I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah.

Paige couldn't count the amount of times she had tried to orb back home since she'd arrived in Los Angeles. She couldn't make it through the barrier. No one could. She could orb just about anywhere in the city, but not back home. It was the strangest thing. And it was also strange that it was somehow 2017 when it had been over 15 years earlier at home. She knew time travel was possible, but not like this. And Prue was here. She had never gotten to get to know her eldest sister at home, but maybe she could here.

Piper wasn't around, and Phoebe was from before she'd even met Paige. That was tough on her, she had to deliver the bad news. That wasn't something Paige had looked forward to doing. She was in a very uncomfortable position with her sisters. And she was pretty sure there were serious consequences to telling people their future. She just wasn't sure what else she could do. But it seemed, for now, that'd be a problem for another day.

Paige was freezing. Not just a little cold, but freezing. And it didn't take her long to figure out why. She was outside on a mountain. This was not where she had gone to sleep. She tried to orb back to the condo but to no avail. Shivering, she took a look around her. She saw Phoebe was there too.

"Phoebe!" She called. "Phoebe, wake up." She needed to get her sister out of here before they froze to death. Maybe that was why she couldn't orb. She couldn't leave Phoebe alone up here. But Paige wasn't sure what the end game was here. She'd been in Los Angeles only a short amount of time. She just knew they needed to move or risk freezing up here. And she was so...so tired.

"Come on, Pheebs..." She shook her gently. "Before we turn into snow witches." Leave it to Paige to try and make a joke in a dire situation. But that was just what she did.

"I think their vision is pretty bad, so if we don't move quickly and we're really quiet...maybe we have a chance." Paige whispered. Truth be told, she was always fascinated by dinosaurs, the T-Rex especially. But she liked them better in books and movies, not when they were right in one's path.

"Okay, so we just be really quiet and move slowly." Paige said. Of course it couldn't be the simple. She was pretty sure she could have just used her power to orb a sword through its heart, but that seemed overly cruel. It wasn't the T-Rex's fault they were in this mess. Paige would prefer to only attack if necessary. Hopefully he was the only dinosaur here.

But just as soon as she'd had that thought, she heard a rustling in the brush. "I don't know what that is, but we better get moving." She said, continuing to whisper.

Phoebe wasn't even surprised when they heard more noises that indicated the T-Rex was not alone. After all,
she was a Charmed One and having danger upon danger piled up at her was something that she had unfortunately become accustomed to.

"Whatever it is, it can't be good," Phoebe murmured.

She'd seen this movie and it didn't always end well for the innocent tourists lost in the park. The only difference was that they were in snow and she was pretty sure that she recalled from somewhere that dinosaurs did not do well in the cold. She was about to mention that to Paige when something attacked them from the bushes.

Phoebe didn't even hesitate. Forgetting that Paige could orb, she reached out and grabbed onto her newly discovered sister and shoved her behind her. She had barely gotten Paige out of the line of fire when a claw slashed into her side. She cried out from the sudden onset of pain and then did a high martial arts kick into the creature's head.

It wasn't her smoothest attack, but she would probably be forgiven since she was bleeding.

"Phoebe, no..." Paige started to protest, but it was too late. Whatever was attacking them now was not the T-Rex, but some kind of frigid crab monster. What? Where were they even coming up with these creatures? Paige didn't know, and they didn't have time to debate about it either. After Phoebe kicked the crab monster, Paige moved her out of the way, and used her power to orb a sword right through the crab's eye. It shrieked and writhed in pain, calling all of the attention of the T-Rex to the crab.

"We've got to move." Paige said. The T-Rex was now distracted by the crab and not paying any attention to them. Let them battle it out while the girls made their way down the mountain. Part of Paige was tempted to watch and see who would win out, but she thought better of it. This was a great opportunity for them to make it down the mountain.

Now that there was some distance between them and the creatures, Paige allowed herself to stop and look over Phoebe's wound. Luckily it wasn't too bad. But Paige healed it anyway. There might have been something else to fight along the way. But now that Phoebe was healed, they could get moving again.
