Leo felt how Chris pushed his aside.
"Chris!" Bianca shouted.
"Well, I would love to stay but I'm not really into soap opera like scenes" the demon of mind grinned. Flames consumed him and he was sucked into the underground, back into hell.
Bianca wasted no time and ran to her boyfriend.
Carefully she moved Chris' shirt up and sobbed as she saw the gaping wound the energy ball had left behind.
"Leo, heal him!" Phoebe cried out.
Leo's hands were shaking as he held them above his son's body.
Paige let out a sigh of relief when the golden glow emitted from Leo's hands only to fell a part of her being taken away when it disappeared after a few seconds.
"No" she whispered.
"It's too late" Leo's voice echoed in the room.
"Why? Why him?" Bianca shouted crying as she clung to Chris' body.
Suddenly all she felt was air. Shocked she looked up to find Chris' body disappeared.
Piper stared down at her hands. The voices of her family didn't reach her. All she saw before her eyes was the moment then the energy ball had hit her son, confusion and pain written all over his face.
"Oh my god, what have I done?" she cried out and ran over to her family.
Bianca jumped up and got in her way.
"Stay there! You have already killed one family member!"
"It's okay Bianca. She's back to normal!" Leo calmed her down.
"Looks like the pain has transformed her back" Phoebe said to herself.
"I just want to go home" Paige cried.
Wordless Bianca took off the spell and shimmered away.
HALLIWELL HOUSE:
LIVING ROOM:
The family had just come back.
They heard how a door got slammed shut upstairs followed by Bianca's hysterical sobs.
"I'll pick up Shane" Leo said.
Without another word he beamed off to Darryl and Sheila.
Piper stared spaced out to the floor.
The words she had said to Chris only a few house ago were reverberating in her head, over and over again: "It's my job to protect you…my job to protect you"
"Piper" Paige lay a hand on her shoulder.
Piper pushed it away.
"I would like to be alone"
With these words she went upstairs, staring ahead of her.
Phoebe swallowed down her tears while Paige sighed.
A few seconds later Leo came back with Shane.
Shane began babbling straight on.
"How did the mission go? Could you save Wyatt? Grandpa wouldn't tell me anything. Where are mom and dad?"
Tears were entering Leo's eyes. Quickly he beamed away before Shane would notice.
Silently Phoebe looked at the orbs how they slowly disappeared.
"Where did he go?" she asked.
Paige sensed for him.
"To the Golden Gate Bridge. We should give him some time alone"
Shane took a few steps backwards.
"Okay, what's wrong? Since you came back from the mission you've been acting strange. Darryl and Sheila have even given me looks of pity when Leo talked to them alone"
Nervously Paige bit her lip.
"Shane, there's something we have to tell you. Your father…he didn't survive the mission.
PAIGES BEDROOM:
The room was filled with Bianca's sobs.
She lay in the bed, one of Chris' shirts pressed against her body, his scent filling her nose.
Every minute she felt how her heart broke a little bit more apart, how she fell with every seconds passing deeper and deeper in an endless hole.
"Mom?"
When she heard Shane's voice she began crying even more.
Crying Shane lay down next to her.
On this evening the Halliwell house was filled with sobbing, endless questions and the loss of a son, nephew, boyfriend and father.
