A couple of weeks passed, and Jordann sat on her bed, just thinking, thinking how hard everything must be for Chris. She felt as if things were being made just as hard for her and Jenni. She fingered the necklace she was wearing. She had had it ever since she was a little girl, from a friend, that she had quite liked at the time. But that was all in the past. Now they had a new destiny, though they still had to figure it out. She thought of when she wrote stories about Callie, and wondered if she was actually Chris's daughter. Jordann felt kinda homesick.
Jordann was so deep in thought that she didn't realise Chris had sat beside her. He saw the necklace and realised what was wrong.
'Hey Jo, you ok? Piper has lunch ready if you're hungry.' She smiled and looked at him. He saw she was starting to cry. 'Shhh, it's ok' He said, reaching his hand out and wiping her tears way with his thumb. 'Come on, tell me, what's eating you?'
'I just… miss home. Mom, dad, even my annoying little brother! They are really annoying you know' She saw the look on Chris's face and remembered. 'Though you'd be a cool brother. You know, you have been kinda like a big brother to me.' She hugged him. Then thought about how weird it was, and let go. 'I still can't get used to it! I hugged Christopher Perry Halliwell!'
Chris was so used to being called Chris Perry, that it surprised him she used his full name.
'Shhh! I don't want Piper to hear!' Jordann shook her head.
'You mean your mother Chris! She's your mother! And if you don't do something soon, you're gonna end up not existing.' Tears started to fill her eyes again. 'And I don't think I could stand that. I wouldn't let that happen to my sort of big brother' Chris laughed, though stopped when he saw her serious face.
'Come on, little sis! Let's find out what Jen is up to' He gave her a piggy back and it put the smile back on her face as he ran down the stairs. Piper saw them and smiled, she hadn't seen Chris so happy in a while. Not since Bianca died.
'Hello! If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were brother and sister! You're both neurotic enough.' Jordann giggled.
'Well, so are you, that's where Chris gets it from, I mean, he certainly doesn't get it from his dad. Chris is your son.' She smiled, pleased with herself, and Phoebe clapped her hands together.
'Oh well done!' Chris dropped Jordann to the ground and Phoebe ran forward to hug her. 'Thanks so much! Now it wasn't me who gave away the secret!' Jordann rolled her eyes. She knew how bad Phoebe was at secrets.
Piper stood in shock, and Jenni walked through. She saw the look on Piper's face and put two and two together.
' grr… don't you care about the future!?' She yelled at Jordann, who hid behind Chris, she hated when Jenni got like this. Behind them, the grandfather clock blew up. 'Piper?' She looked over at the eldest Charmed One, who shook her head.
'That was you sweetie, oh boy, I need to sit down.' Piper went through to the sitting room and collapsed back onto the chair.
Jenni took Jordann back into the hallway. Jordann rolled her eyes, annoyed. She knew what was coming next.
'You changed history! You can't do that! Who knows what future consequences there could be!' Jordann scoffed and shook her head.
'You are overreacting!' Jenni was about to answer, but Jordann didn't give her the time to. 'You blew something up, that counts as overreacting!' She walked up to her room, leaving Jenni to think about what she had done. She heard Piper say a line that she knew well;
'Because, because, because I can't!' Jenni rolled her eyes. Some things never change. She ran up the stairs to apologize to her friend.

Jordann sat in her room, thinking. Elders always knew more than they let on, maybe she could convince someone to tell her about why they were here. If anyone would tell her, it would be Leo.
'Leo!' She called. Blue and white orbed appeared, revealing the elder.
'Yes?' He sounded rather impatient. Jordann rolled her eyes and asked her question.
Look, you Elders always know more than you let on. So, tell me, what is our destiny? Mine and Jenni's that is?' Leo was about to answer when she added 'And none of the cryptic crap please' The Elder sighed. The honest truth was, he wanted to tell her the whole truth, but the other Elders had said firmly "no" to that. But he supposed… this was special.
'Jordann, I wish I could tell you the whole truth, but they' He nodded up to the sky 'They wont let me.' Jordann sighed and shook her head. ' But I can tell you, you are in a lot of danger. From great forces of evil.' She shook her head again.
'Great, I bet Gideon wants to kill us as well as Wyatt.' She mumbled, so that Leo could not hear her.
'Leo, thanks for that, I feel so much less in the dark' She said sarcastically. Leo asked her if she wanted to meditate. 'Shove your meditating and cryptic crap up your…' She trailed off and Jenni walked in as Leo orbed out.
'Who were you talking to?' She asked.
'The cryptic Elder Leo…' she threw her hands in the air, causing the bookshelf to lose a few of it's classic selection. 'Always straight to the point… Not! I hate Elders!' Jenni patted her friend on the shoulder.
'Hey, we'll figure this out, help Chris, maybe even save him, but maybe not…' She stopped when Jordann began to grin. 'What?'
'It's been staring us right in the face. Ha! Greater good my ass!' Jenni caught on to what Jordann was saying. Gideon.
--
'We must stop them! Sigmund, go to the library, I need a book on vision inducing.' Gideon ordered his "right-hand man". Sigmund bowed and nodded, scurrying to the library.
'I need for That Jordann girl to see something that will scare her to death' His lips curved to a twisted smile, and he leant back in his chair, waiting for Sigmund to return.
The little man appeared in the entrance with a small, A5 sized book. It had an old brown cover on it, and blood red lettering. It read: Visions You'll Want To Forget, But Never Can. Gideon took the book from Sigmund, and carefully opened it, careful not to rip any of the pages.
'Sir?' Sigmund asked nervously. He scratched the back of the neck, unsure if he should ask his question. What is so bad about those girls anyway?' Gideon rolled his eyes and shook his head at his minion.
'How many times have I told you…' His smiled became more twisted, and the madness in his eyes apparent. 'It's for the Greater Good'
Gideon found the page he was looking for and read out the spell.
'Let this girl from a world of others,
See the fight of two brothers,
While there she cannot spy,
Therefore, the girl must die,
By the one that some call Lord,
She shall die by Wyatt's sword.'

Jenni sat with Jordann, trying to calm her down. She knew how hard this was, it was hard for her too, but she could handle these things. Sometimes Jordann got annoyed and sometimes overexcited.
Jordann started to feel a little weak. She wobbled slightly and fell onto her bed. Jenni screamed.
'Leo! Chris! Everyone! Help!' There was only one set of orbs, and it was Chris. Paige then orbed in with piper and Phoebe a second later.
'What's wrong Jen… Oh My God!' Chris exclaimed. He ran over to Jordann and checked her pulse. 'She's alive, but hardly breathing… I have no idea what's wrong with her. Why didn't Leo come when you called?' He asked her.
'He isn't there for you in the future, so why should he be there for us now!' Jenni screamed at him. Chris was a little taken aback, and Paige was confused. She was about to ask what she was talking about when Phoebe shook her head.
'Not now Paige'
Chris lifted Jordann up and put her comfortably in the bed. He looked at her sadly, and kissed her on the forehead, hoping she would stir. He stroked her hair and stood back, letting Jenni sit next to her. He watched as the girl started crying. Piper looked at her son.
'What do we do Chris?' He sighed and shook his head, he honestly had no clue, but he wasn't going to give up.
'We wait, and see what happens. Hopefully she'll be alright, but, I really don't know' He looked sadly down at the girl's now pale face. He prayed thagt she would make it through.
