Chapter 7: Premonition
A/N: I'm back from camping and it sucked. I'm allergic to nature! I don't own Charmed, but I wish I did. I especially wish I owned Drew Fuller. Thanks for the reviews. They were a real motivator.
Drewfuller4eva: Answer to question one is yes it is. Answer to question two is of course. Thanks for reviewing!
ellie: Glad you liked it! Barbas is my favorite demon too. Here's the update!
ChArMeDcRaZiChIcK: Glad you think it's not crappy! I just thought so 'cause I wrote it quickly! Happy you enjoyed it!
The older Paige just stood there looking slightly confused. She knew Barbas was in the house, she sensed it. With her extremely enhanced sensing abilities she also sensed strange things about the other people in the room. For one thing, there were two Pipers, except one was younger, from about 2004. While the rest of her family believed that Phoebe didn't have a premonition and it was just an illusion from Barbas, Paige knew she had seen something terrible. There was also something very different about Chris, something she couldn't put her finger on. 'No it couldn't be', she thought, 'it was!' The other Chris had returned!
"You're our whitelighter Chris from 2004", she said. It was a statement, not a question.
"Ya", he replied simply.
"How?", she asked, utterly flabbergasted, "You died. I was there. I saw you die"
"I'm back", was all he said. She tightly embraced him, then said no more on the subject.
She then turned her attention to Phoebe who was sitting at the table with her 2 younger daughters. Paige knew she was afraid. In fact, she was terrified. She was also a lot younger, from about 2004 as well.
"What did you see", said the older Paige, "I know it was terrible, but you need to tell us."
Phoebe looked up at Paige, relieved someone finally believed her.
"We're all going to die", she whispered.
The she explained about the demons, there were so many. None of their powers had worked. They threw a potion. Nothing happened. Peyton and Parker were the first to die. The rest would succumb soon after. There was one detail she didn't have the strength to vocalize. That was the exact manner in which they died. There was so much blood, so much pain, so much suffering, and because of her empathy, she could feel it all.
"It's okay Phoebe", said Paige soothingly, "we'll find a way to fix this".
At that moment the phone rang. Chris picked it up on the second ring. Both Pipers watched their son on the phone while he hardly talked. Mostly he listened. His expression went from happy, to nervous, to sad, in mere moments. He put the phone down a few minutes later. Only Phoebe knew how depressed he was.
"Who was that?" she asked.
"Bianca", he said glumly. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wished that in 2004 he really had died. Death was nothing compared to what Bianca had just told him…
