CHAPTER FOUR

"Well thanks for the welcoming," Kailyn said sarcastically as she pulled herself up. Siobhan went to check on her while Amanda threw her arms out. Panic crossed her face.

"He's not freezing," She exclaimed.

"I told you before – they're witches," Kailyn replied.

Chris waved his hand, sending another telekinetic blow at Kailyn, but she just cut it off with her own telekinesis, allowing the two to join together and backfire, throwing everyone in the room backward.

Siobhan struggled into a sit, and then turned to Kailyn. "Next time we won't do that, will we?" She demanded furiously.

"Yeah," Kailyn muttered, getting up. She looked across the room at Chris and Wyatt while they got up.

"You know, let's not help out, and instead go back home. Kailyn, get the spell."

Kailyn wiggled her finger and the book flew to her. She held it open and frowned.

"Why's the page empty?" She demanded. Siobhan pulled the book from her, only to have it ripped out of her hands once again by Chris.

"Who are you?" He demanded.

"I'm Amanda Reese; these are my sisters, Kailyn Hollow and Siobhan Blaire. We're the Sacred Ones, and we're apparently here to help," Amanda said.

"Help with what? Where are the sisters?" Chris demanded, preparing to throw the girls out the window.

"Okay, we're the only sisters we know of, and help? We're not sure. Isn't there any sort of crisis that you could use help with?" Amanda asked.

"That's what the Elders told us, at least," Kailyn said. Siobhan took her place in front of her sisters prepared to protect them at any cost.

"The elders?"

"Let us explain. Um, we're from another world, and where we come from, Witches are ordered around by -."

"I know what Elders are. We still have them here," Chris replied. He continued to eye the three hesitantly, but felt his barriers lower a bit.

"Do you?" Amanda asked, raising her eyebrow to look suspiciously at Kailyn.

"How can we be sure you aren't a demon?" Siobhan asked; her voice hard.

"How can I be sure you're not?" Chris demanded.

"Oh, this is ridiculous," Amanda exclaimed, pushing Siobhan out of the way. "Look, according to the spell, we can't get home until we fix whatever's wrong in this world. So you better tell us what's wrong, or else I'm going to be late for work."

Siobhan's jaw dropped. "You don't have a job," She said.

Amanda froze. "Oh yeah. I think I've been meaning to mention that to you, Siobhan."

"Not now," Kailyn cut in. "Siobhan, try to get a reading off this place."

Siobhan closed her eyes, willing a premonition to come. After a moment, she gasped as she saw the two strangers in front of her in this same attic. The baby was in a play pen and the man was looking through the Book of Shadows. The scene flashed forward to the man moving forward towards the baby when he was unexpectedly stabbed. Another man appeared, and said something that Siobhan couldn't hear.

She stumbled back into Amanda and Kailyn's arms. "I'm fine," She snapped, pulling away. Her eyes met Chris's.

"I think I have an idea as to what we're supposed to be doing here," She whispered softly. "Lately I've been having these dreams, and now it all makes sense. You're from the future, here to save you older brother."

"Doesn't that sound familiar?" Amanda asked, glancing over at Kailyn.

"How do you know that?"

"Tell me, have you been attacked by the Spider demon yet?" Siobhan demanded.

"No."

"So you're Father still hasn't found out. Well we won't have to worry about that. I have a faint idea who's after your brother, but I could be wrong," She said.

"How would you know?"

"What's your name?" Siobhan asked.

Chris hesitated, looking at the three women. "Chris Halliwell. This is my older brother, Wyatt."

"He looks a little too young to be your older brother," Amanda acknowledged.

Kailyn turned to her. "Thus the future part," She said.

"Ri-ght."

"Can we get back to what's going on?" Chris demanded.

"Okay then. You mentioned sisters earlier. Who are they?"

"My Mom and Aunts - the Charmed Ones. They just cast a spell to go to another world," Chris explained.

Siobhan sighed. "They probably went to the one we just came from."

"But we can't get back without fixing things, and they wouldn't be allowed through if they didn't need to fix anything there. What could they possibly need to help with?" Kailyn wondered out loud.

"Maybe they can help Sadie with her mission."

"Who's Sadie?" Chris asked.

"Oh, she's our -."

"Friend from the future," Kailyn interrupted Amanda, now glaring at her, knowing full well that her older sister had a big mouth. "She's here to save our nephew from being killed. If he dies, the whole world gets destroyed."

"That sounds a lot like my problem."

"Yes, only your problem is much worst," Siobhan said softly. She looked sympathetically at him, and then back at her sisters.
