Ah I guess I shouldn't have switched my original pen name. I wish you'd all review and let me know what you think!

K-10

A knock at the door caused both girls to jump, "Jackson! Jayda!" Pipers voice could be heard from the other side of the door, "Is everything okay in there?"

"Girls?" Phoebe sounded immediately after, "Open this door."

Brooke ran a shaking hand through her long dark brown hair as she whirled around to look at her cousin, "What do we do?" she asked.

"I-" Jayda began.

"What do we do?" Brooke ground out.

"I don't know." Jayda whispered.

"Common guys." Leo's voice pleaded from the other side of the door.

"Don't make me break down this door." Cole added.

Jayda quickly wiped her eyes and took a deep breath, "We tell them it's just us." She told her cousin, "That Maya and Jack went out for a bit."

"But wh-" Brooke began but didn't have a chance to finish her sentence when the door was kicked down.

Cole led the way into the room having kicked down the door, "What the hell is going on in here?" he demanded slightly out of breath as the other adults rushed into the room.

"Where are Jackson and Maya?" Piper asked noticing the absence of the two eldest cousins.

"They-they left." Jayda answered, it wasn't a complete lie.

"Left." Piper repeated, "Left where?"

Jayda shrugged, "How should I know." That wasn't a lie at all.

"When did they leave?" Phoebe asked.

"Awhile ago." Jayda answered, sounding more sure of herself with every breath.

Phoebe looked between the girls, "What happened in here?"

Jayda looked at Brooke, "We had a fight." Brooke answered.

"About what?" Phoebe eyed her up.

"Oh you know, girl stuff." Brooke replied. "Where are Bryn and the others?" she tried to look around her grandparents to see into the hall.

"Upstairs with Paige and Henry, why?" Phoebe replied suspiciously.

Brooke shrugged, "Just wondering."

"When are Jackson and Maya going to be back?" Piper questioned.

Jayda narrowed her eyes, "Like he tells me anything." She bit out before storming from the room.

"Jayda! Hey!" Piper called after her, "I'm talking to you!" only the slamming of the door answered her.

"Um…can I go too?" Brooke asked and Phoebe sighed as she scooted out of the room.

Phoebe looked at Piper, "They're lying."

"I know." Piper replied through ground teeth, "But why?"

"Hey." Brooke caught up with Jayda and grabbed her arm, but Jayda ignored her, "Hey!"

Jayda shrugged her off before turning to glare at her, "What?" her tone was icy and Brooke was taken aback by just how different her cousin seemed.

"What are we going to do?" Brooke asked.

"What do you mean what are we going to do?" Jayda asked casually as she adjusted the collar of her leather jacket.

Brooke looked around and lowered her voice, "About Maya and Jack." She hissed, "What are we going to do?"

"We are going to do nothing." Jayda replied.

"What?"

"I don't have time for this." Jayda replied, "I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?" Brooke demanded.

"Hopefully" Jayda flashed a fake smile, "to find a stiff drink." She moved to leave but Brooke grabbed her arm and jerked it fluidly in place.

"They could be in danger." Brooke hissed angrily.

"Not my problem." Jayda growled as she yanked her arm back.

Brooke's eyes widened in disbelief before narrowing in anger, "Not your problem?" she repeated under her breath before her voice rose once again. "Screw you Jayda. Ten minutes ago you were crying like a baby and now your tough shit?" she shook her head, "All you care about is yourself so screw you!"

"They were here and now they're gone." Jayda shrugged, "Crisis averted." She paused with her hand on the door handle, "Besides, even if I wanted to, there's nothing we can do." And with that she left shutting the door closed behind her, as she headed down the front steps and jumped into the car she and her brother shared.

Jayda rested her head on the steering wheel and let the tears fall.

"Something isn't right. Jackson wouldn't just leave." Piper swung the crystal over a map of the city. "And even if he did, why isn't the crystal picking up their location."

"Maybe they're in an area that's blocked off from magic." Paige suggested.

"Or maybe the demons figured out who they are and kidnapped them." Cole suggested.

"No." Piper replied.

"Maybe they aren't even on this plane." Leo offered.

"Or maybe-" Phoebe began.

"I know what you're going to say." Piper cut her off, "And we've already discussed it, it's not possible."

"But what if it is." Phoebe argued, "What if somehow, after all these years, bringing them back together, just, unbound their magic."

"It's not possible." Piper repeated as she concentrated on her crystal, "We did that spell ourselves." After a moment she looked up at Leo, "I mean, it's not possible, right Leo?"

Leo fidgeted under her gaze, hands shoved into his pockets as her shrugged, "I don't know." He replied, "You tell me, after all these years, do you really think anything is impossible?"

Piper looked at her youngest sister, "I can't believe I'm saying this but Paige, can you go check with the elders?"

Paige nodded, as she pecked Henry on the cheek, "Keep the kids out of trouble." She told him before disappearing in a flurry of orbs.

"Sure thing toots." Henry replied into thin air.

"I should go down below and see what I can find out." Cole spoke up.

Phoebe's frown deepened as she pulled him down into a kiss, "Be careful." She told him as she cupped his face.

Cole gave her a lopsided grin, "Aren't I always?"

Phoebe whacked him, "I'm serious Cole." She told him.

"I know. I know." He replied as he ducked out of the way of another incoming swat before swooping down to give her another kiss, "I love you."

"I love you." Phoebe replied before he shimmered out.

Phoebe kept her eyes closed a moment before she let a sigh escape, "I guess I should check the book, huh?"

Piper pursed her lips and nodded as she brushed her hair away from her face without looking up.

"I'll go check on the kids." Henry offered as Piper looked up and gave him an appreciative smile.

"Thanks."

"It's been awhile but I remember the routine." He replied with a smirk before disappearing down the stairs.

"I'll go with him." Leo offered, "Maybe I can talk to Jayda and Brooke and convince them to tell me what really happened." Piper nodded.

Phoebe flipped through a few pages of the book, before looking up at Piper. Even though it had been more than fifteen years since she had regularly practiced it was a ritual they all knew well. And it was one they would become more familiar with again than anyone of the sister would care to admit.

"Where are we?" Jackson asked as he stumbled over a rock in the darkness.

"Best guess?" Maya offered, Jackson nodded, "We're in the Underworld."

"You have got to be kidding me." Jackson ran a hand through his hair, "How?"

"I guess you were the missing link after all." Maya shrugged.

"What missing link!" Jackson demanded, "And what were you thinking bringing me here?"

"I did not bring you here." Maya snapped, "At least, not intentionally."

"Then how the hell did we get here?" Jackson hissed.

"Our magic must have somehow combined and brought us here." Maya replied.

"Our magic? Okay. Back up. I am not magical." Jackson told her.

"Obviously you are." Maya replied as she began walking into the darkness.

Jackson groaned, "Where are you going?" he hissed, lowering his voice. From the little he had heard about the Underworld, he knew it was not a good place to be, "You have to be careful down here."

"Oh would you relax."

"Relax?" Jackson stressed, "Are you freaking kidding me?"

Maya spun on her heal, "What? Wittle Jackson wants to go home?"

Jackson nodded, "Actually yes. We shouldn't be here."

Maya had turned around and once again started walking in the opposite direction, "See, that's where you're wrong." Maya replied, "I think this is exactly where we're supposed to be."
