Prue watched and heard her youngest sister, Paige recite the spell to call her down to Earth.

"Hear these words, hear my Cry, Spirit from the Other Side, Come to me I summon thee, Cross now the great divide," Paige said. She took out her knife and sliced into the already fresh scar she had on her arm. Paige gasped in pain when it sliced into her skin. Prue frowned, Paige had tried calling her every night for the last week, and she had used blood to make the spell stronger. How Paige kept the scar on her lower right arm a secret from Piper and Phoebe, Prue didn't know, but she knew that it hurt whenever Paige re-cut into it, wrapped it up, and when it brushed up against something.

Paige sighed in defeat as tears slipped down her face.

"Come on! Can't you at least let me meet her, Piper's right you know, you just want to ruin people's life, if this some kind of game to you!" Paige cried. She shrunk to the floor and cried but stopped when she heard the front door close.

She glanced at the clock it was one in the morning. She hurried to put the candles up and dumped the potion contents away and rewrapped her arm. Slipping on the robe she had on earlier she thought about if she had time to get to her room without her sisters noticing. She didn't want to risk the questions Phoebe and Piper would ask if they found her awake. She declined joining her sisters at the club all week, stating she was tired. They must have come home worried she could be sick. Though Paige in a way she was flattered that her sisters were worried but she was more nervous about the questions. Paige spotted the sofa bed and went to lie down on it hoping her sisters would think she was asleep.

Prue wanted so bad to go down to see her sister and she hated seeing her in pain. She shouldn't be keeping something like this from her sisters. This wasn't anything to be ashamed of. Prue felt a tear slip down her face and fall from the Heavens. The tear landed on Paige's cheek, she dismissed it as hers but was strangely comforted by it. She heard her older sisters enter her room and question where she could be. Their feet pounded up the attic stairs; Paige felt one of the sister's hands on her shoulders.

"Paige," Phoebe whispered nudging her little sister. Paige groaned sitting up, making it seem she had been asleep for a while.

"Let's get you to your bed okay?" Piper asked concern in her eyes. Paige felt bad for lying to her sisters but she didn't want to show them she was weak. Paige merely nodded as Phoebe lifted her up from the couch, her hand grazing Paige's scar, she winced from pain.

"Paige!" Piper called out as she saw Paige stumble a little from the pain shooting through her arm.

"I'm fine," Paige yawned. Piper went to get a thermometer as Phoebe got her into bed. The next thing Paige knew was a thermometer being put in her mouth. Oh no, they were going to find out she was lying and were going to ask her what was going on, Paige thought. She thought of something to make the thermometer measure her temperature higher than it was, but she stopped when she saw Prue, who was glaring at her little sister.

"Don't Paige!" Prue said, who could only be seen by Paige, "its okay for your sisters to know, you don't have to hide anything." Paige backed away into the headboard. She couldn't show her sisters her weakness, nodding her head no.

"Paige," Phoebe said, holding Paige, Piper glanced at what Paige was looking at but saw nothing.

"Paige you don't have to worry they'll understand, it's okay," Prue said going over and kneeled down looking at her. She put her hand on Paige's shoulder, but she shrugged it away.

"You wanted to meet me remember? Here I am," Prue said.

"Not like this," Paige muttered, as the thermometer was taken out of her mouth. Phoebe read the thermometer as Piper felt her forehead; thinking that whatever her little sister was saying was due to a fever.

"Well there's no fever," Phoebe said sitting next to Piper, who was on Paige's bed.

"She's a little warm, maybe she's coming down with something" Piper said, talking like Paige wasn't there. Paige didn't look away from Prue, unaware of Piper and Phoebe's conversation. Prue took Paige's hands in hers and looked in her eyes, she tried not to show any emotion but Prue saw the sadness and fear in them.

"I know becoming a sister is difficult but you can trust them, they won't judge you," Prue said. She wanted to get to know her little sister, but she wouldn't tell Piper and Phoebe what was going on, she needed her to open up completely first though.

Paige closed her eyes wanting to shut the world away and buried her face in the pillow. Prue sighed and went back up to the Heavens. Piper and Phoebe shared concerned faces.

"Paige?" Phoebe asked, "How are you feeling? Is there something going on you want to tell us?"

"Paige, its okay you can tell us anything, you know that right?" Piper asked, touching Paige's arm, she flinched in pain. Piper motioned for Phoebe to hold Paige if she started resisting. Piper wanted Paige to open up to her and Phoebe in her time but, she if she was hurt than she had no choice. Paige started to pull away from Piper, wincing from the pain of the scar brushing up against her sister's hands.

"No," Paige whispered.

"It's okay Paige, it's for your own good," Phoebe holding Paige as Piper was pushing up Paige's sleeve. Paige buried her head in Phoebe's shoulder as Piper gasped when she saw the bandage. She carefully unwrapped the bandage seeing the fresh scar.

"Oh Paige," Pier said hugging her little sister.

"When did you do this, why?" Phoebe asked. Paige didn't say anything, Piper pushed her head up and looked into her eyes.

"Paige you have to tell us," Piper demanded.

"S'spell," Paige muttered.

"What type of spell?" Phoebe asked.

"Summoning," Paige muttered. Piper realized immediately who Paige had tried to summon.

"Paige how long have you been trying to summon Prue?" Piper asked Phoebe looked up at the sound of Prue's name. Paige didn't say anything.

"It's okay to tell us Paige, we've all tried," Phoebe said. This time Paige buried her head in Piper's shoulder, her arm brushed up against the comforter as she cried out in pain. Piper held her close.

"One week," Paige said.

"You've been doing this to your arm for a week?" Piper asked astonished.

"I couldn't do it, I tried and tried and she didn't come but then she did," Paige said.

"Prue came?" Phoebe asked, "When?"

"Phoebe!" Piper hissed, "First why don't we get that cut cleaned up, okay?" Piper helped Paige off the bed and took her into the bathroom; she sat her down and got some soap and a wet cloth. Paige winced as Piper cleaned her wound. Phoebe stood at the doorway watching Piper clean Paige up.

"She was mad at me 'cause I wasn't – 'cause I wasn't," Paige said gulping down tears.

"'Cause what sweetie?" Phoebe asked.

"'Cause I didn't tell you 'bout my arm, she said that I didn't have anything to be ashamed of," she said, "She was wrong though."

"What do you mean?" Piper asked.

"If I let people into my heart, I lose them like my parents, Richard, Kyle," Paige said, "I let you in and look what happened, because of me, the Avatars nearly killed Leo, Cole hurt Phoebe, all I've done is cause you pain."

"Paige, you have nothing to be ashamed of," Phoebe said, Paige looked at the floor.

"Paige look at me," Prue said, Paige looked up, her other sisters were unaware of Prue's presence.

"Phoebe's right, you have nothing to be ashamed of," Prue said, kneeling down looking at Paige.

"But I messed up Prue, a lot," Paige said. Piper and Phoebe exchanged questioning looks.

"Paige, is she here?" Piper asked.

"Yes, why can't they see you?" Paige said answering Piper but questioning Prue.

"Some Elder magic thing, don't ask me why," Prue said.

"Elders," Paige said.

"Wait the Elders aren't letting us see our sister?" Piper said. She stood up accidently brushing the cut with her arm, Paige gasped in pain.

"Sorry," Piper said, Phoebe headed toward the attic.

"I'll be back, Prue uh if you can hear me, stay with Paige," Piper said heading up toward the attic.

"They're gonna fight 'cause of me," Paige said. Prue held Paige's cheek in her hand.

"Paige you have to stop blaming yourself," she said. Prue wiped tears that fell on Paige's face.
