Piper and Phoebe get a plan but will it work?
________________________________________________________________________
Chapter 4
________________________________________________________________________
Scene 1 - Underworld
Leo is still chained to the wall but only the warlock and Wyatt are there.
Leo begins thinking to himself about a plan. He had tried to orb but it was to no avail. How could he be this powerful Elder and not be able to save his son. He began thinking about a way to contact Piper and Phoebe and let them know where he and Wyatt were. Then it hit him, Chris was still half- whitelighter and Leo could always hear an Elder's call so maybe if he concentrated hard enough he could mentally breakthrough the magic of the underworld and summon Chris. Leo closed his eyes and concentrated all his magic and energy on breaking through and calling out to Chris.

Scene 2 - Paige's room
Piper was still sitting on Paige's bed; Phoebe came in with a washcloth, a glass of water, and some soup. Phoebe handed the water and soup to Piper and then sat on the side of Paige's bed opposite of Piper and began to clean the cut above Paige's eye like before. Piper began feeding Paige the soup and making her drink some of the water. They were still overwhelmed by the condition of their sister and the fact they might have to fight this demon without her, without the power of three. Piper put the soup and water down, wiped Paige's face. Phoebe
Chris walks into the room
(Chris) "You guys need to get it together and you need to start
thinking of a plan, you can't just sit here the future needs you to
vanquish this demon and stop him from turning Wyatt."
(Piper) "Don't you think we know that Chris. I mean god it's not like
I want to sit here while by husband and son might be dying but what
the hell are we supposed to do? We don't know where they are, we don't
have the power of three, [looks at Paige] and we may never get it
back."
(Phoebe) "Piper calm down."
(Piper) "No Phoebe I won't calm down. All you've done since you've
came here Chris is talk about how we need to save the future, change
everything, well you know what, we're trying, we are. We don't want
the future to be the way you say it is either but you could help out
too you know! You have all this knowledge of the future, knowledge
that would probably be real useful right now but you keep saying you
can't tell us to much, but what does it matter Chris. If you don't
help us save the future, it won't matter; nothing will matter, not you
coming back, nothing!"
Tears had been welling up in Piper's eyes and now she was kneeling on the floor with her head in her hands crying. Phoebe had gotten up off of Paige's bed and was know kneeling behind her Piper hugging her; trying to calm her down. Phoebe looks up from behind Piper and stares up a Chris who has tears running down his face.

Scene 3 - Underworld
Leo still has his eyes closed trying to reach through to Chris. He is focusing all his energy, his love for Wyatt, his love for Piper, his power, everything then all the sudden he feels a wave of soothing energy enter his mind and he could feel the magic of the underworld lifting and the presence of Chris's energy. His mind became clear and all he could feel was Chris.

Scene 4 - Attic
Phoebe and Piper are standing at the stand with the book of shadows and Chris is seated on the coach still rattled by Piper's words. There are about a dozen potions laid out on a table to the right of Piper and Phoebe.
(Piper) "Okay so we're loaded in the potions department, what about a spell"
(Phoebe) "Well I figure that we could use the source vanquishing spell. It won't
be enough to vanquish the demon but hopefully slow him down
enough so that we can rescue Leo and Wyatt.
(Piper) "Lets hope so." (Phoebe)"I still don't understand how this plan works Piper, we don't know
where they are.
(Piper) "We know they're in the underworld."
(Phoebe) Yeah but they could be anywhere down there and who knows that kinds
of other Demons we could come across."
(Chris) "Phoebe's right we can't just orb down there with no idea where we're
going."
(Piper) "You're the one who wanted a plan; well this is all we got right now."
(Chris) "A plan yes, a suicide no."
Just as Chris finished he felt a rush of overwhelming energy enter his mind and grabs his head. Phoebe an Piper rush over.
(Phoebe) "Chris what is it?"
(Chris) "Leo.ugh.I can feel him.ugh it's too much."
(Piper) "Where Chris, where is he?"
(Chris) "Ugh. I. ugh.."
Piper rushed over to the table and grabbed the potions handing some to Phoebe.
(Piper) "Chris you have to orb us there, you have to concentrate on his energy."
Piper and Phoebe grab onto Chris and he orbs them from the attic.

Scene 5 - Underworld
The demon is still not there, the warlock is mixing more potions next to Wyatt and Leo is semi-conscious with his head hanging slightly down to one side exhausted and drain from his connection with Chris.
Chris, Piper, and Phoebe orb in behind a large rock to the right of Leo and behind the warlock.
(Piper) [looks at Phoebe] "Ready?"
(Phoebe) "Would it make a difference if I said no?"
(Piper) "No."
(Phoebe) "Then let's go kick some ass"
Phoebe stands up from behind the rock and throws a potion that fills the cave with smoke. Piper goes toward Wyatt, Phoebe attacks the warlock by surprise and Chris goes to unchain Leo.
Just as Piper is picking up Wyatt all the smoke in the room instantly disappears revealing the demon standing a few feet in front of her. The Demon throws and energy ball at Piper who manages to hold onto Wyatt as she lands next to the rock they had been hiding behind. Chris has only half unchained Leo but rushes to see if Piper is okay and is sent into the cave wall by another energy ball. Phoebe is continuing to fight the warlock and has him pinned to the ground. Just as she is about to throw a vanquishing potion on him the Demon comes from behind her and grabs her arm from the air snapping her wrist. Phoebe cries out in pain as the Demon picks her up by the throat and throws her next to Piper.
Piper is just beginning to regain her composure as Phoebe lands next to her crying in pain as she lands and tries to hold her arm against her body. Piper is holding Wyatt close to her chest as the Demon approaches holding a very large energy ball.
(Demon) "Give me the child witch."
(Piper) "Go to hell you bastard."
(Demon) "Gladly but first I have to get the Child so I'm just going to kill your
family [looking at Phoebe then Leo] until you cooperate."
Chris starts to get up but the Demon doesn't see him.
Phoebe is still cradled on the ground holding her wrist. The Demon approaches aiming the energy ball at Phoebe. Just as he throws it Chris comes from behind the rock and dives at Phoebe and Piper(still holding Wyatt) orbing them out of the cave and the energy ball crashes against the rock right where Phoebe was.
The Demon walks over to the Warlock who is still on the ground and picks him up by the shirt so he is the Demons eye level.
(Demon) "How could you let them get the child?"
(Warlock) "We.we still have the Elder. They will come back."
(Demon) "They better.for your sake." The Demon throws the Warlock back to the ground and walks over to Leo who is still semi conscious and half unchained. He rechains Leo then shimmers out.

Scene 6 - Attic/Manor
Piper, still holding Wyatt, Chris, and Phoebe orb in to the attic landing hard on the floor still shaken from the fight. Piper, with Wyatt, and Chris are slow to rise to their feet as Phoebe slowly sits up holding her arm tight against her chest. Piper has a trail of blood running from somewhere on her head down the side of her face and Chris has a gash on his arm from where he crashed into the cave wall. Piper places Wyatt on the couch making sure he isn't hurt then over goes over to Phoebe and kneels beside her.
(Piper)[looks over her shoulder at Chris] "Chris go get some bandages and stuff."
Chris orbs out of the attic. Piper leans in towards Phoebe and reaches out to touch her arm but Phoebe pulls away slightly.
(Piper) "You got to let me look , I know it hurts but we have to fix it okay?"
Phoebe nods her head and lets Piper slowly pull her arm away from her body so she can look at it; Phoebe winces at the pain. Chris reappears in the attic holding various medical supplies. Piper makes a crude splint for Phoebe's wrist then her and Chris clean and bandage their own cuts.
Piper helps Phoebe to her feet and downstairs to the couch before going into Paige's room to check on her, leaving Chris to look after Wyatt.
Piper walks into Paige's room and sits on her bed. She moves Paige from current sitting position and lays her down. She leans in close to Paige and brushes the hair back from her forehead.
(Piper) "Paige we need you to come back to us. We need your help. Please come
back. "
Piper kisses Paige on the forehead then leaves the room pausing to look back over her shoulder when she reaches the doorway then continues to walk out the door. As she does Paige's fingers on her right hand begin tremble slightly but Piper doesn't notice as she reaches behind her to turn off the light in Paige's room.
