Rejection, Acceptance, What's next
Disclaimer: I own nothing
This one is going to have alot of Chris, but be warned. That'll make it slightly long.p.s.
Paige and Piper emerged into the attic to find no-one there. In a panicked flurry they search the attic only to find nothing. Piper is going into panic mode at this point.
"Where the hell are they"? Piper asks Paige knowing that she wont get an answer. Paige shruggs and tries to sence them, but to no avail. That power isn't well enough developed. "Mabey they went to... I don't know" Piper cries. " I hope they didn't get captured to". She colapses into a chair but springs back up.
"What is it? Paige asks worriedly. Piper looks down on what was on the chair and finds a note, along with a pen.
"It's a note" Piper says exidedly. " It says 'hey guys me and leo went to chris's pad to try to get a preminition. be back soon'" Piper laughs nervously going " That's Phoebe for you". Paige looks relieved and is about to grab Piper to orb over to P3 when the familiar sound of orbs catches thier attention. Leo and Phoebe form out of the swirling blue mist. Phoebe has a tear stained face and Leo is trying, and failing, to comfort her.
"Just tell me what you saw" Leo tried to coax. When he saw Piper and Paige he sighs with relieve. Ever since Phoebe had that preminiton the only word he could get out of her was 'sisters'. Phoebe notices them and runs to them. She babbles out the whole story and by the end Piper and Paige are bleary eyed to.
"What now"? Paige asks. She clears her throat the get rid of the shaky sound that reverbirated through her voice. Piper dig's through her pocket to find the potion. She moves towards Leo.
"Take this to the other elders and find out what it does. It might actually be usefull" Piper says. Everyone stares at her and she knows why. "Look I know that it was given to us by a demon." She snaps. "But it might tell us who Chris is" Piper says. Leo eyes light up slightly as he takes the potion and orbs out.
"Now we should try to figure out which part of the underworld Chris is in" Phoebe says. She's still disgusted by the easy torture that the demon put Chris through but decides not to dwell on that.

Chris's legs stung with pain, but he wouldn't show it still. The jeans he wore at the beginnnig of this 'session' were ripped to shreds and would never be able to be used again. Chris was exhausted but was still fighting.
"Now let's try this again". The demon leered tauntingly at Chris. He got an enery ball fired up in his palm and aimed it once more at Chris' left leg."Will you join Lord Wyatt"? The demon inquired the same question that he's been asking since the beginning and which Chris has continued to refuse.
"Let me think about that for a minuet" Chris said his voiced laced with scarcasim. He was readying himself for impact. "NO". As the disobedient word left his lips the demon released his energy ball, hurling it at Chris' prone figure. The energy ball struch directly on his knee and Chris winced. He closed his eyes and mouth against the pain lest tears or screams betray him.
"That certainly looked painfull. I guess that energy ball wasn't getting the job done, now was it. I'll give you another chance as Lord Wyatt requested..." The demon began arrogantly. However he was cut off by Chris' voice.
"And just what did Lord Wyatt" Chris spat his name out as if it were posion. "tell you to do. Did he tell you to torture me because I think that he'd be very displeased with you if not". Chris noted with satisfaction that Breton flinched as though Chris had hurled the energy ball this time. Chris used this second to his advantage. With a slight flick of his finger he sent the demon flying through the air landing with a loud thump on the groud. The demon recovered surprisingly quickly. He jumped up and sent to energy ball's flying at Chris in a quick sucsession. They eat hit one of Chris' hands. Chris finaly yelped but quickly closed his mouth. The demon smiled snarkily. He threw another energy ball directly at Chris' stomach. The energy ball made contact with Chris' skin and burn his flesh causing Chris to scream out in pain. He remained consious but his breathing was laboared.
"You're obviously not getting the message so let me spell it out for you. Join. Lord. Wyatt. Or. Else." The demon roared at Chris. Chris had his head bowed in an almost defeated gesture but wouldn't give up just yet.
"no" Chris barely wispered. "You're not understandig so let me help you." Chris gasped out. "I. Wont. Join. Him. Period." Chris knew that he would pay dearly for his defiance. And so he did. The demon sneered.
"We'll see about that". Were the last words that Chris heard. An energy ball was hurled directly at his stomach. The energy ball made contact ride beside where the other one struck. Chris cried out in pain and, exhausted, passed out.

Leo was walking through elderland. It was white and misty and very... heavenly. He was nervous about Chris' situation, but at least he was doing something to help he reasurred himself. He spotted who he was looking for a made a bee-line for an older looking Elder.
"Perow" Leo called out, hoping to get his attention. It worked as Perow turned towards Leo looking a little surprised.
"Leo" His old voice was gravely. "How can I help you". He was one of the oldest and wisest elders. Leo took a deep breath and gave him the potion.
"I need to know what this does". Leo said. He was nervously fidgeting as the other elder, Perow, examined the glass vile which held the contents of the potion.
"It looks like a seeing potion. I am confident that is what it is". The elder nodded and handed it back to Leo.
"I don't understand" Leo said looking confused. Perow looked confused before sighing.
"It is a potion that allows you to see what you cannot see". Perow answered cryptically. Leo still looked confused so he continued. "Say a friend was half-way around the world. If you poured these contents into a bowl then you could see them. But there's a catch. You have to know everything about this person, otherwise the connection isn't deep enough and you wont be able to see". Leo nodded and looked away distracted.
"Do you know anything about a Family Spell"? Leo asked abruptly. Perow looked startled by the question but answered.
"Of course. People sometimes feel... empty as though something is missing. The Family Spell allows you to discover your missing person." Perow was confused by the changed of subject before it dawned on him why Leo was asking. "Go to the sisters and use the family spell. Then the potion".
"Thanks" Leo answered already orbing away.

He orbed into the attic where the girls were waiting for him.
"Well" Piper demanded impatiently. She saw Leo's excited look and said "Well" again in a nicer tone. Leo's answer was not one she expected.
"Where's the Family Spell, we need it" Phoebe got up and left to go get the spell.
"Why do we need that"? Paige asked confused.
"I have a hunch"? Leo answered. His hunch scared him. He didn't want to be right, because if he was that meant that he had mistrusted, even beaten up his own son. Leo shuddered as Phoebe re-entered the room. "Cast it" Leo said urgently. Stunned into submission the Charmed ones complied.
