Dark future
Chapter 3
"Oh, no... Not God, Phoebe," the woman lowered her hood, showing her face.
"Phoebe?" Paige looked at her in surprise. It was Phoebe, she was sure. Her sister was older, she had some grey hairs and her skin was slightly pale, but she could recognize her in a flesh.
Phoebe nodded. "I have to say I didn't expect to see you here, sis... That girl, Bianca, is really stupid..."
"She was," Wyatt corrected her. "I had to kill her," he added with a smirk.
Phoebe laughed. "It was about time, I never liked her..."
Paige stepped back. What kind of freaking place is this? she thought. Her nephew was acting like a psychopath and her sister was obviously on his side. "For Christ's sake, what happened to you?"
Phoebe smiled. "You're still an innocent, don't you? I just realized that Wyatt is right, good and evil are just words. There is no good or evil, sis," she replied.
"How can you say that?" Paige asked in confusion. That woman wasn't talking like her sister. She was so bitter and cold...
She was evil.
Chris shook his head. "Forget it... She's evil, just like him..."
Phoebe smirked. "Oh, Chris... spare me from this crap. That's always been your problem. You never understood that it's all about power! Anyway, Wyatt should kill you for your betrayal... What the hell were you thinking? Did you really think you could change the future?"
Chris swallowed hard. "Wyatt, listen to me. Something happened to you... Let me help you... Let me go back to the past."
Wyatt rolled his eyes. "You really need to shut up, Chris. You won't go back to the past. You'll stay here, with your family... your real family, I have to say... Soon, I'll kill all the traitors. All of them... But first I need to send aunt Paige to the past," he said, turning his face to Phoebe. "Please, do it... erase her memories!"
Paige looked at her sister in disbelief, as she waved her hands to open the cage. A dark aura was surrounding her sister, causing Paige to shiver. "Please, don't..." she begged, looking hopefully at Phoebe's eyes.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you," Phoebe said with a smirk. "I'll just erase your memories of this day and send you back home."
Paige looked at Chris in despair. If they could send her back to the past without her memories, then the future wouldn't change and Wyatt would turn evil.
"No!" she screamed, punching Phoebe in the face.
"Paige!" Chris snapped, as Phoebe fell to the ground.
Wyatt rolled his eyes and formed an energy ball in his hand. "You really shouldn't do this!"
Chris didn't think twice. The cage was opened and it was his only chance to do something. He threw himself at his brother and they both landed on the floor.
Phoebe raised her head, looking angrily at her baby sister. "I'll kill you for this, Paige!" she snapped, picking herself up.
Paige breathed hard and kicked her in the stomach. Then she punched Phoebe's face, throwing her against the wall.
"C'mon, give me your hand," Chris shouted, as he managed to send his old brother against the wall.
Paige was fast and, before Wyatt or Phoebe could react, quickly took Chris' hand. Her eyes grew wide, as she felt the familiar sensation of being orbed away.
"Whoa..." she said, as they appeared in another place. "Where are we now?" she asked, looking around her.
They orbed into a large hall with a low ceiling.
Chris looked at her and sighed. "We're in the headquarter of the Resistance."
"Resistance?" Paige frowned.
Chris gave her a short nod. "It's probably the last safe place on Earth. Don't worry, this place is well protected. Wyatt and Phoebe won't find us," he said walking to a door.
Paige watched curiously, as he waved his hand and the door opened. "C'mon," he said and she followed him.
Paige smiled, as she recognized the living room of the Halliwell manor.
"It's not the original living room of the manor... It's only a replica," Chris quietly explained, as he saw the confusion on her face.
Paige nodded. "So... do you live here?" she asked.
"With the other members of the Resistance..." he said.
"Paige?" suddenly a man walked into the room and the youngest Charmed One turned her head to see him.
"You... Are you alive?" she asked, her face contorting in confusion and anger.
The man rolled his eyes. "Damn, Chris! You shouldn't bring her with you!"
Chris raised his arms and shook his head. "It's not my fault! Bianca..." he stopped for a moment, the pain clearly in his voice. "She went to the past to bring me back. Aunt Paige followed me through the portal. That's why she's here..."
Cole Turner looked at them in concern. "Bianca? But why?"
"Wyatt tricked her... He killed her," Chris said with a sigh. "He almost... Well, we managed to orb out of his prison."
Cole shook his head. "We need to send Paige back to the past..."
"Someone can explain to me what's happening here?" Paige asked in frustration. "What are you doing here? We vanquished you! How'd you manage to survive?"
"It's a long story," Cole said with a smirk. "We really need to send her back!" he added, shooting a glance at Chris.
