Chapter 4

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

After cleaning up the breakfast meal and the kitchen, Piper and Paige orbed up to the attic as well as Chris, while Leo tend to Wyatt. When they got there Piper put the Book of Shadows back on its stand and started to look through it for revealing spells and potions, and Leo then orbed up to the attic no sooner later. They started to get to work and for the morning they had tried every type of spell and potion that they could find and think of but nothing.

"Oh, I give up! We tried everything! Every spell, potion, spell and potion and still nothing!" shouted Paige in frustration as she plopped down in a sofa chair that was in the attic.

"And there's nothing about Soulseekers in the book as well. Whomever gave you this scroll Leo, I think its just a lie." said Piper.

"No, I'm not so sure about it being a hoax. I think we just need to keep trying harder." suggested Leo.

"I have something that might help." offered Chris.

"What is it?" asked Piper.

"Could you wait a minute." replied the teen and he orbed away. A minute later he orbed back in and in his arms he was holding a book that was similar to the Book of Shadows but the bindings and cover was a golden and silver color.

"What is that?" asked Paige as she stood up and walked over to Chris who had placed the book he brought on the stand with the Book of Shadows.

"This is the Book of Light." answered Chris as he opened the book and started to flip through the pages.

"The Book of Light..." said Piper as she gave him a look.

"Like you the Halliwells, this book has been passed down my family from generation to generation and each generation contributing something into it. You see my ancestor, Terrence Elger who created the book was a decendent of the wizard Merlin and according to the story; during one of his travels he met your ancestor the one who created the Book of Shadows.

From what I know of they became friends and shared knowledge of their knowing of magic, when they had to go their separate ways my ancestor decided to create the Book of Light, which suppose to be the equal to the Book of Shadows. When Terrence Elger died he infused his magic into the book to protect it from evil forces who may want the book of its magical knowledge." Chris explained as he continued to flip through the pages.

"I never knew that." said Piper as she took in the new knowledge about her ancestor she never knew about.

"So you brought this book from the future." stated Paige.

"Um no, this book is from this time. I just borrowed it from my family."

"Wait a minute, when you came back why didn't you ask you family to help?" asked Piper.

"Because the Soulseekers specifically said that I ask you guys, since you are the Charmed Ones."

As everyone was looking through the Book of Light they didn't noticed when they were performing a spell, one of the candles that was set on the table they were working at, tipped over and rolled over right on the scroll they lefted on the table and it caught on fire.

"Do you guys smell something burning?" asked Paige as she sniffed the air.

Everyone started to sniff as well and turned their heads to source and saw the entire scroll was on fire.

"Oh no, someone put out the fire!" shouted Piper as she and the others sprinted to the table.

"I got it," stated Paige as she held out her hand, "jug of water." And the jug of water from the kitchen appeared in her hand and she dumped it onto the scroll, putting it out as well soaking it wet.

"Oh great! Now what do we do." sighed Piper.

"Hey guys, come look at this!" Paige motioned everyone to go over to her. Everyone gathered around her and looked at the scroll which wasn't damaged at all and words started to appear.

"Oh why didn't we think of putting it on fire first then putting it out with water." Piper said sarcastically.

"Well at least we unlocked the scroll, now time to start drying it." Paige held out her hand, "hairdryer." and a hairdryer orbed in her hand. She plugged it in a nearby wall plug and started to blow dry the wet scroll.

Piper and Leo then turned around and found that Chris was gone apparently and wondered where he went, wanting to check on Wyatt they walked down from the attic as Paige was drying the scroll.

As they head towards Wyatt's room they heard someone talking, they stopped at the door and peeked through the opening, seeing the door wasn't fully closed. And inside was Chris with his arms crossed leaned on the end of Wyatt's crib, and Wyatt had his protection shield up.

--------------------

"You are so much like him, but you're not my Wyatt though. Well you will be him in 20 years or so but not the one I know and love. You'll be different from him that I know of since that the future I'm from doesn't exist anymore. You may find a girlfriend when you grow up then maybe Piper will have the grandchildren that she wanted." Chris said in a quiet voice as he talked to the baby Wyatt.

"I wish I knew if Wyatt is okay, I hope it just not too late to save him." sighed Chris in a hoarse voice as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath as a tear from his eyes slid down his cheek and dripped onto baby Wyatt's shield.

As if Wyatt knows what he is going through his shield came down and he started to make googling sounds trying to get Chris's attention. Finally opening his eyes he looked down at the baby who was making googling sounds and saw his shield was down and was waving his arms about, as if he wanted to be picked up.

"So you finally trust me, huh?" said Chris who was smiling with tears still in his eyes. Chris uncrossed his arms, reached out and picked up baby Wyatt into his arms and started to hold him.

Outside the door Piper and Leo just smiled.

---------------------

When Paige had finished drying the scroll everyone was back in the attic and was reading through the scroll that they now had revealed. On it, it had information about Soulseekers and a way to find the elements.

"Lets see Soulseekers," read Piper,

"They are a species of demons which once roamed the earth, but because of their brutal way of gaining power they were banished and seal to another dimension by the gods and immortals. They are known as Soulseekers because they absorb souls to gain their power. When one is destroyed the souls that they absorbed will return to their rightful owners. Their power is way beyond any mortal magic and only the power of gods or immortals can revival to their power."

"So a Soulseeker's power is god like." said Paige.

"And only the power of a god or immortal can defeat them, that why we need to find the four elements." added Leo.

"As well include with this is a way to get to the dimension of the Soulseekers as well as to finding the elements." putted Piper.

"Well lets start then," announced Piper as she looked down the scroll, "let see how to create a elemental locator."

"We need a representative of each element as well as crystal or glass fragments." and everyone went to gather the ingredients.

When everyone was back they started.

"Power of the ancient forces,

Base of all magic sources,

Elements to near and far,

Locate them wherever they are," chanted Piper as she read the spell.

"Wind," and Piper blew some air into the pot that they had set up.

"Water," and Paige poured some water in from a glass.

"Earth," and Chris poured in a handful mixture of dirt, sand and gravel.

"Fire," and Leo lit a match and dropped it in.

"For clarity of the spell it holds," Piper poured in the shattered glass pieces.

"Combining of four to which we're told!." once Piper finished the spell the pot started to glow a light blue color and the stuff inside exploded.

--------------------

At the front door of the manor, the sound of keys rattled and the knob turned opening the door and Phoebe walked in followed by the new comic artist that her boss hired, Aaron.

"You live here?!" the teen said in a suprise.

"Yeah, our family have lived in this house for generations."

"I just live five houses down from here." stated Aaron as he was looking around the living room.

"You mean the Grayson's house?"

"Yes, I believe that's the one."

"I didn't know they moved?"

"Then you must be too busy with your life to noticed then."

"You have no idea. Is anybody home?! We have company!" shouted Phoebe to warn the others.

--------------------

"The scroll should had given a warning if the spell was going to explode like that." coughed Chris as he tried to clear the smoke away with waving of his hands.

When the smoke was cleared all four of them looked into the pot and found that a palm size glass crystal was now sitting on the bottom. Piper reached and pulled it to get a better look.

"So how is this suppose to work?" asked Paige.

"According to scroll whenever one of the elements are near it glow in the element's respective color. White for Wind, blue for Water, green for Earth and red for Fire. The brighter it glows, the nearer the element is." explained Leo as he was reading off the scroll.

"You mean like its doing right now?" asked Paige. The crystal in Piper's hand was glowing a bright white color.

"Is anybody home?! We have company!" Phoebe's voice shouted from downstairs.

"Phoebe's home with company, do you think...." started Chris.

"Only one way to find out." stated Leo and everyone headed downstairs.
