2035...Second Timeline

"Mommy, what's wrong?" A small voice asked. Melinda Halliwell looked down to see her six year old son looking up at her. She quickly looked away. The boy looked so much like his father, she could barely stand it. She raised her hand to wipe the tears, she hadn't been aware of shedding, away. Then she heard the baby start fussing and got up to get her. Primrose was only about a year old and was the product of one of Benjy's enraged attacks. She didn't notice her son, Paskal, frown with sadness as she ignored him.

She had fallen in love with Benjy when she had been just seventeen. He had been one of her oldest brother, Wyatt's, friends and had been twenty-one. Her parents had loved him. She had been so happy when after four years of being together she found out she was pregnant. She had been twenty-one and Bejy had been twenty-five. She'd been afriad of his reaction, but he'd been estatic. Wyatt and their parents, aunts, and cousins had been excited as well. Of course by then Wyatt and his wife had just had thier first child, a son named Christopher Wyatt Halliwell. The only one who seemed unhappy, or maybe concered would be a better word, was her other older brother, Chris. She'd called him one day, he having willingly moved/kicked out of the manor by his parents when he'd been fifteen and they had found out his girlfriend, Bianca, who was a Phoenix and six years older than Chris was pregnant. None of the family except her and Wyatt even knew where he was. Chris had been worried like any older brother who found out his baby sister was pregnant would be, but he'd seemed happy once he saw who excited and happy she was.

She should have listened to Chris' instincts, he was always right. He'd had a bad feeling about Benjy when she first introduced them. She'd put it off as him being the big brother and being overprotective. Maybe if she had listened she'd be happy now.

When her mother and aunts had been killed about a year after Paskal's birth and Wyatt had revealed himself as evil she'd been shocked. When her long-time boyfriend and father of her son had revealed himself to be an evil demon she'd been horrified. Benjy had kidnapped her and Paskal and taken them to Wyatt's headquarters. She'd tried to escape and contact Chris or any of her family who hadn't been killed or turned with Wyatt, but this had only enraged Benjy to the point of violence and abuse.

Benjy hadn't been the only who had turned out to really be an evil demon. Her cousin Patricia's husband, Roland Warwick, had also been revealed, but unlike her Patricia had no problem with this and willingly followed Roland with their daughter Paget to the side of evil. To prove her loyalty to Wyatt Patricia had killed her own baby sister, Penelope, three years after the initial takeover and taken her powers for herself while Roland killed Penelope's boyfriend Vance and gave the boy's power to Wyatt. Penelope had been only twenty and Vance had been twenty-three. Patricia's older sister Prudence had been devastated to lose both her sisters. She very well might have taken her own life if not for the daughter, Phebe after her grandmother, she had given birth to the very year Penelope had been killed.

Patricia hadn't been the only one to turn though. Another of her cousins, Kat, and her husband, Isaac, had turned only a year after Wyatt's takeover bringing their year-old Son, Pyry, with them. Kat's twin sister, Tamora, had been angry and disappointed and might have come after her sister herself if it hadn't been for her own one-year old daughter, Priti.
She knew her cousins who were still good were with Chris and his family somewhere safe from Wyatt and the demons. She knew they were fighting, still hopeful. She also knew they thought her to be dead so there would be no chance of a rescue mission for her.

2040... Second Timeline...

"MOMMY!" A loud voice complained. Thirty-three year old Kat looked over at the children playing. She sighed upon spoting the problem.

"Priska, darling, please release your brother." Kat requested as she looked at her oldest, her son Pyry, who's feet had been encased in ice by his baby sister, Priska's, molecular inhibition power. The five-year old looked very disappointed before she looked at her brother's frozen feet. A moment later ten year-old Pyry fell forward flat on his face after being released. Prosper burst into giggles. Kat looked over at the boy. He was the same age as Priska and had been her brother's son. Of course Henry had been killed before he even knew he was going to be a father and Kristi, Prosper's mother, had been held captive till the boy was born and then she too had been killed. The newborn had been given to Kat to raise. At first she had wanted nothing to do with what she saw as a weak disgrace. Henry had been an adopted mortal and Kristi a weak witch with only the power of nature enhancement which she passed onto her son, but the boy had also developed the power of chaneling the elements, changing his aunt's oppionion of him.

"It looks like she's getting a good handle on her powers." Kat's cousin, Patricia, remarked sitting next to her holding three year-old Patience, Patricia's youngest daughter. Her other two were playing a game of tag. The oldest, eleven year-old Paget, was flying around the room keeping just out of her younger seven year-old sister, Pandora's, reach.

"Yes. All of the children seem to have good control of their powers very early." Kat agreed. Just then an explosion rocked the entire mansion and the children fell to the ground, Kat and Patricia barley managing to stay seated and in Patricia's case keep a hold of her daughter so she didn't go tumbling to the ground. Not a second later both Isaac, Kat's husband, and Roland, Patricia's husband, ran in.

"The Resistance is attacking. Get the children out of here." Roland ordered before both males ran out of the room. Kat and Patricia glanced at each other before gathering their children and Kat orbed them all to a warded apartment across town. Zula, Wyatt's wife, was already there with tweleve year-old Christopher, nine year-old Henri, five year-old, Zuza, and three year-old Sari. Then in a swirl of blue and white orbs, Melinda, Wyatt's little sister, appeared with her two children, eleven year-old Paskal and six year-old Primrose. The thirty-three year-old looked worried. Kat sneered. Probably worried for those resistance traitors. Wyatt and Melinda's own brother, Chris, was the leader.
