Chapter 7
"Mom we need to go, but the source will come after you, you can handle him right?" Wyatt began to become worried over his mothers safety.
"Honey, don't worry we will take care of everything from here. Okay I have written a spell, this should send you back to your time, but you will have been gone the same amount of time because I don't know how to re phrase it but it will do"
"No that's okay Mum, we already have one, future you gave it to me to use to get home."
"Oh right okay, well I guess this is goodbye, I'm so glad I finally got to meet you Melinda" Paige placed her palm on Melinda's chin and smiled fondly, Piper and Phoebe had once travelled to the future with Prue, where little Melinda was, but Paige never got to see her. All the sisters and their husbands, Billie, baby Wyatt and Chris where all in the Attic saying there goodbyes to The Enchanted One's.
Wyatt, Chris and Melinda all formed a triangle holding hands with candles surrounding them. Melinda then froze her surroundings, except for Billie.
"What if a demon attacks?" Billie looked worriedly at the frozen figures.
"That's why we have to be quick. I'm not even sure how long they will be frozen for. I've been practising since I've been here but my freeze still isn't that great."
Chris approached Billie, he held her hands and looked into her eyes. Billie's eyes where filled with tears, yet she wasn't letting them fall from her eyes, she quickly wiped away a tear before it was noticeable and straighten herself up.
"So are you going to make them all forget?" Billie was trying to deny the fact Chris was leaving, Chris could feel how she was feeling.
"Yea, they should forget all about me Wy and Mel, but they will remember stuff in between, like appointments and stuff." Chris finally said.
"How are you so sure?"
"Coz I wrote it" He embraced Billie. "I'm gonna miss this"
"Which?"
"Us"
"Well there's a changed future now, like I know I will be old but it could work out.. Somehow?"
Chris pulled Billie towards him he gently stroked her face and he passionately kissed her. After a few moments he broke away from the kiss but maintained his eye contact with Billie.
"Forgive me" He sincerely said then he kissed Billie softly on her forehead.
"For what?" Billie was confused.
Chris stepped away from Billie and nodded at Melinda.
"I'm so sorry Billie" Melinda said then she froze Billie.
"Dude are you okay?"
Chris looked at Billie's frozen figure he whispered 'goodbye' into her ear, he then faced Wyatt. "I'm always okay, lets get this over and done with"
"Right as soon as we say this spell the freeze will wear off, so I will orb us to magic school, where we can then say the other spell to send us home. Ready?"
Both her brothers nodded and reformed the triangle. Chris handed Melinda and Wyatt the spell and they began to chant away: "From the power within, to save the future, help the past to be the same, the evil that was stopped, will still remain, but the chain of a events, will become unseen." White lights formed around the frozen Halliwell's.
"Did it work?" Wyatt whispered looking quickly at the frozen family.
"I don't know, but look there unfreezing" Chris replied.
"Quick lets get out of here!!" Melinda panicked and grabbed her brothers by the arms and orbed out of the attic.
The scene that The Enchanted Ones left unfroze.
"Well Paige are you going to orb me to magic school or not? I'm already late as it is" Leo looked at his watch, he was twenty minutes late for a lecture.
"Alright already just give me a second."
"Honey why are you late? Actually why are we all in here? The boys school be at school, what's going on?"
"I cant remember, me and Phoebe drove here and headed up to the attic but I don't know what for." Coop looked confusingly at his wife Phoebe.
"Well the candles are out so…"
"Oh I remember we where summoning Grams to tell her that I'm pregnant!"
Everybody seemed to 'remember' and there was a chorus of 'aahhh's' in the attic.
Paige orbed to Magic school with Leo, the rest left for the kitchen. Phoebe turned around and looked at the attic suspiciously, she noticed the book of shadows was open, with a brand new entry, title 'To Erase A Major Event', it said: For a witch seeking chain of events to be forgotten this spell can be used, only when necessary.
The witch must focus on the task and say the following spell : "From the power within, to save the future, help the past to be the same, the evil that was stopped, will still remain, but the chain of a events, will become unseen." Take care, much love T.E.O.
Phoebe tried to figure out what T.E.O stood for, she assumed it was from the Elders. "Hmm weird" she closed the book and left the attic.
Halliwell home in England, 2023
The Enchanted Ones re-materialised in front of Piper and Leo.
"And where the hell have you three been? I've been calling you for the past hour! Dinner has gone cold now!"
"Mom, your okay?" Wyatt hugged his mother.
"Oh don't try and charm me now Mister, where have you been?"
"To the past, you sent us there…to stop Mercuthio?"
"Who is that?"
"Oh really and you just orbed your asses from the past to the future."
"No we didn't…but… Mel did."
"Wow, I…I guess I did, how is that even possible?"
"Well the elders said your orbing wasn't ordinary" Chris reminded her
"Mum, Dad does the name Mercuthio mean anything to you?" Wyatt was anxious to see if all had worked out.
"No, wait..wait, isn't he out one of William Shakespeare's stories?" Leo exclaimed
There was a burst of laughter.
"Look I don't want to hear anymore of this nonsense, go in the kitchen and grab your dinners." Piper ordered. All three siblings quietly left the living room and went into the kitchen.
"How weird is that?" Mel whispered.
"I know, why do we still remember though?" Wyatt asked Chris
"Because we where part of events, the only reason Mom and Dad don't know is because we cast that spell on them."
"So is he dead?" Mel asked eagerly
"Looks like he doesn't exist now" Chris said with a sense of relief.
"Whoa I cant believe he actually gone now, it seems so unreal, like we actually done it, but know one knows how much we have saved good magic." Mel was disappointed that her efforts were unknown
"Yea well at least we know." Wyatt said comfortingly
All three siblings smiled and entered the dining room to eat there dinners.
