Phoebe hurried out of the attic and down the stairs as fast as she could with Piper following her behind. She couldn't believe what she had saw. She was in some way disgusted and confused at the same time, she didn't know what to believe but she knew that her premonitions had never lied to her before.
"Phoebe! Where are you going!" Piper cried to her as she tried to keep up with her sister. Phoebe didn't answer, she was still thinking about what she had saw. She was trying to process the events that had seen. "Talk to me Pheebs!" Still no answer from her and this was becoming a strain on Piper. She needed to know what she had seen if it was to do with her sister. But still, Phoebe continued walking and thinking, not listening to a word her sister was saying to her. "Phoebe! Talk to me! PLEASE!" Finally Piper had enough and stepped in front of her sister and grabbed her by the shoulders to wake her out of her thoughts.
"Piper please, we need to get to work." She threw her sister's hands off of her shoulder and moved around her to get where she needed to be.
"Wait!" Piper grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back to her. "Phoebe Halliwell, you will tell me and you will tell me now what you saw. Right now!" She shouted at her.
"Okay…by you not going to like it. I saw everything Prue did, attacking you the other night and kidnapping Paige, taking the book, destroying the attic and hurting Leo. I just cant believe it…our own sister…" Letting go of Phoebe's arm Piper stared into eyes. She knew that this wasn't true, her own sister, who was very much dead, would not and could not do this in anyway possible.
"Pheebs, come on we are going to sort this out. We need to come up with a plan. Maybe there is a reason behind all of this and we are not looking at it properly. She is-was our sister. She would never do this to us." Piper calmly suggested to her.
"Well Piper! I just saw our sister kidnap our other sister, steal the book and hurt Leo too! I think I'm looking at it properly!" Phoebe shouted back at her. Piper looked at her younger sister as she continued to mutter different logical reasons behind this. She knew for a fact that this was not her sister. But someone else that was behind it all, and she was beginning to understand a little quicker.
Paige Matthews struggled to open her eyes, move her arms and legs or even breath. Her mind was spinning and she was trying to think of the last thing that happened to her. It was a blank, a big hopeless blank that was not going to help her in the situation that she was now in. Think Paige, think!
She could hear people muttering around her, asking each other what they should do with her. This was beginning to make her nervous something bad was most likely going to happen to her. She tried to orb out of the place that she was being held in, but her power was down.
Crap!
Her eyes were fully open now and she was beginning to adjust her eyes to her surroundings, objects were coming into full view and she was starting to see what kind of evil was keeping her here.
She looked over in the corner and saw three identical demons discussing to each other in a strange language that she did not recognise. What made her question this situation more than anything was what did they want with her. Or what did they want with her sisters and the Book of Shadows. They hadn't seemed to noticed that she had woken up so she managed to sit up against the wall that she was near to keep herself upright. She rubbed the back of her neck feeling the sharp pains that causing her most discomfort. "Ow…" She muttered to herself quietly, she moved her hand back down so she could examine it herself. There was a deep cut in her hand that moved from index finger all the way down to her wrist. She looked at closer trying to think when and where this had happened. It was still bleeding but only slightly, it wouldn't cause her much damage.
She let her mind go back to the last thing that she remembered and that was being in the attic thumbing through the Book of Shadows trying to help Piper. She was carelessly turning over the papers without a hope in hell to try and find what Piper needed her to find. She was not in the mood for this, she wanted to care about her sister but she felt that the stress of her life was now making it a big issue for her and for herself.
"Nothing…absolutely nothing…" Paige said to herself, she wished that Piper would be able to hear her so she wouldn't have to do this herself. But being the good sister that she was, she dragged on and on hoping that something would eventually pop up. "Eurgh! I don't even know what I'm looking for!" She slammed the Book of Shadows shut and placed her head in her hands, feeling the on coming strain of a headache.
All of a sudden, she heard a shimmer in the room. She wasn't alone anymore. She raised her head out of hands and looked up to see someone that she didn't know personally but knew her anyhow.
"What the…" She wanted to try and move over towards her but couldn't seem to find the strength in her legs to move them one at a time. "How-how are you here?" Was all that she managed to say to her.
A smile lit on her visitors face, was this a good sign she didn't know, but she knew that she was going to find out soon. "The thing that you should be asking me is, "are you going to hurt me?"
What? Paige looked at her with her eyes fully wide, willing to run if she could make herself run that is. She picked up the Book of Shadows in her hands and held in closely in her arms. She opened her mouth to call out for Piper but she was too quick for her.
"I don't think so…" She waved her hand at her causing Paige to go flying across the room dropping the book and landing straight into a cupboard.
"AHHHH!" The pain was like nothing that she had felt before, she was struggling to breath and to even stand on her feet. She looked across the room and saw a knife, she didn't want to hurt her, though she felt like it.
"KNIFE!" She screamed, aiming it to hurt her, but not kill her. But she was too quick for her. She waved her hand towards the knife and went back in the opposite direction, towards Paige. She tried to orb out of the way but it was too quick. She automatically raised her hands to protect herself, though nothing good would come out of that, because the knife sliced the palm of her hand open.
"Ahhhhh!" Blood was pouring out of her hand, she knew that she was going to have to fight back.
"Do you think that you can beat me? You are WEAK!" She screamed at her. Without knowing what was going to happen next, she raised her hand and a fire ball in appear in her hand. Paige confused now more than ever, knew that this was not a power that she possessed. Unless she was now truly evil? The fireball came at her, Paige struggled to stand up but made it in time as the fireball hit when the ruins of the cupboard, but the blast caused her to go head first into a book case full of books of witchcraft and these were not light books. She opened her eyes and looked around the attic it was becoming a mess, their was now a fire in one part of the room, and she didn't want to be set on fire next.
"PIPER!" Paige screamed at the top of her lungs, she didn't have any fire power and needed her sisters help. Where was Phoebe, where was everyone? She rolled over to her front and used her hands and legs to support herself back up, when she saw and chest. She knew that would knock her out good. "CHEST!" She shouted, it magically disappeared and Paige aimed it at her attacker. But once again she was too quick. She waved her hand causally and aimed it at her. Eyes widen in fear, she orbed out of the way, and with a flick of her attackers hand, she went crashing into another part of the room.
Paige's face, now bloody, she was hardly recognisable through the amount of damage that she had gone through. She was aching in pain everywhere and did not have any more strength to pick herself back up or to even orb. She opened her eyes and looked up, groaning as she attempted this. When suddenly she heard a noise coming up the stairs towards the attic. Oh thank God, Piper is coming… she thought to herself.
"Paige?" The voice did not come from her older sister, but from her brother-in-law, Leo. This was not good, in fact it was even worse. He did not have a fighting chance now that he was mortal. She saw him looking dumbstruck and totally shocked, she wanted to shout at him to get out of here, get help or her sisters which would have been nice. But he didn't move. "Prue…" He didn't finish want he wanted to say because before he knew it he was flew across the room, knocked out unconscious.
Paige watched as she came walking slowly up to her and bent down to get a better look at her battered and bruised face. She smiled ever so evilly at her and placed a cold hand on her shoulder, "You're coming with me." Paige tried to scream as loud as she could, because before she knew what was happening she was gone.
Paige rubbed her forehead and thought how much this was not making any sense at all. Prue was not a warlock, she was not evil, she could not steal the book, and she was definitely not alive. There was only one simply explanation and that was one of those demons had shape-shifted into her other Sister. But it did not explain how they were able to steal the Book of Shadows.
She heard footsteps coming towards her, she tried to prepare herself in case she needed to fight back, but she was so weak and in pain that part of her didn't care what happened her. But she did care about the truth.
"Dear me!" A loud voice echoed across the room. There was absolutely no chance that she was going to escape any time soon.. "Well well. Look what we have here? A little witchy-white lighter. What will I ever do with you?"
"To be honest, I don't really care at this present moment in time. But what I do care about is how you were able to steal the Book of Shadows." She asked ever so carefully.
"Now now, if I told you all that were would the fun be in all that?" He merely replied back to her, with a grin plastered across his face.
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm afraid you are going to answer my questions." Paige retorted back to him. His face came closer to Paige's, she thought that he was going to bite him, but instead he raised his head and slapped her across the face.
"You should learn some manners, my sweet." He got back up and walked briskly over to his other demons.
"Bastard…" She muttered slowly to herself. She rubbed the side of her face where she had been slapped and wiped away the blood that was pouring out of her mouth. This was beginning to seem like a bad chain reaction. And it was only going to get worse.
