Really short update here but I'm off back to school on Tuesday so it'll take me a while to get into an updating pattern and I wanted to get something up before hand. I've tried to add more detail, it was mentioned in a review on PFFG so I'm gonna try do it with this one as well, but if it doesn't work tell me and I'll switch back.

Hope you like this is mainly a be mad at Leo chapter (Well is planned that way but I've completely switched half the story line so who knows...)...
.................................
(Continues pretty much straight after last chapter ended)
"Where the hell is he?" Piper was pacing in the attic, absentmindedly rubbing the side of her stomach. "He should have come; I told him it was important. Hell what is important if this isn't? They should not have heard that. This is not good."
She continued rambling as her sisters watched confused, what the hell was she on about? Who shouldn't have heard what? Phoebe spoke first, trying to find a point in which to cut Piper off.
"Piper." She said, and was ignored as Piper continued her pacing. "Piper!" She all but shouted. "What the hell?"
Pissed off at being interrupted she simply stated.
"Something bad. Something very very bad."
Her sisters stared at her before simultaneously agreeing on one thing – find Leo; and fast.

Chris sat on the floor silently gloating about Wyatt's misfortune; he liked it when the great twice blessed king Arthur got taken down a peg or two. Especially when it was in front of him; good stories to tell Wyatt's mates when they weren't letting him play, generally meant Wyatt would cave and let him in he hated being embarrassed with a passion. Although for Wyatt there was no way to get back at him as Chris generally managed to laugh it off and recount a much worse incident involving Wyatt; hence Wyatt generally didn't bother.

"Why isn't this working? This should be working!" Paige said exasperated as scrying failed for the fifth time. She glanced over at Piper who, half an hour later, was still pacing muttering to herself. "And it needs to work and fast, I swear she's going to wear a hole in the floor if she carries on."
"With you on that one." Phoebe said dejectedly closing the book. "Nothing in here. You fancy asking them?" (A/N Paige was being more whitelightery in later seasons so eventually I'm guessing no Leo Paige goes instead, well she does in this)
Paige's look said it all.
"That would be a no then." Phoebe sighed. Effectively guilting Paige into agreeing to go. "So what else do you want to try, sensing's not working, scrying definitely isn't and there's nothing in the book."
"Fine, I'll go but when I'm scarred for life I'm blaming you." Paige orbed out scowling.
Phoebe settled herself back to work. This was going to be a long, long day.
******
Paige reformed, blinking in the bright light.
"Hey, I'm over here. I need information and like now before your great Charmed One ends up in a psych ward. You know how much I hate you guys so can we make this as quick and painless as possible? Please?"
A faceless, nameless, Elder walked over.
"Paige."
"Elder." She responded in exactly the same tone of resentment.
"Why are you here?"
"Well judging by the activity in this place and the fact it's no one important I'm talking to, you guys already know."
"Ah Leo, yes. He's got himself into bother again."
"Bother." Paige interrupted. "What kind of bother?"
"I'm not permitted to say."
Paige's rant was stopped before it could even start as Odin stormed over.
"Michael, go. Paige, hi; I am to presume you are talking about the fact that Leo is missing, am I right?"
"Yes. Wait a minute missing? We thought he was doing some crap for you guys again. But apparently not. What do you know?"
"That a certain athame has resurfaced and Leo has been missing ever since."
"Please tell me you are not saying what I think you're saying." Worry crossing her face as she pleaded with the Elder. "Please."
"Unfortunately not Paige. Someone has found Gideon's athame and unfortunately his death has not removed the enchantments he placed on it." Odin almost looked genuinely sorry as he said it
"Great just great. Thanks." Paige disappeared quickly in a flurry of orbs. Odin headed back to the group concern etched into his features, God he hoped the girls would be able to do something.
******
Paige reformed in the attic where Piper was, still, pacing. "Well for once they were useful." She announced causing Phoebe to jolt awake almost spilling her coffee. "Unfortunately there's a slight problem."
Phoebe pounced as soon as she heard the word. "Problem, Paige explain said problem."
"Athame, Leo's missing and guess who's athame it was?"
"God no." Phoebe said hopefully although the defeat was already apparent in her eyes. She tugged on the bottom of her top. "Please no."
"Yeah that would be the one, you know when me and Leo watched Chris die because Gideon was trying to kill Wyatt? Yeah it would be that athame."
Phoebe slumped, now completely defeated. "This is not good so not good. We so need the power of three for this and at the minute we only have the power of two; unless we can get Piper to snap out of it. Which is looking less and less hopeful by the minute."
Paige sat next to her sister. "Yeah, plus one to the bad guys; they got us on this."
Outside the door Chris and Wyatt recoiled in horror. (A/N You may have noticed they have a habit of doing this, got it from Phoebe probably!)
Wyatt was the first one who managed to speak. "What the hell?"
Chris just stood in shock. He had died. He had freaking died!
"Chris?" Wyatt noticed his brother's expression and grabbed his brother's shoulder shaking him. "Chris?!" Wyatt's voice was edged with concern. "Snap of it bro, come on." He shook his brother again desperately trying to get a response. "Mom, Aunt Phoebe, Aunt Paige!" He yelled. "Needed now, please. As in hurry before Chris ends up in a psych ward because no one can snap him out of it.!" He carried on shaking his brother to no avail. He slumped back in defeat as his Aunts came running out of the attic, both of whom paled as they saw the location the boy was in, as well as the vacant stare he had.
Silenced stretched on for what seemed like an eternity. The two currently sane adults both thinking exactly the same thing.
Not good.
******
Leo's face was pale and he was shaking, his hand and pale yellow shirt covered in blood. He looked up and was rewarded with a large boot in his face effectively forcing his head back down; he groaned as his head hit the floor, hard. His captor grinned.
This would be fun.
...............................
The Leo bit was originally longer but that would have revealed who it is too soon. If you want to have a guess at it review and I'll tell you if you're right!!!! Oh and obvs the be mad at Leo idea kinda disappeared but I kinda like this anyway. :)
Hope you enjoyed it!
