The Demon Of Chance
Paige woke up in an unfamiliar room, " this wasnt where I fell asleep", she thought out loud. Her tired eyes searched the room, the walls were dark and the room was increadibly dirty. She was beggining to get scared. Mabye she had made a mistake about running away. She wondered what her sisters were doing at that very moment. She missed them. They had never been separated from each other for more than two days.
"Ah, finally awake I see." Came a voice from the dark shadows created by the dim lighting of the room.
Paige jumped upon hearing the voice. She was too afraid to answer the deep voice. She turned in the direction the voice came, searching for the owner. A tall figure came out from the darkness.
"Paige Halliwell, the youngest charmed one. Oh What a prize I have here." snickered the demon.
"Who are you?",asked the five year old finding her courage.
"I, my dear child, am The Demon Of Chance." He said, taking a bow.
"Why am I here?" Paige asked the demon.
The demon approached Paige and seated himself infront of the terrified little girl.
"I have been watching you little one, I know of your troubles and worries. And I think I may be the one to help you." the demon answered, looking Paige dead in the eye.
Paige looked at the demon with a look of sadness in her eyes,
"No you cant, no-one can, my sisters said not even magic can help me." Said the little girl looking at the dirt ridden floor.
"They lied to you Paige." The demon said matter of factly.
Paige looked up at the demon in disbelief.
"What?" she asked, tears escaping her eyes.
"Thats right. You wanna know how I know this? Because I know how to heal your disease. I can give you a second chance."He said louring the small girl in with every word.
Paige sat shaking her head, not wanting to believe that her sisters lied to her.
"But they were upset. They were worried about me" she choked.
"No Paige, they were worried that they would never get rid of you.I bet they're happy that you've left them"
"NO!" Paige cried.
"Oh what's the matter Paige? Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself." The demon said waving his arm, causing an image of Prue, Piper and Phoebe laughing and having fun to appear.
Paige stared in disbelief at the image in front of her. Didn't her sisters miss her a little? The demon was right, they didnt care.
While Paige was still looking at the image of her sisters, the demon was behind Paige, his arms open reciting an incantation.
"From what this young girls eyes do see
let her learn to trust in me
The thoughts of sisters fade away
let her do as I shall say."
Paige turned around to face the Demon, her usually bright blue eyes now a colourless shade of black.
"What did you do to me?" she asked, her voice a dull tone.
"I helped you, the evil that entered your body has pushed out your illness. Dont you feel the power coursing through your body Paige, you can take revenge on your sisters, make them suffer like you have." The demon taunted the small girl.
Paige sat motionless for a few minutes. She stared back at the screen where her sisters' smiles burned into her heart like fire, before dissapearing in a swirl of black orbs.
Phoebe sat on the attic couch, clutching a small teddy bear that she had given to Paige when she was born. Prue had given it to Piper when she was born and Piper had given it to Phoebe, each giving with it the promise of protection. No matter what, Halliwell sisters looked out for one another.
' I failed you Paige. I didnt look after you properly. I'm sorry.' Phoebe whispered to empty attic.
Just as Phoebe was about to get up from the couch, a haze of black orbs appeared in front of her, taking the form of her baby sister.
Phoebe was no fool, she knew what the black orbs meant. This wasnt her warm, bubbly baby sister anymore.
"Paige?" Phoebe asked the small form cautiously.
The young girl just stared at Phoebe wordlessly.
"Paigey baby, what happened?" asked Phoebe moving slowly towards her little sister.
Paige stared passed Phoebe as if she were in a trance.
"Where are the others?" The younger girl asked in a monotone voice.
Phoebe's heart ached to hear the emotionless tone in her baby sister's voice.
"They went to the underworld, to look for you." Phoebe explained.
"Stop lying to me Phoebe!" Paige threatened.
Phoebe looked into her sister's eyes. They were unrecognisable.
"Im not lying Paige. I would never lie to you sweetie."
"You're doing it now! You told me magic couldnt save me. You lied! The demon fixed me!"
"Paige calm down, what are you talking about? What demon?" Phoebe asked trying to make sense of what Paige had said.
"Ive said too much, he wants me to hurt you." Paige said, flames flashing in her eyes. She suddenly formed an energyball in her hand, ready to strike.
"Oh no, Paige listen to me, its me Phoebes, I love you!" Phoebe cried, tears cascading down her face.
Paige stopped advancing on Phoebe as images of herself and Phoebe chasing one another and hugging, entered her thoughts. She dispersed the energyball and fell to her knees.
Phoebe ran to her sister's side and tried to comfort her. Paige looked into her sister's teary eyes. She could feel him pulling her back, summoning her back to the underworld.
"Phoebe" Paige sobbed as she dissapeared in more black orbs.
Phoebe let out a cry as she tried desperately to hold onto her baby sister but to no avail. Phoebe collapsed in a heep in the middle of the attic. The sadness and fear in her little sister's voice haunted her as she called out her name.
