Chapter 2

In the Halliwell Manor

The next day, Paige opened the Book of Shadows. She'd had a dream the night before and had found the missing ingredient for her transformation spell. She wrote her transformation spell in the book and closed it with satisfaction. She had sucessfully turned a fern into a dove and back again that morning. She wasn't sure if it would work on a human, but she wanted to find out. But who to test it on? Too bad Leo wasn't around. She used him to test things quite often. Just then Paige had a great idea. At least it seemed like a great idea at the time. She would test the spell on herself. She just had to be careful to transform herself into something that could break the potion bottle to transform her back. Picking up the bottle of potion, she added a little bit of male essence, borrowed from Phoebe's husband Mike. Paige dropped the bottle at her feet. At first nothing happened. Then slowly changes began to take place. She grew 8 inches taller. Her shoulders became broader. Her hair shortened. Her chest became smaller. She rushed to the mirror to see for herself what exactly was happening. When she saw her reflection she let out a shreek. Well, if she had still been herself it would have been a shreek. It was more of a startled yell. Staring back at Paige from the mirror was Mike!

Hearing what sounded like Mike in trouble, Piper bounded up the attic stairs. She was followed by Prue and Wyatt. Wyatt was young, but he had powers and sometimes they were forced to rely on them. Reaching the attic, they found "Mike" staring at himself in the mirror. Muttering, "This wasn't supposed to happen. This wasn't supposed to happen." Piper spoke up first. "What's wrong Mike?" Paige turned around to face the group. "Great they all think I'm Mike! How am I going to explain this one?!" Paige thought to herself. She gave them a weak smile. "You aren't going to believe this, but I'm not Mike. I'm Paige." Piper and Prue looked at "Mike" in disbelief. Wyatt snickered. "Very funny, Uncle Mike." Paige knew she had to transform back into herself, but unfortunately she'd forgotten to add her own essence to a bottle of potion. She had to find another way. Paige threw up her hands in exasperation. "Wait! I'll prove I'm Paige!" She ran down the stairs to Phoebe and Mike's room. The others followed.

Phoebe sat bolt upright when the door to her room flew open. She'd been napping. "Mike?! What aren't you at work?!" Paige barged into the room and sat down by Phoebe. She grabbed Phoebe's head and made her look into her eyes. "Look at me Phoebe. I'm not Mike. Tell them I'm not Mike." Phoebe thought for a moment her husband had gone insane. But the longer she stared into those eyes, the clearer it became. It wasn't Mike. Phoebe's face changed. "Oh Paige, What did you do?!" Paige smiled. Thank the Gods for Phoebe's gifts! Paige set to explaining what she'd done. Wyatt spoke up after listening. "I have an idea, Auntie Paige." The others turned to Wyatt. Could they trust a little boy to fix this kind of mess? Was he powerful enough?

Wyatt picked up the bottle of transformation potion. He sure hoped he'd made the right adjustments to turn Paige back into herself. Paige stood on the other side of the table. "Ready?" Wyatt questioned. Paige took a deep breath. "Ready." Wyatt threw the bottle at Paige. The changes came rapidly this time. Paige's hair grew long again and her figure became more feminine. She was a woman again, but she wasn't herelf. She looked like a cross between Meryl Streep and Jessica Rabbit. Wyatt was so upset that his plan didn't work. He bolted from the room and ran outside. Piper followed him calling for him to come back. Wyatt didn't want to talk. He didn't want them to coo over him like a little child. Not knowing any other way to avoid his mother, Wyatt orbed downtown. He hadn't been concentrating on a specific spot so he found himself in an unfamiliar place. Not really caring, he began to explore.

Back At The Manor:

Piper was frantic. She had been scrying for Wyatt for over an hour and still hadn't located him. Paige sat on the couch calling out "Leo" every few seconds. But he still hadn't answered her call. Phoebe sat at the table holding Little Chris who hadn't stopped crying since Wyatt disappeared. It was as though he could feel that his brother was missing. Prue sat alone in front of the fireplace with her eyes closed trying to fix on Wyatt's location. But she couldn't sense him. They were all distressed. Wyatt could be in great danger.

Downtown:

Wyatt walked down an alley. It was empty. Eerily empty. Wyatt wasn't afraid of evil beings attacking him. He'd vanquished upper level demons on his own before. The alley was getting creepier and creepier. It was nearly dark even though it was only mid-afternoon. Wyatt wanted to orb home, but at the same time he wanted to find the source of the eerie feeling. Rounding a corner onto a dead end street Wyatt spotted a little boy about his age with black hair. Wyatt sensed the eerie feeling coming from the boy. Was the boy evil? He'd never seen a child demon before. His curiousity got the best of him. He just had to find out. Walking closer cautiously, Wyatt called out to the boy. "Hello?" The boy turned to Wyatt. His eyes glowed a bright green. Wyatt was taken aback. Maybe this was a bad idea. Then they boy's eyes changed to a dull brown color that was somewhat familiar to Wyatt. He couldn't remember where he'd seen them before, but he knew those eyes.

They boy smiled at Wyatt. "Hello." Wyatt extended his hand. "I'm Wyatt." The other boy shook Wyatt's hand. "I'm Ben." Wyatt's hand tingled even after Ben had let go. Wyatt suddenly wondered why Ben was alone in this alley. Where were his parents? Ben laughed. Wyatt shot him a puzzled glance. "I was just wondering the same thing about you." Ben stated. Wyatt's expression changed to one of shock. The boy was definately magical. He had read his thoughts. "Yes I did." Ben continued. Wyatt shook his head. "Don't to that Ben. I don't like it." Ben lowered his dark head. "Sorry. Where are your parents?" Wyatt shrugged. "At home. I ran away." Ben grinned. "Me too. We can run away together." Wyatt wasn't sure if he could trust Ben, but just maybe this was the spell working.

The two boys sat down on a milk crate and began to talk. Ben told Wyatt how he'd been raised by strangers. He'd never really known his parents. His father was dead and his mother, a witch, did't want him. Wyatt told Ben about his family. How his mother and aunts were the famous Charmed Ones. And how he was the Chosen One as they had begun to call him. He recounted the tales his family told him of how he was born to do great things. Ben thought Wyatt's story was neat. Soon the two were discussing powers. Ben's powers were mind reading and the abilty to start fires by touching things. Wyatt thought they were pretty wimpy powers for a half demon but he didn't say so. Wyatt told Ben about orbing. "That sounds like fun!" Ben exclaimed. "Orb us somewhere." Wyatt knew he shouldn't. He should just go home, but he wanted to please his new friend. And so grabbing his friends hand, he orbed.

Back at the Manor:

Leo finally answered Paige's calls. When he appeared in front of her, he didn't recognise her. "Who are you?" Paige groaned. "You don't know me either? It's me Paige." Leo raised an eye brow at Piper, Phoebe, and Prue who just nodded and motioned for him not to say anything about it. Leo turned back to Paige. "So what's the problem?" Piper chimed in, "Wyatt orbed off somewhere and we can't find him." Leo didn't seem concerned at first. "Prue should be able to sense him." Prue shook her head. "I tried." Leo closed his eyes and mentally called to his son. There was no answer, no spark, nothing. Now deeply concerned Leo left the sisters to orb to the other elders and see what they knew.

Piper dropped onto the couch next to Paige. Paige put her arm around her sister. "It'll be ok. We'll find him Piper." It felt strange having Paige hug her when she looked like a stranger, but Piper didn't pull away for fear of hurting Paige's feelings. Phoebe called out to the two of them. "Would one of you come and take Chris to bed. He's getting heavy." Piper retrieved her youngest son from Phoebe and carried him upstairs. While she was tucking him into bed, Leo reappeared. "Well?" Piper inquired. Leo tried to hide his concern, but Piper could read him like a book. "Something's wrong isn't it?" Leo nodded. "I need to talk to you all together." They went down stairs to the diningroom where Phoebe and Paige were having a cup of tea. Piper sat down next to Phoebe. Leo paced nervously around the table. "Will you just say it already!" Paige ordered. Leo stopped pacing. "This is hard to explain and it's not going to be easy to hear. Wyatt is in the company of a demon child. They are orbing around the world. The elders are having trouble locating them. They believe the demon child he's with is......." Leo's voice trailed off. "Is what Leo?" Piper demanded. Leo took a deep breath. "Phoebe and Cole's demon son." Everyone's faces went pale. Phoebe was the first to speak. "How is that possible? I saw him be destroyed." Leo put his hand on Phoebe's shoulder. "I really don't know what happened. I only know that he survived somehow."

Coming soon......Chapter 3............

There will be more of Prue in the next chapter. I promise.
