"Oh my God," said Patricia, unable to move her eyes from the spot where she has last seen her mom and aunts.
"I can't sense them," said Wyatt, worried.
"Me neither," informed Chris after trying. "Patricia, you got anything?"
"I can barely sense outside the house!" she said. "But, no, nothing," she added quietly after seeing the stern looks on her brothers' faces.
"Which means they are not anywhere in San Francisco," concluded Chris.
"This is all my fault!" said Patricia, tears welling up in her eyes.
"What do you mean? How can it be?" asked Wyatt soothingly.
"I was just coming in from the kitchen and I touched the door frame when I had a premonition it was of that demon taking them. I had barely time to recover when I saw the demon. I sent him across the room but then he appeared behind mom and Aunt Paige and Aunt Phoebe and took them before I could do anything else!" she said on the verge of tears.
"Trish, it isn't your fault," said Chris, hugging his sister. "We saw it too and we couldn't do anything. There's nothing that you could have done differently to change it. Besides, it's not like we are not going to get them back."
"What's going on?" asked Adam, walking into the hall and seeing Chris hugging Patricia who was now quietly sobbing into his top.
"We have a problem," said Wyatt. "A demon has taken the girls."
"What? When? Where did he take them? What demon? Is he in the book?" quizzed Adam, panic evident on his face.
"We haven't checked yet," said Wyatt. "Trish, is there anything else you saw in your premonition?"
"There was one thing," she said, removing herself from Chris' embrace. She wiped away the remaining tears and turned to face everyone else. "Once the demon shimmered out with them, I saw a flash of blue light that they were in. Like a time portal or something," said Patricia.
"A time portal?" asked Wyatt.
Chris frowned in concentration, why did this sound familiar to him, he was sure he had read something about this. Suddenly he turned and made a break for the stairs, sprinting all the way to the attic.
"What was that?" asked Adam, staring after him.
"He's figured something out. I really wish he would just tell us rather than make us follow him to make him share his thoughts of wisdom," said Wyatt heading up to the attic after him.
When he arrived in the attic, Chris was frantically flipping through the pages, deep in concentration. "Ugh I can't find it!" Frustrated, he let out a groan before rolling his shoulders back ad closing his eyes. He spread his hands over the book and began wiggling his fingers. The pages of the book turned automatically and when Chris opened his eyes he smiled. He looked down at the page he had been looking for and looked about, generally pleased with himself.
"Woah, how do you do that?" asked Wyatt impressed.
Chris shrugged, "I just sorta concentrate on what I'm looking for and use my whitelighter half to sense it and telekinesis to find it."
"Cool, I'll have to try that someday."
"Boys, focus," said Adam who was pacing nervously.
"Ok, so when I was going through the book the other day I read about this demon Dermairon, who wasn't affected by time. And looky looky," he said turning the book around. "Is it just me or is this our demon?"
"It's not just you," said Patricia, examining the picture of Dermairon.
"Dermairon," she read aloud. "One of the oldest and most powerful demons in the magical world. It cannot be determined how long he has been around as he is not affected by time, well that's just great!" said Patricia.
"Like the most powerful demon ever and no charmed ones. Fan-bloody-tastic!"
Wyatt continued reading, "Because of this he has the power to travel though time as he wishes, having the ability to open random yet accurate time portals at will without spells or potions. There is no known vanquishing spell or potion as there has never been any witches powerful enough to defeat him."
Wyatt gulped nervously, "That means we can't vanquish him! What are we going to do? We don't even have the power of three! We are underage witches!"
"Dude! You are getting hysterical, don't make me slap you," said Patricia.
"Sorry," said Wyatt, bashfully.
"So how exactly does this help us find the girls?" asked Adam.
"Well we can't sense them, something which we are pretty good at, and we are dealing with a demon that can travel through time," said Chris.
He looked around but everyone stared blankly at him.
"The demon took them back through time," he said spelling it out for them.
"Why?" asked Patricia.
"Because he can," said Adam.
"Yeah, that and they won't any of their powers in a different time. Only one set of them can have their powers in the same time which means that their past or future selves will," said Chris.
"Ah," said Wyatt finally clicking. "That kinda makes sense."
"What do you mean 'kinda'? It makes complete and utter sense!" said Chris, slightly irritated that anyone dared to question his theory.
"Also, he knew that you would be looking for them, so by taking them out of your reach, he probably thought that he wouldn't have any worries," said Patricia.
"Well, he thought wrong," said Chris, going through the book again.
"So what exactly are we going to do?" asked Wyatt who was unsure how they were going to save the sisters when they were not even in the same time as them.
"We are going to do a little time travelling," said Chris simply.
"What?!" exclaimed Wyatt. "How? There isn't that sort of spell in the book and even if there was we don't even know where in time they are!"
Decisively, Patricia walked over to her brother and slapped him hard across the face. "You really don't handle pressure all that well do you?" she asked.
"What was that for, I doubt your mother would approve of that," came Jason's voice from the door.
"We heard people going to the attic, was there a demon attack?" asked Petulia.
"What's going on? Where's mom?" asked Polly, popping up behind her cousin.
"Oh nothing," said Patricia, offhandedly. "I was just slapping Wyatt who was freaking out because he and Chris are going to have to travel though time to save our respective mothers who have been taken by the oldest and most powerful demon that is described in the Book of Shadows."
"What?" the three of them yelled simultaneously.
"Don't make me slap you too," she threatened.
"A demon took Phoebe and the girls?" asked Jason, distractedly.
"Yes, one that can travel though time," said Adam. "Don't worry, they'll be ok, the boys will get them back. You said it yourself, Chris is super witch and Wyatt has enough powers to blow a whole though time if it meant getting the girls back."
"Ok, so here's what we are going to do," said Chris rubbing his hands together. "Girls, you are going to need to pack some stuff, we don't know how long we'll be gone for. Adam, you and Jason take the three girls back to your family house, it has charms and stuff they'll be safe there."
"Why can't we stay here?" asked Polly.
"Because demons attack here all the time and with no charmed ones, it's not such a good idea to stay here now is it?" asked Chris quite patronisingly.
"No, no definitely not," agreed Jason, making everyone give him a small smile.
"Patricia, I'm going to need you to go back to the hall and see if you can get another premonition, one that might tell us to where or should I say to when exactly the girls have been taken, I need to know if it was past or future. Wyatt and I are going to work on two spells, one to open a time portal and one to make sure we keep our powers. Ok everyone on board?"
"Wow, you are slowly but surely turning into Piper," commented Adam.
"Let's not panic until I start obsessively cleaning the house," said Chris. "Ok everyone, break," he said before going back to the Book of Shadows.
"So, what spell do you want me to work on?" asked Wyatt, as Chris handed him a notebook and a pen.
"Pick one, we need one that will ensure we keep our powers in a different time and the time travel one needs to bring us to the manor in whatever year we end up. Problem is that we won't know exactly when we have to . . ."
"I think I'll work on us keeping our powers," said Wyatt.
Chris grinned. Wyatt may have all the powers but Chris was the spell writer in the house. Even in the most stressful of situations, Chris could just start rhyming and it was unusual that something went wrong.

"Chris! Chris!" said Patricia running into the attic excitedly. "I did it, I got a premonition when I wanted one!"
"What did you see?" asked Wyatt.
"Uh I saw them in the time portal, it was going backwards."
"Are you sure?" asked Chris.
"Positive," Patricia said confidently.
"Good, ok then this spell should work," said Chris, tearing the page he had been working on out of the notebook.
Wyatt and Patricia walked over and read the spell. "That's pretty good," said Wyatt.
"Yeah, I surprised even myself with this one," admitted Chris, cheerfully.
"Your modesty overwhelms me," said Wyatt. "But you should put it in the Book of Shadows when we get back, it is definitely some of your better work."
Pleased with this compliment, Chris read over Wyatt's spell. "Uh, it should do," he said unsurely.
"What do you mean 'should do'? I worked really hard on this spell!" said Wyatt irritated.
"Ok them, let's get this show on the road!" said Chris avoiding the subject.
"You guys all ready to go?" asked Wyatt as the others appeared in the attic to wish them good luck. They nodded.
"Here," said Chris, walking over to Polly and handing her the chalk. To open up the portal we need the triquetra to concentrate the power at one place. You are the artistic one after all."
Smiling, she walked over to the clearest attic wall and began drawing the triquetra.
"Ok, we should probably say the spell so we keep our powers," said Wyatt, picking up the piece of paper he had been scribbling on.
"Yeah, it's a little weird though, why did you do it as a binding spell rather than-" started Chris.
"Yo, spell boy, shut up and say the damn spell," said Wyatt.
They began reading together in unison:
"As I travel back in time,
Let me keep what I mine.
In that time and in those hours,
I bind to me my wiccan powers."
"Well?" asked Jason.
"We won't be able to tell if it has worked until we get there," said Wyatt, with his back turned as Chris mouthed to the rest of the group the words 'I doubt it will.' Wyatt spin round when he saw the grins breaking out on his family's faces but by that time all he got was a cheshire grin.
"Finished!" said Polly, stepping down of the stool she had been standing on.
"Ok the, I guess this is goodbye," said Chris awkwardly. The two Halliwell brothers went round and hugged there family, receiving many "Be careful's" and "try not to get killed's."
"Bring them back to us," said Adam.
"Will try," said Wyatt looking him in the eye.
"Try not to do anything stupid, ok?" said Patricia when hugging Chris.
"Let's not hope for miracles," said Wyatt.
"Do you wanna go back in time or not? Cause I'm sure Adam or even Patricia wouldn't mind going!" said Chris, standing up straight and putting his arm around his sister.
"Who's the prophesised one here? If anyone isn't fit to go out of the two of us I think it's you little brother."
"I sure as hell would have liked to see you write a spell that would get you back in time! Please remember that you were revising for some science or the other I was in the attic going through the book or practising spells. You, would probably have landed us like next door five minutes ago! Your problem is that you are beginning to believe your own hype, 'O prophesised one,'" finished Chris, with a mock bow.
"Boys, boys, do try to get along," commented Adam. "Cause without the Charmed Ones, neither of you are going to get any better. You two better get going."
"What do we tell them? I mean we are both only toddlers, there is like no way that they are going to know who we are, never mind trust us," said Wyatt.
"We tell them nothing," said Chris firmly. "If they knew who we were they would only as questions about their lives and the less they know about the future the better, or else it could be altered and we may not be coming back to the world that we know."
"To come back you gotta actually go first," said Patricia.
Grinning, they both began reading Chris' spell.
"Hear these words,
Hear the rhyme,
Heed the hope within my mind,
Send me back to where I'll find,
What I wish in space in time."
Suddenly, the room filled with a blue glow as the time portal opened.
"See you guys later," said Chris casually heading towards the portal.
"Uh Chris, I've done something stupid," said Wyatt. "Nothing too serious, a little, like your kind of stupid actually," rambled Wyatt, fidgeting and not looking his brother in the eye.
"Wyatt, now is like, so not the time," said Chris going through the portal.
'Fair enough, you can kill me later,' thought Wyatt, waving goodbye to his family and stepping through the wall and back to 2004.

A/N: and yes, that was the spell that Chris originally used to go back to the past but I thought that he might as well have written it.
Sickleword: see, I continued! Anything to keep the reviewers happy.
NoAlias: Thank you! hope you didn't feel that it was too long a wait, it was only like, 3 days after all!
Calen: Ooh, you are mean. I respect that and admire your line of thinking that appears to be so similar to me own. So don't you worry, there are a few surprises in store for the girls! (laughs at idea that everything would go to plan.)
Wickedwms: thank god you like my chosen pairing! I was beginning to think I was alone! Though I'm not sure it's going to stay like that, (hint hint)
Buffspike: isn't he just? I'm like thinking about him like that as I'm writing it . . . there's like drool over my keyboard! (I should really clean that up.) but thanks for the reassurance about the who brother bond thing, makes me feel better.
Anso: as far as I'm concerned it was the smart ass comments that made the character of Chris so good on the show. So I'm trying to carry that over into this story, thanks for noticing.
Random insane person: have I mentioned how much I like your name? lol, and well you did say it before but I don't mind you saying it again!
Flephanie: I think it might just be the longest review I've ever received! So what part of the title tipped you off to the fact that we were going to go BACK TO THE PAST? Lol, only joking, wow I really shouldn't mock reviewers! I'm glad you like k/w cause for the moment its going to be like that. I already have Chris' reaction written out cause I knew it had to be good. It just like popped into my head during double physics (snore) and I started laughing. There was staring.
Kc: why thank you, will do.
Kata Malfoy: thanks, I know he should! Damn workaholics!
Mabel: we'll see, mabel, just mabel. Lol, sorry I couldn't help myself, I honestly did start writing 'maybe' but then . . . yeah sorry. I'll take my medication before responding to reviews next time. (hangs head in shame.)
Ellie: thanks, you'll get to see their reactions in the next chapter which hopefully should be up over the weekend.

Kc: why thank you, will do.
Kata Malfoy: thanks, I know he should! Damn workaholics!
Mabel: we'll see, mabel, just mabel. Lol, sorry I couldn't help myself, I honestly did start writing 'maybe' but then . . . yeah sorry. I'll take my medication before responding to reviews next time. (hangs head in shame.)
Ellie: thanks, you'll get to see their reactions in the next chapter which hopefully should be up over the weekend.
