The Charmed Ones sat in the attic, Wyatt sleeping peacefully in his playpen.
"I had a date tonight." Phoebe complained from the couch.
"Would you be quiet? We've all heard you." Paige snapped.
"Sorry if I had things to do tonight and you didn't, Paige! But I was looking forward to this date!"
"I had things to do! But I canceled because I really don't want my nephew dying!"
Phoebe opened her mouth to counter, but Piper came in. "Would you two cut it out?!" she yelled, getting their attention. "We all had things to do, but we canceled, so get on with life!" The three of them sighed. Each was sitting on the couch, starring forward and thinking about what they could be doing right now.
"I was really looking forward to that date." Phoebe whined one more time before a portal opened up. The girls got to their feet and stood next to one another protectively, watching to see who was entering the past.
Out walked a full-grown woman and a little girl who couldn't be more than seven-years-old.
"Peyden?" Piper asked, recognizing the demon who smiled. Piper's eyes went to the little girl. "Little Prue." She stated. Prue looked up at Peyden who looked down at her.
"They know who we are?" she asked her voice soft and timed.
Peyden leaned down to the girls height and spoke like a mother would do to her child. "Naughty Chris must have told." She explained. "But it's okay. We can find Chris." Prue's eyes seemed to harden over at the mention of her older cousin. She then looked over at the Charmed Ones.
"Which one is my mommy?" she asked.
Peyden pointed to Phoebe. "That one there. See, you have her hair and her eyes." She said. Prue examined her mother with great interest.
Phoebe examined her daughter. This was the daughter that she would never get to raise in the future, she would die first. She felt a great love, even though this was the first time she had ever seen her daughter.
Peyden stood back up and faced the sisters. "Where is Chris?" she demanded, her voice taking an evil tone and the motherly tone was gone.
"You think that we would just tell you so you can go and kill him?" Piper responded, her voice stern.
"We're not going to kill him, just bring him back to where he belongs. God knows what we'll do to him there, but we won't kill him here." Peyden smiled evilly.
"See, that doesn't make me want to tell you."
"That's okay. I just figured I'd be nice." She looked down at Prue. "Ready to go get that bastard?"
"We're not gonna kill him?" Prue asked.
"Oh, we will. Just not right now. Come on." She picked Prue up. "Shes a good girl, Phoebe. To bad Chris killed you, you would have been able to raise her." With that, Peyden shimmered away.
"Don't believe a word she says Phoebe." Piper told her sister, but she had already screamed her lungs out for Chris to get his ass here.
"What is it? I'm trying to convince demons to help you out." He said as he orbed in.
"Did you kill me?" Phoebe demanded suddenly.
"What?" Chris asked.
"In the future, were you the one to kill me?"
"No, Wyatt did. What makes you ask that?"
"You're telling the truth?"
"Of course I am. Why do you think I'm lying?" Phoebe sighed and collapsed on the couch. "What did I miss?"
"Peyden and Little Prue just walked through the portal. Peyden said you killed Phoebe. She was probably just trying to turn us against you. She did a pretty pathetic job. " Paige told him.
"What? But Wyatt killed them! He wouldn't let them live! Especially Peyden." He thought for a moment. "Maybe Little Prue." Stress on the maybe.
"Well, that's the least of our worries. They both want you dead. For being seven-years-old, you would think that killing someone would freak her out." Paige stated.
"Seven? Prue can't be seven. When I left for the future she would have barely been one."
"Well, I know what I saw." Piper said defensively.
"Maybe you saw wrong. You've only seen her as a baby." Chris said, defending his point of view.
"I know what I saw, Chris!" Piper said. She strongly believed that it was Prue. She knew it was. And here her son was telling her that she was wrong. No mother likes it when her son goes against her.
Chris, seeing how upset his mother was getting, decided to go with it, even though he had his doubts. "Okay, say it was Prue, it couldn't have been Peyden."
"And why not?"
"Because Wyatt killed her!"
"Did you see him kill her?" Piper challenged.
"No," Chris said weakly. "But why would he let her live?" he said with much more force.
"You never know. Maybe he has a plan behind keeping her alive."
"Well, even if he did, she would never agree to come back to the past to kill me."
"You never know what an evil mind will do, Chris." As soon as she said that, Piper regretted it. She just admitted to having an evil son.
Everyone noticed her discomfort. "I'll go out looking for them." Chris said, deciding to not fight anymore.
"Find them? They'll kill you!" Phoebe said, amazed that he wanted to go find the people who had the power to kill him.
"I'm sure I can get away. I just have to see if this really is Peyden and Prue."
"No, we need a plan." Phoebe insisted. "A spell?"
"Trust me, if Peyden wants someone dead, then she'll do it. A spell can't stop her."
"Then why do you want to go find her?" Phoebe didn't understand this in the least.
"Because I don't think it's her. It can't be." Chris was dead set on this, but he was soon proved wrong when Peyden herself shimmered into the attic with Prue. Chris simply starred. He couldn't believe it, there they were. Two of the people that he was sure to be dead. A best friend and his little cousin that had been lost.
"Hello, Chris." Peyden said, smiling to see that her pray was this easy to find. He must be losing his touch on how to hide.
"Peyden, how?" Chris asked. He was at a lose for words, but he couldn't just stand there starring. Something had to be said.
"Wyatt was so kind to bring me back to life."
"But he can't do that. That's not allowed."
"Neither is traveling back to the past. I have to bring you home now, Chris. Wyatt will be glad to see you."
"Peyden, listen to yourself! He has a spell on you, that's what it is. You have to fight it. Just remember everything that you fought for, what you died for." Chris couldn't except that she would go with Wyatt. Peyden would never. She believed to strongly in what she fought for. She may have been a demon, but she still didn't like Wyatt's powers, and if she could fight for good, than she had to have some good in her somewhere.
"Save it, Chris." She thrust her arm out, sending him flying into the wall. Chris slid down the wall, but quickly got back up. "I don't care what you have to say. He doesn't have me under a spell, I choose to do this. Wyatt just made me understand. You'll understand soon enough." Peyden's eyes turned into flame. That was the sign that she was about to harness the power of fire, but Prue stopped her.
"I want a turn." She said in her soft voice.
"You want a turn?" Phoebe echoed with motherly anger in her voice. "He is your cousin. You should want nothing more than to help him."
Prue turned her head to face her mother. She looked her right in the eyes. Phoebe saw that her daughter's eyes were hallowed.
"Why would I want to help him? He didn't want to help you, or me. Wyatt told me everything. He killed you, then went for me. But Wyatt saved me. He's the only cousin who cares. Chris just wants me dead." Prue didn't even have to move. Her powers blocked Chris's throat, so he could no longer breath. The girls tried to help, but Peyden put up a force field to keep them out. Chris was stuck inside, suffocating. He could see people who could help him, but they couldn't get to him.
