The demon was at a loss of words. He had lost her scent and had picked up a stronger one, the scene of a charmed one. This Charmed one must be weakened by some human force causing her stress. It's the charmed ones though, no one had never defeated them before. No he musn't think like that, he must do as the SOURCE had told him to do. Kill the witch and any in his way. If need be done it shall be done. The demon followed the scent.
The walk to the attic was a quiet one. It was so quiet that eachother's faint breaths could be heard. Phoebe wanted to say something, something along the lines of comfort but no such words came out. The finally reached the attic and Paige bursted in and went directly for the Book of Shadows. She began to flip through the pages scanning this demon not noticing Phoebe's feeble attempts for a conversation. Soon something pushed Phoebe to ask this one direct question. "Paige is something bothering you?". Suddenly not knowing what she just said Phoebe awaited an answer. Paige looked up from the book. She should say something? Should she unveil her stained soul and her shattered heart. She made it so far without doing so, why does she have to? "No Phoebe, Im fine." said Paige blankly. Phoebe sighed out of frustration. "Don't lie Paige...I heard your cries and the explosion." said Phoebe hoping it would turn things around. Paige stopped flipping the book and picked it up and slammed it to the ground. "THATS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS FAMILY! NOTHING CAN BE KEPT A SECRET! I WANNA BE FREE PHOEBE, AWAY FROM THE DEMONS!" screamed Paige. Her eyes glassed over and without her permission tears rolled down her cheeks making every drop hit the floor with a thud. "Paige we all want a magic free life-". "NO PHOEBE, NOT THOSE DEMONS...my own." Those last words were said silently. They didn't know her, they didn't know the life she lived, they knew nothing of the Paige Matthews behind closed doors. Phoebe couldn't help but breakdown. "Paige, talk to me sweetie, Im here for you. just tell me what you have in your heart." begged Phoebe. Paige shook her head no. "Don't you get it...I lost my heart a long time ago..." said Paige softly.
"Piper, I can't tell you! She has to tell you!" said Leo getting tired of the run arounds. "LEO, shes not talking to us, Leo you hafta help us. We need her." told Piper as her eyes watered. "Then you tell her that.." said Leo. Soon he was acommpanied by a swirl of blue orbs and dissappeared. Suddenly Piper heard a loud commotion come from upstairs which sounded much like Paige yelling. She walked to the living and noticed the confused looks on Billie and Diane. "whats going on?" asked Billie. Piper told her to stay as she ran up the stairs. This was the breakthorugh she was hoping for. the one breakthrough that will land her baby sister in her arms. She finally reached the attic and swung open the door right after Paige's last sentence. "ago.." was the only thing she heard. Piper walked deeper into the room and looked at her sister. Her eyes watered even more and the rain threatened to fall. "Paige," Piper began. "I need you, you need us wether you like it or not-". "NO I DON'T NEED YOU!" Paige soon headed for the door and Piper flicked her hands and the attic door exploded. Paige stopped dead in her tracks. "DAMN IT PAIGE! WE LOVE YOU SO GOD DAMN MUCH AND YOU SHIT ON US!" yelled Piper and the dams gave away and she was crying so hard. She walked over to Paige's postion and got on her knees. She took Paige's hands. "Paige, I know we haven't gotten along in the past, but let it stay there. This thing that haunts you...let me take it away. I love you so much Paige, don't give up on me.I pray to God everyday thanking him for sending you home. Please Paige, don't let me lose another s-si-sis-sister." Piper said crying harder and Phoebe stood there in awe. Here we saw Piper just being real and raw. Phoebe was crying softly and walked over to her baby sister and hugged her. Piper got up from the floor and hugged her sister too. Envoloped in a group hug Paige felt that emtion. That rush the feeling of love and she couldn't help but make this mueling sound from her tears. "I-I- don't know where to begin..." stammered Paige. "From the begining Paige." answered Phoebe. "Okay..."
