A/N: Takes place after 6x12 (Prince Charming), everything that happens later didn' t happen.
I have to say that i wrote the beginning of the story in Paris (but it isn't a romantic story). I actually was really busy, but I just couldn't forget the plot. Important is, that i read the story ‚No fate' from jenna51980 before I left (I really love the story). So there are a few similarities (more an inspiration, in case I stole something – it wasn't with purpose) ... but I promise that this story is different – well I hope. Read yourself.
Please do me the favour and read at least the first two chapters before you decide that you don't like it. I have planed a lot and it is getting better – I just didn't know how to start the story.
By the way: Sorry for Grammar and Writing mistakes!
Chapter 1
‚I am going to reveal the mystery of Chris Perry!' was Paige's last thought that night. She had been furious about Chris ‚little' secret - of course not as much as Piper, especially because it was about her son and the fact that he was going to be the big evil. But it was definitely getting annoying ... every next second they found out a new secret of their mysterious Whitelighter. And nevertheless they actually still didn't know anything about him. Paige knew as well as Leo that Chris was good – or at least she believed that he came back to the past to save Wyatt... but he hiding so much... and with all those secrets she couldn't help her sweet nephew.
There was no way that she would let her son turn evil. That was what Piper thought that night. Of course she hoped that Chris had lied to them, but deep down she knew that he told the truth – although it was hard to believe.
Wyatt... her baby... What had she done wrong?
Phoebe was worried ... She didn't know how Piper was taking the truth about Wyatt... and she was angry at Chris... how could he hide such an important thing about her nephew... and the hundreds time she wondered why she couldn't read him – he must be a very strong witch in his time, to be able to block her... a CharmedOne.
The next day was a Sunday and Phoebe was working on her column in the living room and Piper was at the Club with Wyatt – to meet the band which was going to play this night.
And Paige ... Paige was in the attic. She had been going through the whole book, but she couldn't find the perfect spell. She had thought about the truth spell, but it wasn't exactly what she needed... so she had started to write one on her own. She hadn't told her sisters about her plan, but she was sure they would have done the same... She checked the spell again. She was satisfied with it. She hesitated for a second – thinking about calling her sisters, but then she thought that it actually only needed her and Chris. So she cast the spell:
Travelled through time and space,
Keeping thoughts, no word is waste.
Secrets hidden deep inside,
Let me see what is my right.
A day i give you to tell the truth,
Running is over, there is no use.
Chris i call you with open mind,
So i learn, what i want to find.
Suddenly Paige was surrounded by white lights. The same thing happened downstairs in the living room with Phoebe, Piper and Wyatt on their way in the club, Leo who was Up there and Chris who was on the Golden Gate bridge.
Paige looked around confused. She actually had expected that the spell would bring Chris... but instead she reappeared in the attic… but it was different – it was dark: in and out side, although Paige was sure that it was still about 16 o'clock. There was the Book of Shadows, but it wasn't the one she knew – it actually was a holograph.
Paige knew such sudden changes of her environment. There were two possibilities: The first one was that the whole world changed (5x13) or and the second one was, that she crossed time (6x11). And as she knew that she was surrounded by light after the spell, she expected that she left her time. And according to the spell – there could only be on possibility, which she actually hadn't wanted … she was in the FUTURE! … oh my god, that wasn't good – Piper is going to kill me… Suddenly Paige heard voices. Her instincts told her to hid, so she fast went to a dark corner. The next second the attic door opened and a woman with a group of seven people entered. The woman was talking about the CharmedOnes and the Book of Shadows, but Paige was a lit bit to far away, so she couldn't understand everything the woman said. … what the hell was this all about?
A minute later the people left again and Paige could breath normally again. 'Okay… I need a plan' she thought, but just as she wanted to search for a hint to get back to her time, a demon shimmered in.
"What are you doing here!" the demon asked.
"Vanquishing you!" Paige answered and took a strange metal stick and started to attack the demon. But the demon could easily dodge and formed a fireball to throw it in her direction. "Fireball!" Paige conjured the ball – she was relieved that at least her powers worked in that time – and threw the fireball back to the demon, who ducked. But Paige used the stick in the right moment and the demon exploded. As Paige thought that everything was fine, she heard about a dozen shimmering sounds… knowing, that she had any chance, she immediately orbed out.
Without knowing where she should orb to, she suddenly felt a strong pull – somebody was calling for her. Also she knew that it could be trap she followed the call – ready to fight.
"Leo! Paige! Piper! Chris! Does anybody hear me?" Phoebe whispered, just as Paige orbed in front of her – in alley.
"Paige? Thank god!" Phoebe said and embraced her little sister. Paige looked shocked at Phoebe.
"Wait… you are my Phoebe right?" She asked puzzled
"Yep… Phoebe from 2004, who was just writing at her column in the living room, as suddenly was surrounded by white light and the next moment she was still in the living room, but it looked totally different. The next second a demon attacked her, but thank god to her empathy power she could vanquish him. But as she sensed, that more demons were arriving, she escaped through the kitchen, where she called for somebody… and finally her baby-sister appeared – and she knew it was her sister from her time, because she still wears the T-Shirt with the coffee stain from this morning!" Phoebe said without breathing once.
"Ok. You are my Phoebe! And you figured out that we travelled in time… but I don't understand how you can be here too? Paige wondered.
"So it was you, who brought us here?" Phoebe asked suspicious.
Paige was embarrassed. "This wasn't supposed to happen…. I just wanted to know all the secrets of Chris… it actually should work like the truth spell." Paige explained.
"Wait… you wanted to know all of Chris' secrets… does that mean we are in the FUTURE!" Phoebe yelled.
"I thought you already figured that part out!" Paige said abashed.
"Yes… I mean…" Phoebe started. "Does that look to you like the past?" Paige asked her.
"But… so we are in Chris future?" Phoebe said to herself.
"I think!" Paige answered.
"That isn't good … or maybe it is!" Phoebe wondered. Paige gave her an asking look. "I mean: If we are already here… why don't we really find out Chris secrets." Phoebe said.
"And hopefully we are back in our time in a day!" Paige added – happy that Phoebe wasn't mope at her.
"What?" Phoebe asked.
"The spell I cast: it was supposed to hold 24 hours." Paige answered.
"Ok… we will talk about it later." Phoebe decided. "Let's go… I have the strange feeling that we won't find the answers in the Manor … was I crazy, or did it look like a museum inside?" Phoebe wondered.
"I think you are right." Paige only said and together with Phoebe she left the alley. As they saw their surrounding they were shocked. Everything seemed destroyed, as if there was an earthquake, a storm and thousand other disasters together, which hit this part of the city. They could see that people had tried to repair a few things, but it didn't seem that they succeeded. "Is this San Francisco!" Phoebe gasped. "Oh my god, how can that be?" Paige asked unbelieving. But they also saw cars and people who were walking through the streets and they seemed all normal, as if this was life.
"How can somebody live in such a city?" Paige asked.
They walked further… and their surrounding got better : it wasn't that it looked like in their time, but the damages didn't seem that bad. After a while they came to a little park – which actually couldn't be called a park anymore (A/N: I have no clue how San Francisco looks like!). Suddenly Phoebe stopped.
Paige turned around. "What is?"
"Piper!" Phoebe only answered.
"What's with Piper?"
"What if she is also here!" Phoebe wondered.
"I actually thought that you were infected by my spell, because you were in the Manor too." Paige said.
"I thought that too… but I just thought I felt her!" Phoebe said. "She is panicking!" she added.
Paige looked at her concerned. "Why didn't you say that right away?"
"Ok, we need to orb to her." Phoebe said and led Paige behind a tree, where anybody could see them. Then she took her hand and with each others help Paige orbed them out.
"… Chris! Paige! Somebody!" the two sisters heard their older sister crying. They actually appeared in an empty destroyed house… it was dark and their eyes needed a few seconds until they could see anything. But then they saw Piper kneeling on the floor. In the one hand she was holding Baby Wyatt's hand, who was sitting next to her… and in the other hand she was holding Leo's hand, who was lying on the floor. He was bleeding and the sisters could see an arrow lying next to him.
"Oh my god, Leo!" Phoebe said and she and Paige ran over to him.
Piper was crying. "It's ok… everything is going to be ok. I promise." Leo told her and kissed her hand.
"How can you know that? We don't even know where we are." Piper answered. That second the two noticed Phoebe and Paige.
"It's ok honey! We are here." Phoebe said and hugged Piper. Meanwhile Paige took Baby Wyatt and they both put their hands over Leo's wound.
"You can forget that! … Wyatt's powers don't work here." Piper said.
"What do you mean?" Paige asked, as she noticed that Leo's wound really didn't heal.
"I was just on my way to P3 as suddenly a white light surrounded Wyatt and me. The next moment everything looked different … it was all dark, and the P3 was only a ruin, only a few parts of the wall were standing…. And I could see nobody… And suddenly a strange flying robot came near… I had a strange feeling, that this wasn't good, so I let the thing explode, but it wasn't totally destroyed… So I ran with Wyatt… I told him to rise his shield, but he only began to cry. And as the machine nearly caught us, Leo orbed in and took my hand and brought us to this place… he was already wounded." Piper told her story.
"You are sure Wyatt can't use his powers?... maybe he just … okay you are right, he can't use his powers!" Phoebe said, as she was thinking about her sister's story.
"You are our Leo, right? I mean from 2004?" Paige asked the bleeding Leo on the floor.
"Yes, I am. And I have any idea what happened." Leo said out of breath.
"What do you mean with 2004!" Piper suddenly said angrily to Paige. "What do you know about this whole white light!" she asked.
"I kind of think, that we are in Chris future… I cast a spell, which went wrong…" Paige confessed shyly.
"You cast a spell, which was about CHRIS… are you crazy! You should have asked us… Because of you my husband is dying…" Piper said – not realizing how she has called Leo.
Suddenly they could see blue-white orbs. And Chris appeared in the house. He looked around puzzled – then he saw the sisters and Leo and he looked at them shocked.
The sisters looked at him shocked too, because he didn't really look good. It seemed as if he had cried and he was dirty and he had a lot of wounds which were bleeding.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Chris asked shocked, but also angry.
"Well actually it was kind of your fault!" Paige said angrily.
"Mine!" Chris asked confused.
"His!" Piper and Phoebe asked and gave Paige a look. "I mean Chris isn't really the person I trust or like, or anything comparable, but…" Piper started.
"Okay! Only indirectly… So everybody knows it now: I cast a spell to find out the secrets of Chris Perry, but the spell went wrong and I don't know why, but the people in this room- and I hope not more – were transported to this time… place… what ever." Paige said.
Chris went pale as he heard Paige's words. "You cast a spell and it took you…" He mumbled. "Are you crazy? My god you have no idea what you have done… you have to reverse the spell!" Chris ordered.
"The spell lasts 24 hours! I think after that we will be back in our time." Paige explained.
"Chris… we are in your time, right? So could you please call a Whitelighter who can heal, because Leo really needs help here! And I hope you don't want to change the past that much!" Piper said to the mumbling Whitelighter. It was then that Chris really realized the dying Elder on the floor.
"Oh no!" Chris said. "You can't die… not now already." Chris whispered as he kneeled next to Leo.
The sisters exchanged incomprehensible looks….Since when was Chris so concerned about Leo.
"Okay. You stay here… and I am going to find an antidote" Chris said.
"What about a Whitelighter?" Phoebe asked.
"The few ones, who still live won't hear you and me, and even if – they wouldn't risk it." Chris only explained and orbed out.
"Great now we are in his time and nevertheless we get any answers!" Paige sighted.
"We will talk about that subject once again… when we are back in our time and Leo is healed." Piper said to her baby sister. Leo meanwhile was already unconscious.
After a few seconds past, they heard clicking sounds and the sisters looked around only to notice shocked, that about a dozen weapons – guns and a few metal sticks and magical weapons – were pointing at them.
"Who are you? And what do you want?" a familiar voice asked – which the sisters couldn't refer.
Wyatt began to cry as he saw the weapons. "Keep him quiet or we will do it!" the voice forced.
Paige who was holding the baby panicked and put one hand over Wyatt's mouth. But he didn't stop, so Piper immediately took him from Paige and whispered comforting words in his ear. The three sisters felt relieved as he really stopped crying.
Suddenly someone mumbled something and a weak light appeared. The sisters had to blink a few times to see anything. Meanwhile the people with the weapons looked at them shocked. They began to whisper.
"How can that be?" "This is a trap!" "They can't be here."
"Quiet!" the voice from the beginning shouted… and immediately nobody spoke anymore.
The next order the voice said with a sad tone. "Kill them!"
