Summary: As the title says something has terribly gone wrong in the changed future, but what?
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters; just borrowing them for the time being because Charmed is one of my favorite TV shows ever and ideas about the show just won't leave me alone.
Warning: This story is rated 'M' for abuse which seems like a constant running theme in my stories, don't know why I think I am (on most days) a well rounded individual.
There are many stories with this theme on the sight here however I hope this one is different enough to warrant a read, the second chapter is almost very similar to other stories out there however it takes a change after chapter 3.
Notes: There are no characters listed for this story because if they were it would give the story away so bare with me. I managed to integrate one of my favorite characters into this story which I am very proud of. He shows up on chapter 5.
The chapters in this story are going to vary in size because I am trying out something different which means some will be short and some longer. This I believe is what the spirit of this site is all about, we all write for enjoyment and we should experiment.
I plan to update this story once a week as most of it already is written however I want to take my time in updating so I can write the unwritten bits on time.
This story does not have a beta so all the mistakes belong to me.
Without anything further on with the story…
Present Time (for the story)
Some twenty odd years in the changed future after the finale….
The Halliwell coven was in a mess. In the last few years an unknown source of evil had risen up. It wasn't an individual as much they were a group or at least they looked like a group. They had challenged the so called trying to be source herself and made sure that the entire underworld knew that they were successful. They had not taken over the sources place but instead the Halliwell's knew that many answered to this new power.
One of the most dangerous things about this new power was that they were collecting assassins to their cause. There were many assassins that were working for the power. Over the last few years there had been a lot of witches and even mortals that had been killed. They had even managed to kill a number of whitelighters as well as getting their hands on a few Elders. The only reason that anybody knew they were always the same group was the sign that they always left behind.
After every murder a triquetra would be left behind. Burned onto either the victim's body or if the scene was bigger onto the floor. The Charmed family was worried. Yes the symbol was not theirs and it had been used by various cultures for the last 5000 years however in the last 30 years or so it had become their symbol and someone or some group was using it to spread panic and fear in the underworld as well as the mortal world.
They had been approached by the FBI which wasn't very shocking since they knew that there had always been a part of the government that knew about magic, demons and so on.
However the government coming to them was a surprise. They had been approached for a number of murders within the mortal world with the same symbol. The FBI analysis team knew that it was not the same person doing the killings as most of them were killed in different ways however with the symbol they knew that it was the same group that claimed each kill.
So far there had been 52 unsolved murders in the mortal world including in thirteen other countries besides the United States that "Trinity" had claimed. The name had been given to the group by a newspaper reporter when the connector for the murders had been leaked to the media. Every police department was on high alert however they had no way to defend themselves against the attacks as they were clearly magical hence the request for the Charmed Ones.
The magical community was under a similar attack. The Charmed Ones were told by the Elders that there had been a hundred and seventeen murders by the same group which was an incredible number considering the magical community was rather small. And the murders were not only related to the human population the dwarfs, the fairies, the elves, the leprechauns all had reported murders, everyone was on edge considering no one knew what this group wanted.
For the first time in millennia the Elders and what was left of the demon community were working together. The demons that were still free and alive had recently gotten together with the Elders. The few left over clans were in hiding and they wanted help. They reported a mind blowing of thousands of dead by the same group. You either joined their cause and disappeared into their ever expanding territory or you got eliminated.
However no one knew what their cause was. The Charmed Ones were not lucky enough to catch a break and find out. Their territory was clearly marked in the underworld. Meaning it was protected by powerful charms. It was like an invisible wall that would spring up in certain parts as they expanded and it could not be breached by anyone even the power of three. No one who had gotten through had come back out. From the few that had gotten through several had been found dead in various parts of the world and the Elders believed that those that had not been found had joined the cause.
The Charmed Ones had gotten together to see what they could do to help. The power of three was still the greatest power of good that had existed and them together with their offspring were a force to be reckon with.
There were Phoebe's children who would be the next Charmed Ones and a spell with a power of six had quite the kick.
Then there were Paige's twins who could cast spells faster than you could blink and their older brother was the delegated whitelighter to the group, he could heal and could speak all the languages out there and was the person who negotiated with all the magical creatures that they came across. He had the air of a true whitelighter in the making.
Of course then there was Piper's and Leo's son. Who was a beacon for light magic, a witchlighter of impressive power, their pride and joy.
Together the Charmed Coven as they had been named was the magical community's last chance against an unknown evil that was spreading.
The Elders and the Charmed parents felt that they were missing something from the equation while they were looking into the attacks but for the life of them they could not figure out what it was supposed to be.
I hope you can guess what it is… or who it is... not knowing who it is - is what is going to be driving this story (I hope).
