Chapter 5

(Paige)

I was sobbing so bad you could barely understand a word I was saying at this point. I finally looked up at my sisters and motioned for them to talk. They all had tears streaming down there face. They all came and hugged me. I relaxed into their embrace.

"Paige why didn't you tell us all this before?" Phoebe asks

"Pheebs you guys my sisters and I've known you and Piper for years now and just got to meet Prue and I can barely tell you guys there's no way I could have told you before it hurts to much talk about it to anyone. Besides what could you have done except for not know what to say to me all the time and I really couldn't handle that from you guys. "

They all nod in understanding and release me. "Okay I still have some stuff to tell you guys so please no interrupting." They nod again

"Even though I was depressed I still made myself keep my promise Jessica and I both got into the same college, we got closer almost like sisters but she couldn't pull me out of my depression. But she was always there for me even when I was a bitch to her she never left.

"After about six months of college I met this guy, he was wonderful he didn't even know me and he was always trying to help, I was grateful to him he pulled me out of my depression and we fell in love. We were great together; Jessica liked him even though she was sad that we weren't hanging out as much. She told me "Any guy who could bring you out of your head must be perfect." She was only semi-joking but at the time I thought it was true.

He was the only person besides you three and Jessica that I told my whole story to. After dating for a year we were on spring break and he took me down to his uncle's cabin and proposed to me I said yes. We decided that we wanted to wait till college was over to actually get married.

After I said yes he changed and started hitting me, I was an idiot and went into denial. How could the one guy other than my father that I trusted be like all the others? (He always told me how fragile I was and how if it weren't for him I would be dead, and how weak I was, how I would have joined my baby girl already if it wasn't for him, how I've always been so easy to break even before I met him.)

But eventually it went too far and I called the wedding off and left him. Jessica was relieved that I finally saw sense; no matter how many times she tried I wouldn't listen to her.

He left me alone for a while until one night me and jess went out to a club and when we were leaving he knocked us out from behind when I woke up he had Jess with a knife to her throat. I was frozen to the spot because I had no doubt he would actually do it. I grabbed my phone out of my back pocket and dialed 911 behind my back and pushed send. I put it back in my back pocket. He knew the only way he could hurt me was to hurt her. He told me "you're going to suffer just like I have."

He started cutting her throat and I jumped into action I lunged at him but I was too late." My voice cracked

"She was dead before I got to them. He dropped her and then came after me. I ran but stopped suddenly and turned so fast he didn't even see me. I twisted his arm behind his back and took the knife from him. (Something you learn after your whole life in foster care.) He was stronger than me though so I had to let go of him. He pushed me to the floor and went for the knife. I closed my eyes and reacted before I knew what was happening. When I opened them again the knife was through his chest.

I got off the floor and pulled out my phone and the man on the other end said "Were on our way." I hung up and just sat down and pulled Jessica into my lap. When they got there the cops just asked me some standard questions. Then I went home.

For the rest of college I was kind of on auto pilot. I gradually became me again but it took me a long time to get over it. When I graduated I got a job at social services because I wanted to help kids who were in the same situation."

I finished again starting to sob uncontrollably. Prue is rubbing my back trying to get me to calm down. Once I finally collected myself Piper asks the question I've been dreading most.

"What was this guy's name Paige?" I sigh and finally tell them

"Jerrek" they all stare at me in shock. "Okay before the questions start, No he wasn't a demon, yes he died in the warehouse, and no I don't know how he's a demon now." I tell them and before they can say anything else I tell them

"We're going to kill this bastard; he already killed one of my sisters and tried to kill two others. He's back for revenge and he's not going to get it." I sigh before I tell them one more thing standing up "I hate him more than every person or demon I've ever met. So you guys have to promise me something."

"anything." They all say

"No matter what I say or do listen okay, but don't make him suspicious. I already have a good idea of his plans but I can't tell you about them." I tell them "How?" Prue asks "Good hearing." I tell her simply

"Will you do what I say because I know him and there is always going to be a trick."

"Yes" They tell me at once I smile at them

"You know what, I never thought I would say this but telling you guys just made me feel a whole lot better. Like a weights been lifted from my shoulder." They all hug me again till I stand up "Lets get this over with once and for all." We all head up stairs to start our plan.
