Chapter Thirteen – Taken
Paige orbed into the sitting room of the manor. Everyone looked in her direction when they heard her orb in, but most looked back down when they saw who it was. Tyler didn’t. “Tyler, it’s good to see you, again,” Paige said as she walked over to greet him. “I haven’t seen you much since you graduated high school.” She smiled down at Miranda in Tyler’s arms. “And, Miranda, it’s good to see you, too. I’m sorry about Matthew, Piper, and Leah. We will find them.”
Miranda smiled up at her. “You didn’t mention this magic thing before.”
“She didn’t mention she was still in contact with Tyler, either,” Piper commented.
Paige shrugged. “I don’t tell you everything I do.”
“You might have mentioned I had a girl named after me,” Piper retorted.
“How about we find that girl,” Paige suggested, “and then we can discuss this?”
Before Piper could respond the phone rang. “I’ll get that,” she announced as she headed into the hall to grab the phone. “Piper here.”
“Hi, Piper,” Prue said on the other end. “We found something I thought you’d like to know about.”
“Definitely,” Piper agreed. “We’ve found some things, too.”
“I want to hear it,” Prue told her, “but you need to talk to Vicki first.”
Piper blinked in surprise. She hadn’t expected her thirteen-year-old niece to be the one with new info. “Sure.”
There was some sounds on the other end and then Vicki’s voice saying, “Hi, Aunt Piper.”
Piper smiled. “Hi, Vicki. Your mom said you have some info for me.”
On the other end Vicki nodded. “We’re in Commander Morris’ office and there is a girl here, but only I can see her. She’s not invisible, but it’s kind of hard to explain what she is. It’s more like she’s in another realm or plane or dimension or something and I can see that for some reason. When I focus in on her, it’s like everything around me turns to shadows, but it’s all still very blurry around her. I think maybe my powers are returning and that this has something to do with that. I’ve seen stuff like this before, but only when I was asleep. Marissa, the girl that I’ve been talking to . . . hey!”
Startled, Piper could only listen to the sound of cloth rustling and what sounded like a struggle. “Vicki? Vicki?!”
