Chapter One: Out of time
The door of the attic snapped open and a stranger stepped out, but she seemed to know where she was stepping.
"Chris, where are you?"
At the shout and elderly woman appeared at the bottom of the stairs. She watched the stranger on the stairs, raise her hands and crinkled her nose in worry.
"Grams!", but she didn't call out fast enough and felt herself lifted through the air.
"Penny, I'm not a demon, please put me down this is undignified."
Penny Halliwell glared at the other woman. "Then what are you? I don't generally let strangers wander through my home!"
"I'm a witch, I should be married to your grandson Chris and it should still be Piper's house. Where...or when am I? And can we please have this conversation with me on the ground?"
Penny lowered her hands letting the stranger down with a thump, so she landed on the corner step. However she found she still couldn't move, not even to rub the bruise forming on her ass.
"Penny?"
She watched the older witch, who didn't reply, go up the stairs past her to the attic. Penny returned with an armload of crystals.
"You're going to cage me?"
"Look's like it, doesn't it?"
"Fine just tell me what's going on when am I where's Piper" she had a thought "LEO!!! LEO!!! IT'S KARA. LEO!!!"
"Who on Earth is Leo?" Penny asked, watching satisfied as white light shot from the square of crystals forming a magickal cage. The newly identified woman found herself able to move.
"Leo is the family whitelighter and my father in-law. Where's Piper. I messed up the spell and now I'm not at home. I'm just sort of at home. What date is it?"
"July 1st 2008"
"And you're alive?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Because in my time, reality, whatever, you died in 1998, the girls should have got their powers, become the Charmed Ones! Where are they now?"
"Piper lives at the apartment uptown, she's married to, Jeremy, a nice man and Pru..."
"Wait...wait, Piper met Jeremy the day you died, in the cafe at the hospital."
"Yes, well she did meet him in the hospital cafe in 1998, but, obviously, what with me standing here, I didn't die, I had a serious heart attack but I didn't die."
"The others?"
"Pru still lives alone, near Bucklands auction house where she works. She was devastated after Andy died. Nobody knows why to this day. And Phoebe, is still in New York doing goodness knows what."
"And Paige?" Kara watched a look of puzzlement pass over the older woman's face, but it passed so quickly and was smoothed so well that unless you knew Phoebe well enough to recognise it you wouldn't have noticed. The fast cover up was Phoebe's specialty.
"Who?"
"The daughter Patti gave up. Her name is Paige- Matthews, she should have met the others in 2001."
"How do you..."
"I know because I'm your grand-daughter in-law, or something like that. Now please I need to speak to Leo so I can figure out if I've done something hugely wrong."
Her husbands great-grandmother left, still not dropping the crystal cage, leaving Kara to sit and wait.
After a while Penny returned. Kara looked at her questioningly. "I've spoken with my whitelighter, according to him Leo Whyatt hasn't been a whitelighter for some years now. He had his wings clipped after the Elders decided he was too much of an exposure risk."
