter powers, and none of her witch powers. She had tried a few spells and none of them worked.

Paige was now standing right in front of the cage, looking at her ashes, which were half in, half out of the cage. She bent down and ran her fingers threw them. To her surprise, as soon as she touched them, they began to run up her arm and along her body.

Realization hit her, the Source had killed her human half, and not her wightlighter half, but she wasn't really dead because she could only die if both parts of her died. No one could see her because she wasn't fully there. But when her human half rejoined with her wightlighter half…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Piper and Phoebe were unable to look at the spot where Paige had died, they both felt they had failed her. Both of them knew that soon, they would be just as dead and so would Harry, Ron, and Hermione, but they still were unable to keep themselves from seeing her die over and over again in their minds. Remembering how the Source laughed, and how she had disappeared in flames.

Piper looked up, she had to look just once more, just to be sure it wasn't a dream. She gasped causing Phoebe to look around too, both of them stared as Paige's ashes collected themselves together and formed Paige, looking just the same, if not a little shaken.

"Paige?" Piper whispered.

Paige grimaced, "You know, getting incinerated isn't a pleasant process." Now that Paige's two half's were reconnected, she could remember the pain of getting fried, "I'm starting to feel sorry for some of those demons we vanquished."

"Paige, how?" Phoebe said, both Piper and Phoebe had rushed over to the bars and stood looking at her with tears in their eyes.

They listened to her explanation, which was rather confusing, but they didn't care. She was alive and that's what counted.

"So now I'll get you out of there and we can vanquish the Source." Paige was saying before Phoebe cut her off.

"No Paige, you'll have to go make more potion first. If he comes back and we're not here there's going to be hell to pay, literally."

"But the Source is going to kill you next, what if I fall asleep and don't make it back in time?" Paige protested. She knew in sounded rather desperate but she didn't like the idea of leaving Piper and Phoebe down here.

"Paige, do you really think you're going to fall asleep? I'll be fine, now go."

"What about Harry, Ron, and Hermione?" Paige asked.

"Let them sleep, we'll wake them when we've taken care of the Source. Then we can help Harry go after Voldemort." Piper said.

With one last worried look at her sisters, Paige orbed home.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She didn't waste any time, Paige immediately started working on the potion and getting everything ready. In addition to the Source killing potion, she also made an acid-like to take care of the cage.

After checking to make sure she had everything, Paige orbed back down to the Underworld, it was a quick matter to release Piper and Phoebe and distributing the potions.

"Ok, let's go find him." Paige said, "I'm looking forward to repaying him the favor."

Piper and Phoebe didn't say anything, they didn't need too, it was time for the Source to pay, not just for Paige, but for Prue and everyone else he ever killed. Now was his time to die.

"Well this is interesting." A voice said from behind them. Turning they saw the Source in all his black robe splendor standing about thirty feet away.
