First a thank you to my reviewers:

TaintedDarkInuShemeeko - Good job on Melinda's daughter. That is exactly right. As to the other one, she actually is in "Pardon My Past", just no name, which means if I use her I have to name her. The person writing the second entry is Grams' mom, P. Baxter Johnson. I haven't decided what I'm going to have that particular "P" stand for, so I left it blank. The Phoebe she refers to is P. Bowen. While, it's not canon there is a general fanon that P. Bowen was named Phoebe and P. Russel is named Pearl. Not everyone who uses them uses that, but I chose to go ahead since the reasoning was sound. However I don't like the two fanon names I have seen for P. Baxter Johnson and neither makes enough sense to go ahead with them. In a previous story you met one of P. Bowen's descendants, a little girl named Pansy who had the ability to put molecules back together. You will be seeing her again in a later episode along with her mom and another of Phoebe Bowen's great-great-granddaughters.

soraya - Thank you. Hope you enjoy this next chapter.

Piper finally gets a call back from one of her sisters. And Wyatt learns an odd fact about his best friend. Sorry I got busy with another story.

Chapter Nine – Lessons Seth Style

Piper had decided to try making some potions to hopefully use on the demon when they found him. She refused to believe that they wouldn't find him, especially now that two of Phoebe's girls were missing. She was not going to be forced to tell her baby sister than she'd lost two of her children when they finally found her.

Seth shimmered in. Hope saw him first and squealed. "Seth!" She ran the few steps to him and hugged him tight. "I heard you were back. Are you going to start my lessons, again?"

Wyatt looked at his best friend suspiciously. "What are you teaching my cousin?"

Seth rolled his eyes. "Not much. Apparently your cousin here stinks at Dodge Ball and she thinks throwing large rubber balls at her counts as lessons."

Wyatt stared at him for and second and then snorted. "Right. Weird."

"I'm serious," Seth protested.

"I imagine so," Wyatt granted. "It's still weird. Find anything useful. We've ID the demon."

"Well, you topped me in that," Seth admitted. "I still can't get anyone to say a name. What's the demon called?"

"James Thomas," Wyatt informed him with a straight face, ignoring the sound of the phone ringing.

Seth frowned and looked at him. "I can't tell. You are pulling my leg, right?"

Wyatt shook his head. "Not in the least. As Kevin said, he used to be human. That was his name. As you mentioned he was injured before. We have a brief statement from one of our ancestors, presumably the ones you were referring to, stating that fact. One of them was injured, too. When he was injured the children he captured were briefly able to escape. Somewhere in the hundreds, but she wasn't really sure how many."

Piper returned to the room with a phone in hand. "Chris, watch the potion on the stove."

"But, what is it?" Chris protested.

"Just make sure it doesn't boil over," Piper instructed him. "Paige called back." Once Chris was headed toward the kitchen Piper put the phone back to her ear. "Sorry about that."

"What's going on?" Paige asked on the other end. "Your message sounded ominous."

"A demon is kidnapping magical children," Piper informed her as she walked toward the foyer. "Remember Tyler, the firestarter we helped years ago?"

Paige smiled remembering the troubled teen. "Yeah, I remember him."

"He's here," Piper informed her, "in the manor, with his wife and one of his four children. The other three have vanished. And now, Hope is here, telling us that this demon has taken her sisters as well. I got a call from Darryl earlier."

"Darryl?" Paige gasped in surprise.

Piper nodded. "There have been dozens of kidnappings in the last day that appear to be supernatural in origin. He felt he couldn't just ignore that and called here."

"I hope he doesn't just shut down the line of communication, again," Paige commented. "So these kids are because of the same demon?"

"Most likely," Piper agreed. "I told him about Prue and Andy and gave him there number. I need to call to make sure he got through to them, but I'm hoping that they can help him from that end."

"Is he in Boston?" Paige asked, again, surprised.

"Chicago, but Darryl and Andy used to be partners, so I thought he'd like to work with Andy, again."

"And they'll get there, how?"

"If they need help with that, I figure they'll call. Can you come over?"

"Sure, but I need to make sure my kids are all safe first."

"Bring them with you," Piper urged her.

"We'll see," Paige hedged. "I think maybe I'll send them to Prue, to see if she can use help over there."

"Well, before you do that, let me get Wyatt on the phone, so he can update you. I missed a bit of what's going on." Piper smiled a little. "Tyler will be glad to see you."

"It will be good to see him, too," Paige agreed. "It's nice to know the things we did had a long lasting effect."

In the next chapter Paige has to decide what to do with her kids and they aren't exactly in agreement on the topic.
