Chapter 7
"Paige are you okay? Did you hit your head earlier when you sneaked out?" Phoebe asked.
"No, I did not hit my head," Paige said, "Phoebe we're witches I heard Mom say so to Grams."
"Now I'm really sure you hit your head, Paige Mom's dead," Phoebe said feeling Paige's head for a bump. Before she felt her forehead for a fever, Paige pushed Phoebe's hand away.
"Phoebe I didn't hit my head and I don't have a fever," Paige said, "I heard Grams talking to Mom about us in the attic."
"But Paige the attic's," Phoebe started to say.
"Been locked, I know but Phoebe I know what I heard," Paige said.
"Paige, it could've been a dream," Phoebe said.
"It wasn't a dream! It was real, please believe me," Paige said.
"Paige, are you sure you're okay?" Phoebe asked, more worried than ever, she started to reach for Paige's forehead. Paige swatted her hand away.
"I'll prove it, follow me," Paige said, getting ready to go up to the attic. Phoebe followed Paige, sure that she was sick. Paige took out a paperclip with string on it.
"Paige, what are you doing!"Phoebe asked.
"Picking the lock, Glenn showed me how." Phoebe stood next to Paige as she worked on the lock. The door lit up a bright amber color as Paige flew back into the wall, knocked unconscious.
"Paige!" Phoebe exclaimed as she ran to her little sister. Phoebe as seen the door light up, maybe Paige was right.
"Grams, we found out what was wrong with Paige," Piper said as she entered the living room. Grams thought Paige could have told them about what happened in the attic. She knew that the sisters would think Paige could've hit her head or something else.
"She's anorexic," Prue said as she entered the living room, sitting next to Piper on the couch.
"She's what?" Grams said, making sure she heard right.
"She's anorexic," Piper said, repeating what Prue had said.
"Okay, well there are doctors we can take Paige to, to help her," Grams said, "One of you will have to take her once school ends."
"Anything to help her," Piper said.
"There is something else you need to know," Grams said.
"What is it?" Prue asked.
"Paige is your half-sister," Grams said.
"What?" Piper asked. Before anyone could continue they heard a large bang upstairs near the attic.
"Girls?" Grams called walking up the attic stairs. Phoebe had checked Paige's head, there was no blood thank G-D.
"Paige, Paige wake up come on," Phoebe said shaking her little sister. Grams saw Paige and gasped, Phoebe turned around.
"Phoebe what happened?" Prue asked, "What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything! Why do you assume I always do something?" Phoebe yelled.
"Probably because you always do," Prue said.
"Girls, be quiet! Can one of you help Paige get to the car?" Grams yelled. Prue picked up Paige and Piper went to unlock the car.
"Grams what's in the attic? I saw the door light up," Phoebe asked.
"You probably just imagined it," Grams said putting her hand on Phoebe's back guiding her downstairs. Phoebe would've pushed it but they had to get to the hospital. She knew when Paige would wake up she would freak out. Paige hated hospitals the most out of all the Halliwells.
The sisters waited in the waiting room, while Grams was with Paige.
"Phoebe what were you and Paige doing upstairs by the attic?" Prue asked.
"We were trying to open the door by picking the lock, Prue there's something up there," Phoebe said.
"Yes probably some dusty storage boxes, nothing interesting, don't go up there again ever," Prue said.
"Prue you aren't the boss of me I'm eighteen," Phoebe said.
"Grams," Piper said, as Grams entered the waiting room, "Is she okay?"
"She has a mild concussion, they want to keep her here overnight," Grams said.
"Is she awake?" Prue asked.
"Yes, but they only want one family member in there at a time, go ahead Prue," Grams said, Prue stood up and walked into Paige's room. Paige's face was pale, and her breaths were uneven. Prue rushed over to her sister.
"Paige,"Prue said, laying her hand on the top of Paige's head.
"Prue," Paige whispered.
"How you doin kiddo?" Prue asked.
"Don't call me that," Paige said.
"Fine, how are you Paige?"Prue said.
"My head hurts, what happened? The last thing I remember is trying to get into the attic and that's it," Paige said, she took in her surroundings and freaked out, "Prue what am I doing here? Let me out of here," Paige said, kicking her legs and starting to sit up as she felt a rush of pain and gasped. Prue pushed Paige down, Paige tried to ignore the pain and get out of bed but Prue was stronger and held her down.
"Prue, let-let me go," Paige gasped out.
"No, never," Prue said with a kind voice. Paige started to cry, she tried to stop, and she hated crying especially in front of people.
"Shhh, it's going to be ok,"Prue said rubbing Paige's head.
"No, it's not, all I want is to stop being treated like a child Prue, I'm sixteen," Paige said.
"But you are a-"Prue started to say.
"No Prue I'm not, I'm sixteen I'm old enough to make my own decisions," Paige said, "Can you get Phoebe?"
"Sure," Prue said standing up, realizing she wasn't needed. Phoebe walked in and rushed to Paige's side.
"Phoebe!" Paige said smiling.
"Hi, Paige, I'm so glad you're okay," Phoebe said.
"What happened?" Paige asked.
"The attic door, it lit up and you flew backwards," Phoebe said.
"Do you believe me now?" Paige asked
"Yes I do," Phoebe said, "But why don't we have powers?"
"I heard them, Mom and Grams, talking about bounding our powers forever," she said, "Mom was against it though."
"Okay, but that doesn't exactly explain the door," Phoebe said.
"Grams must have put some spell on it, she must be a witch," Paige said. Before anyone could continue Piper entered the room. Phoebe got up and left the room.
"Hi," Piper said.
"Hi," Paige said, she and Piper weren't really close.
"Paige, everyone was worried about you," Piper said.
"Oh," Paige said.
"Paige, you need to be careful," Piper said putting her hand on Paige's hand. Paige didn't move away like she usually did.
"I am careful, I've been going to the beach and I've been fine," Paige said.
"Yes but you could have been hurt," Piper said.
"But I wasn't, I shouldn't even be here," Paige said looking around the room with disgust.
"You're here for your own safety, Paige you weren't just slammed into the wall you're anorexic," Piper said, "I want you to live."
"I'm safe at home," Paige said.
"Paige you somehow got a concussion when you were at home," Piper replied more sternly.
"Maybe Prue can talk some sense into you," Piper said leaving the room. Prue entered the room a second time. Paige turned on her side, her back facing Prue.
"Paige, Piper's right you're safer here, for now anyway," Prue said," You're staying here overnight."
"What? No, no I am not staying here overnight," Paige said, she swung her legs over the edge of the bed and sat up.
"Paige yes you are," Prue said.
"No," Paige said standing up; she grabbed the pole next to her to steady herself.
"Paige get back in that bed," Prue ordered trying to push Paige back on the bed. Paige held as strong as she could considering that the room was spinning.
"No, I want to go home," Paige said. A tall man entered the room.
"Who are you?" Prue asked.
"Daddy!" Paige said, her eyes lit up and a smile appeared. Prue stayed where she was. Grams entered the room.
"Sam!" She called.
"Penny, I think I have a right to see my own daughter," he said slipping around Prue and faced Paige. Paige let go of the pole and wrapped her arms around Sam, hugging him. He laughed.
"Paige what have you gotten yourself into?" he asked.
So Prue and Piper know that Paige is their half-sister and Phoebe believes Paige about them being witches. How will Prue react to Sam? Or Phoebe, or Piper how will they react?
