chapter 2

"Wait, we're in the future?" Phoebe asked, sounding a little panicky.

"My future to be exact," Chris replied.

"Who are you?" Leo asked the girl, who was looking around.

"Don't worry about that now," she told him. "Chris?"

"Yeah?"

"You still remember how to get back? Cause we need to get out of the streets, and fast."

"Yeah, come on, I'll orb us. Take my hand," he added to the sisters and Leo, who all looked very apprehensive. "Trust me, please? We need to get out of here NOW!"

The sisters and Leo looked at each other, but locked hands and Chris orbed them all to a plain concrete room. The room only had one door, but had a couple couches and a couple armchairs in it to seem more cozy.

"Where are we?" Piper asked.

"The entry room," the girl answered. "We use it to get to safety, but it's still cut off from the rest of the complex to keep everyone else safe if the visitors are dangerous."

"It's protected by spells, and other magic to prevent anyone from using their powers for evil," Chris informed them.

"Hey, you're bleeding," Phoebe pointed out to the girl, who looked down and noticed the gash in her side that Phoebe was talking about.

"I'll be fine," she replied.

"So why were you in our attic, and why are we here?" Paige asked. The girl looked to Chris, who nodded.

"Wyatt," the girl stated simply. The sisters shared an apprehensive look, while Leo looked annoyed.

"Oh come on, you really expect us to believe that Wyatt would hurt you and bring us to the future?" Leo asked in an intimidating tone. Chris rolled his eyes, and exhaled exasperatedly. The girl just shook her head.

"No Leo, I don't expect you to believe anything, especially if it's against your precious son," she said bitterly, taking a threatening step towards him.

"Lin..." Chris warned. The girl stopped and looked over to Chris.

"Fine," she sighed.

"Look, me and Lin need to talk, we'll be back," Chris told them as he pulled the girl away.

"Try not to do anything until we get back," Lin added.

After Chris and the girl had left the room the sisters and Leo looked at each other, and apprehensively sat down on the couch.

"So do you guys believe her?" Paige asked. "That Wyatt did this, I mean." Piper and Leo looked distraught, and kinda stunned.

"I do," Phoebe said quietly after a few minutes of silence. Her sisters and ex-brother-in-law looked at her curiously. "They may both be blocking themselves off from my empath powers, but I could tell they weren't lying."

"So who do you think that girl is?" Leo asked her. Phoebe sighed.

"Well, I'm not sure," she answered truthfully. "But I can tell they care about each other. When we got here, or here in the future I mean, they were both worried. Something bad happened, I mean you guys saw the city too. Maybe Wyatt is evil..." she suggested gently, inwardly preparing for Piper to freak out. To everyone's surprise, Piper nodded.

"You might be right Phoebe," she admitted.

"Piper..." Leo started incredulously. "Chris hasn't stopped lying to us since we met him, and this girl is probably the same. You can't honestly believe them..."

"Yes, Leo, I do," Piper sighed. Paige and Phoebe nodded their agreement.

"You know who she reminds me of?" Phoebe said suddenly. The others looked over at her.

"The girl?" Paige questioned.

"Yeah," Phoebe nodded. "She kinda reminds me of Prue."

"Now that you mention it, she does look a little like Prue. She's certainly got that no-nonsense attitude Prue had too," Piper agreed. Phoebe nodded.

"Think she might be a relative?" Paige asked. Piper and Phoebe looked at each other, then back at Paige.

"Chris, I swear I didn't know what he was up to," Lin told Chris when they got outside the room.

"I know Lin, it's okay," Chris assured her. "What happened anyway?"

"We heard he was planning something big, so I went to check it out. His demons attacked, then he showed up, we fought, and next thing I know I'm in the attic in the past. I realized he was trying to use me to get you back. I tried to stop them from calling you, because I know that's what he was waiting for, but..."

"But they did, and he brought us all back," Chris finished.

"Yeah," she nodded. Chris sighed and looked at her.

"I missed you," he said as he hugged her.

"I missed you too," she told him, returning the hug.

"There you are Melinda! What were you thinking?" a man asked incredulously, walking up to them. "Oh my God, Chris!" he exclaimed, finally noticing Chris.

"Hey," Chris replied as he and Melinda broke apart and turned to face the man.

"I'm so glad you're okay, both of you," he sighed, wrapping an arm around each of them. "We found out what Wyatt did, are they really here?" he asked as he released the two. Chris and Melinda looked at each other, then back at the man, and nodded. "Oh my God...Wait," he said, looking back at them. "They know who you two are, right?" he asked, nervous of the answer.

"No," the two muttered. The man sighed.

"So I can assume they don't trust you," he said to Chris, who nodded. "And they're probably suspicious of you too," he said to Melinda, who also nodded. "OK, let's go," he sighed, motioning for them to follow him back into the room, which they did apprehensively.

When the three entered the room the sisters and Leo looked up from their conversation. Leo was staring wide-eyed at the man, while the sisters looked shocked, Phoebe looked as though she might pass out.

"Cole?" they all exclaimed incredulously, staring at the man they recognized as Cole Turner.

"Hi guys," he replied calmly.
