Chapter 2 My Name Is Paige
Piper watched as Phoebe placed a blanket over Paige's sleeping body. She felt so guilty. She had been so concerned about losing Leo and trying to find a way to get him back that she didn't think of what this was putting her sisters through. Paige was stuck who knows where now, all because of her. No, this wasn't all because of her, she blame the elders and this screwed up destiny as well as herself.
"Do you think she's ok?" Phoebe asked as she slumped down onto the old sofa.
"I don't know. We could say the spell, ya know, see if it sends us back to where ever she went."
"Piper, you know it doesn't work like that. She cast the spell, so she has to let it play out." Sensing her sister's pain she motioned for Piper to sit beside her. "This isn't your fault you know."
"She was trying to help me Pheebs. She was trying to fix this whole messed up situation. So, yes, technically in a way, this is my fault."
Phoebe watched as Piper ran a hand through her long brown hair. She had been through so much here lately and it was taking its toll on her. "She'll be fine, I know she will." Phoebe tried to sound sincere, but she really couldn't tell if she was trying to convince herself or her sister.
"Well explain to me why her body is still here but we can't wake her up." Piper looked at Phoebe, praying she had an answer.
"I can answer that." Both Piper and Phoebe jumped when they heard that voice. It was one they hadn't heard in a while now. They turned, seeing their mom standing there behind them.
"Mom?" Phoebe couldn't help but smile, she loved when her mom made these surprise visits.
"I can't stay long, seeing as how you girls don't have a white lighter at the moment, they sent me."
"You can tell us where Paige is?" Piper tried to hide the fear and concern in her voice, but she knew her mom could sense it.
"Yes, it seems you're baby sister has developed a new power." Patty walked closer, preparing to give her girls the explanation they deserved to hear.
"What would that be?" Phoebe watched as her mom walked over to the book. Running her hands slightly over the old worn cover.
"She can astral project now, just as Prue could. Actually, it was Prue's idea to give it to her."
"You talked to Prue?" Piper felt a pull at her heart. She thought about her sister, a lot. But it never hurt her as much till someone spoke her name.
"Yes, I did. You know she watches you girls, everyday she's with you. See, Paige cast a spell, hoping to find someway to help you get Leo back. What she didn't count on is the fact that this isn't the first time you've lost Leo. Paige is actually in the past now, back when the elders took Leo the first time. Prue talked the elder's into giving Paige this new power now, hoping it would help her."
"But if she interferes with anything, won't that change our future, or this present, you know what I mean." Phoebe reached up, trying to rub away the migraine she could feel coming on.
"I don't think you'll have to worry about that, she knows enough to be cautious. She's is getting a chance to do something though, something she deserves."
"And that would be?" Piper asked.
"She's getting to know her oldest sister. You girls just have to wait this out, I promise she'll be fine." Patty smiled as she looked from Piper to Phoebe. "Be patient my sweet girls. Blessed be."
They both watched as their mom vanished just as quickly as she had come. They shared a look with each other, knowing neither of them would be fine until their little sister was back in this time.
Past 2000
Paige held her breath as she crossed over the thresh hold. The manor was exactly same, just without the toys scattered around. Still though, something seemed different. It hit her then, this was their life before her. This is the home that Phoebe and Piper shared with Prue, not her. She was pulled from her thoughts as Prue placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You'll be safe here, I promise." Prue pulled her jacket off, placing it neatly on the coat rack before turning back to Paige. "The kitchen's through there, make yourself at home while I go find my sisters."
Paige watched as Prue started up the stairs. She could see a lot of Piper in her oldest sister. Just the way that Prue was ready to take charge and figure out a way to fix things. She smiled a little, thinking of how her Piper would react when she told her this.
Upstairs Prue was knocking on Piper's door. She was worried about her. The elder's had taken Leo just a few days ago. Last night Prue had woken Piper up from a nightmare, one where Leo had told her to move on. "Piper, please open the door." Prue waited, still no response. "Ok, don't say I didn't warn you." Prue checked behind her at the stairs, making sure that her new visitor hadn't followed her. Sure, it seemed this girl was use to demons, but she didn't want to freak her out by revealing her other power. Closing her eyes she concentrated as she felt herself project into Piper's room. Opening her eyes she was met by the glare from a very pissed off sister.
"You know what Prue, if I don't open the door and I don't answer you, that means I don't feel like talking. It doesn't mean just pop in." Piper stood up, and walked toward the still closed door.
"Wait." Prue reached up, taking hold of Piper's arm. She felt a little hurt when her sister jerked away from her. "I was attacked by a demon today." Prue hoped that would distract her sister from Leo, if only for a few minutes.
"What?" Piper looked her sister up and down, searching for any wounds.
"I'm fine, actually I wouldn't be if this girl hadn't pushed me out of the way."
"What girl?"
Prue proceeded to explain about finding the girl in the alley and her pushing her out of the way when the demon appeared. "She's in the kitchen now, I couldn't leave her there. There's just…"
Piper watched as her sister paused, wondering what exactly was going through her big sister's head.
"There's just what?" Phoebe asked. They both turned to see her standing beside Prue's other self. She had been listening to the conversation.
"How did you get the door opened?" Prue just shook her head. "Nevermind." She knew Phoebe had picked the lock. Her sister had a lot of those mischievous talents. Closing her eyes she concentrated and was moments later back in her body. "As I was saying, there's just something about her, not bad, but just something I can't place."
"Well, lets go thank her for saving our big sister." Piper walked past the two and headed for the kitchen.
Prue and Phoebe shared a look as they followed behind her.
Paige sat at the table, now stirring a cup of tea. She was thinking about her sisters. Not just Piper and Phoebe, but Prue as well. She would actually get to be around all three of her big sisters. That was a big plus in her mind. The downside though, her sisters couldn't know about her. She had to keep her true identity a secret. She would never get to interact with all three of them as sisters. She sighed as she felt a tear fall.
"Hey." Prue called out.
Paige looked up, quickly wiping the tear away, hoping no one saw.
"These are my sisters, Piper and Phoebe." Prue stopped, realizing something she had forgotten to ask. "I'm sorry, I never did get your name."
Paige thought for a minute, could she tell them her real name? Maybe just her first name, surely that wouldn't do any damage. "Paige, my name is Paige."
