Thanks for all the reviews, I am very happy to know that you all love this story, and just because you do, I will continue. I promise, I know how this will play out, and better yet, I promise to finish this story, very soon!
I miss Drew Fuller(Chris) being on the show, he is a very good actor, so I know I will see him again soon, in something else.
Kerr Smith is very cute, can't wait to find out if he is going to stay a good guy, or turn bad. By the time I post this chapter, it should all be clear.
Chapter 4: Right the Wrong
"It isn't the first time we have made a mistake." said Piper.
"That's for sure." said Phoebe. "But we always manage to get out of it, and we will this time."
"Alright, what do we do with her?" asked Paige, as she waved her hand toward the figure on the floor.
"Well, first we figure out how to wake her up, or do we?" asked Piper, looking at Rosanna. "I mean do we wake her, or leave her like this and just take her back?
"We need to wake her, cause we need to know more about that box, and if the stories are true, that there are spirits inside." said Phoebe.
"Well, first off I agree we need to wake her up," said Rosanna. "But not cause we need to know about the spirits, I already know what is in the box, and it is nothing good, that I promise you."
"Well you know, but we don't." said Piper. "Care to enlighten us?"
"Alright, all I can tell you is that a witch trapped these evil spirits with the intention of them never being released. Pandora,who by the way, is not a person made by Zeus. She is quite the opposite, she is just a witch. And she wasn't curious, she was tricked. You see, she is an empath, and the spirits lured her to opened the box, by making her feel their pain. She had no way of knowing what she was doing when she opened the box."
"Alright, how much damage did they do by taking her out of her time?" asked Leo.
"Well, sense Piper put the people of that time to sleep, they won't know she is gone. There should be no damage to the past, anyway we have to get her back, before something worse happens, but first let's wake her up."
"Is there something you aren't telling us something?" asked Phoebe. "I mean I get the feeling there is."
"Just wake her up." said Rosanna. "Look there is more, but I might be worrying about nothing, we just have to wait and see."
"Alright," said Phoebe. She wanted to trust Rosanna, and part of her did, but the mystery that surrounded the girl made Phoebe leery. And she knew the Rosanna knew more about her future than she did, and even though Phoebe no longer had her powers, she could feel something off about Rosanna.
"Leo, can you help us wake her up?" asked Paige.
"Sure," he said as he walked over to Pandora who was on the floor by Piper who was sitting next to the young woman resting her hand in her lap. "Piper, what are you doing?"
"She is so young Leo, I mean look at her, she gotta be 16 or 17. She so young to carry the burden of releasing evil into the world. Can you imagine bearing that burden?" she said stroking the girl's blond hair.
"Honey, history won't repeat itself with you, and Wyatt, I mean we will stop him from turning evil."
"How did you know that's what I was thinking?" asked Piper, as she looked up at her husband.
"Cause I know you, Piper." he said as he squatted down by the girl. He waved his hand over her face, and his hands emitted a light white color, and Pandora's eyes fluttered opened.
Pandora looked up and her eyes fixed on Leo, and then went to Piper. "Where am I? Who are you? ..." she said as she sat up and backed away from both, only for eyes to catch the other three girls, and young man looking at her. "What's going on?"
"Relax, we won't hurt you. I'm Piper, this is Leo, these are my sisters Paige and Phoebe. This is Rosanna and he is my son Chris."
"I'm Pandora. Where am I?"
"In our attic." said Phoebe.
"Attic?" asked Pandora. "What's that?"
"Oh boy." said Piper. "Ok let me take you downstairs and get you something to eat, before we get back to your time."
"My time?"
"Yeah, you see we kinda made a mistake, and took you, and now you are in the future." said Phoebe, nervously.
"I don't understand. Are you witches?" she asked. Noticing the shocked expressions, she looked to Piper. "Was it something I said?"
"No, it's just we haven't been asked that to often." said Piper.
"What are stairs?" asked Pandora.
"Ok, Leo orb me and her downstairs, please." she said as she reached out to Pandora. "Come on trust me."
Pandora slowly took Piper's hand. Leo placed his hands on Piper and Orbed out with both. Phoebe almost choked laughing when just as they left Pandora said, "What is orbing?"
"Ok we have to get her back to her time, the more time she spends here in this time, the more we risk her changing her time when she gets back. That and a few more questions like that, and she is going to get frozen by Piper." said Phoebe.
A half hour passed before Piper and Leo orbed back into the attic with Pandora. Phoebe looked up from behind the Book of Shadows, "So did you enjoy Piper's cooking Pandora?"
"Yes, very much so, thank you."
"Yeah, she loved my cooking," smiled Piper, "She ate a pork-chop, some mashed potatoes, and cole-slaw, and a piece of apple pie I had left over from last night."
"Wow, she's kinda small to be eating all that." said Paige, who was sitting on the couch reading one of the book her and Chris had found at Magic school weeks ago, one that they had hoped would prevent Wyatt from turning evil.
Piper walked over to help Phoebe look at the Book of Shadows, Leo walked over to the corner to talk to Chris, and none of them noticed when Pandora started looking around the attic. Already that day she had been scared by the microwave oven, and the refrigerator, it was cold in that big white box. She was also frightened by the ice that came out of the ice dispenser on the door.
Pandora walked over to a cardboard box full of stuff she didn't know what was, she picked up, she was shocked by what she saw, and let go of the object, letting it crash to the floor. Piper and Phoebe jumped in shock, and Paige got off the couch and walked over to the girl, "Are you ok?
"There are people stuck in there!"
Paige looked down at the floor to see a picture frame, she picked it up and turned it over, "No there isn't, calm down. This is something we call a picture, it captures peoples images, but not the person."
"Oh, I am sorry, I broke it."
"No, you didn't, just shattered the glass, we can fix that."
"She's been looking at everything," said Piper with a smile, "Truthfully I don't think we going to have too much that isn't broken by the time we get her back to her time."
Just as she finished the sentence, a lamp hit the floor and shattered, Chris walked over, "Watch out, Pandora, don't move, don't want you to cut yourself."
"Lamp," said Paige as she orbed the pieces into the garbage.
Piper watched as Pandora walked around the attic, and flinched every time something fell, most luckily didn't break, but Chris was having a dozy of a time trying to pick up stuff, Piper watched as Pandora picked up the glass clock Prue had given her for her and Leo's wedding gift, just then it ticked and Pandora let go, Piper waved her hands to freeze the clock before it hit the floor, but ended up freezing both the clock and Pandora. "Oops."
"Way to go mom," said Chris, as he reached down to plucked the clock from the air. "can we keep her like this till we get her to her time?"
"No, I will unfreeze her and we will just make her go to sleep." she said as she waved her hand to unfreeze Pandora. Pandora looked around confused, the last thing she remembered was letting go of the shiny glass box, and her letting go of it, and now it was just gone!
"Mom, any day now," said Chris.
"Sopio." said Piper. They watched as Pandora collapsed into Chris arms, and watched as he picked her up and placed her on the couch.
"Do any of you realize the damage that has been done?" said Rosanna, as she put her hand to her head. "Alright you have to go back, put Pandora on the ground by the box, and release Maria, and bring her here."
"Alright no problem." said Phoebe.
"Yeah that's what you said when you started this little adventure!" said Rosanna.
"Rosanna, cool it!" said Chris. "They made a mistake."
"Yeah, and whose fault is that?" she said looking in Phoebe's direction.
"Alright sister, you have a problem with me?" asked Phoebe as she came toward Rosanna.
Leo grabs her, and turns her around. "We don't have time to fight, we have to fix this before it gets worse!"
"Alright," said Phoebe. "Ok one more time, into the past we go."
Chant:
Hear these words, hear the rhyme
Heed the hope within my mind.
Send me back to where I'll find
What I wish in place and time.
Just as before, a portal of blue lights opened up, and the Charmed ones, followed by Leo, carrying Pandora walked through the portal.
Once on the other side, they quickly got busy undoing the wrong. First Leo placed Pandora on the ground, next to the box. Then Piper took the spell out of her pocket.
"Verve Omnes Liberant"(Words free us all)
As the last word was spoken the box flew open, revealing a beautiful young girl with dark brown hair. Her eyes were bright red, and glowing. She looked around her, and held up her right hand, in with flames appeared. She took aim at Phoebe, and threw the fire ball at her.
"Flame!" yelled Paige as she redirected the flame toward the nearest tree. "Maria, stop, we mean you no harm!"
Before anybody could stop her, she waved her hand, and the portal reopened, and in shock they watched Maria run through it.
"What the hell was that about?" asked Phoebe. "And how did she reopen the portal?"
"I don't know, but we don't have time to worry about it. She might have just opened the portal, which means she is headed for.." started Piper. Her fear grabbing hold of her, and Leo finished, "Chris!"
"Hurry up! Recite the damn spell, we have to get to him." screamed Piper.
Leo without even looking at the page, recited the spell, and the portal opened, and they ran through it. What they found on the other side made Piper heart stop, Chris was on the floor with Rosanna kneeling beside him.
"Chris! Are you alright?" asked Piper, as she ran to his side and kneeled down at his side..
"Yea, I'm fine, thanks to Rosanna."
"Chris, don't!" said Rosanna.
"Don't what?" asked Piper, looking at Rosanna then down at her son.
"Let me," said Leo. "Rosanna, you healed him, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did,"
"Your an Elder?" asked Phoebe.
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Paige.
"Cause I didn't want to tell you something that could change the future."
"How would that change the future?" asked Paige.
"I can't tell you that," answered Rosanna. "But that is nothing compared to what happened to Maria."
"Yeah, is she always like that?" asked Phoebe.
"No, and now that it has happened I can tell you."
"What do you mean?" asked Piper.
"She means, that before you left the first time, she had a vision." answered Chris as he got up off the floor. "That she saw you four make a mistake."
"And she let us do it anyway?" asked Paige.
"I can't change the future." said Rosanna. "Look while Maria was in the box, all the spirits that were in the box, possessed her body."
"What?" asked Piper. "That's not good."
"No, it isn't. We have to find away to get those spirits out of her, and we have to do it fast."
"Alright I will look in the Book of Shadows for a spell that will help us." said Paige.
"Look I don't mean to rush any of you, but if we don't get those spirits out of her, she will fulfill a prophecy." said Rosanna.
"Not that one!" said Chris. "It would have never been possible if not for me coming back. You warned me against coming, just for this reason."
"You might be right, but it was Maria who made the biggest mistake, she knew about the prophecy too, and she came anyway." answered Rosanna, as she crossed over to stand in front of the podium where Paige was flipping through the Book of Shadows.
"What prophecy?" asked Leo.
"If the spirits of Evil are in the body of a witch on the night of a full moon, by midnight, all the first sons enemies will be dead." said Rosanna.
"Oh my." said Piper.
"Yeah, that doesn't sound good." said Phoebe.
"What does that mean?" asked Paige. "I mean I get the whole enemy dying thing. But who the first son, and who is going to die?"
Leo glanced at Chris and Rosanna, and immediately he knew, "Oh no."
"What?" asked Paige.
"Wyatt!"
"The first son!" said Piper. "Oh no Chris, that means.."
"It means if we don't stop Maria, than we might all die." said Phoebe.
"No not all of you. Just Piper." said Rosanna.
"What? Why?" asked Phoebe.
"Cause, his only enemy is me." said Chris. "And the only way to stop me, is to make sure I am never born."
"He's right." said Piper, as she sat down on the couch in the attic. She placed her hand on her stomach. She was just weeks from giving birth to baby Chris.
"Don't worry mom, we will find Maria, and free her from the spirits." said Chris as he sat down next to her.
"But we better hurry, cause the full moon, is tonight!" said Rosanna.
"That's in 6 hours," said Piper.
"We will find her," said Leo. "Chris can you try to Scry for her?"
"Sure, no problem."
"Wait, don't you need something of hers to scry with?" asked Paige.
"Yeah, thats why I have this," said Chris as he held up a necklace. "I ripped it from her, before she left."
"Good going kid." said Phoebe.
"Thanks, you two get busy and see what you can find in the Book of Shadows, and make potions if you need them." he said talking to Paige and Phoebe. "Dad, take mom up to magic school. It might buy us some time, but not a lot, Maria will know where to look."
"Alright, I will get Wyatt, and take them both up there."
"Thanks dad."
"No problem."
So
how am I doing? The prophecy thing was a huge surprise right? This
