Chapter One
Paige Matthews stared at the framed photograph of her and Kyle Brody, her brown eyes full of tears. "Oh, Kyle, I wish you were here," She whispered. Paige placed photo frame backon her dressing table and rested her hands on her stomach. "We need you." Wiping away her tears, Paige exited her bedroom and made her way up to the attic. She pushed the door open gently to see a flurry of golden lights appearing out of nowhere. Her jaw dropped as the lights disappeared to reveal a beautiful woman with long raven black hair and a confused look on her stunning face. She was wearing black leather pants and a dark blue silky camisole.
"P-Prue?" Paige whispered. The woman's baby blue eyes focused on Paige, wondering who she was. She gasped.
"Paige?" Prudence Halliwell cried out. "What am I doing here?"
Minutes after Paige had orbed out, leaving Prue alone in the attic, the witchlighter orbed back in with two complaining sisters.
"Paige, you can't just orb to my work like-." Phoebe stopped when she saw Prue stood there, looking uncomfortable.
"Prue?" Piper and Phoebe practically screamed in unison. Prue smiled and held out her hands.
"In the flesh…I think," She said. At lightning speed, the two sisters ran to Prue and flung themselves into her open arms, sobbing. Prue looked slightly stunned, still wondering why the hell she was here.
"How…what…and why?" Piper blurted out in between sobs. Paige shifted her feet, not feeling entirely welcome.
"I don't know," Prue replied. "I was talking to Mom and then the next thing I knew, I was here and I saw Paige." Piper and Phoebe glanced over at Paige and smiled.
"Paige meet Prue," Phoebe said softly. Paige smiled nervously at her eldest sister. Prue walked over and pulled Paige into a hug.
"It's good to finally meet you, Paige," She told her.
"You too," Paige said happily. Piper clapped her hands together and announced, "Okay, people! The return of our dead sister! This causes for a celebration!" Phoebe laughed, but knew very well that they couldn't just go out and celebrate. People would recognize Prue.
"We should cast a spell first," Paige said. "So that nobody remembers that Prue died." Prue nodded. "Can you write one?" She asked. Paige looked thoughtful for a moment before chanting, "Hear the words, hear the rhyme, make everyone believe that Prue never died." A golden light washed over the city and the triquatra on the Book of Shadows began to glow.
"The Power of Four forever more," The sisters heard Grams whisper, her voice echoing around the room.

The next day, Prue woke up wondering where she was. Then she realized. She was in their mom's old room seeing as Paige had taken hers. She groaned, feeling the desperate need for caffeine. The telekinetic climbed out of bed and padded downstairs, still wearing her pajamas.
"Morning," She mumbled, rubbing her eyes. She opened them to see Paige and Cole sat at the breakfast table. "You!" She hissed, ready to use her telekinesis on the half demon.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Paige yelled, jumping to her feet and making the letter T with her hands. "Prue, Cole lives here now," She informed her big sister. "He and Phoebe are engaged." Prue's jaw dropped.
"WHAT?" She shouted. "How can she be marrying a demon?" Paige raised one eyebrow and said honestly, "I've been asking myself the same thing." Cole stood up and glanced at the two sisters. He sighed.
"Well, I'm off to work," He told them and shimmered out. Prue turned to back to Paige and said, "Where are Phoebe and Piper anyway?"
"Work," The witchlighter said. Suddenly, a demon shimmered in behind her and grabbed her by her throat.
"No, Paige!" Prue cried. She was about to use her powers, when the demon stabbed Paige in the stomach with an athame and shimmered out. Paige gasped and fell to the floor in a puddle of her own blood.
"My…baby…" She choked out before everything went black.
