Chapter 7: The other girl from the future

"So… you're my daughter", Piper said slowly.

"No", said Pamela.

"You're my daughter", said Paige, voicing the though she'd been having since she'd laid eyes on the young girl.

"Yes… Mom", said Pamela rushing over to give Paige a hug. The five women looked silently at each other not knowing what to say.

"So", began Paige awkwardly, "tell us about yourself".

"Um… my name is Pamela Katherine Matthews , I'm 16 years old, one quarter white lighter. I can orb and I have the powers of molecular combustion and immobilization like aunt Piper. That's about all I can tell you without fear of future consequences."

"You sound like Chris", said Piper smiling, "come over here, we need your help".

Meanwhile, Chris was still in Wyatt's cave, bleeding profusely, an inch away from death. As he struggled for breath he whispered, "Dad…please…help me". Leo immediately appeared in a swirl of shimmering blue lights. He saw Chris on the ground and immediately rushed to his side. He held his hand over his son and it began to glow with a pulsating yellow light. Within minutes, Chris was heeled.

"Thanks…Dad", said Chris. Leo realized that his son had called him dad for the first time. He smiled. A swirl of sparkling orb lights filled the dark, dank, cave as the Charmed Ones , Penny and an unknown woman appeared. As Chris saw the unknown woman his eyes became wide.

"PAMELA!" said Chris, "What are you doing here?"

"I helped them say the spell to find you", said Pamela rushing over to give her cousin a hug, " they accidentally summoned me so I thought I could stay around to help get Wyatt back where he belongs."

"We'd better hurry", said Chris grimly, "he's going to come after us and he's teamed up with one pretty bad demon".

Wyatt stood in a particularly dark part of the underworld, obviously waiting for something. "Baby Halliwell, all grown up", said an oily voice from the shadows, "I wondered who had summoned me." A slimy looking ,pale, gray haired man with very crooked teeth emerged from the shadows surveying Wyatt with interest. "Hello Barbas", said Wyatt, a malicious grin spreading over his handsome face, "long time no see".

"Your greatest fear is that they save you" , said Barbas slickly, " then you won't be evil any more…"

"Slick as ever Barbas my old friend, although we have not yet met", said Wyatt smiling, " now I need you to.."

"Destroy them with their greatest fears", Barbas interrupted, "I'd be glad to Mr. Halliwell". With that Barbas shimmered out of the cave and Wyatt smiled a satisfied smile.

The Charmed Ones, Penny, Pamela, Chris and Leo had orbed back to the manor needing to consult the Book of Shadows. "I have an idea", said Pamela, "we can…" Suddenly she stopped, seized with a paralyzing fear. She fell to the ground…
