Author's Note: Here are answers to the questions posted:

ElleloveMax: 1. 'When did Paige die?' Paige died in the first episode that Chris showed up in (the one with the Titans). He said that in his future Paige died that day instead of being turned to stone, which later in the episode they got her out of. 2. 'Couldn't her and her boyfriend have been together and had a baby?' That episode was before she ever met Richard and she didn't have a boyfriend at the time so, no, there are no children of Paige in Chris and Risa's future but that doesn't mean that there won't be now because she didn't die. Because of the rules of time travel, Chris and Risa's memories don't change so they know nothing of Paige's children.  

Captainess Kay Sparrow: 'Did I see I Dream of Phoebe?' Yes and I thought it was as funny as you did when Piper and Leo 'slept' together! Oh, and I loved that you said ciao. My mom is half Italian so I'm used to hearing that :)

Gate Traveling Neila: 'In this story, is Chris Piper's child?' Yes, Chris is Piper and Leo's second son. Just like on the show.

Uta: 'Why do you have to keep the love in the family? Share Chris.' I have said this before but I don't mind repeating it. There is a specific reason for the cousin thing. I just haven't revealed it yet in the story. IT IS NOT RANDOM. Just have patience :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing….well I do own a few things *riffles through purse and pulls out a piece of gum and two pennies* but none of the Charmed Characters except my own creations being: Priscilla, Brennan, Petra, and Pandora. Most of the characters will probably be in the sequel instead of this installment. Please don't steal them. They like it here with me. :)

Chapter Ten

Back at the Manor, Chris stood by the window near Priscilla's bed waiting for her to wake up. He couldn't understand why she kept risking herself this way. That was his job. And then the argument before she disappeared. How could she have suffered all that for him? Why hadn't he known?!  He shook his head. Too many questions and no answers.

She shifted slightly and he was instantly by her side, "Risa? Can you hear me?"

No answer.

He sighed and went to stand back up when he saw the expression on her face. She was still unconscious but she looked as if she was in pain and panic flickered across her face. He sat down next to her in time to hear one word slip through her lips, "Don't…."

He watched in confusion for a moment until he realized she must be having a nightmare, "Risa? Wake up honey, it's just a dream. Come on, open your eyes. Please, just wake up. Risa?"

He reached out to touch her face and jerked back as an image flashed into his mind.

"What the hell?" He muttered before reaching out again, this time laying his hand on her cheek and not removing it when the images came.

Phoebe gestured frantically to the Hesperide in front of her, "She swallowed one of the scrolls!"

Paige winced, "She swallowed it?"

"Well, it was the smallest- but that's beside the point! It means that Charnaurus didn't get one! We have to get it out….."

"How?" Piper asked skeptically.

"Paige, can you orb it out?"

"I'll try." She held out her hand and ordered, "Scroll!"

With a swirl of orbs the scroll was in her hand.

"Yes!" Phoebe smiled triumphantly.

"What does it say?"

"Maybe we should wait to open until we get back to the Manor." Leo suggested.

Phoebe nodded in agreement. She wanted to get back and see how Priscilla was doing.

Leo reached out and took Piper's hand, orbing away. Paige did the same with Phoebe and they were all back at Manor.

"We should go tell Chris what we found."

"Maybe Risa's awake," Phoebe darted up the stairs ahead of them, the others following close behind.

When they caught up, they crowded into the doorway, trying to see what had stopped Phoebe.

Chris was sitting on the floor as white as a ghost, staring at Wyatt as he slept in his play pen. They had brought it into Priscilla's room before they left so Chris could watch both of them at once.

Phoebe slowly approached him, "Chris? Are you ok? What happened?" 

He didn't answer and continued to stare at Wyatt.

"Chris? Hello!!" She waved her hand in front of his face and he slowly turned to look at her.

"Get him out of here."

"Why? What happened?"

"Just get him out of here."

"Chris-"

"I said get him out of here!!!!" He yelled, sending Piper scurrying over to scoop him up.

Leo grabbed her hand and orbed them away.

Paige scowled at Chris, her hands on her hips, "What the hell is wrong with you Chris? Did something happen? What are we protecting him from?"

"Me."

Somewhere deep underground, demons of every type and level gathered.

Charnaurus stood before them, and they cowered in fear for his wrath was fully upon them all.

"I needed all three of those scrolls and I only have two! Which one of you can explain this to me?!"

The entire room was silent and this only added to his anger. A few lower level demons went up in flames at the flick of his wrist, the others fearing that they might be next.

"I want you to find that other scroll no matter the cost!"

They all remained still.

He growled, "GO!!"

They shimmered away leaving Charnaurus holding the two scrolls, their seals broken.

He glanced toward the shadows to his left and spat, "Find them. I want them dead within the hour."

***

Richard stood in front of the closet full of magic his family had accumulated over the years. Most of it would go to the sisters, while the more dangerous potions and spells would be destroyed.

He was about to begin going through it when he heard the familiar sound of someone shimmering behind him. On instinct he grabbed the first vial he saw and whirled about, tossing it toward the demon that had appeared behind him.

The demon howled in rage but did not burst into flames. The Potion had hit him right in the eye. The only eye he had. With a curse he disappeared leaving Richard shaken and alarmed.

He headed for the sister's manor.

On the other side of the world, Jason sat in his office preparing for his next meeting. He had been there for four hours and was beginning to feel like he needed a nap but he hadn't finished yet. Phoebe kept popping into his mind at the most inopportune moments and he couldn't concentrate. There was something that she wasn't telling him and it was driving him crazy. He knew she would tell him when she was ready but that didn't mean he wasn't curious.

He was just about ready to give up and head home when to his astonishment, a man appeared out of nowhere.  Not only was that weird enough but he had only one eye.

"What the hell is go-" But he was unable to finish his sentence as the man looked him straight in the eye.

Jason collapsed onto the floor clutching his chest. It felt as if his heart was on fire. The man disappeared as quickly as he had come, leaving Jason gasping for breath and fading fast.

Phoebe was about to interrogate Chris when the door bell rang repeatedly.

Paige shot him a look that said, 'We aren't finished yet,' before heading downstairs, Phoebe close behind.

They opened the door to find a very worried and disheveled Richard. 

"A demon just attacked at the mansion."

Paige stared at him in alarm, "Are you ok?"

He nodded but his eyes betrayed his worry.

"Why don't we go and see if he's in the Book of Shadows. Did you get a good look at him?"

He nodded again, unable to speak, and they headed to the attic.

Before they were halfway up the stairs Phoebe froze.

"Phoebe?" Paige questioned.

Her eyes were as wide as saucers and she clutched at her heart, "Oh god, Jason."

"Jason? What do you mean?"

They heard footsteps running down the hall above them and Chris skidded to a halt in front of them.

"Risa's disappearing!"
