Chapter 45

"It is three in the morning! This better be an emergency!" Paige said entering the Manor. Her sisters were in their pajama's also.

"Phoebe had a premonition," Prue said, "Of your death."

"You stayed up till three am and had a premonition?" Paige asked.

"No I was asleep and-," but Paige cut her off.

"It was just a nightmare!"

"This was different," Phoebe said, "I looked in the Book of Shadows and it said that it's a possibility."

"Pheebs, you just started having premonitions. It's still new!"

"Paige, we'll let you go back to bed but just listen," Phoebe said. Paige sighed and nodded. Phoebe said that Paige was holding a piece of paper and a potion bottle while walking into a deserted building. Phoebe said the demon was behind her when she died. Paige said she wouldn't go into any empty buildings alone.

"It was just a dream Phoebe, I'm going back to school." She went through the portal and left her sisters quiet in the Manor.

"Phoebe, you're sure it was a premonition?" Piper asked.

"Yes and even if it wasn't I don't want to take the chance." Prue said the next time Paige comes home they'd keep an eye on her.

Several hours later when the older sisters got up, the possible premonition was still in Phoebe's mind. She sat at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee glad that Paige was at Magic School, safe from any demon harm. Even though she was safe her little sister's scream echoed in her mind. Piper said, now after some more sleep, that Paige was probably right about it being a dream. Phoebe argued that she could feel it wasn't a dream.

Whether it was a dream or not Prue said they'd make sure Paige wouldn't leave there sight.


Paige told her new friends about why she left so early. Hadley solemnly said that Phoebe's dream could easily have been a premonition. Her power wasn't premonition but her older brother's was. She said he'd wake up screaming about a death or an attack. The possibility of the premonition coming true stopped when they killed the demon. Last year though his premonition was about her and she was sent to Magic School.

Melanie had been at Magic School her whole life. She goes home for three out of the four weekends each month. Melanie's power was telekinesis, the same as Prue's. That was the only similarity between them. Paige marveled at how different her roommates were from her sisters. All her life her roommates had been her sisters.

Sometimes she wondered what it would've been like if her parents had given her up. Would she be living in foster homes or would she have another set of parents? Any siblings or pets? Would she even be living in San Francisco? She questioned why she even thought this, she didn't have that life, and she never would.

Besides those thoughts in the back of her mind Paige was enjoying Magic School now. The weekend had passed and her sisters hadn't called her. She was getting the hang of her jets of orbs, or whatever they were called. She was heading to her lunch table with Hadley when she heard Phoebe's call.

"I've got to go, I'll see later," Paige said placing her food down and heading home.

"Where's the demon?"

"There is no demon. Piper has lunch."

"Oh," Paige said. Piper frowned and asked Paige is she really enjoyed school food to hers.

"No! I just thought it was a demon thing, that's all. What are we eating?"

"Spaghetti," Piper said. Paige began to get annoyed ten minutes into the meal. She asked her sisters what was going on. Prue said nothing was going on and they had wanted her home for lunch. Paige then asked why they were home for lunch. Phoebe said she had no classes and Piper said she had the day off. Prue said she was in-between jobs. There was an awkward silence then Paige asked about Phoebe's dream.

"We still think it's a premonition," Phoebe said, "I don't care if you think it was just a dream Paige. I want you safe."

"So keeping me from demon attacks is the right thing to do? If you haven't forgotten if it wasn't for me we wouldn't be witches. Phoebe would still be in New York and I would still be fighting demons by myself. Piper would probably be dead! You can't deny you've been keeping me in that school cause of demons. You don't want me to fight but something you need to be reminded is that we're the Power of Four not the Power of Three."

"Paige," Prue said her voice gentle, "We don't want to see you get hurt. You're our baby sister."

"Demons aren't the ones that are hurting me," she said, "I have class to get back to. Next time call me when you really need me." Before she could go through the portal Phoebe stopped her.

"We never meant to hurt you. Never."

"I know," Paige said softly but before she could say anything else an arrow hit the wall. She aimed and shot of jet of orbs at him and he got out of the way. Paige was about to dart upstairs when Prue stopped her.

"Sorry Paige," Prue said and her younger sister went through the portal. Phoebe and Piper looked at her speechless after the darklighter shimmered out.

"Prue what did you just do?" Phoebe asked.

"I saved our sister, that's what I did. Darklighter arrows are poisonous."

"Paige would have killed him! She was about to anyway. Even if she had been shot Leo would have been able to heal her," Phoebe said.

"No, I couldn't take the risk. Besides I was protecting her."

"Don't you see? That we're the ones hurting her?! She went to the school to learn more about magic, to be better prepared for demons. You just sent her there to protect her. Paige doesn't want protection. She wants to be free. We all know how independent she is. I'm not saying that we should pull her out of the school but we have to let her protect herself. I want to keep her away from this as much as you do Prue, but the tighter we hold her the more she'll rebel," Piper said.


Paige stumbled backward through the portal nearly falling on the ground. Marks caught her and he smiled.

"Have a nice trip Halliwell?" he asked.

"Get off!" Paige said leaving his grip and going back to the cafeteria. Before she had a chance to explain what happened to Melanie and Hadley the bell rang.

Later that evening, at dinner, she told them what happened. Hadley said to learn to get over it because that's what she had to do.

"How; if we're fighting a demon that needs the Power of Four, I can't sit it out. It's my responsibility too. Prue thinks that since I'm still in school it's one I don't need. She's wrong though."

A/N: What'd you think? Who do you think is right? Paige or Prue? Or neither? Please leave your opinion in a review! Thanks so much! Charmed Always- Kels
