Just so you know, Paige/Rhea means Paige in Rhea, and Rhea/Paige means Rhea in Paige.
A Paige About Evil:
Five month old Charlotte sat in the playpen in the conservatory, banging some toy blocks together, while her mother sat watching her, basking in the Summer sun,
"I can believe it's nearly July," Paige said, orbing in on the chair next to Piper's,
"I know, the year's gone so quick," Piper stated.
"I can't believe dad has let Gabrielle stay!" Prue exclaimed, pressing down on the end button and throwing her cell phone at the wall, causing Charlotte to burst into tears,
"Prue, calm down," Piper told her, picking up her daughter,
"sorry," she apologised, sitting down, "it's just, with Phoebe and Cole on their honeymoon, and dad and Gabrielle still under the same roof, it's as if they never slept together," the eldest said.
"Yeah, well, Phoebe and Cole are in love, so I'm positive the thing with Gabrielle was a one-off, and if dad wants to stay with her then that's his problem," Piper said, putting Charlotte back in the playpen, after calming her down,
"Piper's right," Paige agreed,
"I suppose," Prue admitted defeat, "well anyway, I've got to get to work, I'm supposed to be taking photos of some guy they're interviewing," for once she didn't seem as happy as usual when it came to the topic of her job, but this was just because of the Phoebe/Cole/Gabrielle/Victor situation.
Later that afternoon, Paige was sitting alone in the attic when Cleo shimmered in,
"long time no see," the witchlighter stated, Cleo nodded and formed a glowing, red, ball, releasing it at Paige, who leapt to the floor, out of it's path.
"You can't dodge all of my attacks," Cleo hissed, shooting a lightening bolt from her palm,
"I know," Paige said, stretching out her hand and creating a shield of orbs, sending the lightening bolt back at Cleo, the Titan screamed out in pain as she met a fiery end,
"got rid of her," the whitelighter-witch said.
In the Dimension of Olympia, Rhea was slowly killing a witch, when she felt a pain in the pit of her stomach and dropped to her knees, giving the witch the chance to escape,
"my daughter," she sobbed, anger flared in her eyes as she dematerialised.
She appeared in-front of Paige,
"you killed my daughter," she hissed, throwing hot sparks at the witchlighter, before getting rid of them herself with another set, "I don't want to kill you, that's too easy, I want to punish you," she snarled.
"Is everything okay?" a voice asked from the stairs, before Andy walked in, Rhea darted forward and grabbed Paige, vanishing with her before Andy could do a thing.
Not much later, Paige awoke to find herself chained to a wall, Rhea standing opposite her, holding a scroll,
"I've been waiting for you to wake up, I wish I hadn't knocked you out to begin with, then I could have done this sooner," the Titan said, opening the scroll and reading the Latin spell which was written on it. Paige's soul left her body, as did Rhea's, then they flew into each other's bodies,
"what did you do?" Paige/Rhea asked,
"begin my revenge," Rhea/Paige replied, using Paige's powers to psychokinetically-orb a boulder at Paige/Rhea's head, knocking her to the floor, unconscious, then Rhea/Paige orbed out.
She orbed into the manor,
"thank god you're back, did Rhea do anything to you?" Andy asked, closing the Book of Shadows,
"no, I'm fine, I just orbed a rock at her head and orbed out," Rhea/Paige told him, before leaving the attic and walking into her bedroom.
Meanwhile, Piper pulled up outside the family home and got out of her jeep, closing the car door and walking up the steps, entering the house,
"I'm home," she called, no answer. She walked into the living room and found a note from Andy on the coffee table, saying he had gone to help a charge, then she headed upstairs and bumped into Paige on the way,
"I yelled and said I was home but you didn't say anything," she stated,
"yeah, I know," Rhea/Paige said, jogging down past Piper.
"Where're you going dressed like that?" Piper asked, glancing at the black leather pants, black boots and tight, black, halter neck, Rhea/Paige had changed into,
"somewhere," she replied, putting on Prue's leather jacket and orbing out,
"that girl gets stranger by the day," Piper commented, going into her bedroom.
In Chinatown, Rhea/Paige orbed in in the middle of the street, with plenty of people witnessing it, she grinned, she walked over to one of the market stalls, before chanting:
"I say these words, I say this rhyme,
to give these fruits their burning time."
The stall set on fire,
"next on my list, that one," she said to herself, looking at a herb shop, orbing into it and beginning to use her magic, completely wrecking it.
Back at the manor, Piper was baking some cookies when Paige/Rhea appeared,
"you just made a big mistake," the molecular said, forming a destructive icicle,
"Piper wait," Paige/Rhea told her, "it's me, Paige, and I can prove it." Piper's eyebrow raised,
"go ahead," she instructed, not destroying the icicle,
"urm….I don't know what I can do to prove it," Paige/Rhea said, getting frustrated,
"Paige, is that you?" Piper asked,
"yes, how'd you know?" Paige/Rhea replied,
"call it sisterly instinct, and you're acting very much like Paige, or should I say you're acting very much like you," Piper said,
"well we need to go and get Rhea and put us in our right bodies," Paige/Rhea stated, grabbing Piper's hand and shimmering them out.
They shimmered in next to Rhea/Paige,
"what have you done?" Paige/Rhea asked, looking around at the mess the Titan had caused in her body,
"exposed you, got you known for creating pain and destruction," Rhea/Paige smirked.
"I have an idea," Piper said, using her power to blast Rhea/Paige, throwing her backwards and practically killing her, releasing Rhea's soul,
"lets fix this," Paige said, pulling the scroll Rhea has used to originally swap their bodies from her belt, chanting the spell and exchanging their souls once again. When she was back in her own body Rhea shimmered out, while Paige's spirit hovered above her body,
"why aren't you going in?" Piper asked,
"because I think you've killed my body," she replied,
"Leo!" Piper called, the Elder orbed in and healed Paige, returning her soul to her body,
"the Elders want to see you about what happened," he said, taking hold of her hand and orbing them out, while Piper also grabbed Paige's hand and went along for the ride.
When they orbed into the Elder's realm, Paige stepped forward to face Zola and three other Elders,
"Paige, you have exposed magic to the city," Zola began,
"but that was Rhea," Piper interrupted, Leo gave her a small nudge, as if to tell her to be quiet,
"exactly, whether Rhea was controlling your body or not, your powers, your magic, was so easy to use for such evil acts, and for that we wonder if you should be a whitelighter," Zola continued,
"so what are you saying?" Paige asked,
"until further notice we are stripping you of your whitelighter magic," he replied, waving his hand. Orbs floated from Paige's chest and into the air,
"take them home, Leo," Sandra instructed, Leo nodded and orbed his wife and sister-in-law back to the manor.
To be continued…..
Next chapter- Paige struggles to get used to her powers without their whitelighter spin. Piper asks for Leo's help to get in touch with Persephone. Prue finds herself trapped in what is said to be a haunted house.
'House On Haunted Halliwell' should be up soon.
