Thanks for all the feedback; this is my first fan fic, so I am still learning as I go. I'm sure something like this story has been done before, but this is my spin on things.

Summery: A story about letting go and moving on.

Chapter 2

Melinda knew it was bad; there was no getting around that, it was bad. She was in the past with her aunts, her mother, and her brother all looking at her like she was a demon that needed to be vanquished. 'I am in so much trouble' she thought 'I am in so much trouble, this is what I get for gripping about not getting to travel back in time like Chris and Wy'

Melinda hung her head and made a step toward her mother "Look here's the deal, I can't …" she started before she felt her body being lifted up.

"Get away from them!"

She braced for the impact of the wall rushing up to meet her. "Oh! What the heck, that hurt!" She pulled herself off the floor and whirled around to face her brother.

"Did you just TK me. Into a wall! I can not believe you just TKed me Chris!" Melinda said outraged.

"Piper, freeze her" said Paige.

Piper's hand flew up and she flicked but nothing happened.

"Why isn't she freezing" Phoebe asked

"Oh I don't know, because I'm a good witch! For the love of all that is sane and holy!" Melinda ranted.

"We don't know that. Who is she Chris, another girlfriend from the future" Piper spat

"Gross, No! Are you insane?" Melinda turned to look at her brother in time to see a look of hurt flicker across his face. 'Bianca' she thought.

"She obviously knows you and that your half witch, something we just found out about by the way" Paige stated.

Chris rolled his eyes "I said I was sorry"

"And I said don't come back to my house till you stop with the lies and here we are again with another future girl who knows you" said Piper.

"But you don't know me, do you" Melinda asked quietly while thinking 'Mom threw him out of the house?'

"No, I don't know you, are you from the future? Cause if you are, you have to keep your mouth shut about it. You could mess with it and change it. And if you are from the future, who are you and why are you here" Chris questioned.

"Of course you would want her to keep her mouth shut" Piper said.

Melinda couldn't believe the tone her mother was directing at Chris. I mean for goodness sakes this was her peanut she was talking to. Melinda knew her mother didn't know that yet apparently, but it made her cringe. And poor Chris, she knew it happened, but seeing it, hearing it, and feeling a little taste of it herself. How did he do it? She was about to cry just from the way her mother was looking at her and that was nothing compared to how she was treating Chris.

"Look yes I am from the future, and I know Chris's name, but I don't really know him".

It wasn't a lie, she didn't know this Chris, she thought she did, but she didn't. Chris had never tolled her she didn't exist in his original future. She thought maybe she had died or something, but not that she wasn't ever there. The events that had taken place a year and a half ago come rushing back to her. She looked into Chris's eyes; they were so sad and tired. And even though she had seen parts of that in the Chris in her time, there had still been trust, faith, and laughter mixed in. Even in the hardest of those days, he was still her Chris, the brother she had grown up with. But this Chris had an evil brother, no sister, a mom who died when he was 14, and a dad that wasn't around. And the family standing in front of him didn't see who he was. She wanted to tell him he did it. That the future was wonderful. That it had changed, but she knew she couldn't.

"I need to get back and I need your help" Melinda begged.

"Chris make yourself useful and go check up there about this" Paige said pointing up toward elderland.

"They didn't know about him, how are they going no about her?" Phoebe asked

"Well go anyway and ask Leo to help you" Piper said adding "And I'm working with you, but you are still not allowed around Wyatt, got it"

"I'm trying to save Wyatt from…" Chris started

"From turning evil" Melinda finished before she could stop herself.

"Oh so you know about this too, maybe you're the one whose going after him" Piper accused.

"I so am not" Melinda defended herself while thinking 'This is how Chris felt when they accused him of this. Ugh, remember she doesn't know, she's being a good mom protecting Wyatt.'

"Ok I'm going to go check and see if they know anything." Chris said " I don't think she's bad, but maybe they can help us get her home."

"Thank you Chris" her big brother always took care of her.

Chris nodded and orbed out.

"Wyatt really is evil?" Piper asked looking slightly hopeful that she would say no.

Before Melinda could answer, blue and white lights engulfed the space in front of her. When all the colors faded a figure dropped hard to the ground at her feet. The woman slowly pulled herself up and faced Melinda. Shocked Melinda looked into the face of a very pissed off lady. She waved her hands in front of her throat to try and get her not to say anything, but she was mad and there was no shutting her up.

"Melinda Victoria Halliwell! What did you do?"

Melinda slapped her hand to her forehead and pointed to the others standing behind by the door.

The woman turned around to face her younger self and her sister's younger selves.

"Oh crap" she said.

"Piper" asked Paige.

"Halliwell" Said Phoebe

"Melinda Victoria" Piper said "Oh my god, that's me and you, that's what I was going to name Wyatt if he was a girl, are you my daughter?"

" No, I'm not, really, I don't look a thing like you" Melinda said feebly

"Yes, actually you do" Past Piper stated

"Cat's outta the bag, Way to go Mom." Melinda said to her mother 'How are we gonna fix this'

"You time traveled, are you insane young lady. We are going to have to cast a spell to make them forget or memory dust. What year is this?" Future Piper asked

Blue and white orbs filled the room. " They don't know anything about her, Leo is on his…" Chris stopped, his eyes on the new visitor in the attic.

Future Piper's breath caught in her throat. "Chris" she breathed. There was nothing that could've prepared her for this.

Melinda watched as her brother's face went completely white. His eyes rolled back in his head. And she watched as her brother's body went limp and hit the ground.
