Wow, I'm glad you guys like it so much. Nothing's even happened yet and you guys like it already. I would be like, um no, until something happens, it sucks. Whatever. Thank you so much to those who reviewed, to those who didn't: Never mind I won't threaten because I don't review everybody I read. I do review most though... Like The-Cheese-Fairy. A very good author and you should check out her story (I hope you're a girl lol). Anyways, you're either not reading this, or you really don't give a damn, so lets get on with it!

harshestmemories25- Well I've got to say, I've never had anyone tell me they can't wait for someone to get raped, but then again I've never had anyone say a lot of things to me that people have said on this website, so whatever. I'm glad you like it. What do you have against Paige by the way? Paige rocks!

Alyssa Halliwell- I love when Cole's crazy too. He's so hilarious. That penthouse scene was great. Thanks!

.Shop-O-Holic.- Bitchin' huh? Again, something I've never been told before. I'm thrilled that it's so good to everyone. Thanks for your review.

The-Cheese- Fairy- Yay! My favoritest author! I'm so happy you reviewed. No worries that you took so long, I understand how it can be. And the whole thing about having so much to do, I completely understand that too. I forgot you're a Phoebe hater. That's great. I'm not a big fan of her either. Anyways, thanks!

So anyways... Onward!

Paige awoke with a start, her body drenched in sweat. Piper was holding her and looking at her strangely. She had had the dream again. It had been real; at least it felt like it.

"Are you okay honey?" Piper asked, looking worried. Paige tried to clear her panic. She was home. She was safe. Cole couldn't get her here. She was safe. The thought repeated in her head over and over again until she believed it.

"Yeah," she whispered dryly.

"You had the dream again didn't you?" Piper confirmed, already knowing. Paige nodded; looking scared to death, despite her earlier convincing.

"It was so real," she whimpered, falling into Piper's arms.

"I know baby girl, I know. It's okay, it wasn't real. You're okay," Piper soothed. Paige took deep breaths, calming down again. She was becoming worried. She had the dream every time she closed her eyes and it was exhausting her. She was starting to believe that the dream would come true, and once she was in Cole's hands, there would be no saving her.

"I'm scared, Piper," Paige confessed. Piper nodded.

"I know. It's gonna be alright. I'm not gonna let him get you, even if that means having to tell Phoebe," she said, trying to reassure Paige. Paige shook her head.

"There's no way. We can't make her worry anymore than she does," she protested.

"Paige, Phoebe doesn't worry, first of all, and second of all, it's my job to worry about her worrying. That's why I'm the oldest," Piper replied sternly. Paige sighed.

"Okay, but only as a last resort," she compromised. Piper nodded in agreement and stood up.

"Come on," she said, taking Paige's hands, "I'll make you some tea."

"Thanks," Paige said, following her sister down the steps. When they got into the kitchen, the phone rang. Piper answered.

"Hello," she said, a little more annoyed than she intended.

"Piper, it's Danny. There's a problem at the club. We need you here as soon as possible," someone said on the other line. Piper sighed.

"Okay, I'll be there soon," she said, hanging up the phone.

"Who was that?" Paige asked.

"Danny from the club. He said there's an emergency and I need to get there as soon as possible. While I'm gone, I don't want you out of the house. You need to stay here just until this whole thing with Cole dies down," Piper instructed firmly. Paige nodded, not in the hurry to be captured by one of her least favorite people in the world. Piper shook her cell phone at Paige to indicate that she would have it in case anything came up and hurried out the door. Paige sank back in her chair, deciding that relaxation without sleep would be the best option for her. She lazily orbed to the couch and settled in. Her eyes immediately started to slide shut. She snapped them open again.

"You are not going to sleep," she told herself firmly. Much to her dismay, her eyes started falling closed again, and in no time she was asleep.

Dream

Paige walked down the street late at night. She didn't feel right. The tingle shot through her spine as always. She knew what was coming, and yet she couldn't do anything about it. It had to happen this way. Cole was going to get her, and there was nothing she could do. She jumped slightly as her cell phone began to ring. She went to get her purse, but it wasn't there. She looked around and realized that she was no longer on the street. She was in the manor, on the couch. This wasn't her dream. Why was she here?

End

Paige jumped up from her sleep. The phone beside her was ringing loudly. She groaned and picked it up, answering it groggily.

"Hello," she mumbled.

"Paige, it's about time you pick up. I called the house phone, but you didn't answer," Darryl said on the other end.

"Sorry Darryl, I was sleeping," Paige apologized.

"That's okay. Anyways, I need you down at the station ASAP. I have a case that might deal with your area of expertise," he said. Paige hesitated. If she hurried, she could talk to Darryl quickly and be home before dark.

"Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes," Paige said.

"Okay, and Paige," Darryl said, catching her before she hung up, "don't orb. The boss installed a new surveillance system. There are cameras everywhere. The last thing I need is to have to explain why I had someone suddenly appear in my office out of nowhere. The cameras are set up all around the outside too. You also can't drive in, the road's blocked off. Looks like you have to walk. Sorry for the inconvenience," he said and quickly hung up, not wanting to catch her rage at the new information. Paige hung up the phone in a daze. She had to walk? The police station wasn't that far away, but she would have to walk home. That's exactly what she was doing in her dream; right before Cole snatched her away.

Cole sat comfortably on the rooftop of the house right across the street from the manor. He had been watching the house all day and now was his chance to get Paige.

"You'll never be able to get her while she's in the house," he said to himself.

"Yeah, but I brought an anti-orb charm," he fought back.

"That won't help. There are forces inside that house to work against evil. Besides, you never know when one of her sisters might be home," his first half said.

"But what if she doesn't leave?" his other half asked. As he sat there bickering with himself, Paige walked out of the house. She looked around cautiously before beginning to walk down the street. Cole smiled.

"Looks like I won," his first half said. He watched Paige walk down the street as fast as she could. She turned a corner and he shimmered in, staying far behind her, but keeping her in his sight. He followed her for a couple of blocks before watching as she walked into the police station. There he waited in the shadows, knowing that if she had walked in, she would eventually have to walk out.

"You'll pay witch. I swear to you, you'll pay," he whispered venomously.

Paige sat in Darryl's office, nervously tapping her foot. She had been in here for a few hours now as he explained the situation, making sure that she took notes so it could be a clean operation. He told her that he wanted them to be absolutely sure that they knew what it was so that they could get it right the first time and get rid of it without any risk of exposing magic or worse: exposing his ties to magic and making him lose his job.

"Paige?" he asked, shaking her out of her thoughts.

"What?" she asked, startled.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah,"

"Okay," Darryl said skeptically, returning to his explanation. Paige looked at the clock. She knew it was getting darker by the minute and she wanted to get home soon. Darryl finally finished about a half an hour later and Paige assured him that she would figure it out before rushing out the door.

"Shit," she muttered, seeing that it was dark. She walked as fast as she could towards the manor, eager to get home. The familiar tingle flew up her spine and she shuddered. A hand clamped around her mouth, startling her and she screamed, finding them muffled. She instinctively tried to orb, but couldn't. Arms wrapped tightly around her.

"Don't try to scream. No one can hear you," a chilling voice said from behind her. She stopped struggling, not because she realized whom the voice belonged to, but because she already knew. This was how it went.

"That's a good witch. Now, you're coming with me," Cole said. Paige felt a pain spread through her head for a split second before blacking out. She fell limply into Cole's arms and he shimmered her out to a place where no one would find them.

Dun, dun, dun! Haha, I can't wait to get into the good stuff. I can't believe it took me three chapters just to set that up. This is a short chapter, but the good good good stuff is in the next one. Review me, review me, add me to your author alert, review me, add me to your favorites, and review me. Repeat as necessary. Haha, I'm tired but hyper. Can you tell? Anyways, till next time...
