Author's Note:
The answer was the basement. Since the person who answered correctly won't PM back a new contest will be held soon. Sorry for not updating, I've been working on my other story Summoning Prue. Kiela thank you for your advice and I agree with you too. I do sometimes rush on chapters and I'm working to stop that. Also with the details, I'm afraid I'll overdo it, I've seen some authors who give way too much detail and I get bored just trying to finish the chapter. Also the grammer I am working on. That's what we are working on in LA now. So that'll help my writing. I'll try to get a new chapter out for this story once a week or every other week. My other story Summoning Prue, there'll be possibly two chapters a week. I'm ΒΌ way through the school year, last week was crazy I got all of these tests dumped on me. I do have a poll on my profile so feel free to vote! Thanks for all the reviews! Anyway on with Chapter 16!
"Paige," Prue said sternly.
"I was just spooked that's all," Paige said shrugging.
"Last time I checked, you weren't easily spooked," Prue said.
"Fine then, it was a reflex, I hear a noise unexpectedly I jump, okay?" Paige said getting a little angry.
"Yeah, but you gasped, like for air," Prue retaliated.
"But I didn't cough," Paige said back.
"Will you stop it? Let's get back to the manner at hand, before there was a knock at the door," Piper said.
"The mental hospital nightmare," Phoebe said, trying to get Prue off the topic of Paige doing something related to magic. She thought about asking Paige later but decided against it, the less she knew the better.
"I didn't say I was in a mental hospital," Paige said, fear leaving her eyes. The emotion of anger stayed in her eyes but only for the moment.
"Then what did happen in that nightmare?" Prue asked, who was still kneeling down in front of Paige.
"As I said before, I'm not going to answer," Paige said.
"If it wasn't a mental hospital, then why should you have trouble telling us?" Prue asked. She saw defeat flash in her sister's eyes.
"I-I can't," Paige said in a whisper.
Why not?" Prue asked concerned.
"I just can't," she said.
"Why?" Piper said.
"Why what?" Paige asked acting innocent, the anger disappearing.
"Paige, please don't play these games. We just want to help you," Prue said.
"I'm not playing any games," Paige said.
"Paige," said Phoebe, "Please stop, just tell them the truth."
"Phoebe, I don't know what you're talking about," Paige said becoming nervous.
"What are you hiding Paige? It's okay to tell us," Prue said taking hold of her sister's hands.
"I can't," Paige said her voice cracking, tears sliding down her face.
"Come here sweetie," Prue said hugging Paige.
"It was," Paige said through sobs.
"It was what sweetie?" Prue asked.
"It was about a mental hospital," Phoebe said answering Prue's question. Paige didn't say anything. She nodded in agreement though.
"Paige, why would you be there? Why would we put you there?" Prue asked.
"I-I can't, I'm sorry but I just can't," Paige said sniffing.
"Paige we can help you," Piper said, kneeling besides Prue. She had pulled out of her sister's hug and was sitting on the bed with her head on her knees holding her legs. Grams knocked on the door and let herself in. She was surprised to find all of her granddaughters in the same room. She was even more surprised that they weren't fighting.
"Hi Grams," Piper said standing up, "Who was that at the door?"
"Your Aunt Gail, she's just helping me move my stuff to her house before I leave, then I'm going to another doctor's appointment- are you okay in here?" Grams asked.
"We're fine Grams, just go, we'll be fine," Phoebe said rushing her grandmother out the door. Grams thought of arguing but decided against it. Her granddaughters were getting along for once, even if they all were just caring about Paige. It was just like the prophecy said the youngest will bond them together.
"Okay, well I'll be back this evening," she said leaving.
"Back to our conversation, why can't you tell us, Paige?" Prue asked.
"I can't, okay?" Paige said her voice rising slightly.
"Paige, we just want to help," Prue said.
"I don't need your help, or anyone's help," Paige said. She started to stand up but Prue pushed her down.
"Paige you're getting our help whether you want it or not! We're your sisters," Prue said.
"I won't accept your help," Paige said.
"Paige, you need it, look if you tell us what more you are hiding then we'll leave you alone," Prue said.
"Yeah right! If my dream was right then you'll send me to," Paige abruptly shut her mouth, worried that she had said too much.
"That if you tell us, what you know, we'll send you to that mental hospital?" Prue asked.
"Can I just have some time alone, please?" Paige asked. She lied down turning to face the wall.
"Paige, it's okay to tell us," Piper said.
"Please," Paige said.
"Paige, we are not going to leave you here, not like this," Prue said. Prue looked at Piper. Phoebe noticed that her and Paige's lockets were on Paige's nightstand. Piper and Prue were both knelt down next to Paige's bed. She carefully removed Piper's locket. She thought of removing Prue's, but it was too risky.
"Phoebe can watch me, it's not like I'm going anywhere though," she said. Prue and Piper looked at Phoebe, who had her hands behind her back holding the locket.
"I'll watch her, why don't you and Piper go and make lunch or something?" Phoebe asked. Piper nodded dragging Prue along with her.
"Piper!" Prue said angrily, to her once they were in the kitchen.
"Look Prue, Paige won't open up to us. It'll be easier to open up to Phoebe, they're closer in age," Piper said.
"I just don't understand what Paige is hiding, in her nightmare she must have told us, and we thought she needed some mental help," Prue said.
"Maybe, but this nightmare terrified her Prue. You didn't see her after she woke up, she looked so heartbroken," Piper said.
"Did she say anything after she woke up?" Prue asked.
"Something about Grams," Piper said.
"When she gets back then we'll talk to her," Prue said, "So what do you think she's hiding? We already know she's our half-sister."
"You don't think that it's something Glenn did, do you?" Piper asked. Prue started to worry because of her own experience when she was seventeen.
"G-D, please no, Paige is only sixteen, we have to go back up and talk to her,' Prue said. She started heading toward the stairs but Piper stopped her.
"No Prue, look Phoebe can help her too, if she doesn't we'll ask her later," Piper said.
"But Piper," Prue said, "What if?"
"That's just it though Prue, it could just be an 'if', and we'll ask her later. Come on help me with lunch," she said. Prue helped her sister but it didn't take her mind off of Paige.
So no questions this chapter but maybe next chapter! Please review I'll have a new chapter hopefully this weekend if you would like me to continue this story! Don't forget the POLL on my profile!
