Author's Note: Here's the product of my boredom on a Sunday afternoon. It's basically just what Billie was feeling during the episode. It's the first story I've written in 2nd person, but I think it came out okay. I had to watch the episode quite a few times though, to get it all. Anyway... Enjoy!

You frantically run to find him. He said this would work. He didn't say this would kill your sister. What now? You find yourself in a dark room.

"Dumain." You call. He turns around. "Good, you're still here."

"Billie, what happened? Where's Christy?" He asks you. You fight tears as you say your next words.

"She's-She's gone." You sputter out.

"What about the Charmed Ones?" You shake your head.

"Piper... Piper's the only one left. I don't understand, you said the hollow would be enough." You trusted him- you trusted his plan. Now look what happened? His plan killed Christy- his plan killed your sister.

"They got it too. They somehow found out you were going to use it against them, so they summoned it too. It must've split, infected you all." He explains. Why is he telling you all this? What you really want is your sister.

"I just want Christy back." You say.

"You might be able to. You've got the power, Billie. You've projected yourself back into the past before, haven't you? When Christy was young, when she was trapped in that cave?" You know he's right, but you're scared inside.

"Well, yeah, but I…"

"Then why can't you do it again? Only this time you can go back to change what was, to save her. You trust me, don't you?" You nod and rest your head on his shoulder. He's all you have left. You sigh.

"Are you ready to try?" You nod.

"Anything to get Christy back." You close your eyes and try to project yourself to Christy. After a few long moments of trying, you open your eyes, defeated.

"It's not working."

"Try again."

"Dumain, I can't." You protest.

"Do you want your sister back or not?"

"More than anything." You beg. He nods and leads you into the main room of Magic School. He sets candles in circle on the floor and you sit cross-legged on the floor.

"All you need to do is focus on saving your sister, which means focusing on the battle. Let's try again." You take slow breaths. "Clear you mind of everything else, from all that has happened since." You close your eyes and do as you're told. " Let go of the pain of loss, because where you're going that hasn't happened yet. Think only of Christy. See her at your side. You want to save her more than anything else. And that's what you're going to do." Christy... You think to yourself... Christy...

"That's it. You're almost there. Now go, project yourself back to the Triad." Christy... Christy.. Triad? What the hell? You open your eyes.

"The Triad?" You stand in a flurry of rage. "What the hell are you talking about? Are you trying to trick me?" You interrogate.

"Wha—no! Of course not!" He defends. Liar! He told you that you were going to Christy. What the hell is this triad crap?

"Then what was that? You said I was going back to see my sister." You yell, bitterly.

"You're right. I should have told you." He covers. You stare at him. His face is inscrutable. Is he trying to trick you? He's lying to you.

"Should've told me what? What's going on?" You demand.

"What's going on is that if you don't go back to warn the Triad about the battle, they won't be able to stop it, which means they'll still be killed and so will your sister!" What is he talking about? The triad? You thought they were dead. He never told you about this. This isn't about Christy anymore, you bet. This is about them.

"So, you're saying the Triad was still alive?" You guess. He rolls his eyes at you.

"More or less." He says, nonchalantly. Bastard!

"And you didn't tell me? So you've been manipulating me this entire time, and Christy too?" You accuse.

"Christy understands exactly what is going on." What does he mean? Christy is dead. Doesn't he understand that?

"And what might that be?" You retort.

"Why don't you go back and ask her yourself? Then maybe you'll understand too." At this point, it seems that is your only option.

"Maybe I will go. It seems that you can't be trusted anymore." Dumain shrugs and you sit back down in the circle.

"Christy…" You say trying to zone everything out. "Christy… Christy…" Suddenly you appear in the manor. You open your eyes and stand up. You see Christy again and yourself about an hour ago. This is your chance. You have to stop them.

"Who are you?" Your past self asks you.

"Well, I'm from the future, I came back to warn you—me, not to do this. No, no, I'm serious, you're gonna get yourself killed. This is not going to work." You explain. They don't seem to believe you. Your past self flicks her wrist and throws you into a wall and they leave you behind. You groan. When you come to you hear your voice coming from downstairs.

"We've been waiting for you." You hear your past self say. Oh no! It's going to happen all over again.

"Well, the wait is over." Paige says. You try to get up, but hitting the wall made you dizzy. You just sit and listen.

"No potions, huh?"

"We don't need any potions."

"Funny, neither do we."

"I knew we shouldn't' have trusted you."

"You should've followed your instincts."

"Next time."

"There won't be a next time." You close your eyes in anticipation of the explosion, but nothing happens. You hear chanting.

"What the—?" Piper asks.

"Don't ask. You'll get a headache." Another voice exactly like Piper's asks. You are thoroughly confused. You run downstairs and are suddenly sucked into your past self's body.

"Now, there's something you don't see every day." The Charmed Ones' Grams muses.

"What is going on?" Paige says. They seem just as confused as you are.

"Looks like time caught up with itself." Leo says.

"How did everybody get here?"

"Well, actually you have Coop to thank for that." You've had enough of this. You need to get out of here.

"What happened, what went wrong?" Christy asks, turning to you.

"Not here." You say and toss a potion at the floor. You appear in a dark ally.

"Where are we?" Christy asks.

"I dunno, some ally. That's not important right now." Christy walks out of the ally and towards the sidewalk. "Listen to me I'm-" Christy is quickly walking down the street. "Where are you going?"

"Just follow me." She orders you.

"Look, I'm from the future. The hollow doesn't work."
"Yeah, I see that." She says.

"We were fighting the sisters with the hollow and there was this huge explosion and you died." Christy seems unaffected by this. "You died, Christy. And I went to Dumain for help- he's not who you think he is. Dumain… He only cares about himself. He's using us… Dumain…" You trail off trying to think of words to say.

"What?" Christy asks. You have to choose your words carefully. Christy still believes in him. She keeps walking.

"We're gonna need Dumain's help if we're gonna finish what we started." She says. Didn't she just hear you?

"What is the matter with you? Dumain is using us, okay? And he's not the only one, the Triad is also. Yes, that's right, they're still alive, or they were, but Dumain didn't tell us that did he? Instead he tried to trick me into saving them instead of you."

"Well, maybe you should've listened to him." That was uncalled for.

"What?" You ask.

"The Triad could've helped us figure out how to kill the sisters if they were still around." She doesn't understand. You have to explain it better.

"Okay, look at me, listen to me very carefully. They don't care about us. They have twisted everything. They're using us, Christy. They're using us for our powers, our sisterhood, and our lives so all we can do is kill."

"And that's exactly what we're going to do, Billie. We're going to kill." At this point you realize this can't be your sister anymore. She's been completely changed by them. Maybe you can get through to her. You stand your ground.

"Well I can't do it. I won't."

"Then I'll do it on my own." You realize all hope is lost. It's too late now. She's leaving you.

"Christy!" You try, but she ignores you. You watch her as she is almost completely out of your sight. You're almost completely defeated. There's nothing you can do. You've successfully alienated everyone you once trusted. You have no choice but to beg for mercy. You start to walk to the manor. What will you say to them? They're not going to believe you, but you have to try. Maybe you can save them from Christy. You reach the manor. You just have to go in there and make yourself seem innocent. You'll just have to try to explain. You go up to their door. It's slightly open. You walk in.

"Okay, all we need to do now is find Billie and Christy." Paige says. You take in a deep breath and step into their presence.

"You don't have to look far." You say as calmly and innocently as possible. "Can we talk?" You ask, helplessly.
