Of all the ways Paige would have liked this to happen, none of the would have been like this moment.
Taking in a steadying breath, Paige answered. "Prue is dead in my time. But it is not your fault. Christy ... " Has issues. Is a fucking bitch. Is -- so many things that Paige was holding in for Billie's benefit. "comes from our future and she blames us, you especially, for a lot of things. I promise I'll explain everything as much as I can after I get you someplace safe." Away from her, Paige didn't say out loud. "She is just trying to hurt you but Prue's death ... there wasn't anything that you could do. It was Shax, the Source's assassin, who killed her. It's a long story and I'll let Phoebe and Prue give you the details, just know that Leo tried his hardest and you tried everything to bring her back. It just .. it was already to late." Now. For her part. Paige waited for Piper to absorb as much of it as she could. Even though it was a shock, she knew that her sister wouldn't want half-truths and would want to know everything before dealing with all of these shocks. "While trying to get Prue back, you cast to a few spells that made it easier for us to find each other. I'm your half-sister Paige Matthews. My birth parents are Patty Halliwell and Sam Wilder .. mom's whitelighter."
Paige held her breath waiting for Piper's response. Studiously blocking out the conversation between Billie and Christy. Because although her heart went out to her charge, if she focused at all on Christy Paige knew she would say something that she probably shouldn't. She also knew that it would be low on the regretting scale.
