May 10, 1978
Within a couple of months, Prue and her sisters: Piper, Phoebe, and nine month old Paige were on their way to a new foster home. Prue had gotten her wish to leave the home of Alec and Jasper Hutton, but she didn't end up being able to go back to the manor like she had hoped. Now she feared that they'd never get back to the manor, and ultimately find out what was in the attic and why their Grams had gone up there.
The four sisters are entering the home of Kelvin Lowe and Gina Lowe. The first couple of days with Kelvin and Gina were okay. The couple was nice, but soon they weren't so nice. That was when Prue realized that their niceness was all a facade.
On the third day with Kelvin and Gina, Prue was woken up to the sound of Piper screaming and Phoebe and Paige crying.
"Get back here, you stupid child!" Gina yelled at Piper, "I wasn't done with you yet!"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please don't hit me again." Piper cried
"It's your own fault. If you were smarter, I wouldn't have to punish you." Gina told the kid
Prue jumped out of bed and ran downstairs where she saw Gina chasing Piper while holding a wooden spoon in her hand. Prue saw red marks on Piper and tears running down the girll's cheeks. She fumed and went crazy. She got in between Piper and Gina. She started hitting and punching and kicking Gina.
"You. Hit. My. Sister." Prue screamed at the woman.
Gina grabbed Prue by the hair and yanked it, "Don't hit me, little girl. I can make your life hell. I could tell your social worker that you're manic and that you are a danger to your siblings and then you will never see your sisters again."
"Please don't do that." Prue cried as she pleaded and begged, "I'll do whatever you want, but don't take my sisters from me."
"Go stand in the corner. Face the wall." Gina ordered.
Prue nodded, then ran to the corner, and faced the wall. She felt Gina pull down her pants and her underwear. She felt the cold, breezy air on her bottom and then she felt a stinging slap on her butt. Gina had hit her with the wooden spoon.
While Gina was preoccupied with Prue, Piper picked up Paige and then motioned to Phoebe to follow her as she headed upstairs. Piper locked herself in the bathroom with Phoebe and Paige. She tried to calm them down, but with Gina yelling at and hitting Prue her efforts were all basically pointless. The noise was upsetting to Paige's ears, and Phoebe was just scared.
"Bend down. Hands on your ankles." Gina told Prue
Prue obeyed and then she felt Gina hit her with the wooden spoon again and again.
"You're nothing! Did you hear me?! Nothing! No one will ever want you." Gina yelled at Prue as she hit her again and again. It felt like it went on forever. Prue fought back her tears and the urge to cry. She didn't want to upset her sisters anymore than they already were, especially Phoebe and Paige, who were crying bloody murder.
Once Gina had finished with Prue, she dropped the wooden spoon, and then lifted the girl's pants and underwear back onto her sore bottom.
"Now go upstairs and shut your sisters up before I punish them too." Gina commanded
Prue sniffled and gave a nod, "Yes ma'am." Then she ran upstairs, knocked on the bathroom door, and announced to Piper that it was safe to open the door.
Piper unlocked the bathroom door after realizing that it was her older sister. Prue walked into the bathroom, picked up Phoebe, and then sat down next to Piper.
"Mama!" Phoebe cried into Prue's neck as she wrapped her arms around Prue. Then she stuck her two middle fingers in her mouth.
Paige crawled over to Prue, laid her head on Prue's lap, and then stuck her thumb in her mouth.
"I'm sorry that Gina hurt you, little sis." Prue apologized to Piper, "She won't bother you again. I'm going to get us out of here."
Piper nodded, "It's okay, Prue. And I know you will."
"No. It's not okay, Pipa. From now on I promise to put you, Phoebe, and Paige first." Prue assured
"Okay Prue." Piper replied. She smiled as she looked down at Paige. She whispered, "She's asleep."
Prue smiled, "I think Phoebe is asleep too, but I can't see her face."
Piper gave a nod as she smiled softly. She took a breath, "Prue, do you miss Alec and Jasper?"
"Yeah. I didn't realize that their home was so good." Prue stated "Next time we get a good home like there's I will do everything to make sure they keep us." Little did Prue know that it would be six years before she and her sister got another home like their first foster home. Little did Prue know that their trials were just beginning, and they would get a lot worse before they got better.
"Okay. I love you, Prue." Piper said
Prue nodded, "Yeah. You too, Pipa."
