ON WITH THE FICCIE
Chapter 3
Paige stepped into the foyer and hung her coat on the rack. Pushing her hair out of her face with a frustrated sigh, she walked towards the kitchen where she found her sisters sitting. Wyatt and Chris were sitting in the playpen playing with their toys. Paige smiled when she saw her nephews playing without a care in the world, and wished it would stay that way.
"Hey, how was work?" Piper interrupted her. Paige looked up at her eldest sister and sighed again.
"Ugh, I hate the irony. The stupid temp agency said that they would have the new job for me today, which they did. I go to it and I find out that the place that I was planning on working at is under construction for the next two weeks. So I drive back to the temp agency and they said I would just have to wait and to take the time off." She said in an irritated tone.
"Is that such a bad thing?" Phoebe asked slightly confused, she would have loved time away from the office.
"Usually no, but I wished they would have told me before I drove all the way across town and back" Paige said dejectedly.
"Sorry sweetie, if it makes you feel any better. I got to go home from work today early too!" Phoebe said smiling. Paige on the other hand was not amused.
"Very funny" she said sarcastically.
"So how was your day?" she continued asking Piper.
"Fine, but Wyatt has been acting weird?" Piper said absently.
"Which one?" Paige asked wryly.
"Little" Piper said mock glaring at her sister.
"Oh, so what has he done?" Paige asked.
"Nothing, that's the point" Piper said exasperated.
"Okay" Paige said confused.
"He has not ate since last night at dinner, and when she tired to feed him just before you came home, he her in. Paige wouldn't eat" Phoebe said filling nodded finally getting it.
"Are you sure he is just not hungry?" Paige asked.
"Yea, I said that too, but she said he should be hungry" Phoebe said as if Piper was not in the room.
"Guys, I am standing right here" Piper said annoyed that they were talking about her in third person.
"Right, sorry" Phoebe muttered smiling sheepishly. Paige nodded and looked back towards her nephews.
"Hey has anyone seen big Wyatt and Mason?" she asked suddenly.
"Attic" both Phoebe and Piper said at the same time, while turning back to their own stuff. Paige nodded and left the kitchen heading towards the attic, wondering how much progress her two nephew from the future had made.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Mason ran his hands through his hair and looked at his brother. They had been working for two days now, but nothing. Giving granted that Wyatt's memory of the demon was a little hazy he did remember that he had hands and looked human, although that narrowed the search down to every other demon in the book.
"Ok, so how do we find the demon if you can't remember who he is and what he looks like?" Mason said.
"Jeez give me a break, I was only seven" Wyatt said annoyed. Some people thought that he was just like superman, that during the day time he had this cool calm and when demons attacked he would turn into this demon fighting machine that knew everything, ok not so much like superman but the flying and super strength would be fun!
"Ok, well you have some time to remember" Mason stated. Wyatt looked at him not getting it.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because he is only five months old, and he is killed when he is five. We have four and a half years to find this demon and vanquish him" Mason explained annoyed at his brother's stupidity sometimes.
"Right, I knew that" Wyatt said smiling sheepishly. Mason just sighed and nodded his head in irritation. They both went back to their own work, Wyatt went flipping through the book and Mason started scribbling down notes. A voice interrupted them from their thoughts.
"Hey, have any luck?" Paige asked from the doorway. At their frustrated looks she took that as a no. She came over and sat down next to Wyatt and looked at both of them.
"Well, maybe you can say a spell. You know just go back through your memories and find out" Paige said.
"Wouldn't that be personal gain?" Mason asked in reply.
"Screw personal gain, we are talking about Chris's life or death. And if it makes you feel any better, your going back to save your brother, not to have fun" Paige said in an irritated tone.
"Ok, but for that kind of spell, we would need the power of three" Mason said trying to show her the logic, he was always the wary one when it came to spells.
"No, we don't. We have one Charmed one and with my powers and yours, we should be powerful enough" Wyatt said the light bulb clicking in his head. Paige nodded enthusiastically.
"I don't know, what if we screw it up?" Mason said still a little wary.
"What can go wrong?" Wyatt said. Mason finally nodded his head in agreement and both Paige and Wyatt smiled. Paige grabbed the notebook from Mason and started on the spell.
/Meanwhile in the kitchen/
"How do you think he died?" Phoebe asked looking at her youngest nephew.
"Pheebs, Wyatt told us how he died" Piper said not really wanting to go back to that subject.
"But aren't you curious, just to see it for yourself?" Phoebe said again.
"No Phoebe, I am not. I can barely think about it" Piper cried. Wyatt orbed the toy block that Chris had been sucking on over to him and took it for himself. Chris started crying when he did that, and Piper ran over to him.
"It's ok sweetie" she said picking him up and cradling him to her chest. Chris lifted his small hand and the block was orbed back to his mouth, and he stopped crying.
Wyatt scowled at his younger brother from across the room and orbed him. Piper cried when she felt Chris be orbed away by Wyatt and started panicking when Wyatt orbed himself in her arms.
Handing Wyatt to Phoebe she bolted to the attic where she knew Paige had went, she was the only one with the sensing ability, maybe except big Wyatt and Mason. (Authors note: Or so they think!)
When she reached the first floor she headed for the stairs that would take her to the attic but stopped. A loud cry reached her ears and she followed it until she found Chris lying harmlessly in his crib, crying his eyes out. Chris's cry, which was so close to the attic, brought the two brothers and Paige running into the room. They had also heard Pipers frantic running and thought it was a demon attack.
Sighing is relief; they looked as Piper cradled Chris tightly to her chest and closed her eyes.
"Is he ok?" Wyatt asked looking around the room expecting a demon to jump out of the closet and attack.
"Yea, you were just being jealous and orbed him away from me" Piper said still a little jumpy.
Wyatt nodded in relief that his brother was ok than walked over to his mother giving her a hug.
"I'm sorry" he said quietly.
"It's ok, I just need to have a talk with your younger self" she said than walked out of the room and back down to the kitchen where Phoebe was scolding little Wyatt.
"I'll do it" Piper said walking up to her.
"Do what?" Phoebe asked having no idea what went on upstairs.
"See his death, I want to know how it happened so I can send that murdering demon strait to hell" Piper said with fury in her voice. Phoebe nodded and walked over.
"Ok, so what I thought is that I will try and get a premonition on the event and this" she said showing Piper a vial with orange liquid "will let you see as well"
Piper eyed her sister suspiciously and wondered when she had the time to make this and how she knew that she would even need it.
"You sound like you planned this out!" she said holding the potion up.
"I did, well kinda. I was hoping that you would do it with me or I would go find Paige, but ever since we heard about his death we have been trying to stop it. Although Wyatt himself admitted to not remembering, than how are we supposed to be ready for the attack and save him, if we don't know who or what we are up against" Phoebe said all in one breathe.
"So I couldn't sleep last night, so I got this idea. If I could somehow get a vision of the future and make a potion that could let you guys see as well, than we can get the demon" she continued a little proud of herself.
Piper nodded and took the potion, than tipped it to her lips and poured it down her throat. It had a semi bitter taste and she winced as it hit the bottom of her throat.
"Ok, so we need something of Chris's" Phoebe said. Piper walked over and grabbed one of his baby shirts that she had been folding early this morning. Phoebe took it in her hands and felt…
Nothing.
She sighed frustrated that her brilliant plan did not work, but than she had never been able to call a premonition at will. She looked at Piper with an apologetic look, but only got a blank stare from her sister.
Piper was not ignoring her, she was thinking. What if the shirt was not powerful enough? What if they need something better? A light bulb popped into her head and she looked at her son in her arms. What if they used him?
"Sorry Pip- Phoebe started but was interrupted.
"What if we need to use something stronger than his shirt? What if we use him?" Piper said.
Phoebe saw what she meant. The shirt was probably not strong enough.
"It's worth a try" she said.
/At the exact same time in the attic/
Wyatt, Mason, and Paige held hands, standing in a candle lit circle. They were even more determined to find out who the demon was. Even though the demon had not and will not for four years. The time that they had to save him was constantly reminding them when it shall happen. To Paige it sounded like a giant time bomb counting down the minutes till it explodes. Together they said the spell:
"We call upon an ancient power"
"In this time and in this hour"
"To see the demon that killed our kin"
"Through Wyatt's memories we shall spin"
A gently wind started up and soon it turned from gentle to fast in a second. Still they did not break the connection in fear that they would ruin the spell. Soon the wind got so bad that they had huddle together so the wind would not blow into their eyes. Finally the wind died down and they pulled away from each other.
When they got a better look around the room, they noticed that something was wrong, very wrong. The spell was only supposed to show them his memories not take them into them.
/Kitchen/
Phoebe gently grabbed Chris from Piper and felt the familiar pull of a premonition, and Piper felt it too. The air shimmered around them and it felt as if they were being sucked into a vacuum. Finally the room stopped spinning and Piper rounded on her sister wanting an explanation, but she looked as confused as herself. They appeared to be in the manor, except it was different.
"Ok, what is going on here?" Piper asked.
"I don't know, we should have just seen a premonition not be taken somewhere" Phoebe said handing Chris back to Piper.
"Ok, what are we going…." Piper started to say but was interrupted by a small boy came running into the kitchen, he was maybe six or seven. The boy had sandy blonde hair and had hazel eyes. Looking around stealthy the boy walked over to the counter and reached for the cookie jar. After getting it he smiled to himself and sat down on the ground and opened the jar. They finally recognized the boy as little Wyatt, he was enjoying his spoils when an orb interrupted him.
"Wyatt, mom will be mad at you" another boy said orbing in front of him. The boy that just came in had bright green eyes and brown hair. He looked about four or five and they immediately recognized him as Chris. Piper gripped her son tighter to her body as she saw her future version of her son.
"Okay, I am guessing that they cannot see us" Phoebe said staring at her future nephews.
"Yea, but the question is how did we get here? Did you do the potion wrong?" Piper asked. Phoebe nodded her head no and was about to say something but future Wyatt and Chris started talking again.
"She's not going to find out, right Chris" Wyatt said sending him a hard glare.
"What if I tell her?" Chris said in his babyish voice.
"Than you will be dead" Wyatt said threateningly. (Authors Note: Don't worry, he's not evil. He is just a kid)
"Mom won't let you!" Chris replied sticking his small tongue out.
"Uh huh" Wyatt said standing up.
"MOM" Chris yelled running out of the room. Wyatt with his chocolate covered face ran out after him. Phoebe and Piper realized that they were being left behind and ran after them.
They didn't have to go far, in the living room. Wyatt and Chris were running around trying to get upstairs to where they guessed future Piper was.
"MOM" Chris yelled again dodging Wyatt around the couch.
They watched for a minute until they heard running coming from the stairs. Future Piper came running down the stairs.
"Boys stop running and yelling, you're going to wake Mason" she said entering the room. She was not alone, Older Wyatt, Mason and Paige came running behind her.
"Sorry" Wyatt and Chris replied and they stopped running. Older Wyatt smiled at his younger self and his brother.
"Now, what is this about?" Future Piper continued holding her hips.
Little Wyatt glared at Chris warning him not to tell. Chris just smiled evilly at him.
"Wyatt, what's on your face?" Piper asked in her son's silence.
"Nothing" Wyatt replied trying to wipe it off.
"Is that chocolate, did you get in the cookie jar?" Piper said in a scolding voice.
Wyatt didn't reply but just glared at Chris who was smiling.
She sighed in frustration and pushed some of her hair out of her eyes.
"Wyatt it's almost dinner, go clean yourself off and go play outside. And Chris go play with your brother. I just set Mason down for a nap, so don't wake him" Piper said.
"Yes mommy" Chris said than looked at Wyatt. Wyatt was glaring at him again and Chris took the hint to run out of the room. Wyatt chased him out.
Piper shook her head and left the room wanting to get a start on dinner.
Soon all that was left were the people from the past.
"You guys were so cute" Phoebe said walking over and pinching Wyatt on the cheeks.
"Yea, I am just sad because I was too little to remember it" Mason said smirking at Wyatt.
"Shut up" he replied smacking him over the head.
"Okay, no hitting" Piper sad scolding him, but her smile was still on her face from seeing Wyatt bond with Chris. She than remember why she was here and looked at them.
"Ok, where are we?" she said.
"Well Wyatt couldn't remember who killed Chris, so we came up with a spell to go through Wyatt's memories to see who did it. But we don't know why you are here? Maybe the spell was powerful enough to reach you guys down in the kitchen!" Paige said.
"Ok, that would make sense except it was not a power of three spell obviously and even with Wyatt's powers it would not have worked" Piper said shifting Baby Chris.
"What were you doing?" Wyatt asked confused.
"Phoebe was trying to get a premonition on what happened and I took a potion that would let me see what she sees. The air started shimmering and than Little Wyatt came running into the room" Piper said.
"So we must have casted our spell at the same time Aunt Phoebe got her premonition and our magic combined. So it took us into Wyatt's memories" Mason said thoughtfully.
"Must be, I guess all of us are going to see it" Wyatt said with a dreadful voice. His face paled as if he finally realized the damage it would do it him and the family.
"Wyatt, what's wrong?" Mason asked walking over and putting a hand on his shoulder.
"I don't want to see it again, I don't think I can!" Wyatt said with raw pain in his voice.
"Don't worry, we'll be with you" Mason said giving his brother's shoulder a comforting squeeze.
Everyone else nodded and the exited voices of little Wyatt and Chris could be heard faintly in the background.
"Come on we don't want to miss anything important" Mason said walking towards the back door.
