Chapter 36

The next week passed slowly. There were no demon attacks and no talks of demons. Piper happily secured an interview at a new restaurant, Quake; Phoebe was finishing up and tying loose ends up in New York. Prue had kept an eye on Paige when she could as she continued working at the museum. Paige when out of sight of her sisters, meaning lunch, would research more on the warlock. One evening Paige sat with Leo on the bridge.

"This warlock has killed two witches now Leo. I have to do something," she said.

"Paige, you shouldn't be doing this alone," he said.

"Well my sisters won't help me," she said, "I know who he is going to attack next and when."

"Paige, I really don't think you should do this," he said.

"Leo, I'm not going to let another innocent die! I may not be able to kill him but I can slow him down, then my sisters and I will kill him," she said, "I have to get back, Piper will have dinner ready soon." Before he could say another word she orbed out.

"Paige dinner's ready!" Piper called up. She sat down at the dinner table.

"So Paige how was school?" Prue asked in Latin.

"Fine," she replied in Latin.

"Back to English please," Phoebe said who always returned for dinner with the family, "So, what are we doing this weekend?" Well I'll most likely be grounded Paige thought.

"We could go see a movie downtown," Piper suggested.

"How about Ever After? It's some new Cinderella version," Piper said.

"Yes, we should go see that!" Phoebe said, Cinderella was her favorite princess story.

"Paige what do you think?" Prue asked.

"Sure," she said taking a bite of my lasagna.

"Okay, then Saturday night," Prue said, "Paige have you finished your homework?"

"Yup," Paige lied. She had spent most of the afternoon and evening researching the demon and talking to Leo. They had talked about Magic School and she hoped to start soon, maybe in a few days. She quickly finished her meal.

"I'm going to go take a shower then go to bed," she said when instead of going to bed she was going to finish her homework.

Paige's POV

"Okay, lights out at ten," Prue said. Yeah right, I'd be up till one finishing my homework. I had Leo get me some books from Magic School. Just so I could start my classes actually knowing something. I took my shower then started working on homework.

Most of it was done by ten but I still had some to do. I hid my books under my bed and turned the lights off. I closed my eyes as I heard the door open. Then it closed and I waited for about fifteen minutes and I got up, turned on my lamp and finished my homework. Then I started on my Magic School homework, which took me several hours longer than I thought it would. I got to bed around two in the morning.

I downed my whole cup of coffee in the morning.

"Paige what time did you get to sleep last night?" Prue asked.

"I fell asleep around 10:30," I lied.

"You didn't orb off to some party did you?" she asked.

"No, for one it was Wednesday night and two I don't go to parties," I said. Prue narrowed her eyes. We were still on edge about the whole 'keeping magic a secret' thing.

"You went to that party about two weeks ago," she said.

"Yeah and I had to orb out for safety reasons," I said grabbing a piece of toast, "I'm not going to any parties soon."

"You downed that cup of coffee in seconds Paige," Prue said.

"Just because I fell asleep around 10:30 doesn't mean I slept well Prue. I'm allowed to have an off night," I snapped, "I'm orbing to school." I got up and went to my room and grabbed my school bag and warlock vanquishing supplies. I ran back downstairs.

"I'll be home late, art club meets today," I said, "Don't wait up." Before any of my sisters could say anything I orbed to my school.

"She's hiding something," Prue said.

"She's sixteen Prue, she's moody," Piper said.

"Moody or not I'm going to check out her room."

"And when she finds out?" Piper asked.

"She's not supposed to keep secrets," Prue said.

"Like you didn't when you were her age?" Piper asked.

"I was going around with boys not demons, there's a difference," Prue said heading upstairs.

"Difference or not you have to give her some space," Piper said.

"Piper, she lied to us for months! She doesn't deserve privacy right now," Prue said.

"I still don't think you should go through her stuff," Piper said.

"I'm going to anyway," Prue said as she entered Paige's and Phoebe's room. She bent down and pulled two boxes out of the bed. They were both locked.

"Why would Paige have two lock boxes under her bed?" Piper asked.

"I don't know but we're gonna find out." Prue said putting the boxes under the bed.

Paige's POV

I decided to leave after lunch. I had told my teacher in advance and handed in the homework too.

"Top of class Paige, just like Prue," she said. I groaned inwardly when she had compared me to her. Then she asked me why I wouldn't be in class.

"Oh, it's just something with my aunt Serena," I said.

"I didn't know Patty had a sister," she said.

"She didn't, she's from my dad's side," I said. Before she could reply the late bell had rang.

"Here's a pass, I'll see you tomorrow," she said. I smiled and headed to Language Arts. Now Prue wouldn't find out at least not for a while. At lunch I orbed to Serena's apartment building and I found her apartment number. I knocked on the door. There was no answer. Of course there wasn't an answer, it was lunchtime. I did hear a cat or two though.

"Coming," I heard a voice.

"Hi, who are you?" she asked when she opened the door.

"I- I'm your whitelighter," I said.

"Whitelighter?" she asked.

"Look I don't have a lot of time to explain but there's a warlock after you," I said smelling smoke.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"I know you're a witch and I'm here to help you. I don't know who he is but he's coming here tonight," I explained. She shook her head and was about to close the door.

"Wait! I can prove it!" I said. I orbed into her living room close to a circle of candles.

"Look," she paused.

"Paige, Paige Halliwell," I said.

"Look Paige, I'm not going to be attacked by a warlock. Even if I was I have powers to protect myself," she said.

"This warlock has killed two other witches," I said, "They all had powers just like you did Serena. This warlock is going to kill you."

"I know that Paige, that's why I'm casting a protection spell," she said guiding me toward the door. Then the door flew open and Serena and I fell to the ground.

"Believe me now that he's after you?" I asked as we stood up.

"Two witches for the price of one," I heard the warlock say then I saw his face.

"Jeremy?" I asked stunned.

"You know him too?" she asked.

"He my sister's fiancé," I said then I saw him pull out a couple of athames. I threw the potion at him, it didn't even faze him and I couldn't orb.

"I can't orb," I said panicking. That meant Leo couldn't help either.

"I cast anti orbing spells all around here," he said laughing and lunged toward us and I threw my hands out. Jets of orbs were released and he flew backwards. I looked down at amazement.

"How'd you do that?"

"I uh I'm sort of a witch too," I said and Jeremy got up. Serena pushed me behind her and I heard her scream as the athame went into her stomach. She fell to the ground.

"No!" I cried. She was my innocent. I shot a jet of orbs at Jeremy but he merely dodged them.

"What's going on in there?" I heard a man ask from the hallway. Jeremy shimmered out as the man entered her apartment. He dialed 911. Serena was gone and Jeremy was a warlock. I had to tell Piper. I heard sirens outside, I had to leave now. I slipped past the man and bumped into a police officer.

"Sorry miss," he said. I looked up.

"Andy?" I asked. Crap, why did I just say that?

"Paige? Paige Halliwell? The last time I saw you, you were just a kid. What are you doing here?"

"Uh," I said trying to think of a reason, "Visiting my aunt. I gotta go." I stepped away from him and left the building. I had to find Piper. I took out my emergency cell phone and dialed her number.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Piper it's Paige," I said.

"Paige, aren't you supposed to be in school?" she asked.

"Look no time for that. Your fiancé is a warlock," I said, "Get to the Book of Shadows and look up some other spell for a warlock, he knows we're witches."

"Paige you're being ridiculous," she said.

"No I'm not he just tried to kill me Piper!"

"After this interview I will," she said hanging up. I orbed to Phoebe's apartment.

"Phoebe!" I called out.

"Paige?" she asked coming out of her room.

"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" she asked.

"I went to fight a warlock who uh turned out to be Jeremy!"

"Jeremy as in Piper's fiancé?" she asked.

"Yeah, he killed the witch I was trying to protect," I said, "My potion didn't work and I couldn't orb. But I can now; we have to get back to the Manor." Before I gave Phoebe a chance to reply I orbed home.

"Look in the Book of Shadows, I'm going to get Prue," I said. I orbed to the museum and Prue was storming out.

"Prue!" I called out.

"Paige what are you doing here?" she asked.

"No time to explain, we have to get to the Manor," I said dragging her out of the building. She wrenched away from me.

"Why aren't you in school?" she asked.

"Because I went after a warlock," I said.

"You what?" she asked her eyes narrowing, her tone dangerous.

"I was trying to save an innocent," I said remembering Serena's scream, "I couldn't save her. I know who the warlock is though."

"We aren't going after this warlock Paige," she said.

"Yes we are, because he's going to come after us," I said.

"Only because you went after him first Paige! You're the reason we're in this mess!"

"It's Jeremy," I said trying to hide how hurt I was by her comment.

"What?" Prue asked.

"Jeremy's the warlock! He tried to kill me; he'll try to kill all of us!" Some people were giving us weird looks. Prue dragged me to her car.

"Paige, what is wrong with you? Making up accusations about Piper's fiancé? She loves him."

"You don't believe me," I said backing away from her hurt.

"Paige, no wait," Prue said as she saw tears fall. I turned away and bumped into someone and fell to the ground. I looked up and nearly screamed.
