Author's note: I've changed a little bit in the story line, so please re-read the chapters before to know them; the biggest change is that I changed the name of Jill into Josephine (Jo). Sorry but I had a story in my mind but I thought it would be better if split into two stories. Hope you like this chapter and the one before. Thanks for who ever reviewed and for the nice guesses but I won't deny or confirm anything. Please review after reading, so that I know if I should continue the story or not, and if you have any improvements or ideas you have on mind please review.
Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed; otherwise it would not have been canceled.
(Scene: Cave: Jo is fighting with 3 demons, she blocks one's hand and deflects an energy ball heading to her to the demon who was trying to hit her, he screams as he burns and is vanquished; an athame orbs into her hand and she hits him in his stomach, and he burns into flames, a fireball hits her in the back and she falls to the ground.)
Jo (in pain while looking at her back): Damn! (She stands up and throws the demon with telekinesis to the wall and orbs her athame to his stomach and he is engulfed by flames and is vanquished. She starts to look around the cave and searching for other demons)
Jo: That's al….(A demon shimmers in with yellow shimmers, he has claws, a glowing tattoo on his neck and is in a demonic form and looks at her for a second and then throws thorns at her but she ducks and try to deflect the thorns but it didn't work and she is hit by one in her shoulder.)
Jo: Damn! (She orbs her athame to her hand and charges at the demon, as she come closer he doesn't move until she is an inch away from him and about to stab him, when he lifts up his claw and it his her in the stomach, he holds her by the collar and pushes his claw more, Jo gives a faint gasp and her eyes widen and are filled with tears as the demon pushes his claws more and then drops her to the floor and walks to pick up her athame and moves closer to her and kneels beside her and was about to stab her. She looks up to see the demon in his human form, no claws or glowing tattoo any more.)
(When the demon sees a potion heading for him, he shimmers out with the athame in his hand. We see that one who threw the potion is Leo; he shouts some weird Latin words while stretching both of his hands to his sided, we see he has a cut on his shoulder and some dust on his face and his shirt is cut. The cave now transfers into a room with 2 black walls and 2 bright white walls, a bright white ceiling and black floor which Jo is laying on unconscious. Leo then runs to her side and places her head on his lap and tries to wake her up)
Leo: Jo! Jo! Come On wake up please! Come on please!(Jo starts to regain conscious, but her vision is blur, she squeezes her eyes couple of times before it went straight again, she looks at Leo)
Leo: Hey! You OK?
Jo (in much pain): No! That thing … hurts…like…hell. (Leo notices that she is breathing with difficulties)
Leo: Sorry I couldn't shut it earlier but I was battling with the other demons and it's pretty hard without any powers. (Jo laughs but even laughing seems to hurt her, so she just smiles)
Leo: You think you have enough strength to orb us to the Manor, so maybe Paige can heal you.
Jo: Maybe… but we'll… have to stop…a couple of times. (Jo smiles and Leo smiles back and holds her hand and they orb out)
(Scene Mitchell's condo, Paige is lying on the couch watching TV and eating chips, she is flicking through the channels until she finds Buffy showing, it's a scene where Buffy is fighting with many vampires and then she kills them all)
Paige: Ha! She makes it look really easy… When it's nothing but… (She continues flicking through the channels, but soon enough yawns as she starts falling asleep)
Dream:
(The alley where she was attacked before and she is on the floor hurt, Jo is there fighting with demons but there is something familiar about her, it's like they are connected or something, she looks really familiar, the way she sends the demons telekinetically to the wall, the athame orbing into her hand and the way she stabs the demons with passion and precision)
Paige (to herself): God that looks familiar. (Suddenly a demon dark orbs in with an athame in his hand and he goes towards Paige)
Paige (to herself): Not again. (He is now kneeling beside her and raises the athame and stabs Paige, her eyes widen and then behind her pain she notices Jo still fighting the demons but now she is hurt because a demon just stabbed her but behind that she is starting to fade away and she had a sad face)
End of Dream
(Paige wakes up with a gasp, and sits up with a frightened face that is when we see Henry running to her with a concerned look)
Henry: Paige calm down (He sees that she is sweating and tears weld up in her eyes and she is breathing heavily)
Henry: Calm down, nothing is gonna happen to you, I am here. (Paige's breathe starting to calm down and she rest her head back on the couch and closes her eyes and starts breathing slowly)
Henry: So what happened? (She opens her eyes)
Paige: I don't know, I guess I fell asleep! (She is obviously lying and Henry knew that and something made him angrier)
Henry: Damn it Paige! You've been in the same state for over 2 months now, you wake up suddenly gasping for air, your heart pulse really fast and you always tell me that it's nothing but I know it's not, and it's not good for your health or the baby's. And I didn't even tell your sisters but I guess I should because they can help you. (Paige has a surprised look)
Paige: What? Henry it's nothing and you just worry so much and you will get my sisters worry for nothing too.
Henry: Paige! You don't see it from my prospective! When your sleeping it's like you're fighting, pain is shown all over your face until you wake up. And this doesn't look nothing to me! SO I AM GOING TO TELL PIPER!
Paige (angry): Henry I don't know what the hell is wrong with you but you aren't thinking straight! (She hears someone call her a charge maybe or something)
Paige: I gotta go, someone needs me. ( She stands up, goes to get her jacket and orbs out)
Henry: Screw this! (He goes over to the phone and picks it up and dials a number and waits)
Henry: Hi Piper! It's Henry!... Fine! Yeah! How is Leo and the boys?... OK!... Piper there is something I need to talk to you about… It's about Paige….. No she's alright, I think…. Look, I can't talk about it on the phone, I don't want Paige to find out either…Do you mind if I stop by and maybe we could talk….. Ok I'll get dressed and come asap….Bye
(Scene: Manor, living room, Piper is sitting on a chair and she just ended the phone call with Henry, Her eyes are puzzled)
Piper (to herself) : What could possibly be wrong with Paige?(her thoughts are cut off by crashing voice upstairs, she runs to the attic and enters it)
(Scene: attic, Leo is on the floor with Jo's head on his lap and beside them is a crashed lamp and desk. Piper notices Leo's cuts and Jo's bleeding, she runs to them and kneels beside them)
Piper: What happened? I thought you were at magic school.
Leo: I was but…. There is no time for this now…. I have to get to Paige. (He starts yelling )
Leo: Paige! Paige! Paige come on we need some healing here. (Piper looks at how concerned her husband is and how tears are welding in his eyes)
Piper: Paige! Get your ass right here wherever you ar…(She is cut off by Paige appearing in white orbs and she seems exhausted, she looks at Piper and then at Leo and then to Jo)
Paige (to herself): Oh my god! What the hell is going on with me?
(She was cut off by Leo shouting at her)
Leo: Paige…. What are you waiting for? Heal her now! (Paige hesitates and then goes towards unconscious Jo)
Paige: What happened? (She asked a question that she thinks she already knew the answer)
Paige (to herself): I must make sure! ( She is now healing Jo and Leo has a relieved face now that Jo's wounds are starting to heal. As soon as her wounds were healed she jolts up with a gasp and a heavy breath and looks around her as she feels someone grabbing her from the shoulders and laying her head back on a lap, it was Leo she realized and calmed down)
Leo: You're Ok! Calm down. (Her breathing is starting to get back to normal)
Piper: Paige, heal Leo!
Leo: I don't need….. (But Paige already started healing his facial cuts and then the cut on his shoulders and then she sits back on the floor)
Paige: Umm.. What happened?
Leo (starting to feel uneasy): Nothing… important.
Paige: Yeah that's why I could hear you calls from everywhere in San Francisco!
Jo: Oh sorry about that I couldn't hold my orbs for so long, I was too weak…
Piper: And now you're not! (Jo immediately knew what Piper meant and she sat up right and knelt on the wall behind her for support, Leo looked at her and had a smile on his face)
Piper: So what happened!
Leo: Nothing…. We were practicing and Jo couldn't dodge an athame that hit her. That's all!
Piper: Right! Number one you are such a bad liar, number 2 no athame could do a wound looking like that, unless it is with 4 blades which isn't possible. And why were you practicing?
Leo: umm.. For Jo, she's new at this stuff…. And I was helping her out and it was an athame that caused this, right? (He looks at Jo for support)
Jo: Oh.. Yeah! That's right!
Piper: If you are new at this, how could you have beaten 20 demons yesterday?
Jo: Um…. Practice makes perfect (she said innocently while looking at Leo)
Piper: Right! Paige! (She says looking at Paige who seems to be in another world and thinking about something)
Piper: Paige! (Paige looks alarmed)
Paige: Yes.. What?
Piper: Why don't you go get Phoebe?
Paige: Why?
Piper: You'll know later! (Paige orbs out, as soon as she does a bell ringing is heard)
Piper: That must be Henry! I'm gonna go talk to him. You both stay here until I come back.
Leo: Why?
Piper: Because I said so. (With that she left the attic and headed down stairs)
Leo: That was close!
Jo: You think! You've always been such a bad liar.
Leo: Well I have been practically been a whitelighter for almost my entire life and I hadn't had to lie.
Jo: Anyway! I think Piper is on to us!
Leo: What? No! She can't be!
Jo: She is asking too many questions that neither of us can answer!
