slight case of writers block, especially since I am making this up as I go
along. Anyway, the chapters here now so hope you like! And just another
shout out to all my reviewers love you all!
Chapter 6
"WHAT?" Piper screamed as she started to hyperventilate. This couldn't be happening to her, it was one thing to worry about Chris, but he was at least old enough to take care of himself, Wyatt was barely one years old. How could Paige be so stupid, so irresponsible? She started to feel really light-headed, she knew Wyatt had his force field but what if the amulet could penetrate it or something? God she hoped he was alright.
"I'm so sorry!" Paige felt horrible, how could she have forgotten about her nephew? Phoebe and Paige had put Wyatt to bed, then there had been the whole deal with Chris disappearing, that it had slipped her mind, and for that she felt so incredibly guilty.
"We don't have time for this." Chris urged as he disappeared in a swirl of orbs.
Leo grabbed hold of Piper and Phoebe and orbed out after Chris, Paige took a deep breath and followed. If anything happened to Wyatt it would be her fault, and she didn't think she could live with that!
Back in the manor, Chris orbed into the upstairs landing and quietly tiptoed to Piper's room. A hand landed on his shoulder and he nearly jumped out of his skin, but it was only Leo, with the girls behind him.
"Let me go first." He whispered as he turned himself invisible. Chris nodded to the space in front of him, but he wasn't even sure if Leo was there anymore.
Leo walked into the bedroom and found the Ledger tearing the place apart. Leo glanced at the crib but Wyatt wasn't there, and he wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
Outside the room, Piper was really hyperventilating badly, Phoebe and Chris were trying to signal to her to take deep breaths without alerting the Ledger to their presence, while Paige was standing there in shock.
Suddenly the Ledger burst into the hallway.
"Where is the child?" He demanded.
"That's a good question, where is Wyatt?" Chris asked, after hearing that Piper had as much as she could take and fainted, luckily Chris caught her before she hit the floor.
"Mom?" Chris asked, the concern evident in his voice. Leo sneaked up behind the Ledger (he was now visible) and attempt to hit him over the back of the head with one of Piper's shoes, but the ledger moved at the last minute, missing his target Leo stumbled forwards.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Now I'll ask again, where is the child?" But no one answered, mainly because they didn't know, not that they would have told him if they did know.
"Fine you want to do it the hard way." Without hesitation he stretched out both arms, and shot electricity at both Leo and Phoebe, knocking them out cold. He then turned towards Chris, who was sitting on the floor with Piper in his arms.
"So what's going to be?" He asked. "Either tell me where the child is or, I kill them all right now!"
"Paige help!" Chris called, but Paige was frozen on the spot, unable to move, or think. The only thing she could managed to do was breathe. When Chris saw Paige couldn't help, he tried a different approach.
"If you kill them, then you'll never find Wyatt." He said, gently shaking Piper, hoping to wake her up, because at the moment he was on his own, alone.
The Ledger took two large steps forward, until he was standing practically on top of Chris and Piper. He grabbed Piper out of Chris' grasp, and with a flick of the wrist sent Chris crashing into the table behind him.
"Look at it this way, either you sense the child's location, since you are a whitelighter and bring him to me, or I kill each one of your charges and the elder slowly, very slowly and then I'll kill you too." He said with an evil smirk on his face, he was really enjoying himself.
"Please, just don't hurt them." Chris pleaded as he tried to stand, but he slipped on a piece of the shattered table, falling to his knees. He had to think of something fast, he couldn't give the Ledger his brother, but if he killed his family, especially Piper, he would no longer exist and then it would be Wyatt who would be alone. How could he get out of this, without the use of his powers?
"Last chance." The Ledger warned. Chris was really panicking, how could he make such a decision, his family or his brother? Even though Wyatt had turned in the future and they had their differences; very big differences at that, he was still his brother.
The Ledger was getting impatient, and shot a surge of electricity through Piper, Chris winced in pain, and the Ledger noticed this.
"Interesting." He said as he sent another surge through Piper, causing Chris so cry out. But Piper now woke up from the pain, and began struggling in the Ledgers arms.
"Let me go!" As she continued to struggle in her captor's arms, she quickly glanced around the room, seeing both Leo and Phoebe unconscious on the floor, Paige just standing there like she had been frozen, and Chris groaning in pain at her feet.
"Well that's something I wasn't excepting." The Ledger said as he looked down at Chris.
"Chris?" Piper asked, fear in her voice. "Stop hurting him."
"Oh but I'm not, I'm merely hurting you. Yet he feels the pain, why would that be?"
Piper remained silent, she could feel her own pain edging its way through her system, the Ledger looked between them, then remembered something Chris had said, he had called the witch mom. This was definitely a twist he had not foreseen, but since he couldn't find Wyatt, Chris would have to do.
"Now I will get what I came for, the son of a charmed one!" He pushed Piper aside, took the semiconscious Chris and disappeared.
"Noo!" Piper screamed, but it was to late. Piper felt like she might faint again, but she couldn't, she had to save her sons. She scrambled over to Leo.
"Leo wake up! Come on your sons need you!" She screamed as tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Leo stirred. "What happened?" He asked as he saw his ex-wife's tear stained cheeks.
"He took Chris!"
"Oh no!"
"Quick hurry heal Phoebe and Paige." Piper urged and Leo obeyed, he first healed Phoebe, who woke up asking the same thing as Leo had. But when Leo went to heal Paige it didn't work.
"I can't heal her, she not injured she's in shock!" He said as waved his hand in front of her face, but there was no recognition, she continued to stare straight ahead with a blank expression on her face.
"We don't have time for this I have to find my so..." Before Piper could finish the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Phoebe said as she ran downstairs.
A few seconds later Phoebe called.
"Piper, Leo, you guys better get down here." They both looked at each other then took off after Phoebe.
When the got to the door they saw Sheila with Wyatt in her arms.
"Oh thank god." Piper said as she rushed over and took her son from Sheila.
"Hey, Wyatt just appeared in our living room, I thought I'd bring him home, before you all panic."
"Thanks so much!" Phoebe said for all of them.
"Not a problem, just call me if you need anything." Sheila said.
"Yeah sure, thank again." Phoebe said, Sheila smiled then left.
As soon as she shut the front door Phoebe asked.
"Why did Wyatt orb to Darryl's and Sheila's?"
"It makes sense, since we were all in the underworld, he couldn't sense where we were, so he orbed to some other place he knew." Leo said, and Piper nodded in agreement. She was so glad Wyatt was ok, but worried sick about Chris at the same time.
"Now we have to get Chris back! The Ledger took him because he couldn't find Wyatt, he said he wanted the son of a charmed one!" Piper filled them in.
Meanwhile in the underworld...
Chris was bound and gagged on the floor, the Ledger wasn't taking any chances this time. The Ledger was in the middle of the cavern placing certain ingredients into a large cauldron. He turned to Chris, an athame appeared in his hand.
"Now for the last ingredient, the blood, of the son of a charmed one!"
With that he plunged the athame into Chris' stomach.
