perusing the Charmed Wiki and yeah I AM getting emotional reading this tyvm
"Paige stated she started going to P3 about a year before Prue died. Paige went to the club because she felt a connection with the sisters, meaning she probably knew what they looked like. Therefore, it's possible that she and Prue have seen each other there without realizing they were related."
She appeared in the same spot that Gabe had been with Cas earlier that day. She didn’t know why this was where she landed but she did note to herself that the view was incomparable to any she had seen before. She spun in a circle taking in the sight of the Bay below the bridge pondering if a speck she saw was Alcatraz or not before sitting herself down and just watching the sights below her just to avoid any unwanted outcome from her visit here. She wasn’t the steadiest on her feet and happened to be a but if a klutz from time to time. As she sat watching the water, she gently pulled her knees to her chest again noting that she wouldn’t be able to sit like this for very much longer. Then the thought creeped into her mind that she probably wouldn’t be alive for very much longer either. She knew what happened in her world when angels got their human partners pregnant. It always ended badly. Whether it was when the child was born or before, from the other angels tracking the partner in question down and eliminating the partner and the ‘abomination’ the partner was carrying.
As she sat her mind wandered to the other part of her current situation, she found herself in, newfound family and powers. She couldn’t wrap her head around the fact she wasn’t entirely alone, beside the Winchesters and the two angels, in the world. Three older half-sisters. She knew it was farfetched but not entirely impossible, she had never known her mother or even seen a picture of the woman. She thought over the physical appearances and noted to herself the similarities between her and each of the sisters she had met that day, pondering just how many she had gotten from her mother. Until this point in her life, she had thought she looked like her father’s family and had none of her mothers’ features. She had been proven wrong today.
She hadn’t noticed how much time had passed nor has she noticed that she was not longer alone up on her little perch. She heard a malicious laugh behind her and immediately sent out the call for help to Gabriel and turned to see an ill intending angel with a wicked smile on their face. Y/N scrambled to her feet trying to stamp down any panic that quickly bubbled up.
The enemy angel spoke and spit their words like a serpent spit venom, “My my my Y/N. How foolish of you to be out here in the open all by your lonesome without your boyfriend or anyone else to protect you and your little growing abomination. Oh, this is going to be so easy to take care of…” They laughed again and stalked toward Y/N watching as she stepped away from them and closer and closer toward the ledge. The angel knew exactly what they were doing. If they were menacing enough the problem would just take care of itself and they wouldn’t have to get their hands dirty in the slightest. It would appear to her archangel boy toy that she jumped instead of her being killed outright by another angel, at least that was what this angel hoped. Watching as Y/N reached the edge and teetered slightly, chuckling to themself when she caught and rebalanced herself trying to keep herself from falling over the edge.
The angel lunges at her and she falls backwards off the top of the top of the bridge first she screamed out for Gabriel and then she called out for her newfound brother-in-law. It was Leo that was able to answer her call first. Catching her midair and orbing them both safely to the ground to profuse thankyous from Y/N. When her feet touched the ground both of them heard feathers rustling, Leo not knowing if it belonged to friend or foe he shielded Y/N with his body and turned to face the one responsible for the sound only to find a panic stricken Gabriel waited rather impatiently to get to Y/N and make sure that she was okay as well as beating himself up for not being there to keep her safe. She had to rely on her brother-in-law to save her from impending death. He was angry with himself and terrified for Y/N.
When Leo moved from between them Gabriel all but tackled Y/N and held onto her a little tighter than he intended to and failed to realize until she was tapping his shoulder begging for air reminding him, she needed to breath to continue living. He loosened his grip on Y/N just enough to let her breath comfortably but still holding onto her tightly afraid she would be in danger again if he let go of her.
He and Leo spoke about what had occurred and Leo questioned him about what happened that she had been up there by herself. Reminding them both that this situation could have ended very badly.
Gabriel was starting to get hot under the collar from the lecture that he was being given. He knew full well what almost happened and was already beating himself up internally for his mistake. That seemingly was all he’d been capable of making lately when it came to Y/N.
Finally, he’d had enough and decided to remind Leo who he had been lecturing. Speaking in a rather unpolite and unapologetic tone he let loose on Y/N’s newfound brother-in-law, “Yes Leo I am fully aware of what just happened and what could have. I’ve been around for literal centuries. Since the beginning to be exact. Ya know, the whole Archangel thing. I was there when Dad flipped on the lights around here. And yes, I am acutely aware of what almost happened here. And had I not known that you had her I wouldn’t had taken the time to smite the one that tried to kill her!”
Y/N reached out a cautious hand at this point trying to calm Gabriel down. She gave Leo a nod of gratitude and a knowing look before speaking up, “Gabe, how about we argue about this tomorrow and head back to the hotel for the rest of the night. I had some time to clear my head lets go enjoy out last hours of solitude and peace before the chaos of living in a house with people we barely know starts up…”
Reluctantly Gabriel turned to look at her and agreed with her snapping them back to their room and into the bed…
The feeling seizes her suddenly, the taste of ashes in her tongue, a flash of reflected pain across her shoulder blade that does not hurt her, but lingers. She drops her gardening tools and rises to her feet, heading across her territory and past the tree line without bothering to put her boots back on.
As a young girl, her grandfather had taught her to respect the woods, how to read it and traverse it safely, and to never enter it without means of protecting herself. As a woman, she needs nothing but her bare hands. The harsh change to her usual gentle aura a warning that keeps the other animals at bay. Alice feels the corvid contracted to her flying overhead, the felines she brought with her to this land standing guard in a radius around her. She is grateful for their concern, but she is at home under the darkness of leafy canopies.
The sensation guides her to a fallen doe, an arrow pierced at a quartering angle leaving her agonizing. There is no saving her, but she can ease her pain. Holding a hand to the animal’s head, she chants under her breath and lulls it to slumber, and through it, a gentle passing. In touching the arrow, she can sense the hunter’s intent - Smug despite clear inexperience, either not well taught enough to let an animal be if the shot is difficult or too proud to give it up. The willing, cruel choice to let it run off and suffer a slow, painful death, made with a shrug and an annoyed scoff - and it tinges her mood black.
With one last caress to the soft fur, the witch rises, and the forest seems to breathe as one with her. Her energy expands like roots across the earth, seeking. The cry of a crow has her looking up at the sky, finding her familiar circling a spot west of where she’s standing. Alice directs her energies there, and peeks at the careless intruder through three sets of odd-colored eyes stalking his every move.
She must be careful of her own intent. Hold back her animosity towards those who hunt for no other purpose than the sport of it, thrice so for those who do it irresponsibly. Magic allows her to make her thoughts, feelings and desires tangent, and she must not wish misfortune or harm to befall him. But he is in need of a lesson on respect. The blood soaked earth beneath her feet echoes the sentiment.
Alice lets herself be a vessel through which the forest can communicate, lending it her energy to show the hunter its displeasure. The creeping feeling of being watched would suddenly overtake him, a current of wind blowing to loudly rustle the leaves that seem to close in more and more all around him and dim the lights.
All that the forest can give, it can also take. And until that planted seedling of fear blooms into value within him, he will continue to feel himself prey amongst the trees.
