Pure, Piper, Phoebe, and Leo stared at the sofa where they had last seen Paige.
"I'm going to get her." Leo informed them and was about to orb out when Piper said, "Stop Leo. If you go, the Elders will expel you, she our sister, let us take care of it."
"But Piper," Leo started to say, but he stopped when he saw the looks he was getting from all three sisters. "Fine." Leo said and fell silent.
"What are we going to do, I mean their the Elders, what can we do?" Phoebe asked, her voice shaking slightly. "Do you think they'll hurt her?"
"No," Leo ventured "They may hate her for what she is, but they are still a source of good, they won't hurt her, but that won't keep them from locking her up until she dies."
"We may have just met her, but she is our sister, if the Elders think that their being 'holy' and whatnot is going to stop us, they can go to hell" Prue said.
"You know how unlikely that is?" Leo asked. His comment was met with glares on all sides. "Right, sorry, not the point." He finished sheepishly.
"Let's go check the book, it might have something for insane Elders." Piper said without much hope.
No one wanted to voice that no one good had ever fought an Elder before. Even though they all knew the book wouldn't have anything, they still turned to it, it had helped them before, and you can't kill hope.

Paige woke up, and quickly shut her eyes again. Slowly she opened her eyes again and let them adjust. She was in a small squire room. All the walls were a brilliant white color, the light reflecting from the walls had temporarily blinded her.
The door opened, and three people came in. They were wearing long robes, and there was no expression on their faces. "Paige Halliwell, you are here because you are half wightlighter, half witch. This is a violation of our rules. While in this room, you do not need food or water. You will be spending the rest of your life here. This is the last time anyone will come here, so if you have any questions please voice them now."
Paige sat there stunned, she had to say something because they were turning to leave, "Wait! Who are you people? What's a wightlighter? What rules?" The men stopped looking exasperated. "I'll stay." One of them said. He explained tonelessly and Paige sat there, stunned.
When he left, she was still trying to understand, 'How could someone so good, be so prejudice?' A few hours passed before it sank in. Paige realized that the last person she would ever see was the toneless Elder, a person who hated her for what she was, hated her because her father was a wightlighter. Hated her because he didn't understand her. She just wished he had told her who her parents were, she understood now why they had given her up, they had given her a life, given her a chance, and for that she thanked them from the bottom of her heart.
