Charmed is not mine. AHHH. Lol sorry. I'm just really um, I don't know. I caught the rambling bug. I wouldn't shut up today at school. LOL. This is like the fifth time I've had to fix this chapter. Long story. Anywho, um…
The-Cheese-Fairy: Glad you liked it. I loved that 'stupid Whitelighter' line too. I thought of the 'sir' ma'am' thing from the episode Charrrmed. You know, where Paige is pissed because someone called her ma'am. Ah, good times, good times. Thanks for the drinking/ club/bar age's thing. It's kind of sad that you know what my country's age is and I don't. Lmao. I'm rambling, sorry. Thanks for the review!
Prince Halliwell: Glad you liked the chapter. I'm glad you liked the slip up Jess made. Thanks you for the review!
Kira was pacing back and forth in the attic. Blair sat patiently on the couch, awaiting the return of Kyle, Paige, Jess and Duncan. Gold lights appeared and formed Paige, Kyle, Jess and Duncan.
Blair shot up from the couch and walked over to the four. "Finally! What happened? Where did you go? Are you alright?"
"Wow, calm down boy. We're fine. The big question is why the hell did you screw up the spell?" Jess asked as calmly as she could.
"Well Blair here wasn't expecting Paige and Kyle to come in." Kira answered for her brother. Blair stood staring at Jess for a couple minutes and finally spoke.
"What happened? Something happened. I can tell."
Jess sighed. "It's nothing really. Just I can't orb."
Kira and Blair's mouths dropped. "What? Why?" they said together.
"Why does everyone say it like that? I don't know why I can't orb."
"Can you do anything else?" Kira questioned.
Jess tried to form an orb ball, but with no success. She tried to telekinetically orb the Book to her, but, again, with no success. "Nope. My powers just like, vanished."
"Jess, what if you being killed in the alternate reality has something to do with this." Paige said.
"Do you want me to go check with the Elders?" Kyle asked.
I am an Elder, why don't I know what is wrong? "Sure. Go check with the Elders. Have fun." Jess said enthusiastically. Kyle lightly kissed Paige before orbing out.
"Um, why don't you sit down Jess and I'll check the Book. Maybe there's something that will help." Kira suggested. Jess dragged herself to sit down on the couch. Duncan followed Jess to the couch and sat beside her. Kira flipped through the pages of the Book, looking for a solution.
"Oh shoot. Sorry guys and gals, but I've got to get to Magic School. I'd love to stay and help, but I've got to get going. I shall see you all later." Paige waved and orbed out.
"It's going to be okay Jess. Don't' worry." Duncan put his arm around his former girlfriend. He always hoped that Jess and he would be together forever, and since Blair, Kira and Kylie confirmed that, he didn't worry about the future so much as the present.
"Duncan, magic was my whole life. I may never get my powers back now. I was born with magic. Hell, my father was an Elder." Jess realised what she said. "Oops, did you know that?"
"No, but now I do. Jess, don't worry about what will happen in the future so much as what happens right now. We'll get your powers back. I promise."
"Duncan, don't make promises you can't keep."
"Ha, we got something!" Blair triumphantly shouted. Jess and Duncan quickly walked to their future children. Kira showed them the spell she and Blair found.
"Um, Blair, Kira, I hate to spoil this but, that spell will send us back to the past. You know, where we just came back from." Duncan stated.
"Yeah, but if we send you back to the other past you just came from, then you can stop your past self from killing past mom. Her powers may come back then." Blair responded.
"Okay, can we at least wait until Kyle comes back? I don't want to go time travelling again if we don't have to." Jess walked back over to the couch and sat down. "In the mean time, what's the future like?"
"We can't tell you anything more about the future. It could change something we don't want to change." Kira explained.
"Well, can you tell us something interesting that wouldn't change the future?" Duncan asked.
"Uh, well, when we were about five and mom had to go 'Up There', we would ask where she went. Dad would always say she went to Elder Land and we thought it was an amusement park." Blair told his parents. The group had burst into laughter after Blair finished.
"Was I ever around? You know, to take care of you two, and Kylie?" Jess asked once she stopped laughing.
"Yeah, you were always around. Except maybe for the occasional call from the other Elders. It was more of someone else not being around. Crap!" Blair realised he said something about the future that wasn't meant to be said.
"You mean I'm not around in the future? Did I die or rather, get vanquished?" Duncan asked sadly.
"It's not so much that you died or anything but,"
"Blair, we can't tell them." Kira interjected. "Sorry mom and dad, but we can't tell you."
"Is that why you came back? To stop me from something?" Duncan questioned. Kira and Blair looked down at the floor. A few tear drops fell from Kira's eyes. The sadness in their eyes was unbearable for Jess to handle.
"You didn't come back for whatever happened, did you?" Jess' face fell when they didn't answer.
Kira looked up and spoke. "We can't change that. It's going to happen no matter what we do."
"What about when we were talking in the hall. When you said you came back to help the Pentacles and the Charmed Ones, you also said you came back to and I quote 'keep someone from doing something they'll regret for the rest of their lives, in which case an ultimate evil arises'." Jess voiced.
"Yeah we said that, but it wasn't about Duncan. It was about someone else." Blair said.
"Then who was it?" Duncan finally opened his mouth.
"We can't tell you that." Kira answered. "But, unfortunately, right now we have to go do something." Kira disappeared in purple orbs.
"I'm sorry. But we can't change it. It's something, beyond us, that can't be changed." Blair's head dropped once more as he orbed out in his purple orbs. Jess rested her head on Duncan's shoulder. At first he was surprised, but he slowly put his arm around her again. They sat for what seemed like an eternity.
Kira appeared in Phoebe's office at the Bay Mirror. Fortunately, the door to her office was closed. Phoebe looked up at the sound of the orbs. She jumped a bit, for she wasn't expecting Kira.
"What are you doing here? If someone would have walked in," Phoebe started.
"Sorry, but we came to talk to you." Kira interrupted.
"We?" Phoebe only saw Kira. "I only see you." Kira motioned her hand to her left side. Blair materialized in purple orbs. "Oh. So what do you need?"
"We need your power of premonition." Blair said.
"Why do you need me to get a premonition?" Phoebe asked cautiously.
"You'll understand when you get the premonition. Come with us." Kira reached over and grabbed Phoebe's hand. The two females orbed out, followed by Blair.
The door to the Manor opened as Piper, Leo and their two boys walked in. The house was silent, too silent.
"Hello, anyone home?" Piper yelled out.
ATTIC
Piper's voice echoed throughout the house. Jess lifted her head off of Duncan's shoulder. "Duncan, you better go. I'll talk to you when I found out what's going on."
"Alright," Before he dark orbed out, Duncan lightly pecked Jess' lips. "I love you no matter what happens." He disappeared, leaving Jess alone in the attic. She wiped her eyes, getting rid of any tears and walked out of the attic.
Piper looked around the living room with Wyatt holding her hand. Leo was not far behind her with Chris. Jess strolled into the room.
"Hi Piper, you called, sort of." Jess smiled at Wyatt, "Hey little guy. How was the zoo?"
"He loved all the animals there. Especially the monkeys." Leo said as he set Chris in his playpen.
"You know, monkeys can be dangerous. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, right?" Jess smirked, as did Leo. Piper stood there looking at her husband.
"You know, you shouldn't laugh until those monkeys come for you." Piper said remembering when Paige had lost her voice, Phoebe had lost her hearing and she had lost her vision. "How did you know about that?"
"Oh, your Whitelighter here told me about it, before I actually met you and your sisters. Anyway, did you enjoy the time with your family?" Jess asked.
"Yeah, we both did. Thanks for telling us to go. We had a lot of fun." Leo narrated.
"Hey, I'm just here to help. Really." Wyatt let go of Piper's hand and grabbed on to Jess' hand. He looked up at Jess and the child orbed Jess and himself out.
Purple orbs filled a cavern type place in the Underworld. Luckily, there were no demons around, yet.
"Okay, why are we here?" Phoebe asked the twins.
"Premonition, remember." Kira replied. Phoebe looked at the 17 year old. Kira sighed. "See that scorch mark over there." Kira pointed to the black mark on a small platform. Phoebe nodded.
"Touch it. Try to get a premonition." Blair continued.
"Why can't you just tell me why you need me?"
It was Blair's turn to sigh. "Because we don't have the power of premonition and you do. We need to know if something has happened. You're the only one that can help us. Please, help us." Phoebe was silent for several seconds. "Please, I'm willing to beg." Blair began to pout his lips.
"Alright, I'll help. Just, be patient." Phoebe walked over to the scorch mark and held her hands over it. A few moments, and nothing happened. She was about to pull away when her eyes closed suddenly and she was swept into a premonition.
Premonition
(AN: sorry if this spell makes no sense. I looked up each word in Latin, and then wrote it down.)
A demon, looking very much like Zankou, chanted a spell.
"Orior valens pravus.
Ego arcesso tu exsisto denuo
Itaque deleo prosum."
The ground started to shake and a loud roar could be heard throughout the Underworld. A demon with white skin, red tribal markings and spikes running along his back emerged in a twister of smoke.
"Zankou, you have awakened me. For that I am grateful. What is it that you want?" The demon spoke.
"Diriel, I want you to help me defeat the Charmed Ones and the Pentacles. Their powers will be no match for your powers and mine combined. What do you say?"
"I say we recruit any demons, warlocks or darklighters that want to help with the fight."
"So we shall. Let's get to work."
Premonition
Phoebe slowly opened her eyes. She wasn't expecting to see what she saw.
"Phoebe what did you see?" Kira asked softly.
"I saw Zankou and another powerful demon, Diriel, I think his name was. They were planning to destroy the Pentacles and the Charmed Ones. Why did you want me to see that?"
"That was the demon that killed someone very close to our family, and you and your sisters, especially Paige." Blair vaguely explained.
"Why Paige?" Phoebe questioned.
"You'll find out soon enough. We can't tell you much about the future. We need to find that demon in the Book of Shadows." Kira said.
"I doubt he's in there, but it's worth a shot. But please, orb me back to work. I have to finish my column."
"Yeah sure. Thanks for helping us. I'm going to look for the demon." Blair said before he orbed out.
"No problem, but I still don't understand why I needed to see that if you two already knew about him." Phoebe stated.
"We'll tell you sometime." Kira took Phoebe's hand orbed them to the Bay Mirror.
Okay, that's where I think I'll leave it for now. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm thinking of giving Paige a new power and possibly Piper. Tell me what you think and what power I should give them. Reviews are cherished and love. Please review! ARHHHHHHHHRHHHH...don't mind that, I was just getting my frustration out.
