Chapter 6
The Charmed Ones and Leo watched as demons continued to shimmer into the cave.
"Uh, Paige...by any chance, do we have enough potion for all of them?" Phoebe whispered to her.
Paige glared at Phoebe. "What do you think?"
Zeric stepped forward out of the crowd of demons. "Ah, the Charmed Ones, finally. Such a. ...Pleasure, to meet you."
"Leo, quickly you and Chris get out of here!" Piper said as calmly as she could.
"What about you, Phoebe and Paige" he asked.
"We'll be fine, we'll look out for Paige, but we need her here, now...GO!"
Leo took Chris' hand and orbed out, but the orbs bounced off of the roof of the cave and Leo landed with Chris in a heap on the floor.
Zeric rolled his eyes in a sarcastic manner. "You hardly expected me to kidnap your kid and then let you all orb in and out as simple as that?" he said and waving his hand, the entrance further up the stairs was magically sealed off.
Piper, Phoebe and Paige stared at the entrance, then Leo and Chris, and then at each other. Piper was the first to speak.
"You son of a...." she started.
"Ah, ah, ah. I wouldn't finish that sentence if I were you..." he said, forming an energy ball in his hand.
"Try me!" she spat. He threw the energy ball at her, but Piper, ready for this, froze it. She raised an eyebrow at him.
"Am I meant to be impressed by that?" he asked. He snapped his fingers and three demons stepped forward and threw three more fireballs at Phoebe, Paige and Piper. Piper, once again froze it. Phoebe levitated out of the way to avoid it, and Paige sent it back to its owner and watched as he erupted in flames.
Zeric glared at them. "You may well be able to defend yourselves, but what about them?" he nodded in the direction of Leo and Chris.
"Don't you dare!" Piper said raising her hands, threateningly.
Zeric laughed and mocked, "I'm so scared, she's raising her hands at me!" He threw an energy ball in the direction of Leo and Chris. Leo quickly grabbed Chris and dived out of the way.
Piper raised her hands and gestured, she blew up two of the demons next to Zeric.
Fireballs, energy balls, and other various forms of these powers were aimed at The Charmed Ones, each of them being cleverly dodged, used against their owners or frozen.
Meanwhile, Leo, trying to get Chris to safety, thought that even though they can't orb out of the cave, maybe they could orb inside the cave. He took Chris' hand and concentrated on the opposite side of the cave. Surrounded by the silver and blue orbs, they arrived safely on the other side of the cave, unnoticed. Leo spotted a small opening, not big enough for him, but good for Chris.
"Chris, will you be a brave little guy and go stay in there for Daddy?" he asked his son.
"But Dad! What about Mommy, Paige and Phoebe? I wanna help too!" he asked.
"Even at 5 he wants to help." he thought, smiling secretly to himself. "No Chris, not this time it's too dangerous." He replied to his son "Please, just do this for me?" he asked Chris.
Chris, looked at his dad and gave in. He climbed into the opening and hid in there. Leo, seeing Chris was safe in there, turned around. He saw that the girls were fighting well.
But he didn't see Zeric step up behind him and shoot him with a darklighter arrow. Leo turned around and fell to the ground and looked up at Zeric. Zeric smiled evilly, aimed at him again, and shot once more. Leo lost all consciousness...
