This chapter took me a little longer, the reason being it is a little
longer than my other chapters, hope you enjoy!
Chapter 8
"There's no use in fighting me witch, you can't win!" The Ledger took a step towards Paige, who in return took a step backwards, trying to keep as much distance between them as possible.
Paige had been very much into doing things herself; her way. Well she was an only child until she had found her sisters three years ago, but right now she would give anything to have them fighting by her side. But they couldn't, she was the power of one now, it was up to her, and she had to think of something fast. Paige was standing between the Ledger and Leo and Wyatt, she knew that if the Ledger got his hands on Wyatt's power he would be pretty much invincible and she wasn't going to let that happen.
"Leo, get Wyatt out of here now!" Paige shouted behind her.
"But what about Chris?" Paige could hear the fear and concern in his voice; she looked over her shoulder at Leo, she gave him the best smile she could manage then simply said.
"Hurry back." Leo didn't move for a second, his eyes on Chris, but he also knew he had to get Wyatt out, so he disappeared in a swirl of bright light.
"It's no use, after I kill all of you I can easily find the child." Then without hesitation the Ledger thrust his sword at Paige who just managed to orb out in time, orbing back in a few feet behind where she had originally been.
"Neat trick but two can play at that game!" He said as he disappeared, reappearing behind Paige, but she was ready for him, and just dodged his grasp, she was not about to let him touch her. They were her powers and she was going to keep it that way.
Phoebe knew she was powerless, and felt somewhat drained but she still had her training. So she pulled her to her feet and charged the Ledger, she had to keep him away from Paige, as long as possible.
Piper crawled over to Chris, dragging Excalibur behind her. She ripped the gag from his mouth and freed his hands from behind his back.
"Mom..." He croaked. He was pale, sweaty and shivering in Piper's arms, but worst of all he had lost a lot of blood. Putting pressure on Chris' wound Piper tried to reassure her son.
"It's ok sweetie, I'm here now, everything is going to be ok." Chris was slipping away and there wasn't anything she could do, what was taking Leo so long?
"I love you..."
"No Chris! Don't do this, don't say your goodbyes, you just have to hold on a little longer, ok just a little longer." Piper's voice cracked as fresh tears slid down her face.
"I'm going to get you out of this, you're not going to die, I won't let you!"
Leo orbed in but before he could fully materialise the Ledger sent him crashing in to the wall behind him, knocking him out cold. The Ledger walked towards Leo, but as he did, he was also walking towards Chris and Piper, and something happened he hadn't accounted for.
The Ledger faltered a bit, his free hand went to his heart, and his sword clattered to the ground. He looked between Chris and Piper, and the pain hit him hard and fast, leaving him groaning in pain. But this wasn't supposed to happen, demons couldn't feel like that, they aren't supposed to feel emotions like this. But he could, Chris' actual pain, and Piper's heart break and fear of losing her son where bearing down on the Ledger.
Phoebe noticed the signs, and realised what was happening, he suffering for the effects of her empath power.
"Don't you just hate it when that happens." Phoebe said sarcastically.
Paige went to move forward, but Phoebe stopped her.
"He can still hurt you." She whispered and stepped forward herself, the Ledger didn't even notice her, he was a bit preoccupied trying to control the sudden surge of feeling coming from Piper; fear, hatred, and pain.
Taking what chance she had Phoebe quickly executed a roundhouse kick to the Ledgers back. He doubled over in pain, but in return he sent Phoebe flying backwards, crashing into Paige.
While Paige and Phoebe untangled themselves from each other, the Ledger slowly crawled away from Piper and her son, the more distance there was between them the less he felt their pain. Phoebe not wanting to waste time while the Ledger was still not at his full strength, attacked again.
This time she aimed for the head, her foot connected with a loud thump, as the Ledgers head jerked backwards from the force of the blow. In his bewildered state, Phoebe ripped the amulet from around his neck, and quickly much some distance between them.
"No!" The Ledger screamed in anger when he realised what had happened.
"Here," Phoebe said quickly as she handed Paige a piece of paper, with the vanquishing spell on it. "Read this." Paige was the only one left with power and the only one who could vanquish the Ledger.
"We call upon the ancient power, To help us in this darkest hour, Evil soul black as night, Erase his essence from our sight,
Paige recited the spell but nothing happened, she looked to Phoebe.
"Why didn't it work?"
"I don't know...wait...it's a power of three spell." Phoebe said realising her mistake; the spell wouldn't work because Paige was only the power of one, which wasn't enough.
The Ledger pulled himself to his feet; he wasn't going down without a fight. Mimicking Pipers hand motion he tried to blow up Phoebe, but molecular acceleration is a tricky power to control, so he missed and blew a hole out of the wall behind her instead. The Ledger saw that it didn't work so went back to his (and Chris') power; telekinesis.
Phoebe tried to avoid it but couldn't and ended up in a heap beside an unconscious Leo.
"Quick Paige do something!" Phoebe urged as she tried to stand, but failed.
"What am I supposed to do?" Paige shouted back, Phoebe thought for a moment.
"Well he wants to be the Source, vanquish him like the Source!" Phoebe suggested.
Before the Ledger could react Paige began chanting, this spell she knew by heart.
"Prudence, Penelope, Patricia, Astrid,
Melinda, Helena, Alora, and Grace...
Halliwell witches stand strong beside me,
Vanquish this evil from time and space."
The Ledger screamed in agony, and burst into flames, disappearing leaving only a pile of ash behind. From where he had stood, white light appeared, split into three parts then came to rest in Piper, Chris, and Phoebe. They had their powers back.
"Oh thank god that's over!" Paige sighed in relief, but there wasn't time to relax, because the crisis wasn't over yet.
Chris was failing, fast, there was so much blood; his shirt was soaked and it was pooling on the floor, covering both him and Piper.
"Hurry, wake Leo up!" Piper said through tears. Phoebe, who was closest, began shaking Leo, but he didn't wake up.
"It's not working. Leo? Come on Leo wake up!"
"Oh no..." Escaped Piper's lips, Chris had lost consciousness a few minutes ago, Piper kept was watching his chest struggling to rise and fall, dragging in air.
Paige rushed over and slapped Leo across the face trying to wake him up, but again nothing happened.
"Chris? Can you hear me? Just hold on ok!" Piper called, Chris stirred, and opened his eyes.
"I'm...so...cold." He croaked. Piper pulled him in closer.
"It's ok sweetie you're gonna be fine." Piper said trying to reassure him, but also to try and reassure herself. Chris was going to be ok; she had to believe that. Piper had almost lost herself when Prue had died, she couldn't lose her son too, she knew she couldn't survive it.
"I love you Chris!" Piper whispered as she rocked back and forwards, Chris still her arms.
Paige and Phoebe keep working on waking up Leo, but it wasn't working, he had hit his head pretty bad.
"Leo, your son needs you!" Phoebe screamed at his limp body.
Then something happened, Leo stirred and his eyes fluttered open.
"Leo?" Paige shouted as she saw his eyes open. Before Leo could reply, Phoebe grabbed hold of his collar and dragged him over to Chris.
"Heal quickly." Seeing Chris in that state he was snapped Leo back into reality.
He placed his hands over then wound, a golden glow appeared, and the wound healed in seconds. Chris gasped for breath and bolted upright, before he could even take another breath Piper hugged him, squeezing him tight.
"You're suffocating me mom!" Chris said, but before Piper could even let go, Phoebe, Paige, and Leo all leaned in to hug Chris too, they were all happy he was ok. Chris couldn't help but smile; he finally had his family back.
Later that night, they were all back in the manor. All their powers had been restored, when the Ledger had been vanquished, Excalibur was safely back in the stone, Wyatt was sleeping upstairs, Phoebe and Paige were in the kitchen digging into a box of chocolates, spoiling themselves after a hard day of demon fighting and Chris was sound asleep on the sofa in the living room.
Chris was exhausted, they all were as they had been through so much. He slept soundly, while Piper stood in the doorway, she smiled as she watched her son sleep. The relief washed over her, it was over, the demon was dead, her sons were ok, her sisters too.
Leo orbed in, he walked up behind Piper putting his arms around her, and his hands on her stomach. They stood in silence for a while, watching Chris sleep, then Leo finally spoke.
"I talked to the other elders." Leo said quietly not wanting to wake Chris.
"And?"
"I told them that I'm staying here, my family needs me, and nothing is more important to me than you, Wyatt and Chris."
Piper turned her head to look at Leo.
"Really?" Piper asked.
"Yeah, I'm not going anywhere!" Leo leaned forward and kissed Piper.
