As Phoebe stood in her on the upstairs floor of the manor she was feeling very guilty. She hadn't exactly told Paige everything about her powers. As she thought about her need for a shower she realized that she didn't have any soap but she didn't feel like getting dressed again to get it. She looked quickly around to see if anyone was watching. A bar of soap appeared in her hand in a poof of black smoke. When she had given her sisters the vanquishing the woogeyman she hadn't vanquished him completely, she couldn't bring herself to give up her new powers that the woogeyman had given her. She knew her sisters would disapprove of that considering the fact that it was technically dark magic she couldn't really blame them. Lately though Phoebe had started to feel something different, though she couldn't exactly put her finger on it. She looked at the clock when she got out of the shower and looked at the clock. Shit. For the second time today she was running late for Paige's visit.
As Paige was getting ready to leave for the Manor she called out over her shoulder "I know your there seer so you might as well tell me what it is you want cause right now you're making me late."
"Such a cocky young women" came a male voice. "It seems you have forgotten the one you serve." Paige immediately turned around and dropped to her knees in fear.
"Master forgive me. I did not realize it was you who was behind me. What is your bidding?"
"It seems we may not have to wait as long as we thought in revealing who you truly are. It seems the darkness already has a grip on her heart though she has yet to fully realize that. If you can show that to her and make her see then we can begin with the plan and you can finally be with your true love." However after the powers have been collected the seer has said that I shall be overthrown but I will send Shax after all of them and then nothing will stand in my way. Little did he know that at that moment the seer had already sent Shax to his death so that her prophecy of the overthrow would be fulfilled.
Crash! Came the plates in the dining room as the huge battle with Shax began. "Phoebe, Prue, HELP!!!!! They came running in just in time to dodge a couple of energy balls that came their way. Just then an energy ball came shooting towards Phoebe who knew that she couldn't get out of the way in time. Suddenly a voice from nowhere called "energy ball" it flew back at Shax stunning him long enough for the sisters to throw their vanquishing potion and recite the vanquishing spell as Shax disintegrated into a pile of ash. As soon as Shax disintegrated the sisters instantly looked around fir their savior and to phoebe's surprise, they saw Paige.
"Paige" Phoebe squealed. "I am so happy to see you. I mean this isn't exactly the way I would have told my sisters but hey whatever works for ya." She smiled before leaning in to kiss her girlfriend. Not wanting to interrupt a private moment but also not wanting to wait for some answers Prue butted right in.
"What the fuck is going on here? What the hell are you?" she said staring at Paige in disbelief. "Cause that energy ball looked like it orbed itself back at Shax and I have never heard of a white lighter who could do that." Paige and Phoebe weren't quite sure what to say to that as an uneasy silence settled over the group. It was a good while before Phoebe even noticed that she was bleeding at a pretty steady rate.
"Oh for Christ's sake! Leo get down here!" Before Leo even had a chance to appear Phoebe felt that warm glow start to flow over her injured arm. She looked at her girlfriend gratefully. When Leo did arrive about a split second later he looked very confused.
"What's going on here? What attacked you and who is she?" he asked pointing at Paige.
"Well we were attacked by Shax, you know the Source's personal assassin? He would have killed us to if it hadn't been for Paige here. We are still trying to figure out what she is ourselves." All this was a lot of information to digest for Leo in a span of thirty seconds.
"I think I am gonna go lie down for a little bit I am not really feeling good right now." With that Phoebe excused herself to her room with a meaningful look at Paige. Paige however was too busy being grilled by Leo and her sisters to see it. "Sometimes I just really wish I knew what it was like to be evil. To be able to do whatever I want without breaking rules"! Phoebe grunted all of this into her pillow. As she began to calm down she thought about how much she wanted to just take a baseball bat to all the stuff in the manor and one instantly appeared in a poof of black smoke. She really wasn't sure why she got into these destructive moods it seemed like they just hit her for no reason.
"Impressive" came Paige's voice from the corner of the room. Phoebe jumped and nearly fell right on top of her head in fact if it weren't for her powers of levitation she probably would have.
"How long have you been there?" Phoebe asked nervously. Part of her was really worried what her girlfriend would think about her if she had heard her rant.
"Long enough baby" she purred. "I heard what you said."
Shit!!! Phoebe groaned inwardly. She felt so sure that Paige would break up with her now, that her next words caught Phoebe off guard.
"I can make that happen for you if you let me"
"What are you talking about?" Without warning Paige shimmered quickly in and out of view. Paige crossed her fingers hoping she had picked the right time to reveal herself for what she really was. Otherwise her whole plan would be ruined.
