Her blue eyes looked hazel in the dark room as shadows passed over her
face. She looked at Wyatt. It seemed as if she were looking through him to
some place he couldn't see. Wherever it was it was giving her the strength
to say what needed to be said. When she spoke her words filtered through
the thick air in a pivotal moment.
"Don't you get it? Haven't you realized it by now?" she whispered.
When no one answered her she looked away from all of them. "This...this was my suicide mission. "
Everyone was quiet. None of them were ready for that. What she was saying made sense somehow but it was still so hard for them to believe. Especially, after all the immense powers that she had showed them while trying to defeat Wyatt. Now, after everything, she was defeated. She didn't care anymore for what she had come here to do. It was crazy to think about being true.
Paige, Piper, and Phoebe exchanged looks. Paige's was more a what in the hell just happened to the girl we've been fighting look, Piper's was more a thank god she's not going to take my son look that extended to a wow, and then Phoebe's was majorly surprised and saddened.
"I have nothing," she whispered and then she disappeared completely from the room.
She was gone instantly. They all looked at each other in surprise. It was almost like it had never happened. Like she had never existed. Wyatt quickly stepped to the place in the room where she had been standing and searched for her. He didn't find her though. She was no where to be found.
"Great. I don't know if we should help her or just let her be," Paige said.
"When have we ever," Piper asked, sharing a look with her younger sister.
"We have to help her, Paige. She's an innocent." Phoebe responded.
"Phoebe's right." Leo said. "You have to help her. She's your charge."
"Easy for you to say," Piper replied.
"Yeah, she didn't attack you." Chris said softly. It wasn't at all as angry as he had been towards the situation before. "Try to kill you, heal you, and then reject your offer of giving your life for hers."
"How can we help her?" Wyatt asked, defeated.
"Well, you cursed her in your last life right? Maybe you can write a spell to defeat it now. You're more powerful in this life so maybe it'll work." Paige tried, giving her nephew a small hopeful smile.
"No, it won't. It's had years to gather power. It sounds like it had a snowball effect since he cast it, too. I mean look what it did to her family, friends, and fiancé. It obliterated them." Leo told her.
"Okay, you suggest something then," Piper said in annoyance.
"Maybe, Wyatt you could go back to your past life again and relive how you killed her. See if you had any talismans that helped you." Leo said.
"Kinda like the necklace I had that saved me from dying," Phoebe said.
"Yes, but we're really looking for a miracle there." Piper remarked.
"What else is there to do?" Paige asked.
"Well, it's all been done before. It's hard to start all over again," Phoebe said, frowning.
"What?" Paige asked.
"Well, the Book of Shadows has nothing in it to help a cursed person. So we're flat out of luck there which means, being the domino effect and all, the internet won't help either. So, she's screwed on the magical reference part." Phoebe told Paige.
"Can't we write a spell? We are powerful you know?" Paige tried.
"Yeah, so is Wyatt. So probably was Wyatt in his past lifetime Not even he can write a spell effective enough for her to survive." Piper informed her.
"Great. So what? She's screwed?' Paige asked, frowning.
"Maybe not. I can go see if the Elders have anything about Wyatt's past life that they can go off of. Maybe, that will help." Leo tried.
"Good. Go quickly." Phoebe ordered, waving her hands in a hurried motion towards him.
Leo orbed out with a small glance to his wife. Piper watched Leo's orbs depart and then sighed. Now, it was time to get their butts back in gear and try to save their innocent. Hopefully, it was job that they could do. Otherwise, she didn't know how Wyatt would handle it. He'd never lost an innocent before so it was hard to know what he would do now if that happened with Victoria.
"Great going," Paige said to Wyatt.
"Hey, no picking on my son." Piper said going over to him and wrapping her arms around his shoulders comfortingly.
"She's right, mom. I knew what I was doing when I cursed her in my past life. Now she has to pay for it," Wyatt said.
"Sweetie, we'll fix this," Piper told him hugging him closer.
"Yeah, don't beat yourself up." Phoebe added.
"We should start now. Who knows how long it'll take to find out what I used to help me magically in my past life," Wyatt said, ready to go into battle.
"As long as you're ready for this again." Piper said.
Wyatt nodded. His decision was final. He was ready to find out how to save her. He wouldn't let her down in this lifetime. He didn't care what she said to get him to change his mind. He would find a way to save her. If he didn't he would exchange their lives to break the curse.
Paige stood anxiously nearby hopping from foot to foot, "I know it's all been done before, but I'm still gonna check the Book of Shadows. Maybe, there's something that was looked over or maybe there's something that can be changed to save her."
As soon as she said what she was planning on doing, Paige quickly left the room. Phoebe and Chris now were the only ones left. The room was a mess. The remnants of what had happened a few minutes before and throughout the whole day still lingered in their minds as they surveyed the room quietly. Phoebe went to Chris and linked arms with his in an attempt to comfort him. Of any of them, she had no idea what he was thinking or feeling about the whole situation..
"Where do you think she is right now?" he asked quietly.
"I don't know. Maybe... Well, if I were her I would be at my wedding." Phoebe told him. "But since that didn't happen.."
"Phoebe, you're a genius!" Chris cried, he quickly detached himself from her arm and grabbed a nearby red blanket hanging from the side of the couch.
"What? Hey, wait a second. What are you getting at?" she asked.
"You stay here in case anything happens. I'm going to go after her." he told her.
"Hold on. Do I sense a change of feelings?" she asked, her eyes twinkling.
"Yeah, well. I dunno. I just.." he kicked at a piece of stained glass looking up at her with his big forest green eyes earnestly .
"You dunno?" she asked, copying his statement as she raised her eyebrows.
"Aunt Phoebe," he cried, not wanting to be the ant underneath the magnifying glass anymore.
"I get it. I get it. I'm starting to see your type now. Red hair, blue eyes, about 5'6, mysterious and deeply traumatic."
"Phoebe!" he cried.
"We'll what are you waiting for. Go and get her already." she told him laughing.
"She..she needs someone to watch out for her. I'm a guardian angel so I'll do it," he tried to reason with her.
"Yeah, and she's hot, too, right?"
He gave her an annoyed look.
"Ah, my nephew's growing up right before my eyes. Oh, I'm getting to see your very first crush on an innocent. Wow, it's just like old times"
"Not cool. Not cool at all, Aunt Phoebe," he answered.
She waved her hands at him to go, "Go then. It'll be easier to find her when we figure this all out if you're with her." She gave him a wink. "I'll even tell everyone that I came up with the idea so your secret doesn't come out so quickly."
"Thanks. Wait, are you sure you can keep it? " he asked and started to orb away without her answer but stopped. "Make sure mom's okay."
"I will. Don't worry about anything," Phoebe reassured him.
Chris orbed away leaving her in the sitting room alone. She looked around her and saw the chaos of the room, and decided that while everyone else did what they were doing she would try to clean up the chaotic mess.
"Don't you get it? Haven't you realized it by now?" she whispered.
When no one answered her she looked away from all of them. "This...this was my suicide mission. "
