Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews! Well the next chapter after this is officially the big battle and this chapter is more of a filler but hopefully you'll like it. Once again there will probably be either one or two chapters left in this story. Thanks for reading and please review!

"Someone go and get Wyatt. NOW." Piper commanded, placing a pillow behind Paige's head.

Emma volunteered and sped off.

Paige was gripping the side of the couch tightly in pain. Her face was paler than usual and her glassy chocolate eyes were staring at the dark stain on her stomach where two black arrows were.

Phoebe sat down next to her and looked at her pitifully. "Sweetie, we can't let the poison affect you anymore. We need to get the arrows out." She told her softly.

Paige whimpered and closed her eyes.

Phoebe took hold of one of the arrows and Leo clutched the other one. With a pair of hesitant looks they pulled out both arrows.

"AHHHHHHH!" Paige screamed.

Marie flinched while Keith looked away, unable to witness the scene. More blood soaked through Paige's blue blouse and she clenched her teeth, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

Emma arrived just then with a blonde child in her arms. She took one look at Paige's condition and quickly set down Wyatt Matthews Halliwell.

Leo, his father, kneeled down and took his little hands. "Wyatt? We need you to heal your auntie Paige. Can you do that for us little guy?"

Wyatt blinked and shook his head.

Piper took a shot. "Why not honey? Come on do it for Paige. You did it for mommy once before remember?"

Wyatt merely glanced at his dying aunt, his blue eyes confused.

"He can't do it." Marie stated.

Piper turned to her. "Well why not? She demanded indignantly.

"When he healed you it was instinctive you were his mom. And the Elders had made an exception because of the whole Leo thing. This is different." Marie told her sympathetically.

"Then they could do it again right? They could make an exception?" Phoebe asked in a high voice.

Marie opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted as Ashley came barging into the room. "I found Max he's already on the bridge. There's a lot of demonic activity surrounding him." He informed them.

"It's started." Emma whispered.

Piper bit her lip and buried her face in her hands, thinking. "Leo you stay here with Paige and Wyatt. We'll go and finish this up quickly. We can't waste anymore time." She instructed in a muffled voice.

"How are we supposed to get there if we can't orb though?" Ashley reminded them.

In response to their question, there was a familiar jingle and a swirl of orb manifested themselves into a tall handsome young man, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He bared resemblances to Piper and Leo.

"You called?" He saw Emma and beamed then walked over to her and took her hand much to her satisfaction.

His smile faded though when his eyes fell upon Paige. "What happened to her?" he questioned anxiously.

"Two dark lighter arrows to the stomach and no white lighter to heal her." Phoebe responded dismally.

"Can't the Elders help-"

"Apparently, this isn't enough of a situation for them." Piper retorted bitterly. "But we need to go to the Golden Gate Bridge now. The Source is back and he's taken control of Death's Design. He's recruited demons and we're not going to wait for them to come to us. He's possessed Max Theron who might be able to help us out with Paige, he can heal."

Chris nodded understandingly. "What are we waiting for?"

Phoebe and Piper glanced once more at Paige fretfully before linking hands with the others and Chris.

Chris squeezed Emma's hand and orbed towards the bridge.

Chris…Chris…Chris please help…Chris…

The begging voice urged Chris to find them. He hesitantly let go of Emma's hand and orbed to the voice.

*** Piper, Phoebe, Ashley, Marie, Emma, and Keith landed abruptly, just feet away from the bridge, in the freezing waters.

"What the hell?" Keith cried, surfacing.

The other five's heads popped up and they struggled to fight against the strong torrents.

"Where's Chris?" Emma asked, panicky.

Everyone splashed and turned searching for him but found nothing.

Phoebe spit out some water and grimaced. "He must've been intercepted. A demon maybe?"

"It doesn't really matter right now. None of us can transport anywhere magically to find out. We have to get to Max and solve this all later." Keith told them briskly.

"Guys…" Ashley spoke up. He raised a wet shaking arm and pointed at something in the distance.

They turned to where he was pointing and gasped.

The majestic Golden Gate Bridge usually bustling with activity, cars and commuters, was deprived of such and was instead crowded with hoards of demons, warlocks, and dark lighters. There was a HUGE golden bubble of some sort surrounding it, a magical barrier. Loud jeering could be heard from where they were.

"Whoa…" Marie mumbled. "It sounds as if it's started."

Emma quickly looked at Ashley and smirked. "Ashley, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"No…but since I can read minds I'm sure it won't be that hard to find out… A boat?"

Emma smiled. "A boat."

*** Chris was surprised when he followed the voice and ended up orbing back to the manor.

Leo looked up, astounded. "Chris? What are you doing here?"

"I don't know I heard a voice calling for help…" Understanding flashed in his mysterious eyes. "Paige…"

He walked over to the couch and saw that she was steadily losing her battle to live. The blood had completely drained from her face and the fact that she was shuddering didn't help.

He leaned over her and took her hand. It was stiff and cold. "Paige did you call me?" he asked softly.

She nodded and managed to choke out, "It hurts, Chris. And you can f-fix it…"

He arched his eyebrows, confused. "How?"

"You're part-white lighter. Y-you can heal." She answered.

Chris frowned. Could the poison be affecting her memory? "Paige, you know I can't heal. It's an inactive power of mine because I'm only part white lighter."

Even in her condition Paige was able to glare at him like she had done so many times before. "I'm only part-white lighter and I was able to heal. Wyatt is only part-white lighter and he was able to heal too."

"But Wyatt is Wyatt." Chris protested. "And I'm still surprised that you were able to."

"It was a dire emergency and I eventually got used to it. Please Chris just try." She pleaded, tears glistening in her eyes.

Chris looked at his favorite aunt, torn. He knew it wasn't going to work. However he gripped her hand and smiled slightly. "Okay. I'll try."

*** The group was speeding towards the bridge at full speed on a small motorboat that Emma and Ashley had conjured up together.

"God I can't believe there are 6 witches here and we're using a motorboat to get to a full blown battle. We'll be sure to make quite an entrance." Piper grumbled sarcastically.

No one dared contradict her on the short trip to the bridge. When they reached it Phoebe took in a nervous breath, holding two potion vials in her hand. "Ready?"

There was no answer. "Great neither am I. Let's go."

*** Max rose gracefully into the air and grinned maliciously. He could see a small group of non-followers walking bravely towards the bridge. They weren't innocents seeing as how the magical barrier hadn't propelled them away and so his hunch was that the Charmed Ones or should he say the Charmed Two were finally making an appearance.

His grin grew even larger. Without the third sister they were no match for him. "Let the battle begin!"
