Thanks for all the reviews, I appreciate them very much. And since they have been so nice, I have written more chapters, all the way to the end, so get ready, things are going to be bumpy for the Charmed Ones.
Chapter 8: Scry
"Chris have you found her yet?" asked Phoebe, as she looked up from the Book of Shadows.
"If I had I would have said so by now." he answered. "Have you two found any spells that might help?"
"Yea a few." said Paige. "We have one to draw the spirits out, and one to vanquish."
"Good, you may need all of them that you can find," said Rosanna, as she step away from the wall where her and Leo were talking.
"Hey Rosanna, I don't mean to pry or anything," said Phoebe. "But you are pretty young to be an Elder."
"Yeah, I am 24 actually. I died when I was 18."
"Was it a shock for you? I mean did you even know about magic?" asked Paige.
"Yeah, I knew about magic and witches. Even knew about white-lighters."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I grew up with witches, what can I say?"
"How did you die?"
"Paige!" said Chris. "Don't make her remember that!"
"Remember? How could I ever forget?" she said glaring at him. "I died8 years ago. That 's all I can say though, cause if you knew how, you would try to prevent it."
"Something tells me your right, I would." said Paige.
"Alright one of you need to scry over there, or get out." joked Phoebe.
"Rosanna, come here for a minute." said Chris. After she got close enough, she leaned over so he could whisper in her ear. "Ok, this necklace isn't doing the trick, go to her mom's room and get something, maybe I can get lucky with it."
"Yeah or not, maybe her mother will see what I have and figure out who Maria is." she whispered angrily. "Wait I can get the Amethyst Crystal and we would have a power boost, maybe that will help."
"Alright, good idea." he said.
"What you two whispering about?" asked Phoebe.
"Nothing," said Rosanna. "Paige, do you have that Amethyst Crystal your Gran gave you?"
"Yeah it's in my room in the top drawer of my dresser... wait how did you know about it?"
"Cause, you still have it in the future." Rosanna said as she orbed out of the room, returning in 10 seconds with the crystal in hand. "Here you go Chris."
"Thanks." he said, silently staring at her.
"So you do know us in the future?" asked Paige. "Not what you told Piper and me earlier today."
Rosanna knew she had to walk gently around this subject or they would figure out who she was. "Yes and no. I am an Elder now, but as a white-lighter I was sent to help a young witch learn to use his powers wisely."
"Who Wyatt?" asked Phoebe.
"No me." answered Chris. "Rosanna thought me and Maria how to use our powers."
"Whoa you taught a demon how to use magic?" asked Phoebe.
"She not a demon!" yelled Rosanna.
"Excuse me, but she is too!" yelled Phoebe.
"Yeah, well what would you say if I told you, that it was you who asked me to teach her in the future?"
"I did, I mean I do?"
"Yeah, cause you saw something good in her."
"Oh."
"Yeah, and even in the future, you still think everyone cares what you think, and we don't!" yelled Rosanna.
"Rosanna!" yelled Chris. "You can blame her for the future."
"No I can't, but if I tell her how alone and bitter she is, maybe she will change!"
"I'm alone?" asked Phoebe.
"Yeah, cause you butted in where you didn't belong, hell even Chris hates you in the future."
"Rosanna!" yelled Chris. He stood up from the scrying table and handed the crystal to Leo. "Here you try." He walked over to Rosanna until he stood right in front of her. "What is wrong with you?"
"Her!" she yelled as she pointed at Phoebe. "Have you forgotten what she did to you in the future!"
"No I haven't, but I can't make her pay for it now. Just like I can't make baby Wyatt pay for what he hasn't done yet."
"Not the same thing and you know it!"
"Wait!" yelled Phoebe. "Chris let her tell me, what did I do to him?" she asked as she stepped in front of Chris to stand face to face Rosanna.
"Phoebe, let it go!" said Chris.
"No, tell me, please." she said looking at Rosanna.
"You broke his heart, twice!"
"How?"
"He was dating this girl, and because you didn't like her, you sabotaged the relationship. The girl knew what you were doing, but Chris loved you, and wouldn't listen. So he dumped her. Then there was Bianca, yet again you tried to derail the relationship. Bianca was smarter than you though, she got you into a shouting match where you blurted out the truth, and Chris left with her."
"I did that? Chris I am so sorry." she said as she turned and faced her future nephew.
"You don't have to apologize, you haven't done it yet." he said, crossing his arms in front of his chest. He looked over her head at Rosanna, looking at her in just a way to tell her to cool it.
"Then it's true?" asked Phoebe.
"Yeah." he said
"OK, wait I can kinda understand why I would have a problem with Bianca, I mean she was a Phoenix, I mean now I know better, so hopefully in the future I won't jump to conclusions." she said as she turned back to Rosanna "But why did I hate the first girl?"
"Cause she was a white-lighter, and you thought it would end up the same for her and Chris, as it did for Leo and Piper." answered Rosanna. "But it wouldn't have."
"How do you know?" asked Phoebe.
"Because I loved him!" yelled Rosanna. After it was out of mouth she wished she could take it back. "Chris I am sorry. I didn't mean to."
"I know you didn't." he said as he pulled her close to him. "I loved you too." he whispered.
"Ok, look not to sound insensitive here, but we are running out of time here." said Leo. "And scrying isn't working."
"Let me try." said Rosanna, as she pulled away from Chris. She took the scrying crystal away from Leo, and started turning the chain around.
"Look if you don't know how to do that, it won't work." said Phoebe.
"I know how to do it, shut up!" and she said the words even Phoebe knew by heart:
Give me sight through the blackest bile
Show me the faces I revile
As Rosanna got the last words out the chain snapped and hit the map. "Got her, do you two have the spells?"
"Yeah we have them, but we need Piper, it takes the power of three." answered Phoebe.
"Well we can't take a chance on the prophecy coming true, so I will take Piper's place for now." said Rosanna.
"You can't, it only works for me, Phoebe and Piper." said Paige.
"Actually she can," said Leo. "If what she was telling me earlier is true."
"What do you mean?" asked Phoebe.
"Wait Dad, let me explain." said Chris. "When mom died, her powers were absorbed by the person she was hugging at the time of her death, Rosanna was 16 at the time, it was her birthday."
"Leo how did you, wait, why did she tell you?" asked Phoebe.
"Cause I asked why the Book of Shadows trusted her."
"It would make sense, it senses Piper." said Paige
"That's right." said Rosanna.
"But earlier you told Piper that there wasn't a Power of Three in the future."said Paige. "Are we dead?" she said pointing to herself and Phoebe.
"That's cause there isn't really. You two are still alive, but you Paige vowed to never use magic again after Piper died."
"Oh." said Paige.
"Alright then let's go, before Maria disappears again." said Phoebe.
"Alright we have the spells, let's go." said Paige. "You coming Rosanna?"
"Yeah. Chris, you and Le.. your dad, go up to magic school in case you need to defend Piper, alright?"
"Got it." said Chris. "Be careful." he said as he and Leo orbed up to magic school.
"Why don't you just try to see whether we win or not?" asked Phoebe.
"And lose my powers cause I used them for personal gain like you did? No thanks!"
Two more chapter to go, and it will be finished. Please review and let me know how I am doing. Will the prophecy come true? Or will they save Piper? Will Wyatt have a change of heart? Keep reading to find out!
Till next chapter...
