The drive home was silent, except for Paige's sobs from the passenger seat. Prue knew that the girl needed some time to herself. After having experienced the loss of her own mother she remembered that she had hated when people had tried to tell her everything would be alright or things to that extent.
Pulling up at the manor Prue turned off the car and turned to look at Paige.
Paige had stopped crying, and she had an unemotional, blank look on her face.
"Come on honey, lets go inside and I'll make you some tea ok," Prue said. Paige didn't reply and nodded her head numbly.
Prue got out of the car and started up the steps to the front door. She was nearly there before she noticed that Paige hadn't followed her. She looked through the windscreen and noticed that Paige was hunched over, her entire body shaking as she once again cried.
Prue's heart broke for the young girl as she raced back to the car. As much as the girl probably didn't want to hear it right now, Prue knew exactly how she felt. Opening the door to Paige's side of the car, Prue took the girl in her arms and rubbed her back comfortingly.
"Let it all out sweetie," she said as Paige cried on her shoulder.
When her sobs had subsided somewhat, Prue helped her out of the car and supported her as the walked up to the door of the manor. Once inside Prue set Paige on the couch and told her that she would be right back with some tea.
Walking into the kitchen Prue was surprised to see Piper working on her computer at the kitchen table.
"What are you doing here?" both said at the same time.
"You first," Piper said wondering what had happened to Prue's job interview.
Prue explained to Piper about the accident she had witnessed and how she had seen Paige orb out of the car.
"And now she's in our living room," Piper said from her place in front of the kettle. She had been making the tea while Prue spoke.
"Yes, I don't know what it is Piper, but I feel like I know this girl somehow and she's got no one to go to and when the policeman mentioned child services she absolutely balked so I thought it would be best that she came back here," Prue replied.
Piper nodded and handed Prue two cups of tea.
"Do you want to meet her?" Prue asked.
"I don't know do you think it will be too overwhelming for her?" Piper asked.
"Well she's going to have to meet you eventually and this way you can help me comfort her," Prue said indicating for Piper to grab her own cup of tea and follow her to the living room.
When they got to the living Prue and Piper found Paige sitting on the couch where Prue had left her. She was hugging her knees tight to her body and was looking off vacantly into the distance.
"Paige honey here's some tea," Prue said gently handing the cup of steaming liquid to Paige.
Piper looked the young girl on the couch. Her dark brown eyes were red and puffy from crying and her pale skin seemed paler than Piper thought was possible, but there was something about her that felt so familiar to Piper, she just couldn't put her finger on what it was.
"This is my sister Piper," Prue said and Piper smiled down at Paige sitting on the couch.
"Sweetie, is there anyone we can call who would be worried about you?" Prue asked Paige.
Paige shook her head as she took a sip of her tea.
"No grandparents or aunties and uncles?" Piper asked her gently.
Again Paige shook her head.
"They were all I had," she said so softly that Prue almost couldn't hear her.
Prue put down her tea and put her arm around Paige's shoulders. She noticed the girl flinch slightly but then she relaxed and began to cry again.
Seeing the girl in this state broke Piper's heart. She felt the connection again and went to sit on the other side of Paige, putting her own arm around her. The three sat there while Paige sobbed for the loss of her parents.

"Thank you," Paige said when her cries had eased.
"It's alright sweetie anything you need," Prue said noticing how exhausted Paige had sounded.
Piper noticed it too and said to Paige gently,
"Honey do you want to go and lie down for awhile?"
"That's probably a good idea, Paige you look worn out," Prue said nicely rubbing Paige's arm comfortingly. Paige looked up at the two women who had been so nice and generous to her and nodded her head. She didn't know what it was but something about them made her feel safe.
"You can lie down on Phoebe's bed," Piper said helping Paige up from the couch.
"Phoebe?" Paige asked questioningly.
"She's our younger sister, she's 17 and she's at school at the moment so she won't bother you," Piper replied.
"Oh school," Paige said realizing that hers was probably wondering where she was.
"We'll call them for you and explain what happened," Piper said.
"Where do you go?" Prue asked coming up to the top of the stairs where Paige and Piper had stopped.
"Baker High," Paige replied.
"Oh that's where Phoebe goes, maybe you know her," Prue replied.
"Maybe," Paige replied with a yawn.
"Ok sweetie, lets get you to bed," Piper said steering Paige in the direction of Phoebe's room.
She walked in and over to the blinds which she proceeded to close. She turned back around and noticed Paige had stopped in the doorway.
"Paige what's wrong?" Piper asked her walking to where she stood.
"I'm, n.n,never going to see them again," Paige said her face scrunching up as she started to cry again.
Piper pulled the crying teen into a hug and led her over to Phoebe's bed.
"It's ok honey, it's ok," she said trying to console Paige.
Paige cried herself to sleep and when Prue came back from calling her school she saw Paige clinging to Piper.
"You felt it too didn't you," she whispered to Piper.
Piper nodded. "Yeah, she seems so familiar I just don't know what it is."
"Come on, let's let her sleep," Prue said helping Piper extract herself from Paige's grasp.
"Prue," Piper said as the sisters entered the living room.
"Yeah honey," Prue said turning to look at Piper.
"I don't want Paige to go to child services," Piper replied.
"Neither do I Piper, I'm going to call Darryl and see what we can do," Prue said.
