Thanks for the wonderful reviews, they kept me going, I don't own Charmed by the way. (wish I did)
Chapter 10: Preventing the End
Phoebe appeared in the empty living room of the manor. She immediately glanced at the grandfather clock to check the time. It was 5:26. She remembered them orbing in with Chris at about 5:30. She would see herself and her family appear any second now. Then she would warn them and stay until she was sure they were all safe. Then, providing the spell had worked properly, she would disappear, because her future wouldn't exist any more. She fidgeted nervously praying she would be able to save them.
Piper, Paige, herself, Penny, Pamela and Chris appeared at that moment. They stared, open mouthed, at Phoebe.
"That warlock stole my body!" yelled past Phoebe pointing at herself. Piper raised her hands to blow up present Phoebe. "STOP!" present Phoebe yelled, "I'm from the future".
"You can't be from the future", past Phoebe said, "we're wearing the same clothes."
"I'm from an hour and a half in the future", said present Phoebe, exasperated.
"You're lying", said Chris evenly. Pamela flicked her wrist trying to freeze Phoebe. She seemed relieved when Phoebe wouldn't freeze. "She won't freeze", Pamela said, "she's a good witch".
"She still could be lying", Piper argued.
Phoebe wanted desperately for her family to believe her. It was the only way to save them. The gravity of the situation hit Phoebe at that moment. She remembered the look in the demon's eyes as they murdered her entire family. She was at the top of the stairs, unable to do anything. Along with the obvious grief, she felt strong feelings of guilt. She couldn't take it anymore. She began to cry.
"Don't cry", said Piper, her face softening, wrapping her arms around her sister.
"I can't watch you die again", Phoebe sobbed, "I can't…" They froze t this statement. They had all except Phoebe apparently died. Phoebe had come to save them and they had treated her so badly. They followed Phoebe wordlessly to the attic. She told them quickly what had happened. They searched the Book of Shadows for the demons, knowing Barbas would arrive any minute. Phoebe flipped through the Book of Shadows until she found them.
The Glathmar Demon the heading of the page said. They are solitary demons, only joining forces for a particularly difficult target. A simple power of three spell will vanquish them. There was a spell at the bottom of the page followed by the picture of the demons. Phoebe couldn't look at it. It was too much.
At the moment the demons shimmered in. Phoebe ran at them. She didn't want this to end the way it had before. Phoebe, Piper and Paige joined hands and recited the spell. "Demon spawn straight from hell,
We vanquish you by the power of three,
You will not harm these Halliwells,
As it is said, so mote it be!
A wall of sheer power rushed towards the demons. The leader simply waved his hands and the power was pushed aside. 'It should have worked!' thought Phoebe
"I won't let you kill my family!" yelled Phoebe, again rushing at the demons.
"I won't Ms. Halliwell", growled the leader, "not this time". The demon touched Phoebe's arm and shimmered away.
They reappeared in a dark, dank, cave. They threw Phoebe against the wall, magic ropes binding her instantly. A man stepped from the shadows. It was Wyatt.
"Hello Aunt Phoebe", Wyatt said in an oily voice, "so nice of you to join me…"
