11Speaking of reviews, I WANT MORE! Stuff the be really critical stuff, I feel really rejected without them ( also one of my friends got ten or twenty reviews in the first weekend her story went up) so PLEASE GIVE ME REVIEWS! I will try to review back the people who review me, starting with Evanescent (thanx again( ) I probably won't post the next chapter until I have, say, ten reviews? Please?
Chapter 2
The woman waded through the crowd, to the dance floor, and tapped on the shoulder of a redheaded girl dancing near a group of guys, trying to pick up.
"Are you Paige?" the woman asked.
"Yes, I am. Why?"
"The woman at the counter, Piper, wants to tell you that a girl fell down behind the couch over there and wants you to deal with it."
"Can't someone else do it?" the redhead grumbled.
"She asked you to do it. I don't have any control over who she asks," the woman retorted sharply.
"I guess I'll have to go then." Paige winked at the guy she had been chatting up and left the dancefloor.
The woman waded her way to a shadowy corner and disappeared in a cloud of light.
Paige leaned in behind the unoccupied couch. "Hey," she said softly. "What are you doing in there?"
"I don't know. I was shot with a crossbow and a woman moved me here from outside my home."
Paige paled. "A crossbow?" The rip in the girl's jumper caught Paige's eye. She placed her hands over it and let golden light flow over the wound.
"So, what's your name?" Paige asked conversationally while she healed the girl's wound.
"Leona," the girl answered. "My dog's name is Moonbright. Brighty for short. What's yours?"
"Paige. So, you have a whitelighter. Why do you have a darklighter after you? Do you know why your whitelighter left you here?"
The girl, Leona, gave her a confused look. "There's a what after me? My what left me here?"
"Never mind," Paige said. She looked down at her hands. "I'd better get some help."
Leona sat up. "What do you mean? The hole's gone."
Paige hesitated. "Just stay here. Please?"
Brighty licked Leona's hand pitifully. She realised just how much her head was throbbing.
"Okay. I'll stay here."
Paige went up to the counter. Piper instantly found her.
"Paige, what's up?"
"A woman lead me to a girl who I think's a witch and whose been attacked by a darklighter, and I can't heal the poison. Not on my own."
"Take her to the manor. Make up a potion or something. If that doesn't work, call Leo."
"What if we need the Power of Three?" Paige asked.
"Paige, this is the busiest night of the week, and we're short-staffed. I can't afford to leave when you might be able to fix it on your own."
"We're the Charmed Ones, remember?" Paige said angrily. "We are here to protect innocents. And this girl is definitely an innocent."
"I'll see what I can do when the shift ends," Piper said. "If any demons show up, call me. A whitelighter can protect an innocent." She stalked off to serve someone at the counter.
"Fine, then." Paige shouted angrily after her. "See if I care."
She stormed back to the couch, to find Leona had fainted. Brighty whined at her.
Oooohh, what's going to happen next? (Geez, I'm an idiot). Please review and find out. Actually, if you could find a way for my teachers to not give me tons of homework, that'd be great too.
