She turned the knob and, taking a deep breath, pushed the door open. When she stepped into the room she felt an immediate tension fill the room. She raised her hands, palms facing outwards.
"Hey guys! It's only me! Don't attack!" she called out into the dark room. "It's Turner!"
Almost right away, about six sighs of relief echoed throughout the room. The lights were flipped on after a few seconds and Phoebe ran to her daughter and flung herself into her arms giving Turner the biggest hug in the world. Cole stood by awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Turner smiled at him and pulled him into the hug too.
When they were done hugging each other, Turner faced the others completely forgetting about her appearance. Piper covered her mouth as it formed a round "O" of shock, Paige gasped, and Phoebe stuttered softly. Turner looked at Chris and saw that that he was clenching his fists and Leo was looking down at his feet shaking with anger. And Cole was just staring intently at her.
"What? What's wrong?" Turner looked around confused, then she remembered her bruises. "...Oh…" She hugged herself uncomfortably, trying to hide the marks Wyatt had left on her. Ashamed of herself she looked away. Piper walked to her and turned her around, lifting her face up by her chin to reveal two brown eyes glistening with tears.
"Did he do this to you?" she whispered softly. Turner only nodded in reply before falling down on her knees and breaking out in tears. "How can Wyatt turn out like this?" Piper held Turner's shaking body solidly in her arms.
"You don't know him like we do Mom! He's an animal…" Chris answered his mother's question quietly.
"Oh my God… Wh-Wh-Wyatt did this?" Phoebe cried softly taking in Turner's appearance.
"It's-It's not his fault! He's evil right now; he's not controlling himself! The source is!" Turner tried to defend him.
"Why are you trying to defend him?" Chris asked furiously grabbing Turner by her shoulders and shaking her.
"Because! No matter what happens he's still your brother and my cousin!" She pushed Chris away.
"Don't you mean husband?" Chris replied bitterly.
"Chris, don't be like that! That's not him anymore! It's the source!" Turner argued.
"How can you say that? After everything he's done to you?" Chris was yelling now.
"Chris, be quiet! Someone'll hear you!" Piper shushed.
"It doesn't matter anymore! Who really cares now? After all, since Turner's on his side now!" Chris hysterically screamed.
"Chris! What's wrong with you! I am not on his side! But you can't deny the fact that he's the only family we have left, apart from each other!" Turner yelled back.
After hearing those words everyone went quiet. Turner realized what she had just done. She slowly stood up and wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand. She fumbled with her hands for a while thinking of something to say, knowing that she had hurt her aunts, uncle, and parents n a very bad way.
"What do you mean? You still have us! Or are we just not family anymore cause we're from the past?" Paige asked quietly, her voice quivering.
"No! Aunt Paige! It's not like that I didn't mean it like that! It just accidentally came out!" Turner replied back softly.
"I think that you should just go back to calling me Paige from now on!" Paige said back bitterly. "Seeing as how we're not family."
"No… please I'm sorry!" Turner was about ot cry again.
"Turner, if you're sorry then why'd you say hat in the first place?" Piper asked.
"Because… you don't know how hard it is for me… me and Chris." Turner shouted back. "How hard it is for us to see all of you again after all these years. We HAVE to go back to the future after we're done saving Wyatt and stuff. Back to a future where we don't have all of you! To a future where you died and abandoned us! Back to a future where we don't have a family."
"Oh my God! Sweetie we're so sorry! We didn't know you felt that way!" Phoebe was crying too.
"She's not the only one! You asked why I never told you guys before right? Well, there's your answer!" Chris added in. "Turner, man, I'm sorry for what I said! I guess I just let my anger get the best of me! Forgive me?"
"When haven't I?" Turner smiled at her cousin and pulled him into a tight hug.
After a few more minutes of mushy, family moments everyone got their heads screwed on right and started thinking about how they were going to get home.
"There's no spell in the Book of Shadows for time travel anymore, I took it with me when Bianca took me back. Turner, how'd you get to future anyways? Since you didn't have the spell, how'd you do it?" Chris said.
"Simple, me and you are connected remember? I just used a tracking spell, modified it a bit, and used the connection to get to you!" Turner shrugged.
"Well, how can we use that?" Phoebe asked.
"Well we all have a connection to Wyatt right? I mean Baby Wyatt! So we can use that connection to write a spell and get back home, to the past!" Chris explained.
"Oh my God! Leo, we totally forgot about Wyatt! We left him home alone! Who knows how long it's been! What if there's some sort of weird time difference! Do you think he's okay?" Piper started freaking out.
"Piper, honey, relax! You know how strong Wyatt is, he can take of himself! And he has his shield to protect himself. Right now, all we can do is work fast and get the spell done." Leo comforted.
"Okay, you guys! Lets get to it! But remember, this will not be easy at all! Wyatt will fight with every fiber of is being to keep me and Turner here!" Chris warned, but everyone was intent on keeping the plan! So then they all started to get together the needed stuff to make their plan on getting home work.
