Author's Note: Wow, this story is just coming out so phenomenally! I am so incredibly happy with the results! I never saw this story coming out like this, but it has, and it's great! Prue and Piper will remain in the future until at least chapter 38, but more chapters is very likely! Whilst in the future, Kelly, Clay, and Ryan will rescue Paige and explain everything to her. I will not be showing those scenes, but when Prue and Piper return, Kelly, Clay, and Ryan will tell them what happened. And yes, Clay is the man that I was talking about for Kelly! Their relationship will begin to develop soon, as will Paige and Andy's. Amanda is definitely the threat in the present, and in the future, the threat involving Amanda is even greater! In order to be returned to the present by the Elders, Prue and Piper must help defeat the great evil in the future! Also, I see a good 50 chapters to this story, if not more. I still have so many loose ends to tie up, including what happened in the past with Prue and Ryan. All will be revealed in time!

Anyway, here's chapter 36. I hope you enjoy it!

Halliwell Manor-Future

Prue, Piper, and Anthony orb into the living room, to find Paige, Ryan, Leo, Andy, Clay, and Kelly.

"Hey, Anthony," says Clay.

"Hey," says Anthony.

"Anthony says there's a big problem," Piper tells everyone.

"What is it?" asks Paige, concerned.

"A new Source is going to be coronated. And it's Amanda," says Anthony, solemnly.

"Oh, shit, this is not good!" exclaims Kelly.

"We didn't vanquish her?" asks Prue. She would assume that they vanquished Amanda!

"Prue, I don't think that reversal spell worked," Paige tells them. "Piper, when was your's and Prue's double wedding?"

"We had a double wedding!" ask Prue and Piper in unison.

"Ok, what the hell is going on here?" asks Ryan.

"They said that they cast a spell to see their futures and that images of the future were playing in their heads," explains Paige.

"And their memory loss must've been the backfire, because they used their magic for personal gain," says Leo.

"Right, but, they said there was a reversal spell," says Paige, confused.

"It obviously didn't work," says Andy.

"Ok, right now we have to focus on Amanda. I thought her powers were bound," says Clay.

"They were, but she found a sorcerer to unbind them. That was about 2 weeks ago and since then she's been climbing the demonic food chain and will now become the Source," explains Anthony.

"How do we stop her?" asks Clay.

"Steal the Grimoire?" suggest Leo.

"No, the Grimoire is guarded by upper level demons. None of us will be able to get past them," says Anthony. "Besides, Amanda, too, protects the Grimoire and she has almost all the powers of the Source."

"So, can't we make another potion to bind her powers before the coronation?" asks Ryan. "Then, we'll figure out a way to steal the Grimoire and destroy it."

"That could work," say Leo and Anthony at the same time.

"I'll go fill in the Elders," says Anthony, preparing to orb out.

"No, you stay here, I'll go. You know more about this situation, so you stay and help. I'll fill them in," says Leo, stopping Anthony.

Anthony nods, as Leo orbs out.

Prue and Piper look at each other. Apparently, both Leo and Anthony were still their whitelighters!

"Ok, Prue, Piper, and I will work on the binding potion," says Paige, taking charge. "Kelly, Clay, you guys figure out how to steal the Grimoire. And Anthony, Ryan, you guys figure out how to destroy the Grimoire."

No one moves.

"Come on, people, chop, chop, let's get moving. Time's a wastin'!" says Paige, clapping her hands.

Prue recognizes the leadership that Paige possesses. Maybe she could get used to Paige, after all!

Everyone heads off to do their respective jobs.

Prue, Piper, and Paige are in the kitchen, working on the binding potion.

"Do you guys remember what we put in the potion last time?" asks Paige, hoping for some help. Ever since she came home, she's felt like the only Charmed One who is of any use around here!

"No, sorry, Paige," says Prue.

"It's ok," says Paige, not showing her pain. She has to remain strong and tough; she is now the leader.

"I think we wrote the ingredients in the Book last time," says Paige. "Book of Shadows!"

The Book appears on the kitchen counter, in white orbs.

"That's such a cool power!" say Prue and Piper simultaneously.

Paige cracks a smile, trying to mask her obvious concern. Her sisters are really beginning to scare her; they seem to remember nothing and she feels completely alone!

"Can you guys try to find it while I begin to gather the herbs?" asks Paige.

"Sure," says Piper.

Paige begins taking ingredients out of the cabinet and putting them on the counter.

Prue and Piper flip through the pages of the Book of Shadows. It has gotten so thick over the past 10 years. There must be hundreds of new spells in here!

They stop on a page enitled, "Binding Potion."

"We found it," says Piper.

Paige walks over. "Ok, good. I have almost of the necessary ingredients out already."

She quickly grabs the others out of the cabinet.

"Ok," says Paige. "Let's get started!"

They add the ingredients and Prue adds hemlock root and is about to drop a ground kidney stone of a lamb in when Paige calls for it.

"Ground kidney stone!" Paige calls, as it disappears in white orbs and Paige waves her hand at the sink and it lands in the sink.

"What the hell was that?" asks Paige. "You never ever mix hemlock root and a ground kidney stone together. It could have disastrous consequences!"

"Really?" questions Piper, not remembering that.

"Ok, what the hell is going on?" asks Paige, irrationally. "You guys are really scaring me!"

Prue and Piper look at each other, knowing they might as well tell her.

"Paige, we're from the past!" says Prue, smiling.

Paige looks at them, shocked.
