A/N: Hey, this chapter has got a lot of Paige in, and quite a bit about Prue and no Phoebe but I might give Phoebe a chap of her own so we can have a bit more of Cole. If you want more Cole.
Anywayz thanks to everyone who reviews and Paige fan, I dunno how you do it but you keep figuring out what I'm gonna do next! And yeah Kyle is much better than Glen. So I'll shut up and just get on with the story.
A month later Christmas was nearing and each Halliwell sister had the problem of buying presents, with no money.
Paige was sat in the living room when the door bell went. She sighed and went to answer it. She was surprised to see it was Kyle.
"Hey." He greeted her with a smile.
"hey." Paige smiled nervously. She hadn't been left alone with Kyle since the night he told her about his parents being murdered.
"Umm, I was wondering if you'd like to hang out or something. Glen's gone to that football thing and said that I could come see you if I got bored. I hope you don't mind?" as he asked this he didn't look directly at her.
"No, that's fine. Come in." She stepped aside and let him in. She glanced outside at the cold street and shuddered.
She led Kyle through to the kitchen and Paige asked, "Do you want a cup of tea?"
Kyle chuckled slightly, "Tea? You sound like my Gran."
"Yeah, my Grams was big on tea too." Paige started making the tea then turned to Kyle. "So why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself."
As she handed Kyle the cup of tea Kyle thought for a second then began to talk. "Well, my name is Kyle Brody I am 15 in two weeks, I like horror films and comedy's. Also I have an ambition that when I grow up I wanna be a detective." He took a sip of his tea then looked up at Paige. "Tell me about yourself."
"Well, my name is Paige Halliwell, I am youngest of four. I too like horror movies and when I grow up I wanna win the lottery." Paige then shrugged, "At the moment I'm not very ambitious."
Kyle laughed and the two of them began to discuss movies for some strange reason. They talked for ages and before Paige knew it, it was five o'clock and she noticed Piper and Leo orb into the hallway.
Piper came into the kitchen and smiled slightly when she saw Kyle. "Hi there."
Kyle smiled at her, "Hi."
"Piper, Leo this is Kyle. Kyle this is my sister Piper and her boyfriend Leo." Paige introduced them and they all said hi.
"Well, I better get going. It was nice hanging out with you Paige." Kyle patted her arm slightly as he left and Paige felt butterflies in her stomach.
"Oooo. What happened to Glen then?" Piper asked playfully.
"What do you mean?" Paige raised an eyebrow at her sister.
"Well, the last time I checked you were worried that Glen thought you were a rubbish kisser and now your getting off with his cousin." Piper laughed and began to un pack the shopping bags.
"I wasn't getting off with Kyle!" But I want to…. Paige scolded herself for that. He was Glen's cousin.
"Sure you weren't." Piper then turned to Leo. "Can you go see if Prue or Phoebe's in. I haven't seen them all day."
"I think Phoebe's out with Cole and Prue's at Andy's." Leo informed Piper as he sat at the kitchen table.
"I thought Prue was upset that Andy didn't except her to be a witch?" Piper said through a yawn.
"She's in denial." Paige stated simply.
When Piper yawned again Paige frowned. "ok, ever since you got that job at quake you've not had enough rest. Your going to go to bed and let me take care of the shopping."
"Am I hearing right? Paige wants to help out around the house?" Piper asked with mock surprise.
"Ha, Ha!" Paige shooed Piper up the stairs then turned to Leo. "You wanna help me attempt to cook?"
As Andy stopped he car outside of Bucklands Prue jumped out. "Thanks for the lift Andy."
"That's ok." Andy was expecting her to give him a kiss but instead she just waved and ran into the building.
Prue hurried up to the office where she had left her school bag but was surprised to see that her boss, Mr. Riley was still there.
"Prue, what are you doing here so late?" He asked in a friendly manor.
Prue held up her school bag, "I left it here. Aren't you working a bit late too?"
Mr. Riley smiled and then pulled an old battered book. "Do you know what this is Prue?"
Prue walked over to it and studied it carefully, "I'm guessing that it's maybe from around the Egyptian period. Probably from the second dynasty."
She studied it more closely the opened it to the first page which was full of hieroglyphics, "Is it a book of the dead or something?"
Mr. Riley chuckled, "You know Prue as soon as you leave school I'm gonna get you a job. For an eighteen year old your amazing!"
He patted Prue on the back then said, "Archaeologists thought it was the book of the dead at first but I'm not sure. Mummies were usually buried with a book of the dead to help them in the afterlife but this one, this was found in a tomb. There was no mummy or treasure, just the book."
Prue looked down at the book as he spoke. She could feel it. She could feel power. It was incredible. "Your really gonna put this up for auction?"
Mr. Riley shook his head. "No, a friend of mine discovered it and asked me to find out about it."
He took the book off Prue and sat it in a glass container. "You better get home, I'll see you tomorrow."
Prue said goodbye and went outside where Andy was still sat in his car. He said something to her but Prue didn't hear him. There was something about that book. Something that wasn't good.
Back at the manor, Leo and Paige had successfully burned everything that Piper had brought for three days worth of dinner and were now sat watching T.V.
The door bell rang and yet again it was Kyle. "Hey, sorry to interrupt you again but you know that film you wanted to see. I found it in Glen's room."
"Oh wow thanks Kyle." Paige took the video off of him. "Do you wanna come inside and watch it with me?"
Kyle glanced inside to where Leo was obviously listening but trying hard not to make it look like he was. "Um, I think I'll pass but uh…. I was wondering if you'd like to come with me to the uh…winter ball."
Paige felt her heart flutter slightly but the she remembered her and Glen were going to go together. "well, me and Glen were going to go together but I suppose we could go in a kind of three some."
"cool!" Kyle smiled, "Well I better get back. I'll see you tomorrow!"
Paige waved to him then went inside and sat back down next to Leo.
"He seems nice." Leo said with a smirk.
Prue got home and went straight to bed. She had a really weird feeling about that book but wasn't sure what it was.
That night she was plagued by nightmares of this woman who kept chasing her. When ever she thought that she had lost this woman she would appear right in front of her.
Prue woke up in a cold sweat and looked around her room. It was pitch black and everything seemed normal. But then she saw her.
Standing in at the foot of the bed was the woman from her dream. She was dressed in fine Egyptian clothes and wore very heavy make-up.
"IT'S MINE!" The woman screamed angrily and the leapt onto Prue, her hands closing around Prue's throat.
All Prue could do was scream until she blacked out.
