Chapter 8

"So, are you ready for this?" Phoebe asked Alexis as they walked to the front steps of her mother's house. They decided to tell Alexis's mother everything so that they could save her.

"Yeah… I am."

"Good." Phoebe smiled. The sisters and Alexis orbed to where Emily, Alexis's mom lives. As soon as they arrived, they heard shouting voices that could be heard through the entire house. They went to the hallway leading to the basement where no one could see them.

They watched as Emily shouted to the man she was arguing. Alexis looked closely and realized that the man was her father. She suddenly felt sick at the sight of the man she hated all her life, hurting the mother she never knew. The sisters all looked intently at Alexis and were worried that she might not be able to handle what she's seeing.

Alexis noticed the sisters' worried looks. "I'm okay… don't worry… I can do this." She assured them.

"What are they fighting about anyway?" Paige asked in a whisper.

"He cheated on my mom so my mom won't let him see me. But he's got the nerve to come to my mother's house and yell at her." Alexis answered.

"You hate him so much, don't you?" Phoebe asked.

"Doesn't it show? He's the reason why everything got all screwed up."

They decided to approach Emily when their argument is over, seeing as they came in the wrong time. They just watched quietly until they saw Alexis's father hit Emily hard on the face. This caused Alexis to stand up and run to her mother without thinking. The sisters weren't able to stop her.

"Stop it please!" Alexis yelled at her father.

Both of them stopped and were shocked to see Alexis in the middle of them.

"Where did you come from?" Emily asked curiously.

Alexis didn't know what to say. It seemed like she was frozen at the sight of her mother, face to face with her. Suddenly, Piper stood up and froze Alexis's dad. "She's your daughter."

Emily was wordless. She had no idea what's going on. "We came here to save you." Paige said. "Your daughter came here from the future so that she can save you from the Temptress."

Emily looked at Alexis with tears on her eyes. Alexis held out her arms and hugged her mother for the first time.

"Did she tell you everything before your mom asked her the truth?" Leo asked Chris as he flipped the pages of the Book of Shadows in the attic. They were trying to find a vanquishing spell for the sisters to use.

"Not everything." Chris answered

"But you knew she was from the future?"

"Yeah…"

"Oh… that explains why." Leo muttered. Chris however heard him.

"Explains what?"

Leo hesitated for a moment but had this funny look on his face. "You like her, don't you?"

Chris laughed. "Why would you say that?"

"Come on… everyone in this house can notice except the two of you."

"Even Wyatt and my baby self?" Chris joked.

"Why don't you tell her?" Leo asked.

"Because she will soon go back to her future and in that future, I might not still be there." Chris said quietly. "Might as well not fall in love if you're gonna lose her too."

Leo shook his head. "You know that's not true."

"I know."

"Why don't you do something about it?"

"Because it might be too late." Chris said as he stood up and left the attic.

"She will kill me?" Emily asked disbelievingly as the sisters explained what could happen to her.

"She will… if you still want to take him back." Alexis said as she motioned to her father who was still frozen.

Emily looked at her husband and back to Alexis. "I think I just have to let him go."

Piper, Phoebe and Paige went back to where they were hiding as Piper unfroze Alexis's dad.

"Who are you?" He asked Alexis as he backed away from her.

Alexis glared at him. "Like you care… and don't you dare let your hands touch my mother or I swear, I'll kill you."

"You're my daughter?"

"I'm not… I was never your daughter. You didn't love me enough so you just slept with another woman and left my mother alone!" Alexis almost shouted as tears fell from her eyes.

Emily held Alexis as she cried. She looked at her husband. "You should go," She said coldly. "And never come back."

He had no choice but to leave.
