"Wait, what do you mean, missing?" Coop asked, moving from the sofa towards Phoebe.
"As in not answering her calls and vast amounts of smoke being found escaping the attic."
"I'm coming with you."
"Not really a problem for a cupid, but if someone needs to find love, I'll give you a call."
"I meant I'll take you. I have a magical form of transportation remember?"
"Oh, right, you do. That ring of yours."
"Yeah, that ring of mine." Coop took Phoebe's hand and they hearted out of the room.

As my sister and brother-in-law headed to my home, my half-sister was scrying at her home for her lost charge.

"C'mon, c'mon, drop already!" She mumbled, swinging the crystal around over the map.
"Mom? What are you doing?" Sara asked, walking into the kitchen.
"Trying to find Steven Simpson."
"Steven Simpson? As in Steven Simpson that goes to my school Steven Simpson? That one?"
"The very same."
"Why are you looking for him? I thought he just ran away?"
"Would a teenager run away without their cell phone?" Paige asked, holding out for her daughter to see.
"Not in a million years. Still, why are you looking for him?"
"He's my latest charge. The Elders asked me to guide him."
"He has powers? I knew it, I so totally knew it! Jennifer totally owes me twenty bucks."
"Wait, you thought he was magical?"
"Yeah. One time in AP English, I saw him hold out a pencil in the palm of his hand, then let go of it."
"Yeah, and?"
"The pencil remained standing in his hand. It was totally like that scene from 'The Craft.'"
Sara moved towards the fridge when the phone rang. She pulled it from it's stand and answered it.
"Hello, Mitchell Residence? Hey Aunt Piper! Sure, she's right here. One second." Sara said cheerily, holding out the phone to her mother. Paige took it. Sara moved back towards the fridge.
"Hiya Piper, how g-? Missing? No, of course, I'll orb right over. No, its fine, I'm on my way." Paige ended the call and placed the phone on the map beside the crystal.
"What did Aunt Piper want? Who's missing?" Sara asked, opening the fridge door.
"Your cousins."
"Which ones?" She asked, pulling out a bottle of water. Paige made her out to the hallway, grabbing a jacket from the hall stand.
"All of them." She called over her shoulder as pulled the jacket on and orbed out.
"What?" Sara shouted, heading out into the corridor. "Mom? All three of them are missing?" She asked to the empty corridor. She grunted, stamped her foot and headed back up the stairs.

As I rounded up my sisters, I summoned my husband from Magic School. I figure that his knowledge of everything magical may be needed. In the meantime, my daughter was waking up. And she was not alone.

"Ouch." Melinda said, pulling herself off the ground and reaching up to the back of her head. She gently applied pressure to the back of her head and gasped as she felt the size of the lump growing there. "Ow, that hurt." She blinked and dropped her hand, looking around her darkened cage.
"Where the hell am I?" She muttered, placing her hands on her hips and looking around, which didn't help cause it was too dark.
"You're not in Kansas anymore, that's for sure." A voice said from in front of her…the same voice of the demon that took her earlier.
"Who the hell are you and where the hell have you taken me? And why is it so dark in here?"
"The first question I won't answer, the second one, well, I thought you'd figure that one out before now. And the last one, well, I can fix that." Suddenly flames flickered on the side walls, the room has become visible. Opposite Melinda, lying on a bed was a boy of around 17.18, with light hair, fair skin and green eyes. He wore a pair of dark blue jeans and a faded red shirt. On his right cheek was a large, purple bruise. "Who's the kid?" Melinda asked, walking over to him and kneeling in front of him.
"A witch, like yourself."
"And why are we here?"
"Because…" the demon paused for dramatic effect. "I'm not gonna tell you my leader's plans, what do you think I am, stupid? You're the daughter of a Charmed One."
"Great. Well, you know me, I don't know you. How can I send you that thank you gift basket for this wonderful accommodation?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"What?"
"Huh. He said you were smarter than this."
"He? Who's he?"
Melinda rushed to the metal, but was shot backwards. She grunts as she hits the ground. Wiping off the dirt, she picks up a rock and throws it in front of her. It crumbles into dust.
"Forcefield, just perfect." The demon laughs and leaves the Melinda's view.
"Come on Mom, find me." She said, looking upwards.

My daughter kidnapped by an unknown demon. Seems awfully familiar, doesn't it? At my home, my sisters arrived, one in the kitchen, the other in the conservatory.

"Piper!" Paige called out, seeing no one in the kitchen with her. She pushed open the swinging door. She walked out through the dining room and saw her sister sitting in the living room, Book of Shadows open on her lap.
"Piper, I'm here." Phoebe said as she and Coop made their way from the sun room.
"Me too." Paige said, sitting on the edge of the couch that Piper was sitting on.
"Now, explain. What the hell happened?"
"I came home from the restaurant at around six thirty. Standing on the porch was Melinda's rocker boyfriend Joe. He said to me that Melinda was supposed to meet him but never showed. Then he said that when he got here, he saw smoke billowing out of the window in the attic. That was twenty minutes ago. I spent the time before calling you searching each room in this house and calling out to all three of them at least a dozen times. Nothing happened." Piper released in one breath. She swallowed a sob and took a deep breath.
"Did you try the 'to call for a lost witch' spell?"
"I did, three times. Nothing."
"Maybe if we all said it together?" Paige offered.
"The power of three is more powerful than the power of one." Phoebe stated. Piper began flipping through the pages, searching for the spell. Frustrated that she couldn't find it, she knocked the book to the floor.
"Honey, breathe. We'll bring them back." Phoebe cooed as Paige lifted the book from the ground and began to search its pages for the spell.
"Got it. Ready?" Paige stood and held out the book in front of her, which Phoebe took. Her sister's joined her side, Phoebe on the left, Piper on the right. Paige held out both hands. "Knife!" In a flash of blue and white lights, an athame appeared in her hand. "Cup!" In more blue and white lights, a small cup appeared in her other hand.
"Let's do it."
"Power of the witches' rise. Course unseen across the skies. Come to us, who call you near. Come to us and settle here." Paige pricked her finger with the knife, passed it to Piper. She did the same ritual and passed the knife back to Paige. Seeing as her hands were full with the book, Phoebe motioned for Paige to do it. She pricked Phoebe's hand. All three sisters held their pricked fingers over the cup and let their blood run free. "Blood to blood, I summon thee. Blood to blood, return to me."

As me and my sisters tried to summon my children, my two boys were casting the spell to return home. With another whoosh, a crack of thunder and a large abundance of smoke, they returned to the present time in the attic.

"Ok, where the hell is mom? I so need answers!" Chris said, tearing the sheet with the spell up.
"You need answers? Did you just find out that you should be this big bad ass that would destroy humanity?" Chris shook his. "Then quit whining."
"Wanna go get some answers?" Chris said, moving towards the attic door.
"Hell yes."
