Chapter 1: Losing Wyatt
"Elizabeth hurry up and come down stairs! You need to hurry and eat or you'll be late for school!" Piper calls from the kitchen.
"I'm coming, I'm coming chill out!" I call back down, "And for the fiftieth time it's Liz!"
"Whatever just hurry up!" Piper snapped.
As soon as I walked into the kitchen I could smell Leo's famous pancakes. I loved it when Leo cooked his pancakes in the morning. As I sat down to eat we heard a crash coming from upstairs. We were all pretty freaked.
"What on Earth was that?" Leo asked looking at the ceiling.
"It sounded like it came from Wyatt's room." I pointed out.
We all bolted up the stairs and into Wyatt's room. We looked all around and everything was fine. Or so we thought. However when I went over to the crib to pick him up he wasn't there.
"Guys we have a small problem. Wyatt isn't in his crib and as far as I'm aware he isn't old enough to climb out of it and walk around the house." I said looking back at my sisters and Leo.
"My baby!" Piper screamed.
"Hold on Piper before you flip out let's think of all the possibilities of what could have happened." Leo said calmly.
"Well a demon could have gotten him." Phoebe pointed out.
"Yeah um Phoebe that's not exactly helping," Leo snapped.
"Well um he could have orbed out, I mean he does have powers and I don't really think he is old enough to know how to control them yet." I quickly butted in before they could start arguing.
"She has a good point." Leo pointed out." Okay this is what we are going to do, Eliza…I mean Liz you go ahead and go to school before you end up late again. Piper and Phoebe you stay here and check the Book of Shadows and I will go see what the elders know."
I bolted down stairs and grabbed my book bag out of the kitchen. As I ran out the door and picked up my bike I got an idea, If my sisters could stay home and look for Wyatt so could I. So I grabbed my bike rode down the block and hid in the bushes at the end of the street. I knew Leo would go to work first so I waited to see his car pass me. I had done this a couple of times just to ditch school. After his car passed me I waited a few seconds and then got on my bike and rode home.
When I walked in the door Piper and Phoebe were looking at the Book of Shadows on the couch. I went straight into the kitchen and grabbed some spices and got started on some potions. Piper walked into the kitchen to get some coffee and saw me making a potion.
"What are you doing here, Leo told you to go to school." Piper asked with a very confused look on her face.
"Well I thought I would be more useful here at home, so since you and Phoebe are already looking in the book I decided I would make some potions in case some unwanted guests showed up." I replied smiling and hoping she wouldn't make me go to school.
"Okay well be careful, you can't get hurt right now because we might need the power of three to vanquish this thing." She warned.
"I'll be careful I promise." I said smiling again.
When she left I got started on the potions again. After two potions I got kind of hungry so I went to the fridge and grabbed the chicken sandwich Leo never ate. After I finished the sandwich Leo walked in. That's when I got nervous. Piper was easy because she never really cared whether I went to school or not but Leo needed a bit more convincing.
"What are you doing home? I thought I told you to go to school." Leo questioned with frustration.
"Well I'm not doing any help at school and he's my nephew therefore I should get to help." I stated as I kind of backed away from him before he could yell at me.
"Alright I guess you're right. Normally I would take you to school right now and ground you for a week but right now we could use all the help we can get." Leo calmly stated. "But finish the potions in the attic so we don't get food mixed with potion spices."
I grabbed the potions and the spices and ran up to the attic. I finished another three potions before Phoebe's demon boyfriend showed up with Wyatt. I was a little confused but excited to see Wyatt happy and healthy.
"Cole you found Wyatt!" I yelled out waiting for him to hand me Wyatt.
"Keep your voice down, the others can't know I'm here." Cole warned as he stepped back.
"Cole what's going on you're scaring me." I snapped.
"Look long story short I can't give you this big stinky ball of drool until you and your sisters handover the book and your powers." Cole explained as though he expected us to do it without a fight.
"Do you really think we are going to do this without putting up a fight?" I asked in a sort of snotty way.
"You really don't have a choice because if you don't do it or you show an ounce of fighting us your little bundle of joy gets destroyed." Cole explains as he steps back again and shimmers out.
