Chris rolled over groaning a bit, everything around him was completely dark, the air smell of smoke and dirt. He tried to sit up but he felt a sharp pain go through his head. He inched toward the stairs of the basement but found her was on top of them, or what was left of them anyway. So Chris orbed up stairs to the attic...but he startlingly found that it wasn't there as he went plunging down toward the leveled house, he orbed himself to the ground at the last minute.

"Paige? Piper...Phoebe?" Chris called but he sunk back down on the ruins finding no one there, "Leo?"

Finally he got an answer, in a swirl of blue light, Leo appeared unscathed. He knelt down beside him and held his hands over top of him and Chris felt the wounds healing up, and his pain slowly disappearing. Leo then offer him a hand pulling him up.

"What the hell happened?" Chris asked.

"I think...I think the girls are um...dead," Leo said slowly holding back tears, "The other elders say that um we can fix this...That the balance of good and evil was thrown off, but not just by the death of the girls by something else too...if we find out what...and kill whatever caused this we can...reverse time..."

"Wouldn't make more sense to go back and time and kill this, thing?" Chris asked.

"I don't even know if whatever it is...can be killed...it might not be living...But the elders say there are other survivors that we need to find them..." Leo continued.

"Wait what about the book of shadows?" Chris asked.

"We should find that too..." Leo said.

He scanned the area quickly and saw no sign of it.

"Good Luck," Leo said quickly.

"Hey wait Where are you going?" Chris demanded.

"I told you we need to find the survivors...I'll bring them here...then come help when you find the book," Leo told him.

"Right," Chris said in aggravation.

Leo orbed out in another swirled of blue lights.

**************************************************************************

Leo had focused on the nearest living person, and he ended up in the middle of a dark room, he couldn't see anything. He threw off some light, which floated up to the ceiling and lit up the whole room. There were bodies everywhere, broken desks, smashed computers, odd looking weapons, demons.

"Where am I ?" Leo asked out loud.

There was a slight high pitched whining sound as if something was charging up, Leo jerked around and found himself staring down the barrel of a large gun.

"You've got less than five seconds to tell me who you are and how the hell you got here before I blow your brains all over the floor," said a male voice, with a slight accent Boston, or Chicago ,maybe.

"Whoa...Easy I'm only here to help...actually I'm here to get you..." Leo told him.

The guy looked a bit rough, he was bleeding from the side of his head, one of his eyes were swollen nearly shut, and he had wounds on his side and his clothes were torn.

"Okay who the hell are you?" he demanded.

"I'm Leo...Look just put down the gun all right?" Leo said gently, "What's your name?"

"Nick...Nick O'Malley," he said lowering his gun figuring there was no point in shooting the guy.

Leo moved slowly toward him, "Do you know what happened here?"

"Nope I just woke up and...everyone was dead..." Nick said slowly.

"How long have you been awake?" Leo asked him.

"At least Twelve hours, I've searched the place top to bottom, there's no one left," he said distantly.

"Well at least let me help you," Leo told him.

"I didn't ask for any help," Nick snapped.

"I didn't say you had a choice," Leo replied.

"Excuse me?" he demanded.

"I can heal your wounds," Leo said simply.

"You can heal my... What are you some kind of doctor?"

"Something like that...here," Leo said, reaching a hand toward him.

His hand began to glow and the wound on the side of Nick's head disappeared, and as he held his hand over Nick's eye, the swelling went down, and then disappeared. The pain to was completely gone, Nick's eyes widened in surprise.

"What the hell are you?" Nick said in slight awe.

"I guess kind of like an Angel," Leo said not wanting to explain completely yet, "We need to go before this place collapses on us."

Before he could protest, Leo put a hand on his shoulder and orbed him out of there.

************************************************************************** Chris sighed in frustration, if he could find what used to be the attic then he could find the book, but he couldn't find that part of the house. A swirl of blue lights appeared behind him, and Leo and another guy appeared.

"What the hell?" Nick snapped stumbling a bit.

"Sorry," Leo apologized, "Any luck Chris?"

"No...I think its your turn to look for it..." Chris huffed.

"Where the hell are we?" Nick asked.

"San Francisco, California or What's left of it..." Chris filled in, "I'm Chris."

"Nick," he said, looking around slowly, with a suspicious look on his face.

"Go find more people, and bring them here, I'll look for the book," Leo said.

"You want to come?" Chris asked Nick.

Nick shrugged, seeming a bit depressed, but Chris could understand why...it was amazing that he seemed only a bit depressed.

"Why not?" Nick shrugged again.

Chris put a hand on his shoulder and focusing on another living person. Chris orbed them away, in a swirl of pale blue lights.
