Chapter 12

Morning Sunshine

Prue awoke the next morning with the sun shining through the window in her eyes. She noticed that Phoebe was still wrapped in her own embrace and Paige still clung to Piper. "How can someone hurt someone that looks that innocent?" Prue asked herself looking over at her youngest sister. "Piper time to wake up hunny," Prue said out loud shaking her. Piper groaned in response and then groggily opened her eyes. "Morning sunshine," said Prue a little too perky.

"Ugh you were always perky in the morning," said Piper looking down at her baby sister wrapped in her embrace. Then she turned to Prue and said seriously, "How can anyone hurt someone that looks this innocent?"

"I don't know Piper but we are going to make sure she will never be hurt like that again," said Prue firmly.

"I agree," said Piper nodding her head. "We should also wake our darling little sisters up right now to," said Piper.

"No way Phoebe was hell to get up in the morning when we were kids," said Prue with slight terror in her eyes while Piper smirked but Prue caught it. "You know it is not funny you never had to wake her up because it was my responsibility since I of course was the oldest," said Prue sarcastically.

"Yeah well I had my own problems at that age if you remember," said Piper getting a disgusted look on her face.

"Of course I remember," said Prue nodding her head knowingly, she had protected Piper on more then one occasion from the constant teasing and taunting from her fellow peers.

"Well if we are going to wake them up better now then later, we should wake Phoebe up first maybe she can help come up with an idea to get Paige to open up to us," said Piper logically.

"Good idea Pipe," said Prue as she started slightly to shake Phoebe awake. "Time to wake up little one," she said gently, Phoebe just groaned in response and pushed Prue's hand away. Prue shook Phoebe a little harder, "Come on Pheebs time to get up."

"Go away," Phoebe responded grouchily.

"Well she is still grouchy in the morning," replied Prue sarcastically while Piper just laughed.

"Yep you got that right," said Piper in between her laughs.

"Okay okay I am up already," said Phoebe. "Now what do you want?" she asked glaring at her older sisters.

"Good morning to you to sunshine," said Prue with a smile on her face.

"Ha ha Prue," said Phoebe sticking out her tongue at eldest sister.

"So what do you suggest we do?" asked Piper on a more serious note.

"Well I think you should start by waking her up the do what we said last night just have a sisters' day and just talk and hang out," said Phoebe.

"Sounds good to me," said Prue with Phoebe nodding her head in the backround.

"Baby time to get up," said Piper shaking Paige lightly. Paige just groaned in response and pushed Piper's hand away but Piper was persistent.

"Okay okay I am up just stop shaking me already," said Paige sleepily. When she realized she was laying half on top of Piper she quickly stood up and backed away from the other three sisters. The three sisters didn't looked shocked knowing Paige's personality, independence, defiant, and of course stubborn. Piper noticed that Paige came off stronger then she really was. She could tell by her eyes she was scared and lost.

"Paige we are going to have a sisters' day today and just talk and hangout, that okay with you?" asked Prue firmly.

"How about not and say we did," said Paige nodding her head in stubborness.

Phoebe looked down at her hands and responded, "Paige we know."

"No they can't know," thought Paige to herself. "Know what?" asked Paige pretending not to know what they were talking about.

"We know you were abused heavily when you were younger," said Piper sadly.

"No I wasn't, I have no clue what the hell you are talking about," said Paige starting to panic.

"Paige I had a premonition of you being whipped which I am assuming you have been dreaming about lately, am I right?" asked Phoebe.

"Yea you are right," replied Paige in defeat. There was no way she was going to win this one, with just her against three older sisters who were just as stubborn as her if not more.

"We need to talk," said Piper and Paige eventually nodded her head in agreement.
