"Paige, where are you going?" Piper spins around as I grab the book and make a
mad dash for my room.
"Upstairs," I yell back. I can imagine the look she's giving me, but I don't even care. I sit in my room with the door locked, and look down at the spell.
Moments lost make witches wonder, Warlock's plot or demon's plunder? If this is not a prank, help us to fill in the blanks.
To say it or not to say it... On one hand it would give me back missing chunks of my life, on the other hand do I really want those chunks back?
I need Phoebe. I unlock my door and head into the hall. I nock on her door.
"Yeah?" Cole calls
"Um, can I come in?" I ask.
"Sure," he says. I open the door wondering what I'm about to walk into.
Its just Cole sitting on Phoebe's bed leafing through a magazine though.
"She's in the bathroom." He says pointing out the hall.
"Thanks" I say wondering why he didn't just tell me at first. I knock on the bathroom door, but there is no answer.
"Pheebs," I say finally just walking in. She's sitting on the counter with her head in her hands.
"What?" She asks sounding tired.
"I found s-" I start, but she rushes over to the toilet to throw up. Then there's another knock on the door.
"Yeah?" I call.
"Are you okay?" Piper calls back. Phoebe looks at me pleadingly.
"I think Paige is getting sick.'" Phoebe yells out immediately. I shoot her a glare. I'm empted to yell out 'I think Phoebe is getting pregnant' but I don't.
"I just need a little bit of time to tell her.'" she whispers to me.
"I'll get a thermometer." Piper says, and I hear her footsteps going down the stairs.
"Phoebe!" I say.
"Please just gowith itfor a bit." She says putting her hands together. When I don't respond she gets on her knees.
"Fine" I say opening the door, and going into my room. I shove the book under my bed as I hear steps coming into my room. Piper comes in followed by Phoebe. I take the thermometer from Piper.
"I can take care of myself." I say, as she holds on tight to it. She rolls her eyes and shoves it in my mouth.
I watch it hit 98.7 and stop. It beeps and Piper grabs it. Phoebe's busted.
"100.5" she says slowly. I look over at Phoebe who's smiling away.
"You better get some rest, missy." Phoebe says.
"Yeah, we'll check up on you later," Piper says as she leaves. I shoot Phoebe one last glare before she shuts the door.
...But hey, it's a moment alone. I grab the book from under my bed and decode to go for it.
I recite the spell, and let all the new memories wash over me.
When everything has come back to me I feel like I'm complete. Like I know Prue. I remember all the things she said to me, and how she held me till I fell asleep the night my parents died.
I remember what she looked like. For the first time I have a real image of her in my head. Not just a face from pictures, but how she smiled, the way she smelled, and the way she talked.
I also remember when we were in the clinic she comforted me with a story about herself. She had a kid!
I jump up to go tell Phoebe, but something stops me. The pages of the book are turning. I wonder if it's Prue...
"Stealing Innocence" I read aloud totally startled. Then everything clicks, and I know exactly what's happening. Now I need to figure out how to break the news to my sisters.
