A/N: Like I said, these two will be short. But now…the moment of truth. After this chapter, it will be the final chapter. I have decided against an epilogue since I believe you all should be able to draw your own conclusions on the series, and leave you sort of hanging slightly.

Enjoy the second to last chapter of Goddess.

"The Girl From the Future"

The future can never be safe…

-X-

November 6, 2006

Phoebe and Coop stood looking to the woman before them. Phoebe looked to her stomach for a moment, before looking to Persephone again.

"Excuse me?" Phoebe asked, her eyes in bewilderment.

"I'm your daughter." Persephone responded.

"Prove it." Coop replied, knowing that strange beings are never to be trusted.

"Your Phoebe Halliwell, a Charmed One, and now a Goddess, the Goddess of Love. I am your daughter, and I am a half-god just like Parker and Victoria, who you are about to go up against, and because of this, you want to find a way to stop them by the eclipse." she explained.

"You could have gotten that from a history book. I heard about those." Phoebe said, though knowing she could be from the future, Chris has said that there were books about them in the future.

"Fine." Persephone replied.

She held out her hand, and on her index finger, a bright red stone gleamed in the faint light. Phoebe recognized it as a cupid's ring, it was the ring that Coop had given her when she was first asked to be the Goddess.

"You're my daughter?" Phoebe asked once more.

"Yes." her daughter said staring between Coop and Phoebe with a smile on her face.

The future had caused so much pain for her, that in this place, it seemed to be so bright and full of promise.

"Your name is Persephone?" Coop asked, twisting his face in confusion.

"Yes, mom wanted to satisfy the tradition of P's while embracing her goddess destiny." Persephone replied.

"Not that I am excited to see my future daughter, but why are you here?" Phoebe asked, sitting on the couch with Coop. Persephone sitting across from them.

"I am here to help you in the battle against Victoria and Christy." Persephone explained. "The future has turned to worse, without my interference." Persephone began, folding her hands across her chest. "When Chris came back from the future, he tried to stop the demon that turned Wyatt as you know well, but he didn't stop the right person, or being. It didn't change. Wyatt still becomes the Source of All Evil, allowing magic to flourish. It did not. Victoria takes over. She steals Christy's power, and with it, she uses her own to let magic appear in the mortal's eyes. The only problem is that she is the absolute dictator in this world. The eclipse brings her more power than ever before, not just her magic, but magic in the world.

"Victoria forced us all into hiding. We cloaked the Halliwell Manor, making it look like it was in ruins to hide us. As Wyatt grew older, he saw the power that Victoria possessed and he was attracted to it. So, they joined forces, and they were married when Wyatt was 21. I need to stop this from happening." Persephone explained, looking to the couple in front of her.

Persephone only told so much of the story. She did not tell them how her two sisters, Peyton and Patricia had died in their many attempts to stop Wyatt and Victoria. That their cousin, Melinda had joined the forces of darkness and turned against them, as well as their cousin Henry Jr. The darkness, the pain, the deaths, they were all going to end, even if she had to die in this time to do it.

"You need to go back." Phoebe said firmly, rising from her seat.

"No, I am staying here. I have to fight." Persephone explained, raising to her mother's eye level.

"Persephone, I must—" Phoebe started to say, and as she did, she turned to see the light in the sky fading. A large black circle began to creep its way into view, blocking the sight on the city, as the eclipse slowly approached.

Victoria and Christy stared at the window. They watched as the eclipse slowly made its way into view. Christy's eyes widened, and her smile crept from ear to ear.

"It's time." Christy said softly.

"I agree…" Victoria replied behind the firestarter. With a flash of light, Victoria conjured a small dagger and plunged it deep into her back. Feeling it hit right against her spinal cord. Victoria twisted the knife to hear Christy yell in pain and fury. In bright red light, Christy's energy went out of her body and flowed into Victoria's body, her body glowing in light.

Victoria pulled the knife from Christy's corpse and let it fall to the ground. Looking back to the coming eclipse, she smiled brightly, her eyes shining in the bright moonlight. Her eyes were pitch black, full of power and hunger.

"The time has come." She said, and smiling, she let out a laugh that made the mansion sound haunted from the ruined state it was in.
