I thought of this while I was talking with my friend one night. Hope you enjoy it.


"Mommy, tell us a story," a series of children cried out to their mother, as they scrambled into spots all around her. She shot them all smiles, as she moved her hand to bring a rather large worn, leather bond book toward her. "Tell us a good one this time."

"Oh, I see how it is," she replied, as she began to leaf through the worn pages of the book. "My stories aren't good enough for the likes of you anymore."

"They are, but we want a good one," they cried out. "Please. Not one of those 'Charmed Ones'. We know how that all ends."

"Fine, how about one of the infamous Belthazar adventures or even a Chris adventure?"

"Is that all you know?" they asked, as they glanced around. "What about like a Seer story or even a Source one?"

"If that's what you want...then you'll get what you ask." Her voice turned darker and the children scooted back in fear as the woman's eyes grew dark and then flickered with what appeared to be fire.

"Mother?" one of the children cried out in fear, only to be destroyed by a fire ball.

"Mother!" the other children screamed out in fear as they ran for cover, trying to get away from her.

One of the older girls grabbed onto the book and made for a corner. She quickly began to flip through it, watching in horror, as the woman formally known as the mother to them all began to destroy them one by one. She cried out in fear, as she continued to flip through the worn pages. "I don't know what I'm looking for!" she cried out, only to have like a gust of wind to come up and flip the pages to an exact page. "Okay..." She quickly began to skim the words, stumbling over the words that she didn't know. Being one of the few that had learned how to read, it was hard.

Taking a deep breath... she turned towards the symbol that was drawn on the wall. And began to read out loud the words on the page.

Hear these words.
Hear the rhyme.
Heed the hope within my mind.
Send me back to where I'll find
What I wish in place and time

She watched in awe at the symbol on the wall began to glow and then turn blue. "That's different," she muttered, as she grabbed onto the book. She felt a presence not far from her and turned to look up to see 'Mother' reaching for one of her fellow siblings. "No!" She reached out for her sibling. "Liam!" The young boy orbed to her in a crying fit.

'Mother' spun around to face the girl and hissed when she spotted her with the book. "You have no right to have that book," she growled, as she started towards them.

"And you have no right to be called 'Mother'," the girl replied, as she took a tight hold of both Liam and the book before jumping back through the whole in the wall. She felt someone else or something else brush past her, along the way through the portal. She heard 'Mother' scream before it closed behind her. The girl landed hard in what appeared to be a foyer with Liam and the book in her arms. Liam let out a cry, as he tugged on her arm as if to make sure that she was okay. "I'm just peachy, Liam," she replied, as she sat up slowly only to freeze when she noticed the young man sitting on the steps reading a book that almost looked like the one that she had grabbed onto before jumping through the hole in the wall with. "Or not."

"Hi," the young man started, as he shut the book and set it down on the landing behind him. He didn't make any more movements other than that. "It's okay. You're safe here. Nothing bad is going to hurt you."

"Yeah, I've heard that one before," she muttered as she spun around at the sound of footsteps coming behind her and her eyes grew wide as she saw the 'Charmed Ones' come up towards her. She backed up toward Liam. "Yeah, I really not gonna stay. I'd rather face the lady with the fire in her eyes and the oh so deep voice than this."

"Wyatt..." Liam whispered, causing her to glanced up to see that one of the Charmed Ones was holding a baby Wyatt. Before she could stop him, Liam orbed.

"Liam!" she cried out, as reached out her hand, stopping the boy in mid orbing. She blinked in confusion, while she moved up to look at him. "Liam?" She waved a hand in front of the toddle froze in mid air. "Oops." She shot the others a worried look. "I didn't mean to do it. How do I fix it?"

"It looks to be like your powers," the man said, as he came up to her side. She remember him somewhat from the stories. He was Leo, she thought, a whitelighter, once Elder, once avatar, once mortal. He got around a lot. "Looks like you can control time and move stuff with it."

"Ah, great fun," she said with a sigh. "How I unfreeze him?" She ran a hand through her blond hair, not caring how bad she was making it look. Right now she had better things to think about than that.

"Concentrate," both he and the one holding Wyatt said at the same time. "You don't want to hurt him."

"Well, no duh," she muttered, as she moved a step back away from Liam and glanced at him. She flickered her hands and Liam went soaring toward the Charmed Ones. The light haired one caught him. He glanced up at her and began to scream. "Liam, it's okay." He quickly orbed away from her and into her arms. "Shh...it's okay, buddy. They're not gonna harm you. You remember the stories. You remember, Wyatt, and Chris." Liam nodded, as he glanced over at the others. "Well they're Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Leo."

"And you are whom?" Piper asked, glancing at the young woman who held a young white-lighter in her arms. "And how do you have a child who can orb?"

"Tryce, and it's a long story," she said, glancing down at Liam. "Let's just say, we're more like Chris than you'll ever now." She shot them a smile. "It's nice to meet the ones of the stories."

"Stories?" Phoebe asked, moving up to the girls side only to watch in amazement as Liam raised up a small hand an a force field surrounded the both of them. "Wow, doesn't that remind me of somebody."

Tryce chuckled, while she ruffled Liam's blonde hair. "Nah, he's not like Wyatt in anyway, shape or form," she began. "He's just a wee little halfie that we found."

"Halfie?" both Pride and Phoebe asked at the same time. "Half of what?"

"White-lighter," Chris muttered, causing Tryce to turn to look at him. "Isn't that right?" He took a step towards her, only for her to take one back away from him. "It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you."

"Yeah, and I believe that." She stumbled back against the back of the couch, losing her hold on Liam. He went flying out her arms, and she winced as she watched him let out a soft cry before orbing out of the room. "Liam!" She quickly scrambled to her feet and rushed after him only to hit the sides of the force field. She slammed back hard on the floor. "Not funny, Liam." She threw out her hands, trying to break it, but it didn't fall. "Ah, stupid half-breed."

"Watch it!" both Chris and Paige said at the same time, causing the girl to roll her eyes before she dropped her head. Before anyone could ask what she was doing. Another version of herself was outside of the force field. "Cool trick."

"Astral Projection," Chris and Piper said at the same time. "Prue had that." The Astral
Tryce turned around as if she was sensing someone. "What is she doing?" The question was soon answered, as Astral Tryce grabbed what appeared to be thin air and threw it at the force field.

In a hiss, a young, hot pink spiked hair girl slammed into Tryce the moment the force field broke. "Damn it, Tryce," she hissed at the other girl, as she quickly got off of her. "I was doing fine. They didn't even know I was even here."

"Yeah, I know that," Tryce replied glancing at her hot pink companion. "Do you by any chance sense where he went?" She didn't even spare a glance at the Charmed Ones for a minute. Her mind was on Liam for a moment. She had too much to think about.

"No, I was too worried about you getting stuck again and them," she answered, shooting a glance at them. "Who are they?"

Tryce let out a sigh, as she got to her feet and tucked a loose strand of her hair behind an ear. "Maddy, meet the 'oh so popular Charmed Ones'. Charmed Ones meet Maddy."

"Pleasure," Maddy greeted them all, as she turned to her future companion. "Wanna explain what the hell you did? One moment we're sitting with the kids listening to stories about 'them' from Mother and next thing we know Mother is killing all the special ones.

Then I see you taking the forbidden book to say a spell to open a hole in the wall. Then you grabbed Liam and went through it. I had to follow to make sure you were okay. I wasn't gonna stay back to make sure I got killed as well."

"Well I hate to break it to ya, Mads, but 'Mother' is the Source," Tryce replied as she ran her hands through her hair. "And she wouldn't have stopped with them. By killing Liam, she would have severed the link."

"The link?" Maddy asked her, turning to face her. "What link is that?"

"The Charmed One," Phoebe said cutting in and causing the young woman to look over at her. "You're Charmed?" She shot a glance between the two of them. "Right?"

"Yeah, I kinda figured that one out, when I froze Liam," Tryce replied, as she glanced at Maddy. "But Maddy's always been able to cloak. It's her breeding."
"Her breeding?"

"Yeah, she's a little full-breed." Tryce shrugged as she glanced around at them. "It's different in the future. You would be shocked at how it all goes in the future."

"I guess," Paige muttered, as Maddy quickly spun around. She reached out and grabbed onto Tryce's hand and orbed out of the foyer. "What the..." She then turned to face the others. "Where'd they go?"

A/N:

Powers Heads-Up... in case you're lost...

Tryce so far has shown that she has the powers of Astral Projection and Chronokinesis.

Liam can orb and do force fields.

Maddy only so far has shown that she can cloak and orb. But we all know that she has more powers than that.

Please Review and tell me what you thought. Thanks. Lexie.
