yous all like this!
Chapter 4
"Oh no, what are we going to do?"
"We have to find her!" Chris replied as he ran up the stairs, Leo at his heels.
"That takes to long." Paige said as she grabbed Phoebe's arm and orbed them both up to the attic. They landed just as the guys ran through the door. Paige rushed over to the Book of Shadows, flipping through trying to find the page on the Ledger and Phoebe went over to the table with the map of San Francisco on it, and began scrying for her sister.
"Ok this is all we've got on the Ledger." Paige said reading from the Book of Shadows. "They are the highest level of darklighter, their poison is about 10 times stronger, and those infected have only a 5% survival rate, ok I'll keep that in mind. It mentions that they have some other powers but doesn't say what, and it says that a power of three spell should vanquish him, Phoebe you in a rhyming mood?"
"Yeah I'll write a spell, god I don't know why we even bother to scry anymore, it never works." Phoebe said softly, trying to keep her emotions in check, the Ledger wouldn't have taken Piper if he just wanted her dead, to keep her mind off it she started work on the vanquishing spell.
Chris started pacing, trying to use up the energy that was building up inside of him, but he couldn't take it any longer, and blew up a vase that was on one of the shelves. The others turned to look at him.
"Venting!" He simply replied and continued pacing.
"Chris you never did tell us what powers you have." Phoebe stated.
"Yeah I know but now's not the time, we have to find Piper!"
Leo took a step closer to Chris. He was still unsure about how to act around him, what to do and what to say, ever since he'd found out the truth. In a way part of him had blocked it out like it had never happened, he had been trying to act normal, like nothing had really changed, but part of Leo knew things would never be the same. He no longer had just one son, but two, and one of them was 22 and standing right in front of him, it was a lot for any man to handle, especially since a darklighter had just kidnapped the love of his life. Leo didn't have to have Phoebe's empathy power to know how upset Chris was, because he was feeling the exact same way.
"Chris we'll find her." Leo said, mostly to himself.
Meanwhile in the underworld...
"My sisters will come for me, and they'll vanquish your sorry ass!" Piper sneered at the Ledger as she struggled on the floor; her hands were tied behind her back in a way that she couldn't use her powers, to get herself out of this mess.
"They'll come, in fact I'm counting on it!" The Ledger laughed evilly.
That statement made Piper very nervous, what was his plan? Why did he want her sisters to come? And most importantly why was she still alive? Not that she was complaining or anything, it's just that the only reason for her to be alive was to be used as bait, and she knew her sisters were about to walk right into a trap.
"Why are you keeping me here?"
"That's none of your concern." He replied ending the conversation with a stern look.
Piper kept fidgeting, trying to loosen the ropes around her hands, until she succeed, Piper managed to free her hands enough to blow up the rope, she jumped to her feet and waved her arm at the Ledger, hoping to send him flying like Chris had, but nothing happened.
"Chris now would be a good time to help mommy out." Piper said, but when nothing happened, she tried to blow him up, failing yet again. All the while he stood there with a smirk on his face.
"Save your feeble attempts, it won't work, I'm protected from your magic." He said as he reached inside his black shirt to reveal an amulet on a chain around his neck. "You didn't think I would come unprepared now did you?"
Still Piper wasn't going to give up that easily, she attempted to blow him up again, but with the same result: nothing, nada, zilch.
"Don't try my patience!" The Ledger boomed as he sent Piper crashing into the wall behind her.
Piper groaned in pain, then noticed she was bleeding from a wound on her stomach.
"My baby." Quietly escaped Pipers lips.
Meanwhile in the attic...
Phoebe was still working on the spell, while Leo and Paige were trying to come up with an idea of finding Piper, wherever she was. Chris couldn't think straight, or even seem to voice his opinion, so he kept pacing, his eyes darted to Wyatt in his playpen, it was still weird seeing your big brother as a baby.
"Well since scrying's not working that means either she is a place that's hidden by charms, or she in the underworld, right? They would be the only two reasons why you can't sense her?" Paige said, it was more of a rhetorical question, but Leo nodded in agreement anyway.
"But that still leaves us in the same place, how do we find her?"
Then suddenly Chris doubled over in pain, falling to the floor.
"Chris?" Leo rushed over to him. "What's wrong?"
"Mom!" Chris whispered as he fell out of consciousness.
"Chris?" Leo called as he placed his hands over his son, trying to heal him but nothing happened.
"Why won't it work?" Leo asked frantically.
"I don't know, but he's still breathing!" Paige said, "and his pulse is strong!"
Leo picked Chris up with great difficulty and took him over to the couch, at the other side of the attic, and lay him gently down.
"I don't understand why I can't heal him!" Leo said in frustration, he felt so helpless, and he hated that feeling. What kind of a father was he if he couldn't even help his son?
"I heard him right didn't I, he said mom?" Phoebe questioned as she knelt on the floor beside the couch.
"Yes he did!" Paige exclaimed, it was sliding into place. "He's not the one who's hurt, it's Piper, and he's somehow feeling her pain!?!"
"But why? I'm the empath here!" Phoebe stated, but it was Leo who replied this time.
"But Piper's pregnant, so whatever happens to her, happens to the baby...happens to Chris!" It made sense, why he couldn't heal him; the only way to was to heal Piper.
Chris stirred slightly, and then groaned in pain, Leo felt his heart sink in his chest. He was still trying to deal with the truth, and the fact his wife and son were now in grave danger was not really helping matters. He had to find Piper soon before he lost his family.
"Ok we have to find Piper now!" Leo almost shouted. Paige and Phoebe nodded.
Meanwhile in the underworld...
Piper was having a rough time, she was battered, bruised and bloody, and had no way to defend herself. Of course it didn't help that she was worried sick about her family to, she didn't want her sisters to walk into this trap the Ledger had set up, and she felt horrid every time she thought of Chris. Her stomach was bleeding quite badly, and she hoped, wished and prayed that he was ok. She didn't want to lose her son during all of this, as weird as it still was that Chris is her son.
"Why bother witch, you cannot defeat me! And when you're sisters come for you, you can all die together!" He smiled, and it made Piper shudder, as it was such an evil smile.
"You leave them out of this!" Piper said boldly, her adrenaline was surging through her veins, the only thing stopping her from passing out with the pain. She had to stay awake; she had to find some way of getting the amulet from him, so she could blast him to kingdom come!
"Foolish, foolish witch." The Ledger replied as he walked up to Piper, taking her by the scruff of the neck and yanking her to her feet.
"You cannot stop me! Soon the Power of Three will be dead, and the child will be mine!"
"Noo!" Piper screamed but it was too late he sent a shock of electricity through her system, knocking her out as she slumped to the floor at his feet.
Meanwhile in the manor...
Phoebe and Paige had taken Wyatt down to Pipers room, to put him to bed, when Leo came rushing in.
"Leo what's wrong?" Paige asked as she saw the look on his face.
"Chris is disappearing!"
