After Paige had finished telling her story she had fallen asleep on the sofa. It was pretty late, so the rest of them decided to get some rest too. "I'll be up in a minute." Prue told her sisters, she just wanted to make sure Paige was ok.
"You can't blame yourself for what happened Prue, you were still just a little girl, there was nothing you could have done to prevent this." Piper stated, worried about her older sister. "I can't help but think that if I had noticed mom pregnant none of this would have happened. Paige could have grown up with us and we could fight evil together." Prue replied.
Just then Leo orbed in. "Hurry, you have to get Paige out of here! The Elders are going to be furious, they resent Piper and me if they find out about Paige, who knows what they'll do."
"You're too late Leo, we already have." A tall robed figure was standing in front of them. He didn't look happy. "We are willing to forgive you this once because you are blinded from the danger by your love for Piper, but don't try to come after Paige. We can sense you, and if you do, you'll be expelled." With that he turned to go, but Prue yelled out "Wait!"
"What danger? She has done nothing but good, she kills demons, she saves innocents, why can't you people see that? Are you so afraid of a mix that you would imprison someone who has spent her life helping people? Someone who, despite the horrors in her life, has never turned evil or used her magic for personal gain?" Prue was seething, she just got her sister back, and she wasn't going to let some creep take her away again.
The Elder just stood there, calmly waiting for her to finish before he spoke. "It is you who is blind. This girl, this monster is a half-bread, a danger. Who knows what powers she may have. She may be good now, but if she were ever to turn evil, or if a demon got her powers, who knows what would happen."
Piper stepped up this time. "You say that, but it's the same gamble with any other witch. How can you condemn her, and her alone?"
The Elder just said, "Because of what she is." Then he disappeared.
Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Leo ran into the living room. Paige was gone.
