"Leo, stop them!" Piper cried. Leo tried to orb up to where the elders were but he couldn't.
"They're stopping me from coming!" He cried in frustration.
"They cannot do this to us!" Phoebe cried, outraged at the stupidity of the elders.
"Don't they realize if the kill Paige, they kill the power of three." Piper cried.
Leo hugged the sister's close together.
"The elders aren't thinking right now. All they know is Paige killed some of our kind and they have no idea she was possessed. Let's try to scry for her and maybe through that loophole, I can orb you guys up there." Leo said.
When Paige opened her eyes, she was standing in the clouds, all the elders staring and whispering at her.
"I couldn't help it! I was evil." Paige pleaded as the elders snapped on magic handcuffs so that she couldn't orb. They threw her into a cell roughly and she was locked up. She sat there for a few hours before an elder approached.
"Hi Paige." He grinned and lifted his hood off. Paige was surprised to see Cole Turner underneath it.
"Oh, it will do you no good crying out, because to the rest of them, I look like a normal elder." Cole smiled. Paige banged against the bars at him.
"Why can't you just leave us alone?" She growled. Making sure no one was looking, Cole released an energy ball and it hit Paige in the stomach, sending her flying against the back of her cell. An elder rushed over to see what the commotion was about.
"She tried to attack me." Cole explained as Paige got up to her feet. Paige looked at Cole in disbelief.
"No I didn't! He attacked me." Paige tried to explain but the other elder just shook his head. He opened the cage and grabbed her roughly by the arm.
"We'll see just how innocent you are." He said. He led Paige over to a mock courtroom and sat her down. The jury was made up of ten elders and the judge was also an elder.
"Hey, this isn't fair! I should have some one defending me." Paige protested. Cole glared at her. He pulled a remote out and pushed it. Suddenly her handcuffs zapped her with electricity and she cried out in pain, falling off her chair. Cole pressed down on it harder, causing black dots to dance in front of her eyes. An elder grabbed the remote from his hands.
"What are you doing! You could have killed her." He said angrily. Cole straightened his robe.
"I'm sorry, but she can't go unpunished." Paige groaned and stood up weakly. Cole shoved her down onto her seat, straitening his robes.
"Today, we saw Paige Matthews do unspeakable evil and we cannot allow this to go unpunished!" Cole pacing back and forth.
"I say that we don't kill her right away, but make her go through the same pain that those poor white lighters and witches went through!" He roared and the elders cheered.
"You can't do this to me! You're elders; you'd be breaking your rules!" Paige cried out. An elder walked up to her.
"And like you and your family haven't broken any of our rules?" He said. Three elders walked over and grabbed Paige by the arm.
"Let me go! You can't do this!" Paige struggled in vain, but she was weak from being zapped. They tied her up against a wall, pinning her hands and feet to it.
"Leo! Leo!" Paige called out frantically. Cole walked up to her, getting right in her face.
"Leo can't come to the rescue. He and your sister's have been blocked from orbing up here." Cole sneered. He looked at the judge who nodded. Cole orbed away and came back a few minutes later with a dark lighter. The dark lighter looked around confused, and then drew his crossbow to shoot the elders.
"Do it and your dead in a second." Cole hissed. He pointed to Paige.
"Shoot her." The dark lighter grinned and looked around.
"So, the elders have gone evil, have they? Killing a charmed one?" He said.
"She deserves it!" Shouted an elder and the rest agreed. The dark lighter shrugged his shoulders.
"By doing this, you are stooping to my level but . . ." He aimed and fired. Paige twisted, trying to avoid getting hit, but it went through her stomach, drawing blood. She gasped in pain and struggled to get loose, but the ropes held tight.
"I-I don't think we should have done this." An elder said shakily at the sight of Paige bleeding. Cole turned to him.
"It's either this, or she'd kill every single one of you! But heal her if you must for now." Paige's head dropped as an Elder walked over. He placed his hands over her stomach and soon the wound was gone. Paige let out a sigh of relief as the pain went away. Cole frowned. This wasn't going the way he had planned.
"We cannot go easy on her! This is what she did to other white lighters. She showed no mercy! Just like we should show no mercy on this traitor!" Cole shouted. He got another demon up there. He told the demon what to do and the demon nodded. Paige's eyes went wide as the demon walked over to her.
"Get lost!" She cried and tried to kick him. The demon backhanded her across the face hard, leaving a bruise mark.
"What, that's the worst you can do?" Paige said sarcastically, instantly regretting what she said. The demon pulled out a hot knife and cut her on the cheek. Paige let out a cry as the heated knife sent a searing pain on her face as blood dripped down her face. The demon hit her in the stomach, hard and Paige let out a cry as all the air was knocked out of her.
"Leo! Piper, Phoebe!" She cried. The demon drew the heatedknife back and stabbed her in the stomach. She let out a bloodcurdling scream as the pain was unbearable. Her body actually went into spasms for a minute, and everything went black for a second, but she blinked and everything came into focus. The pain was mostly from the heated knife and she struggled against the ropes, tears streaming down her face. She had never been in this much pain in her life. She took a breath in and looked down at her stomach, still feeling so much pain. He had stabbed her, he had actually stabbed her. She was going to die in front of all the elders.
"That is enough!" She heard an elder call out. Feeling dizzy from loss of blood, she looked at Cole's grinning face and then blacked out.
