Adisa
(Please read the author's note on the bottom!)
This is the third version of this chapter. It kept mutating on me. I do have the first and second versions, and I'll post them after I hear reactions on this version, if the reactions suggest so.
The portion below until the word NEW in bold, was written on December 11th, 2005. I had hoped to post it a long time ago, but unfortunately (as of January 28th) I still do not have internet. This is not quite what I had planned to write when I started this chapter, or even when I started this fanfiction. Whenever I finish and completely post this fanfiction, I will rewrite the chapters more fluently and more descriptive, so there it is.
Chapter Thirteen - Discovery
-
10:58 P.M., Still Undisclosed Location
He woke up with a jolt; a sharp, stabbing pain assaulting his chest. He groaned as he pushed himself up, trying to discover why the pain had started. A sudden pain hit his left arm and he nearly screamed. It felt like he was being tortured.
A thought hit him and he realized what was happening. Glancing around, he attempted to shimmer out, but instead orbed out… in unnatural silver-blue orbs.
-
Earlier, 7:30 P.M., Halliwell Manor
Phoebe backed away from her daughters slowly, her hands over in mouth. She was frightened and confused. Paige looked at her sister and began to speak.
"Phoebe… What's wrong?" Paige asked, racing over to her sister. Phoebe shook.
"How… How!" Phoebe screamed. Adisa flinched as her mother screamed.
"PHOEBE!" Leo's voice called as Victor Bennett walked into the attic.
"Phoebe… There's a man named Jason at the door for you." Victor said. The sisters looked at each other. Realization came to Phoebe and she shared a look of horror with Pandora Adisa.
Adisa grabbed her sister in her arms and raced to her mother. Shaking, the short woman orbed her mother, sister, and herself out. Leaving a startled Jason Dean standing in the doorway with her family.
-
7:32 P.M., Unknown Apartment -
Phoebe looked at her eldest daughter as they orbed onto a bed in an unfamiliar apartment.
"Sorry.. Mom…" Adisa said softly, setting her sister down. Adisa's eyes widened then, as if she remembered something. She raced into a room off the bedroom they were in and shut the door.
Phoebe glanced around the room. A large curio dresser made of a dark wood stood against a wall that was painted a goldenrod color, and a television sat on top of a dark nightstand. Phoebe noticed that with the exception of the goldenrod wall, the room was otherwise black. The carpet was a black color, as were three walls and the ceiling. The bedspread was even black. It scared her. Glancing up at the door Adisa had gone through, it opened, and Phoebe realized it was a bathroom as the girl came out.
"Mommy… Why me?" Pandora Adisa asked, climbing into Phoebe's lap. Phoebe felt strange as the adult woman sobbed into her shoulder.
"What's wrong, baby?" Phoebe found herself asking as she played with Pandora's hair.
"I tested it with a potion to make sure… " Pandora rasped, letting out a sob. Paradox cocked her head at the two.
"What, ladybug?" Phoebe asked. Pandora handed Phoebe a plastic object. Phoebe flipped it over and realized what it was. Phoebe didn't know how to answer. She hadn't expected anything like this to happen for a long time.
"Did the potion tell you how far?" Phoebe asked after a moment of silence.
"Two months… I guess in a way the dream I had was true…" Pandora said quietly, getting up.
"It's his then?" Phoebe asked, as Paradox crawled into her lap.
"Yeah… Mommy? Do you know who my father is?" Adisa asked. Phoebe nodded.
"Do you think he'll like me? I never actually met him before…" Pandora admitted. Phoebe realized what exactly that had meant.
"How could he not? You're his… and mine…" Phoebe said. Pandora smiled.
-
Same Time - Halliwell Manor
Piper and Paige poured over a map with a scrying crystal as Jason stared in wonderment.
"Something's wrong. It's like she's blocking us on purpose." Paige commented, as she went around again with the crystal.
"We could do a blood to blood spell…" Piper said, grabbing a pad of paper and a Crayola crayon.
"Why do you have a crayon?" Jason asked as she started writing.
"I'm not going to stand around looking for a writing utensil while a crayon is fine." Piper commented, thinking of another line. At least he knew what she was doing know.
"Can anyone hear me? Please! Someone!" a voice cried.
"Who's that?" Jason said. The four occupants of the room stared at him.
"Who's what?" Paige asked after a moment.
"The voice! It's a girl's voice!" Jason said. They looked at him incredulously.
"She's calling for help! Why does no one else hear her!" Jason asked. They looked at each other briefly.
"You aren't a witch, are you?" Paige asked. The stares turned to her.
"Please! Anyone! Mommy's hurt! And they took sissy!" the voice yelled again.
Jason gripped his head.
"Please! They! They took my sissy! They took Pan- Pandora! And Mommy's dying!" the voice continued in Jason's head.
"What's it saying now!" Piper asked as Jason shook.
"Please, they took my sissy. They took Pandora. And Mommy's dying…" Jason repeated, his grip tightening.
"Oh god! It's Paradox!" Piper said in horror. Paige faltered in her pacing and looked at Piper.
-
Same Time, 8:47 PM - Pandora's Apartment
Paradox struggled to get to her mother, the weight of her mangled leg making it harder. She knew that her mother was dying and continued to cry out for help in her head.
"Paradox? If that's you, I want to help you! I'm a friend of your mother's!" a voice filtered through Paradox's head.
Paradox jumped at the voice as realization came to her.
'Daddy!' Paradox thought. The voice did not return for nearly two minutes.
"Yes, Paradox…I'm your father… Can you help me baby?" her father's voice asked.
'Yeah, Daddy…' Paradox thought.
"Do you know where you are?" he asked.
'Pandora's house… That's where sissy brought Mommy and me! Come get me Daddy! Mommy's dying!' Paradox cried in her head.
-
9:11 PM - Demonic 'Gardens'
Pandora stood on the auctioning block, struggling against her chains as the demon began announcing her.
"Reports from the Alliance show that the witch is from around the year 2025, and has a variety of powers, including demonic ones. She's with child and the child seems to be growing good. A simple spell could convert the child into your own. Any takers?" the auctioneer announced.
"Five good witches!" a demon with one eye and three arms yelled. Pandora paled.
"Twelve of my best followers!" a demon with sickly yellow skin yelled. Pandora struggled with her shackles again.
-
Same Time - Same Place
The demon of fear watched the girl struggle with her chains and smirked. She wasn't scared of being sold, he noticed. And that to him was very interesting. He used his power to reveal what her fears were and noticed the one fear that stood above the rest. Wyatt Halliwell.
Extremely interesting.
-
Same Time - Halliwell Manor
Phoebe sat up as Jason walked in the room and looked away from him.
"Phoebe? Are you all right?" he asked. Phoebe looked back at him.
"You weren't supposed to come back for a few years… I'm glad you came when you did or I'd be dead, but… you weren't supposed to come back…" Phoebe told him.
"You didn't want me to know about Paradox?" Jason asked. Phoebe laughed slightly at that.
"Paradox is from the future, Jason… She's your daughter from the future. As in she hasn't been born yet…" Phoebe commented. Jason looked at her as if she were alien.
"Fu- Future? You can go to the past?" Jason asked. Phoebe laughed again, moving the crystal on the table beside her around the map.
-
10:15 PM - Demonic 'Gardens'
Pandora watched as the stakes for her and her unborn child rose to extreme lengths. At least an hour had past since the auction of her had started, yet she grimaced as another demon tried to get to her and was electrocuted.
She looked around the room again when her eyes met another pair. A familiar pair. She stood still, willing for one of the demons to kill her so that he would not get to her.
She knew fear was showing fiercely in her eyes, but she did nothing to stop it. Glancing up at the latest demon to raise the stakes, she realized it had been Barbarous, the demon of fear. She looked at him and willed him to notice that her worst fear was here. But he did not.
"Sold to the demon Barbarous!" Pandora whispered fiercely.
"Sold to the demon Barbarous!" the auctioneer said, scaring Pandora quite a bit.
Barbarous grasped Pandora by the wrist and shimmered away, leaving a seething Wyatt Halliwell alone.
-
10:21 PM - Barbarous's Humanworld Apartment
Pandora watched in silence as Barbarous prepared a bath. He was scaring her quite a bit.
"Barbarous? What are you doing?" Pandora asked. He faltered before looking up at her with his eerie grin.
"Why are you so afraid of the twice blessed child?" he asked. Realization came to Pandora as she looked up at him.
"He's not the Wyatt Halliwell I'm afraid of… The one he becomes is what scares me, Barbarous…" Pandora said truthfully.
"It's his child, is it not?" he asked. Pandora wondered why he wasn't acting like she knew he truly was.
She nodded.
"You and I shall raise his child as good, Princess…" Barbarous told her. Pandora's confusion increased.
"After all… that is his worst fear…"
-
10:53 PM - Halliwell Manor
Paige watched as the crystal fell on the map with a quickness as soon as she picked it up.
"Phoebe! Piper! I found her!" Paige yelled, writing down the address. The sisters, Victor, Leo, and Jason who was carrying Paradox ran into the room.
"Piper…. She's at the condo complex Cole lived in…" Paige said, glancing briefly at Phoebe.
"Well…let's go get my daughter." Phoebe said quietly, musing over the premonition of Pandora at Cole's grave. A premonition she hadn't shared.
Paige orbed Phoebe out as Leo orbed Piper, leaving Jason and Victor to watch over the children.
-
10:55 PM - Barbarous's Humanworld Apartment
Pandora heard the jingling of orbs outside the door and struggled to find a way to protect him. For some inane reason, she wanted to protect the very demon who had nearly killed her family more than once.
Quickly Pandora changed her appearance so that she looked exactly like Barbarous.
"Barbarous! Where's Adisa!" Paige demanded, seeing only Pandora-Barbarous.
"But I'm here Paige." Barbarous said, catching on.
"What is going one here!" Phoebe asked, shaking.
"Tsk-tsk-tsk- I'm the real Pandora Adisa." Pandora-Barbarous said, as she morphed back into Pandora, Barbarous morphing into Pandora at the same time.
"Which one is her, Phoebe?" Paige asked.
"I am Paige… I know what demon killed Piper…" Pandora said. All eyes were on her.
In the same way she'd told the auctioneer to sell her to Barbarous, she whispered a sentence, "You really think a demon could kill the great Piper Halliwell? Cancer is what killed her…"
"You really think a demon could kill the great Piper Halliwell? Cancer is what killed her…" Barbarous-Pandora said to the four.
Piper threw a knife that had been hanging decoratively on the wall into Pandora's chest. Pandora gasped for air as she attempted to pull the knife out. Barbarous morphed back into himself and tried to help Pandora.
"Stupid witch…" Barbarous said, pulling the knife out and throwing it back at Piper. Paige orbed the knife back, but missed him and hit Pandora's arm.
"Mom-my… don't hurt… him…" Pandora rasped as she fell into Barbarous's arms.
"Why are you trying to protect me, princess?" Barbarous muttered as he pulled the knife out of her arm and shimmered out.
"Princess!" Phoebe asked in horror as Leo ran to heal Pandora. A column of silver-blue orbs exactly like Pandora's formed and Cole Turner stood in front of them.
"She won't heal!" Leo yelled, not yet seeing Cole.
"Who is she? And where am I!" Cole asked. Phoebe looked up at him.
"She's dying Cole! Just shut up!" Phoebe blew up, her face wet with tears.
"Move!" Cole yelled at Leo. He moved out of the way and Cole placed his hands on Pandora's chest and a golden-red light formed around his hands. Pandora's wounds healed with a rapid pace and Cole felt a second heartbeat under his hands.
"Pandora… Ladybug… Why were you protecting Barbarous?" Phoebe asked, getting straight to the point, and ignoring Cole.
"The demon who attacked us… he was an auctioneer. He was selling me at the Demonic Gardens… And I saw Wyatt… he was there Mommy! He wanted her! I couldn't let him… So I used a spell… and made the auctioneer sell me to the last one to bid… I had to get away… and then Barbarous.. He saw Wyatt's fear… And wanted to make it come true… and so do I!" Pandora yelled, orbing out.
"What is going on!" Cole asked. Phoebe looked at him.
"Hell… My own personal hell on earth, Cole… My daughter is pregnant with a child of rape. She's only twenty one! She's emotionally unbalanced and just discovered her rapist came back from the future as well to get her baby. How the hell would you act?" Phoebe screamed at him. He faltered.
"How are you back!" Paige asked in horror seconds later.
"The Elders… have a screwed up sense of justice… They decided to switch my demonic powers with whitelighter ones… but… someone was hurt… I felt it…so I left while they were still switching them… which means I'm going to die and nothing can bring me back…" Cole said, trying to explain it. Paige, Piper, and Leo looked at him.
"So hurry up and die already!" Paige snarled, hatred seeping through her words.
"THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING! NOT NOW DAMN IT!" Phoebe yelled. Eyes switched over to her.
"What the hell is wrong with you Phoebe? Pandora did the same thing a month ago!" Piper blew up at her sister.
"Don't even start! My daughter is in serious peril here! Chris failed! Do you not get that! We haven't got any closer to finding why your oldest son turns into a worse evil then my ex-husband ever was!
"Wyatt Halliwell from the year 2026 or whatever fucking year Pandora's from is here, damn it! He wants his second cousin, who just happens to be his fucking daughter! He doesn't care if my daughter dies! He just wants my granddaughter!
"Pandora was so scared that she spelled a demonic auctioneer into selling her to Barbarous! Barbarous! And she knows what he is! You know I promised her I'd always be there for her? At my funeral she was handed her baby sister to raise on her own… She was 14!
"She cut her hair the day after the funeral, in mourning! Then she went to her father's gravestone and spoke to the grave! The worst fucking part of this whole mess isn't even that my granddaughter is also my grandniece!
"It's that the only person Pandora Adisa Halliwell had to talk to after Wyatt killed my second daughter and kidnapped Pandora threatening her with my nephew's life, was her father's memory! And she never even met him until five fucking minutes ago!" Phoebe ended her rant and fled.
-
11:59 PM - Pandora's Apartment
Pandora unlocked her front door throwing her keys on the table as she walked in and relocked the door behind her. Resisting the urge to burst out crying, she slid against the wall near the door and stared into the darkness.
"Pandora? Is that you?" a voice asked. Pandora looked up.
"Sammy? Why didn't you kill me?" Pandora asked seeing who it was.
"I tried… but there is something about you and you mother that makes it hard for part-demons to kill you." he said. Pandora nearly let out a sob at that.
"You're only one sixteenth human, Sammy… You should have told me who you were in the demon world…" Pandora rasped.
"I told you my name when you rammed into me in the Otherworld Market, princess… You just kept calling me Sammy…" he replied. Pandora looked up at him sadly.
"I didn't even realize it was you at first… I can't let you kill my family, you know… I didn't have them long before they died in the future… I can't lose them when I've just found them… I will kill you if you even try…" Pandora told him. He smirked.
"I know princess… I am truly evil, you know…When I'm not with you I'll be out killing innocents…" he said to her. She stared at the floor.
"I know, Sammy… I'm not as strong as my aunts and my mom… It's extremely selfish… but I would rather see my family alive and everyone else dead…. Then the rest of the world alive with me standing beside my family's graves…" Pandora spoke.
The worst part, 'Sammy' thought, was that he knew it was true. That was Pandora Adisa Halliwell's worst fear. Losing them for the good of the world.
-
Next Morning - Halliwell Manor
Piper Halliwell had heard a whisper on the air that she'd known no one else had heard. It was a whisper of a spell, and she'd heard the real Barbarous speak the words seconds after. She did not know why Pandora was protecting him at first, but had known to trust her. So she threw the dagger at the real Pandora, knowing it was Pandora.
It wasn't until nearly three in the morning that she realized what her niece had said.
Cancer is what killed her.
And with that, Piper had scoured the internet, searching for self-tests, hoping that she did not already have cancer. But… she knew, somewhere deep inside. That she already did. But she remembered something she'd heard from Chris once. Chris had lost his mother on his fourteenth birthday. So she'd survived cancer for thirteen years. Always on the brink of death.
And she realized what Chris must have discovered after his death.
What turned Wyatt Matthew Halliwell.
-
Same Time and Place
Phoebe looked up from her bed at Cole who'd watched over her the entire night.
"I'm sorry about last night, Cole… I didn't have enough energy to fully process a premonition Pandora had given me before Jason and the attack… and Barbarous… I'm sorry." Phoebe said truthfully. He looked over at her, confused.
"Pandora is your daughter, Cole… She's due to be conceived in around a month…" Phoebe told him, trying to explain.
"She's… mine? And yours?" he asked. She nodded.
"Phoebe… Do you know anything about the demons Reesi and Kiise?" he asked her.
"Just Kiise. He knows who Pandora is… He came back for her. Twice." Phoebe told him.
"They're my sons. When I was a teenager, before my demonic side was unbound, I had a relationship with a human woman… When the Elders, minus Leo, who they'd left out of their plans, had started this transfer process told me I had two sons. I didn't even know about them." Cole admitted. Phoebe sighed.
"I tried to hate you… but when I found out who Pandora's father was… I couldn't… I only remember the love I felt for you…" Phoebe cried, hugging Cole fiercely.

NEW Portion (as of January 28th, 2006)

August 23rd, 2046 - Halliwell Castle - 9:00 PM
Estrika Moriden sat on the edge of her bed, her shackles jingling against each other as she struggled. She grasped the bedframe as the shackles tightened, hoping for some peace.
"Halliwell. Your father wishes to see you." Kiise said in monotone, his eyes hollow and colorless. Estrika laughed a maniacal laugh as Kiise spoke.
"I am not nor will I ever be a Halliwell. He is not my father, Kiise. I am my mother's daughter, am I not Uncle?" Estrika said smoothly, opening her dark brown eyes to look at him.
"He is your father, Estrika, and he wishes to see you." Kiise continued in monotone.
"Sperm does not a father make, Kiise." Estrika snarled, tightening her grip on the bedframe.
"Miss Halliwell, you follow your father's demands as he is Lord over all." Kiise continued, still in monotone.
"I am not a Halliwell. My mother may have been Pandora Adisa Halliwell, and my biological father Wyatt Matthew Halliwell, but that does not make me a Halliwell! My mother was Pandora Adisa Moriden and my father was Samuel Moriden. Nothing can bring me to be the heir of Wyatt Halliwell. Not even blood and magic, Kiise." Estrika hissed. Kiise's eyes flickered to normal for a moment before they lost their color again.
"Piper Estrika Halliwell, you are to appear in Wyatt's throne room before the day is up or you shall forfeit the lives of Paige Matthews and Raleen Moriden. You have three hours." Kiise spoke as he left. The moment the door closed, Estrika burst into tears.
"Estrika. Don't go to him. We'll find a way to escape. I'll save the three of us. Don't let Wyatt have you." Paige told her grandniece, fraility coming through in her voice.
"Aunt Paige, I have to let Wyatt take me. I don't want you or my little Raleen to die. You have seen enough to last you a lifetime. If I hadn't used the spell that brought you here from 2005, then you wouldn't be in this mess. You'd still be alive in 2005, fighting to save Wyatt from becoming this... monster... Fighting to save the world. Now everyone in the years between 2046 and 2005 thinks you're dead. I've got to give faith a fighting chance, Paige. Find a spell to take us back to 2005. We've got to try. I'll go to Wyatt." Estrika told her great-aunt, wiping the tears from her face and getting up. The shackles around her feet loosened as she made her way out of the door. Paige Matthews sat on Estrika's bed, holding Estrika's three month old daughter Raleen in her arms.
-
August 20th, 2005 - Same Day as Piper's Discovery - Halliwell Manor - 10:31 AM
Paige Matthews flipped through the Book of Shadows, hoping to find a spell that would tell her what the dream she'd had the night before meant.
"Paige? P... Paige..." Piper rasped, walking into the attic. Paige looked over at her, a bit confused.
"What's wrong, Piper?" Paige asked in confusion. Piper choked back a sob and collasped in a chair.
"Phoebe! Leo!" Paige yelled, running over to Piper. The two raced into the attic, Cole following Phoebe.
"I... know... what... turns... Wyatt..." Piper cried, shaking like a leaf. The four looked at her in surprise.
"Time and Space I Call To Me,
Days and Places Pass,
Through the ages,
And through the tears,
Bring a living Charmed One Here!" a voice rang through Paige's head.
A burst of light erupted from Paige and she disappeared.
-
Same Time and Place -
"What just happened! Where's Paige!" Phoebe asked, scared. The four of them looked where Paige had been. A puddle of blood and Paige's shoes lay on the ground. All covered in a sea of dust.
"Oh... No! No!" Piper screamed in horror.
"Mommy!" a girl's voice yelled in Phoebe's head.
'Paradox?' Phoebe thought, keeping her mind off the scene in front of her.
"It's Wyatt... He's here... And he's got me..." Paradox spoke.
"Paradox? Are you all right, honey?" Jason's voice resounded in her head.
'Did he take you somewhere baby?' Phoebe thought.
"Phoebe? What's going on?" Jason's voice asked.
"He said he killed Paige! Did he kill Aunt Paige, Mommy!" Paradox asked.
'Oh... no! I'm sorry baby!' Phoebe thought in horror.
"Someone killed Paige!" Jason asked horrified. The connection was cut off.
"Phoebe! It's a trap! It's not Paradox! She's with Victor! Wyatt is trying to trick you! He wants you to get Pandora to go back to him!" Chris's voice yelled in her head.
"Chris!" Phoebe yelled outloud. Teary eyes looked at her.
"It's Chris! He spoke to me!" Phoebe cried, the agony over losing Paige and Chris echoing through her head.
-
August 23rd, 2046 - Halliwell Castle - 11:47 PM
Estrika Moriden raced through the halls and into her room, thankful she'd convinced Wyatt to take off her shackles. She raced to Raleen and Paige and shivered.
"Paige... Let's go!" Estrika told her great aunt, taking her daughter from the older woman.
"I don't have a spell, Estri..." Paige sighed sadly.
"It's all right, Paige... I have... some clarity." Estrika said, whispering the spell into Paige's ear.
"Through The Times,
And Through The Rhymes,
The Halliwell Line Has Stood Pure.
But Now The Line Has Been Tainted,
The Sisters Split Apart And Fates Feinted.
I Call Upon An Ancient Power,
To Save Many Lives and I Shan't Cower.
Reunite these Halliwells!" the two of them cast.
The room was bathed in a bright white light, and all that was left was a broken bed and blood and dust.
-
August 20th, 2005 - Halliwell Manor - 10:56 AM
Piper Halliwell wiped her teary eyes as she started to search for a sign of Paige again.
"Did it work, Estrika? Am I back home?" Paige's voice echoed through the room. Piper, Phoebe, Leo, Pandora and Cole looked around as two figures formed in the center of the attic.
"Momma!" the woman standing next to Paige yelled, running to Pandora.
"What's going on!" Phoebe asked. The woman stopped short and then all eyes turned to the two newcomers.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to summon Aunt Paige! Honest ma'am!" the woman exclaimed, eyes wide as she looked at Phoebe.
"Estrika! Calm down! If you don't, Raleen is going to wake up and scream her head off again!" Paige said with a strong tone. The woman stopped and blushed red as she looked down at the baby wrapped up in her arms.
"Paige! Is it really you?" Piper rasped, standing up slowly.
"Of course Piper... Though I suppose I know why you doubt it... I'd doubt it myself. This here's Piper Estrika Moriden Halliwell. She's a third generation Charmed One." Paige told everyone in the room. Everyone except Paige and Estrika looked at Estrika in disbelief.
"I'm really sorry." Estrika said, backing away.
"Estri! Don't!" Paige yelled. The woman laughed manically, and started to orb out, her orbs a mix between Pandora's silver blue and a nasty dark purple.
"Sorry, Aunt Paige... I can't handle the guilt." Estrika said, orbing out.
"Paige!" the sisters cried as they raced over to hug Paige.
"Don't touch me! I'm still covered in his Lordship's magix!" Paige yelped, jumping out of the way. Everyone looked confused.
"Paige... What's going on?" Leo asked. Paige shivered.
"You must not disobey his Lordship... or... He'll..." Paige choked out. Pandora looked at her in realization.
"When Estrika summoned her, it must have been during one of Wyatt's dry spells... When the excess power needed to be released so that Wyatt's extra power wouldn't kill him. He used to take it out on me. It causes an overload of power when he releases it. The overload creates a shield that disinegrates skin when another touches it. It can only... be released... " Pandora explained, stopping short.
"When he rapes a member of his blood family." Paige finished, shaking her head, trying to forget.
"Oh God..." Piper rasped on reflex.
"We need to stop this from happening to Wyatt, Piper." Paige cried, sliding to the floor.
"I'm so sorry Paige... This is all my fault..." Piper cried, falling into Leo's arms.
"It's not your fault, Piper... You didn't raise him to be evil..." Paige tried to comfort her sister despite her own pain.
"But it is Paige! I know what turned my son! It's my fault! I have cancer Paige! That's why he turned evil! Because he believed I gave up on life!" Piper cried. All eyes were on Piper.
"Wha--- What? But... No! You can't have cancer! No!" Leo rasped. Paige and Phoebe burst out into tears with Piper.
"Piper... I have an idea. It might not destroy the cancer... but it might buy you more than thirteen years. Time enough to explain it to Wyatt... Time enough to live, Aunt Piper..." Pandora said, her eyes watering. Everyone looked at Pandora with teary eyes.
"I've got to try something else first, though. Take this..." Adisa spoke, her own eyes tearing. She handed a paper to the three Charmed Ones, and handed a copy to both Leo and Cole.
"I realize that you aren't witches, of course. That's why I need you for the spell. " Adisa told them taking out her own copy.
"You knew Paige would be okay... How?" Piper asked, taking her mind off what had happened moments before.
"I had faith, Aunt Piper. I don't know why... but after what has happened in my life... I had faith..." Pandora said softly, clearing her throat and placing candles in a circle.
Pandora spoke the words of a spell, long engraved in the minds of the Charmed Ones.
"Hear these words, Hear my cry,
Spirits from the other side,
Come to me, I summon thee
Cross now the Great Divide."
Twelve seconds later, although it had seemed much longer, three figures formed. Prudence, Patrica, and Penny Halliwell stepped out of the circle.
"Hi... I'm sorry about last time, Miss Prudence. I was a bit out of it." Pandora said, holding her hand out to Prue. Prue shook it with a smile as Patty started to ask Pandora questions.
"Who are you, and why did you summon the three of us?" Patty asked. Adisa smiled.
"I'm your granddaughter. And I summoned you for a spell. It requires the most power possible. It is, after all, an arachic type." Pandora spoke, touching the back of her head.
"Blood to Blood, I Summon Thee
Bring My Daughter Straight to Me." Pandora cast, smiling at her family.
Within two seconds, Estrika and her daughter appeared in the room.
"Why the hell did you summon me here!" Estrika demanded, snarling at Pandora. Pandora just looked at Paige with a knowing look.
"Chris! Wyatt! Paradox!" Paige called. The two children where orbed in by Paige's power.
"I am Pandora Adisa Halliwell from the year 2026 I am twenty-one years old. My daughter, Piper Estrika Moriden Halliwell is from the year 2046, and came here with her daughter Raleen. As most of you know, Phoebe Halliwell is my mother, and as only two of you know, Cole Turner is my father. My little half sister, Paradox, is the daughter of Jason Dean, my mother's ex. I have brought six different generations here to cast a spell that can help prevent Piper Halliwell from dying of cancer in thirteen years. If she should die, Wyatt Matthew Halliwell will be corrupted and become a worse Source than Cole Turner was." Pandora spoke, giving off an air of confidence.
"Don't... panic..." Pandora then said as a figure shimmered in.
It was Barbarous.
Every adult except Pandora moved to attack him.
"I said don't panic. If he should attack any of you, the spell on him will cause him long immense pain and death." Pandora said, moving in front of Barbarous. Pandora then handed the newcomers a copy of her spell.
"Ready?" Pandora asked. They all nodded, although still wary of Barbarous.
"Hallowed Calls,
In Rusted Halls,
Life Cut Short by a Fate Feinted.
Time Has Passed,
But The Pain Has Not.
Dreams Diminshed and Not Recast,
Evils Not Allowed To Rot.
Let Fate Feint Again,
Thus Be Our Ways of Pagan.
the group spoke, the children joining in in their own ways.
End of Chapter Thirteen
A/N:
I entered many aspects into this chapter that were originally going to be in later chapters, so please bare with me. Ask questions as you please and I will answer. Chris's comeback will be sooner than planned, since I nearly put it in this chapter.
Sorry about the characters who weren't in character, but it was done that way on purpose. I do not know the exact date of Chris's birth, so the dates set in the NEW portion are not necessarily correct.
Chris may not be saved yet, and Barbarous may turn on the group. You never now.
