After seeing my past life and my future self, I have a dark taint in my soul.
Katherine Bower (the past me) was evil. She was willing to destroy her cousins all in
the name of power and love for a warlock. Her plans failed when her cousins cursed and
killed her.
I know Katherine wasn't an evil person, not to begin with anyway. And there was
some good qualities in her that I liked. Sometimes I would get flashes of her life.
Katherine loved her fire power. At a young age she would use her pyro power on the
furniture. Luckily she lived in the manor with her cousins so Susan (past Prue) used her
icy breath to freeze the fire. Or even Samantha (past Piper) would freeze the fire right
before Katherine could light the couch.
All the cousins were good friends when they were children. Not like how I saw
them when I went into the past. Then when she was eighteen, she met Anton. The warlock
who would destroy her life. But Kat was in love. He taught her things about her magic
that she never knew. By this time the manor was the place to be during the Roaring
Twenties. The people who came over to the house knew the cousins were witches and bought
their spells. Susan was really into photography and took pictures of people who wanted
to pay for them. Samantha started to date Bryce (past Leo) and brought him over to the
manor.
Anton began to warp Kat's mind about her cousins around this time and she drew
closer to the dark side. It was after the wedding of Sam and Chris (past Dan) that Kat
openly turned against Susan and Sam. Anton knew they would try to kill Kat and forged
a necklace for her that absorbs powers and renders attacks useless against the bearer.
The rest of this story I'm sure you know.
Katherine was misled but I formed out good. I became one of the Charmed Ones
with the power of premonition. My pyrokinesis was banished from me from the Powers
That Be since I had used it for evil. Now the future me I don't have much to say that
wasn't already said before. But I'll try. Don't mind me if I speak in third person about
her. It's hard enough to talk about her without thinking that it's me doing it.
Phoebe loved one man so much. They met at a restaurant when he bumped into her. He offered
to buy her a drink and introduced himself as Dalton Morland. Phoebe was shy around him
at first but grew to like him. He took her on dates and showed up at the manor all the
time bringing gifts. Like turned into love for them. She even worked up the nerve to
tell him that she was a witch. He didn't mind. Dalton said, "Witch, vampire,
ghost, human, it doesn't matter. I fell in love with you and I want to love all of you.
Witch side included."
Dalton was a sportscaster and usually reported on baseball. Phoebe would go with
him as he did his reviews on several players. Well at one game, he gave a very bad review
of Cal Greene. It was so bad that his coach suspended Greene until he cleaned up his act.
Greene hated Dalton and vowed revenge.
He did get revenge. He killed her beloved in cold-blooded murder. When justice
was to be done, Greene was let off on a technicality. That made Phoebe furiously mad.
And the rest I'm sure you know.
With my past and future selves turning evil and dying for it, I'm so scared that
it will happen to me. What if I get caught in their mistakes? They did it all for the men
they loved. Now every move I make, I watch myself. I may seem perky and happy but I'm
always wondering, 'When will I turn evil?' After all, evil becomes me.
