Paige woke up early the next morning feeling truly refreshed for the first time in years. One would think it would have been one of those flashback moments where you take a few moments to remember where you are, but it wasn't. Paige knew exactly where she was, the events of yesterday were imprinted in her mind, she would never forget the feeling of happiness that had engulfed her upon learning she had a family.
She got up and looked around and saw Prue lying on the ground next to her. Paige stepped carefully over her before turning around and orbing Prue up onto the sofa. Prue rolled over but didn't wake.
Paige walked around the house until she found the stairs. She didn't know why but she had to see something somewhere and she had a feeling that something was up the stairs. Her feet carried her to the attic and over to a book that was lying on a stand.
Paige traced the design on the front, a three triangle/oval thing. As her fingers finished tracing the pattern it began to glow, brighter and brighter till she had to cover her eyes from the blinding light. It flashed once then died away altogether. When she looked again the design had changed, instead of three things, there were four triangle/oval things all interconnected.
Paige felt a warmth spread threw her fingers from where she had touched the book throughout the rest of her body. It was the feeling of truly belonging, the feeling of power, and the feeling of everything good, the feeling of love.
She opened the book and began to read. With each page the warmth in her grew until she began to shine with the light, it pulsated threw her willing her to understand. And when she finally did the power died away, not gone, just absorbed inside her soul waiting for her to call it out again.
This was her power, part of the power of four. They all had powers other than the main ones, but each of them had a main power, a power granted through the power of three (now four). And now Paige had hers. The power to channel good. She raised her hand and watched as it began to glow again. If she touched a demon while using her power it would hurt him, her touch was toxic to evil, but it was a healing touch to good.

Prue woke up with a start, she was lying on the sofa and Paige was nowhere in sight. She should have felt panic, but instead she felt peaceful, warmth passed over her reassuring her. She calmly got up and began to walk up the stairs toward the source of the peaceful feeling. She met Phoebe and Piper on the stairs, none of them said anything they just walked into the attic.
Paige was standing there. She was glowing with a soft white light, slowly the light died away but no one said anything. She lifted her hand and it began to glow again, she turned around and smiled at them.
"Look," she said, "I'm really part of you now."
"You always were." Prue said.
Just then the book began to turn, pages flipped and the moment was broken. Paige's hand stopped glowing and the four of then gathered around the book.
"The Tempest," Phoebe said, "Don't the Elders ever give us a break."
"Nope, thought you would have realized that by now." Piper said.
The four of them laughed, they were a family, through the good and the bad and now that it was time to face the next challenge, it was worth it.
