Freaky Phoebe.-.MS
“Go talk to her.” Paige said watching on as Piper froze in her place
“I can’t.” Piper stood looking at where Phoebe had left the attic.
“You can. Go.” Paige ordered as she looked at Piper. Somewhere the relationship between the two of them in the last four years had grown and turned to a truth. “Piper.”
Piper didn’t say anything she just felt Paige’s hand on her shoulder as she took a hesitant step forward. But that was it.
“Piper.”
“Paige I can’t. I just vanquished her. How can I go in there and ..”
“Tell her you didn’t mean to that you are sorry? Piper this is Phoebe. She’ll forgive you. Hell she probably already has.” Paige looked at Piper letting her know everything would be ok. “She’ll understand Piper.”
Piper wasn’t sure what to think any more. Her heart was ripped apart and then tossed back together. But now it was just confused.
“Go talk to her Piper.” Paige encouraged her older sister one last time. But she knew that Piper would go.
Piper looked at the attic door not really sure what to think but her feet found their on path.
Phoebe had made her way through the attic and down the stairs. Passing pictures of ancestors she had never met. She walked through the dining room and then the kitchen as she made her way to the backyard.
She sat on the portable hammock her thoughts on where she had just been and how she had fought to stay there. ‘Fought with help’ She said to herself.
Her mind drifted to how any of this happened in the first place. Didn’t Piper know her enough that she would have known it wasn’t her in her own body? How could she have not known that the demon had taken her body?
Piper stood in the kitchen looking to the backyard to her baby sister. Funny after four years she still thought of Phoebe as her baby girl. She suspected she always would. Sure Paige had made an impact on her life, but for over 25yrs Phoebe was her baby sister, her baby girl. And she didn’t think anything would really change that.
She stood there and just watched her until she felt her feet moving involuntarily towards her. Piper moved in behind Phoebe and wrapped her arms around her sister. Neither one of them was saying a word.
“You ok?” Piper finally broke the silence.
“As I can be. You?” Phoebe knew her sister was feeling guilty over what had happened.
“No. But I will.” Piper said as she tightened her hug on her sister.
Phoebe leaned back against her sister, letting Piper hold on to her. “Its not your fault Piper.”
“Isn’t it?”
“No.” Phoebe tipped her head back and looked up at Piper. “She tricked you.”
“I should be able to tell my own sister from a demon. She sent out so many signs I never caught on.”
Phoebe sat up and turned around to face Piper, taking her sisters hands in hers, “Piper they are getting smarter. She knew everything about us. All of us.”
“I still..”
“No. It’s them Piper. They are the ones after us all the time for our powers. The status of killing a Charmed One.”
Piper intertwined her fingers with Phoebes as she looked down. Is that all it was? Status of the kill? Another notch in their belt?
“Piper?”
“When I realized that she was you and what we did.” She felt a tear brush down her face as memories came to her. Memories that every now and then would surface. “I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t go through that again and yet I was. I lost another sister because of evil. I lost it.”
Phoebe reached over and pulled Piper into a hug. She knew the pain she had gone through. It was the same she carried with her everyday since Prue died. She couldn’t imagine going through that again.
Phoebe pulled back and brushed away the tears on Pipers face, “I think we need a sister day.”
Piper gave her a weak smile, “I think you’re right.” She pulled Phoebe back towards her twisting her around so her back was against her front, “But first. What were you out here thinking about?”
“Nothing much. Just the situation. How she got that close. How Zankou is getting closer.”
“And?” Piper knew her little sister better then Phoebe knew herself at time. And she knew when something big was bothering her.
“And that’s it.”
“Phoebe you forget who you are talking to. You never could hide things from me. Prue most times yes. But never me.”
Phoebe didn’t want to say what she was thinking. It hurt too much to even think about it.
“Phoebe.”
“When you guys vanquished me I fought to stay somewhere so I could come back to you.” She paused a minute before she kept going. “Why didn’t Prue fight to stay with us?”
This was not what Piper was expecting Phoebe would say. When Leo had told her about Phoebe fighting to stay on a plane of existence she too had thought ‘why hadn’t Prue?’. But now she needed to come up with an answer.
“I don’t know sweetie. Maybe its because her body was gone too. Her soul had nothing to come back too. You did. Once we got her out of your body you were able to come back.”
Phoebe listened to Piper, it made sense on some level. “I miss her.”
Piper squeezed her arms a bit tighter around her sister, “Me too baby, me too. But she is with us everyday you know that. As witches we never really say goodbye. Cause we know that one-day we’ll see them again. Be it with an appearance like Mum and Grams or just when our time comes too. But she is always with us.”
“I know.” She twisted around again giving Piper another hug, “Love you.”
“Love you too baby girl.” Piper placed kiss on the side of Phoebes head, “Now lets go find Paige and get this sister day going.”
