Chapter 3 – Understanding

I was down stairs watching TV while Piper was cleaning. Everything on the TV looked different, I don't know whether it was just me or not. Wyatt started crying so Piper went upstairs to get him. She came back with Wyatt on her hip and sat him in the playpen before going into the kitchen. He was so cute, even on TV he looked cute but even more so in real life. Piper came back with a bottle and gave it to him.

"I've just go to go upstairs for a minute" She went upstairs leaving me with Wyatt. Seeing him there and looking so innocent I thought, how could people hurt a little toddler?

"You wouldn't go evil would you…well not intentionally anyway" I noticed that piper was standing at the bottom of the stairs with a book in her hands oops!

"What do you know about Wyatt going evil?" Piper asked

"Well…"

"And anyway we killed them ages ago, unless it wasn't them?"

"Yeah I know…" I said under my breath "Saw that one"

She looked at me puzzled I think she heard me. She sat down on the couch and I joined her.

"Tell me every thing that you know about Wyatt going evil"

"Ok…I know how he goes evil and by whom but…"

"But…"

"I don't know, I think that might change because I think that I'm in another world or dimension or something" I sighed I might as well tell her "Where I come from you are part of a TV series called Charmed. And in the series Gideon was trying to kill Wyatt."

I stopped. She looked like she was in shock.

"Why…why does he want to kill Wyatt?"

"Because he doesn't want someone with a power that great being alive, he didn't even want Wyatt to be born"

"So…how does Wyatt turn evil?"

"Well Gideon takes him into the underworld and traps him there until he can find a way to kill him. That's why in the future Wyatt is so power hungry because he had to fend of Gideon's attacks."

I looked over at Wyatt, he was standing up in the playpen finishing the rest of his bottle off.

"Leo should be told," I thought about that for a second. That's a good idea and I said so.

"What's a good idea?"

I was shocked, and she had a puzzled expression on her face.

"You just said that, and I quote, Leo should be told and I agreed, right?"

"No I didn't say that" Ah! What the hell was going on? I think I'm going insane. Ok just take deep breaths.

"Oh! Now you hear me! About time too"

I stood up and looked around the room trying to see who was talking to me.

"Who are you? Where are you? What are you?" I felt something hit me in the back, I turned around to see Wyatt clapping his hands and laughing. I was puzzled.

"Hello Kirra, how are you today?" Wyatt said, it sounded like his voice was inside my head. "My name as you might already know is Wyatt"

"What is it?" Piper asked looking extremely worried.

"It's Wyatt he's…talking in my head" I clutched my head with my hands.

"Really, that must mean he's telepathic" Piper was delighted I wasn't though.

"Very good Mum!" Wyatt laughed and I laughed with him nervously.

"What's so funny?" Piper asked

"Wyatt's being a smart arse that's all." I was still a little shaken up.

Leo orbed into the lounge room.

"Hey, how are you Kirra?"

"Fine thanks" I sat back on the couch and rubbed my head "Just a bit of a headache from Wyatt that's all" Leo looked at me puzzled

"What did he do?" I sighed

"He's telepathic, and I guess I'm not used to this" Leo gave this some thought

"If he is telepathic then so are you, because otherwise wouldn't be able to hear him" I was puzzled, it couldn't be true.

"It can't be true, because I have no magic"

"How did you get here then if not by magic?" I turned to Wyatt.

"You be quiet" Puzzled Piper and Leo looked at me

"It was just Wyatt" exasperated I sat down.

"I didn't find anything from the elders about how you got here…" he broke off distracted for a moment. "I have to go now one of my charges is calling. Speaking of charges…where is Chris?"

"He had a couple of things to do he said he'll be back later" Satisfied with that he orbed off. Piper sighed. She went over to the table to pick up a big leather bound book. I didn't really notice the book before but now I recognised it as the book of shadows. She sat down and started looking though the pages. A couple of moments later Chris orbed into the room. Piper looked up and saw him. I had eye contact with him for a split second, I could see that he didn't like me and doesn't trust me.

"Hey Chris" Piper said looking up from the book. "What you doing?"

"Ah… nothing…Mum can I talk with you for a moment" Piper agreed and she followed him into the kitchen. I walked up next to the open door way and stood there trying to listen. I couldn't hear much because they were talking in low voices.

"Some of the demons in the underworld think that Kirra is the prophesied one. They're all really excited about it…" That's about all I heard before I was distracted by the big book of shadows sitting on the coffee table. The triquetra on the front was glowing gold. I ran my fingers over the symbol, it was warm to the touch. Suddenly an image came into my head I saw the guy that attacked Paige and I yesterday. He was about 3 feet taller than me (and I was 5 foot 3"). His black eyes scowling at me but they were also had some excitement in them. His dark brown hair was about as long as his shoulders and really tangled. However he was human in appearance with none of the sharp claws, or disfigured features like demons have.

All of a sudden the book of shadows flipped open and the pages started moving of their own accord and it startled me, I'd only seen it move on TV. The book stopped flipping and rested on a page with the guys face on it that I just saw in my premonition. I had a feeling that he might be a demon but you can never tell sometimes. He is an Etaren apparently they are a middle level demon, with fairly basic powers. I flipped the page and saw a vanquishing spell. I heard Piper and Chris walk back into the room, she gasped and he glared at me. Piper whispered to Chris.

"If she can touch the book does that mean she not evil?" Piper stated. He didn't look convinced. I flipped the page back and pointed to the picture.

"This is the demon that attacked Paige." Piper came over to the book and looked at the picture. "It's an Etaren, though I can't see why they would attack unless…"
