Meanwhile, in 2006 . . ..
Kyle had gotten the full story from Paris, while Petty and Wyatt had remained silent.
He sighed, and rubbed his temples. "Why were you two making fun of Persia and Chris, and why did you make Paris send them into an unknown time?"
The two troublemakers looked at each other, before Wyatt spoke. " We didn't send them into an unknown time. We sent them into the dark ages."
Kyle was so close to exploding, but he managed to keep his temper. "Wyatt, a dark age is a term for a time when not a lot of things were recorded, so we don't know much about them. Therefore, we don't know if a time had evil in it or not. So we don't know where they are, because we can't narrow down our search from 'the dark ages'. And why were you two making fun of them?"
Petty was the one who answered this time. "They're babies, always playing stupid baby games, and they're not proper witches. They're part Whitelighter, and they aren't even powerful like Wyatt or Aunt Paige. They haven't vanquished any demons or done anything to help fight evil, or done anything to help anyone with magic. They never use their witch powers to help, and Persia doesn't even have an active power, and Chris's is weak."
" Petty, they are older than you, but that doesn't mean they have to be grown up. They are allowed to have fun. Wyatt, you are only powerful because of a prophecy, and Paige is only powerful because she's a Charmed one. Chris and Persia have helped a lot of magical creatures with magic, you just don't know about it. Persia does have an active power, and it's anything but weak. Telekinesis is a very strong power, and Wyatt is the only one of you three who has vanquished a demon, and you have seen your cousin and your sibling help others, just not with witch magic. They prefer using their Whitelighter powers, which is good because it fits in with their destiny perfectly. Now, why did you really pick on them?" Kyle said, fighting to keep his temper in check.
Wyatt shrugged, while Petty looked at her feet. Paris, meanwhile, cocked her head and asked what Kyle had meant by 'their destiny'.
Kyle panicked, until Jake rescued him.
"Hi guys, hi Uncle Kyle! Piper's baking cookies, and I thought you guys might want to know that the timer's about to go off." Jake panted, having run the length of the garden.
While his half sister, Paris, and her two cousins ran inside, Jake stayed behind.
He turned to Kyle. "I think I know where they are."
Kyle blanched. "How do you know they're missing?"
Jake grinned. "Super senses are the only power I have. Think I'm not going to use them? I can see in the dark, eavesdrop on someone at the other side of the house, smell baking, and taste every ingredient of a cookie. How do you think I could copy Piper's recipe perfectly?"
Kyle nodded slowly, before Jake gave him another bombshell.
"Oh, yeah. Persia can send energy from her hand, into objects or demons, and make it blow up, can't she? And Chris is about to get a new power, and so is Persia, because they both have complete control over their abilities. I got that eavesdropping on the Elders when they were at Magic school to see how Paige and my dad were running the school." Jake said, his smile fading.
Kyle could have sworn he felt his jaw hit the ground.
