"Wait, you mean, she's our daughter up there? Why haven't you healed her yet?" Leo said as he started pacing frantically.

"Look dad, you can't heal here because where we come from dark lighters can put curses on their arrows, meaning you can only heal her if you kill the dark lighter who hit her and yes she is your daughter, as much as she would hate to admit it", Chris said, gradually getting louder out of his frustration, almost immediately after he had finished speaking Paige orbed in.

"What took you so long?" Piper asked, annoyed.

"Well, I was being given another temp job, at a fish and chip shop, what have I missed?" She asked as she sat down, "I'm guessing a lot."

"Yeah, just a bit", Phoebe said putting her fingers near each other to signal a small amount.

"Apparently I have a daughter, can I ask what her name is? And what do you mean she would hate to admit to be our daughter?" Piper asked curiously.

"Her name is Bronte", Said Chris, regretting having already told them so much, "And I can't tell you anything more, future consequences."

Bronte saw the swirl of blue lights and watched her brother come in the room. She smiled as best she could as a tear rolled down her cheek, before she cleared her throat.

"Why did you tell them that I was their daughter, they weren't supposed to know", She said hoarsely.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it just slipped out", He said as he bent over the bed.

"I can't believe Wyatt is still evil, I thought we got him but it must be something else, it must happen while I'm gone, we can't tell the sisters anything else about my future or I'll lose James", Bronte stated and Chris nodded his head.

"I know, it's just that it would be so easy to get rid of those years of hurt and pain", Chris explained as he grabbed her hand, "It's my job to protect you, you're my little sister and I feel like I can't."

"Chris, it's okay really, without going through the childhood I went through I wouldn't be who I am today and we wouldn't have James in our life, I miss him already, why did you have to take me with you, James is stuck with Aunt Paige now until we fix this."

"If I hadn't taken you, you would have died which would be worse for him anyways", Chris said as Bronte began to grow weary and slowly succumb to her subconscious and enter an unconscious state and images of her childhood invaded her mind.

Bronte looked around, nobody was home, she wondered why. Had they all abandoned her? She was only six and she didn't know why they would leave her home by herself, suddenly her brother Chris orbed in and pushed her out of the way just as a dark lighter came into the manor and shot an arrow at her, Chris telekinetically threw the arrow out of the way before the being left and he went to comfort his sister. He explained to her how their aunties were working and their mother was expecting a darklighter attack and so took Wyatt away from the house.

The scene changed to Bronte's tenth birthday. The young girl ran down the stairs to see her family, the sisters were casually talking to each other as Chris poured himself some cereal, Wyatt was off watching TV and her energy dropped when nobody mentioned anything.

"Morning sweetie", Piper said as she walked past and rubbed her daughter's head. Bronte smiled, hiding her tears and ran back up to her room to play with her dolls. Her family had forgotten her tenth birthday, this was the day that she would come into her powers. Unlike her two gifted brothers she was not given her powers at birth, the angel of destiny discussed with her and her parents that she would receive them on her tenth birthday. She didn't know what her powers would be, she knew she would be able to orb considering that the elders made her father a whitelighter again not long before she was conceived. Emotional pain rippled through her body as the tears streamed down her face.

The pain was felt by the leech demons, a new form of demon that only arose within the last few years, the feed off pain. First they search for people who are feeling great emotional or physical pain and take them back to their lair where they will torture them for years and feed off their pain until they die.

The demon appeared in the attic, or her room, there weren't enough rooms for all the children and Bronte, being the youngest had her room in the attic. The demon was wearing a black suit and had spiked hair, in all respects he looked completely normal. The demon took the young girl to his lair and locked her in a magic proof cage.

Chris searched everywhere in the attic and then went to Bianca's apartment. This was the place where she had said the spell leading back to the future. He looked in all the books, on the floor everywhere, hoping that it would still be there even though it was well over a year since she died. He needed to go back to the future to kill the dark lighter and break the curse on the arrow that shot Bronte so he could heal her. He rummaged through the books until a piece of loose paper fell on the ground, the writing had faded but he could still make out the words on the sheet.

Hear my words,

I want to see,

What the future,

Holds for me.

He tucked the piece of paper into his pocket and orbed back to the manor where he found a piece of chalk and began to draw the portal to the future just as his father orbed in.

"Hang on a sec, you're not going anywhere until you explain what's going on, why are you leaving so soon anyway?" Leo asked with his arms folded and a sceptical look on his face.

"Please, it's the only way to save Bronte."
