Before Chris could react, Mel launched the fireball across the room. The
instant it left her
hand, Piper unfroze. It was a natural reaction for her to quickly blow up the fireball just
before it hit Chris. Suddenly, she realized that people weren't in the same spot they were
a second before.
"What the hell is going on here?" shouted Piper, ramming her hands onto her hips, but no
one had to answer her question. She figured it out as soon as she saw her firstborn son in
Melinda's arms.
"Hi Mom," said Melinda. Then, flashing a cheesy grin, she orbed out.
"Chris! How did she do that?" Piper demanded, realizing her sisters were still frozen.
"She's pretty damn powerful. That's all I can say."
"She froze me!" Piper was pissed. "Did she tell you anything? How long was I frozen?
Arrrgh!" She flung her hand towards her sisters and unfroze them. They looked just as
confused as Piper had. Phoebe looked to Paige, who just shrugged her shoulders and
motioned for her sister to come closer to her. Phoebe did so.
"You were frozen for about ten minutes," said Chris. Then he told her everything Mel
had said to him.
"Do you think she was telling the truth?" Piper asked.
"Most likely. She planned on killing me anyway. She wouldn't have any reason to
lie. Look at the bright side. You unfroze yourself."
"How is that the bright side?" Piper inquired, squinting her eyes.
"Because that means we might have a chance. She's your daughter, which means you
obviously understand how her abilities work. Probably more so than she does. She
takes after you," Chris grinned.
"Not funny. But you have a point." Piper looked to her sisters, who suddenly bolted up
the stairs. "And just where are you off to in such a hurry?"
Paige turned around so fast that she lost her footing. She grabbed for the
railing, missed, and instead grabbed Phoebe. They both went tumbling down the stairs.
"Ow!" cried Phoebe.
Paige groaned. Chris stifled a laugh.
Picking herself up off the floor, Paige said, "While you two were lost in your own
conversation, Phoebe and I were writing a spell to kill that nasty little bitch."
"A spell?" asked Piper.
"We figure a spell and a vanquishing potion might do it," explained Phoebe.
"She's right," added Chris. "Mel said that a spell and a potion would change Wyatt back
into a girl. A spell and a potion could probably kill her, too."
"Exactly," said Paige.
"She wore a vile around her neck. I'll be you anything that's the potion that she plans to
use on Wyatt," continued Chris. "Something like that is too precious to leave lying
around. She'd keep it on her." He stood up. "First, we make a spell and a vanquishing
potion. Then, we find her, freeze her, steal the potion and the spell, kill her, and turn
Wyatt back into a girl."
Paige raised her eyebrows. "Just like that?"
"That easy, eh?" said Phoebe.
Chris shrugged. "It's worth a shot."
Suddenly, Piper screamed. "Oh my God!"
"What?" asked Chris and Paige at the same time.
"Wyatt! She took Wyatt! When she orbed out, she had Wyatt!"
Chris ran to his mother and tried to get her to sit down. "Mom, he's safe. Think about it.
She won't turn him into a girl until she's positive I'm dead. I'm sure of that. She
wouldn't want to risk me taking him back after she's changed him. She won't kill him
because that would literally be suicide. He's safe, I promise. She may be evil, but she's
not heartless."
Piper sat down, took a deep breath, and sighed.. "Alright. You have a point. But we need
to find her as soon as possible."
"Piper's right. We can't just wait for her to attack again," said Phoebe.
"She wants me dead. She'll return before nightfall," said Chris.
"How do you know?" asked Paige.
"Because she's my sister, and she's one of the most impatient people I've ever met."
Chris grinned.
"Then we wait," said Piper.
