a/n: Hello all! Now about this next chapter, I have worked very hard on it,
changing things over because even though I liked what I had written I
wasn't sure if it was the right way to go with it. I hope you all like
this even though I am well aware that most of you are big Cole fans. I am
not, I liked the Cole story but in my opinion it's over now and he's dead,
so Cole will not be appearing in my story. And again thank you for the
positive reviews! I was very reserved about posting this story because I
don't like sharing these things with people I don't know too well. But I'm
happy I did! And Debbie I hope you had a better day, I'm glad I at least
made your B-day a little better! But anywho..on with the story!!! Hope you
like!
Chapter 5
The present.
As Isabelle came to the stairs there was a knock on the door. Paige standing closest to the door opened it and Jason stood there. "Hi, is Phoebe here?" he asked smiling at Paige. "Uh." she stammered looking back at Isabelle. Phoebe appeared in the hall as Isabelle turned around. She paled at seeing Jason in the doorway. "Phoebe, there you are!" he exclaimed at seeing Phoebe. Following both of Paige's and Phoebe's gaze he saw Isabelle standing on the stairway, "Hi I'm Jason." He said smiling.
Whatever color was left in her face disappeared when he addressed her. She stared at him for a moment, not believing that he was actually alive and standing in front of her. Isabelle was so torn at that moment, both wanting to run to him and give him a huge hug but knowing she couldn't. She glanced at Phoebe before finally turning and running upstairs.
"What was that all about?" Jason asked.
"Uh.she's our cousin!" Paige said looking back at him smiling. "Very shy, doesn't like strangers much."
"Jason.I think we gotta talk." Phoebe said.
"I'll go check on Isabelle. Excuse me." Leo said walking up to the attic himself.
"Think I'll go with Leo!" Piper said picking up Wyatt.
"Me three," chimed in Paige following them upstairs leaving Phoebe and Jason alone.
"Did I come at a bad time Phoebe?" he asked.
She sighed, "Jason, I have something very important I need to tell you about me."

They found Isabelle in the attic, sitting on the couch. It was evident she had been crying, she sat there staring off into nowhere, lost in thought. "Honey are you ok?" Piper asked her putting a hand on her shoulder. Isabelle looked up at her frowning. She looked as though she was being pulled from another place forcefully. After a few moments she pulled away. "I'm fine.I just.I just wasn't expecting to see him, I shouldn't have seen him." She said closing the door to her thoughts as she stood up and walked over to the book.
"Isabelle, it's ok for you to let it out-" Paige began but was immediately cut off by Isabelle, "No! No it isn't, right now I need to concentrate on getting to Chris. I don't have time to deal with that now, and hopefully I won't ever have to."
"She's right, Chris has got to be the top priority right now, he needs us." Leo said. Isabelle looked at him a little shocked to hear him say that. Leo noticed the look of shock on her face but ignored it as he continued, "I think we should start with why he was in Phoebe's premonition."
"No, that doesn't matter. Besides, he had every right to be there anyways."
"And why is that?" he pressed her, "Chris isn't a part of this family."
"What do you mean-" she started angrily catching herself. Now was not the time for that. Isabelle had a tendency to say the first thought on her mind when she was pissed. After several seconds she regained her composure and said, "Phoebe's premonition doesn't matter right now, if you're going to help me then start with what happened after I was knocked out."
"Wait, Paige didn't that demon say something before he disappeared with Chris?" Piper asked.
"Yeah.he did."
"What?" Isabelle asked impatiently.
"Something.something about.winning.and someone was waiting for him.I think." Paige responded trying to remember. It had all happened so quickly, she couldn't remember.
At hearing that Isabelle quickly opened the book, paging through it, searching for anything that would help her get to him. "What are you doing?" Leo asked. She ignored him, continuing to page through the book. "Isabelle, what are you looking for in there?" he asked again this time putting his hand on the book. She looked up at him, clearly pissed off.
"Why don't you just leave me alone so I can find Chris?" she asked coldly.
"We need to know what you're doing so we can help you." He answered in the same cold tone of voice.
"Help? Now you wanna help?" She said incredulously. She couldn't believe him. After all this time, Isabelle still couldn't help but be angry at Leo for what happened. Leo could've done something to stop him but he wouldn't listen, again he ignored his younger son believing Wyatt could do no wrong. But in the end, it was Wyatt who had turned; he was the one who attacked the Elders, and whitelighters. He killed every witch who would oppose him in his quest for ultimate power; he killed off their family, and her father, not Chris. In the end Wyatt could do wrong, and Isabelle blamed Leo for it, because he wouldn't listen to Chris when he could've saved them all.
"Of course I wanna help! We all do, believe it or not. Chris is trying to save Wyatt from whatever danger happens to him in the future and now he's in trouble. We at least owe him our help after all he's done for us!" he said starting to lose his patience. "Maybe if you just told us what was so horrible about the future we could stop it here and now!"
The look on her face softened. Despite all the anger she had towards him, he was her uncle and she did still love him. She sighed, "You can't know too much about your own future, it could seriously mess up the timeline, and you know that."
"But isn't that what you and Chris are trying to do, change the timeline?" Paige asked.
"Chris was trying to do a surgical strike, so he wouldn't be changing too much just enough to make things the way they were supposed to be."
"But either way, that's changing the timeline." Piper said. "I mean when Prue, Phoebe and I went to the future, I had a daughter, but Prue died, and that timeline changed. I had Wyatt instead. It doesn't really matter what you do while trying to save something, it still changes the original timeline."
"Let us help you Isabelle, you know you can't do it alone. Who is this person you and Chris are so afraid of? Why is the future so bad? What demon gets to Wyatt?" Leo pressed her. She looked back at Leo, and held his gaze.
"Izzy," Paige said tentatively, "if Phoebe's been getting premonitions about this future already, maybe we're supposed to know so we can change it."
She looked at Paige in shock, hearing her aunt call her Izzy again was so strange. It had been so long since she had last heard her auntie Paige call her Izzy.
"She's right," Leo said hesitating, "Izzy."
Meanwhile downstairs.
"Jason I think you better sit down." Phoebe said.
"Is there something wrong Phoebe?" he asked clearly confused.
"Oh God, I hope not. Um, Jason there's something you really should know about me and about our baby."
"Is there something wrong with you and the baby?" he asked immediately growing concerned.
"No! No, there's nothing wrong with me or the baby Jason."
"Then what is it?" he asked again.
"Well Jason, have you ever believed in magic?"
"What do you mean?" he asked smiling thinking he knew where she was going with this.
"I mean magic, magical things like fairies, and unicorns, witches and demons."
"Come on Phoebe, you know witches and all that stuff isn't real."
"Actually they are Jason, they are very real." She sighed continuing, "I know because well I'm a witch with magical powers. I've fought demons almost everyday for the last 6 years now to help protect the innocent."
"You're kidding? Right?" he said very skeptical of what she was saying.
"No, Jason. I'm serious." With that she levitated into the air then back down again.
"How did you do that?" he asked in shock.
"With my powers, I can levitate...remember all those times I acted really weird, or had a family emergency?"
"Oh my God, Phoebe...what you're saying is.."
"I know Jason, I know, it's hard to believe but it's true, all of it is. Piper and Paige they both have powers too, they're witches like me."
"How did you..?"
She knew what he was trying to ask, "My family, magic is in my family. It has been passed down from generation to generation. All of my ancestors before me, including my mother, and my grandmother were witches."
"So what you're saying is...our baby is gonna be like you too?"
"Yes. Jason, I know how you're feeling right now, I know how confusing and unbelievable this all must seem but I'm still the same person, and our baby is still gonna be perfect. In fact she'll be even better then perfect." Phoebe was using her empath power to the max right now and she knew that despite how shocked he was Jason did believe her.
"What about that girl? You're cousin? Is she a witch too?"
Phoebe remained quiet for a moment debating whether or not to tell him the truth. She decided against it, "Yes, she is. Magic is in my entire family on my mother's side."
After a while Jason said something just for the sake of saying it, this was too incredible, "Wow..um Phoebe this is a lot to take in."
"I know, Jason, believe me I know. It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to tell you. It's something that every one of my ancestors has probably struggled with."
"Phoebe..I...I don't know what to say. I need to think about this for a while."
She sighed, "I understand, Jason. Maybe you should go."
After a few moments Jason agreed with her. He thought it was best to leave and be alone to think about this and try and comprehend what Phoebe was saying.
