Previously-

I went to stand up when Leo came over. His hand started glowing as he tried to heal me.

"Why do you keep trying to heal me?" I asked, leaning into the cushions.

"I want to make sure you're okay." I looked at him.

"I'm fine. Just tired. I need to go." I went to stand up but felt a pressure on my shoulder. I looked to Chris.

"You need to slow down. You used a lot of energy on Wyatt."

I turned to look at Wyatt and sighed.

"I hate using that power." I leaned my head back on the back of the couch and felt myself fading into darkness.

Now- LeoPOV-

I saw Mel relax into the cushion. Chris looked at her before lifting her into his arms and heading for the stairs. We all stared after him and followed him as he took her to his room and laid her on the bed. He covered her with a blanket and kissed her forehead.

I watched Chris take care of his sister, and I saw that he knew we were there by the set of his shoulders, but I also saw the hard mask that he wears slip and saw the worry on his face.

"What's wrong Chris?" Phoebe asked as she walked into the room and laid a hand on his shoulder. He tensed for a spit second before relaxing.

"Last time she used that power, it almost killed her. She used too much energy and caused an aneurysm to rupture in her brain. I couldn't help her." The pain in his voice was palpable.

"How did she survive?" I asked, looking at my children that I didn't know that I had until a few hours ago. He looked at me for a moment before he sighed.

"Her fiancée, Dakota, is a Whitelighter too. He healed her, but he said it was close."

"But this time is different, Chris. You told her to use your energy. She'll be fine." He shook his head.

"She would never risk someone else's life. I know she didn't use my energy, because I feel fine." I whipped my head toward him.

"Then why did she stop me from healing her?" I said, as I leaned in and hovered my hand over her head, and it started glowing instantly. The glow faded after a few seconds.

"She feels like a burden when someone has to help her." He said, holding his sisters' hand. "But she will do anything to help the people she loves."

The next day

We had finally relaxed enough to think on everything that happened in the last 24 hours. Well I did.

"Why would she think that she's a burden?" Paige voiced what we all were thinking. That was the part, other than the fact that I have two other children coming soon that my thoughts had been rolling around.

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out." Piper said and headed back upstairs. We all followed her into Chris' room. We saw that he had not moved much from his spot next to her. He had taken up residence on the other side of the bed with a book yesterday when we left the room.

"Chris, we have some questions." Paige said. He marked his page and put the book down.

"So ask. I can't ruin the future anymore than I already have." We all looked at each other before I stepped forward.

"Why does she feel like a burden when she needs help?" I asked, and he looked like he wasn't going to answer.

"Chris, answer the question." Piper said, and he looked to her before sighing.

"Being treated like you don't matter by everyone takes its toll after a while." He said, but when he said everyone he looked at me.

"Is that what I did?" I asked, fearing the answer but needing to know how to change the future that my children have lived.

"You have to be around us for that to happen?" Chris almost hissed at me.

"I wasn't around."

"You were…for mom, Wyatt and half the world. But you weren't there for us. You didn't have TIME." I hung my head, for the actions that led to my son and daughter feeling this way. Actions that have not even happened yet.

"So maybe you came back from the future not just to save Wyatt, maybe you came back to save all of us too."

"I came back because I agreed with Mel that this was the best way to save Wyatt. To come back before it even happened. To prevent it. I would be happy if I never saw you again." That was a punch in the gut.

"That's not true Chris, and you know it." I heard my daughter say. I looked to her.

"It is true Mel."

"No, it's not. You just don't want to admit the real reason you're saying this stuff." He looked at her with a glare.

"Oh, don't glare at me, Chris, when you know I'm right." She said.

"Just because you have found a reason to overlook the hell we went through because of him, doesn't mean I haven't." Her head snapped up before rolling off the bed, and turning to face him.

"That's what you think I did? Have you forgotten EVERYTHING?" The cryptic talk was getting old, and I needed to figure out how to fix this.

"No, I haven't but it seems…." Jut then we saw a bolt of something hit Mel's back and she flew forward. Chris caught her and they fell in a heap on the floor.

"Mel? MEL?!" Chris said, shaking her. She began to stir. She shook her head before looking up as we heard.

"Mel?" We heard someone say in a fake nasally voice, and we looked up to see…

"Wyatt?" She said, looking shocked. "How did….?"

"You really think I didn't find a way around your little power?" Wyatt said and black orbed in front of her. Chris tried to get in the way, but Wyatt threw him across the room with a wave of his hand.

"Chris!" Piper called and ran to him, while Paige, Phoebe, and I turned our attention to Mel. Wyatt had her by the throat. She drew her hands up and slammed them down on his ears. He cussed and grabbed his ears. She threw her knee into his face. He grabbed her hand and pulled her arm around to her back and wrapped his other around her neck.

"NO!" Chris yelled and went to run after them. Wyatt's hand came up from behind Mel's back and Chris began to levitate in the air grabbing at his throat.

"Time to go home, sis. The ring is calling you name." Wyatt said while going toward a portal I didn't eve see opening.

"I'll do whatever you want but let Chris go." Chris then came crashing down he coughed as he grabbed his throat and trying to get up.

"Mel No. What about Koda?" Chris went to run at the portal, but Mel and Wyatt were already through and the portal closed. He fell to the ground.

"What is the ring?" Phoebe asked.

"It is a ring that demon go to fight for the chance to get on Wyatt's good side. They say last one standing, but no one ever backs down. She just allowed herself to be pulled to her death." We all looked at each other.

"What is this?" Paige said. I looked to see a piece of paper. She handed it to me.

"This looks like a spell to project us forward, along with a time."

"He had all this planned." Chris whispered.

2 hours later

We looked and saw the time.

"We need to cast the spell." We all nodded and the girls cast the spell. I looked around at where we landed and saw a crowd of people and a padded floor.

"The ring." Chris whispered. We looked around and saw Wyatt sitting in a chair reminisint of a throne, and Mel and another girl standing on the floor staring each other down.

PaigePOV-

Wyatt stood up and the crowd silenced.

"My sister, Mel" he said motioning Mel who was wearing a light pink sports bra. "And I have made a deal if she wins then I release all of my hostages and never harm them again. But if her opponent wins then I get to chose her punishment."

"Why would she do this?" Before we had time to ponder the ref made a sign and her opponent ran at her swinging her arms around. It lasted a few minutes before we thought the match was over. Mel laid there with blood coming out of her mouth. She sat up for a moment, and made eye contact with a man in the cages, before her opponent got on top of her and hit her face for a few second before getting up and facing the, who I assume were the judges, while raising her arms like she had not just beat our niece to death. We had to hold Chris back from running to his sister.

"MEL!" One of the hostages yelled. I looked at him.

"Is that?"

"Yes, that Koda." She laid there for a moment and the ref was about to name the demon the winner when Mel stood up. They fought again for a few minutes before both were on the ground. Mel slowly lifted her head, when the judges called her as the winner. She then laid her head back down before her body went completely limp.

It was completely quiet for a moment before Wyatt nodded and one of the guard by the cages and they nodded and slowly opened the gates.

"Mel!" Koda yelled, and ran to her side. Last thing we saw before we were pulled away was The man's body erupting in orbs. (Watch video from 18:10-22.33)
