Chapter Thirteen: A Run In with the Once Thought Future
A year has passed since the day (October 1, 2019) the young Wyatts received their supernatural powers and destiny. Pru with premonition, Greg with temporal stasis and lastly Sander with telekinesis. They have had over forty seven demon vanquishes. Pru almost died seven times, and her premonitions became a bit longer and more descriptive. Greg's time freezes also evolved, usually lastly only one to two minutes, they can now last up to five. Sander learned to channel his power through his hands instead of his eyes. And Piper, was well getting old, she was after all 47.
Pru graduated from high school and is now a freshmen at the University of Sacramento, which was only two hours away, or in real emergencies, just an orb away. Both Sander and Greg have started their senior years of high school, and are looking at colleges.
October 5, 2020
"Why would you go to college in New York?" asked Sander to Greg over breakfast one Monday morning.
"I don't know, I just want to." smiled Greg as he put jelly on his toast.
"Jelly?" said Sander, making a disgusted, nauseous face.
"You got a problem with that?"
"Nope."
Sander and Greg's relationship changed since they received their powers and that Pru went to college.
"So Mom, what is up?" asked Sander as Piper entered the kitchen with the Book of Shadows, which was moved out of Sander's room and into Pru's.
"Potion making. I've been working on an invisibility potion and I want to put it in the book."
"That's really cool." smiled Sander, as he grabbed his keys. "Well I'm off. Talk to you all later." he smiled, and went out the back door.
Senior year was so fun. They only had like five classes and were out of school by 12:30 instead of the usual 1:45.
Sander had a hard time coping with the death of his ex best friend, Carly, who happened to be a demon, he vanquished. Everyone at school just thought of it as a disappearance, and Sander really didn't have a best friend anymore except Mike, his boyfriend.
Greg's day was going good. He was after all one of the most eligible bachelors in the school. He and his girlfriend, Joan, broke up in January. He was also very popular and was an excellent jock.
He and his friends, Jack and Ryan, were walking to English class.
"I think Mindy is so hot." said Jack as they walked by the new group of cheerleaders.
"Yeah, she definitely is, I would so tap that." laughed Ryan.
Greg just stood there laughing, as they continued walking.
A freshmen ran past the group, and banged into Greg. Both the freshmen and Greg fell to the ground.
"What is your problem?" yelled Greg as he pointed to the boy, and the locker behind the kid blew open, as if a bomb was let off inside of it.
"Whoa, what happened?" said the scared freshmen.
"I don't know. I think someone had a small bomb in there or something." said Greg trying to cover up the fact that he did it.
After English, Greg called home on his cell phone.
[Start Phone Conversation]
Piper: Hello?
Greg: Mom, its Greg.
Piper: Oh hi Greg, why aren't you in class.
Greg: Something happened. This kid banged into me, and I pointed at him, and the locker behind him blew up. I think my power is growing.
Piper: I think it is too. You need to come home, this is serious. You need to learn control of this because it can be deadly especially when you go to freeze.
Greg: Okay, I'll go the nurse's office and say I'm sick.
Piper: Okay. I got to run to the club quickly.
Greg: Okay, see you when I get home.
[End Phone Conversation]
The school nurse sent Greg home after he lied to her and got out of school. He ran to his car, started the engine and drove home. After about ten minutes, he pulled into the driveway. And ran up to the door, and ran into the hallway.
"Mom?" he yelled as he took his shoes off at the door.
"Right here." said Piper, as she entered the hall.
"Mom, it really freaked me out, like what do I do?"
"You need to calm down. The same thing happened to me. I blew a clock up at the Passport office, just by pointing. But now I got control. It takes time. Here we need to make sure you can still freeze. Freeze this." smiled Piper as she threw a crystal vase into the air.
Greg flicked his wrists and the vase exploded into thousands of shards of glass, and Piper quickly froze them before they flew everywhere.
"Look at this! I can't even freeze!" yelled Greg angrily.
"I know, but I'll work with you. When you want to freeze, you need to think freeze. I know you never had to do that before because freezing was your only power. But now you need to differentiate between blowing and freezing."
"Okay."
"Try again." said Piper as she took another vase and threw it into the air.
Greg thought Freeze, and he motioned his hands forward, and wham, the vase was suspended in the air.
"Very good." smiled Piper, as she took the vase out of the air.
"Mom, I always thought Pru or Sander would get their second power first, not me."
"Your power controls its evolution, therefore its safe to say that your freezing power decided that it was time for you to get a second power."
"Cool." smiled Greg.
"Yeah, it took me almost three years to get a new power." laughed Piper, "I bitched for so long and when I got it I didn't want it because I blew everything up."
Sander came home that day with a grim and angry face. He stormed into the Manor, and waved his hand and the door slammed loudly behind him.
"Lysander Andrew Halliwell Wyatt!" yelled Piper as she entered the room from the solarium, Greg following.
"What's wrong, Bro?" said Greg, as he saw the anger in his brother's face.
"This. This is what's wrong!" yelled Sander, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"Let me look." said Piper as she took the paper from him. It was his Government essay, and he got a D..
"Sander, you got a bad grade!" said Piper, as she looked over the essay.
"Mr. Franklin, doesn't like me!" yelled Sander, as he ripped the essay up.
"That's okay, I'll talk to him on Thursday at Meet the Teacher Night. Your Dad is taking Greg's teachers, and I'm taking yours." smiled Piper, "Now, why don't you come have some cake in the solarium, I baked it today, because Greg has some excellent news."
"Oh, and what news is this?" asked Sander.
"I got a new power!" smiled Greg.
"Cool, what is it?" responded Sander smiling.
"Molecular Combustion, or as Mom calls it the exploding power. I looked it up in the Book, according to the book, my powers are related to my hands slowing molecules causing them to freeze, and then there is speeding them up causing them to blow up."
"That's great. I always knew you were going to get a new power before anyone. Did you tell Pru?"
"No, she was in class." smiled Greg.
"Oh. She'll be psyched.'
Dinner that night was a three person event. Apparently Mike and Leo had some whitelighter 911, and couldn't make it.
"Pru is coming home this weekend." said Piper in between bites of a McDonald's Hamburger.
"Cool." smiled Sander, as he took a bite of his Crispy Chicken.
"And why are we having this again?" said Piper as she took a swig of soda.
"Because we are celebrating with Greg's favorite meal?" said Sander with a laugh.
"Shut up." laughed Greg.
"Be nice boys." smiled Piper, as Leo and Mike orbed in the room.
"Hey Dad." said Greg.
"Hey Greg, I heard about your new power. Congratulations."
"Thanks. Hungry?"
"Not really."
"Mike, what was the meeting about?" asked Sander. Mike looked to Leo, as if to ask permission. Leo nodded and Mike proceeded to tell.
"We have a very serious problem." said Mike grimly.
"What? A demon? Warlock?" asked Greg.
"Worse." said Leo.
"What's worse than those?" asked Sander as he snickered.
"Humans." said Mike, as he sat down.
"What do you mean humans?" asked Piper, her eyes big with alert.
"A human discovered his wife was a witch, who happened to be one of Mike's charges. And he went to the media. They are airing the story tonight at 11:00."
"Where did this happen?"
"San Francisco." said Mike, "He killed her in a fit of rage. She couldn't use her powers to protect her. He stabbed her three times in the throat, and he told the cops she used her power on him, and he had proof, her Book of Shadows."
"What were her powers?" asked Greg.
"Carrie was able to do two things, shape shift other living creatures and objects, and she was also able to create illusions with her mind, the Elder's called it Glamouring."
"We are so sorry, Mike." said Piper.
"Yeah, it's terrible, but you need to be extra careful. We are going to see Pru now to tell her as well. Don't use magic." said Leo as he orbed out, Mike following.
"This is bad." said Sander.
"Very Bad." added Greg.
"I say we watch the news later." said Piper as she got up to clean up.
"Yeah." said both boys as they looked at their mother.
The hours leading up to the eleven o'clock news were long and strained. Both Sander and Greg were working on their homework, while Piper was in the kitchen making cupcakes. At 10:55, the three of them gathered in the living room and turned the televison on to the local station, and it was the first thing that came up.
News Report
"This is reporter, Sharon Gobstone reporting live from the residence of Paul and Carrie Huntington. This is the site where Paul Huntington killed his wife by stabbing her in the neck three times. He claims it was self defense, and that she threatened to "hex" him and she sent him through a wall, with what he is calling, telekinesis. Here is our live interview with Paul."
Interview
"Paul, why did you kill your wife?" "I loved her to death, I really did. But I came home and we got into a dispute over the dishes, and all of a sudden she runs into our bedroom, I of course followed, and she waved her hand and bam, I flew into the wall. Then she reached under the bed and pulled out this book and threatened to hex me, and I ran out of the room and grabbed the knife incase she came after me, which she did. She was muttering this incantation in Latin, and I felt my eyes burning, so I attacked. She was a witch. As she died, she muttered something to me though. "There are more of me. This death will bring about the war, the war of magic versus man, and in the end, the Charmed three will stand" and she died. I do however know nothing about this Charmed crap and there will be no war, because I will find these other witches and have them put away because they are dangerous to us."
End Interview
"There you have it. These witches are dangerous and need to be found. Stay tuned for more."
End News Report
"Oh my god." said Piper as she looked at the television in a stupefied gaze.
"This is bad." said Sander, his eyes glued and not blinking.
"What do we do?" asked Greg.
"We do no magic, and we need to be careful, because we can't be revealed." said Piper as she looked out the window.
"Wait a minute." said Greg, as he relaxed on the couch.
"What?" said Sander.
"Mom, that story you told us as kids, the one about the future. Didn't magic become exposed and Aunt Phoebe burned at the stake?"
"Yeah, but that was because she killed someone using magic."
"Yeah, so? What if because of her death, everything was thrown out of whack, and the witch hunt is meant to happen. And we know now that everything will find a way. So what if Carrie's murder is meant to start the hunt. It'll be a matter of time before we are found out. So we need to protect ourselves, because no one is going to be safe. They'll go after Wiccans, and people who give someone the wrong look." said Greg.
"Greg, you're right. We need to be extra careful now."
"Looks like Aunt Phoebe's future caught up to us." smiled Sander, trying to lighten the mood. But it was no use, everyone was down, everyone was scared.
I hope everyone likes. Read and Review!! Thanks!
