Part Eight
Wyatt had a look of disbelief running across his face. He was powerless. In a time he did not know and powerless. He sat down on the edge of a chair and looked down towards the floor.
Leo walked over and wrapped his arm around his dishearten son. "Don't worry about it. We'll find them."
"But I've always looked after them dad. Ever since someone tried to steal Mel ice cream in the park when she was five." Wyatt explained still not looking up and cursing under his breath.
"You looked after her then without powers, so you can do it now as well." Piper explained to her son.
"Besides the only problem I can see is who you get to look after Wyatt." Neve said in a bored fashion playing with her ring.
Wyatt face shot up as he looked at his cousin. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Well I can find them."
"Excuse me, you?"
"Well, yeah, your not the only one with whitelighter blood in you." Neve explained with a slight grin on her face.
"You've never been able to do it before!" Wyatt said as he shook his head.
"No, I've never been given the chance too."
"Enough" Paige shouted over the bickering, before turning to her daughter. "Do you think you could do it?"
"Yeah, I think I can."
Paige glanced at her brother-in-law to see his reaction. Once seeing Leo nod, she put her arm over her little girl's shoulder. "Go for it then."
Neve closed her eyes, trying to focus on her cousins. She was in her trance for only a couple of minutes but to her family it seemed like hours. Once the youngest in the Halliwell family opened her eyes to look at the rest of them, she had a huge smile that lit up her face.
"You better find that babysitter."

The group of six hooded demons were crowded around the other side of the violent green fire around the central figure. The messiah that the other demons were worship was listening to their reports. 'Uncle Stuart' smiled as he listens to the lower level demons as he kept his eyes looking through the fire to the Halliwell brats.
The hovering demon stopped their idealism as one of them stepped forward.
"Sir," The hooded demon said as he stepped forward and kneels at his leaders feet.
"Yes," Came a lacklustre reply.
"Why can't we just kill the brats?" The demon asked with a slight whimper in his voice.
'Uncle Stuart' diverted their eyes from the two girls, and kept the tone of his voice calm but firm. "We will not kill the children. That will only inflame the situation when their parents arrive and they will arrive. And the destruction of the charmed ones will not take place until I secure my place in the family to get the book of shadows and destroy their stronghold. Patience is a virtue and I am prepared to wait."
A second demon approached his ruler and knelt, "We understand that sir, but we can't just stand he waiting. It gets frustrating!"
"Well calm your tensions in enjoying some sport with those two then." 'Uncle Stuart' waved his arm and removed the green fire. "Well, what are you waiting for? I want to be left along without you halfwits crowding around me. They're attractive little witches."
"Yes, but those witches are my daughter and niece." Piper voice came drifting in as she approached the entrance to the cave. Lifting her hands up. "And you should lean, that you don't cross a charmed one."
Melinda quickly got to her feet and froze the oncoming demons. "Mom, wait, you can't do anything."
