Happy Thanksgiving! Sorry it took me so long to update!
"Phoebe! Why did you have to call for Prue?" Paige asked.
"Well, you weren't telling me anything," Phoebe said.
"I had my reasons," Paige said.
"Yeah, well keeping secrets isn't exactly the safest thing when you have three sisters," Phoebe said.
"Yeah, well you're leaving, Prue is almost out the door," Paige said, "And I had a nightmare it wasn't some vision or premonition, I've already forgotten it."
"Then why won't you tell us?"
"You're leaving, why should it matter?"
"Look, if this had something to do with 'magic', I need to know. It matters because I care about you, even if it isn't related to magic," Phoebe said.
"Look, just forget about it, okay? Now I know you have Piper's locket, hand it over Miss- I don't – want- to- be-involved-with- magic," Paige said.
"Tell me what your nightmare was about first," Phoebe demanded.
"Give me the locket first," Paige said. Phoebe laughed at this.
"Then you won't tell me about your nightmare," Phoebe said, she held up the locket in the air, "You want this spill it."
"You were right I was in a mental hospital. End of story, give it," Paige said holding out her hand.
"Nope, I need details," Phoebe said.
"Prue put me there. Grams had died and we didn't get our powers. You had left, so I told Prue and Piper. They thought I was crazy but I'm not," Paige said.
"We possibly have some powers, Grams must have bound them for a reason though," Phoebe said.
"We'll figure that out later, give me her locket," Paige said. Phoebe handed her the locket. She grabbed the two other lockets from her nightstand and placed them next to each other.
"The Bond of Sisters is Stronger," Paige read out loud.
"Stronger than what?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't know, we need Prue's locket," Paige said.
"How exactly are supposed to get it? She's aware of everything 24/7," Phoebe asked.
"I don't know, but let's go to the attic first," Paige said.
"Paige, are you crazy? Don't you remember what happened last time?" Phoebe asked her voice rising.
"We'll just be more careful, we'll do it when Prue and Piper leave," Paige said.
"How 'bout not at all?" Phoebe suggested.
"Pheebs there's something up there, I just know it," Paige said.
"Yeah and whatever it is, it's meant to be kept hidden. We don't have magic in our life for a reason. Grams must have some reason why she hid magic from us. The inscriptions on the lockets, maybe they mean something, maybe they don't. Magic won't be in our life, we know that. Just drop it Paige, from what little we've experienced of it, magic isn't good," Phoebe said.
"Phoebe it's our destiny," Paige said, "I heard Grams and Mom say so."
"Paige maybe it's just you that has magic. You probably just dreamt that Grams and Mom were talking. Yes, I heard Grams talking to Sam. I know how he said we all have powers. Maybe it's just your destiny though. Or maybe it's all in our heads," Phoebe said.
"Phoebe how can you say that? You're just going to run away aren't you? Just like you always do," Paige said bitterly. Phoebe flinched.
"I'm not running away Paige. Our lives are already messed up, 'magic' if we have any will just screw it up more," Phoebe said.
"Phoebe if we don't have magic how do you explain what happened upstairs?" Paige asked.
"I can't okay? But that doesn't mean magic has anything to do with it," Phoebe said.
"Well what else explains it then?" Paige asked, "This house has been in the family for years yet the attic is locked, Grams hid the key from us. Why would she hide the key if there wasn't something to hide?"
"She's Grams, who the heck can understand her let alone anyone else in our family?" Phoebe asked, "Prue and Piper are gone most of the time, yet when something has happened BAM! They're there to see what's going on. They check in when something bad happens, they come to dinners but otherwise they don't come at all."
"When did this conversation become about Prue and Piper?" Paige asked, "We were talking about why Grams is hiding magic from us."
"Paige there are more important things than 'magic', like school and family. What's the possibility magic is real anyway?" Phoebe asked.
"You were supposed to understand. You're supposed to be the one I can turn to but I can see that's changed," Paige said. Paige grabbed her jacket.
"Paige, come one please I didn't-" Phoebe didn't get to finish as Paige raced out the room to the front door. Paige slipped out the door and just took off running.
"Paige!" Phoebe called going downstairs. Prue and Piper who had been in the kitchen talking rushed to the front entrance.
"What did you do?" Prue asked.
"I- ," Phoebe started to say but Piper cut her off.
"Right now that doesn't matter, we just need to find Paige, Prue check around the neighborhood, Phoebe call Paige's friends," Piper said. Piper preoccupied herself in the kitchen, making sure when Paige got home she would have a hot dinner waiting.
