I don't own Charmed Constance does, unfortunately :(

And i would like to thank my beta Twin Who Likes To Travel for correcting my mistakes and fixing errors in this story :)

So without anything else to say, here is the next chapter, memories are in italics.

Enjoy!

Previously - The light, easy and happy atmosphere from the resturant had now been replaced with one full of pain, suffering and sorrow.

Parker and Chris were gone.

Two days, that's all it had been. Just two days since the Halliwell and Brody families' lives had been turned upside down and inside out. The manor was in silence. None of them had really left the house in those two days, except for Brooke; who had holed herself up in her and Parker's room at the Halliwell/Jenkins manor. The two sets of twins had holed themselves up with Melinda in her room while Wyatt had closed himself off in his room; letting only Samantha in. KJ tried to help as much as he could; along with Marissa. They went around to the younger kids, holding them close as they cried while trying to keep their tears at bay. Paige and Kyle had been doing their best trying to hold everyone together, but they could only do so much. Piper and Leo had sat in the kitchen; only ever moving to check on their children. Even that was done half heartedly. Phoebe and Billie had sat in the conservatory; with Billie holding her wife tightly in her arms. No one needed to be an empath to see how much pain they were in. No one wanted to stay in the living room for too long. It was like the room was now haunted. The scent of death still lingered in there. The Brody family had been doing its best; flitting around the house to their cousins, aunts, uncles, sisters, nieces, nephews, brother-in-laws, and sister-in-laws, but they couldn't keep the grief away from everyone. Not when they themselves were suffering from it.

They hadn't even seen Bianca since the night it had happened. She had come to the manor after her photography course had ended; only to see the manor surrounded by cop cars and ambulances. She, after some difficulty, made her way into the manor to see the families in the living room with Daryl. Some of them were standing, some were sitting, and some were just staring blankly out of the window. KJ remembered the first thing she had asked.

"Hey, what's going on? Where are Chris and Parker?" Bianca asked, but all she got were pain filled looks from the Brody children while tears started to stream down the Halliwell childrens' faces. Paige and Kyle were looking at her in sadness while the other adults just held their respective partners in their arms. Their silence was deafening. Brooke continued to stare blankly out of the window. Daryl was watching them all closely. "What's with all the police?" Bianca asked but when no one answered her, she got a little frustrated. "Is someone going to tell me what the hell is going on? Where are Parker and Chris!" Bianca exclaimed before realization dawned in her eyes and she saw how terrible they all looked. The phoenix took a quick scan of the room and saw that it was a mess, tables were smashed, scorch marks everywhere, and Parker and Chris were missing. "Where is Parker? Where is Chris?" Bianca asked, and her tone made everyone know she knew where her boyfriend was, but she needed to hear it. "Bianca, when we......when we got back, they were...they were on the ground......they....they tried to heal them but.......but we....we were too....too late," Kyle managed to say when he saw no one else was going to speak. He watched as her face fell and her eyes became misty. "You mean to tell me he's.....," Bianca said but trailed off. No, Chris couldn't be. She refused to believe he was.

KJ looked Bianca straight in the eye and said what he knew she didn't want to hear, what everyone hadn't said since, what the families had refused to say since his dad had phoned the cops. "Bianca........he's dead.....they both are," Kyle heard the sobs of Melinda as he said those words. He saw out of the corner of his eye, Wyatt place his head in his hands and start to rock himself back and forth. He saw Brooke flinch before she wrapped her arms around her waist and hug herself tightly, Bianca looked at him, and he could see she wasn't there. She was somewhere else, somewhere far away. The only life he saw from her was the tears that had started to slowly slide down her cheeks. Without another word, Bianca turned around and made her way out of the living room and the manor. No one stopped her.

KJ sighed as he was brought out of his flashback by Melinda suddenly standing from her place on the bed and walking out of her bedroom in silence. Phoenix and Patty looked at each other before standing from their position on the floor and, without a word to anyone, followed their cousin out the door. The Brody children and Marissa looked at each other puzzled before following their cousins; only to see they were standing outside Wyatt's bedroom with Melinda looking at the closed door intensely. Before KJ or the twins could say anything, the door burst open to reveal a very tired and red eyed Wyatt Halliwell. The brother and sister did nothing but stare at each other, neither one blinking or moving. If the cousins didn't know any better, they would have said they were communicating to each other in their minds. But the only people in the second generation with the power of telepathy were the Halliwell/Jenkins children. "You know we can't, Mel," Wyatt said quietly; shocking us all out of their thoughts. "Why not? It wasn't his time or Parker's. Why can't we?" Mel all but demanded of her big brother.

The Brody children watched from the sidelines, with Samantha coming out of the room and joining them as Phoenix and Patty stepped up to Melinda's sides. Their eyes were burning with determination. "I would do anything to get my big sister back, and I know you would do anything to get your little brother back. So why can't we? Give me one very good reason as to why we can't?" Phoenix asked; her voice daring Wyatt to say something, which he didn't. The twice-blessed opened and closed his mouth several times before sighing in defeat. "Of course I would do anything in my power to, but we can't mess with death. Don't you understand? We can't use our magic for personal gain. We can't use it to bring them back," Wyatt said softly, but no one missed the anger under his words. Patty snorted quietly, "Personal gain, that's what's stopping you? Fuck sake, Wyatt, this is your brother we're talking about. This is my big sister we're talking about, and I will be damned if I'm going to not try just because it's classed as personal gain. We've done shit loads for magic. It's time for it to give us something back!" Patty said angrily. "Don't even think of mentioning the Elders and how mad they'll be. I don't give a shit if the Elders don't approve of what we're doing. They can all go to hell for all I care!" Melinda said to her brother as she saw him open his mouth to protest.

"Are you going to stand there and try and give us pointless reasons of not doing this, or are you going to help us? Or do you just not want your brother back?" Phoenix stated softly and watched as his eyes lit up with fierce determination. She knew she had him then. "What are you guys talking about?" Prue asked her cousins. "We're getting Parker and Chris back." Wyatt said before making his way to the attic. Melinda, Patty and Phoenix were straight behind him while the Brody children and Samantha looked on; stunned.

"Pheebs, Billie, you have to eat something," Paige said softly as she held out a sandwich for sister and charge; who were looking straight through her. "I'm not hungry," Billie mumbled out as she unconsciously tightened her grip on her wife. "Me neither," Phoebe added; making Paige sigh. She put the plates with the sandwiches on the little table behind her. She had been trying every now and then to get them to eat. Just as Kyle had been doing with Leo and Piper, but he had no luck so far either.

Hearing a knock at the front door, Paige took a deep breath before standing from her kneeling position in front of Phoebe and Billie. Paige said nothing as she made her way out of the conservatory and to the front door; walking through the living room as she did so. She unconsciously held her breath as she walked past the stairs and out of the living room. She couldn't believe a demon had killed her niece and nephew, two of the strongest witches she knew. Hell, Parker was the strongest witch. She was the ruler of magic, although she didn't want to be. She was the wielder of Excalibur, but after a serious talk with her parents and much persuasion from her niece, Phoebe and Billie had agreed with her about giving it to Wyatt; which had shocked and pleased him. She was originally going to give it to Chris but thought better of it because she knew he wouldn't want to rule over a whole kingdom. She still remembered the look on Wyatt's face as he unwrapped the Christmas present Parker had given him; only to find it was the sword, Excalibur. His jaw had basically dropped to the floor, and after a very long debate of why Parker wanted Wyatt to have it, he had jumped right up from his seat and hugged the life out of Parker. Parker was left gasping for air by the end of it as the rest of them had laughed.

Now, Parker and Chris were both gone, Two people who brought happiness and many laughs to the Halliwell/Broady families, Paige was still trying to wrap her head around it. Upon reaching the front door, Paige took another deep breath and braced herself for what was probably about to be either a nosy neighbor or someone who wanted to offer their condolences.

Paige opened the door and was met with the sight of Daryl standing there, looking tense. "Daryl? What are you doing here?" Paige asked a little stunned and confused as to why their friend was here and at such a late hour. "I have something important to tell you. I just got told myself and rushed straight over here because you have to know," Daryl said seriously. There wasn't time for pleasantries. He needed to tell them what he had just been told, now.

"Ok let me go and get my sisters an.....," Paige started to say but was cut off by Daryl. "This needs everyone, Paige, you need to get the kids, Brooke, Bianca, everyone."

Alarm bells were ringing in Paige's head as she nodded, let Daryl into the house before quickly shutting the door, and making her way into the kitchen to find Kyle. He was leaning against the kitchen island as he watched Piper and Leo closely. Upon seeing his wife, he gave her his full attention. "What's the matter?" he asked quietly. "Daryl's here. He says he has something important to tell everyone, and he means everyone. Can you get them, Phoebe, and Billie into the living room?" Paige replied just as quietly. Once she saw Kyle nod his head, she spun on her heels and left the kitchen. She made her way quickly upstairs; intending on finding the kids.

What she did not expect was to find them all in the attic, pouring over the book of shadows. "What are you doing up here?" Paige asked loudly as she entered the attic; making the twins and Mel jump from the sound. "We're just keeping ourselves occupied," Wyatt said quietly, and even Paige could hear the lie in his voice. "And that means what? Going through the book to find some demons to take your anger out on?" Paige asked softly. She knew what the children were going through, but she still wasn't happy with them looking for trouble. Trouble usually found them. A perfect example being what had happened to Chris and Parker. "We're not looking for demons, we're eliminating them," KJ explained to his mom quietly as they continued to look through the book. Paige only now realized that there was a pad of paper and pen in Patty's hand. "Eliminating them from what?" Paige asked, but she already knew the answer. "Eliminating them from who did this," Melinda said quietly as Patty wrote down something on the pad of paper before they continued to flip through the book. "And when you've eliminated through all of the book and are left with quite a few on your list, what are you going to do?" Paige asked, but again she already knew the answer before they spoke. "We're going to make them suffer before vanquishing them," Phoenix said; surprising Paige with the venom in her voice. Nix had always been the calm one. The one to break up arguments, fights, or play peace keeper between her sisters and cousins if they clashed heads. So hearing her talk like this made Paige realize just how badly this was effecting her.

The charmed one sighed, "We'll talk about this later. Right now, you all need to come downstairs. Daryl said he has something important to tell us. Can one of you go and get Brooke, and we need to find Bianca," Paige said; knowing that task wouldn't be easy.

"I can get Brooke," Melinda said. She and Brooke were close. She was like the older sister Mel never had; along with Parker. "I can get Bianca," Wyatt said before orbing out. Mel looked at her aunt and without another word, she also orbed out. "I hope they can convince them to come," Patience said quietly as she went over to her mom for a hug; which was easily granted. "Come on, we better get downstairs," Paige said; allowing the kids to walk past her and out the attic before turning around and walking out of the attic herself. Patience never left her mom's side.
