A/N: Haha. No one expected that, did they? Well, okay, maybe some of you did. But anyway, on to the thank you's:

C. C. McKenna, Hey hey hey! Lol. I'm so glad you simply love my story! And I'm even gladder that it kept you on the edge of your seat. Just wait, you might fall off your seat once you read on!

psychokitty3, Both your questions will be answered in this and the following chapter!

THE IDIOT, Glad you like it so far and I hope you continue to like it! Wouldn't it be awful if the end were disappointing? I don't think it is. We'll just wait and see.

HollyShadow, Oh good! I haven't been making any sense lately. Lol. And yes, Sky's in trouble big! She's also, definitely, sneaky. And the truth potion was thrown away because they thought Sky was just a runaway or something and they didn't feel they needed it.

Okay. So, doing two chapters today again. If I get enough reviews by the time I go to sleep tonight, I might do a third chapter. I'm trying to get as many out as possible before Friday, since I won't be able to come on for three days. Again, so sorry I have to do that to you guys!

Anyway, here's Chapter Seven! [I have twelve chapters total.] Please review and please ENJOY!

"Oh my god!" Piper cried shrilly, running to grab Sky before she fell to the ground. She cradled Sky against herself, arms wrapped around her.

The Darklighter, his work down, disappeared. Prue and Phoebe raced over to Piper and Sky, eyes wide with shock.

"But- doesn't . . . Sky's a Whitelighter?" Phoebe asked, unable to keep her voice steady and calm.

Sky let out a small whimper of pain, limp in Piper's arms.

"We need to get the arrow out," Piper said frantically, tears in her eyes. "Prue, get the first aid kit and some towels."

Prue hesitated. "But-"

"Now!" Piper growled before turning back to Sky and whispering calming words to her.

Prue ran from the room and disappeared upstairs. She came back minute's later, arms loaded with the first aid kit, towels, and other things.

Piper gently dragged Sky to the couch and laid her down on it. She knelt beside her. "This might hurt," she warned. She took a hold of the arrow, took a deep breath, and pulled hard.

Sky screamed in agony, her body arching as the arrow came free.

Piper threw it aside, lifted Sky's shirt up enough to expose the wound, and began to clean it with things from the first aid kit. She hurriedly cleaned it and bandaged it, though she knew it did no good. The poison was in her system now and they needed Leo to heal her. They needed him really badly, but he wasn't there.

"She's a Whitelighter!" Phoebe shrieked, pacing the room. "Wow, wow, wow!"

"Wait," Prue said suddenly, frowning. She stared at Sky. "Phoebe, could she be the girl from your vision?" she asked slowly.

Phoebe stopped pacing and glanced at Sky. She frowned, then her eyes widened. "Oh my god, she is!"

Piper turned sharply to look at her sisters. "Sky is the one who saved me from the Black Raven at my club?" She paused, remembering the first time she had seen Sky and heard her speak. Thinking back, she realized that the Sky's voice had sounded really familiar. And now she knew why. She turned back and looked at Sky, sweating and shaking, the poison in her body flowing through her veins and slowly destroying her.

"That's also why she wouldn't let me touch her," Phoebe realized. "She knew I'd get a premonition off her and she didn't want me to. But why did she keep her identity a secret?"

Piper frowned, gently nudging Sky so she lay on her side. She moved a shaky hand to the girls right back pocket and pulled out the paper she had seen in it. She rolled Sky back onto her back before glancing at the paper. It was blank on one side and she knew it was a picture. Slowly, she turned it over to examine it.

And nearly fainted.

She stood on shaky legs. "This is why," she replied, passing the picture to Phoebe and Prue.

The picture showed a thirteen year old Sky sitting on the on the front lawn of the manor. She wore a silky skirt that fell to her knees, a white shirt, and a denim jean jacket. Her hair was up in a ponytail. She was leaning against someone, whose arms held her in a hug. The person beside her was Piper.

"Okay . . . this is?" Prue asked, looking at the picture, then Piper, then back at the picture before finally resting her eyes on Piper.

"I-" Piper gulped. "I'm not sure. But . . . I think Sky is my daughter."

Sky whimpered in pain. Her eyes swept over Prue and Phoebe and landed on Piper, a sad look lingering in them.

Piper stared at her in complete shock, her heart beating against her ribcage. Could Sky really be her daughter from the future? It didn't make sense. But the more she thought about it, the more sense it made. It wasn't a coincidence Sky had come to their house. She had found the Book, had seen demons attack, and had found her way to Piper's room. The bathroom door had been locked, but Sky had probably orbed out of it. And, now that she thought about it, when the room had unfrozen, Sky had probably done it. She had never really frozen and she had seen Phoebe moving to touch her, so she'd unfrozen the room with her to make it look like the freeze had worn off. She had refused to drink the water, probably realizing what it really was.

"Piper, what is it?" Prue asked, seeing Piper's spaced out gaze.

Piper looked at her sisters. She sighed and quickly explained everything she had come to realize. When she was done, she said, "So, all along, Sky has been the one who was at my club. She's my daughter from the future and she came back here for some reason. It's the only logical explanation and everything else adds up."

"So she's half-Whitelighter and half-witch," Prue muttered, glancing at Sky.

"Piper and Leo's daughter," Phoebe added, eyes wide.

Piper moved back to Sky and sat beside her. She took her hand, tears creeping into her eyes. "It's okay," she said soothingly, brushing stray hair away from Sky's eyes. Her forehead felt warm and sweaty. "You'll be okay. I promise."

Sky opened her mouth to speak, but shut it. She tried to clear her throat, then licked her dry lips. Her vision was blurring as she glanced at Piper. "Mommy," she croaked, eyes closing slightly, then opening.

"Where the hell is Leo? He should have checked in with us by now!" Piper said angrily, holding Sky's hand tighter. "Leo! LEO!"

"Piper, stop. I don't think he can hear you," Prue said sadly. "He would have come by now if he could."

"I'll go check the Book. Maybe there's another way to heal her," Phoebe said, leaving the room and hurrying up to the attic.

Piper choked back fresh tears. She stroked Sky's hand in a motherly way, wishing she had realized sooner. She could have saved Sky, protected her from the Darklighter.

Phoebe came back downstairs, a piece of paper clutched in her hand. She looked nervous.

"What is it, Pheebs?" Prue asked, unsure if she really wanted to know.

"I found a spell to take us back in time. It's the only way we can stop Sky from getting hit by the Darklighter's arrow. But we have to be careful," Phoebe said. "I altered it a little for our use."

Piper went to Phoebe. "Let's do it." She took Phoebe's hand with her left and Prue's with her right.

Phoebe held the spell up and all three chanted.

"Back into the past we wish to be.

Half an hour is all we need.

Take us back to that time please.

As we wish, so mote it be."

The room began to spin. Piper became slightly nauseous. She felt ready to loose her dinner when the room stopped spinning. Looking around, she realized they were in the kitchen, a pot of potion brewing; the truth potion.

"Great, it worked. Okay, I'm going to go get Sky out of the living room," Piper said, rushing out before her sisters could stop her. She ran to the living room, where Sky was pacing.

"Sky!" Piper cried. Her daughter turned to look at her as Piper ran to her and grabbed her in a tight hug.

"What's that for?" Sky shrieked, eyes wide with surprise as she pulled away from Piper.

"Stop being stubborn and come with me. Now." Piper took her hand and dragged her to the steps. She watched as Prue and Phoebe left the kitchen and went to the living room, awaiting the Darklighter's attack. She dragged a protesting Sky upstairs to her room and closed and locked the door behind them.

"What are we doing?" Sky demanded, crossing her arms.

"Keeping you from being poisoned by a Darklighter," Piper replied.

Sky stiffened then a confused look crossed her face. "What are you talking about? What's a Darklighter?"

"Stop playing dumb. I know you're half Whitelighter." Piper paused, sighing. "And I know you're my daughter."

"How-?" Sky asked, eyes widening with shock and confusion.

"I . . . My sisters and I came back from the future . . . half an hour from now. The Darklighter attacked in the living room. He attacked you and that's how we finally put it all together. Leo's off in some otherworldly place and we couldn't heal you, so we came back to stop it happening," Piper explained.

"Oh." Sky licked her lips, leaning against Piper's dresser and staring at the floor.

"You saved my life at the club. You kept your identity a secret. Why?" Piper asked, although she was pretty sure she knew the answer.

"Because I didn't want you to know. You knowing about me could change the future in a way it shouldn't be changed," Sky replied.

"But doesn't you coming here change the future?" Piper asked.

Sky nodded. "I came here to stop something from happening. By keeping my identity a secret, I kept a big chunk of the future a secret. You wouldn't even have know I was changing the future if that Darklighter hadn't attacked."

"But what did you change?" Piper wondered.

"Something - Something that was never meant to happen. Someone in my time sent a powerful demon into this time to change what's meant to be in the future. If they had succeeded-"Sky paused, not wanting to even think about it.

"What?" Piper coaxed. "What would have happened?"

"If they had succeeded, Good would cease to exist." Sky replied sadly.

"Good will cease to exist," said a voice from the doorway.

Piper and Sky turned and gasped. The Darklighter stood there, grinning. His crossbow appeared and, before either girl had time to react, he fired at Sky.
