20 August 2003 - Rescued From Death

Nessa

Gwen and Paige

Gunn picked up the phone and dialled in the number he had listed for the Halliwell sisters. Faith had mentioned one of them being able to orb, and right now, he needed that sort of power. He didn't know where Gwen was, but it was worrying him.

"Hello?"

"Hi, this is Charles Gunn, Faith's friend, is... uh... Paige there?"

"This is she, how can I help you?"

"I have a favour..."

Gunn explained the story to Paige who agreed to do what he asked. They hung up and Gunn hoped it wasn't too late.

Paige hung up and closed her eyes, trying to feel for Gwen's location.

Eep! She was going to launch herself off a cliff. "Better make this quick!" Paige screeched.

***

Gwen stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the waves crashing onto the sharp rocks below. She took a deep breath backed away from the edge, then took a running leap, closing her eyes and spreading her arms as she plummeted to near death below her.

Until... nothing.

Paige orbed in and grabbed Gwen as she was falling then orbed back out quickly to Tulsa, into the Manor.

"What the HELL did you do that for?" Gwen yelled.

Paige looked shocked. She hadn't expected to get yelled at. She took in Gwen's appearance with a gasp. "You're welcome, geez!"

"I never asked for you to help me!"

"Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Look at yourself!"

Gwen shrugged. "Don't care."

Paige took a deep breath and held her hands over Gwen's arms and legs. A bright light shone from them and a second later, Gwen was all healed. No cuts, no burn marks, nothing.

Gwen's eyes filled with tears. "Why did you do that?"

"Because you need help!"

"I don't need anything, what matters now?" Gwen cried as she fell to the ground. Paige took the weeping girl into her arms and rubbed her back soothingly.

"Gwen, you need to face up to what happened."

"I don't want to. I don't want to deal with this at all."
