Unless Paige already had an underlying disease or cancer that even she didn't know about. Perhaps the bite was healing her but it was painful to undergo. Gerard was healing slowly but still had pain so maybe Paige would have eventually healed and the bite would have taken BUT due to the pain she thought she was dying anyway and so did Derek since they never ran across this type of rejection before. In that case, he killed her even though she would have survived if properly cared for and rested.

Perhaps her disease or cancer was too much for the bite to heal and so while trying to heal her it caused the pain but would have failed in the long run anyway because it was simply too late for the bite to reverse that much damage. I know that this begs the question of what sort of disease or cancer could she have that she didn't know about and was strong enough to withstand the healing power of the bite? I am not a doctor but I'm sure there are some cancers and diseases that can kill pretty quickly without a lot of warning.

Again though, maybe none of the above is true at all and she was simply dying from rejecting the bite for some, as of yet, unknown reason. Nonetheless it is an interesting case I think because it is rare for the bite not to take.
