Chapter 7
Cooperation
"Wait, wait, wait!" Piper yelled "We're supposed to believe you! We raised you to help us get Kara back and you twisted what we said and swanned off to Queen it up over the Underworld. She's your sister."
Piper raised her hands "Hey! Look I'm sorry, I got a little lost that's all. I do want to help her, I just didn't... I didn't know her when you first raised me. I do now and I want to help." Eve eyeballed Piper warily "You didn't put your hands down!"
"That's because I don't believe you and the only reason I haven't done anything yet is because I can't decide weather to freeze you and torture you to find out were your sister is or just to blow you up."
Chris entered the room then having heard his mother talking to someone else.
His eyes were bright as he entered the room, but they hardened as soon as he saw who his Mom was talking to.
"Eve." His voice was flat and hard.
"How did you know it was me?"
"You're only identical on the outside. I love her. I can feel it when she's near me, my skin hums when she's around. You, the only feeling I get is my skin crawling. Now my Mom was nice enough not to kill you, I'm not feeling so nice. It's been a week since I saw my girl and that week has made me a little..."
"...Psychotic" Wyatt chipped as he wandered into the living room. He eyed Eve with interest "So, you're Kara's evil twin, huh?"
"That would be me. Except I'm really not so sure that I'm evil any more... but we'll deal with that particular issue later. Look, can you follow me if I shimmer?"
"Why should we follow you?"
"Are you any closer to finding her on your own?"
Chris growled, unwilling to admit that they needed the she demons aid.
"She misses you and she needs you and I need her, she knows me better than I do and I need her help to stay strong."
"So you're doing this because you need her?"
"No...Yes...I can't let them hurt her any more."
Chris lurched forward "They hurt her?"
Wyatt held him back "Chris we knew they probably would have hurt her."
Chris shook his elder brother off.
"It gets worse than that..."
"Worse, how the hell can it be worse than that" Chris demanded "she's been kidnapped by demons, your demons, we've been made idiots out of, we've used everything we've got and we haven't been able to find her and I'm... I'm afraid we'll never get her back. So how can it be worse."
"They're keeping her, they're going to poison her with evil and then they're going to kill her. That's how!"
Piper frowned and motioned to Wyatt to take Chris out of the room, which he managed to do, but it took a lot of persuasion and more than a little dragging."
"Why?"
"To keep the prophecy from coming to pass, or at least turning to evil."
"The prophecy? The Rising? She's..."
"...Pregnant...yes..."
"And stopping it coming to pass would involve killing my grandchild?"
Eve breathed in, to correct Piper, but decided to allow her sister that piece of news, while Piper had sent Chris away because she wanted Kara to be able to tell him herself. Piper would tell him if... perhaps she would tell him anyway. She didn't know what she would tell her youngest son if the woman he loved and wanted to marry and was, unbeknown to him was carrying his child, died, or turned evil. She didn't want to think about it.
She shut her eyes for a moment and then made up her mind. She opened her eyes, the eyes of the head of the Haliwell family and called out.
"Wyatt, Chris, call your aunts, your sister, your father, your uncles, your cousins, any family member that can help us. And Chris cap your temper you're going to need to be in control of your powers if this is going to work. Wyatt find the spell."
"What's going on?"
"First you're going to tell me what you want out of this?"
"I want out. I want to get this done and then for you to strip my powers. I don't want to be a demon any more. I want a life. Then what?"
"We're going to saddle up!"
