Chapter 9

As soon as Cristina spotted them, she sat upright and tried to get their attention. Unfortunately, she didn't just get their attention, she got the Demons also. "Well, well, well" the demon said, not surprised that they showed up. "See Cristina?" He glances back at Cristina "I told you they would come straight to me". The demon laughs viciously. "Look, we don't want to fight, we just want the girl" Paige said. "Well, life's not that simple babe" The demon replied. "Did he just call me babe?" Paige said, confused. "Stick to the plan" Piper hissed back at her. "Fine" Paige said a little hurt. "I need her, just like you do" the demon said turning to Cristina "I'm not stupid, and I know who she is" "Well then you obviously are stupid." Phoebe said reaching into her bag, and pulling out a piece of paper. Phoebe recited a spell underneath her breath as the demon just stood their smiling grievously. Just then a light shined on Cristina, and moved over to Phoebe, the demon gasped and tried to rush over to grab the light, but his hands went right through it. "Bitch" the demon snarled as he got up, and prepared to charge at Phoebe. Piper moved behind of Phoebe and stood still. Just then the demon charmed at Phoebe a the split second, leaped out of the way, and put Piper in the path of his charged. And before the demon realized it, he was on the ground unconscious, and Piper was looking down at him, and grinning with a brick in her hand. "Paige orb Cristina over here, and put baby boy over here into the chair" Phoebe said approaching the demon. Paige closed her eyes, and lights glimmered in front of both Cristina, and the demon. Soon enough, Cristina was on the ground, and the demon was in Cristina's place, tied up in the chair. "Well, that wasn't so hard" Paige said, proud of herself. Phoebe called for Leo and as she orbed in, she noticed a trickle of blood coming form Cristina's head. "Piper, try to do with out so much force next time" Phoebe said, wiping the hair from Cristina's face. "Leo, come here!" Phoebe called, and soon, Leo was orbed in right next to the right of her. Orb her to the house ok?" Phoebe asked, "We'll take the car, come on Paige" Phoebe said as Leo bent over and orbed Cristina away from them, and as Piper, herself, and Paige walked back to the car.

As Cristina awoke, she could feel her temples pulsating with pain. Cristina moaned slightly as he tried to sit up. "Shhh" Phoebe said as she pushed Cristina down slowly back into the bed. "Where am i?" Cristina asked with obvious confusion. "You're back home hun, you're back home" Phoebe said, "Is you head ok?" Phoebe asked Cristina. "There is a bump there" Cristina replied. "Sorry, but we had to at least knock him unconscious" Phoebe said apologizing to Cristina. "You know" Cristina cautioned "If I'm awake, that probably means he is also." "That's alright, we don't need to worry about him for now" Phoebe said. "I'll be right back ok?" Phoebe said heading out the door. "Phoebe?" Cristina asked softly. "Yes?" Phoebe replied turning to Cristina. "You took the baby didn't you?" Cristina said, looking at her hands in her lap. "We had to make sure it would be safe" Phoebe said waking back towards the bed, and placing her hands around Cristina's. "I know" Cristina said "I could feel it moving away from me, and I feel horrible." Cristina said softly and slowly. "Why is that?" Phoebe asked her, "You didn't do anything wrong sweets" "Instead of feeling scared, I felt relieved, to finally know that I was regular again, not...well you know" Cristina said. "You're 15, and you're having a baby, you have every right to feel what ever you feel" Phoebe said to Cristina. "I guess" Cristina said. "And I know" Phoebe said. "Now I'll go get an ice pack for your head ok?" Cristina nodded her head. "Hey" Leo said as he came into the room to see if Cristina was ok. "hi" Cristina replied softly, rubbing her temples. "Are you ok?" Leo asked. "Sorry I couldn't heal you head, 'they' didn't want me to" "Who are 'they'?" Cristina asked, curiously. "The Elders..." Leo said confused, assuming that she knew about the Elders. "Oh" Cristina said, still curious, but not wanting to sound stupid. "Are you sure that you are ok?" Leo asked her again, seeing how she hadn't answered him the first time. "I'm fine" Cristina said, not making eye contact. "Ok" Leo said walking out of the room quietly. Just then a demon shimmered behind her, and a blade of ice sheered through her back, as she froze in pain, just then she blacked out.

"Leo?" Phoebe screamed as she dropped the ice to the floor with a thud. "What is it Phoebe?" Leo said as she orbed into the room. "She's...she's..." Phoebe stuttered. Leo took a glance at Cristina and immediately began to heal her. "Phoebe, we have to take her to the hospital." Leo said "They won't let me heal her" "Friggen bastards..." Phoebe said loudly "Orb her down stairs and have Pip start up the car, I think I'm going to have a little talk with baby boy"
