I am really sorry guys for not updating earlier but the last two weeks were the busiest ones ever. I mean I had to practice very hard for my examen in driving (if you call that so) but in the end I had it! On the 10th of May I got it. Now I can officially drive with my parents... (special condition in Germany don`t ask...) Then I had a party which lastet three days and now. Furthermore I got ill. I think it`s the flu... But nevertheless I try to update...

No such things as mercy if you are a Halliwell

Chapter 14: New troubles

"So what do we do now?" Piper asked as they had watched Chris laugh for a while.

"There is so much to do... Heal Chris... Somehow... fix our relationship... Keep Wyatt good..."

"I think we need to fix your leg now," Leo told Chris.

"How am I supposed to do that without healing? I am afraid that you have to suffer longer, Chris, but on the other side..."

"Yeah you seem to feel better since we kicked Jo`s ass!" Phoebe said. "Maybe this demon prevented Leo from healing Chris earlier... I hope so"

"It`s worth a try," Paige added and shrugged. "Please let it work!"

"Okay," Chris sighed.

I am not sure if it works now... normally poisons do not need demons to maintain it...

Leo kneeled next to Chris and held his hands over the injured leg. "Come on! Work!"

Everyone waited in anticipation for the golden glow to appear and set Chris´ leg right.

"Soon you will be okay sweetie," Piper promised Chris silently.

"Dear nephew of mine ... there is so much to talk about...," Phoebe thought.

"Get better soon," Paige wished him as she watched.

Leo was concentrating very hard. He flexed his hand softly and then held it over his son´s lower leg again willing it to work.

Chris was watching his hand but the look in his eyes told Leo what he was fearing all along. He would not work.

After a few minutes Piper interrupted, "I don`t get why it is not healing."

"It should have been fixed by now! Please do not tell me that it still does not work!"

"Me neither," Leo replied in defeat. "That is so not possible... or is it?"

"Maybe the poison has nothing to do with Jo," Paige mused. "Oh no..."

"But that would mean...," Piper said in horror. "Great news...really... I am sick of it!"

"...that I cannot heal my son?" Leo asked incredulously. "No I am failing him again!"

Chris flinched.

Leo? Did you just call me son again? That is so creepy... But what worries me more is that I do not know how I can get better soon... Otherwise... I survived worse injuries...

"Hey guys," He tried to assure them by fooling them, "I don`t think that it is broken and I dealt with worse before..."

He stopped short as he noticed their looks. Shit...If only I have not said this...

"Oh Chris!" Piper sobbed. "He is so brave ... he suffered so much!"

"No Piper, I did not mean it that way..." Chris corrected quickly and coughed violently. What`s wrong now?

"Areyoualright?" Leo asked him immediately without taking a breath. "That sounded not healthy..." No way his leg is not broken. He just tried to be brave. Son, I can help you!

"I... *cough*... am... *cough*... fi... *cough*... ne" Chris wheezed out. Damn it!

He was not feeling too hot now. He clenched his hands in fists and tried to ride out the pain. He brought one of his hands up to wipe at his mouth with the back of his hand. He idly noticed that it came back wet.

"Oh my god! There is blood!" Phoebe shrieked and pointed at Chris. "He is really dying!"

"What?" Piper shouted back. " ?"

"Yes, there!" Paige agreed and pointed to where Phoebe was pointing. "That is so not good!"

Leo looked worriedly over to Chris and then he saw it, too. "Why can`t I help him?"

"Oh shit," Chris coughed once more. He inspected his left hand that was covered in blood and involuntarily winced. He looked horrified at his family.

This time it seems to be worse than I thought...

"Hospital Now!" Piper demanded and rushed to catch her keys. "faster!"

Chris cringed at the word 'hospital'.

"No orbing?" Leo shouted. "We need the fastest way!"

"We don`t want to make it worse! Last times he vomitted after orbing!" Piper shouted back. "That could be his death!"

Chris thought tiredly, What have I gotten myself into now?

In a safe distance a demon smiled.

"And I thought that you would be immune against that, too. I am very glad that you suffer Matt!"

TBC...

Sorry but I thought that a short update is better than nothing...

I try to work on more tomorrow when I feel better...
