Author's notes: Hi everyone, hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Here's my update for this week. Although I have to say the lack of review wasn't inspiring at all, I know people are reading the chapters I put –blame the readers traffic thinggy– so please please review because it really encourages me to write more often, and if you have any suggestions or anything you would like to see happen in the story, please tell me and I'll do my best to include it in the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed or any of its original characters; I do, however, this story line, dialogue and any new characters.
P.S. Words in italics are thoughts, premonitions, flashbacks, telepathic talks or dreams...etc.
Oh and I am also calling Future Paige as Jo because it is easier.
Previously:
F. Prue: You don't need to worry about Jericho. He is one of the good guys, although he doesn't always show it....Wyatt killed his fiancé... But Jericho is a powerful demon, so be careful because Wyatt's shield doesn't work against him.
F. Billie: You can't be so heartless! How about Jo? You loved Jo didn't you?
F. Wyatt (getting extremely mad): DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT HER!!
(She tries to heal Billie but as expected she fails. She breaks down crying for the life of Billie.)
F. Wyatt: I was told the hardest thing in life is to watch someone you love die in front of you and you feel helpless that you can't do anything to save them... But I wouldn't know anything about that, would I?
F. Henry: He said that he didn't need saving. What if he meant that he's not the one that needs saving? (F. Prue and F. Paige started thinking about that)
F. Paige: That's why he let me go... He wants me to save him but he knows I was probably looking in the wrong direction, just like Chris did.
F. Prue: Paige you are getting the chance to save your family from dieing and it isn't personal gain.
F. Paige: Here goes nothing... (F. Paige walks through the portal)
(F. Paige walks out of the portal and the portal closes behind her. Her sisters from the past look at her sadly)
Phoebe: How are you holding up?
F. Paige: Can we not talk about this?
Phoebe: You know it's not good to bottle up feelings, we're here if you want to talk, we're your sisters not strangers.
F. Paige: False! You are the past versions of my sisters let's not forget that!!
Piper: Still...
F. Paige: I know, thanks but i prefer not to talk about your son killing Billie.
Piper: I 'm...
F. Paige: Piper don't, I didn't say it to make you feel guilty it's not your fault. Let's just focus on stopping Wyatt from becoming the evil man you just saw.
Prue: You should put your glamour back on.
(F. Paige nodded and waved her hand in front of her face while reciting a spell.)
"Magic forces, black and white,
cover my features with the finest light,
channel my magic, use my upper leveled powers,
and the necessity that I had for the longest hours,
with this spell I hide what I don't want discovered,
my true features won't be uncovered,
unless you know who I really am,
you shall see me as Josephine Bram."
(Swirls of light surrounded F. Paige, when they were gone F. Paige was still there.)
Phoebe: I don't think it worked.
F. Paige: No it worked alright! (F. Paige looked in the mirror and instead of her own reflection being there, Jo's was)
Piper: So we will still be able to see you?
Jo: Yeah, any one who knows who I am will be able to see the real me instead of the glamour.
Phoebe: That's a nifty spell.
Jo: Yeah, just try not using my real name in front of anyone because they would see who I really am and the spell would kinda be useless.
Paige: How did you come up with that? I mean we are the same person but seriously?
Jo: When there is a need, there is a way.
Piper: I am really sorry about the way we treated you earlier, it's …
Jo (interrupted): Piper don't worry about it. I can say I would've done the same because technically I did (she points at her past self) So it's all in the past.
Prue: I hate to break this but I think I am going to have to leave soon.
Piper (feeling like she was about to lose her sister again): What? Why?
Prue: Piper, I don't belong here.
Piper (denied): You do.
Prue: No I don't, my time on earth ended about 6 years ago. My place is up there.
Jo: Don't be so sure about that!
Paige (to Jo): What do you know?
Jo: Future conseque–
Phoebe: Paige if you know something, spill it!
Jo: Look I really can't say anything, it could change the future and that's a detail I don't want to change. (Jo looked at Prue and winked. Prue smiled partially understanding what Jo meant)
Phoebe: Fine!
Paige: Do you think the elders will be here soon?
Jo: I bet, because you guys used a potion for time travel and didn't use any spells to cloak the magical activity. They probably know we time traveled.
Piper: I guess we are going to be in more trouble.
Jo (sarcastically): You think? (Orbs appears and formed into 2 angry elders)
Odin: What you have done is totally unacceptable and can't go unpunished.
Jo: Do I need to remind you of what happened last time you said that?
Odin: You think you are all powerful and all knowing but you aren't, we are.
Jo: On the contrary, I am from the future and in that particular future you don't exist and I do. So not only that I have powers more powerful but I know more than you do.
Odin (challenging) : Yeah, like what?
Jo: Like the results of the Prophesied Battle. Isn't that the reason you want to take Paige's kid?
Odin (trying to sound not interested): We don't care about the result.
Jo: Yeah you plan on just raising the kid up there to prevent him from even participating in the battle, right?
Odin (surprised that she knew that): Yeah.
Jo: You know that we won't let you do that and you know if you don't do that and the future doesn't change and the world falls to the hands of evil.
Elder (speaking for the first time since they got there): Are you suggesting we reach a compromise?
Jo: That's exactly what I am saying.
Elder: We're listening.
Jo: You give me my chance to change the future, because I am not leaving until I do so. I actually know who and what will make Wyatt evil, so that should make my mission a lot easier. And if Wyatt doesn't grow evil, there won't be a prophesied battle that you need to worry about, so you don't need to take Paige's kid.
(The Elder looked like he was considering it.)
Odin: But there is no guarantee that you will actually succeed in your mission and there is no guarantee that if you actually succeed that Wyatt won't grow up evil.
Jo: You have Kevin, he can always look to check if Wyatt is to grow evil or good. Besides, I am pretty sure that if Wyatt grew up evil someone will travel back in time to stop it from happening.
Elder: You said you knew who turns him evil, who is it?
Jo (reluctantly because it wasn't the complete truth): Mass.
Elder (confused): The demon who is trying to be the source?
Jo: He is more than just a demon who is trying to be the source. He is half demon/ half darklighter.
Odin: There is no such thing as that.
Jo: There is a first time for everything and it's not like evil have any rules to forbid the union between demons and darklighters.
Elder: But what makes him different than any other demon or evil being?
Jo: He is the exact opposite of half witches/ half whitelighters. His goal would be eliminating them.
Elder (concluding): That would make Paige his antithesis.
Jo: Yes, he doesn't get crowned as the source of all Evil unless he manages to kill Paige thus ending the power of three.
(The sisters were shocked to know that but they relaxed knowing that Mass obviously doesn't succeed in killing Paige.)
Odin: How do you know all that?
Jo: Number one, I am from the future; number two, Billie and I have been doing some under cover work in the underworld.
(The sisters noticed how Jo had a little difficulty saying Billie's name.)
Elder: As head of the Elders' high council , I have decided to agree to the compromise you have suggested. However, if you happen to fail in your mission like Chris Halliwell did, we shall take matters in our own hands and do what we intended to do in the first place.
(Jo looked hesitant to accept because she was afraid that she will fail just like Chris did but it was their only option at the moment.)
Jo: Then we have an agreement. (The elder and Jo shook hands)
Elder: We shall leave you in peace then. Paige be careful because your pregnancy is different from any other you have seen or heard of. It's not everyday that a whitelighter gives birth.
Paige: Half.
Elder: True but still, it's a first.
Odin: Treasure the moments you have with each other, because you never know when your time is up.
Elder: Prue I think it would be best if you come up there right away.
Prue: But–
Odin: No buts. I think you know that you broke enough rules for one day. (Odin waved his hand and Prue was force-orbed out)
Piper (sadly and annoyed): You didn't give us a chance to... (The elders orbed out) … say goodbye. (Tears streamed down Piper's and Phoebe's face)
Phoebe: I can't believe they just took her away like that.
Jo: I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Paige: What do you know?
Jo: Me? Nothing. Anyway, we don't have to worry about the elders anymore... for a while.
Piper: Did they really let us off the hook that easily?
Jo: They had no choice; they knew I was right, I am the only chance they have of ensuring Wyatt grows good.
Phoebe: Guess the world depends on you now...
Jo: Jeez... No pressure.
Phoebe: You know what I mean!
(Billie teleported in, F. Paige looked away because immediately she saw the image of F. Billie dead.)
Billie (noting the awkward silence): Am I interrupting something?
Piper: No not at all. Do you want to tell her now that we all know?
Jo: Why not? It won't hurt, it actually might help with any trust issues.
Billie: Hey I trust you!
Jo: I know that but to end any doubts that you might have. I am Paige.
Billie: I thought your name is Jo.
Jo: No I am glamored as Jo but I am Paige (she pointed at Paige) from the future.
Billie: Oh. (As soon as Billie realized who Jo was, Jo's glamor went away and Billie saw future Paige) Oh my! How did you do that?
Jo: Spell.
Billie: Wow, that must be one hell of a spell.
Jo: You can say that.
Billie: Where were you guys? I came here earlier but I couldn't find you.
Piper: The future.
Billie: Ah, find out anything interesting?
Phoebe: We're dead well except for Paige and my son is the source of all Evil. Oh and did I mention we saw you getting killed.
Billie (a little shocked): Jeez.
Jo: Have you ever heard of the term future consequences?
Phoebe: Yeah. Right, sorry!
Billie: Who killed me?
Phoebe: Wyatt. (Jo glared at Phoebe)
Billie: Oh! So that innocent little boy I baby sit will grow up to kill me... maybe Christy was right about Wyatt after all.
Paige: Billie!
Billie: Sorry! I miss the days when thoughts were private.
Jo: Yeah, the good all days. (Everyone laughed)
Piper: So what do we do now?
Jo: I would actually like to relax for the day and then tomorrow I'll start working on a new plan.
Phoebe (offered): Family night?
Piper: Family night it is! Although i wish Prue was still here.
Paige: Billie we don't have to mention that you're family, do we? (Billie smiled)
Billie: I guess you don't.
(They left the attic but then Barbas appeared)
Barbas: They think they have it all figured out, don't they? Well they're in for a big surprise.
T.B.C
Author's notes: Well I know this chapter is slow paced, it's just something I had to put in. When I was looking back at the older chapters I realized I forgot a lot of the details that I had planed the story on; so I shall re-read the story and try to remember the details that I have based the story on.
Please review and if you have any suggestions on how I should improve the story or of anything you want to see happen, please tell me.
