Chapter 5

Paige was sitting in her warehouse, when a shadow fell over her. Spinning around, she formed an orb-ball (like an energy-ball but made of blue orbs instead of fire) in her hand and threw it at the intruder.

Piper yelped and put up her hands, the orb-ball stopped three feet away from her.

"Paige! Stop, it's me, Phoebe!" To Phoebe's surprise, Paige held out her hand and the orb-ball disappeared.

"Sorry," she said, "but I was expecting a demon, no one else ever comes looking for me."

"That's ok, these are my sisters. I believe you've already met Prue," here Paige blushed, "Sorry." She mumbled. "and this is Piper, the only one of us you haven't met yet." "We want you to come back to our house with us." Prue said. Looking at Paige, her youngest sister, Prue couldn't help feeling ashamed. She, Piper, and Phoebe had grown up together, and Paige, well Paige was unwanted and homeless, living on the streets and mugging people to survive, all because she had a different father. "We need to talk about something."

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

Prue's ashamed feeling grew as she listened to Paige's story. It wasn't just because Paige was her baby sister, and she had had a terrible life while Prue's life was fine. Prue also felt ashamed because sometimes she had wanted to use her power to help herself, to do what she wanted and not abide those stupid rules. But here was this homeless person, who could've used her power to get food and a place to stay, but instead she chose to live on the street, cold and hungry rather than use her power for personal gain.

Piper and Phoebe felt much the same way, but not as much a Prue. Prue was the big sister, the one in charge, and when you've faced death as much as they had, the feeling of responsibility increased. Prue felt like she had abandoned Paige. She was the oldest, she should have noticed her mother was pregnant. But she hadn't, and Paige had faced a life of rejection and pain.

It hurt Paige to relive her past, but something about these people made her want to tell them about her life, something about them made her feel safe and wanted for the first time in her life.
