The Dreams of Paige Matthews

How Are We Going to Win This Battle?

In Dreamland:

"It's Jeremy isn't it?" Paige asked Piper as they ran up to the attic.

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"That's not important. What's important is that we save our own skins." Paige knew that this was no ordinary dream. All of her senses were in this reality. If she died in this dream, she would not wake up.

"What are we going to do?" asked Phoebe.

"What do you mean what are we going to do? We are going to vanquish Piper's warlock boyfriend," Paige told her.

"Vanquish him! Are you out of your mind Paige?" Prue was hysterical. "How do we do that?"

"We're witches. We'll use a spell. We don't have much time. He'll be here soon." Paige grabbed the Book of Shadows and fumbled through it frantically.

"Hey go back a page." Prue said.

Paige went back to reveal a spell to vanquish an evil lover using the thorn of a rose to curse them. "Oh trust me, that won't work." She began flipping pages again.

"Wait, why won't it work?" Piper asked.

"It just won't okay."

"How do you know?"

"I have a sixth sense about these things."

"Paige," Prue said. "We've been witches for barely twenty-four hours. How could you possibly have a sixth sense about something you know nothing about?"

Still flipping through pages, Paige said the first thing she could think of to drop the subject. "I think I get it from my father."

"So our father is a witch too?" Phoebe was confused.

"No, and anyway, I said 'my father.' You know I have a different father than you three."

Then something happened that Paige was not prepared for. All three of her sisters said simultaneously, "You have a different father?"

Paige was frustrated. She still couldn't find a spell to vanquish Jeremy and she knew the one the sisters originally used would not work with the four of them. Now on top of it all, her sisters in this reality didn't know she had a different father. "Listen, we can talk about this later, right now we have to stop Jeremy from killing us."

Just then, they heard something crash downstairs. Jeremy had arrived and they still didn't have a spell.

"He's here, Paige. What are we going to do? We don't have a spell." Piper, having already dealt with Jeremy, knew how dangerous he was.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"You're the one with the sixth sense," Phoebe said.

Paige was scared. What if she never woke up from this? No. She couldn't think like that. She got herself into this. She was going to get herself out. "We'll just have to wing it," she told them.

"Wing it? Are you nuts?" Piper was frantic.

Paige took but a moment to ponder this and then said to them, "Maybe, but it's all we've got. We are the Charmed ones. We have to trust that the Power of four will guide our every move. We are the most powerful witches of all time. Believe it. Trust it. Feel it. When Jeremy comes in, Piper, you need to freeze him. You'll know how. Then we must join hands and feel the magic."
