-1Chapter 7-
Here is the next chapter. Please, don't forget to review.
"Hello." a young girl around ten says walking towards Gwen. "My name is Lina. What is yours?"
Gwen tries to walk pass her but the little girl holds her hand.
"Let me go, little girl." she almost hisses out.
"It's not nice to ignore someone when they ask you a question, Gwen." she says surprising the woman.
"How did you…"
"I am here to guide you, silly." Lina says with a giggle. "I am something that you have lost a long time ago. Something you are looking for."
"I am looking for a young man not a little creepy girl."
"No, Gwen, you are not looking for him. Not that way anyway. Look I just rhyme." she says laughing more making Gwen loose her patience more and all of suddenly a vase blow up. "All right sorry. What I mean is that you are looking for something deeper than that."
"Don't make me hurt you." Gwen finally explodes.
"You know you can't. If you show your dark side you will be thrown out of here." she says in a all knowing voice. "Just come with me Gwen. Believe me when we finish you will find what you came here for. It will be a whole lot faster."
"Okay" Gwen rolls her eyes giving in. "but if this is going to take to long and be pointless I will hurt you. Maybe not right now but in the future."
She says facing the little girl.
"Fine with me." she says walking away with Gwen right behind her.

"Hi." a little boy says coming out of the door.
For some reason he looks familiar to Chris. Before he can ask the little boy anything the kid runs of into another direction. Chris hesitates for a moment before running after him.
"Hold on." he shouts out.
--
"Piper." Leo says after he appears on the Manner.
He leans over her and heals her. Shortly after he hears a moan and she sits up and looks at him.
"Where is Phoebe, Paige or Chris?" she says quickly running up the stairs to the attic.
"What is going on?" Leo says but then he sees the other two on the floor.
Leo quickly runs to them and heals them. While Leo helps Paige sit up Piper does the same to Phoebe.
"What happen here?" Piper ask.
"I was trying to fight that witch when Paige tries to throw a potion at her pissing her off. Then I don't remember." Phoebe says.
"I remember a splitting headache and then blackness." Paige says.
"You guys need to be careful. With what Chris has told us she is nothing to mess with. Where is Chris anyway?" Leo ask.
"I… don't know." Phoebe says feeling her brain go blank.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Paige ask. "You were the last one to talk to him."
"You know what I remember that Gwen or Jenn or whatever her name is was trying to get into magic school." Piper says.
"They must be there." Leo says.
"Lets go then." Phoebe says.
"But she is evil. She probably hasn't been able to get in." Paige says.
"We can't take a chance. We need to go find out." Piper says as they all go down towards the door.
They run in and find Gideon standing there.
"Well, if it isn't the Charmed ones and Leo. How may I assist you today?" the elder ask.
"We were wondering if Chris has gone by." Phoebe says.
"Chris? I am afraid I have not seen him. But sometime ago this young woman came in asking for him too."
"She was able to get in." Phoebe says.
"What do you mean?" Gideon ask perplex.
"She is an evil witch from the future. She came to take back or kill or we are not sure, Chris." Piper says walking around.
"Do you know what way they went?" Paige ask.
"I am not sure. I doubt she is really that evil. She was able to come in her." Gideon says still in deep thought.
"Even if your right we can't take a chance." Leo says. "She attacked the manner just to get to him. Who knows what she will do here?"
"But Gideon is sort of right. She could have easily killed if not all at least one of us. She took us out with just her mind." Phoebe says.
"So what are you saying we just let her take, Chris?" Paige ask.
"No, we still need to be careful around her." Piper says. "Let's split up and look for them. Leo stay here just in case they try to leave this way. We'll meet up in an hour."

Gwen falls to the floor gasping for air. She had no idea how her decision has affect her.
"Why did you show this to me?" she says looking at the little girl.
"I just want to make sure that you don't do anything you'll regret. That is what you are afraid of. What you are looking for." Lina says.
"I don't know. I am confuse." she gets up.
"When the time comes you'll know what to do, Gwen. Know at least you know what your missing. That what is missing in your mind." Lina starts to walk away.
"Where are you going?"
"Our time is up. Its time for you to get to reality."
"What?"
"Wake up."
"Gwen." Chris runs to the woman lying on a rock. "Gwen, wake up. Wake up."
"Chris?" she says opening her eyes to see who has been calling her.
But she puts her head back down and covers her eyes. At that moment Chris looks back at the boy that he was following.
The boy gives Chris a big smile before waving goodbye and disappearing from sight.
"What's wrong?"
He turns to look at the concern look of Gwen.
"I just… never mind this place is weird." he says shaking his head.
Gwen sits up with his help.
"Chris…"
"I know." he says. "It is just easier for me to go with you."
"I promise nothing will happen to you. But if I return without you the worst can happen. Not only you but him. Me." she then shrugs and gets up. "Besides if those pesky Charmed Ones get in the way once more. I don't know what I'll do to them."
"Chris," Phoebe says coming in. "there you are. We been looking for you."
"And now you'll be saying goodbye to him." Gwen says stepping between the two.
"I don't think so." Phoebe says.
"Phoebe, don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Don't worry about it." Chris says getting between the two witches.
Gwen gives the older witch a satisfy smile and a small wave.
"Leo." Phoebe calls out. "Leo I found them."
Gwen smiles turn into a wicked one.
"Phoebe listen to me." Chris says. "There is no other way. Just be sure that I am not giving up." he grabs hand. "Lets go."
"Bye, Phoebe. Tell your sisters how lucky they have become."
With that Chris orbs them out.
