Chapter 2: SURPRISE
Once in the future, the girls were relieved to see Chris and Andy in the attic. They were even more relieved to see Andy wearing something other than black leather. It was obvious within a few moments that the couple couldn't see the sisters.
"Oh Chris!" Andy sighed, tears in her eyes. She was looking down at the giant rock on her finger. "Yes!"
"Awww…that's so sweet," Phoebe cooed.
"Shhhhhh, I can't here what their saying," Piper admonished. "Does Chris look younger than he did?" she asked after a beat.
"Yeah, maybe eighteen," Paige added. "You don't think we're too early to really tell?"
"No, the world would have been evil by now…I think," Phoebe surmised, but was soon corrected.
"Chris!" a young girl, Justine (Chris' sister) called as she came running into the attic, interrupting the intimate moment. She looked out of breath and worried. "He just exposed magic! I tried to stop it, but I couldn't. And all these people…and the demons…and…and."
"Just calm down," Chris ordered. "Now, who exposed magic and what do the elders and cleaners have to say," he stated slowly and calmly, even though he was going crazy on the inside.
"It was Wyatt," she said, eliciting gasps from everyone in the room, including those that are invisible. "He killed the cleaners and the elders. There's no one left to reverse the affect. He's already formed an army. He says he wants to bring about a magical order to rule the world. He's gone crazy. You have to stop him!"
The sisters were unable to hear the plan, because everything changed once more. "Are we back in our time?" Phoebe asked, looking around.
"No," Piper said, "We're back in the evil future. We didn't do any good," she mused, without humor.
"Chris, are you sure that…Piper?" Chris and Andy had just walked into the attic. "How are you here?"
"We're from the past. You probably don't remember coming back…" Piper started.
"We do," Chris said bluntly. "I cast a spell so that I would remember all of the futures and pasts. It was to make sure I knew if we succeeded. I guess we didn't."
"Listen, guys, I hate to interrupt this reunion, but we should get out of here, before a thousand demons join us," Andy warned.
"She's right," Paige said, "through the portal…everyone.
The five jumped through the portal, just as eight demons shimmered into the attic. "Just missed them. We should tell the Great Lord that they've gone to the past," a large, horn-covered demon stated to his cohorts, and they shimmered off.
