Congratulations to WyaRose! Who got the answer correct, it was the spirit board. Every few chapters I'll include a question, the 1st to answer correct will get the next chapter early.
"Paige!" Phoebe called, heading up the stairs. Just like Paige she stopped in the entryway of their shared bedroom. Prue and Piper sat down on the couch chatting about why Prue had gone to Phoebe's school in the first place.
"What is this?" Paige asked her voice quivering.
"It's nothing you um ah," Phoebe said.
"I need to worry about? G-D you're turning into them, what the hell happened to you?" Paige asked, yelling.
"It's not what you think," Phoebe said.
"You were going to leave weren't you? Without me, is it because I'm the youngest or is it because I'm the half-sister?" Paige asked her voice rising higher and higher, anger showing in her face.
"Paige, no I-," Phoebe said trying to explain. Piper and Prue heard the fighting and her running up the steps.
"No, I don't want to hear it," Paige spat, running into the bathroom tears streaming down her face; she pushed past Prue and Piper, locking the door.
"Phoebe, what the hell happened?" Prue asked.
"She uh, she saw the suitcases," Phoebe said.
"Suitcases? What suitcases?" Piper asked.
"I forgot to tell you, Phoebe's moving to New York," Prue said smirking.
"What?" Piper said.
"I'm moving, I have my reasons," Phoebe said. Squinting her eyes at Prue, remembering their fight earlier.
"And what reason would those be?" Piper asked, her voice sounding strangely like Prue's.
"Let's see it could be the fact the one of our sister's accused me of hitting on her fiancé!" Phoebe screeched turning round, going into her room, slamming the door in the elder sisters faces.
"Great!" Piper said, "Tell me more about that car ride." She and Prue headed toward Piper's room.
Paige sat in the tub, her face red from tear streaks. I can't believe Phoebe is leaving without me, Paige thought. Paige fingered the locket around her neck. She took it off her neck and looked at the front of it. Paige was engraved on the front, just like her mom's was. She quickly turned the locket around, but to her dismay there was no symbol but two words, The Bond. What the hell does that mean? She clasped the necklace around her neck. That must mean that my other sisters have lockets similar to mine. Paige wiped away the tears and put on fresh mascara, and fixed her hair as she left the bathroom. She checked the hallway clock, it wasn't even noon yet. It was going to be a long day.
Phoebe heard the bedroom door open as Paige stepped through. She looked up.
"Paige, please let me explain," Phoebe begged.
"Why should I?" Paige said cooly.
"Because Paige it's not what you think, I'm not leaving because of you being my half-sister," Phoebe said, Paige looked at the floor.
"I don't care about that, you are still my sister half or not," Phoebe said.
"Then why are you leaving?" Paige asked.
"I um I think I found dad, my dad that is and-," Phoebe said.
"So, it is about me," Paige said her voice rising once more.
"No! Look Paige, you-you already found your dad, what about me? Why didn't you tell me about you being my half-sister?" Phoebe asked her voice rising like Paige's. Paige sat down on her bed and put her head on her knees.
"I didn't want to be treated more different than I already am, like the baby, overprotected, sheltered, ignored," Paige said her voice getting quieter.
"Prue would've have coddled me and thought I was upset about it, Piper would try to find a way to include me in everything, and you, I thought you'd be more distant, you're always going to parties who wants the half-breed to tag along, I'd just cramp your style," Paige said. Phoebe was shocked and hurt that her sister thought all this, but she saw her little sister's pain. She saw the desperation to be included to be an equal but an individual at the same time.
"Paige, I had no idea," Phoebe said.
"'Course you didn't, no one does I'm best a keeping my feelings hidden, I don't want to be coddled more than I am, I'm sick and tired of it," Paige said.
"How could you think any of that though?" Phoebe questioned "We're your sisters not strangers."
"Phoebe I hardly know the real Prue, she's more of a mother than a sister to me, I didn't see too much of Piper, she was either in her room or in the kitchen growing up. You are the only one I knew, but you changed, just like everybody," Paige said disgust in her voice.
"Paige, please you have to understand that-," Phoebe said.
"That what? That everyone changes? That we're still sisters no matter what?" Phoebe said.
"That I love you, we all do and we'll listen to what you have to say, I did, about the magic," Phoebe said going over to sit next to Paige.
"Really? You believe me? But you're going to leave for New York, while I'm stuck here in the house of horrors of a family, don't leave me please!" Paige pleaded.
"Oh come on, our family isn't that bad," Phoebe said.
"I guess that was kind of harsh but I can't talk to them about magic," Paige said.
"Okay, but you can talk to me over the phone and we have time now," Phoebe said.
"Wait you found something out?" Paige asked.
"Yeah, um Sam, your dad was talking to Grams outside the hospital and he said something about you being a whitelighter," Phoebe said, only telling part of the truth.
"What else?"
"Our destiny is to help the Greater Good, and like you said, they said something about our powers being bound," Phoebe said. Paige nodded processing the new information.
"Okay well I found something too," Paige said reaching into her pocket.
"I found this," Paige said, pulling out the key to the attic, "Oh and give me your locket."
"Why?" Phoebe asked, taking her locket off, still looking at the key.
"I'll show you," Paige said, she turned Phoebe's locket over. On the back it said of Sisters. Paige held her necklace next to Phoebe's.
"The Bond of Sisters," Paige said. Phoebe inched over closer and read the necklace.
"What does it mean? Do Prue and Piper have stuff written on their lockets too? How did you find out about the lockets?"
"Um, I sorta a snooped in Grams' room and found Mom's locket it had some symbol- I've seen it somewhere I know I have," paige said.
"You snooped in Grams' room? Ohh I'm soo proud!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"Wait, I thought you didn't want me to be like you," Paige said.
"Yeah but snooping never hurt anyone, and you didn't get caught extra points for you," Phoebe said hugging Paige.
"Hand me a piece of paper and a pen I'm going to draw that symbol," Paige said. She quickly drew the symbol on the paper.
"I know that symbol!" Phoebe said, "It's on the Spirit board! The one we played with when we were younger."
"Prue what happened in your car?" Piper asked.
"I told Phoebe what Roger said, she denied it of course," Prue said sighing.
"Do you know what you are going to do?" asked Piper.
"I'm going to break off the engagement," Prue sighed.
"Prue is that really what you want to do?" asked Piper.
"What else can I do? Phoebe wanted to sleep with him," said Prue.
"You need to finish talking to her that's what, and Grams will want to know too."
"Ugh, I don't know who'd I'd rather tell," Prue groaned.
"Well you'll have to do it sooner or later," Piper said. The sisters heard Prue and Paige in their shared bedroom, each of their voices rising.
"Well at least Paige is out of the bathroom, I'll go tell Grams," Prue said.
