"Oh My God!" – Phoebe said feeling sick, not believing what she just saw.
"He tried to kill himself? My son willingly almost ended his life?" – Piper had tears running down her cheeks. A mother's worst nightmare.
"I can't believe he would do that" – Paige said through tears
Before Leo could react and say something the scene changed.
The Manor was full of people wearing black. Hundreds of magical and non-magical beings with sad looks on their faces and tears in their eyes. All of them looked the same but there were a few that stood out in the crowd.
A little girl, starring at the picture of Piper Halliwell with a look on her face that was hard to read but everyone knew what it meant. She looked as if she couldn't cry anymore, as if she had cried all the tears in the world but was still about to start crying again any moment. Her world had just turned upside down. Her mother was death. Piper Halliwell was death. She couldn't believe it. She just couldn't imagine what life would be without her mother. Who would wake her up? Who would make her breakfast and kiss her goodbye before school? Who would yell at her when she tries to vanquish demons on her own or cast a spell? Who would help her with homework? Who would make sure she was safe? Who would she go to when she was sad or just needed a hug? Who would be that person in her life? The person who is her life. That just couldn't be right. Nothing was going to be the same. Everything just couldn't be changed in so little time. It didn't seem right. It didn't seem possible. She was at her mother's funeral, looking at her picture with text below saying
'Piper Halliwell – beloved mother, daughter, sister, wife and friend. Brave until her very end. Forever in our hearts. Be with those you've lost but never forget to watch over those who have lost you'.
Her aunts, her mother's close friends and people she had saved over the years wanted to write something to share the pain of losing her and the joy of knowing her.
'Piper Halliwell – The shy little girl who grown to be the most wonderful friend and the most caring person I have ever known!'
'Piper, you have been there my whole life. I have always had big sisters and I really don't know how to live without one. You and Prue were my only family for so long. You two were there when mom died and you gave me the love she would have given me. When Grams died, the two of you were there to give me all the advices and wise thoughts she always tried to make me listen to so that we could be prepared for the journey ahead of us. And when Prue died, I though that my worst fear has come to life. I though I would never feel that pain again. How wrong was I! Losing a sister is like losing a huge part of you. And I really don't know who I am without you.'
Little Prue's eyes filled with tears again and she turned around from the text. Just when she though it was impossible to cry more. Then her eyes stopped at something. 'The power of three will set us free' the text was signed by the magical community and suddenly Prue wasn't sad anymore. She was furious. She stood up and placed her hands in front of her concentrating on the 'prophecy'. Just as she was about to blow the f*uck out of it someone grabbed her and stopped her. She was trying to escape but her brother's hands just wouldn't let her go.
"Let me go, Wyatt!" – she yelled.
"No! Chris, I need a little help." – the blonde boy turned to his brother who was standing at the door with eyes full of hatred.
"I'd rather help her! 'The power of three will set us free' – what a joke. The power of three already set you as free as it is f*cking possible. Prue died. Piper died. Phoebe and Paige are not enough to set you free . Because the sisters are not three anymore! They died! They f*cking died trying to save the world because they were the mighty mighty charmed ones always trying to save everyone and getting killed at the end. Don't you think that's enough or will you not rest until every Halliwell is dead? You don't deserve to be saved! What the hell were you doing while my mother died? You were complaining about the stupidest things!" - Chris Halliwell's pain was gone. The only emotion left in him was hatred.
Everyone in the room was starring at him and his siblings with pity.
"Poor thing... These three are such a pathetic view... I feel so sorry for them... They lost only their mom but they are as good as full orphans... I heard the father wasn't around much... They will get crazy... We are doomed, they won't serve to the magical community, not after this... Who will protect us now? They look like they would rather hurt us... And they are supposed to be pacifists?!" The people on the funeral whispered to one another.

When the scene changed, they were at the attic in the Manor. At first they were expecting people to appear and another memory to be revealed but nothing happened.
"Quess that was all." - Paige said looking around
"Show's over" - Chris said gettin up from the couch.
"I will never buy tickets for it again" - Paige made an attempt to end the awkwardness.
"Look, I don't know what you saw but I'm sure it wasn't easy to see it. I'm sorry you had to go through that."
"You are sorry? Chris, sweetie, I am sorry you had to go through that, both of you. It is all my faul! I failed you! I failed the two of you and I failed Wyatt! This horrible future you come from is all my fault. If only I had been a better mom this wouldn't have happened. Apperantly, I was too focused on my Charm duties then my family. And because of that, I put you throuhg what I went through, through what your aunts went through, through what every single Halliwell went through. I turned into the one thing i never wanted to be - another Warren mother who left her children alone too young."
"It's not your fault, you know. And we don't blame you!" - Prue started. "You did what you had to do as a Charmed one, as a Halliwell. You followed your destiny. Saved the lives of millions innocent people. We, me, Wyatt and Chris, are proud to call ourselves your children."
"I'm sure you can't say that about me." - Leo said. "I am the one who should be sorry. I was there and did nothing about it."
"Can't blame you either. It's you future self." - Prue answered annoyed
"No matter whose fault it is, no one should have that kind of experience" - Phoebe interrupted before thing could get weird with Leo. "We are going to change this! I give you my word you will not have to go throgh that again!" - Her eyes were watered from the last memory. Yes, she wanted to change the future for her nephews and nieces but she also wanted to change it for herself. She didn't think she could handle losing another sister. Not again. Not ever.
So sorry this took so long! I know it's awful and short and stupid but all my ideas are out of my head and the only reason I published this is because I felt bad about not updating in such a long time. And as I said, my ideas about this story are gone/vanished/missing... so I really need your help. PM me or leave a review telling me what you want to happen next in the future chapters.
BTW, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd chapter of this story's sequel are ready and waiting to be posted right after 'For those who want the truth revealed' is finished.
