"Paige!" Phoebe said, "You're alive."
"I was never dead," she said and Phoebe pulled her into a hug, "But I can't breathe so I may be soon." Phoebe released her and her eyes went to what was scattered on the floor.
"Why are you looking through my things?" she asked her eyes widening.
"Why are you leaving when you're grounded?" Phoebe asked. Paige snorted.
"I don't really think you should be able to ask that Phoebe," Paige said.
"Fine I'm asking it then," Piper said, "Why'd you leave."
"To find answers to questions that I needed answered," Paige said, "I'm back now and I want to know why you are going through my things."
"You left them on your bed," Phoebe pointed out.
"They were under my covers, what you did was snoop," Paige pointed out.
"And now that we have, we need to talk. What exactly is all this?" Piper asked.
"It's from my dad's cabin," she said, "There's an athame, which used to actually be moms'."
"I thought only demons had them."
"It was originally a demon's, she had it just in case," Paige said, "Some of these are potions I have yet to master, some letters, and a picture of them with me. A plan mom had written out to kill the water demon. Oh and this," she picked up gold chain which at the end had a light green droplet shaped stone, "Is a protection stone. My dad bought it for me and mom enchanted it, she was going to bring it back home and give it to me but…"
"Why don't you wear it?" Paige opened her mouth but heard something downstairs. She orbed as her sisters ran down the stairs.
Piper froze the Darklighter and his arrow which was in the air. Paige had orbed out and was now next to Piper.
"Are you okay?"
"Fine, unfreeze him," she said.
"No," she said.
"I've got to vanquish him, unfreeze him," she said, "Do it now or he'll do it by himself." Piper frowned and unfroze him. Paige then shot a jet of orbs at him. He exploded and Phoebe knelt down to pick up the arrow.
"Paige, what the Hell was that?!" Phoebe asked.
"It's not exactly my fault demons are coming after me. Sure I'm killing their demon buddies but I'm the good guy," she said, "Get that away from me."
"So why don't you wear the necklace?" Piper asked glancing at the chain which was now wrapped around her wrist.
"Because it didn't work for mom," she said.
"Yet it worked for you," Phoebe said and took the necklace from Paige. She unlatched the clasp and latched it again around her sister's neck.
"She wanted you to have it," Phoebe said knowing that Paige remembered their mom the least of them all, Grams rarely said much and Prue avoided their mom entirely.
"Protection amulets, spells, potions, they don't really work," Paige said, "It's just a jewel."
"But mom bought it for you," Piper said.
"What's your point? If mom really cared Piper she wouldn't have gone after that demon," Paige said.
"You've gone after several demons," Piper said, "How is that any different from what mom did?" Paige didn't reply.
"Paige, you've got to stop going after demons without us. It's dangerous," Piper said.
"Don't you think I know that it's dangerous? Piper, I saw my dad die because of one. I've seen several people die because of them. I've been attacked by demons, I know what they can do but it's not going to stop me. We're the Charmed Ones, if there is an innocent in trouble then it's our job to go and protect them. Apparently I'm the only one that gets that." Paige left them standing there speechless as she went upstairs.
"What do we do?" Piper asked.
"We fight along her, as sisters and as witches," Phoebe said, "She's right, we're the Charmed Ones. There's no changing that."
