Hey, I'm finally back w/ a new chapter. Sorry for the long wait everyone. Well, here's the next chapter

Chapter 9: Finally Knowing

Mel pulled away from Piper abruptly, "Something's up with Chris. We gotta go" Mel said, before orbing back to the manor with Piper.

"Chris let him go," Mel said sternly while pulling Chris back, after she and Piper materialized next to the guys

"He threatened Belle's life" Chris said seething. "He said if I harm Wyatt, I'll pay with Belle"

"And I meant every word" Leo stated. Chris tried to push past Mel to get to Leo, but Mel held him off

"Enough!" Piper shouted and everything stopped. "Leo, we need to talk" Piper said, and walked down the stairs with Leo following. Chris and Mel went into Piper's bedroom.

"Ugh, now Piper's going to tell Leo the truth about us. Can this day get any worse" Chris said frustrated. Chris looked over to Mel on the bed. "Hey, we're gonna save Josh and Bianca by saving Wyatt"

"I know I said we'll save Wyatt, but can we really? Can we really save him, what if he's too far gone. I mean he killed my husband because he was a mortal. How do we know it's not just inevitable?" Mel questioned

"Because, as much as I hate to admit it, it's just like Aunt Phoebe said, he's from 2 sources of pure good"

"I don't even know if I believe that anymore," Mel said. "I'm gonna go downstairs"

Kitchen

"There's no way, Chris cannot be son" Leo said

"Have you looked at him, Leo, I mean really looked at him?" Piper asked. "He's your son and Mel's your daughter"

"I can't believe this" Leo said in shock. "So Wyatt's really evil in the future?"

"I saw it myself. Our baby boy's lost and our other son and daughter are trying to bring him back. Not to mention Chris has a baby girl of his own" Piper said

"Do you know why he hates me?" Leo asked as everything finally began to sink in

"He doesn't talk about the future" Piper answered. "He barely acknowledges my existence" Piper added as Mel walked in

"Don't mind me" she said as she filled a glass with water. "Mom, do we have any aspirin?" Mel asked, grabbing her head

"Are you okay?" Piper asked, taking the back of her hand to Mel's forehead. "You don't have a fever" Piper responded, her maternal instincts kicking in

"My head's just pounding a little" Mel said. "Do we have any aspirin?" Mel asked again

Piper opened a draw and took out 2 pills and handed them to Mel. "Here you go"

"Thanks" Mel said and then took the pills with water. She closed her eyes for a moment

'Mel, Mel, can you hear us?' Mel heard in her head. Her eyes snapped open

"Ugh, I hate when they do this. It's always me, never Chris" Mel said aloud

"What are you talking about?" Leo asked

"Can you get Aunt Paige and Phoebe?" Mel asked Leo. "They should be at P3"

"Sure, I'll be right back"

"What's going on?" Piper asked

"We have to get Chris and go to the attic. It's just a message from the future" Mel said as they walked up the stairs

"Chris, the girls are contacting me," Mel said when they reached Piper's bedroom

"What? How can they even do that we're in a different time?" Chris said sitting up on the bed as Leo orbed in with Phoebe and Paige

"They're powerful and expert spell writers, they can do almost anything"

"Okay, okay" Mel said, starting up the stairs to the attic. Mel sat on the floor in the attic and closed her eyes

'Finally, Mel, what took so long' a voice said

'Abby, how did you guys do this?' Mel asked in her head

'We did what we do best, wrote a spell' another voice said

'Of course. Hey, Annie. Is Andie there?' Mel asked

'I'm here,' Andie answered

'Good, so you mind telling me why you guys felt the need to give me a headache'

'We cast a spell on Wyatt when he was still here, and found out something really important' Andie started

'How could you cast a spell on Wyatt without him knowing?' Mel interrupted

'Before we cast the spell, we did a hidden spell ritual' Andie answered

'So, how important is what you guys found out?' Mel asked

'How important do you consider knowing who turned Wyatt is?' Andie responded

'Are you serious?' Mel asked shocked

'Yeah, we came up with a spell to take a look through Wyatt's memories, we used our psychic link to help, too'

'So you guys really know who turned Wyatt? I can't believe this' Mel said

'We really know and you won't believe who it is' Abby called in

'So are you gonna leave me in suspense or tell me?' Mel asked impatiently

'It's Gideon' Andie said bluntly

'Gideon. Leo's mentor, Gideon? The elder Gideon?' Mel asked

'The one and only' Andie clarified. 'It seemed like he wanted to kill him, not turn him'

'I can't believe this' Mel said

'We couldn't either' Abby added in again

'Thanks, guys. I should tell the others, but before I go, can you guys tell me the spell you used to contact me, just in case?' Mel suggested

'Yeah. Powers of the witches rise,

Let me talk through the space and time.

To the one we wish to find,

To Piper Halliwell's female child' Andie recited

'And if I want to speak to you guys, I'll just change the last line' Mel thought

'Yeah, that should work' Andie responded

'Okay. Thanks, I gotta go' Mel said

'No problem' the girls said in unison. 'Bye,' the three said and killed the connection

"That was a long message, what'd they say?" Chris asked

"Who is it?" Leo asked

"It's Gideon" Mel said

"Gideon's and Elder, he would never do that" Leo protested

"Anyway, the girls said that it seemed like Gideon was determined to kill Wyatt" Mel continued

"That's not right, you're wrong. Why would my friend, mentor, and an Elder want to kill my son?" Leo asked

"I don't know, but they said it's Gideon" Mel answered

"Then they're wrong-," Leo began

"Look, Leo, if the girls say it is Gideon, then it's Gideon. Now that we know who started this nightmare, what's our next step?" Chris burst out

"Listen, I think we all need to calm down. We can start again fresh tomorrow after we sleep on it, okay?" Phoebe said to dissolve the tension in the room.

"Fine," Chris said abruptly, then orbed out

"Don't worry, he's at P3" Mel said, more to Piper than anyone else in the room. "You guys try to get some sleep, okay?" Mel said. "Leo, can I talk to you?"

"Yeah, sure" Leo answered, as the sisters left the attic. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I actually wanted to talk to you about Mom" Mel said.

I think this was a short chapter, but I can almost guarantee the next one will be longer. And I'm gonna be doing something with Wyatt probably next or after that.
