I'm Sorry

Quillron approached the two youngsters, eyeing the young man on the floor cautiously.

"What's wrong? What was all the commotion about? I hope you haven't been feeding her another one of your stories Kyle?" The demon said as he walked up to Paige.

Paige and Kyle looked at each other nervously.

It was a well known fact that Quillron despised Kyle and wanted rid of him but Paige wouldn't allow it.

"No everything's fine." Paige said, her voice still shaken from witnessing herself conjuring blue orbs.

Kyle let out a breath he didn't even realise he was holding in and stood up from the rubble covering him.

"Now, now Kyle, you aught to be more careful, we wouldn't want you to hurt yourself now would we? " Quillron said as he pushed past Kyle to join the other demons, who could be heard yelling in the next room.

Paige returned to staring at her hand, her face a mixture of confusion and disbelief.

"How is this possible? I can't do good magic."

"Yes you can, all you had to do is remember how. This is fantastic! You're starting to remember. Okay now tell me what where you thinking about when you hurtled me across the room, which might I add, 'ouch!'." Kyle said smiling.

Paige let out a little laugh then tried to remember what had gone through her mind when she had performed the act of good magic.

"I, I can't remember. I didn't even know I was doing it. It just happened." Paige said as she walked into her quarters in the large underworld cavern.

"It's okay; I'm sure it's bound to take a while." Kyle said, following Paige into her room.

Paige lay down on the bed and looked up at Kyle thoughtfully.

"What?" Kyle asked as he sat on the edge of the bed.

"I'm just thinking, that if you're telling the truth then, the whole thing about my sisters might as well be true too. Then why is something telling me not to believe it. I mean I know it's true but every time I think about them, I feel hate, not love." Paige said as her eyes started to fill with tears.

"It's him Paige. I don't know how, but you have to fight it. I'll be here with you whenever you need me." Kyle said sincerely.

Paige looked into Kyle's loving eyes.

"Where would I be without you?" She whispered.

"Probably trying to take over the world." Kyle smirked.

Back at the Halliwell Manor, the three sisters were busy scurrying around the attic making final arrangements to their plan.

"Okay so, Piper you get the cage ready, Phoebe, you done with the spell?" Prue asked her two younger sisters.

"Yeah, it's a bit naff but it'll work." Phoebe said, determination written all over her face.

This was it, after 13 years, they would finally be a family again. It was a simple plan, summon Paige, convince her she's not evil and live happily ever after. Yeah, it was farfetched, but it was worth a shot.

"Okay positions everybody!" Piper yelled as she finished laying the crystals.

The three women gathered in front of the crystals and began to chant in unison.

"In this night
And in this hour
We call upon the ancient power.
Bring us back our baby sister
Bring her back 'cause we have missed her."

The three sister's waited for a moment but nothing happened. No swirl of white lights. No Paige. Nothing.

"I dont understand, why didn't it work?" Phoebe asked stepping forward.

"Was it the spell?" Piper asked looking at the piece of paper.

"No, somethings blocking our call." Prue said, "I can feel it."

"What do you think it is?" Piper asked, confused.

"I'm not sure, but it sure as hell is powerful." Prue replied.

While this conversation was taking place, Phoebe walked over to the dusty couch which embedded itself between two large boxes, and sat down hugging her legs.

Piper noticed Phoebe's numb facial exspression. The same exspression Phoebe bore when they learned of their youngest sister's supposed death.

"Dont worry Phoebs, we'll get her back." Piper reassured her little sister as she gave her a loving hug.

"What do we do now?" Phoebe snifed, looking up at her oldest sister who was pasing the attic running a nervous hand through her hair.

Prue stopped pasing to look at her two younger sisters looking up at her with hope in their eyes. She couldn't let them down. Not again. Not ever.

"Well, firstly, I think we coould all be doing with some rest, especially you Piper, I heard you getting up early this morning." Prue said diverting her gaze to give Piper a motherly look.

Piper looked down at the floor, not wanting to make eye contact with Prue.

"But what about Paige? We can't just leave her out there." Phoebe cried.

"Phoebe, you need rest, God knows we've had a hell of a day." Prue said ghiving her the same look she had given Piper just moments before with a softer touch.

Phoebe was tired, too tired infact that she didn't have the strength to object.

"Yes mom" Phoebe said, with all the humour she could muster, which right now wasnt a lot.

Prue smiled at Phoebe's effort to lighten the mood.

"Go on squirt, I'll see you in the morning 'kay?" Prue said sweetly as she kissed her younger sister on the forehead.

"G'night Piper" Phoebe said sleepily as she kissed her sister on the cheek.

"Sleep well sweetie" Piper replied softly as she watched her younger sister descend the stairs of the attic.

"So, you gonna go to bed and toss and turn all night or are you gonna tell me why you have'nt been sleeping?" Prue asked as she took the seat beside Piper where Phoebe had been previously sat.

Piper gave Prue an 'I know you are gonna get it outta me anyway look'.

"Come on, spill it" Prue said giving Piper an encouraging smile.

"It's just, it's so hard going to sleep and thinking that the next day will be even harder. These past years, we've all changed, and sometimes I lay awake and think about how close we all were." Piper said, starting to sob lightly.

"Oh sweetie, I had no idea." Prue said, pulling her sister in close to her chest.

"I was so wrapped up in my own sorrow I didn't even notice my little sister was hurting." Prue said letting the tears run freely down her cheeks.

"Oh Prue, none of this is your fault, we all dealt with our sorrow in different ways." Piper told Prue.

Prue smiled at her little sister and tighted her grip on her. It had been too long since she had held any of her sister's like this.

"Hey, at least when you sleep tonight you can think about how we're all gonna be together again, closer than ever. We can watch movies, have sleepovers and just hangout, like old times." Prue said smiling to herself.

And with that thought, both sisters drifted off to the most peaceful night's sleep they'd had in years.
