lissysue85: Yeah, I always had a weird feeling about him too. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the Review!

x-x-Dreamer'93-x-x: Lol. I'm glad you're liking it! Don't worry, you're gonna find out what she's hiding in the next chapter, and one of Chris' secrets as well. He is. I'm glad you're enjoying! Thanks for the Review!

CharmingKelsey16: Yeah, classes are sometimes pretty hectic. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the Review!

Melinda Wyatt Charmed: All I'm gonna tell you about that is that he will find out, it'll come out in the next chapter along with one of Chris' secrets. She is smart, her and Chris both are, but she does kinda have an advantage on knowing how Gideon felt since she's an empath. She's also just suspicious with trust issues, so that might have something to do with it too. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the Review!

lizardmomma: Thank you, I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the Review!

A/N: OK, here's the next chapter, I know it's a little shorter, but the next one will probably be a little longer so it'll even out. Well, here it is. Enjoy!


Confrontations

Mel had orbed into the magic school library, in case people were still up she could just say she was looking something up. However, the halls were deserted, she couldn't even hear anybody. Mel hadn't really expected to see anyone due to the late hour, but it never hurt to be cautious. After walking down the halls for a couple minutes she finally found Gideon's office.

Mel knocked lightly a couple times before determining there was no one in there. The door was locked, but she had it picked in a couple seconds. She slowly opened the door, looking around cautiously, taking in her surroundings. Mel shut the door behind her, and began searching the office.

After about fifteen minutes of searching, Mel still hadn't found anything useful. She was going through a stack of papers on his desk when she felt the air in the room shift. She turned around in time to be thrown against the wall by an invisible force, that was also clutching her throat.

"Hello Gideon," she said to the invisible figure in front of her.

"Smart little witch, aren't you?" he teased, becoming visible again. His hand was still clutched around her throat as he asked, "So, who are you really?"

"Well, everyone says me and my brother look like our mom, but that we have our father's eyes. Personally, I'm not so sure," Mel replied sarcastically, gasping for breaths.

"You're Piper and Leo's daughter," Gideon stated, realization washing over his face. "That's why you're here, to help Chris save Wyatt."

Gideon had been too busy putting the pieces together he hadn't noticed Mel looked unconscious. He was snapped back to reality when he heard clapping behind him. He turned around to find another Mel standing behind him with an amused, yet cocky, smirk on her face.

"Bravo, now guess what you get," the second Mel taunted. Before Gideon could open his mouth, she sucker punched him.

Gideon fell to the ground and Mel's astral projection disappeared and the real Mel woke up. She raised her hands to instinctively blow him up, but he was faster. Gideon waved his hand and Mel was engulfed in purple orbs.

Before she knew what had happened, Mel found herself in the underworld. She was in a cave, surrounded by about ten demons. Mel's reflexes kicked in and she took out five in less than a minute, blowing them into oblivion. The rest all readied their fireballs.

"Chris!" Mel called as they released the fireballs.

Mel quickly tk'd them back, taking out another two demons, who hadn't managed to jump out of the way. She shimmered behind them, sending fireballs at two of them when they didn't blow up. The last one had shimmered off and before she knew it threw an energy ball her way. Mel didn't have time to get out of the way, and Chris orbed in just in time to see it hit her in the shoulder. The demon smiled, and Chris immediately flicked his hands, blowing up the demon.

"Mel, are you okay?" Chris asked, running over to his sister.

"Just peachy," Mel retorted, sitting up.

"Come on, let's get out of here," Chris said, placing a hand on her uninjured shoulder, and orbing them out.

*****

"So what happened? How'd they take you by surprise like that?" Paige asked.

"Thanks," Mel muttered to Leo, who just finished healing her shoulder.

"No problem," he smiled back.

"What were you doing down there anyway?" Phoebe asked.

Mel looked over to Chris. He knew what she wanted to do so he held out his hand. When Mel grabbed his hand, Chris had a glazed over look in his eyes for a few seconds. When he looked back at Mel he actually looked surprised.

'I don't believe it...'

'I know, I was a little surprised myself.'

"Hey you two, talk to us too," Phoebe said, getting their attention. "What's going on?" Phoebe, Paige, and Leo all looked to Chris and Mel for an answer.

'Should we tell them yet?'

'Will they believe us?'

'I guess there's only one way to find out.'

'I guess so.' "OK, this might be a little hard to believe, but-"

"I got this Chris," Mel said, walking over to Phoebe and Paige. "They won't believe us unless we show them. Take my hand," she told the two sisters. Phoebe and Paige both grabbed a hand, and got a glazed over look. After a few seconds they looked at Mel and Chris.

"Was that for real?" Paige asked incredulously.

"Why would he do that?" Phoebe questioned.

"Yes, it was real," Mel told Paige.

"We're not sure why," Chris informed Phoebe.

"What are you guys talking about?" Leo asked, feeling a little left out.

"We saw what happened tonight," Paige told him, joining Phoebe on the couch.

"What I don't get is why. Why would he want to get rid of you?" Phoebe asked, looking up at Mel. "Unless..."

"Unless he's the one after Wyatt," Mel finished. Leo looked stunned, Phoebe and Paige were deep in thought.

"You know who's after Wyatt? Who?" Leo asked quickly. Chris and Mel shared an apprehensive glance at each other.

"You're not gonna like it," Paige told him.

"Who?" Leo asked again, impatiently. Mel exhaled and grabbed his hand. When Leo looked back up he shook his head. "Why would he do that? It must be some mistake. I'll go talk to him."

And before the others could stop him Leo orbed out. Phoebe, Paige, Chris, and Mel all looked at each other warily.

"So what do we do now?" Phoebe asked.

"We should get Piper out of magic school," Paige said. "If she's there, then Gideon has easy access to Wyatt. We can protect her here," she continued firmly. The others nodded.

"We'll go get her," Chris told them, grabbing Mel's arm and orbing to magic school.

*****

"Oh my God...Oh my God...Why would he...Oh poor Leo...I can't believe it...Oh my God..." Piper was muttering, more to herself than Mel and Chris, who were helping her pack.

"Is this everything?" Chris asked, snapping Piper out of her daze.

"Yeah, I think so. Let me just grab Wyatt."

Chris and Mel got the bags together, ready to orb when Piper got back. Leo walked in about the same time as Piper returned carrying Wyatt.

"I couldn't find him, but I'm- What's going on?" Leo asked, noticing the bags. Chris and Mel looked uncomfortable, but Piper walked over to Leo.

"I'm sorry honey, I know this must be tough on you," she soothed. Piper sighed and walked over to Chris and Mel. "Me and Wyatt are moving back to the manor. Before you say it, we'll make it safe, but I'm not going to put Wyatt at further risk when it can be avoided."

"But Piper, magic school is the safest place for you and Wyatt," Leo tried to reason.

"Not with Gideon," Piper said calmly, yet firm. "Come on," she said to her kids. "Leo, we can talk about it more at the house, that's where we'll be." And with that Leo was left staring at the spot where his wife/ex-wife and kids had been standing.
