Chapter 2

"Well isn't everybody these days," Piper commented sarcastically.

"Maybe we should go now," Sheila said.

"We'll call a rain check on it," Darryl said.

Paige nodded as Darryl and Sheila walked out.

"You better start talking before Piper blows you up," Phoebe told Prue.

"Relax," Prue said. "I'm not evil."

Paige huffed. "We've heard that one before."

"I'm an aurora," Prue said.

"A what?" Piper exclaimed.

"An aurora. It's kind of like an ambassador to the mortal United Nations. Only I'm one of the many auroras for good, in a court called the Chamblan," Prue said.

"How come we've never heard of it?" Piper asked.

"Because the Chamblan consists of auroras from the good side and the evil side, working together to try to compromise," Prue said. "The Elders and the Source- when there is one- don't want anyone to know about it. It's a big secret."

"So is everything else," Phoebe replied.

"Why are you here?" Paige asked. "And what year are you from?"

"What year is this?" Prue shot back.

"2003," Piper replied.

Prue did a little calculating in her head. "About twenty years into the future. I'm from the year 2022."

"Who sent you here?" Paige asked.

"The Elders," Prue said.

"Why?" Phoebe asked.

"Because of the future, and how it is going to hurt the past," Prue said. "When you vanquished the Titans, you changed everything. One morning, the whole world woke up having good memories, and no memory of the Titans ruling, except for what they read in mythology books."

"But how do you remember the Titan rule?" Piper asked.

"In the Chamblan, I am the Chambliss, the runner of the whole court. I have extremely strong powers," Prue answererd. "So does my whole family. We were the only ones with memory of the Titans."

"How is the future going to hurt the past?" Paige asked.

"My father is an Elder, and so is my brother. I am an Aurora, and my mom was an extremely powerful witch. I had another brother, who was a Whitelighter," Prue began. "My brother had four friends, who were also Whitelighters. My brother and his friends weren't the nicest group. But they were helpful, until it all went wrong."

"How did it go wrong?" Piper asked.

"Before you all vanquished the Titans, we lived in a dark world. The Titans had killed my parents, so our parent's friends raised my brothers and me. But when you vanquished the Titans, I had memories of knowing my parents, and who they were and are," Prue said. "I know it is confusing, but you need to know this."

"What went wrong?" Phoebe asked.

"My brother fell in love with a charge, a witch named Jordan. Jordan was attacked by a demon, and died. My brother was furious, because the majority of the Elders wouldn't let him save Jordan. My brother's friends were furious as well, because they were brothers- my brother's friends- and Jordan was their sister," Prue continued.

"I don't see why we need to know this," Paige said.

"You will need to know it," Prue responded. "Anyway, a demon took advantage of the situation, and captured the five. He put them under this spell that turned them evil. But we didn't know this. Then murders started happening. Whitelighters, witches, and mortals were being killed. But then they attacked the Chamblan one day. And I found out my brother was one of them."

"Who need soap operas when we have this?" Piper muttered.

"They killed half of the good side. Only a few of them and myself managed to escape," Prue said. "I ran to the Elders, telling them. My father, my brother, the other Elders, and myself ordered them to be executed. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make. But the night before they were to die, they escaped to the demon that turned them evil. He sent one of them to the past, to kill my father, my brother, and me, before we could kill them. Then the Elders sent me here, to try to stop them before they all come, and then it will be too late."

"Book of Shadows?" Paige asked.

"You bet," Phoebe said.

The four walked up to the attic. Piper flipped open the book.

"What was this demon's name?" Piper asked.

"Davarclin," Prue replied.

"Work your magic Grams," Phoebe said.

The book started flipping, but turned to a blank page.

"What?" Paige exclaimed. "Why isn't he in here?"

"Maybe because we haven't come in contact with him yet," Piper replied.

"I wish we had Leo to ask," Paige said glumly.

"Maybe we could if our Whitelighter got himself down here," Phoebe said. "Chris! Get down here right now!"

"Chris?" Prue asked. "Leo? Who are they?"

"Leo is my husband, who is now an Elder," Piper said through clenched teeth. "And Chris is our new Whitelighter. Why do you have that look on your face?"

"No reason," Prue said unsurely. "No reason at all."
