Well I still have exams but managed to post another chapter – Yay me!! Hope you enjoy this one as well!!
Disclaimer: I still don't own Charmed!!
P.S: Words in italics are thoughts or anything of this kind!!
(Scene: Manor, attic)
Piper (sarcastically): I don't know just saving your 'precious future'!!
Jo (angrily): YOU ARE A FREAKING REASON MY FUTURE IS SCREWED ANYWAY!! I shouldn't have said that!! (She starts crying)
Piper (feeling guilty): What?!
Jo: Wait a minute maybe that was what I came to change, after all it was when it all began!!
Paige: What began?! What needs to be changed?
Jo: This is becoming awfully annoying!!
Phoebe: I second that!! (Piper is looking at the floor thinking)
Jo (feeling guilty): I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way. (Piper looks up at her) I really didn't mean to say that but you were really getting on my nerves!! You're not practically the reason the future is screwed but you're a reason it became screwed!! (Jo is confused) That made no sense, right?!
Piper: Yeah!! So what did I do?
Jo: Nothing!!
Piper (sarcastically): Oh so you're upset because I did nothing?!
Jo: No!! It's not like that!! It's just ……. So complicated!! What the hell should I say?
Phoebe: What's complicated?
Jo: I can't tell you!! Because you won't believe me!!
Paige: Why?!
Jo: Future conseq………
Piper (interrupting): Oh for God's sake spare us the crap of future consequences!!
Jo: I don't want the future changing in ways worse than it is!!
Phoebe: Isn't the future already screwed?
Jo: Yeah, but…
Phoebe (interrupting): Screwed big time?
Jo: More than you can imagine!!
Paige: Then it can't possibly get worse!! Can it?!
Jo: No, it can. If I tell you what happens in the future, it might happen earlier than it happened in the future!!
Phoebe: And that would be a bad thing? The whole thing makes no sense!!
Jo: Yeah!!
Piper: Why?
Jo: Because… (Frustrated) I don't have to explain myself to you… I'm here to help whether you like it or not!!
Piper (challenging): And If I don't like it?!
Jo (angrily): You'll have to f...in' deal with it!!
Piper (sarcastically): Excuse me didn't your parents teach you how to speak to someone older than you?!
Jo (sarcastically): My parents died a long time ago. So I didn't have the honor of learning that! Crap!! She's getting on my last nerve!! But I'm going to change what will happen.
Phoebe: Her parents are dead… OMG Paige!! (She looks at Paige who is shocked)
Piper (feeling really guilty): Oh my God I'm so sorry I didn't… (She looks at Paige who is still shocked)
Jo (interrupting): Never mind –didn't really get to know them-…Anyway I've decided that I'll help you!! (Piper decided not to argue further with Jo, as she was analyzing the two shocking news so far)
Piper: Okay… So what are we going to do?
Jo: Nothing I'll do everything… You just stay here or something!!
Phoebe: Excuse me but we aren't going to do that. He managed to kill you twice before!!
Jo: Well… I didn't know that he was going to attack!! Now I do!! What does he want anyway?
Piper: She's got a point!! (Phoebe and Jo were surprised by Piper's reply)
Jo: What about you Paige? You own the call!! (Paige doesn't reply) What's wrong now?
Jo (worried as she sees Paige's pale face): Paige?! She was fine moments ago!!
Paige: Do whatever you like!! (She then orbs out)
Jo (shocked): What?! What's wrong with her?
Phoebe: I think I would go talk to her!!
Piper: Take me with you!! (She looks at Jo) But where is she?!
Jo (closes her eyes then opens them again): Golden Gate Bridge!! What's wrong with her anyway?
Piper: You honestly don't know?! (Jo thinks for a bit and then shakes her head)
Phoebe: She didn't take notice Piper!
Jo (confused): Notice what?
Piper: Nothing!! So can you orb us there?
Jo: Yeah! (She takes there hands and orb out with them)
(Scene: Top of Golden Gate Bridge, Paige is sitting at the edge. Piper, Phoebe and Jo orb in)
Piper (worried): Paige!! Honey are you okay? (Paige doesn't reply)
Jo: What's wrong?
Piper: How come she doesn't know Phoebe?
Phoebe: No idea!! Paige!
Paige: What?!
Jo: What's wrong with you? (Paige turns around and looks at a very confused Jo)
Paige: I need to ask you something!!
Jo: What?
Paige: Your Parents… you said they are dead!! (Jo nods) How?
Jo: That's kind of personal!!
Piper: Besides Paige you shouldn't…
Paige (interrupting angrily): No I need to know!!
Jo (confused): Why?
Paige (sarcastically): Well that's kind of personal as well!!
Jo (defeated): Believe it or not I'm not quite sure about my father. Yeah what the heck!! (Sadly) But my mother… a demon killed her.
Paige (sarcastically): Demon huh?! Nothing is better!!
Piper: Demon?! There is no way I let that happen!!
Paige: Well apparently it did happen!! (Paige looks away at the ocean below)
Jo (feeling awkward): I'm … going to go… (Phoebe nods)… deal with Jericho. (She starts to orb out)
Phoebe (realizing what Jo said): No Jo!! (The orbs disappear) Don't! Damn!!
Piper: Paige can you come here away from the edge, please you might slip or something!!
Paige (sarcastically): Well apparently I'm going to die on the hands of the demon, so you don't have to worry about the bridge!! Demon… Demon…Demon!!
Phoebe (Angrily): Well the future can change to the worse – sth that Jo is worried about- you can die sooner than you think now that you know!!
Piper: Phoebe?!
Paige: No she's right!! But apparently nothing is going to happen until I give birth!!
Piper: Hmm… You can't be so sure… That's why they call it Future Consequences!!
Phoebe: But on the bright side we can still change it!! Now that we know we aren't going to let it happen!!
Paige: Do you think that is what bothers me? That I'll die!! (Piper and Phoebe look at each other and then at Paige confused)
Paige: Sure it bothers me but I can die at any moment either by a demon, a bus, a gun, a disease, we are all going to die one day.
Phoebe: Then what bothers you the most? I mean you were shocked!! (Piper laughs)
Paige: I was not!!(Phoebe laughs) Maybe just a little!! She said she didn't get to know her parents, she doesn't even know how Henry dies!! I'm just sad that she doesn't grow up knowing us! both Henry and I didn't know our parents either.
Phoebe: Yeah you're right!!
Piper: Something doesn't add up though!!
Paige: What?
Piper: She doesn't know how her father died!! How is that possible? I mean if we took care of her, we would've told her something!!
Paige: I don't know!! When you come to think about it, I don't know how Sam died either.
Phoebe (trying to lighten up the mood): Well I guess it runs in the family!! (Piper laughs)
Paige (trying to hide a smile): That is absolutely not funny!!
Piper: It is!! (Paige goes to her sisters)
Paige: Thank you guys!! (They all hug)
Phoebe: Well that's what sisters are for!!
Paige (sarcastically): Suffocating me?! (They break the hug and laugh.)
(Scene: Underworld, cave. Jo and Jericho are fighting. Jericho throws an energy ball at her and she sends it back in orbs. He ducks and it hits the wall)
Jericho: How did you know I was coming after you anyway?
Jo (Sarcastically): I got some visitors from the future!!
Jericho: Oh the future!! I guess their names start with Piper and Phoebe!!
Jo: And Paige!!
Jericho: Yeah of course, how could I forget?
Jo: I don't know maybe you're just stupid!! (She throws a potion at him, he throws an energy ball at the potion and a force from the explosion knocks them both down on the floor)
Jericho: Damn!! (He stands up and coughs. He notices an unconscious Jo on the floor) Great just the time to make my move. (He extends his hands and bright yellow light emits from Jo's body to his hand. He seemed pleased until the light faded away)
Jericho: What it can't be? (Jo starts to wake up. She realizes sth and she stands up immediately)
Jericho (Angrily): How did you do it?
Jo: DO what? (Jericho goes over to her and tightens his fist against her neck; strangling her)
Jericho: Where are the rest of your powers? (He throws her to the other side of the cave, she hits the wall and injures her arm)
Jo (coughs and stands up kneeling on the wall for support): Powers?! My powers… is that what you want?!
Jericho: Yes!! Now where are they?
Jo: If you wanted my powers, all you had to do is ask!!
Jericho: What?
Jo: I would've saved you the effort of repeating the day.
Jericho: Really!! How?!
Jo: I don't have them!!
Jericho: You're lying!! Where are they?!
Jo: You didn't think I'd come here with my powers and tick the balance towards evil more!!
Jericho (Angrily): What? They're in the future?! (Jo nods) How? With who?
Jo (sarcastically): Go figure!!
Jericho: Then who do the powers I have belong to?! Don't tell me the good witch killed an innocent?!
Jo: Of course not!! You now have the powers of PAIGE from THIS time line!!
Jericho: What?! That's impossible!!
Jo: Believe it or not, that is your choice!! But you know what this means!! (Jericho nods defeated)
Jericho: But it is a good thing for me!! Believe it or not!!
Jo: How so?
Jericho: All in good time!! Guess the balance just ticked towards me again!!
Jo: What? (Jericho disappears leaving a very confused Jo) What have I done?
End of Chapter.
Hope you liked the chapter!!
Please review and I wanna know your opinion about the way I'm trying to reveal Jo and the future, is it too fast, too slow, too confusing?! And please tell me what you think of the storyline so far!!
