The Two Faces Of Paige:
Paige shuffled through the foyer and towards the front door, she reached forward and half-heartedly pushed down the handle, opening it, she groggily looked down at who was on the doorstep,
"go away," she groaned, trying to slam the door in his face.
"Paige, wait," he said, holding the door open,
"go away Glenn," she told him,
"no, not until you let me ask you one thing," he replied,
"fine," she said,
"Paige," he began, getting down on one knee, "how bout we do it all over again, get married again?"
"what are you asking me?" she asked,
"I'm asking you to renew our vows," he said. The witchlighter just looked at the man with an odd look on her face,
"I'm going back to bed," she simply said, heading back upstairs,
"I'm not leaving until you answer me," he called after her,
"you know where everything is," came the reply, before he heard her door close.
Later that same morning, Paige sat in the kitchen tapping her fingers on the table,
"will you stop that," Piper said, one week old Charlotte had kept her, Leo and Patrice up all night,
"sorry," Paige apologised, beginning to twiddle her thumbs.
"What's wrong with you?" Piper asked, eyeing her sister's fidgety hands,
"yeah, Glenn knocked round earlier this morning, proposed we renew our vows," she replied, Piper's eyes widened,
"what are you gonna do?" she asked,
"get some help," Paige told her,
"just don't make the same mistake I did, don't try to solve your problems with magic," Piper said, before walking off to change Charlotte's diaper.
"Magic, it's worth a try," Paige said to herself, not keeping Piper's words of warning in mind, the whitelighter-witch orbed upstairs.
Once in the attic she moved over to the book, but surprisingly it shot away from her grasp,
"magic is not the answer," a voice whispered, a breeze passed through the room,
"fine then, I'll just write my own spell," Paige said, walking over and grabbing a pen and notepad. She began to scribble down a spell, but when she felt an invisible force tug on the paper she used her orb-deflection to block outside forces from taking it. Paige quickly read through her spell to make sure it made sense before saying it:
"to help me find my peace of mind,
I say this spell, this magical rhyme,
help me choose the right love,
bring myself to happiness and grace,
but not with the consequences Piper did face,"
there was a loud crash and Paige was sent flying backwards,
"uh oh," she gasped, looking up at the trio who had just appeared, one was a being identical to herself, and the other two were little girls, one slightly older than the other.
"Demon!" the youngest girl exclaimed, throwing a fire ball at Paige, who used her orb-deflection to send it back,
"you're the demon little missy," she said, watching the girl shimmer out and back in again to dodge the rebounding fire ball.
"Who are you?" Paige questioned,
"you summoned us," the second Paige stated,
"what the hell is goin on?" Piper asked, walking in with Charlotte in her arms and Karis, Grace and Patrice shortly following behind.
"I….urm.…" the real Paige stammered,
"you cats a spell," Piper completed the sentence,
"yeah, but I even wrote for it to not have consequences like it did with you," Paige told her,
"that means nothing," Piper stated,
"you still haven't told me why I'm here!" the alternate Paige exclaimed,
"because I cast a spell to help me find out whether it's Glenn or Kyle who're my true love," real Paige replied.
"Okay, I'm gonna get really confused so what are your names?" Piper asked,
"Paige Anderson," the other Paige introduced herself,
"Anderson?" Paige repeated,
"married," she replied,
"my name's Laura," the older girl said, Piper couldn't help but snort a small laugh at the small girl's determination to freeze her and real Paige.
"Me MJ," the other girl said,
"I don't care what your name is," Paige said, "why do you look after mini-demons in your world?"
"she's my niece, Phoebe's and Cole's daughter, though she's practically all Cole, magic-wise anyway," Paige Anderson replied.
"Which one my mommy?" Laura asked,
"dat one," MJ replied, pointing to the real Paige, "she's mean,"
"my mommy's not mean," Laura protested, MJ shrugged,
"auntie Piper can I go play wiv Andy?" she asked,
"he's at work right now," Piper replied,
"don't be silly," Laura giggled,
"Andy doe work," MJ laughed, "he too ickle,"
"not in this world, Andy's an adult," Piper told them. Karis, Grace and Patrice sheepishly walked over to the two little girls,
"Andy our uncle," Karis said,
"we got uncle Andy too, but he in Heaven," Laura replied, MJ nodded,
"I can see this might cause problems," Piper said,
"yeah, especially if Andy's alive in your world, if we're lucky we get to see him and/or Prue every few months, maybe year," Paige Anderson told her,
"Prue? Prue's dead too?" Paige asked,
"yeah, are you saying she's alive in your world?" Paige Anderson asked, they noticed a small tear glisten in her eye.
"Yeah," Paige replied,
"how bout I take the kids downstairs?" Piper said, both Paige's nodded and the molecular witch led the children down to the conservatory where a lot of the toys were,
"so, who's place did you take in the power of three?" Paige Anderson asked,
"Phoebe's, she died, but she's back now, she's the Angelic Seer," Paige explained, Paige Anderson gave a confused look, Paige understood this look from the mirror and took the time to tell her alternate universe duplicate about everything that had happened since she discovered her sisters, and vice versa.
Downstairs, however, Piper wasn't having much luck with the kids, mainly the words from the different world, Laura and Karis were arguing over who was Paige's daughter, not realizing they both had their individual versions of Paige as a mother, Grace was trying to make MJ think she was really clever by teaching Patrice how to say 'demon', while Charlotte seemed happy asleep in her bassinet.
Not much later, Paige and Paige Anderson were still deep in conversation, but had now moved on to the subject of love,
"so your husband's called Mark?" Paige asked, Paige Anderson nodded,
"he's a nauctator, kinda like the cross between a witch and a hunter," she said.
"Well you're so lucky, the father of my child left us to go travelling and hooked up with some girl called Jennifer, then I fell in love with someone called Kyle and this morning Glenn asked me to renew our vows," Paige told her,
"you married Glenn?" Paige Anderson asked,
"yeah, didn't you two ever get together after High School in your world?" Paige replied,
"no, in my world Paige and Glenn just didn't fit," she replied,
"I'm starting to think that myself," Paige said.
"Or maybe that's just it, maybe in your world there's supposed to be Paige and Glenn?" Paige Anderson said,
"I don't work with maybes," Paige stated,
"okay, so do you think Paige and Kyle fit together?" Paige Anderson asked, the other Paige shrugged. Suddenly, a prism of flames formed a ghost,
"Hades," Paige whispered,
"that's right," he said, his voice very demonic and sounding almost like Darth Vader from Star Wars. The ancient god stretched out his hand, striking Paige Anderson with an energy bolt,
"I was alerted of a strange presence, and now I know what is, you," he hissed, blasting her through the air with a fire ball. Paige decided it was time to step in and used her orb-deflection to send a second fire ball back at him,
"I'm a ghost," he laughed, as the flaming sphere passed straight through him,
"that makes two of us," a voice said, both Paige and Hades looked to see Paige Anderson's spirit hovering partially above her body, she smiled and nodded at Paige, before glaring at Hades and chanting:
"ashes to ashes, spirit to spirit,
take his soul, banish this evil."
The spell had not affect, Piper had heard the commotion and had ran upstairs,
"wait, why didn't it work?" Paige Anderson asked,
"because not only am I a ghost, but I'm a god," Hades replied, forming an energy ball and preparing to throw it at her,
"Paige see if you can heal her quick," Piper ordered, blowing up the energy ball in Hades' palm. The youngest charmed one ran to heal her alternative self, she smiled with success as a warm glow emitted from her hands, healing the large wound in Paige Anderson's chest and sending her soul back into her body.
At Magic School, Prue, Andy and Phoebe were ducked down behind a bookshelf, waiting for Phobia to walk passed,
"okay, so what makes you think she's gonna tell us about the Barbas bubble you saw?" Andy asked,
"my bet is that it went back to whatever part of hell it came from," Phoebe said,
"because there's definitely some good left in hew, otherwise she wouldn't be conjuring him to he, all she wanted was to see if his powers would make her more evil," Prue answered her husband's question. They all jumped up from their hiding place when Phobia came into sight, Prue threw out her hands, sending the teen flying across the hall and sliding down half of the corridor,
"Prue, there was no need for that," Phoebe said, beginning to walk over to where Phobia lay. The warlighter-demon sat up in one quick movement and used a telekinetic blast of her own to throw Phoebe through the air.
"How many new powers does she have? she truly must be evil," Prue said,
"hi kettle, I'm Prue, and you're black," Andy commented, the eldest sister glared at her husband, before turning her attention back to Phobia,
"I will get my father's powers," she hissed,
"not if I get yours first," a creepy voice in the air said,
"Barbas," Phoebe muttered.
Back at the manor, the two Paiges and Piper were dodging numerous attacks by Hades, fire balls, energy balls, lightening bolts, he was shooting allsorts at them, they all seemed to go in slow motion as MJ shimmered in, but she was different. The little girl had a black line across one eye and a red hexagon on her temple,
"my, my, what do we have here?" Hades smirked,
"me!" MJ roared, launching a horde of fire balls at the ghostly god, causing his form to fade slightly,
"you're strong for just a small demon," he said, "but that won't stop me from killing everyone in your family, in this world anyway," he told her, flaming out. The words 'killing' and 'family' made MJ get angry, extremely angry, she began to scream and shout, shimmering out every few seconds,
"MJ calm down," Paige Anderson said, going over to her niece, but MJ just ignored her, "Melinda-Jayne Halliwell stop it this instant," Paige Anderson commanded, she didn't want to shout, but it would appear that was the only way to get through the MJ today. Orbs swirled in the air and formed Laura,
"I take Melly-Jay downstairs," she said, taking hold of Melinda-Jayne's wrist and orbing them back down to the conservatory,
"her mommy will sort her out when we get back, but for that to happen I must fulfil my purpose for being here," Paige Anderson stated,
"I'll get back to the kids," Piper said, jogging downstairs.
"Right, so what're we gonna do to help me choose?" Paige asked,
"when you and Glenn got together, did you see it as something long-term?" Paige Anderson questioned,
"not really, neither of us did, he wanted to see the world and I wanted to help kids, I really wasn't ready for one of my own, but when I found out I was pregnant that changed everything, you could say it affected everything I planned to do, but if I had a chance to, I wouldn't change a thing, I love Karis more than life itself, more than any man," Paige replied,
"you've just made your choice Paige," Paige Anderson smiled, holding her 'twin's' hands.
"What d'you mean?" Paige asked in shock,
"you've just told me you only love Glenn because he became a real part of your life along with Karis, in my opinion you only love him because he's the father of your child," Paige Anderson replied, Paige glanced around as it all sunk in.
In Glenn's hotel room, he was watching some television when there was a knock on the door, he turned if off and went to see who it was,
"Paige," he beamed,
"hi Glenn," she said.
"I'm so glad you're here," he told her,
"I only came to give you these," she informed him, giving him the brown envelope she held, he looked slightly confused as he opened it,
"divorce papers," he whispered,
"I'm not going to stop you from seeing our daughter Glenn, we'll sort something out, but I think it's best she lives with me, and not just because of her magic," Paige explained, he could only nod and watch as she left.
The witchlighter left the hotel, walking out into the rain, she made sure no one was looking and orbed out, orbing back in again in Kyle's apartment,
"hello? anybody home?" she called,
"Paige? is that you?" a voice asked, as Kyle walked out from his bedroom.
"It certainly is," she smiled, "and I came to give you this," she walked forward and pressed a passionate kiss to his lips,
"wow," he said, as they parted,
"I'll tell you now it's better than what I gave Glenn," she told him,
"why? what did you give Glenn?" he asked,
"divorce papers," she replied, he grinned and wrapped his arms around her waist, their bodies connecting but their lips.
To be continued….
A/N. And here ends Paige-ness, well not completely but she'll take a seat in the back for a bit now, and no longer will the chapters all start with 'the'.
Next chapter- Part two of the crossover. The plans to return Paige Anderson, Laura and MJ back are ruined when a bit of rivalry between Karis and Laura lead to them supernaturally locking everybody else out of the house, but what they didn't know was that their spell didn't work on demons….
'Rivalry of the AU Siblings' should be up in a short time.
