Umm.... I kinda didn't like some parts in this chapter. You guys tell me what you think in your reviews. ;) Also, I have about two chapters in the P&L story I began the other day. I'll post it after I get about 4 chapters written. And I got another idea the other day for another story, so now I'll be writing 3 stories.

I don't own Charmed, yada, yada, yadaaa!

Seconds after Lascari ordered his minions Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Leo where fighting for their lives. Leo was tackling two of them while Paige tried to keep them from getting to her by orbing around the room. Phoebe found her kick box training very helpful because she could easily doge and block all the swings and kicks they hurled at her. Piper in the other hand, with her power of freezing and combusting molecules kept the minions at bay from her and the baby. Lascari saw that his minions were failing so he decided this would be the perfect time to bring in his backup.

Chris who had gone unconscious from trying desperately to untie his bindings and being too weary finally awoke from the sounds of the entire racket. He could see his family beating the other demons and a smile crawled to his face. Piper had blown up another minion before she saw Chris. She took the opportunity that no other demon was coming after her to go and try to get him free.

"Mu-," Chris stopped himself from saying mum after he remembered that Leo, his father, was still in the same room, "Piper! Move the crystals!"

Lascari turned quickly toward the sound of Chris' voice. He saw Piper trying to get Chris out of his cage and looked confused.

"Mu?" he whispered quietly, "what does that mean?" He though for awhile while looking at the witches and his demons fight. Then, from Piper to Chris, and from Chris to Leo.

"That's it! Our little future whitelighter here is the future son of the Elder and the witch! So if I just kill the witch I can kill him. The Power of Three will be broken and I would get a very good reward from the source. Everything works out this way," Lascari though as he kept watching the scene in front of him with pleasure and delight.

Suddenly, the darklighter that Lascari had contracted orbed in.

"I'm here, now what do you want me to do?" he asked.

The demon looked at the darklighter and chuckled, his plan was working.

"Shoot the Elder first so he can't heal anyone else," he pointed to Leo, "and then, shoot the pregnant witch." The darklighter looked surprised and confused.
"Why the witch?"
"Because she is carrying a half breed, you shoot her, she dies along with the kid inside her," he explained as though talking to a mere child. "Sounds like a good enough reason. This is going to be fun," he laughed and summoned his crossbow.

The crossbow's arrows are tipped with poison that can kill anyone with whitelighter blood. Draklighters are the exact opposite of whitelighters and go after future whitelighters. The darklighter aimed and fired.

Meanwhile, the group had only 3 more demons left.
"Okay, let's finish these guys," said Paige as she saw the demons standing up from where they have been kicked to by the girls and Leo.

None of them notice the crossbow being fired until Leo suddenly yelled in pain. His scream startled the Charmed Ones and Chris and all were surprised to see an arrow had penetrated his shoulder and blood began to spring from his wound.

"Leo!" they all screamed and ran to help him.

Chris looked around trying to find the source of the arrow and spotted both evils. His face controlled with anger. Suddenly, he got a shock of energy and started to pull and struggle with the ropes. He got one hand free and started to work on the other. He looked again at the demon and darklighter when he saw the darklighter begin to aim again. He saw who he was aiming for and screamed in horror:

"MOM!"

Piper looked at Chris and saw him in tears trying desperately to get free then quickly turned to where his gaze was. All she saw was a line fly across the room and the rest was darkness. Chris had gotten himself free and ran trying to get out of the cage. As he touched the cage an electric shock hit him, but that wasn't gonna stop him. "Mom!" he yelled again as he again threw himself at the cage.

The shock threw him back but he persisted and again hit the cage. He banged his fists into the cage and screamed in rage. Tears ran freely from his eyes and unto the dirty floor, but suddenly he grabbed his stomach in pain. The last thing he heard before darkness over came him was the sinister laughter from both the darklighter and Lascari.

Leo was on the floor barely conscious when he heard what he though was the word 'mum.' He looked up from his spot on the ground to see Chris banging and screaming.

"Who is he referring to? Mum?" he wondered.

He was becoming more and more tired the second, but he took a second to glance at were Chris was looking and saw Piper on the floor a darklighter's arrow in her chest, unconscious, heavily bleeding, and barely breathing.

"Piper," he mumbled as he tried to crawl to her but his tries were in vain.

Then it hit him, full force, Chris was screaming for Piper, he was screaming for his mum. He tried to progress everything, but he was too weary. Soon darkness succumbed him too.
