A/N: This is in Season two, with some of season four mixed in since I have brought in Paige. She needs to have some of her own adventures. I don't know what her powers are going to be other than she is part-whitelighter so that means she has to orb. All the future and past lives episodes haven't taken place. Prue has quit her job at Buckland's, Phoebe hasn't gone back to school yet, and Piper has her club however she is still torn between Dan and Leo and Leo is mortal. Jenny is living with her parents since I'm not interested in having her around. Andy died, Darryl knows their secret. Not sure if I want Paige dating anyone right now. Hope that sums up where we are.
Past Lives and an Unexpected Visit
A woman slept in her flat; exhausted from the days events, but something unexpected would occur on this night, a night that appeared to be just like any other. She was dreaming about a woman who looked much like herself. She found herself in a castle, in unfamiliar surroundings, yet somehow they appeared very familiar to her. She found herself reading from a very thick book, but the words confused her. What did she know about dragon's bane? It was like she had no control over her actions as she watched herself expertly mix the ingredients. She looked out her window and smiled, the time was drawing closer, just as soon as the stars were aligned the kingdom would be hers. They would all pay, she would make them pay.
Paige awoke gasping for breathe as she clutched at her sheets and looked around at the familiar surroundings. She got up to make herself a cup of herbal tea, that usually settled her nightmares whenever she had them. She wasn't much of a cook, but even she couldn't mess up tea. She sipped on her tea and looked up at the stars, was it just her imagination or did the stars look the same as they had in her dream? Was it a coincidence? Since her mid-teens she had had dreams of this other world, but it was the first time she had sensed something sinister in the other woman. The woman had grown up normal and had discovered powers later in life, it reminded her of a fairy tale she had once heard but couldn't quite place. She sat the cup of tea by the bed, and smuggled into her purple and red comforter trying to shake that dream that had felt all too real. She had once read that the thoughts you think before going to sleep influenced her dream, so she thought of a haven, of safety, and soon she saw an attic room and a book on the podium. She must be asleep again she thought. She saw to her delight, a beanbag chair. She smiled, she would read the book and solve the puzzle once and for all. She placed her hand in the book to get a better grip on it. The book was so heavy. She peered closer at the book. The symbol on the front, she recognized it immediately, although she didn't know what it was, it was something she had been drawing and doodling ever since she could remember, although she still didn't know what it meant. It appeared to have three circles intertwined with one another. It was a symbol of three as one, that much she knew. Once she touched it, it appeared to glow, but she ignored it. Books didn't glow, she knew that. She was an educated woman, it had to be a trick of the light. She hefted the book up and took it back to the beanbag chair. She opened the book and read. 'Book of Shadows, Melinda Warren, 1693.' Wow, this book was old, Paige thought. "Melinda Warren," Paige read outloud savoring the name, wondering if it had anything to do with her dream. She read of how Melinda had been born with three powers. The power to move things with her mind, the power to freeze time, and the power to see into the future. That must be handy, Paige thought. She read about a warliock, did those things exist. This was a handy storybook she thought. The warlock Matthew Tate whom Melinda had fallen in love with but who had exposed her as a witch, before her eyes felt heavy and that was the last thing she remembered.
"We have to find her."
"We could just go to Social Services."
"And say what Phoebe, we don't even know who or what she is."
"Um, guys," Piper added, noticing a girl in the beanbag chair.
"Well, we could come up with something, Prue. It doesn't have to always be one of your plans does it?"
"Guys,"
"Well, if you had a plan that made any sense..."
"Guys.." Piper tried again.
"Oh, so that's how you really feel. All your plans are perfect and mine are stupid."
"I didn't say that, Phoebe."
"Guys, I think that's Paige," Piper finally got in, and both her sisters stared as Paige screamed and dissappeared only to reappear.
"Freeze her." Piper tried.
"She's not freezing."
"How did I get here?" Paige asked, more than a little freaked.
"Are you a whitelighter?" Piper asked her.
"That's crazy," Phoebe added, "whitelighters freeze. Remember when you and Leo first got together and you were freezing him during all the good parts."
"Phoebe."
"Well, you did," Phoebe countered her sister.
"Well, Paige, what are you?" Prue asked her, "And why did you orb here?"
"Orb? I don't even know what that means!" Paige screamed, a little hysterical. All of a sudden, Paige fainted.
"What do we do now?" asked Phoebe.
"Prue, can you move her on the sofa?" Piper asked her sister.
"I just hope she doesn't come to," Prue stated. "I guess it's a good thing I quit my job. Piper, you have to go to work, you are the only income in the house right now.
"Let me know what happens with Paige," Piper stated as she left to get ready for work, leaving Prue and Phoebe to figure out who and what Paige was and why she had orbed into their house. It was a shame Leo had recently clipped his wings.
