Chapter 5

The girls reappeared.

"Time travel really hurts!" Phoebe said when they appeared.

"Get used to it," Prue said.

"Prue, how come we can't see where we are?" Piper asked.

"Because," Prue replied. "We are in my time now. Who knows how we're altering history now?"

Paige heard Prue's footsteps across what sounded like a wooden floor.

"Alright," Prue said. "I got it. Let's go."

Before they could, the three heard footsteps coming.

"Quick!" Prue hissed. She pushed the Charmed Ones into a hidden corner.

Paige's eyes widened in shock beneath the blindfold as she heard the voices.

"It can't be," she thought. "Prue isn't.?"

"What are you doing here Prue?" an all-too familiar voice asked.

"I'm saving the past," Prue replied. "In order to do that, I need the Book of Shadows."

"Be careful with it," another familiar voice said.

"Come on. I'm nineteen, almost twenty," Prue replied. "I know how to take care of the Book of Shadows. Now go."

"Alright," another voice said.

"Blessed be sweetheart," the first voice said as they left. "Be careful."

"I will," Paige heard Prue say. She heard Prue shut the door.

"Alright, time to go back," Prue told them, pulling them out of hiding.

"Lets do it," Phoebe replied.

The girls began to chant:

"A time for everything,
And to everything its place.
Return what has moved through time and space."

The girls disappeared in a swirl of gold lights.

They reappeared in 2003 in the Halliwell attic.

"Why does time travel hurt so much?" Phoebe asked back in the attic as she removed her blindfold.

"Don't ask me," Prue said. "Ask the Elders."

"Whoa," Piper muttered as she flipped through the future Book of Shadows. "I can't believe some of this stuff exists."

"There's our demon," Paige said pointing to a page. "Davarclin."

"Vanquishing and summoning spells are right here too," Phoebe said.

"Shall we?" Prue asked.

"Yup," Piper said.

The girls began to chant:

"Magic forces black and white,
Reaching out through space and light.
Be he far or be he near,
Bring us the demon Davarclin here!"

"That is the same spell we used for Belthazor," Phoebe muttered.

Nothing happened. No swirls, no flying demons, and no boom.

"Why didn't it work?" Piper asked.

"Maybe because Davarclin is in another time, and he doesn't exist yet," Prue said.

"Now you tell us," Paige responded.

"Maybe there is something in here on how to free Leo from the prison," Piper said.

As she reached for the book, her cell phone rang. She took it out and left the attic for a second.

"Who's calling at this hour?" Phoebe asked, glancing at her watch.

Piper returned to the attic, a stunned look on her face.

"What is it?" Paige asked.

"That was Dr. Barns," Piper replied, slowly sitting down.

"What did he say?" Prue asked.

Piper took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant."
