Chapter 7: Hidden Feelings

"Carly get your boyfriend under control while I try to talk some sense into D.J." Patty said to her sister she didn't know what the hell was going on but one minute Jason and D.J. had been perfectly fine and the next thing they all knew they were at each other's throats.

Jason might have been shorter than D.J. but he had one of his hands wrapped around the taller man throat and D.J. was struggling against him to get him to let go. It was as if they both had got a burst of super human strength from somewhere.

Carly put her hand on Jason's shoulder gently so as not to alarm him. "Jason babe let him go this isn't you, you're under some sort of spell. Just let him go you won't be able to live with yourself if you do this." Jason looked at her like he was visibly trying to believe her. She nodded his head to encourage him.

Jason's grip on his roommate's neck loosened until he let go all together he threw his arms around Carly. "I'm so sorry I don't know what the hell came over me one minute I was fine and the next thing I know I felt the need to kill Morris." he said panting and out of breath.

Carly stroked his hair "Shh, it's ok I know you didn't mean to it will fine I promise." she assured him she wasn't at all sure everything was going to be fine but she had to tell him something.

Patty approached D.J. cautiously he was still under the effects of whatever spell he and Jason had been put under. "D.J. it's me Charlie just snap out of this, this isn't you, you wouldn't hurt anyone for anything." she tried but D.J. wasn't hearing any of it. Before Patty had a chance to react he hit her across the face with the back of his hand. She was momentarily stunned by the action she could taste blood in her mouth so she spit to rid herself of the taste.

Ricky saw red no one put their hands on his girlfriend and got away with it. D.J. might have been bigger than him but that didn't stop him from trying to go after him. He wrapped his forearm around D.J.'s neck. He was about to take his legs out from under him when he got a grip on Ricky's arm and tossed him over his head. He landed on the ground with a thud.

"You guys I really do wish you would do a better job of getting him under control before we get kicked out of here." Val said she was worried their older siblings still weren't there yet. Which might have been a good thing for her because her brother and sister were going to kill her when they found out that she had lost Penny.

Carly gestured wildly with her hand "Look around Val everyone is having a free for all I don't think they are going to notice what the hell we are over here doing." there was no need for sarcasm but apparently no one had told Carly that.

Patty rolled her eyes at her cousin and her sister here she was trying to make sure that D.J. didn't kill her boyfriend and they were more worried about arguing over the obvious. "That is so not helping right now you guys. Now if either one of you have any ideas to keep my boyfriend from getting killed I will gladly listen to that." she ranted her mother coming out in her.

Val looked at D.J. and back towards her cousin "I can't do anything about him he's huge the only one who can do something about him is Mel and the last time I checked we couldn't find her. Unless Mel is suddenly invisible now and you guys forgot to tell me." Sarcasm was a defense mechanism for the Halliwells it had to be they all used it when they felt insecure or threatened. But it never helped matters any and it wasn't helping right now but it made them feel a little bit better.

"You know I hate to bother you guys but I can only fight him off for so long so I sure wish you would think of something quick." Ricky yelled out as he blocked yet another punch from D.J. he had someone managed to get back to his feet. Now he was trying to fight the larger man off he was having a little bit of luck but unless he did something to really hurt him he would get the better of him soon.

"I can try to calm him down if you want me to." Jason offered he would do whatever he could to help them just like he always did.

Carly shook her head at him and looked at him like he was crazy. "Hell no Jason you two were just trying to kill each other. And I'm pretty sure he would still like to kill you so that is not happening you're crazy even to suggest such a thing." she raved at him she wasn't about to let him put himself back in harm's way it was bad enough that he was a cop and she didn't know if he was going to come back to her after every shift.

Val glanced at her watch it had been a least fifteen minutes since she talked to Prue they should have been there by now. "Prue and the guys should have been here by now I wonder where the hell they are. We could sure use Henry right about now he might be shorter than D.J. but I can guarantee that he is a hell of a lot stronger than him."

"You should have learned by now that our stupid good for nothing older siblings only like to try to micro manage what we do. When we actually get into trouble they are no where to found and then we have to fend for ourselves until they can find the time to get to us." Ricky replied to that never once taking his eyes off of D.J. who was swinging a chair wildly in his direction he jumped back when he got a little to close for comfort.

"You know Ricky I would watch my mouth if I were you it seems that you have already done something to piss D.J. off I don't think you want to add a pissed off older sister to that list." Lilly said they had showed up in time to hear Ricky's little rant.

Val smiled innocently at Prue who glared at her Jake at least walked over to her and made sure that she was ok before he started giving her dirty looks. Henry was checking both his sisters over to make sure that they hadn't been hurt he healed the cut that Patty had on her lip. Wyatt stood with his arm around Liz there was really nothing he could do at the moment. Troy had to hold Chuck back to keep him from throwing an energy ball at D.J.

"Morris what the hell are you doing ?" Chris asked in his gruff cop tone causing D.J. to drop the chair in his hands. The glazed look that he had in his eyes faded and the light came back into them.

D.J. looked from Ricky to Patty "What the hell just happened ?" he asked one minute he was fine and the next thing he knew he felt the overwhelming need to kill someone.

"Uh we're not real sure yet you and Jason should home now and we'll explain everything later." Liz offered and then she glared at them until they got the hint and left.

Prue looked at her baby sister and she willed her temper down but then she noticed that Penny was no where to be found "Valerie Christina Halliwell what the hell were you thinking ?" she yelled out and Val looked down framing a reply. But Prue didn't give her the chance. "No forget that a better question is where the hell is Penny ?" she expected an answer this time.

"Um I don't really know where Penny is she and Em went off a little while ago to look for Jack and Alan I haven't seen either of them since." Val admitted not daring to look up she didn't want to face her sister right now.

"Val if you want to come out on these little excursions that is one thing but you don't need to drag Penny down along with you. She is only fifteen years old she has no business being in a place like this I'm not thrilled that you're here but you know better than to bring Penny in here. Val you have one job and I know you can tell me what it is." Jake raved he was a lot worse than Prue right now because Penny was his pick out of his baby sisters.

Val sighed "The one job I have is to take care of Butterfly and make sure that she stays safe." she replied quietly her voice was barely above a whisper.

"Right and there is nothing hard about that job all you have to do is keep her out of harm's way not drag her into it just because you think it sounds fun. My God Val use the brain that you were born with sometimes it won't kill you I promise." Jake wasn't trying to be mean he was just very pissed off he looked away from his sister so that he didn't have to see the hurt in her eyes.

"Jakie I'm sorry," she offered but Jake just turned away from her she next turned to Prue "Ladybug please I really am sorry I don't want you and Jakie to be mad at me." Val tried her sister she could feel the hot tears burning in her eyes Jake never got mad at her like that, that was Prue's job.

Prue sighed and shook her head "Val you lied to me and then you knowingly brought Penny into a situation where you knew that there could be danger. I'm not mad at you I'm disappointed in you just like Jake is we both expected better out of you, you're older than she is." Prue replied she had to go off after Jake who had just walked away before he said something else he would feel bad about later.

Val looked pleadingly at her three older cousins but none of them made a move to do or say anything it was Troy who walked over to her side and put his arm around her. "Hey kiddo just give them both a minute to cool down they're just worried about you and Penny that's all. I know I worry about that dumb blond over there when I don't know where she is every second of the day. Not that I have to wonder where she is I just like to know." he said giving her a smile.

"Derek Brain Bradford Jr I think you and I have talked about you doing stupid things just because a woman bats her eyelashes at you." Chuck had his hands on his hips and he was staring his only brother down.

"Look I didn't do this because she batted her eyelashes at me Chuck I get tired of hearing you say that it pisses me off. I came because I wanted to not because anyone asked me to. "Ricky looked his brother in the eyes to show he wasn't going to back down from him.

"But you let Em come with you Ricky you can do all the stupid things you want to do but you need to make sure that Emily doesn't come along with you." Lilly instructed him not unkindly. The boy had been blessed with more brains than her and Roman combined when he did some of the things he did it disappointed her.

"I couldn't have stopped Em from coming if I had tried she would have fought me tooth and nail the whole way." Ricky replied he wasn't used to his older siblings being upset with him it was normally Emily who was on the receiving end of that.

"It doesn't change the fact that you still should have tried to talk her out of coming. Ricky I really do expect better than this from you you're the big brother. I count on you to protect her when I can't be around. You let me down today kid I'm not mad you just let me down I'm not used to that from you that is Emily's department." Chuck said more gently than he had before he didn't have to yell to let his little brother know that he was mad at him.

Ricky threw his hands up in a sign of helplessness "I'm sorry guys I can't promise that I won't do it again but I'll try not to." he replied he got pretty mouthy with his siblings when they started in on him. He was usually the nice quiet laid back one.

"Is this the part where you start yelling Hank ?" Carly asked her older brother she had been through this with him before and he yelled a lot.

Henry shook his head and looked between both of his sisters it just didn't seem fair to him that everyone else had another sibling to help them out but it was just him over those two girls. "No I'm not going to yell at you right now Carly I expect this out of you it's the younger of the two of you that I have the problem with right now." he stared Patty down and she looked away from him.

"Hank I can explain Alan said that he had a gut feeling that there was demonic activity going on and obviously there is. So we decided to come check it out." Patty offered weakly she wasn't used to her brother being disappointed with her she was his girl.

"Patty doing things because your little brother tells you to is stupid you have to remember that he may be older right now but you are still his big sister he does what you say not the other way around." Henry only called her Patty when he was upset with her which wasn't very often.

"As long as you're not going to yell at me right now I will tell that no one knows where Alan and Jack are either." Carly said she was just happy not to be the object of her brother's rage for once.

Henry sighed "That is great you both have a lot to learn about being older sisters. Rule one when he suggests you do something stupid you shoot him down. If you do let him talk you into something you never let him out of your sight." he instructed them.

"So not only did you manage to lose my baby sister you lost Wyatt's baby brother along with her." Chris said in disbelief he wasn't claiming Jack at the moment he was mad at him for this stupid stunt.

"We didn't lose them we just don't know where they are at the moment." Val said playing with words what she said was the same damn thing that Chris had said.

Wyatt looked thoughtful for a moment and shrugged his shoulders "Huh maybe next time they tell me they have a bad feeling about something I should listen." he mused more to himself than anyone else.

"Wyatt you knew about this and you ignored them ?" Liz asked him in disbelief he was one to talk he went off of gut feelings all the time.

"I knew that they thought something was going on here I didn't know that they were going to drag the girls into this if I had known that I would have listened to them about it. Besides there is nothing I could have done about it anyway I seem to remember that I was busy this afternoon." Wyatt replied testily.

"Don't you two start again I will send your asses right back to memory lane if you don't watch it." Bianca told them they both knew that coming from her they should believe it she didn't make threats she didn't have to.

"So what do we do now ?" Parker asked as much fun as it was for him to listen to them all yell at each other he really wanted to know what their next step was going to be.

"Knowing this group of people yell some more and then try to think of a way to fix this." Calleigh answered ignoring the glare she was getting from Liz.

"We do not yell that much it's just better to get everything out in the open before we rush in after a demon." Liz answered back it was apparent to everyone that there was no love lost between Liz and Calleigh. And that was odd because Liz like just about everyone.

"Lizzie I've already told you once today to be nice don't make me have to tell you again." Troy warned his sister. He didn't know what the hell was up with her when it came to Calleigh but he didn't like it. That wasn't typical of the sweet caring woman that was his sister he didn't know where the bitch she turned into around the younger woman came from but he didn't like it. One of the things he loved the most about his sister was that she was nice to everyone.

"So in answer to what we do next I think that we should split up into groups and go looking for them. Chris, Hen, and Prue can be in one group for sure Coop, Chuck, and I will be in a group, Lizzie, Lilly, and Parks can be in a group too." Wyatt suggested when all else failed he went back to divide and conquer.

"That sounds like a plan to me I'll go with Henry, Carly you and Val go with Troy and Calleigh. And Ricky and B take your pick you can either go with Lilly or Chuck it's up to you." Patty suggested without Mel there she was pretty much in charge of the younger five since she came up with the best ideas.

"That works for me if it works for you guys." Chris said nodding his head.

"I have a question how come I can't be with Prue ?" Chuck asked it was idle curiosity nothing else.

Henry sighed before he explained "Because Chris, Ladybug, and I are Charmed now if anything comes up we will be able to handle it because we have the power of three. Anymore stupid questions ?" he asked sarcastically ignoring the glare that Chuck sent his way.

"Yeah why the hell do I always get stuck with Lilly's whinny ass all the time ?" Liz asked sticking her tongue out at her friend.

"Because other than me you're the only one who has the patients to deal with her." Jake explained as he and Prue came back from where ever the hell it was that they had gone. Lilly sent him a death glare. "I'm just kidding baby if I didn't love you I wouldn't be marrying you." he recovered smoothly.

"Everyone has their assignments go and get to it. We meet right back here in ten minutes exactly if you're not here we assume you got captured whoever makes it back will then go to the apartment and think of something better to do." Chris ordered it might have been Wyatt's plan but he had ways to improve it he was the planner along with Henry.


"So does anyone care to tell me just where the hell we are ? Or are you going to make me guess ?" Mel asked sarcastically she had not yet recovered fully from the effects of her concussion and now she had an even worse headache on top of that.

"Now Mel calm down it isn't as bad as it seems." Jack said in a soothing tone trying to calm his only sister down.

Mel glared at him harshly she wasn't in the mood for him to talk to her like that. "You're right it isn't as bad as it seems it's worse I have been gone way longer than I said I was going to be so I have news for you they called the oldest five and they are on their way right now. So don't you tell me to calm down Jack Halliwell this is pretty fucking bad." she ranted at him this was all his fault well not all his fault Alan was to blame too but he wasn't her brother someone else could deal with him.

"Mel that is good news if anyone can get us out of here they can granted we are all going to get yelled at rather loudly but it will be worth it. I still don't understand why I am always getting tied up." Penny whined it wasn't like she went out looking for someone to tie her up it just always seemed to happen to her.

Alan cocked his head to the side thoughtfully "Maybe because you don't know how to stay out of trouble would be my guess but that is just a guess." he mused making a face at her when she glared at him.

"Please my head hurts enough from whatever they used to knock us out I don't need you two adding to it by fighting." Emily grumbled she was convinced that being friends with the Halliwells was going to get her killed well before she reached her twenties.

"For real there will be no fighting down here it's bad enough that two boys I know from the future got me taken hostage I couldn't stand to hear any of you have a round right now." Mel agreed they were playing on her nerves enough as it was without adding to it by fighting.

"Sorry Mel you know my mouth gets the better of me sometimes." Penny apologized.

Jack began struggling against his chains there had to be a way for him to get all of them out of there. Emily looked on amused. "Jack what the hell are you doing ?" she asked him she had already tried the approach he was turning to now and it hadn't worked out very well for her.

Jack turned his head to look at her "Well I'm trying to use my power of super human strength to get us the fuck out of here but that does not appear to be working very well." he replied sarcastically.

"Hey now there is no need for the sarcasm." Penny scolded him for talking to her best friend and partner in crime that way.

"Penny we're Halliwells there is always a need for sarcasm." Alan informed her smirking.

"Correction you are a Matthews-Halliwell you people are supposed to be less sarcastic and more gutter brained by nature. We try to leave the sarcasm up to the Wyatt-Halliwells it is what they do best. And we leave the being nosey asses and other wise meddling in people's business to the Valintine-Halliwells." Penny corrected him.

"Hey Penny newsflash for you sweet older cousin of mine my last name is Halliwell not Matthews-Halliwell." Alan corrected her it didn't hurt telling them that it's not like it was some big secret anymore.

"And Jakie isn't nosey that is just you and your two sisters who don't know how to mind your own business." Mel added she wasn't going to deny that she was sarcastic.

"Not only that but I do believe that Val has the same gutter brain that Aunt Paige does. While Carly is just as sarcastic as my mom ever dared to be." Jack said he resented being characterized as the sarcastic one.

"Am I the only one who thinks it's wrong we're having this discussion while chained to a wall ? Call me crazy but we should probably be thinking of ways to oh I don't know get the fuck out of here." Emily asked it made a lot of sense to her.

"Ah and there would be the famous Nicolae temper for you." Penny said off hand.

Mel shook her head at that comment "Nope that would be the famous Bradford temper my boyfriend does not have outbursts like that. Only her and Chuck do that Ricky doesn't even have that bad of a temper." she corrected her cousin's statement.

"Right silly me I meant to say that would be the famous Nicolae whinniness and you can't deny that Roman does that because he does." Penny replied.

"He still doesn't whine as much as Lilly does I don't know how Jake stands her. She is my sister and I would like to kill her sometimes." Emily commented.

"It's a fair trade then it's only right that Jake should have to put up with her if Chuck has to put up with Prue not only does she whine but she bitches." Penny offered she loved her sister but she could be one more bitch when she in one of her moods.

"Does anyone other than me care that Wyatt is going to be super pissed when he gets us out of here ?" Jack asked a pissed off Wyatt was not a pleasant person to deal with.

Mel rolled her eyes her oldest brother didn't scare her it was what Chris would do that had her a little afraid he was her favorite brother because they were closer in age and he couldn't stand to have him mad at her. "Oh I care Jack I just don't give a fuck you're big brother does not scare me." she informed him lightly.

"He was your brother first." Jack said frowning Wyatt always had to be his brother when he started his bullshit.


Liz and her group were wondering down the corridor that held the bathrooms they had to find something soon otherwise they would have to go back to the table their time was almost up. They hadn't seen hide nor hair of them and that wasn't normally a good sign meaning that a demon was involved for sure.

"This is no fair I really hate my brother right now he gets to miss out on all this shit all because he is Aunt Piper's favorite." Lilly whined she had to do more things than she cared to count. And she didn't want to sound like Prue but her feet were really killing her at the moment.

"Yes we've established that Roman is a stupid jerk that gets to miss out on everything. But don't you bitch about having to do anything until you get sent where Prue sent Wyatt and I earlier I'm still pissed off about that." Liz complained she wasn't through with Prue by a long shot.

"You know as much as I hate to interrupt the two of you while you're bitching our time is almost up and I really don't want to get left behind the last time I checked none of us could orb of shimmer." Parker offered only to get a glare from both the women he was with he threw his hands up in a sign of surrender. "Ok I'm sorry I'll just shut up now." he said sticking his hands in his pockets.

"Parker don't shut up just go check the man's bathroom while I go check the woman's Lilly you wait right here for us." Liz ordered and she walked into the bathroom while Parker went where she told him to. She didn't know why the hell she was looking in there but she knew teenage girls if something went wrong they tended to congregate in the bathroom for some reason she had never understood.

Liz checked under all the stalls but she didn't see one of the younger Halliwell cousins that was just great now she knew for sure there was a demon involved unless of course one of the other groups had any luck finding them which she seriously doubted they never got that lucky. To top it all off when she walked back out in the hallway neither Lilly or Parker were there waiting for her.

"Oh this is just what I needed after the day I had a damn demon to deal with." she grumbled to herself as she quickly made her way back over to the table she didn't want whatever had happened to her friends to happen to her.

"Someone please explain to me what the fuck you want to do now ?" Henry asked a hostel tone in his voice as he banged his sizable fist down on the kitchen table in his apartment. All that was left of their group was seated around the table. That consisted of Henry, Chris, Prue, Liz, Patty, Calleigh, and Bianca.

"Henry calm down your anger is helping no one right now." Patty tried to sooth her brother but it wasn't working he was wound up like an eight day clock there was no talking to him when he got like that.

"The better question is what the fuck happened to my brother ?" Liz asked Calleigh pointedly.

"I don't know the demon or whatever happened to all the others would be my best guess but it is just a guess I had nothing to do with it that is for sure. All I know is we split up to look in different directions and the next thing I know I couldn't find any of them." Calleigh explained.

"Really because I'm not so sure you didn't have something to do with it." Liz argued right back their was no reason for her to be like that towards Calleigh but she was too close to Wyatt for her liking so that was all the reason she needed.

"Lizzie knock it off Calleigh didn't have anything to do with this I don't know what you're problem is but you need to relax." Chris instructed her he wasn't equipped to handle Liz that was Wyatt's job and of course the idiot had managed to get himself caught.

"I'll tell you what her problem is she is jealous because Calleigh is a little too close to Wyatt for her liking." Bianca said it was such a Prue comment but she couldn't help that it was true.

"Thank you B finally someone sees some reason on the matter. Lizzie I hate to tell you this but you're only pissed at her because you like Wyatt." Prue informed her she knew she was on thin ice already but as long as they were on the topic she was going to set the record straight.

"I do not like Wyatt I don't know what I have to do to get that through your head but I don't. Sure maybe I have a little crush on him but I don't like him he is my best friend and that is all that can ever happen between the two of us." Liz said not so sure of those words anymore she had liked kissing him more than she cared to admit.

Patty sighed and shook her head "Take this from someone who has been there and done that you like Wyatt because he knows you and gets you better than anyone else ever will. That what it is with me and Ricky he is my best friend and my boyfriend who I would really like to get back so lets focus."

"Well we can't go to the manor and look in the book that is out of the question. And even if we could we have no clue what we would be looking for." Chris wracked his brain trying to think of ideas but he was coming up blank.

"I think it goes without saying that we have to do something here." Prue pointed out at the moment she didn't know who she was more worried about her three younger siblings or her boyfriend.

"No shit Prue really now I was just thinking we could leave them all to figure a way out this mess themselves. Truthfully I'm glad to be rid of Troy for a little while and I spent all day with Wyatt thanks to you and I'm rather sick of him at the moment." Liz shot back sarcastically.

"Let me be the first one to offer a real suggestion I could only orb the book here." Patty offered thinking her older brother and cousins got off topic more than her and the younger five did and they were teenage girls.

Henry shook his head "Too risky one of the aunts might be looking at it and then we would have to explain why we needed it. This is one of those things that we shouldn't bother them with right now. I mean we have the power of three right here so that should have us covered right about now." He was not going to let his mom and aunts know what was going on if at all possible.

Bianca slapped herself in the center of the forehead "I'm so stupid I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner." she said every time she got in the same room as Henry her brain turned to mush she just couldn't think because he distracted her so much. They looked at her expectantly after an outburst like that it would be nice to know what she was thinking. "It's so simple the answer to this is magic school sure it might not be the book of shadows but it runs as close second. We might be able to find something out there." she explained the reason for her little outburst.

"That would do it B the question then of course becomes what the hell are we looking for. Because I have no clue." Liz replied trying very hard not to sound bitchy when she spoke.

"What about it Charlie ? What did Jack and Al think was going on ?" Hank asked looking directly at his youngest sister. He was still more than a little pissed at her for lying to him she never lied to him.

"There were a bunch of random acts of violence that were traced back to Hex and they got a weird vibe off of it so they wanted us to check it out." Patty explained it even sounded lame to her but it was obviously a legitimate threat.

"After which the suspects all stated that they had no clue what came over them. Yeah I know I can't believe Hank and I didn't piece two and two together sooner we even arrested a couple of those people." Chris said shaking his head he didn't even have the flashbacks to use as an excuse for why he had missed that one.

"You two knew about this and you didn't think to tell any of us ?" Liz asked jumping down their throats she forgot that she was trying to be nice at the moment but that didn't matter the two stupid asses should have known that with them nothing was random.

"Sure we knew about this we just didn't think it was demon related forgive us if we wanted to at least have a normal work life." Henry threw right back at her.

"Now I'm just going to make a suggestion we can sit around all night arguing about who knew what and when they knew it. Or we can go do something to get everyone else back. Me I like the second option but you guys can do what you want." Calleigh said trying to make them see reason.

"Guys she is right we have to do something about this come on lets go to magic school the sooner we get their dumb asses back the less chance we have of the aunts catching us at this. I don't know about anyone else but I really don't want to have to deal with a pregnant pissed off Aunt Piper and I don't think you guys want that either." Bianca chimed in leave it to her to get them back on track there was no way Liz was going to listen to anything Calleigh had to say.

"B as usual is right lets do this thing I for one would really like to get my brother and sister back before my mom finds out that they are missing." Chris said and he orbed out leaving the others to follow suit.


"I bet the next time we do something like this you insist on searching the basement Halliwell." Chuck groaned to his male best friend they were now chained to the wall in the basement store room as well.

"Don't blame this one on me look at my little brother for this it was his fault." Wyatt argued back he wasn't taking the blame for this he had only been trying to fix it he had no intentions of getting caught like this.

"Here is a good idea we should try blaming the damn demon that did this to us instead of each other but that is just a thought." Carly threw her opinion in not that it counted for anything at the moment she was the one who had listened to her little brother when he said that this was a good idea.

"I for one agree with Carly I hate demons." Lilly said not only did she hate demons but she hated her twin brother right about now because he got to miss out on this.

Jake got an indignant look on his face "Thanks babe we don't have to get married you know." he knew that she hadn't been talking about him. Lilly just rolled her eyes at him she wasn't going to dignify that comment with a rebuttal.

"Jakie she wasn't talking about you and Chuck and you know it." Val said knowing she was still on her brother's bad side for letting Penny come along.

"Where the fuck is Roman when we need him ?" Troy asked not really knowing what good Roman could do in this situation but he could be mad at him for not being there along with the rest of them.

"He is my mother's little stooge that is why he gets to miss out on all this fun. But you will recall that last time he was working and we had to go after a demon we all thought he was dead for a week. So don't talk about him like that , that is not something I want to relive." Mel said just the thought of what had happened to her boyfriend scared the hell out of her.

"Relax Mel he is fine I just saw him this morning and there was not a demon in sight." Lilly assured her.

"Forgive me I know I ask a lot of questions in times like these. But how the fuck are we going to get out of here ?" Parker asked since no one else was going to.

"That is a very good question Parks something that we have been working on since we have been down here but we have yet to come up with a damn thing." Penny replied to his question they had thought of everything but without their magic they were kinda stuck there.

"Penny you're miss I sneak out of the house every night you should be out of here by now." Val told her sister she was much better in the sneaky department than she was.

"Val we're all pretty much in agreement then Phoebe Halliwell is our mother we should have been out of here two seconds after we got our asses caught." Jake said shaking his head.

"Ricky can't you just conjure a key or something so we can get out of here ?" Emily asked her older brother.

Ricky scrunched up his face in concentration "No my powers don't work in here I wish they did but this demon is smarter than the last one." he replied he was so in hopes that would have worked now they would have to try something else nothing was going their way today.

"Can't the mighty twice blessed get our asses out of here ?" Alan asked he was on thin ice but he didn't care none of his ideas had panned out anyway.

Wyatt shook his head he had already tried everything in his arsenal and it just wasn't working. "Nope I've tried everything I know how to do to get out of here it just isn't working and believe me I have tried everything two or three times." he answered he didn't know what good being twice blessed was when he couldn't even get out of a situation like this using his powers.

"Shit well we tried now I guess the only thing left to do is sit back and wait for the Charmed Ones to come get our asses out of this mess." Chuck groaned he sure hoped the three of them had come up with something good and that they hurried his eating schedule had been thrown off once again by them and their damn demon hunting.

"Chuck you're crazy mom and the aunts don't even know where we are plus they will kill us for this." Val said incredulously she hadn't yet been informed that her sister and cousins made up a new power of three.

"Val he isn't talking about mom and the aunts they turned over the power of three to Chris, Hen, and Prue for the duration of their pregnancies. So they should be coming here any second to rescue our asses. But knowing them they had to get into a fight first, then do research , and then come up with a plan. It's a long boring process that we have to go through every time we get attacked by a demon." Jake explained hoping they would hurry up and do whatever it was they were going to do he was tired of being chained to the wall.

Alan's face lit up he had just thought of something that he should have thought of before. "Hey Jack why don't our powers work in here ?" he asked and he saw that Jack was thinking up a good answer to that question.

"Because our powers come from good magic I would imagine." Jack answered his face lighting up too he knew where Alan was headed with his line of questioning.

"Let's say for the sake of argument that we knew two half demons their powers would work in here right ? And lets say that we knew someone with astral projection they could project anywhere but here right ?" Alan asked another line of questions and by now everyone was listening to their banter with rapt attention.

"Well if we knew three people like that than yes their powers would work in here." Jack answered a devilish grin on his face.

"Hey dumb and dumber let the rest of us in on what you're thinking." Carly ordered them it was their fault that they were all sitting in the storage room chained to the wall anyway.

"I was thinking that maybe Jake and Chuck could maybe manage to get out of here while Jack astral projects to where ever the hell the others are and tell them what is going on. But that is just a theory." Alan explained it wasn't great but it was the best they had to work with.

Penny looked at her older brother hard "Jake did you even try to shimmer out of here ?" she asked knowing that he was stupid enough not to have even tried.

Jake sighed and gave her a dirty look "Yes I tried Penny I'm not stupid my shimmering doesn't work in here not all people who can shimmer are demons you have met B she can shimmer and she is a witch." he said offended that his sister would think that he had been stupid enough not to try to get out of there.

"So what do you propose we do ?" Chuck asked resigned to his fate it was one of the only times only he and Jake could help using their demonic powers.

"Try out one of your demonic powers and see if they work down here and then we'll go from there. There is no sense in getting our hopes up if this isn't going to work." Jack replied.

Chuck sighed and tried the only thing he could do that wouldn't get someone hurt. He stuck out his tongue until it reached it's full length and he tickled Wyatt's ear lobe with it. He got a look of pure disgust on his face "Ew Chuck don't do that, that is disgusting." he protested.

"Chuck I really wish you wouldn't do that it is nasty I don't want to claim you as my brother when you do that." Emily whined and shut her eyes tight so she didn't have to see it.

"The only people in this room getting disowned right now are Alan and Jack this was their bone headed idea." Val narrowed her eyes at both her future cousins.

"Alright boys what do you want me and Chuck to do ?" Jake asked not sure how they were going to be able to help.

"Oh that is very simple whoever has better aim needs to try to melt the other's chain with energy balls. While Jack tries out his astral projection." Alan explained and both Jake and Chuck stared at him.

"No way am I letting Cookie Dough lob energy balls at me he might miss and hit me on purpose." Chuck protested.

"Fine Chuck you can try to melt my chains just don't hit anything important." Jake relented he wasn't going to fight about it that was what got him in trouble with Prue he couldn't tell her no when he needed to.

"Just stop arguing and try to do this." Wyatt said and he watched as his baby brother closed his eyes and tried to astral project out of there. Jake pulled his chain tight and held it up so Chuck had a better target.

Chuck threw an energy balls and hit the chain some of sparks hit Jake on the arm "Ow shit Jelly Bean aim a little higher next time that really fuckin hurt." Jake whined Jack opened his eyes and glared at him he was breaking his concentration. "Sorry I'll be quiet now." he said as Chuck threw another energy ball.


Chris, Henry, Prue, Liz, Bianca, and Calleigh were sitting at one of the huge oak tables in the library at magic school while Patty searched through the stacks for anything that would help them out. But she wasn't having much luck and it was starting to piss her off. The proof of that was a bunch of books flew off the shelf because her telekinesis was going haywire.

"Charlie Uncle Leo is going to kill you when he sees what you did to his library." Henry smirked at his little sister.

Patty turned around and glared at her brother "Shut up Henry I'm the only one who seems to care that we can't find a damn thing on the demon that has our family so forgive me if I'm not in the best fuckin mood right now I mean damn even I'm entitled to a little break down sometimes. You try being around Carly and Val all day and then you see what the fuck that does to you." she ranted willing her temper back down.

Chris slammed the book shut that he had been looking at it hadn't helped him one little bit "Down girl we'll find a way to get them out of where ever the fuck they are just chill out." he soothed her and she narrowed her eyes at him.

Prue had her elbows resting on the table and her head was in her hands "How the hell are we supposed to save them when we can't even find out what demon has them ?" she asked rhetorically because no one had an answer to that question.

"If there is anything on this demon it would be here but we don't have a lot to go on so without being able to refine our search we are flying blind." Bianca said if anyone could find the impossible in that library it was her and Chris they both had spent more time in their than they could count.

Liz ran her hands through her golden blond hair "This is so damn frustrating I can't believe they thought this was a good idea." she threw her hands up so was so tense because she was worried about Wyatt.

"Liz I didn't think this was a good idea but I was out voted Mel thought it was a good idea because she had nothing else to do Ro is out of town." Patty defended herself had it been up to her they would have just forgot about the whole thing but no one ever asked her what she thought or what she wanted to do.

Calleigh laid her head down on the table "Ok this is pointless we all need to stop attacking each other we might just have to go in there blind if we don't find something soon." she mumbled it was a good thing her eyes were facing the ground or she would have seen the way Liz was looking at her.

"You're fuckin nuts and now I know it we can't just go in their blind it is a miracle that you've lived this long with as stupid as that sounded." Liz said in disbelief.

Calleigh's head shot up off the table Chris and Henry's eyes lit up they thought for sure they were going to get to see a chic fight. "Look Liz I will make this real simple for you I do not want Wyatt so you don't have to worry he is all yours whether you know you want him or not. He wouldn't dream of looking at a woman that wasn't you so just let it go." she raged she was tired of getting grief from the older woman over nothing.

"You could have the pain in the ass for all I care I don't want him either I wish everyone would stop saying that I do he is just my best friend that is all. And trust me you're not his type anyway you're not a bimbo." Liz replied not sure anymore who she was trying to convince she didn't want Wyatt everyone else or herself.

Prue let out a shrill whistle stopping them before they could get into a full blown fight. "Knock it off I can't believe I'm the one saying this but you guys need to focus. Liz you should be just as worried as I am your brother is in there with them. I just want to get Jake and my baby sisters out of there before something bad happens to them so I would love it if you guys would just shut the fuck up and help. If you don't want to help just be quiet so I can find something." she sighed she hadn't meant to go off like that but she couldn't help it she got mean when she was worried. Not only did she have three siblings to worry about but her boyfriend was in there with them too.

"Ladybug sweety calm down they will be fine I agree with Calleigh though if we don't find something soon we are going to just have to go in there without knowing anything else." Chris said putting his hand on her shoulder and he smiled down at her. Prue smiled up at her favorite cousin.

Bianca looked up and saw Jack walking across the library "You know that might not be a problem look over there." she said pointing to Jack who was standing behind his brother and oldest male cousin. Everyone glanced in the direction she was pointing.

"How the hell did you manage to get out of there Jack ?" Patty asked him but he was from the future he could do just about what he wanted to.

"I didn't look I don't have much time to explain this is my astral self we are being held in the basement of Hex we are in the storage room. Al and I think that this is a chaos demon so act accordingly. But whatever you do please hurry I'm stuck in there with a bunch of crazy people all they do is bitch and whine." Jack explained in one breath. Bianca grabbed one of the books off the table and began flipping through the pages.

"Jack on a scale of one to ten how sure are you guys ?" Henry asked looking over his shoulder at his cousin's astral self. He had to know they had been dead on about there being a demon.

"About an eight or a nine there is no other explanation for it just hurry up I have to go I don't know how much time we have." Jack said before he faded out in a red light.

"You know I always wondered if one of us would get that power." Chris mused out loud.

Bianca stopped at a page and read it before she spoke "Ok I found it but there is one little piece of information that you guys are going to love it takes the power of three to vanquish it." she said.

Chris, Henry, and Prue all looked at each other "We all knew we were going to have to use it sooner or later we're just having to do it sooner than we would like to." Prue said sighing they could do this they had no other choice their family was depending on them.

Liz gave them all two thumbs up "For what it's worth I know that you guys can do this." she assured them with a smile.

"How do they get rid of it ?" Calleigh asked Bianca.

"There is a vanquishing spell right here." Bianca replied going to the librarian's desk she grabbed a pen and a piece of paper and began copying the spell down for them.

"So I guess we go and do this now ?" Patty asked she just wanted to get her sister and boyfriend back.

"Of course we do Charlie we have no other choice don't worry so much that is Wyatt's job. We'll get them back and then I am going to yell at Carly for a little while." Henry said standing up.

"Alright lets go." Chris said there was nothing else for them to do there they had to act and they had to act fast.


In the office at Hex a large mustached man sat behind the desk with is feet on it there was something sinister about his green eyes he was talking to a man standing in the shadows. "I have the Charmed brats and some of their friends down in the basement what do you want me to do about them ?" he asked the man in the shadows.

"I want you to get rid of them like we talked about." the man replied making sure to keep his face hid.

"I'll get rid of them when I get my payment." the man behind the desk said stubbornly he didn't trust any demon they all cheated and lied he knew because he did the same things himself.

The other man stepped out of the shadows it was Ken he was trying to do away with some of the next generation before the source did away with him for not doing his job right "You will get your payment once you have gotten rid of them." he said ice in his voice there was no room for mistakes he had to act quickly.

"No demon in their right mind would go after them without some incentive first." the other man replied he knew it was pure suicide to touch one of those kids the Charmed Ones would be all over them.

Ken grabbed the other man by the throat "You already have them and from what I've seen they are indisposed they can't fight back. I have your incentive kill them and the source won't kill you." he released his grip and stepped back from him.

"You have my word they will be gone." the man stammered out a bit shaken up he snapped his fingers and a demon appeared at his side. "Take some men and kill the prisoners." he ordered him the demon nodded his head and shimmered back out. "Happy ?" he asked Ken.

"Very happy I knew that you were a smart chaos demon." Ken replied giving him an evil grin before shimmering out he didn't want to be anywhere around when this went down.

The demon straightened his clothing and leaned back in his chair closing his eyes. He sighed when he heard his door open. "What part of those orders didn't you understand ?" he hissed.

"I didn't understand any part of them." Henry sneered at the demon Chris and Prue were on either side of him.

"I'm sorry can I help you three ?" he asked not knowing what they could want.

"Yes you could die painfully." Prue retorted and she flung out her right arm sending him crashing into the wall.

"I don't think that will be happening today witch you will be the one doing the dying." he leered at her throwing an energy ball at her.

Chris pushed his hand out and sent it back at him hitting him in the shoulder. " I would like to see you try you don't have the power." he taunted him as he powered up another energy ball. "Now would be good Hank." he yelled at his cousin as he dodged the energy ball.

Henry shot out his hands and froze the demon "Alright hurry lets say the spell." he said in a hurry to get to the rest of their family.

"Demon of chaos demon of pain the world is your playground trouble your domain. No longer shall you dwell with the power three we banish you to the fires of hell." the three cousins chanted in unison after Prue had pulled the spell out of her pocket.

Flames engulfed the demon and he let out a great howl of pain as he died leaving no evidence behind that he had ever even been there.

"Now I know why mom and the aunts never get tired of doing this." Prue said a smirk on her face.

"I know I'm so glad I don't have to clean up after them cleaning up after you and Wyatt is bad enough." Chris mused.

"We can continue this conversation later right now we need to go get the others." Henry said rushing out of the room the other two hot on his heels.


Down in the storage room Chuck and Jake had managed to get themselves Wyatt and Mel free when a group of demons shimmered into the room. "You guys get the others free Wyatt and I will take care of these demons." Mel said.

Wyatt looked at his sister "You take the five on the right and I'll take the five on the left." he said and Mel nodded in agreement.

Mel flicked out her fingers to blow one of the demons up but it didn't work so well she sent it flying into the wall instead "Damn it I hate this stupid power." she growled but that didn't stop her from trying again this time she got the result she wanted.

"Charlie told you about getting pissed off when you have that power it is hard to control like that." Carly taunted her she was still chained to the wall.

"Carly you're still chained to the wall shut up before I let one of these demons get to you." Mel shot back at her.

Wyatt sent out an energy blast at two of the demons and they turned to dust on the spot. "At least my powers work right." he taunted his sister.

"Damn it Halliwell I leave you alone for five minutes and not only do you get lost but you start fighting with Mel." Liz yelled at him as she, Bianca, Patty, and Calleigh came busting through the door.

Bianca threw an atheme and hit one of the demons in the back with it he had Mel backed up against the wall. "Thanks B." Mel called out to her as she flicked out her writs and blew up another demon.

"No problem Mel hey if you guys can orb I would try it now the others should have taken care of the problem." Bianca replied as she killed another demon. Anyone who could orb tried it and it worked. The others pulled at their shackles and they fell off. Soon all the remaining demons in the room had been killed just as the other three made it down there.

"So can we go home now ?" Emily asked hopefully only to shudder when she saw the look her older sister gave her "I'll take that as a no then." she said looking down.

"Oh that is the understatement of the year you guys are in huge trouble right now." Wyatt flared he was pissed his baby sister had almost gotten killed because of her stupidity.

Mel looked at Chris with a sad puppy dog face. "Chrissy I'm sorry." she said in her best little girl voice.

Chris shook his head he would give in if he looked at that face too long. "No Lyn not this time huge trouble I mean it that goes for all of you except Jack and Alan you didn't have to go along with them." he shot her down.

"How come they get off the hook ?" Val asked it wasn't fair this had been their idea.

"Because they know what they're doing you're the ones who should have planned better that is not their fault." Henry backed Chris up and Wyatt nodded his head in agreement.

"Our apartment now." Prue barked out and all of them got the hint and either orbed or hearted there.

Chuck walked over to Prue and slipped an arm around her "Babe you're a total bad ass." he said as he leaned down and kissed her.


Wyatt stood with his arms crossed over his chest at he looked at the seven teenagers who were sitting on his couch. He locked eyes with his sister "Melinda Paige Halliwell what the hell were you thinking not telling anyone ? You could have been killed and no one would have known what you were up to." he raged at her he just wanted this day to end it wasn't going his way at all.

"I was thinking that it was nothing and we could take care of it without running to you guys. We are never going to learn how to do things for ourselves if you insist on smothering us." Mel didn't back down from her oldest brother she was more scared of Chris than she was of him and Chris didn't scare her either.

"Wy she is right we always said the same thing when mom and the aunts started in on us." Chris said and Mel gave a triumphant smile but that was short lived. "But that doesn't change the fact that you should have told some one what you were up to Paige. And that sure as hell doesn't give you any right to drag your younger cousins down with you. I will admit that I am just a little disappointed in you right now you're smarter than this." he sounded so much like Piper that Mel couldn't argue with him.

"Chris she didn't drag us into anything me and Charlie went willingly." Carly mouthed off to him she didn't care none of them scared her the only person who remotely scared her was her Aunt Piper.

"No shit no one makes me do a fuckin thing that I don't want to do." Patty agreed with her twin besides if Mel was doing something she would follow her.

Henry shook his head he knew that neither of those girls would do anything that they didn't want to do. He had to hide a smirk he was supposed to be mad at them. "Then one of you should have told someone so you didn't get into the mess you got into. You both know better Carly Janice Matthews Halliwell I don't care what stupid things you do but you don't have to drag your sister down with you." he yelled at Carly who shrugged him off and then he turned his rage on Patty. "Patricia Charlotte Halliwell you have no idea how extremely disappointed I am in you right now you never lie to me and you did today I expect that from Carly but never from you. You always tell me what's going on." he fumed he was so pissed by the time he got to her he had dropped the Matthews from her name.

Patty looked down at her feet "I'm sorry Hank I just knew that you would be mad so I didn't tell you." she said lamely.

"You should have just told the truth I would be no where near as pissed as I am now and like I said I'm more disappointed than anything. But you didn't have to drag Ricky into this I know if it wasn't for you he wouldn't have been there." Henry softened when he saw the hurt in his sister's eyes he wanted to put his arms around her more than anything so he did he was a big softie that was why they walked all over him. "Hey I'm sorry I was just scarred of losing you." he said looking her in the eyes and she buried her face in his chest.

Chuck rubbed his hands together he hated yelling at his brother but he didn't leave him with much of a choice on this one "Derek Brian Bradford Jr you have your own mind that you should use on things like this. You damn well know better than to let Em follow you into your bullshit. You're very lucky you're dealing with me and not dad right now." he scolded him.

"Chuck I couldn't just let them go in alone not that I really have an active power but I can help damn it. If it had been Prue you would have done the same thing. And as for Emily she would have went because Penny was there." Ricky argued back.

Lilly silenced Chuck with a motion of her hand "Emily Grace Bradford I don't know what I'm going to do with you. You know better you and Penny are way too young to be doing things like this." she said sighing she just didn't have it in her to yell at her sister too much.

"I'm not a baby anymore Lilly and you have to understand that." Emily fired back.

"I know you're not a baby Em but you will always be my baby sister and I can't help it if I worry about you. Chuck and Ro would never forgive me if I let anything happen to you. You know that your dad would be super pissed about this and you know how mom has been since Ro got kidnaped just be more careful sweety." Lilly said and she hugged her.

"Can we please go home now Prue ?"Val asked she just wanted to go home.

"Valerie Christina Halliwell no you can't go home yet what you did tonight was stupid and reckless if you don't have any regard for your own life that is fine but don't bring Penny along with you." Jake yelled at her.

"What Jake means is that you're the big sister you're supposed to look out for Penny not let her go into places where she might let herself get hurt." Prue wasn't nearly as pissed as Jake was.

Penny frowned "Hey I'm my own person Val is not the boss of me just because you're the boss of Jake Prue." she didn't like to be treated like a baby.

"None of them know that they all think that they can boss us around." Mel said standing up and putting her hands on her hips..

"No Mel we just don't want any of you guys to get hurt you have to understand that." Wyatt shot back at her this could go on all night.

"Are they always like this ?" Calleigh asked Bianca and Troy she knew she wouldn't get an answer out of Liz.

"Pretty much it is the same routine all the time." Troy replied nodding his head.

"Except that Jake, Prue, or Chris is normally on the receiving end." Bianca agreed with him.

"Someone needs to stop this I'm too tired to listen to it anymore." Liz said normally she would come to the rescue but she didn't have it in her. They all looked at Parker and he nodded his head.

"Hey you guys need to cool it I think they get it." Parker yelled out but they didn't pay any attention to him.

Bianca let out a wolf whistle and Henry looked at her "Not that you guys were listening but you need to knock it off for the night it is late we are all tired just send them home." she said.

"Fine all of you go right home and I mean it I don't want to hear you stopped to do anything stupid on the way." Wyatt dismissed them and they all orbed out.

Henry threw himself down on the couch and sighed Chris fell down next to him. Wyatt sat in one of the arm chairs and Liz joined him Jake and Lilly took the other one while Chuck and Prue took the love seat. Bianca sat by Henry.

"I can't believe them they think that nothing can happen to them." Henry fumed he was more mad about their lying than anything.

"Hen I think that maybe you need to relax a little bit." a voice behind him said and his eyes went wide with shock he was too a afraid to turn around.

When he turned around he came face to face with his wife "Oriana ?" he said so low that it was barely a whisper and then he turned on Prue "Prudence Elizabeth Halliwell I'm going to kill you." he raved.

Bianca looked up at her baby sister and she was at a loss for words she didn't know what to say. "Hi B." the younger brown haired woman said to her sister.

"O I'm so sorry you have to know that I never meant for that to happen." Bianca said tears in her eyes but she stood up to hug her sister.

"B I know that you told me to stay down and I should have listened it wasn't your fault it was just my time to go." Oriana assured her and then she beckoned to Henry with a hooked finger. "Come here Hen." she said and when he did she pulled him to her and kissed him passionately.

Henry pulled away from her a look of shock on his face he couldn't believe that she was actually there. "Oriana I missed you so much." he said tears running down his face.

"I missed you too Hen now I want you to tell me what you felt just now when I kissed you." Oriana ordered him.

Henry thought about it for a moment and then he knew what he felt "Oriana truthfully I didn't feel anything I'm sorry." he said he had thought she was the one but he knew now it wasn't true.

"It's ok I'm glad you didn't." She smiled at him before she turned to Bianca "B you are a great big sister you were always so nice to me even when I was being a bitch to you. Even after I stole your man to make you jealous and I'm sorry for that." she said to her sister.

Bianca shook her head and wiped a tear from her face "You didn't steal my man O I don't know what you're talking about." she said but she knew.

"Yes you do B you're being selfless again it's time for you to be selfish fight for what is yours honey. I've seen the future and trust me he is yours." Oriana pointed to Henry as she spoke. "And you don't think you're cheating on me by moving on I want you to." she said to Henry that was what everyone had been telling him.

"But I loved you." Henry said confused he was going to kill Prue this had to be her doings.

"The key word is loved I think your heart belongs to someone else it always has we were headed for divorce I had the papers drawn up and everything I couldn't do that to B anymore I just never got the chance to give them to you they are in that box you refuse to open." Oriana explained to him and then she took his hand and put Bianca's hand in it. "The girl I love and the boy I love are in love you two have my blessing not that you need it."

Henry and Bianca looked at each other "Thank you." they said in unison.

"You're welcome and for the record neither one of you is to blame stop thinking that. I have to go now but I will never be far. I love you both so much." Oriana said she nodded at Prue before she faded away back to the after life.

Henry looked at Bianca for a moment before he figured fuck it and he leaned down and kissed her passionately. She returned the kiss with just as much passion "She was right I do love you B." he said when he pulled away.

She smiled up at him "I love you too Hank."she replied before she kissed him again.

Prue wiped away the tears in her eyes "Now tell me that I'm not damn good." she said to the room. If she could do that she could get Wyatt and Liz together.

"Shut up Prue." Wyatt and Liz yelled at her in unison.


Piper was pacing the living room like she hoped to wear a hole in the floor "Leo where the hell is my baby ?" she asked him like it was his fault that Mel wasn't home yet.

Leo sighed he had no clue where Mel was and she was blocking him "I don't know Piper I'm sure she will turn up she is probably just out." he guessed hoping that was it.

"Aunt Piper please relax this is Mel we're talking about she will be fine." Roman assured her he was the one who had discovered that Mel was gone when he went up to surprise her.

"Relax Ro my baby was not in her bed asleep when you went up there and she has to do this a lot because there was a basketball there to look like she was sleeping." Piper ranted and raved.

"Piper she is eighteen years old we have to give her some space." Leo reasoned with her but it was the wrong thing for him to say because Piper glared at him.

"For the record only your daughter would do something like this my boys are all total angels." Piper shot back at him.

Roman chuckled he had grown up with the Halliwell brothers they were no angels "Half whitelighter yes but those boys are no angels Aunt Piper I could tell you stories but then you would never let me see Mel again." he still remembered the time they had all snuck into the strip club.

"Ro is right Piper those boys are worse than she ever dared to be I'm sure she had good a reason for doing what she did." Leo agreed with Roman.

Piper scoffed at that "No reason is good enough I don't care if the older kids needed a power boost she could have told us." she maintained stubbornly.

At about this time Mel was trying to sneak upstairs to her room but Piper saw her "Hey Mel catch." Piper yelled out and threw the basketball to her.

Mel being startled froze the ball instead and then she looked in the direction it had come from and saw her mother standing there with her hands on her hips. "Hi mom hi dad." she said waving shyly Roman had hid where she couldn't see him.

"Where the hell have you been Paige I was worried sick about you ?" Piper asked never once taking her hands off her hips.

"I'll tell you in the morning when I think up a good lie." Mel said looking down at her feet she was so busted.

"No you'll tell me now and I want the truth." Piper stared her down.

Mel sighed she was too tired to lie "There was a demon that we found and we had to take care of it. It took longer than we thought it would." she didn't lie she just didn't tell the complete truth.

"Melinda Paige Halliwell you know that you tell someone before you do that." Leo said he couldn't believe her.

"Sorry daddy." she said giving him her puppy dog face which he couldn't stay mad at.

"Just don't let it happen again Paige." Piper relented.

"I won't mom I'm sorry." Mel replied slightly worried Piper was going soft on her. Wyatt had yelled longer and louder.

"I'm glad you're sorry I have a surprise for you close your eyes." Piper said smiling and Mel did as she was told. Roman stepped up in front of her. "Alright open them."

Mel opened her eyes and saw her boyfriend standing in front of her she broke out in a grin and jumped up in his arms wrapping her legs around his waist. "Ro I missed you so much." she gushed pressing her lips to his.

"I missed you too Mellie don't scare me like that anymore. I went up to your room and you weren't there I thought maybe you were stepping out on me." Roman joked with her before he kissed her again.

"I would never do that to you that must be your guilty conscience talking." Mel joked back with him.

Roman reached in the pocket of his pants and came out with a jewelry box "I brought you something." he sat her down on her feet and handed her the box.

Mel took it and opened to reveal a diamond necklace. "Thank you so much Ro." she said kissing him again.

"You're very welcome sweety I missed you so much baby girl." Roman said wrapping his arms around her.

"Enough you two you're making me sick it's early enough in the morning for me to get morning sickness. Get your asses up to her room now before I ground you both." Piper threatened them and they headed for the stairs. "And Mel we will discuss this more in the morning." she called after her.

"Yes mom thank you I love you." Mel called back blowing her a kiss.

Piper smiled when she felt Leo wrap his arms around her "You're getting soft on me being lenient is my job." he said kissing the side of her neck.

"She is safe and I want her to be happy in the morning I'm going to interrogate her so I'm letting her enjoy tonight." she turned her head so she could kiss him and he orbed them back to their bedroom.


"Ow damn it that hurt." Val yelled out when she ran into the wall it was dark in the condo and she didn't want to turn the lights on.

"Shut up Val you're going to get us caught stupid." Penny yelled at her sister in a harsh whisper just as the living room light turned on.

"And where have you two ladies been ?" Coop asked his arms crossed over his chest.

"Um out." Val said lamely.

"Valerie tell the truth." Phoebe scolded her.

"Ok fine we were out with the girls mom that's it end of story I'm going to bed now good night I love you and dad both." Penny said walking to her bedroom before they could stop her.

"Yeah I think I'm just going to go to bed too." Val said trailing behind her sister.

"Val not so fast come here your mom and I need to talk to you." Coop said and Val stomped back over.

"I will have you both know that this is not fair if Penny is off the hook for this I should be too." Val whined as both her parents sat her on the couch between them.

"First of all Penny is not off the hook for this and second of all that is not what we want to talk to you about." Coop said putting his hand on her knee.

Phoebe turned to face her daughter "Val I need to know that you're not going to be mad at me and daddy forever." she brushed stray lock of hair out of Val's face.

Val sighed and shook her head. "Mom I was never mad I was just hurt that you and dad kept this from us that is all. Once I got over the shock I realized that I might have been a little unreasonable when I stormed out of here last night." she admitted and she reached out to take Phoebe's hand.

"Sweety mom and I wanted to tell you but we just didn't know how. We didn't want any of you to think that we are trying to replace you because we're not. I love you three girls and your brother with my entire heart I always will. I have more than enough room for one more." Coop assured her putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Val sometimes things like this that aren't planned happen I'm sure I don't have to get into details with you. But your daddy is right I doesn't mean we love any one of you kids any less my life wouldn't be complete if it wasn't for the four of you." Phoebe kissed her on top of the head.

"Mom I'm sorry that I was so mean to you last night I was just upset." Val apologized.

"Sweety I know that you didn't mean anything you said it hurt more that you stormed out and went to your sister instead of talking to me." Phoebe always wanted her kids to be able to talk to her and it had hurt that Val had went to her sister instead.

"Mom you know that there are just some things that you can't say to your parents that you can say to your sister." Val offered shrugging.

"There are some things that you can't say to your mom or Prue if you don't want the whole world to know." Coop said grinning.

"Coop that is not funny thank you don't talk about me like that I can keep my mouth shut. Ladybug on the other hand might need to learn not to pry so much." Phoebe said with a straight face like she never tried to pry in anyone's business. Coop and Val both looked at her like she lost her mind. Before they could say anything they heard someone yell out.

"Ow who the hell put that table there ?" Jake yelled out rubbing his shin which he had hit on a end table trying to feel his way around in the dark.

"Jakie I said the same thing about the stupid wall." Val laughed at him even though she knew he was still pissed at her.

"Yeah the stupid furniture does tend to get in the way when you're trying to sneak back into the house." Jake replied looking at her pointedly.

Coop chuckled at his son "Junior you know that you don't have to sneak back in the house anymore. You are a grown man." he pointed out as Jake sat in a chair and began taking his shoes off.

Jake groaned as he tried to pull his shoe off Val looked over and saw that he had a shiner under his left eye. "Jakie did Prue give you the shiner ?" she asked amused.

Jake shook his head "Don't mention that name to me right now I don't like our older sister very much at the moment. The shiner I got from Liz and the dislocated finger I got from B." he explained holding his left hand up he showed that his finger was bent at an odd angle.

"What did Ladybug do this time ?" Phoebe asked sighing.

"She sent Wyatt and Liz down memory lane and then she thought it would be a good idea to get Henry and B back together so she summoned Oriana." Jake explained he really had to learn to tell his sister no.

"Excuse me she did what ?" Coop asked a look of disbelief on his face his daughter did not know when to quit.

"She summoned Oriana I'm not joking it wasn't funny I'm not a big fan of seeing Henry cry. She's my sister and therefore there is guilt by relation I get blamed too. Lilly won't even talk to me right now." Jake shook his head and closed his eyes.

Penny walked over to him and handed him an ice pack she had heard him come in "Here Jakie put this on your finger it will make it feel better."

Jake pulled her down on his lap and hugged her to him "Val, Pen I'm sorry about earlier I was being an ass I love you both so much. But I really hope that is a boy who will know how to say no when asked to do stupid things." he pointed to Phoebe's still flat stomach.

Phoebe smiled at him "You want me to talk to your sister ?" she asked.

Jake shook his head no and pushed Penny off of his lap "No I don't mom I'm going to bed it's been a long day." he said leaning over to kiss her on the cheek.

"If you're sure go to bed baby you're aftershave is making me sick." Phoebe joked swatting him on the butt as he went.

Penny and Val shared a look "No Val we're staying out of it I don't want them mad at me." Penny shook her head she knew what her sister was thinking.

Val stuck her bottom lip out "Fine but if this goes on for too long we're doing something." she warned her youngest sister.

Penny grabbed her by the arm and started leading her down the hall to their bedrooms. "And then you say you're not like Prue." she rolled her eyes and stalked off to her bedroom before Val could reply.

"Coop something needs to be done about your oldest daughter." Phoebe said to her husband.

Coop scoffed "She gets it from her mother I'm with little Coop I hope this one is a boy." he wrapped his arms around her and hearted her to their bedroom before she could hit him.


"Paige please sit down and relax if there was anything wrong with the girls you would be able to sense it." Henry pleaded with his wife her pacing was driving him insane.

Paige whirled on her heel and gave him a dirty look "I expect things like this out of your daughter but not out of my daughter." she ranted.

"Paige I'm sure that they are fine they probably went to a party and lost track of time and they will be home any minute." He reasoned with her.

"Henry, Charlie doesn't go to parties and if she does she never stays out this late. Carly on the other hand this is typical for her I called Jason and he hasn't seen her." Paige retorted.

Henry got up and wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her still for his sanity. "Honey those girls are both fine and when they get home I'm not letting them out of my sight." he assured her.

Paige smiled up at him "Your daughter drug my daughter into this because her and my son are complete angels they do nothing wrong." she informed him.

Henry rolled his eyes "Of course they are dear that is why your son was always getting hurt and every other word out of your daughter's mouth is a profanity." he agreed shaking his head.

Carly and Patty were tiptoeing through the hall to the stairs at about this time and they were so focused on getting upstairs that they didn't even notice their parents. That was until they heard someone clear their throat behind them. "Carly I told you not to walk so loud this is all your fault." Patty informed her sister as she walked into the living room.

"Charlie you're not blaming this all on me you're the one who wouldn't just orb up to your room like I said." Carly protested following behind her sister.

Paige was standing there with her hands on her hips and Henry had has arms folded over his chest. "You two girls have a little bit of explaining to do just tell me the truth and I won't be mad." Paige said that was all she asked.

"Ok there was a demon that we had to go after we got a little tied up but don't worry we called Henry for help and it's all taken care of now." Patty explained she didn't need Carly running her smart ass mouth she would only get them into trouble.

"You guys went after a demon without telling anyone ?" Henry asked his twins incredulously he knew they had lost their minds.

Carly sighed "Please spare us dad Junior already went on and on about how stupid it was we don't need to hear it from you too." she said somewhat bored with the whole topic.

"Don't do that ever again I'm glad that you trust your brother enough to go to him when you have a problem. Next time tell someone what you're doing before you have a problem." Paige said staring each one of them down.

"Yes mom." they said in unison trying hard not to roll their eyes.

"Just out of curiosity was it just the two of you or did you have help ?" Henry asked he knew that his girls would never have done this without their cousins.

"It was us the girls Ricky and Em." Patty said she had learned her lesson about lying.

Paige smirked at the two of them "Your Aunt Piper is going to kill you guys."

"Ugh mom I know don't remind us we already had to listen to Wyatt bitch and moan at us." Carly huffed they were in deep shit and she knew it.

Henry shook his head "Just go to bed you two it's late." he pointed to the steps and they didn't waste time going. He smiled down at Paige "Piper is going to kill you too for letting them off the hook." he informed her.

Paige shrugged "She knows how I am and she hasn't been much better with Mel these days I think being young again has mellowed her."

"Yeah me too so much that I have a couple of ideas about what we can do right now." Henry wiggled his eyebrows suggestively before he picked Paige up in his arms and carried her to their bedroom.


"Prue are you trying to get your cousins to kill you ?" Chuck asked her as he stood at his stove making them eggs about the only thing he could be trusted to cook.

Prue sat on one of the stools at his counter "No I just thought that if I couldn't get Wyatt and Liz together at least Hank and B deserved to be happy I know it was drastic but they left me with no other choice. Besides that Peanut asked me to do it." she defended herself.

"Prue honey I know you want to help but sometimes you have to learn when to stay out of it. And if you want to do this that is fine but you should leave Coop out of it he does more than enough on his own." Chuck sighed as he scrambled the eggs he was cooking.

"You know as well as I do that Hank and B are both too stubborn they would both avoid talking about it until one of them moved on with the wrong person." Prue defended herself she had been right Henry hadn't even really been mad at her. It was Wyatt who once again made her leave the apartment for the night.

"Look it wasn't easy on me seeing Oriana again I can't imagine what it did to Henry and B. I'm sure when Chris asked you to help that wasn't what he had in mind." Chuck replied putting their food on plates.

Prue rolled her eyes "Chip he just told me to do something to fix that situation so I did I couldn't exactly send the two of them down memory lane so I did that." she informed him her hands on her hips.

"I love you and I like having a girlfriend so I really wish you wouldn't piss everyone off they are going to kill you." Chuck sighed exasperated with her and the whole mess with Wyatt and Liz.

"I love you too Chip I just can't help myself sometimes they make it too easy for me to turn down some of the things I do." Prue smiled sweetly at him and she knew he would drop the subject.

"But I think that maybe you should leave Coop alone to get in trouble on his own now you have Lilly not talking to him." Chuck said he knew if he pressed the matter anymore than that she would get pissed off at him.

"So how do you think things are going with Wyatt and Liz ?" Prue asked ignoring his comment.

"I think that maybe you should stop worrying about that relationship so much and show your boy here a little love." Chuck gave her a sad puppy dog face.

"Oh Chip have I been neglecting you lately ?" Prue asked and he nodded his head and stuck out his bottom lip. "Here let me fix that right now." she leaned over the counter and kissed him. He broke their kiss long enough to pick her up and carry her to the couch.


Henry let out a long loud sigh when he heard the knock on his bedroom door. "Come in." he yelled in a gruff tone. He was sitting on his bed with a cardboard box full of things that he never wanted to look at ever again but he knew that he was going to have to just to see something for himself.

"I thought that B would have stayed over with you after that display the two of you put on earlier." Chris said as he sat down in the desk chair that was in the room.

Henry shook his head "No she said she needed time to think and I don't blame her you know seeing her was pretty rough on me too." he admitted.

Chris slapped him on the arm " I know it was but at least you know that she doesn't mind you and B being together." he replied when he had asked Prue to do something about the two of them that was not what he meant.

"Yeah remind me to thank Prue for that if it wasn't for her I would have never had the nerve to ask B to give it one more shot. She means well she just needs to know when she is crossing the line. This time though she didn't cross the line I needed to hear that from her." Henry retorted he wasn't mad at Prue and neither was Bianca really.

"Please don't thank Prue she will only get worse Wyatt will throw her out of here for good." Chris joked.

"Well in that case I will just thank you I know that you're the one who told her to help out. Prue wouldn't dream of trying that with me and B unless someone told her to she does have some good sense." he looked his cousin in the eyes and they came to an understanding about what had happened.

"Don't mention it ever Wyatt will kill me if he finds out I'm encouraging her to do these things." Chris laughed.

"Hey you got it man and I owe you one." he said sincerely.

"No problem that's what unofficial big brothers are for." Chris assured him. "You gonna look in that box or not ?" he asked.

For an answer Henry picked up the box and dumped the contents out on his bed. He found an envelope with his name on it and he opened it. "I'll be damned she really was divorcing me Chris it says so right here." he tossed the document to his cousin.

"Look on the bright side at least you didn't have to go through a divorce and you got her blessing." Chris joked with him.

"Yeah now if only B comes around I will be in good shape." Henry grinned he was going to try not to dwell on the past anymore.


Wyatt huffed in exasperation when he heard on knock on the front door he was turning off all the lights and getting ready to go to bed. He had just gotten rid of everyone and he was tired. He stalked to the door and pulled it open he was going to say something smart assed until he saw Liz standing there in her pajamas. "Lizzie what's wrong ? I just took you home not long ago." he asked not sure how she had gotten back there but then he remembered she did have a transportation potion.

"I couldn't sleep Wy." Liz answered him simply she hadn't tried to sleep yet she knew she wouldn't be able to unless she settled something with him first.

"Why not Lizzie ?" Wyatt asked he didn't mind her staying he just wished she would tell him what she really wanted.

"I had to find something out first Wy." Liz replied and shocking him more than he knew she could she reached up and kissed him on the lips very passionately and he returned the kiss. "I had to know if that was real or if it was just our empathy. And from where I stand right now it was pretty damn real those feelings I felt." she said when she had pulled away from him.

"Lizzie just get in here there is no way I'm letting you go home now." Wyatt brushed some of her hair out of her face and pulled her closer to him before he bent down and kissed her again. He skillfully picked her up and carried her to his bedroom never once taking his lips off of hers.
