I beamed just outside the manor, looking up in confusion. It was currently midnight

"Chris?" I called out, frowning.

Chris orbed to my side staring up at the manor and then at me, "Gremlins?"

My frown deepened, looking up at him "How did you know?"

"They seem to like paper" Chris told me, pointing at the paper in my hand. I hummed, "Where were you if you got called by gremlins?"

I didn't answer, "Why would they call us this way? Shouldn't they you know... call your name?"

Chris looked at me disapprovingly, sighing "Maybe. Let's make them think we were together" he said grabbing the paper from my hand and ripped it in pieces, throwing it. He touched my shoulder, orbing us inside, appearing between the Halliwell's and three blonde women

"You wouldn't happen to know any gremlins, would you?" Chris asked tilting his head, blinking when he noticed the blondes.

I took a step backward, clenching my fists cautiously.

"Uh, it's about time" One of the blondes sighed in relief.

Blonde number 2, looked at us "Chris, Bree, thank God. Look at them" She pointed at the Charmed Ones, "They're impostors. They stole-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down" Chris and I raised our hands, wide eyed.

Who does she think she is to talk to us as if we know her?

"Who are you?" Chris narrowed his eyes

Piper frowned "They're witches. They're the ones that killed that guy across the street"

Chris and I frowned at the blondes. I grabbed my cousin's arm, protectively. My eyes flickered between the blondes nervously and yet, ready to put up a shield between the five of us against the blondes.

Blonde number 3 shook her head, looking at us slightly wide eyed "No, guys, she's lying. Remember this morning when you said something was gonna happen to the book?" She aimed at Chris who frowned "Well, this is it. It's happening now" 

"Ugh, enough of this" Phoebe whined, looking at her sister "Piper, blast them"

Chris raised a hand, pointing at blonde 3 "How do you know what I said to Piper?"

"Because she is Piper" Blonde 1 groaned pointing at blonde 3, then pointed at herself and then pointed at blonde 2 "And I'm Paige and this is Phoebe. And they cast an identity spell to make the entire world think they're us"

My eyebrows raised, skeptically.

"That's ridiculous" Paige huffed "Everyone knows the Charmed Ones are blonde"

I raised my eyebrows, skeptically

Piper looked sarcastic at blonde 3 "If you're Piper, then show me your powers" she gestured at her. "Blast me"

Chris and I looked expectant. All this was making me confused.

Who were the real charmed ones then?

Blonde 3 narrowed her eyes "I can't, you stole them"

"Okay, so we stole your identities and your powers" Piper said feigning awe, "Wow, we must be good. Definitely worth more than a paragraph"

I frowned at her. What the hell is she talking about?

Paige grinned "Oh, yeah"

Piper glared at the blondes "It's time to take care of you witches and your delusions"

I slowly looked up at Chris, still confused. He seemed to have the same dilemma.

Why couldn't recognize our own mothers?

Right. They weren't exactly them. A younger version but not the ones we knew. For us, they were only a shell of our mothers. A pang of sadness shouted through me making me look down 

Blonde 1 gasped with an idea, "Wait!" I looked up "Wait. I can prove that we're telling the truth. I can still orb, I'm half Whitelighter"

"Okay" I hesitated, gesturing at her "Go for it"

The blonde seemed to try to orb but nothing worked.

Chris and I exchanged a look, knowing they weren't our family.

Paige whispered something I couldn't quit make

Chris looked at Piper, "Go ahead, Piper, blast away"

Piper smirked, using her powers but missed, getting the window instead

My eyes widened. Piper never misses.

"She missed, guys" Blonde 2 looked at us "When have you ever known Piper to miss?"

Piper grumbled "Even I'm entitled to a bad day"

Paige looked at her sister, pursing her lips "Come on, try again"

Piper tried again but again missed, hitting a pot plant.

Now we knew who was the real trio sisters.

Blonde 1 looked up at us "Uh, Chris. Bree, a little help here"

I grabbed Chris' hand, stopping him and meeting his eyes. I had a plan.

Chris knew how my Cupid mind worked as soon as he saw me flicker my eyes at Phoebe.

Perks of sensing sexual attraction huh?

"Oh, you know what?" Blonde 3 said "She's getting angry. And our powers don't work so good when we're angry"

Well, she knew more about witches. I'll give her a point

"We've got them now" Phoebe clapped.

Blonde 3 tilted her head "Yeah, you've got us now so why don't you blow us up?

Blonde 2 seemed slightly cautious "Piper, death bad, life good"

"Don't worry, this bimbo couldn't hit the broadside of a beauty parlour" Blonde 1 waved a hand, amused "Check out that dye job"

Yup, the blondes were definitely the sisters

The 'Charmed ones' gasped

'Piper' glared at the blondes, blowing up the door "How dare you!

"Run!" Blonde 1 exclaimed, ushering the other blondes upstairs

The Charmed Ones followed.

As soon as the six were out of sight, I turned to face Chris wickedly, a flash of dark pink in my eyes

"What have you planned?" Chris asked me with a grin of his own.

I pulled out my Cupid's ring from under my shirt, "Using it one time shouldn't hurt. And it's for the greater good"

Chris looked worried but nodded.

The future depended on the sisters and their capability of protecting Wyatt and the innocents. And they couldn't do it without their powers or their identity.

~8~

The Halliwell impostors had the real Charmed Ones frozen upstairs at the attic.

Chris orbed inside just before they could actually kill them. "You did it" He grinned at impostor Phoebe, walking toward her and kissing her passionately "Nice work, babe"

I gagged from just outside the attic door.

Oh my God. I know I planned this but, seriously.... I could never get out of my head Chris kissing my mom (even if she wasn't my mom, in my eyes she still looked like Phoebe)

I slid on my Cupid's ring, using it to slow the time and make myself invisible to their eyes. "Please work" I murmured, focusing my sight on Impostor Paige and concentrating on hate.

This wasn't usually what a Cupid did and it could cause me serious health issues for using the ring for the contrary of it's creation but it should count my intentions were good, right?

I could sense the ring glowing a green color instead of its usual pink and I breathed in shakily, "Mitzy and Mabel get everything and they leave you with nothing. They seem to want you to be powerless, they think of you like nothing" I gasped slightly, knowing this was affecting me because a Cupid should never implant hate in a person "They see you as someone weak, show them" I stood taller, clutching my hands together, as I finished implanting the thought in Margo's head. (Good, now I know their names. Better than blonde 1, or 2 and 3)

Margo-Paige- influenced by my powers, snapped at Mitzy and Mabel -Phoebe and Piper- "This is not fair! First, I get ripped off in the power department, then you bag the bartender, and the boyfriend lays diamonds on you. That Whitelighter belongs to me"

I didn't actually need influencing Mitzy as she had Phoebe's empathetic power. I just had to influence Margo's and Mabel's and she'd sense them

"Ow, my head" Mitzy cried out, touching her head "You know, you really need to learn to control your emotions. I can't help it if Chris chose me"

I influenced a little bit Margo's jealousy (something that actually wasn't that hard) "Did you sleep with him?"

"No" Mitzy replied immediately

Chris hid his smirk, answering at the same time "Yes"

I turned to Mabel, time slowing down. Two blondes down, one to go. I forced the ring to work, glowing green. It made me even weaker, making me gasp and lean against the couch near Chris and Mitzy. "They defy you. They don't care for your authority. If they could, they could have taken Piper's powers and leave you without any. They fear you and that's why they act against you. They want you down. Show them who really has the power"

Time began running normally as I almost fell, catching myself before I could, weakly looking up

"You did what?" Mabel glared at Mitzy "I gave you a direct order, that Whitelighter was off limits"

I knew it was enough. It was enough of my part. I gave them the enough incentive to provoke a fight and destroy their bond. Their sister bond they had stolen.

"You know what?" Mitzy snapped "I am sick and tired of your orders. We both are"

"Stay out of my feelings" Margo crossed her arms

Mabel raised a brow "Oh, are those your feelings?"

"The hell yes those are my feelings" Margo snapped, glaring at Mabel "You boss us around like we're idiots"

Mabel stared at them, raising her eyebrows

Mitzy blinked, like as if she was getting a vibe from her with her empathy "What?" She looked offended, glancing at Margo "She thinks we are idiots"

"I didn't say that" Mabel said quickly

Chris seemed amused, but still glanced around with worried eyes. He was worried about me and the consequences of misusing my powers "Yeah, but I bet she felt it" He spoke up making their heads turn to him. He smiled at Mitzy "My little empath feels everything"

Mitzy looked smug, "He's right. You despise us" A glow caught my attention and I looked up slightly, seeing the triquetra on the front of the book of shadows glowing. It was working. "In fact, until I became an empath I never realised how much you truly hate us"

"You know what?" Chris told Mitzy, grabbing her arm "Come on, baby, lets go, who needs them?"

"Oh, you're not going anywhere" Mabel shook her head "We've got to stick together or our plan falls apart"

My smirk grew seeing their argument now becoming physical, the three of them starting to push themselves.

My ring stopped glowing, as I knew my assistance wasn't needed and the glamour making me visible to their eyes at the same time the identity spell around them fell and their bond broke, letting me and Chris see their real form

The sisters in their real form could finally move as I looked up at them, "You should be able to handle these women now"

While Phoebe, Piper and Paige took care of them, I looked up at Chris weakly, making my way to him but my knees gave up. He caught me in time, "Bree" he said worriedly, keeping me standing

"Tired" I mumbled, leaning my head on his chest. I felt completely exhausted and sick. And I knew the consequences of using my Cupid powers for evil (cause hate in a Cupid was actually evil) were going to be bad.

Once the blondes were down, Paige turned to us "I take it this was all your doing" she glanced at me worriedly, "Hey, what happened?"

"It was actually Bree's idea" Chris spoke up, letting me lean against him. I hid my Cupid's ring between my hands, not letting them see it. I wasn't going to risk them seeing it and recognizing it "But, we both knew"

Piper looked at me, "How did you know they weren't us?"

I smiled knowingly, using Chris to keep myself standing not letting them notice how weak I felt, Chris could only sense it as I had all my weight on him, "In all my life I have never seen you take the bait the way that witch took it from you"

Phoebe frowned "In all your life?" She repeated. "You've only been here with us for two months"

Chris and I immediately realized my slip up, exchanging a look, "Let's just reverse the magic" Chris suggested

I sat down while Chris opened the book and gave it to them.

Piper, Phoebe and Paige started reciting the spell that returned their powers, "Powers of the witches rise, course unseen across the skies, come to us who call you near, come to us and settle here."

White magical lights left the blonde sisters and sank into Piper, Phoebe and Paige. Their powers were now back.

I smiled closing my eyes. Please don't let them ask questions.

~8~

I was in my room, laying in the bed, staring at the ceiling and my Cupid's ring that seemed lifeless.

Chris orbed at my side, also laying in the bed. "How are you feeling?" He asked quietly.

"Dead" I said just as quiet. Chris turned to face me worriedly. I slowly turned my head to him "Bad idea to use it to influence hate. You can just call me the demon of hate now" i said, a few tears sliding down my cheeks. I felt terrible. Even if it was with good intentions, I still misused my powers. I could be stripped of my Cupid powers, a part of me "My dad would be so disappointed"

Chris shook his head, wrapping his arms around me "No. Don't say that, Parker" he murmured, "He'll never be disappointed. This is the aftermath of using the ring like this. The self loathe. Just don't let it consume you. Your Cupid teacher told you this. Don't let the guilt consume you or what you fear the most would come true. You know you did it with good intentions. For good. Let that consume you and you'll feel better" he said softly

I tried to do as Chris said, closing my eyes. It was easier say than done but, slowly I could feel my energy fill me. I still felt weak but thinking on the reason I did it, the love I had for my family. The love I helped tonight to reunite and seeing my dad again that's what helped me get better.

This is what I was warned of when the ring was used for different purposes than for what it was created. And I was never going to do it again.

N/A:

Hope you like the twist with Bree in this chapter.

I know and you all know only a demon of Hate can use the ring and influence negative thoughts, but Bree is half a witch.... And a witch can go evil. Maybe, if she goes evil so does her Cupid side and that's why she can manipulate the ring to tap into the hate part, right?

What do you think of chapter? Any review, wether good or bad is received. This actually helps me.
