A Little Spell
After future Leo had spoken there was a dead silence in the room, the people from the past didn't know know how to react to Leo's declaration, while Chris and Melinda could not believe that Leo was on their side.
"What's wrong with you?" Piper asked to the future version of her husband.
"Listen Piper, I know that it's hard to understand," began future Leo "And I know that if I were you I wouldn't believe me either but..."
"No, it's not possible" Piper said interrupting him "Wyatt is the Twice Blessed child, the son of a Charmed One and a white lighter. It's not possible, he can't be evil!"
"But what is!" intervened Chris looking at his mother "Although, he doesn't think so" he murmured.
"But how did that happen?" asked Phoebe wondering what could be such a huge thing for her nephew to change his morality.
"Phoebe don't tell me now you believe it!" Piper said annoyed with her younger sister before "I mean this is obviously another of Chris' lies!"
"Piper you saw the city, you can't deny it now, it looks like a battlefield" answered Phoebe to her sister's remark.
"Well, yeah. But that doesn't mean that Wyatt has done it" said Piper, desperate for someone to understand her.
"And the fact that his own father admits it mean nothing?" intervened Melinda starting to get angry toward her mother's stubbornness.
"Don't you dare to talk about my son!" Piper snapped angrily to her future daughter.
"Your son? Your son is no longer an innocent baby, he is a monster who thinks he can do and undo at his will just because he has the power to do it" replied the younger witch now angry as well.
Piper Halliwell was not a tolerant person, usually her temper took the best of her but eventually she managed to control herself, or at least tried to. But if it meant Wyatt, she did not allow anyone to talk about him.
"How dare you?" Piper yelled with a glaring at her full of hatred, and to the shock of everybody she slammed her hand across Melinda's face, so strong that she turned it to the opposite side.
Because it all happened so fast, no one could process it yet, or maybe it was just that they did not want to believe it, but the fact was that and nobody said or did anything, the picture was frozen. Henry could have sworn that her aunt Piper had made her particular hand gesture and frozen the room. But no, it had really happened.
Chris had been through a lot in his life, had experienced the rejection of his father, the death of his mother, the extreme change of his brother; had succeeded in creating an organization against his brother, he had travelled back in time to face the hate of his dead family, to change the future. He had done the unthinkable, and lived the unspeakable, Chris had accepted the fact that anything was possible. And yet he had never tolerated that someone would touch his sister, not even his own mother.
Chris could feel his muscles tense, then a current of electricity through his body; everything that had happened since he went to the past, all the distrust, the threats, the hatred, everything seemed to come at once.
"Chris" said Parker in a warning tone, Chris looked at her, then at his hands which were into fists, they emanated electricity "Don't do it!"
Parker knew her cousin very well, she knew that when it came to family, especially Melinda, he would do anything. She feared that Chris would do something stupid, like attacking his own mother.
"Mellie" Chris said back to reality, Melinda was still in the same place, looking at her mother as tears rolled down her cheek, she was angry and hurt. Chris approached to her, she looked at him for a second and then her posture changed from a frightened little girl to a woman who commanded an organization against the Source of all evil.
"I'm fine" she said trying to her brother, but rather seemed she was trying to convince herself "I'm fine" she repeated.
"Piper" said Paige surprised, apparently just getting out of shock as the others did "What happened with you?"
"I ... I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to ... I just..." stammered Piper staring at the girl who she just slapped.
If looks could kill, Piper would be dead.
Melinda had tried to keep her distance from them since they arrived, she was dislodged from her leadership role, but this time her eyes were cold and distant.
"They don't believe us" said Melinda slowly looking at their guests "Well, let's show them something they can't deny!"
Before anyone could say anything she began to chant:
Life to life
And mind to mind
Our spirits are now in rhyme
We sync our souls
To travel to whom
We want to see in truth
As soon as Melinda ended the spell Piper, Phoebe, Paige, past Leo, Chris and herself fell unconscious to the floor.
"What have you done Melinda?" exclaimed Parker.
