Chapter 31

"That was one of my powers," Paige said.

"Your what?" Prue asked.

"My powers, I'm a witch. You're ones too. We descend from Melinda Warren," Paige said, "Grams was a witch and so was mom. My dad was a whitelighter, which is like a guardian angel for witches. I'm half whitelighter which is why I can orb." She orbed to the other side of the room then orbed back.

"So you're saying that we're all witches?" Prue asked.

"Charmed Ones actually, Melinda prophesized that there would be four witches. We protect innocents from demons. We brew potions, write spells, and use our powers for good."

"Wait, that explosion that happened over the summer that was because of a potion?" I asked as something clicked.

"Yeah, it was an accident. I didn't know it'd be that strong. I didn't burn myself. I glamoured it," she said.

"What do you mean by that?" Prue asked.

"Let me show you," Paige said. Her hair, a normal dark brown turned blonde, then her eyes blue. She changed back.

"I can do that because I'm half whitelighter. I can brew potions but I can't cast spells. That includes summoning, vanquishing, personal gain, which I wouldn't do because that has consequences."

"What do you mean by vanquishing? Vanquishing who?" I asked.

"Well vanquishing demons. You can vanquish demons with powers, potions, and spells. You can also use an athame," she said.

"Demons? Paige, please tell me you haven't come up to any demons," Prue said.

"Uh, just a few, they're both dead though. I can show you," Paige said. She flipped through the book.

"What is this?" I asked looking at the cover.

"Book of Shadows, it contains information about our line," Paige said showing us. I sat on her right, Prue sat on her left and Phoebe stood behind. She continued flipping the pages.

"There's info in here about creatures from the magical community, like witches, fairies, demons," Paige said, "There are vanquishing spells and potions, summoning spells, there's the truth spell which I'm pretty sure can be made into a potion. This spell though," she motioned to one of the first pages, "is the spell we use to summon our powers."

"I don't understand; why don't we have powers now? Why don't we know we're witches?" I asked.

"Grams bound our powers, she was talking to mom about binding them forever before she passed," Paige said.

"Talking to mom?" Prue asked.

"Grams summoned her. They- they were talking in the attic, that's not just how I found out about how we're witches but how I found out Grams was dead," she said, "I saw them as ghosts in the attic. Tonight's supposed to be a full moon, which is the best time to summon our powers."

"So what you're saying is that we're the Charmed Ones and we fight demons?" I asked.

"Yes," she said.

"She's telling the truth. I knew about this but I didn't know she was fighting demons till recently," Phoebe said, "Sam didn't drown the other night. Paige went to fight a demon, he saved her life."

"So you went to fight a demon, by yourself? Paige you're sixteen!" Prue said getting angry.

"You don't understand," Paige said.

"I think I do, Paige, you're putting yourself in danger. What if you were killed and we didn't know it was a demon that killed you?"

"Prue! This demon," she said flipping through the book, landing on a page about a water demon, "didn't just kill my dad! He killed mom! I went to kill it because the camp was opening. I couldn't let it take anymore lives! But I failed!" Her voice cracked, "Don't you see? It's our job to protect innocents." I pulled Paige into a hug.

"So you knew?" Prue asked Phoebe.

"Yeah, I didn't believe her at first. When she tried getting into the attic, the door glowed and she was thrown back. Then I heard Grams and Sam talking. The only reason I don't want to be a witch is because Paige is putting herself in danger. The only reason I didn't tell you was because I knew you wouldn't believe me," Phoebe said.

"Why wouldn't I have believed you? I knew that she was hiding something."

"Think about it. When I told you about what really happened with Roger, you didn't believe me," she said. Prue was quiet for a long moment and Paige let go of me.

"Phoebe, I'm so sorry," Prue said. Phoebe smiled and tears spilled out. Prue got up and hugged her.

"So I'll chant this spell tonight," Paige said.

"Paige just because Phoebe and I made up doesn't mean we're going to be the Charmed Ones. I don't care if it's our destiny, we're not witches," Prue said.

"The only reason you know I'm your sister, the only reason I'm probably alive is because that we're supposed to be the Charmed Ones!"

"Paige, what are you talking about?" I asked.

"I'm half- whitelighter, half- witch. I'm not allowed, I'm forbidden! Mom's and my dad's love wasn't allowed. I'm not allowed to even be alive. The only reason I am is because I'm needed for the Power of Four! If we bind our powers forever, I could be taken away," she said.

"Paige you aren't going to be taken away," I said.

"You won't know, they'll wipe your memories, they'll wipe mine. I'll probably me mortal and if we somehow find each other it won't be the same. I'll really be the odd one out," she said.

"Who are they?" I asked.

"The Elders," she said, "I don't know a lot about them."

"Paige, we need to talk about this first. Number one you hid this from us. You fought demons and put yourself in danger," Prue said.

"I didn't mean to put myself in danger! I found these demons by accident," she said.

"Wait a minute, is the reason you and Glen aren't friends anymore because of this?" I asked.

"Yeah, he crashed his car and I orbed us out right before, he doesn't like the fact that I deal with demons. Once we have our powers I won't be going to Baker anymore."

"What is there like a school for witches?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah, there is," Paige said.

Paige's POV

Just then a demon flashed in. He threw fireballs at us and we all ducked in time. I grabbed one of my potions and threw it at him. All it did was create smoke.

"Damn it! That was my strongest potion," I said.

"No talking, Paige, get our powers now!" Phoebe said.

"Grab my hands," I said. I orbed us and the book to the attic.
