After calming down a little I took a deep breathe and I said "The man he told me to come here. I'm sorry." Paige looked at me in shock but she pushed my dark brown hair back behind my ear and said "What man hunny?"
I looked over at her sister? And said "He started coming to me just before my… just before it happened and then the others started following but he was different. He was my support when they…. He helped me. But when I came here he disappeared (whispering) but they didn't.. (I turned to look Paige in her eyes and said softly so they wouldn't hear) why won't they go away Paige?"
Paige turned to look at her sister? And back at me and said "There isn't anyone here." I swallowed and said "They don't like it when they get ignored. They get mean." Paige looked at me with interest and then I realized what she thought and I extracted myself from her embrace and got up "I'm not crazy, they are there". Paige started patronising me and said "Of course they are hunny." I started to get angry and said "You don't believe me, they are standing right there, there are 10 of them, they follow me everywhere and at night they do this (I lifted my shirt and showed her the nail scratches) this is proof" Paige's eyes went big and she said " Why are you hurting yourself Sera?" I looked at her incredulously and said "What I am not, why don't you believe me." She didn't answer me and I said "You've never helped me, every single person you send me to dies, you aren't even helping me are you (the followers started chanting "Kill her like you killed us" "She deserves to die" "She is a witch, burn her".) (I turn to face them) SHUT UP I can't think with all the noise!" At my outburst and pot plant flies towards the followers and makes them disappear for a minute and they stop and point to the sisters. I gasp and turn to face them red in the face.
They are both staring at me with shock and Paige's sister is holding her baby tightly. I back up and say "Sorry" and I run out of the room before ether have time to say anything. I get half way down the road when Paige appears in front of me out of nowhere but I can't take it and I run in the opposite direction but Paige's remark stops me "I believe you" I stop and turn around and say "Why?" Paige walks over to me slowly and says "I know what it is like to be different." With that she says the word necklace and I watch in shock as blue light surrounds my neck and my necklace appears in her hands.
We both don't say anything as she takes me back inside her house and sits me on the couch.
She introduces me to her sister Piper and they explain to me that they are witches and I watch as Piper freezes things in the air and they tell me that I too am a witch because only good witches don't freeze. The funny thing is that during this explanation, the followers try to make me believe they are evil and must be destroyed but how can I believe people that are dead.
Paige's other sister Phoebe comes home about an hour after they told me about their status and she looks at me strangely and she seems to be staring at my followers. She turned to Paige and said "What's with the crowd?" My eyes go wide and I notice so do some of the followers and Paige says slowly "You can see them?" Phoebe looks at her oddly and says "Well yeah can't you and why do they have blood on their clothes?"
I say slowly "They died awhile ago and they follow me where ever I go". Phoebe nods and said "Well ok, who are you?" I look at her strangely, she accepted that without any questions, I shrug and say "sera". She nods again and said "Innocent, we getting rid of the dead people then?" They nod and I watch as Piper and Phoebe head up the stairs and Paige sits next to me and said " We are going to go look up the demon that is trying to hurt you alright, we won't be long, will you be ok?" I nod and say "I'll just look around at your pics and stuff ok?" She nods and gets up and heads to the stairs but stops and says " If you get bored just come up to the attic but knock before you enter k?" I nod and watch as she goes. The followers seem to know what is happening because they are getting restless and starting to try to get my attention but I ignore them as I get up and look around the room and the photos. It is strange but it feels familiar kind of like a dream I had once. Some of the photographs looks like people I might have known when I was younger.
The shock comes when I come to a photograph of a teenage girl who looks a lot like me standing next to wait for it the man. I clutch the frame tightly as I study it, there are definite similarities between us. The hair, my noise, my eyes are different and I am short for my age but we look a like. But the man why is he in this photo, does that mean he is connected to them in some way. I walk up the stairs with the frame and come to the attic door, I know my face is white as a sheet. I knock on the door and Paige opens the door. She asks if I am alright but I give her the frame and say "Who are they?" The followers are yelling no and don't and the answer is not for you to know and lal this other stuff but I block them out. Paige looks at the photo and says "That is Prue, our sister who died and her boyfriend at the time Andy. Why?" I say "That is the man that used to follow me and pointed for me to come here and she, she looks like me!"
When I say this the followers disappear and my eyes go wide with disbelief and Phoebe says "The dead people disappeared!"
