A little earlier . . .
Piper walked paced around her husband as Leo concentrated on locating Paige. She then got out a map and started scrying for Paige. Suddenly the crystal dropped onto the map. "I've got her location!" Piper said grimly. She looked up at Leo anxiously. Meanwhile, Phoebe was standing in the place where Paige had been taken. She had been right beside Paige and just let her get taken. She stood there numbly, not catching what Piper had said. She prayed that Leo would find their sister alive. Leo let out a gasp and her and Piper jumped. "Leo, what is it? What's wrong?" Phoebe said. He looked at Piper, than at Phoebe. "P-Paige is dead." He said hoarsly. Piper stopped pacing and looked at Leo. "WHAT?" She yelled. "Piper honey . . ." Leo said calmly. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S DEAD?" Piper yelled. "She can't be dead! She just got here, she-she . . ." Piper let out a sob and buried her head in Leo's chest. "Not again Leo. I just got over Prue." Piper sobbed. Phoebe was crying silently, tears streaming down her face. "Who did this?" She growled at Leo. "They will pay." Phoebe walked over to the map. "Leo, take us there now." Leo obliged to them and the three of them orbed out of the room. They found themselves in an abandoned warehouse and there was a dark lighter in front of them. "Piper, blow him up! He's the one who took Paige!" Phoebe cried, her eyes searching for her younger sister. Piper waved her hands at the man. Nothing happened. The man grinned at her. "Foolish witches! It will take the power of three to defeat me! And now that your sister is gone, looks like you can't get rid of me." "What did you do to Paige!" Piper screamed at him. He just grinned. Leo suddenly bent down in pain. "Leo? What is it?" Piper asked worriedly. "I just felt one of my charges die." He said in shock. Just then a girl shimmered in. At first, Phoebe thought she was really pretty for a dark lighter. Then she looked closer at her. "No." Phoebe said in disbelief. The girl turned around to them. "Hey sis's!" The figure said cheerfully. "Paige!" Piper and Phoebe said in disbelief. Paige grinned at them. "The one and only." She spun around. "How do you like my new look? It's all thanks to Derek." She nodded at the dark lighter. "I decided that red wasn't really my color." She touched her dark black hair and then turned to Leo. "By the way, you haven't been taking good care of your charges. I've already killed about half of them." Leo stood flabbergast and then shook with rage. "Paige, listen to me. You are good; you're a white lighter not a dark lighter." Paige shook her head in disgust and anger. "You just don't get it. All of you don't. I am dead." Paige said slowly pronouncing the last three words. Piper's eyes went wide and then she broke down crying. She never really cried a lot, only when she lost a loved one. "That's right and it's all your guys' fault!" Paige screamed. She aimed her crossbow at Leo, tears running down her face. "You guys didn't care for me as much as you did Prue. Piper, you never really accepted me into the family and neither did Phoebe. You . . . you let me die." Paige said hoarsely. Phoebe was stunned as she wept for her sister. Surely Paige didn't think this? "Paige, none of this is true! He's been feeding you lies." Phoebe said. Paige spun to face Phoebe, the tears gone, her face hard and cold. "Well it doesn't matter anymore. I'm dead so get used to it. I'm just one more sister for you to bury!" Paige yelled. Piper's head snapped up. "Paige, we love you. W-we tried to save you but he took you away!" She said, nodding at Derek. Paige spun on Derek. "Is this true?" She yelled. He looked at bit surprised for a bit and then collected himself. "Yes, but the white lighter couldn't have healed you. You would have died anyways." He said coldly. Paige's eyes went wide and then she made a fireball with her hand. "Paige . . ." Leo warned, his eyes wet with tears. She ignored Leo and hurled the fireball at Derek. He screamed in agony, his eyes wide with fear. It took a good five minutes before he finally died. Paige turned her attention back to her old family. "I'm sorry guys, but it's too late. Get out of my way." Paige said angrily. "I will kill you if you don't." She said in a threatening voice. Piper walked up to Paige slowly. "Paige, it's never too late. This happened to Phoebe too, and she came back." Piper said calmly. Paige looked at Phoebe. "Yeah, but she never died, did she?" Paige said coldly. "Get out of my way Piper." She said threateningly. "Or what?" Piper said defiantly. "Crossbow!" Paige shouted and it shimmered into her hand. "You-you still have your powers?" Leo said in disbelief. "You're evil! You shouldn't . . ." Paige shot an arrow and . . .
