AN: Thanks to meenyrocks, ilovedrew88, melodieeidolem, scullymulder1234, Chris Drew Lover

NOTES:

Meenyrocks: Glad ya like it. I'm not sure I like how confusing it is, as of late, but mostly everyone gets it. I could probably get spoilers, but I usually don't like to look at them unless I find out something's in there that I have to know about. I can email you the website that has them, though. Count your blessing, they're totally messing up this season, and it sucks. I think it's going to be the last one. Yeah, I did make Rose out to be a mean person, but it just sort of happened. I think I changed everyone's personality for that, but oh well. Thanks for the review!

ilovedrew88: Ah, that whole dinosaur thing is gonna make a lot more sense later on, but that's beside the point. Glad you're still reading this. Thanks for the review!

Melodieeidolem and Christ Drew Lover: Read and see. Thanks for the review!

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

The two stepped out of the portal, and looked around.

For a split second the attic seemed normal, and then something seemed to rush through everything, including the boys, and the attic was different. All the boys could do was stare in surprise.

"Wyatt, what happened to the attic?" Chris asked with horror.

"I don't know," Wyatt replied.

"Didn't we just come from a great future? This isn't our time," Chris said.

"Then what time is it, Chris!?" Wyatt snapped, looking around the attic which was pretty much in shambles. One part of the roof was missing, and a few feet ahead there was a hole.

Someone orbed into the room in front of them. The person formed into a dirty Paige, holding the hand of a little girl, followed quickly by a teenager.

"We've got to get out of here," the teenager said. "Mom's in a bad mood again," The teenager said, taking the younger girl's hand.

"Head to Brody's. He'll keep you guys safe for now," Paige said.

The older girl nodded, and then orbed out of the room.

"Aunt Paige!" Chris said. The older woman spun around, and eyed Chris warily.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"It's me, Chris," Chris said. "Your nephew."

"I don't have a nephew," Paige sneered.

"Who were those girls?" Wyatt demanded.

"My daughter, Patricia," Paige said. "And my niece, Melinda."

"We don't have any relatives named Melinda. Or Patricia," Chris stated.

"And I don't know you," Paige snapped with annoyance.

"Paige, you're our Aunt!" Chris exclaimed. "Our parents are Piper and Leo Halliwell."

"Impossible. Piper and Leo only had Melinda," Paige said.

"What!? We just came from the future, and we were there. Everything was perfect. How did it get like this?" Chris demanded.

"Chris, relax. There has to be a good explanation for this," Wyatt said. Somebody orbed into the room, and Piper and Leo appeared.

Chris let out a sigh of relief. "Mom!" He exclaimed.

"Chris, that's not Mom," Wyatt said with fear. He pulled Chris back to him as Piper turned and looked at them.

"I'll deal with you two later," She said. Then turned back to Paige. Piper was dressed in tight black pants, black high heeled boots, and a zip up red shirt unzipped rather low. Her hair was pulled back into a tight bun. Leo was wearing a tight black t-shirt and black jeans. His hair was gelled up.

"Piper," Paige said, standing up straight.

"You're the last one left, Paige," Piper said. "Join us. We can rule it all together. You, me, Leo, Patricia and Melinda."

"No!" Paige said. "I won't let you near Melinda. Or Patricia."

"She's our daughter," Leo growled. "You can't keep her from us forever."

"She's keeping herself away from you. She wants nothing to do with you!"

Leo's hand shot out, and electricity began to be pumped through Paige's body. She doubled over and let out a small cry.

"Stop running, Paige!" Piper screamed.

"This isn't right. None of this is right!" Chris exclaimed. He flung his hand out, but his powers weren't working. "What?"

"Our powers go first," Wyatt whispered. "Then our bodies. We don't exist, Chris."

"No!" Chris cried. He ran forward and knocked Leo to the ground.

Wyatt went to Paige, and helped her up. "Orb out of here, now," He said.

Paige eyed him warily, and then orbed away.

"Damn it!" Piper exclaimed. She blew off part of the roof in anger. "What did you have to do that for!?"

"You were going to kill her. She's your sister," Chris said. Leo grabbed him by the neck and threw him against the remaining wall.

"Son of a bitch, Chris!" Piper exclaimed.

Chris sat up with a groan, Wyatt pulling him to his feet. "You know who I am?" He asked.

Piper cackled, and then looked at Leo who had a dark grin on his face. "Of course we know who you are. We've seen your pictures."

"I don't understand," Wyatt said.

Piper held out her hand, and a ratty old book bag appeared in a dark mist in her hand. She tossed it to the boys, and Chris opened it up.

"This is my back pack," He said with confusion.

Realization dawned on Wyatt's face. "The one you left in 1997."

Chris's jaw dropped. "But, how could it change the future so much like this?" He asked.

Wyatt tried to put his hand on Chris's shoulder, but it went right through. Quickly he hid it behind his back before anyone could see.

"Seeing as in a few minutes, you'll disappear completely, I'll tell you," Piper said.

"A demon known as Serfa found it when he went to attack us. He was a Grethnic demon and used the backpack information for the future. They turned us first, fortunately. We didn't let on for a long time, but then we killed Phoebe when she refused to turn. Prue joined with us, but unfortunately, she wasn't a very good demon and had to be eliminated. Then there was Paige. We didn't find out about her until the source decided that she was a threat," Leo said.

"Actually, we found out about her before we disposed of Prue. There was a risk of reuniting the Charmed Ones. If Paige received all of her powers, then there's a high chance Prue would have turned back. Prue turns back, I turn back."

"It was unacceptable," Leo explained.

"Unfortunately, Paige has been able to avoid us quit well, and took our daughter, Melinda, from us to raise her good," Piper spat.

"You see, by changing the future, you destroyed yourselves," Leo said. "And now you're almost gone."

Wyatt looked down to see how see through he was. He looked to Chris with a look of panic.

Chris swallowed hard. "But we've been all through time, and the events were all the same," He said.

Piper snickered. "Nasty little thing time travel is, isn't it? Nothing would change until you were in your rightful time," She explained.

"Chris, you need to get that back pack," Wyatt whispered softly. Chris shook his head. "Yes, you're still solid."

"What are you whispering about? There's no way you can fix this," Leo said. Then he and Piper laughed.

"We'll find Paige again, baby. Next time we'll make sure she dies," Piper whispered to Leo.

"Sounds like a good idea to me," Leo answered. And then they started kissing heavily.

"While they're distracted. Do it, Chris!"

"What about you?" Chris asked.

"Save the future, you save me," Wyatt explained.

Chris looked hesitant, then nodded. Wyatt got up, and ran away, leaving Chris to sink into the shadows.

"God dammit!" Piper cursed. She and Leo turned to dart after him, leaving Chris alone in the attic. He rushed to the wall and took a piece of chalk out of his pocket. Quickly tracing the triquatra on the wall, he stepped back.

"What was the spell?!" He suddenly exclaimed in terror. Leo appeared in the doorway.

"What are you doing?" He demanded.

Chris quickly recited the spell, and jumped through the portal, Leo grabbing onto his ankle and following him in.

The portal closed up as Piper stepped into the attic. "He's gone!" She announced cheerfully. "Disappeared into thin … air. Leo!?"
