"Whoa. You've got to be kidding me. A witch? They only exist in fairy tales and legends, but not in real life! It's just not possible." Paige sat there stunned. "And what'dya mean about Leo 'guiding me'. Is he a witch, too?"
"No. I'm not. Im a whitelighter, just like your father was. We're like guardian angels. We help witches, like you and your, uh, sisters, and also future whitelighters. You are now one-third of the most powerful witches in the world. You are one of the Charmed Ones. You are a direct decendent of Melinda Warren." Leo told her from his position, he couldn't stand because Piper was still clinging to him.
"Melinda Warren...wasn't she burned at the stake for being a witch? I mean, I studied the Salem Witch Trials and all, and I think I remember that name. Didn't her last word have to do with three...Oh. I get it. You all are saying I'm one of the three she talked about. I don't buy it." Paige leaned back into the couch, her arms crossed as if waiting for magic to happen.
"Hey, uh, Piper? I've got to go, they're calling me and I've been ignoring it, so...I really gotta get up there. Otherwise you'll all of a sudden be laying on the couch all alone." He leaned down and kissed her softly, before standing up and orbing out.
"Leo shouldn't you orb...somewhere else? Thanks for scaring her!" Piper called to the ceiling, startling Paige.
"What the hell did he just do?" Paige jumped up, afraid of what they might do.
"It's called orbing, it's a whitelighter power. You can't really see my power, unless one of these lovely guys wants to be blown to bits. Or I could just freeze one of them, but I don't really have control over what's gonna happen so, I don't think we're gonna try that. Hey Pheebs, got control of the levitation yet?" Piper tried to joke, but failed miserably.
"You wanna see a power Paige? Here's one of mine." Phoebe managed to levitate for a few precious seconds before falling back into Cole's arms.
"Wow. So, ya'll really are witches. What do you do?" Paige looked more curious than scared now, and Piper and Phoebe managed to relax a little and help Paige understand witchcraft.
"We fight evil." Piper said simply, summing up the job description in a sentence.
"Evil, as in..." Paige trailed off.
"Evil as in demons, warlock, and other various evil forces." |
