a/n: I think I mentioned it once before but Paige's kids were named
Prudence, Patricia, and Penelope; after family members she had never known
in life. For my purposes they were very young when they died, hardly
developed their powers so they still weren't very powerful by the time they
died. It's explained..sort of in the chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 12
Isabelle stood there, not looking at Wyatt and barely listening to what he was saying to her. Even now, when it looked hopeless, she was contemplating a means of escape. "When will you just accept your destiny Isabelle? You, Chris, and I are all meant to work together."
"Work together in what? Making the world a horrible place? Sorry Wyatt but I won't contribute to that in any way, shape, or form. Our ancestors didn't want this."
"What did they want then Isabelle? Look at the family line, Melinda Warren, burned at the stake because of what she was, and for what? For the greater good? There is no difference between good and evil! It's all the same thing, power. For generations we have been hiding in fear of those without power! They should be hiding from us!" he shouted.
"Your mother didn't raise you to believe that." she said with a note of bitterness in her voice.
"My mother and yours along with Aunt Paige and Aunt Prue, all died trying to hide what they are! Can't you see that we don't have to live in fear anymore Izzy?" he replied passionately.
"Instead it's the other way around. People are afraid of us! Is that what you really want?" She answered.
Wyatt took out Excalibur and walked over to her, "Take it," he said holding it out to her, "feel its power. The power we are destined to control, not them. If they fear me, us, they should. They should be afraid of the power we possess and they should respect it!"
She frowned as she looked up at him. "If you think I want any part in that then you're sadly mistaken, Wyatt. I don't want people to fear me."
"You don't understand. You and Chris will never understand because neither of you know what it's like to have the kind of power I do. But you could Isabelle, you and Chris could have it all and so much more if you just accept who you are, who you were born to be!"
"I have accepted who I was born to be, Wyatt! The question is, have you? You turned your back on your destiny long ago and Chris and I have been trying to steer you back to it!"
"I don't need any direction Isabelle!" he replied grabbing her arm. Wham! She received a premonition of him and Morian:
"It's all about power, the power you have, and the power your family has. Think what you could have with all that power. You wouldn't have to live in fear from everyone else anymore, Wyatt." Morian was saying as he circled Wyatt who had been holding Excalibur in his hands staring at it. "You know what your destiny is Wyatt, take hold of it!"
"My family.."
"Should live in a world where they can freely practice magic and be who they were born to be. Look at how Prue died, how your mother died, Paige, and Phoebe, they all died in vain trying to hide what they are."
"What if they don't support me? What do I do then, I won't kill them."
"No and you shouldn't have to but you need to be prepared should they try to stop you. They will try to tell you that it's wrong to achieve ultimate power, and you only need the two most powerful, Chris and Isabelle. Paige's children are much too young and inexperienced to face the battles ahead. I'm only preparing you for what you may have to do. Should your family have to hide in secrecy and fear? Your destiny is to make this world a better place for them, your family may try and tell you otherwise but this is what is meant to be."
She breathed in sharply as she opened her eyes. "You really think this is your destiny? Just because Morian told you so?"
"He told me you'd say that. You and Chris are sadly mistaken Isabelle, but you will both see the light in the end." He said walking away.
"If you really think that by killing Paige's children you were protecting them then you're the one who's wrong!" she shouted after him. The door slammed and she was alone.

"What are gonna do? We have to find them." Paige said breathlessly.
"Where do you think they would be? Obviously not at the Manor, since someone turned it into a museum." Piper said with a note of anger in her voice. She was a little pissed that someone would turn their ancestral home into a museum after all the generations their family had lived there.
Leo remained quiet thinking. He was unsure of how to find them, he couldn't sense Isabelle or Chris and they had no idea where they would be. Finally he said as he orbed away, "I'll be right back."
"Leo!" Piper shouted trying to stop him, but he was already gone.
He orbed to one of his favorite spots, what was the Golden Gate Bridge, but he quickly realized he couldn't stay there since half of the bridge was hanging precariously with the other half destroyed. Instead he orbed to a nearby park that overlooked the bay and looked back at the ruined city. "What happened?" he asked himself in confusion not expecting an answer.
"Wyatt happened," a girl said stepping out. Leo quickly turned and saw a dark haired girl standing behind him. "My name is Carrie, I can help you." She said, "I know where Izzy and Chris are."

Chris's astral form appeared in the hallway and he looked around the corner. There wasn't a guard at his door, which was weird. Maybe whatever happened at the Manor was more important then he realized. Well if that was the case, he let himself become one again. He walked over to the door and tried it but once he touched it he was thrown across the room. "Damnit!" he said sitting up, "he must have put a force field or something on the door."
"You really think that I would let you get away that easily?" Wyatt said appearing.
Chris instinctively used his telekinesis sending Wyatt across the room as well. "Where's Izzy?" he demanded.
"Chris do we really have to go over this again?" he asked standing up. "You'll see her again once you've seen the light, or once she sees it. No sooner."
"Well I guess then I'll never see her. You won't turn her just like you won't turn me, especially after you killed her father!"
"She knew the consequences then and she chose to risk it."
"So it's her fault her father died? Just like I suppose it's Prue's, Patty's, and Penny's faults huh? And dad's? And everyone else's?" Chris shouted back at him.
"Enough!" Wyatt shouted. Chris suddenly couldn't breathe as Wyatt closed his fist. "I am beginning to lose my patience Christopher. I need you but your impertinence will not be tolerated!" he shouted as he let go of his hold. Chris gasped for breathe.
"You...might...as well..kill me," he stammered, "I'll..never help you!"
"Not even to save Isabelle?"
"What?" Chris asked looking up suddenly.
