Earlier on a bit . . .
The demon had been gone for a while and Piper, Phoebe and Leo were watching the Paige camera follow her around and then it followed her to the house. They saw Paige look around suspiciously and then walked towards the stairs. "Paige, look out!" Phoebe shouted. "Phoebe, what we say in here can't be heard there." Leo said grimly. They watched the demon sneak up behind her. "No!" Piper shouted as she watched her sister get blasted into the living room. "Good rhyme so far . . . !" Phoebe let out an anguished sob as she saw the dark lighter holding a crossbow. "Wait a minute. How did he do that?" Piper spun around to Leo. His eyes were wide. "This guy is really powerful. There was said to be none left!" He cursed under his breath. He let out a cry. "What is it?" Piper asked. Phoebe pointed to the screen, her arm trembling. "Piper, he just shot Paige." She said faintly. They heard her call out for them and Leo shook the cage this time, rage filling him. "How could he?" Leo said angrily. "He can't kill her without us out of the way. Why didn't the elders warn me!" He slammed his fist against the cage. "Phoebe, Piper, Leo." Paige's voice rang out weakly. "No!" Piper and Phoebe sobbed. "Paige, we want to come!" Piper said quietly, tears streaming down her face. They watched as she kicked him down and that got a weak smiled out of Phoebe. "That a girl." She said softly. Her face quickly turned to horror as Paige was hurled against the door, falling limply. Then the demon/ dark lighter hurled an energy ball at her. Piper turned away from the screen, her vision blurred as Paige called out to them one last time before blacking out. Phoebe let out a cry of outrage. The demon reappeared in the cave. "Well, now that she's out of the way." He smirked at the pain in their faces. "What's the matter? Sad that your new sister is dead?" Piper's eyes widened in shock and then teared up but the demon wasn't done. "Did you fail to save your sister? Again?" He emphasized. Piper staggered from that blow. She had been the one that blamed herself for Prue's death. "Don't listen to him sweetie." Leo muttered under his breath. Then all three of them slammed up against the cage and to their surprise, it gave away. "What!" He shouted in surprise. "No!" He shouted and shimmered away. "Leo, orb us home, now!" Piper cried and Leo closed his eyes. He orbed them into the kitchen and they all rushed over to the limp and battered body of Paige. Her eyes were shut, her chest not moving. "Leo, heal her now!" Phoebe sobbed. Leo stuck his hand over Paige. His hand glowed for a second and it healed her wound from the arrow. He tried to heal the other wounds but for some weird reason, he couldn't. Paige's eyes flew open weakly. "Guys." She smiled at them. Piper and Phoebe smiled through their tears. "We're here honey. We had been trapped in a cage." Leo explained as he helped Paige sit up. She winced and held her stomach. "I'm sorry Paige, but that's the best I can do." Leo said apologetically. Paige gave her brother-in-law a smile. "That's okay, at least I'm alive." She turned to Piper and Phoebe. "So you guys didn't just leave me?" She said softly. Tears of sorrow welled up in Piper's eyes and she gave Paige a hug, who winced in pain but smiled still. "Of course we care Paige." Piper pulled away. "As soon as we saw you in pain we wanted to rush over here and kick that demon's butt." Paige smiled, but then looked puzzled. "He wasn't just a demon though; he was also a dark lighter." Leo nodded grimly. "I think he's the only one left of his kind." Paige let out a tired sigh. "Let's get you to bed." Phoebe said gently. Paige nodded her head and let Leo carry her up the stairs. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell fast asleep, happy to be with her sister's and Leo.
