I gave Peyton a look as Phoebe panicked, trying to stop the bleeding. "Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What happened?"

"Demon" I gasped out.

Phoebe then noticed Peyton, who fought hard to not gape at our mom "Who's this?"

Peyton opened her mouth, eyes widening in panic.

"My innocent" I blurted out, "I was trying to save her"

Peyton gave me a look but nodded shakily. "She did"

Phoebe smiled slightly as a fireball flew past. I felt myself orb, seeing Paige in front of us, lowering us behind a dumpster

"Wow" Peyton gasped

"Thanks" Phoebe said shakily, her hand still putting pressure in my stomach.

Paige looked at me wide eyed, "Bree! What happened?"

I heard commotion, briefly turning my head back to peek around the dumpster to see demons throwing fireballs toward us, scoffing weakly "Demons"

Peyton flickered her wrist, redirecting the fireballs toward them, smiling proudly "Auntie should be proud of that"

I smiled slightly through the pain, knowing what Peyton meant, grateful she didn't say Aunt Prue's name out loud to raise questions from the sisters

"You're a witch?" Paige asked

Peyton nodded, thank god she wasn't stuttering now "Yeah. Par-Bree saved me from a demon" she almost slipped. Thankfully they didn't notice.

We cringed at another fireball hitting the dumpster

Paige stood, "Fireball" the Fire was redirected toward a wall. She knelt again, "Welcome to my world"

My eyes flickered toward Peyton in realization. She was still part of my world. How was she still here?

"Wait, you have a world too?" Phoebe asked surprised

Paige nodded, sighing "Yeah. All magic all the time. Just what I wanted"

"So you figured it out" I sighed. They looked at me curiously. I looked at Peyton who was staring at her hands quietly "I escaped mine too. Don't know how, though"

"You had one?" Phoebe asked, looking at Peyton.

"A world with my family" I answered, wincing in pain, noticing the bleeding still ongoing and I was getting weak. Maybe the adrenaline was keeping me up. "Managed to escape in time I think"

"So this is..." Phoebe realized

"My sister" I sighed, closing my eyes "That demon really knows how to create deadly realities huh? Your world is proof of that, Paige"

"Amd so your sister's still being here" Paige pointed out. I opened my eyes "If that's your desire, maybe that's why she's still here even if she's not real" she winced at my heartbroken expression, "No offense"

I looked at Peyton who gave me a small smile "It's okay to miss us, B" she squeezed my hand. "But you're doing this for a reason remember?"

My eyes filled with tears as Peyton faded away as I willed her to go, my desire of saving the future so my entire family could be saved overruled the wish of seeing my sisters. I looked down to my stomach, figuring out how these whole dreams/desires world, not wanting to die, seeing my injure closing up.

I sighed, looking at their sympathetic expressions, clearing my throat "So, Phoebe. How'd you escape?"

Phoebe frowned, her eyes where Peyton had been, hand in her chest. "That felt real" she murmured, blinking her tears as she looked at me. I looked away, swallowing the lump in my throat "You love them, don't you?"

I didn't answer, not thrusting myself to blurt out I also loved her. And for her and our family I was doing this

"How'd you escape?" I repeated

Phoebe frowned, slowly shaking her head, exchanging a look with Paige "I have no idea, it just sort of happened" She answered with a sigh, "But I have to go back there because Jason was shot and I just left him there"

Paige groaned "Oh, no"

I made a face

"Paige, Bree. I gotta get back" Phoebe repeated sternly

Paige sighed "Yeah, we definitely need to get out of here but I think we're gonna need Piper to do that"

The demons threw more fireballs at the dumpster

~8~

Paige orbed us inside the dumpster, having to pinch our noses to avoid the smell, pushing away bags of rubbish. Paige pulled out a lettuce leaf out of Phoebe's hair while I took out a banana peal out of mine in disgust.

"Okay, I think they're gone" Paige told us after a moment

"How are we gonna find Piper?" Phoebe asked

"I don't know, maybe try feeling her?" Paige suggested "The demon created these worlds by using our emotions, right? I don't know, maybe use him as a conduit to tap into our feelings"

I shook my head, "Won't work. I tried to do that already when I wanted to help my sister. That's how I found out my world and her weren't real"

Phoebe sighed "There goes our chance"

I nodded, my nose tingling. "We need to find a way to-"

I sneezed. 

"Bless you" Phoebe said sweetly 

I smiled "Thanks"

Paige looked between us, "Why don't you two do it together? You're both empaths... well, Phoebe is and for what I've witnessed, you have nice tracking abilities. Don't know how they work yet but you have them" I exchanged a nervous look with Phoebe who looked excited at the prospect. "Besides you're a powerful young witch. Try it"

Phoebe nodded, "Paige's right. This way we'll be able to find Piper faster" She held her hand to me. I stared at it, heart pounding loudly. It had been years, since last time I performed a spell with my mom. It was a few days before Wyatt turned evil. I was about six, more or less. While I was thrilled for the aspect of doing magic with Phoebe, I was nervous. And Phoebe seemed to pick upon that without the need of reading my emotions "You're gonna be okay, Bree. We just gotta concentrate in Piper"

I hesitantly joined hands with Phoebe, taking a deep breath as we both closed our eyes. The dumpster shook as fireballs were thrown at it. But Phoebe and I paid no attention at it, brows furrowed as I caught a glimpse of Piper, sending the path to Phoebe so she could be able to pick upon her emotions

"Are you okay?" Paige asked in concern  

"I feel her" Phoebe spoke, tightening her grip in my hands. I squeezed them in reassurance, "She's really scared and she needs our help"

"These worlds were fuelled by our desires, right?" Paige asked. Phoebe and I opened our eyes to look at her "Well, our desires can find her"

I realized "Like how I brought my sister to your world" 

Paige nodded 

"Okay, so maybe our combined desires can actually bring us to her, right?" Phoebe asked

"Yeah" Paige and I answered

"Uh, try to focus" Phoebe told us. "Focus, focus"

We did as told, focusing on our desire to find Piper.

~8~

We suddenly appeared in a street where an accident just occurred, seeing the vortex demon in front of us. Phoebe tripped him as Paige and I ran to Piper

"Are you okay?" I asked

Piper nodded "Yeah, it's about time you guys showed up"

I smiled

Paige whirled around, holding her hand "Athame!"

Nothing happened

Piper looked apologetic "Yeah, sorry, no magic here"

The demon stood, attacking Phoebe. Phoebe grabbed him, throwing him against the car.

"How's that shoulder feel?" Phoebe asked, kicking him right in his wounded shoulder, knocking him to the ground making him scream in pain. Phoebe noticed gas pouring out of the car. "Come on, we've gotta get out of here. We gotta get out"

Piper picked up Wyatt and the four of us ran off

"There's nowhere to run!" The demon told us "You're in my world!"

The car exploded engulfing the demon in flames that caused the four of us and Wyatt vanish from the desire world.

~8~

We appeared inside a lair, coming out from a scrying pool in smoke. I gasped in pain, holding my chest, noticing Chris in the floor, bleeding out. Being in the same dimension/world as Chris made me pick up my connection to him. I had a connection with everyone in my family because of the love I shared for them, something dad had taught me, the reason why he always seemed to know where we were. And he taught me how to do it. That was the reason why I could find the sisters, they were still my mom and aunts even if they didn't know.

I ran to Chris' side ignoring the sisters' conversation about Jason, worried for Chris, feeling tears prickling the corners of my eyes. I had just lost my baby sister again, I couldn't lose my cousin as well.

"Chris" I whimpered, holding his head in my lap as Paige ran to my side after noticing him

"Hey" Paige placed a hand in my shoulder when she noticed how upset and worried I looked "He's still breathing, you see?"

I nodded but didn't let go of Chris, sniffling

"Leo!" Piper shouted

Leo orbed in. "You're back, where were you?"

"Heal now" Piper told him "Ask later"

Leo did as told, healing Wyatt that made me glare at the little baby. I knew I had no reason to hold a grudge against this Wyatt because he wasn't the one who had destroyed our world, but since we were little, Chris had told me how Leo always gave him priority and not him. It had always been Wyatt this, Wyatt that....My emotions being out of place for what I went through in my desire world made me lose the control I had.

Leo knelt besides me, healing Chris.

Chris groaned, fluttering his eyes open and I took no more moment to hug him close to me, hiding my face in his shoulder, breathing in relief, sniffling

"PB..." I heard Chris mumble, before he orbed us away

~8~

We ended up in a park that in our time was abandoned, the place where we had our best memories. I hadn't let go of Chris since he orbed us. I didn't want to lose him

"Parker, talk to me" Chris told me softly, squeezing my shoulder

I stayed quiet for a few seconds, "I saw her and lost her again"

Chris sighed, "That wasn't Peyton, PB"

I looked up, tears in my eyes, "How do you know it was her?"

Chris looked guilty, "It was my fault Gith found you and took you there too" I closed my eyes, "I'm so sorry"

"Doesn't matter" I replied, looking down at my hands "Made me realize how important it is to save Wyatt so this time, things don't end like it was with us"

"Peyton is with Uncle Coop" Chris said after a few seconds, "In the Cupid Temple. We all agreed it was the safest place for her. I know you miss her and can't see her like with your dad"

"One time at Year" I murmured "Those were the rules when I took her with dad. She was going to get the same treatment of family dad was getting with the condition they'll be together. I don't only miss Pey. Also Prue"

Chris eyes hardened "He knew what he was doing. He was making sure the Power of Three wouldn't be reborn again"

I swallowed the lump in my throat "He did a good job then by sending Prue to madness she won't even recognize me or dad or-"

Chris stopped me, placing his hands in my shoulders, forcing me to look up at him "Hey. We're working on this, aren't we? And we're gonna success that there won't be a need for the Power of Three to be reborn with you three" I nodded slowly, "You gotta give us a little faith, Parker"

A small smile flickered on my face, "I can tell why you would have been a nice whitelighter"

Chris chuckled sadly, "I didn't get my first charge, P2"

I laughed softly at the nickname. Phoebe had been the only one of the sisters to continue the tradition of naming her daughters with the letter P like her mother, grandma did. Prudence Joanne, Parker Breanna and Peyton Louise. And while it was nice to be called PJ, PB and PL, my cousins called us P1, P2 and P3 respectively. It was something I would like to talk to Phoebe about her future as a mother, but that would bring suspicion but I wanted to know everything. What she was thinking before PJ was born, how did she meet my dad as that story was a mystery. According to dad, the better love stories were better to remain a mystery which made me even more curious.

Chris and I stayed together for a few more seconds, embraced tightly until it was time to return home.

Home.

Hearing that word again, feeling that same warm feeling you get when you're safe. It was nice to now we had a place to return to

~8~

I entered my room at the manor, Chris went to Leo as he apparently had a hearing with the Elders, I was nervous for that, they could strip him from his powers if they knew what he had ever done since we got here.

Paige knocked on my door, "Hey, you okay?"

I looked up, quietly "Yeah, I think so"

Paige walked in, sitting next to me in the bed "It must be difficult. Have sisters and not be able to be with them" I didn't say anything, staring at her "Tell me about her. Your sister"

"Louise" I said after a few seconds. Paige began to smile "She's uh, she's stubborn. She didn't like when people told her what to do. She didn't like the things I and dad did to protect her" I laughed softly, a teary sound that made me miss her more "Seeing her today made me realize why I'm doing this with Chris. She couldn't be here. There's just only one way to return to the past and it isn't easy to get it. Her presence it uh-"

"Clouded your judgment" Paige finished knowingly. I nodded bitting my lip "It's okay to feel like that. You have months without seeing her. In a different world you're used to. I believe it's normal to miss your family"

"More than anything" I admitted, "But being here, it also gave me something I lost"

Paige looked curious "What is it?"

"Hope" I answered but what I wanted to say badly was 'mom'. "You three bring me and Chris hope. Hope we didn't have before. Hope that with you three we will success in saving our world. Saving your world from becoming ours"

Paige passed an arm around my shoulders, squeezing them reassuringly "And we won't fail you... or we'll try not to" she joked making me laugh, touching my necklace "That's pretty. Where you get it?"

I looked at her knowingly. While I conjured this necklace to be my Cupid ring, the necklace was both. It was difficult to do that, turn two objects into one but with my conjuring ability I was able to. The necklace was an amulet that kept my Cupid side in touch with my human side to be tethered to it so my Cupid powers wouldn't get control over my humanity. And Paige had given it to me as I had been the one of the three of us to have trouble on keeping my Cupid powers in control. Pure was in touch with both, she had had very good control with her powers before Wyatt took her and Peyton didn't even use her Cupid powers, used more to the Wiccan ones. Paige noticed my lack of control on them and when she became headmistress at the Magic School, she found an amulet that could keep in control in the room lost artifacts. But I couldn't tell her all that

"My aunt gave it to me" I answered, smiling slightly "She was a powerful witch. She liked teaching, and uh, where she worked, there was this place that had ancient objects. She found this amulet, it helps you control your powers. I didn't have a nice control over there growing up"

"Control is overrated" Paige waved her hand. I laughed "Your aunt sounds cool"

I held back my giggles, amused "You have no idea. It's like I'm talking to her when i talk to you"

Paige looked surprised "Well, nice to know I remind you of your aunt" you have nooo idea, Paige "It's nice to see you smiling. Your smile seems familiar, like I have seen it before"

I shrugged sheepishly, a lot of people before had told me that my smile was like Phoebe's when she was younger, "Beats me. I'm not in your head to know"

Paige laughed, "Yeah, you're not"

"Thank you" I told her

Paige smiled, "No problem, kiddo"

I hugged Paige impulsively, surprising her "Never change, Paige Halliwell"

Paige made a confused noise but nodded "I'll never"

My shoulders slumped in relief, the more we stayed here, the more I feared our presence were to change something and I didn't want that, I wanted our future to be better, not worse.
