Future vs Past

17

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"
