The Power of Four?

[staceface510]

This is my first fanfic and I hope you like it!

Ever wonder what happened to the future? Did Chris really set it right or did her fail? I decided I would answer that question. Be warned: This might be confusing because I will switch back and forth from the present to the future but I will warn you when I switch.

“Phoebe? Can you baby-sit the boys for me while I’m at the club?” Piper asked her sister as she put on a light jacket in the entry way.
“Can’t Paige do it?” Phoebe asked wanting to go into the office to do her article for once.
“She’s at Magic School. The band blew a fuse out at the club and now they need me for some reason,” Piper explained tiredly. Taking care of two babies and running a club was getting to her.
“Fine...but you owe me big,” Phoebe answered with a sigh.
“Thanks, I just fed Chris and put him down for nap. Wyatt will need a nap soon too,” Piper instructed as she went out the front door. Phoebe then walked up to the nursery where she was greeted by Wyatt.
“Story!” Wyatt said in a baby voice holding up his favorite book.
“Ok,” Phoebe answered picking up Wyatt and walking over to the rocking chair. “But we must be very, very quiet!” Phoebe told Wyatt seeing as Chris was napping nearby.
“’K,” Wyatt said smiling. Phoebe smiled back and started reading the story. She was about half way done with it when Wyatt fell asleep. Phoebe carefully picked him up and put him in his own crib. She then started to put the book away when Chris started fussing. Oh no…don’t wake up your brother Phoebe thought as she rushed over to comfort Chris. As soon as she picked him up she got a flash:

Phoebe saw herself up in the attic in the afternoon. A familiar portal opens up and out steps grown up Chris. The two of them talk quickly. Phoebe shakes her head in refusal and then Chris grabs her and pulls her through the portal.

Phoebe got out of her premonition and looked at Chris. What could he want from me? Phoebe wondered and she walked and rocked with baby Chris. Soon he fell back asleep. Then Phoebe grabbed a baby monitor and went down to the living room to see if anything was on TV. But as soon as she started down the stairs she heard a loud thud from the attic. “The boys,” She muttered as she ran back upstairs to the attic.
Phoebe opened the attic door to find a demon trying to get to the book. “Hey!!” Phoebe yelled at it as she charged in and attacked the demon with a kick to its chest. The demon went crashing into the wall and then sank to the ground. Phoebe then grabbed a random bottle of potion hoping it would vanquish him. She threw it at the demon and it was immediately was vanquished in a burst of flames.
Phoebe then went straight to the book to see what demon it was. She opened it up and started looking through it. Phoebe searched for awhile before looking up. She felt like something was going to happen, something major. Phoebe then heard Chris crying on the baby monitor. “I’m coming,” Phoebe said picking up the monitor and started heading downstairs.
Then a portal opened up. “Oh no…” Phoebe said with her eyes wide. She then saw Chris. Grown up Chris not cute and cuddly, though sometimes smelly, baby Chris. “Aunt Phoebe,” Chris said after looking around the attic and then continued, “You need to come with me.”
“Why?” Phoebe asked fighting back tears that were trying to come to the surface.
“I need you to help us change the future,” Chris answered impatiently while he glanced at the portal.
“Is Wyatt still evil?” Phoebe asked worried. She thought Chris had changed that.
“Yes. Wait, how do you know that?” Chris asked confused. He thought he would be the first one coming back. He came back to tell one of her aunts or his mother to come with him.
“You…I mean I had a premonition of it,” Phoebe lied. She figured she wouldn’t tell him anything yet.
“Whatever, come on. We have to go before the portal closes,” Chris said looking at the portal again.
Phoebe shook her head and said, “No, I can’t leave Wyatt and little you alone.” The portal then started closing slowly.
“Come on, Mom will be home soon anyway. And Leo would sense them,” Chris said grabbing Phoebe’s elbow and dragging her into the portal just as it closed.

The Future

“Chris! Let go of me...I’m...not...going to the future,” Phoebe said looking around in amazement. It was the same old attic but outside was different.
“Wow! It’s so pretty,” Phoebe said amazed at how green her neighbor’s yards were and how blue the sky was. There was no way Wyatt was evil in this world.
“Look to the east now,” Chris instructed.
“Ok,” Phoebe said looking that way. Her eyes got huge. It was like some movie. The skies were gray and it was lightning ever few seconds. It looked like a movie.
“That’s where Wyatt is,” Chris explained. Phoebe shook her head slowly in disbelief. Phoebe opened her mouth to asked a question but then the attic door opened.
“Chris! There you are. Aunt Piper is wondering if you are staying for dinner. Who’s that?” A teenage girl that looked like Phoebe asked. “She looks like Mom. Only a lot younger,” The girl added.
“That’s because it is Aunt Phoebe. Only 20 years younger,” Chris explained.
The girl looked and Chris for a moment and the scolded, “Chris!! Aunt Piper is going to kill you! Bring you back to life and then kill you again! You don’t know how dangerous time traveling is!” She then put a hand on her hip. She then got that this strange woman that looked like her mother was her mother.
“Mel, I had it under control,” Chris said. “I’m going downstairs,” he added ended the discussion.
“Hello! Chris, what about me? Why did you bring me here?” Phoebe asked confused. He had to have brought her here for a reason and Phoebe wanted to know now.
“Oh, sorry. I brought you here because I think the Power of Four could overpower Wyatt,” Chris explained like it was so simple.
“Overpower, as in kill?” Phoebe asked. She wouldn’t or couldn’t kill her own nephew.
“If it comes to that,” Chris answered easily.
“Chris! Mom wouldn’t ever agree to that,” Melinda said finally coming out of the shock of seeing her mom 20 years younger.
“She’s right! I won’t,” Phoebe answered. “Neither one of me will,” Phoebe added quickly.
“Chris!! Melinda!! Time for dinner!” A voice yelled from downstairs.
“Come on, we can talk about this over dinner,” Chris said walking out of the attic. Melinda stood there and then followed.
“Christopher Perry Halliwell! Get your butt back up here and explain!” Phoebe said angry. But she was too late because he was already downstairs.

Sorry about the wait and the shortness but I've been busy lately. Enjoy

The Present

Piper walked up into the attic confused. Phoebe wasn’t at home and she wasn’t answering her cell phone. This wasn’t like Phoebe. She wouldn’t leave her nephews alone. Piper sighed as she saw the attic was also empty.
“Leo!” Piper cried out. Maybe he could sense her. A few moments later a swirl of blue orbs appears in front of Piper.
“What?” Leo asked. Piper seemed worried which was causing Leo to worry.
“Can you sense Phoebe? I can’t find her anywhere and she’s not answering her cell phone,” Piper explained. Leo then closed his eyes to concentrate.
“No. I can’t sense her,” Leo said confused and then he started thinking. Piper would know if Phoebe was dead before Leo most likely so Phoebe was alive. “Could she of been kidnapped by a demon and taken to the underworld?” Leo asked Piper.
“I don’t know,” Piper said walking over to the book. “But the book is opened to the Jeric. We vanquished him though,” Piper said getting more confused. She then heard Chris crying through the baby monitor Phoebe left in the attic.
“Phoebe must have been up here then,” Leo said grabbing the baby monitor. “I’ll go asked Paige if she has seen Phoebe while you try to not worry,” Leo said going over to Piper and giving her a hug.
“Just find her,” Piper answered before taking the baby monitor and going downstairs to see what was wrong with Chris. Leo then frowned and orbed over to magic school.
_______________________________________________________________________

“What are doing here?” Paige asked Leo after she gave some students something to look up.
“Have you seen Phoebe?” Leo asked getting to the point.
“No. Why?” Paige asked wondering why Leo would think Phoebe would be at Magic School.
“Piper can’t get a hold of her and I can’t sense her anywhere,” Leo said with a sigh.
“Could she have gone down to the underworld?” Paige asked.
“I don’t know. The book was open to Jeric but you already vanquished him,” Leo said almost ready to give up.
Paige paused to think. “What was she last doing?” Paige asked curious.
“Babysitting,” Leo answered. Paige then knew that Phoebe wouldn’t go underground leaving Wyatt and Chris alone.
“Why don’t you go down there and try to sense her,” Paige suggested to Leo hoping she was thinking wrong and that Phoebe did go down to the underworld.
“Ok,” Leo said before robbing off. Paige sighed and went back to helping her students but she kept having the same nagging thought. Where is Phoebe?

The Future

Phoebe gave up trying to get Chris back up to the attic and was silently cursing the Halliwell stubborn streak in him. She started slowly walking downstairs and she looked at the bedrooms. Piper’s was still the same but Paige’s had been transformed into a totally different room. It looked like a teenage boy room. This had to have been Wyatt’s or Chris’s room because it looked like it hadn’t been touched for a year or so.
Phoebe continued looking in the rooms. She found hers and saw that it was still hers which surprised her. How was she still living here when she had a daughter? Phoebe decided to look inside and saw pictures of a happy family. It consisted of Phoebe, a man, and a sweet little girl. Phoebe smiled at it. But the next family picture didn’t have the man in it. It was just Phoebe and Melinda.
Phoebe frowned at that. Did she get another divorce or did he die? Phoebe decided to move on after looking at a few more pictures. She found that the nursery had been transformed into a teenage girl’s room. It was most likely Melinda’s Phoebe figured. Then a voice frightened her.
“There you are,” Chris said walking into the room. “Mom told me to find you before you wandered off and got killed,” He added smirking. Chris then led her downstairs to the dining room. “Do you want something to eat?” Chris asked.
“Yes, please,” Phoebe said feeling uncomfortable since all eyes were on her. Chris walked out of the room leaving Phoebe with her family but they were all strangers to her it felt like. Chris came back in a few seconds with a plate full of food and set it at an open chair and then he started upstairs.
“Chris,” Piper warned narrowing her eyes, “You better not be going upstairs to bring my past self to the future.” Phoebe couldn’t help but smirk at that comment. Piper must have not changed too much.
“No. I’m going to get Aunt Paige,” Chris said before walking out. Phoebe then rolled her eyes. Chris was going to be handful she could tell.
“So, Phoebe…did Chris say why he brought you here?” Piper asked looking at present Phoebe.
Phoebe swallowed and replied, “He said something about you trying to stopping Wyatt and he thought the power of four would be more powerful.” This caused another silence.
“Melinda and Parker, why don’t you go upstairs?” Future Phoebe suggested her daughter and another girl who looked about 13.
“Fine. I can tell when we aren’t wanted. Come on, Parker. We can go watch TV in my room,” Melinda said getting up and walking out of the room followed by the small girl. Phoebe then noticed a guy sitting next to Paige and Leo.
“Umm…sorry to be rude but whom is that?” Phoebe asked meaning the man.
Paige smiled and said,” This is my husband Max. He’s a witch and we got married…17 years ago.” Max looked at Phoebe and smiled. Phoebe politely smiled back.
“So Chris said we were going after Wyatt?” Piper asked getting back to business.
“Yes, but he said you needed me so you would have the power of four,” Phoebe answered and was having some crazy thoughts go through her head. Maybe Chris came back in time and got her without telling Piper or even discussing it with her. Who knows what he did or could do by taking Phoebe from her time?
“Funny…he never told us that,” Future Phoebe said finally breaking her silence. Present day Phoebe groaned and said,”That’s just like Chris…act before thinking it through.”<br>Paige and Piper gave Phoebe a strange look. “How do you know that’s like Chris? Isn’t he less than 1 in your time?” Piper asked confused.
“Oh, I thought you would remember that he came back before. But that’s another story,” Phoebe said noticing that Future Phoebe hadn’t looked at her strangely. Future Phoebe looked away and focused on Piper. It was like she was trying to pry into Piper’s mind.
“The less we know the better probably. And the less you know is better. Don’t tell our past selves what happens no matter what,” Piper instructed present Phoebe.
“Yes,” Paige agreed and added,” I wouldn’t have found Max if I was only looking for Max’s.” Phoebe nodded in agreement. She wouldn’t tell her sisters about this. Then there was a silence like everyone at the table was thinking.
“Why does Chris think that I could hurt or even kill my own nephew?” Phoebe asked curious.
“I think he just grabbed the first one of us he saw. But you are no use if you won’t injury Wyatt. I think I might be able to now. Just all the pain he has caused everyone. Including us,” Future Phoebe answered maturely.
“But he is your own flesh and blood!” Phoebe argued shocked.
“He may be my own son, but that doesn’t excuse what he has done to his family and the rest of the world. We have to stop him,” Piper said sadly but powerfully. Phoebe couldn’t believe what she was hearing. How could her and her sister future selves want to kill Wyatt? Then they heard a loud thump followed by a scream upstairs.

[staceface510]

Here's a little longer post. Please tell me how I'm doing.

The Present

Back in present time Piper was freaking out on the inside. Up in the attic you could practically see the marks on the floor from where she was pacing back and forth. She could barely focus on anything. Where was her sister! She had to find Phoebe before she exploded from panicking and worrying. She then heard a familiar sound. It was somebody orbbing in.
“Leo!” Piper said rushing towards the sound.
“It’s Paige,” Paige said before sighing. Piper often did that when she was worrying and since Piper could even plainly see it was Paige it meant Piper was panicking big time.
“Paige, have you seen her?” Piper asked worried.
“No. I sent Leo to the underworld to see if she’s there. While he’s doing that I thought we could trying a witch to witch spell,” Paige answered staying calm for her sister. She knew one of them had to stay reasonable so Paige decided to step up.
“I already tried that!” Piper cried out.
“Let’s try it again. Two of us are more powerful than one,” Paige reasoned with her hysterical sister. “Ready?” Paige asked feeling like the older sister here.
“Yes,” Piper answered before starting to recite the spell from memory.

Guiding spirits I'll ask your charity.
Lend Guiding spirits I'll ask your charity.
Lend me your focus and clarity,
Lead me to the one I cannot find,
Restore that and my peace of mind. us and clarity,
Lead me to the one I cannot find,
Restore that and my peace of mind

Paige waited with Piper as they saw nothing appear in front of them. Paige muttered a few cuss words under her breath while thinking of another spell that might be useful. Piper continued looking in front of her. Where was her other sister? Why wasn’t anything working? As these thoughts raced through her mind one sound broke it. Chris was crying with Wyatt soon joining on the baby monitor.
“I’ll get them,” Piper said going downstairs almost thankful for the interruption. Paige sighed and went over to the book and opened it up.

The Future

As all four women raced upstairs, the battle continued.
“Get away from her,” Chris growled as he threw the person across the room. The charmed ones plus another Phoebe burst into the room just in time to see the person get up. It was Wyatt.
“Ahh...Chris. Why did you have to make Mom aware that I was here?” Wyatt fake whined. As he taunted Chris, future Phoebe noticed her daughter lying on the floor not moving. She rushed over to help her.
“Maybe it’s because they can stop you. And they will,” Chris threatened with his eyes narrowing. He loved his brother once, but attacking Melinda was going too far.
“The Power of Three is no match for me. Isn’t it mom?” Wyatt said finally looking over at the doorway and noticing Phoebe. His eyes widen with disbelief and a smirk slowly creep of his face.
“Wyatt. Leave now,” Piper warned with her voice strong. But on the inside she felt like crying.
“Oh come on Mom. And then you can’t introduce me into this new Phoebe. What did you do? Clone her? Or did you bring her from the past?” Wyatt asked with an evil look on his face.
“Why should you care?” Chris spat at his brother before anybody else could answer. If Wyatt found out about Phoebe being from the past terrible things could happen.
“Oh but I do care little brother. More than you know,” Wyatt said smirking evilly again. He was getting some good ideas about what to do with this extra Phoebe. He then gestured for present day Phoebe to come towards him.
“No,” Phoebe said stubbornly but she then realized she could resist him. He was controlling her body with magic! He was much more powerful than Phoebe expected.
“Wyatt!” Phoebe exclaimed getting scared of this Wyatt. How could he be some cruel…so heartless.
“NO!” Melinda cried out after coming to a few seconds early, and tackling Wyatt breaking his concentration. Phoebe was free for now but Melinda was now Wyatt’s target again that night.
“Melinda, Melinda, Melinda. Do you really want to take me on?” Wyatt said before flinging her across the room. She hit the wall with a sickening thud and fell to the ground. Present Phoebe’s eyes widened with shock.
“I’ll be back,” Wyatt promised with an evil look and then dark orbed out.
“Melinda!” Future Phoebe said running to her daughter and cradling her head on her lap.
“Leo!!” Piper yelled. Her niece wasn’t going to last much longer if her husband didn’t hurry up. Leo soon appeared and saw Melinda instantly with future Phoebe silently crying.
“It’ll be ok,” Leo reassured future Phoebe as he healed her daughter. All through this present Phoebe watched in disbelief. How could Wyatt do this to Melinda? She was his family! Phoebe continued to think while Leo healed Melinda and the family crowded around him. But then Phoebe felt something strange. It felt like she was being summoned.
“Piper? Paige?” Phoebe wondered in disbelief.
“What?” Paige asked curiously.
“I feel like…you are summoning me,” Phoebe explained thinking quickly. “Oh my gosh, I feel my Piper and Paige summoning me,” Phoebe said before rushing out of the door with Chris on her heels.
“You can feel them summoning you!?!” Chris asked not believing her. How could she? She was over 20 years in the future!
“Yes I can now shush! I need to concentrate,” Phoebe said closing her eyes. She felt Paige was still in the attic. Piper wasn’t with Paige. Paige. Paige. It’s me…Phoebe. I don’t know if you’ll hear this…but it’s worth a shoot. Paige, I’m in the future. Don’t worry, please, just don't worry about me! Just protect Wyatt and Chris Phoebe warned before feeling the connection fading quickly.
“I hope she got that,” Phoebe said rubbing her head and sighing.
“Got what?” Chris asked confused.
“I sent her a message. Like…a telepathic one. I just hope Paige got it,” Phoebe explained worried. Piper was most likely freaking out and Paige had to be trying to comfort her while panicking herself. Phoebe let out a sigh and decided to get back to her own problems in this time.
