"Paige isn't here." Phoebe said backing up.
"Oh that's unfortunate." Cynthia said with a evil smile.
"We aren't going to let you have her Cynthia." Prue said deciding to be brave.
"I already have her in the palm of my hand." She looked at Piper.
"That one too." Cynthia said walking towards Piper.
Prue took her hand and flung Cynthia into the wall.
She jumped right back up immediately.
"You can try but you can't defeat me Prue. See your mistake is always thinking your in control and the most powerful. Your sisters have surpassed you." Cynthia said teasing Prue.
"Piper. Blow her up." Phoebe said anxiously.
Piper didn't do anything. She looked at Cynthia and back at her sisters. When she looked up the stairs she saw Leo holding Melinda.
She took a deep breath before throwing her hands up at Cynthia. She wounded her arm before Prue flung her into the stairs.
"I'll be back for Paige." Cynthia said before disappearing.
Piper looked at her sisters, Leo and Andy. She walked up to where Leo was standing took Melinda and went upstairs. All that could be heard was the door slamming behind her.

They all sat in the living room trying to figure everything out.
"So apparently Cynthia is causing this." Phoebe said.
"Yes but why Piper and Paige?" Leo asked
"Because they are vulnerable. They are hurt and filled with rage. There's a lot of emotion there." Andy said
"How did she get them in the first place?" Prue asked
"No clue." Phoebe said
They all sat in silence hoping someone would come up with some answers.
Andy's phone began to ring. He went in the kitchen to answer it. When he came back in he had a stressed look on his face.
"So that was the station. Paige has escaped. There are six officers out looking for her." Andy said looking between Prue and Phoebe.
"So we just have to find her before they do." Prue said
"That's not all hun. They've reopened the case on Romans death." Andy said with a worried look.
"What? But I thought you took care of that?" Prue said looking at Leo.
"I did! I made sure Paige's name was far away from the scene. I made it look like cardiac arrest from "fixing" the wall outlet." Leo said defensively.
"I mean what do they think Paige did? Humans can't electrocute others. It was storming that night too. Anything could have happened?" Phoebe said trying to come up with excuses.

"They don't think it's human. They want a blood sample from her. Someone gave her a tip that there's something else going on." Andy said.
"So I mean most of its just hearsay right? Phoebe asked

"Yes but they've talked to Paige's coworkers at social services. They told them that Paige was married to him and she was pregnant. Now she's got no baby and her husbands dead. They think it's suspicious she never turned up to the crime scene or came to the funeral." Andy said
"How long has this case been back open for?" Prue asked
"About two weeks. Apparently the concerned mother called because she has a feeling her sons death was a murder. They weren't going to take it any further. But with her getting arrested for being violent while angry. It gave them the perfect opportunity to ask questions." Andy said.
"So did they question her?" Leo asked
"No they didn't. Two officers were talking outside of the room. They said she disappeared." Andy said
"Ugh I'm gonna kill her!" Prue said starting to panic. Just as they thought the situation couldn't get worse.
A loud bang on the door could be heard.
"It's probably the cops. Andy you answer it." Phoebe said pushing him towards the door.
"No. I don't want them to think I'm helping Paige." Andy said running to the kitchen.
"Fine! I'll get it. Work for everyone? Prue asked sarcastically walking toward the door.
Prue opened the door. She just rolled her eyes.
Darryl and Kyle Brody stood on the outside.
"We were given orders to look for Paige. Neither of us want to be here." Darryl said pushing past her.
"We don't know where she is. We thought she was safe with you guys." Prue said
Kyle and Darryl went up stairs from room to room looking. Prue and Phoebe followed them up. Eventually they opened a door to find Piper and Melinda on the other side.
Piper made eye contact with Brody.
"This is your fault you hear me! You told them! Her life is in danger now because of you! She loved you! And you just betrayed her trust!" Piper screamed.
Phoebe nudged Prue.
"Kyles the snitch." She muttered under her breath.
Darryl looked at Kyle and shook his head before walking to another room.
After they checked every room and found no sign of Paige they left.
Once again they sat in the living room. Prue put her face in her hands.
"I don't know what to do." Prue said annoyed.
"Wait. How did Piper know that Kyle told?" Leo asked.
"Maybe Paige knew and told her at the station." Phoebe said.
"Or Maybe she stopped by here after she escaped." Andy said looking back up the stairs.
"But doesn't it seem weird to you guys that Piper reacted the way she did?" Prue said
"What are you getting at?" Phoebe asked
"Do you think it's possible her and Paige are channeling each other's emotions?" Prue asked looking between Andy and Leo.
"That's possible." Leo said.
"I mean before they orbed out Piper said they only needed each other." Prue said
"And they are going through something similar at the same time. Maybe that was Cynthia's way of keeping their bond strong while pushing us away." Phoebe said
"That's true because theoretically speaking...if she gets those two on her side and the two of you stay good. In a tag team battle situation the four of you would cancel each other out." Leo said.
"This is all complicated." Andy said with his face in his hands.
All of a sudden feet could be heard running down the stairs. Piper got to the bottom steps and stopped.
"Melindas had her bottle and she's asleep." Piper said before walking the rest of the way down.
"Where are you going?" Leo asked
"Out." Piper said walking towards the door.
She went to open it and it slammed shut and locked. She turned to Prue instantly.
"Piper your not leaving this house!" Phoebe said.
"You need to confront your issues Piper. Why are you so angry?" Prue said
"Oh Prue just shut up and go home.
Actually take Phoebe with you." Piper said annoyance in her voice.
Prue raised an eyebrow. She knew she was getting somewhere.
"And why would I do that?" Prue asked
"Because Paige and I have each other. We don't need you two or anyone else for that matter." Piper said.
"So what? You don't want to live with me anymore?" Phoebe asked
"No! You should just move in with Jason. The only reason your staying is because of me! I don't want your pity!" Piper said starting to get more angry.
"Oh Piper you know we love you!" Prue tried to reassure her.
"No! Ever since you've been back you've taken over again. Everyone doesn't always have to answer to you Prue! We are adults!" Piper yelled
"Piper it's my job." Prue said not able to hide her voice cracking.
"But you make me feel like I haven't done good enough at mine! Paige and I had started to make progress after a really bad time . Phoebe and I were always close but after you died it was distant. But then you come back and take your place back and everyone just gravitates toward you!" Piper yelled at Prue starting to cry.
"Piper. I love you guys the same!" Phoebe said looking between her sisters.
"We all love you!" Prue said stepping closer to her.
"He doesn't!" Piper cried pointing to Leo.
"Piper of course I do!" Leo said walking up to her.
"No! We will never have a stable relationship because of the Elders! You will always choose them! Whenever I need you your never here!" Piper screamed at him.
"Piper I'm sorry." Leo said hugging her.
Piper broke down crying. Leo held her until Andy's voice brought everyone back to reality.
"It's the Elders." Andy orbed out.

It had been a few hours and they hadn't heard from Andy or Paige. Piper had calmed down. Her and Leo were back to being friendly. She had apologized to Phoebe and Prue.
Everyone was just waiting for Andy to get back.

When he orbed in they knew just by his body language that he had bad news.
"The Elders took Paige." He said nervously.
