Chapter 16
Piper opened her eyes and groaned she carefully so as not to wake her sisters and stood up she stretched working out the kinks in her back she trotted down stairs her sisters and her had chatted until about four thirty last night they'd filed Phoebe in on what happened while she was out she filled them in on what she'd been doing and feeling Piper grabbed a large pan some eggs and made three lots of scrambled eggs on toast with fresh orange then she grabbed some bacon and made her sisters and her a bacon sandwich each complete with ketchup and for Leo she did toast covered in strawberry jam
"BREAKFAST!" she called as if a herd of elephants where coming down she heard thundering footsteps and Poppy Chris Wyatt Leo Phoebe and Paige all appeared settling in their places everyone ate I silence Poppy looked as if she was in need of a serious hug
"Sweetie are you ok?" she asked Poppy nodded then with a sideways glance at Chris she stood up
"I'm not hungry sorry aunt Piper" she left Paige stared after her
"I think she misses her dad" she whispered she followed her daughter
"Poppy" she asked
"Mum I need to get ready to go to school"
"Are you sure you wanna go?" Paige asked
"Well there's no good waiting around it's not like Dad's coming back so what's the point of waiting around here while everyone treads carefully around me!" Poppy nipped
"Honey" Paige pulled her little girl into a hug
"I just don't understand why the elders always ruin things" she said followed by a whisper "I'm gonna fix it though" which Paige didn't hear
"Ok you get ready come and say bye before you go though" she kissed her daughter lightly and left
"Chris!" she shouted her youngest cousin raced in panting
"Are we ready?" he asked she nodded
"You don't have to do this you know?" she said
"Yes I do it won't work anyway if only you do it I mean" he told her "Besides it was never supposed to be this way we shouldn't have our powers now it would have been different if the elders weren't so impatient" Chris told her she cuffed him
"You sound all grown up" she teased
He blushed and smiled
"Get Wyatt," she told him he raced out and Poppy stared at the space where her younger cousin had stood seconds ago
"I wonder what'll happen to us," she thought aloud
A Sleepy eyed Wyatt padded into the room
"Wyatt it's time" she told him he nodded
"Shrimp said" he yawned Poppy rolled her eyes
Chris came back in all three joined hands and orbed up into the elders court room
The three children looked around in shock
"It worked!" Wyatt said happily
"Excuse me!" came a stern voice which belonged to an equally stern elder
"Jennie" Wyatt spat she smiled falsly
"What can I do for you" she asked
"We wanna speak to Kyle" Chris blurted out Poppy and Wyatt turned to face him Poppys eyes showing the confusion Wyatt felt
Jennie sighed
"Please just for a few minutes Poppy wants to say goodbye cause he won't be coming back will he" Chris was clutching at straws but Jennie seemed to buy it
"Follow me" she lead them into a small stone chamber with a bed and a pile of stuff and Kyle sat hunched up moddily in the corner
"Kyle!" Jennie greeted him brightly he growled deep inside his throat
"You have guests" she told him his eyes widened in shock as the three charmed ones strolled in Wyatt turned just before Jennie stepped in
"You might wanna go do some elder business cause we don't wan you here so go ruin someone else's family" he snarled Jennie seemed completely unfazed by his words simply turned and stomped off
"Cow" Chris spat Kyle smiled
"What are you doing here?" he asked Poppy was already hugging the life out of him
"We came to tell you are plan" Poppy told him
"Which is?" Kyle asked
"Were resighning giving up our powers" Chris said
"except were giving up everything we're not coming back Mom and dad and you and aunt Paige will get to have a normal life" Wyatt finished Kyle opened and closed his mouth
"Say something Dad" Poppy begged
"Giving up everything?" Kyle asked
"Were making it so none of us where ever born"
"What! Why?" Kyle asked clearly upset
"Because Dad before us anyof us Mom and Aunt Phoebe and Aunt Piper had magical yeah but normal lives they didn't have to worry about wether or not their children where safe" Poppy explained
"Why are you telling me this?" he asked his daughter she looked up reflecting the only seeable trait she had from her dad her eyes
"Because we want somebody to know why we had to do this if we told Mom or Dad or even our aunts they'd try and stop us" Wyatt admitted
"What makes you think I won't?" Kyle whispered
"Cause you know were right" Chris said all three nodded
"Will I or any of us remember you?" he asked
Poppy shrugged
"We don't know I mean if you do it'll only hurt more but we don't want you guys to forget us either" Wyatt said Kyle sighed
"goodbye lads" he shook each ones hand
"You guys would have made great charmed ones in fact you already have" he smiled before turning to his daughter
"Two goodbyes I guess we hold the record" he joked but it didn't stop his tears falling
"I'll always remember you sweetheart" he hugged her but she was crying to hard to answer
"I love you dad" she said
"I love you too" he squeezed her before releasing her he nodded
"Go on I'm proud of you all three of you" he smiled
"Just before we go why are you in here?" Wyatt asked
"Elders know I came to see Paige last night I'm being recycled" he admitted
"NO!" Poppy begged he shook his head
"Go! Before it's to late"
"I'm 15 dad I still have my whole life to do it" she joked before Wyatt dragged her away Kyle stood stock still
"15?" he whispered
"WAIT!" he ran after them but bounced off his shield
"What is your problem?" asked Jennie
Kyle almost told her the charmed one's plans but he didn't he knew they needed to do it for themselves but if Poppy was 15 that meant something had changed she'd never been killed when she was 14 they'd saved her! He crossed his fingers wishing them luck
