A/N Hey guys Happy New Year. I really don't like this chapter but it was the best version out of like ten, literally. Sorry for the long wait. It's really because I have had a charmed ideal for a new story in my head since November of last month and I really want to post it but I don't know if I should. The story's summary is on my profile page and it's called "Julian". The other reason is because I have been hypnotized by this story called "The Greatest Power" which you should check out. You probably should check out my Profile Page if you want to know about new charmed stories that will be coming this year. Anyway here you go. If you have any ideas let me know.

The room was so bright, so terribly bright. Paige's only thought was to escape it. It just didn't feel right. Not to mention that the voices that were escaping from the light only scared her more. She wanted to leave but there was nowhere to go but forward so that's where she proceeded. She walked blindly for what seemed like hours to her short unstable legs to the point where she was almost crying when finally she bumped into a door. Its brown wood stuck out from the white that surrounded her although her eyes struggled to adjust. Then lethargically Paige stood up on her tippy-toes and lodged the door open.

"Oh hi, Paige" A calm Piper said to the frightened little girl."You look so tired Missy. Why don't you come lay down." Paige reluctantly followed Piper's command as she dragged her small feet across the carpet that lay on the unknown room's floor. As Paige slowly made her way to the couch where Piper sat, she watched her sister's face change drastically as she came nearer and nearer. "Well Paige you've made a big mess." Paige shook her head vigorously in a no gesture. "No? Look at the big mess you made." Paige turned around and to her two year old dismay all she could see was a trail of red, a lot of red. "You just keep messing up Paige. You're a very bad girl!" Piper yelled at the frightened two-year old who was her sister. Then almost suddenly as Piper's change of mood appeared it disappeared as a smile replaced Piper's growl. "Bye Paige." Piper quirked before she disappeared into the bright lights in which Paige had appeared.

"But Piper" Paige cried out. She didn't want to be left alone.

"Piper won't save you sweetheart." A voice called out. "No one will."

"Piper, Piper!" She yelled after the disappeared form over and over again. It was her greatest nightmare came to life: Being forgotten, being forgotten, and being abandoned.

Ten hours.

Ten hours of screams.

Ten hours of endless restless screams.

Ten hours off wrestling for her sister's attention. Ten hours of trying to wake her sister from what was supposed to be a peaceful slumber but was the terrifying creation of release know as the nightmare.

Ten hours of Complete and utter helplessness while her youngest sister endlessly called her name in pain once again.

Phoebe was upstairs in the book trying to concentrate although she was sure she could still hear their sister's scream even from up there. Piper although aggravated allowed herself to sit patiently by her sister's side while she screamed out her name pleadingly. It was heartbreaking to see her sister in pain but had no way of easing her young sister's pain but as her sister called her name for what seemed like the hundredth time that hour she cooed to her.

God it felt like all one big rush. With Paige and the guest appearances not to mention the innocent Avery who they still were yet to help.

"Piper" Paige whimpered as sweat cascaded down her face trying to cool the small body.

"It's okay honey. I'm right here."

Piper went to touch her half sister tenderly but just as it had done hours before the touch only caused Paige more pain. Paige began orbing in and out making her breath short and rapid.

"Your okay Paige." Piper cried out in a trembling voice. "Leo" She called for the umpteenth time. "Damnit Leo you better get your ass down here now!"

Answering her call, Leo floated back down to Earth in his usual blue and white façade of orbs.

"Hi Piper I…"

"Where the hell have you been? Where already vulnerable because Paige is you know, but now you won't answer my call."

"Piper"

"And what if a demon were to attack, what then?"

"I would have sensed it. The Elders would have sensed it."

"But what if you had been too late like you were too late to save…" She let her mind wander away from that day, from Prue. "What took you so long anyway?" She spat out coldly.

"I was at a meeting." He sighed out to her, fighting the urge to just take her in his arms and hold her until she was okay.

"You were at a ten hour meeting?" Phoebe interrupted from the hallway. She had been upstairs trying to look for Avery's demon since she wasn't able to look for Paige's.

Leo nodded. "The Elders have been watching the situation. They think that Paige won't wake up because of a demon. Apparently what Mikel said was correct. There is a group of demons pacifically after Paige. One of them you vanquished the other day. Coincidentally Paige has met these demons before. Demons have been in her past as long as they have been in yours. You were lucky to even vanquish Jerome on such short notice."

"Jerome, they have human names now?" Piper rolled her eyes at the ignorance. Luckily for her mood Leo ignored her rhetorical question.

"So you're basically saying that there is a group of demon Nazis after Paige?" Phoebe asked quizzically.

"Yeah but, that's not it. These are upper level demons. These demons are very powerful, so powerful that they need the power of three to be vanquished."

"And since Paige was transformed into an unprotected munchkin it only makes it easier for her to be manipulated." Phoebe inquired. "Well thanks guys." Phoebe said sarcastically to the sky hoping they would hear.

"But Paige is still in there she's just fitting a two year old image. She's curious and active like a two-year old but her likes and dislikes are the same right? So if "rational" Paige is stubborn wouldn't little Paige be just as?"

"See, but I don't think the same rules apply. Paige is sick. Her defenses are literally down and she's not getting any better." Phoebe's eyes showed sorrow and fear and there was nothing mistakable about what that fear was directed at.

"Leo can just heal…"

"I can't Piper." Leo interrupted.

"And why the hell can't you?"She shouted.

"The Elders advised me not to. It's still your job to get Paige back to normal. If I interfere it will defeat the whole purpose."

Piper's menacing growl quieted the room.

Paige's coughs filled the momentary silence that had impregnated the room.

Automatically Piper went to comfort her little sister but as soon as she placed her hand on Paige's back the younger girl's eyes flashed open in fear accompanied by the deafening scream that escaped the girl's mouth. Paige orbed away in fear with the little energy that she had left.

She orbed on top of Leo's feet. She quickly latched onto him. Her body shook against his trembling fear.

"He gonna hurt me again because pwiper…pwiper was mad at me and-and she, see…" She broke out in a coughing fit, blood splattering all over the carpet while she fought to catch her breath.

Leo picked her up and watched as she flinched in pain. Despite the Elders' direct command not to Leo attempted to try and heal her again but the warmth that was supposed to be coming from his hands did not come. In disappointment he looked at her reluctantly closing eyes.

"Don't go to sleep honey." He rubbed her back softly not wanting to disturb whatever may have been hidden under, not just yet. Placing her wet body on the bed he lifted her shirt up slowly, afraid of what he might see. Uplifting her shirt he revealed the source of his expectant fears. He drew his hands away to spare her anymore pain. He wanted to cover her body back up. He didn't want to see anymore. He didn't want to see the black the crawled up and down her stomach like a poisonous ant that was racing back and forth aimlessly. "You guys need to go…."

"To the book of shadows" Phoebe called sadly.

"Seems like the phrase of the day." Piper slipped a glance at her sister before storming up to the attic. She wasn't going to lose another sister even if she had to go to hell and back just to make it clear.
