A/N: Well, I'm glad you're liking my story so far. I'm having fun with it so far. But since I'm back at school, I'll probably only update on the weekends. But I'll try to sqeeze a chapter in here or there during the week.

Present: Manor: Attic

Piper is looking through the book when Phoebe enters. "Did you find the demon?"

"Yeah. He's a lower level demon who uses a poisonous gas to kill witches. No known vanquish. That's it."

"What? That can't be it. How could he send Paige to the future if he's a lower level demon. There's just no way."

"He's probably working for someone who can give him that kind of power. I'll look through the book some more and see what I can find."

"What should I do?"

"Try to get a premonition off of something."

"Ok. I'll do that. We'll get her back Piper. Everything will be ok."

"I hope you're right." Phoebe left the attic to go to Paige's room.

"What have you found?" Gypsy turned from the computer screen and looked at Riley.

"I pinpointed the exact time and location that Paige came from. We just have to figure out how to send her back."

"Wait a minute. A demon sent me here. Who's to say he won't send me right back here again?" Riley did a double take.

"Wait, demon? You never said anything about a demon sending you here."

"Well, it's not like you asked me how I got here."

"What kind of demon was it?"

"I don't know."

Gypsy turned back to her computer. "Tell me what you know about him and I'll see if I can find him."

"I couldn't really tell you what he looks like because he was in human form. I don't remember seeing him use any powers. All I know is that he created a portal that sent me here."

"That doesn't narrow it down much. There are thousands of demons who can create portals. And if we don't what demon you're up against I don't think it's wise to send you back."

"Well what about sending her to before the attack happened?"

"We might be able to do that. I'll try and see if I can find a spell or something. You go tell Devon what's happening." Riley turned back into the hall and left Paige who felt somewhat uncomfortable alone with Gypsy. The fact that this woman was half darklighter was unsettling to Paige. She had no reason to trust Gypsy, but she didn't have a reason to not trust her either. She wondered why the Elders would ever alow such a child to ever be born. It went against nearly every rule that they set. As Gypsy typed into her computer Paige caught a glance of something shiny embedded in her wrist.

"Gypsy, I don't mean to pry, but, what's that on your wrist?" Gypsy stopped typing and looked down for a moment before turning to Paige.

"Oh, that shows that I'm a whitelighter and a darklighter. They started using them when the first baby was born a long time ago. They're meant to warn whitelighters against potential danger. I haven't got many friends because of this. Whenever someone sees it, they just turn around and walk away. No one wants anything to do with people like me."

"I'm sorry. I wish I had something better to say than that, but I don't."

"It's ok, I don't expect you to say anything." Gypsy continued to look at her computer screen when she came across something. "Paige, look at this. It talks about when you left. It says that your sisters were no longer the Charmed Ones and the Source and a demon named Tigris took over the world before expanding to nearby planetary systems, including this one."

"Could that be the demon who sent me here?"

"I don't know for sure, but chances are that that's him. So we're gonna have to find a vanquish and then send you back to kill him and then he and the source can't take over the world and our entire future will be changed." At this moment Riley came back into the room.

"Hey, Devon thinks we should go see the seer. He thinks she might be able to help us."

"Well, we better hurry and get there and back before dark. Come on Paige." Paige followed them down the hall and out the door where Devon was waiting in some kind of vehicle. It was almost like a tank, except it didn't have any canons. They all got in and Riley showed Paige how to put on her harness. They drove off into the steamy mists. Paige couldn't help thinking about what Gypsy said earlier, "We better get there before dark," it wasn't bright outside at all. She couldn't think of how much darker it could possibly get. But then again, this is a strange new world, and who knows what to expect here. She could hear the wind starting to pick up, quite violently actually. Her own car probably would have blown away here. Her thoughts were interupted when they came to a giant wall. They stopped in front of the gates.

"Gypsy looked back at Paige. These are the city walls, they keep up protected. The seer lives outside of the walls, in the jungle. We'll be there soon."

Devon drove forward as soon as the gates opened. They closed behind us and that's when I noticed it seemed somewhat brighter out here. This really is a strange world. She could see the jungle ahead, and soon the tank was being engulfed by the trees. It reminded Paige of the Amazon almost. But she didn't expect to see the same animals that the jungles on earth had. Who knows what kind of futuristic animals they had here. Soon they reached a small building. It was surrounded by a wall that was exactly like the city wall, but nowhere near as tall, and it also had gates. Now that she got a better look at the walls, they seemed to be made out of some kind of metal, as well as the building. They passed through the gates into what looked like a garage. The gates closed and then some kind of fog sprayed out for a minute or two. When it stopped another set of gates in front of them opened and they passed through them. The tank stopped and they all uinbuckled theie harnesses and jumped out. They walked up to the door of the building. It looked to be the only thing that wasn't made of metal. It looked like concrete, but you couldn't be to sure of anything in this place. Devon Knocked on the door and there was some shuffling inside. An old woman opened the door with her shotgun pointing right at them.

"Who is it?"

"Whoa, it's only us." Devon held the barrel of the gun away from us.

"Devon! It's about time you and your cousins came to visit me." She pulled each one into a hug but once she got to Paige she pointed her shotgun at her. "Who's this."

"Leona, it's ok. This is Paige she's a friend of ours." Gypsy took her shotgun away and took it into the house.

"Well, you're a pretty little thing. When did you start dating my boys?"

"Oh no, I'm not dating them. We just met today."

"She needs our help, magically."

"Well, alright. Come on in. Don't want to be standing outside all day, it's not safe." Paige followed everyone inside and they all sat down at an alter. "So what do you need my help for?"

Riley explained everything they knew about Paige and what had happened. "We need to send her back, but we don't know how to do that without risking sending her back to the demon."

"I think it's best to find out who the demon was and what happened in your time after you left. Then we'll decide what we should do." She turned to Paige and held out here hands. "Give me your hands." They stayed like that until Leona recieved a premonition. She came out of it after a few seconds.

"What did you see? Did you see the demon?"

"Yes. The demon was Tigris, he sent you here. And by doing that, there were no more charmed ones, and evil gained the upper hand. Your sisters don't live much longer after that."

"Oh my God. You're saying, that my sisters are dead?"

"Yes, but don't worry about that. We can change it by sending you back. And we will send you back. I know just what to do."

"How is she going to fight the demon when she gets back?"

"She'll have to be sent to before she encountered the demon and then she and her sisters can figure out how to stop him."

"Will I remember everything?"

"Yes, and it is likely your sisters will to. Now, here's what we're going to do. I don't have the power to send you back. But I know someone who does. He's a very powerful witch, he lives in another planetary system. But I can arrange for your transportation."

"When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning. I'll have the ship prepped and I'll let Luca know that you'll be coming." Gypsy looked out the window then stood up.

"We better get going it'll be dark soon." Everyone stood up and headed towards the door. "We'll be here in the morning ready to go."

They walked outside and got back into the tank. No one said anything on the way back to the house. They went through the gates when they came to the city. Just like at Leona's they stopped in a garage and the fog was sprayed again. During the rest of the drive, Paige began to wonder about the walls and the fog and why everyone seemed so worried about being outside at dark. What did these people need protection from? Maybe there was a war going on or something. That would explain the walls, but what about the fog? Paige figured she would ask once they got back to the house. They arrived there soon and went inside.

"We should probably start packing. Paige you go with Gypsy. Riley you come with me." They each went there seperate ways. Gypsy began Packing different things into a bag while Paige watched. She figured she might as well ask Gypsy about everything.

"Gypsy?"

"Hmm?"

"What is everyone so afraid of?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm talking about the walls and the garages with fog and the terrors of the night."

"Well, I told you that the walls are for our protection."

"Protection from what?" Gypsy sat down next to Paige. "There's alot about our world that you don't know. The garages with the fog, as you put it is actually somewhat like a decontamination room. The fog is pressurized radon. It eliminates anything that could the people in the city at risk. As for the walls, they protect us from the outside world. There are these horribly terrifying creatures out there. Beasts if you will. They come out at night to look for lost wanderers. They take them and poison them. It's like rabies, just one scratch and you've got it"

"Why do they do that."

"They place an egg in your lungs. The oxygen you breath keeps the baby inside the egg alive. The poison helps it to develop. Your body tries the fight off the poison, but there's not much point. And when it's ready, the baby claws through your body and you die."

"Why doesn't somebody try and wipe them out?"

"Because they're to perfect. They're tough sons of bitches. Very difficult to kill. That's why we take such strong precautions to protect ourselves. The radon weakens them for a little bit so we can keep them out of the city. They could kill us all if they got in."

"Have they always been here?"

"No. They're not indiginous. They arrived soon after the city was founded. The military had to come in while we finished building the walls. Not to many people survived. Only sixteen out of a thousand lived." At this moment Riley came rushing into the room.

"We have to go right now."

"Why? What's going on?"

"I just picked up a transmission on the radio. They know Paige is here and they're on their way here. We have to get her out of here now." Gypsy grabbed what she already packed and they all ran out of the house to the tank where Devon was already waiting. They got in and took off.

"I already called Leona, the ship is ready to go. It's in the field." Paige hearing this looked up immediatly.

"Oh yeah, with those creatures running around? You gotta be out of your mind." Gypsy turned to Paige.

"They don't usually wander from the forest. It is a small risk, but we don't have much choice. If we're captured, you'll never get home."

"Then I guess it's a risk I'm willing to take. But I hate to put you guys in danger."

"We're in danger here anyway. Plus, we promised we'd get you home." They crossed the border into the outside world. The ship was ready, waiting nearby.

"We'll check the surviellence cameras as soon as we get on board to make sure we're alone."

"What if we're not?"

"We'll improvise."

"Well Devon, as much as I love your plans, that may not be the best one yet."

"Well Riley if you have an idea I'll be happy to hear it," They pulled over and jumped out of the tank and ran up the ramp into the ship. It looked much larger than it did from far away. Paige had never anything so big before. She could get lost pretty easily in there. They cautiously walked down the hall. Devon led the way carrying a large militaristic type gun. The other two carried somewhat smaller guns. Even thought she had no idea how to use one, Paige felt very vulnerable without a gun. They walked into a room filled with moniters. Riley typed into a keyboard and they all turned on.

"Does anybody see anything?"

"Nothing. Not a goddamn thing."

"Good. So we're safe. We should probably take off."

They walked down the hall again until they got to the front of the ship where all the controls were. Gypsy sat in the chair behind the wheel and about a hundred buttons. Riley sat next to her. Devon showed Paige where to sit. She was sitting behind Riley and she buckled up the harness. Devon sat next to her. Gypsy and Riley started up the ship and they started hovering. They called out all sorts of commands that Paige couldn't understand. Eventually they started speeding towards the sky until all she could see were stars.

"Setting course for DV-927, planet Kior. Riley can you set the cooridinates?"

"What are they?"

"447-21. Can I see the map? Good, we're right on course. We're in the clear." We all undid our harnesses and got up.

"I've set our course and we should fet there in fourteen months."

"Fourteen months? I was kinda hoping I would be home before then. That's a really long time."

"Don't worry Paige. We'll be in hypersleep for most of the way."

"Oh, well then that's not so bad."

"Well Gypsy, in my opinion I think it's best that we eat something before we sleep."

"That's the next thing on the list, lets go."

Ok. I really hoped you like that chapter. More to come soon, hopefully. Please review. It's always appreciated. Oh and I'm thinking I should change the name of the story since they're not gonna be in daal sonder maal anymore, which was part of my original idea, so if you have any ideas I'd appreciate them. But you probably won't since you have no idea where I'm going with this story, but I'm still happy to hear your suggestions.
