Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed. I don't own much of anything, really. I don't even own the computer I'm writing this on.

Chapter 5:

Chris slowly walked into the room, barely believing his good fortune. He didn't know how he had gotten this new power, but it was certainly useful.

He listened and watched, memorizing how to scry.

Once he was done, he slowly walked back to his room. This was just so much to process. His family had this whole- life, that they had kept secret from him.

He slid into the room. "Okay, I know how to find Wyatt."

Jaclyn jumped. "Chris?"

He had forgotten that she couldn't see him. He concentrated, on being visible, and he was. "I got a new power, I can become invisible."

"Wow, that is so cool! That way, we can rescue Wyatt, but make him think that he escaped himself, so they don't find out we know about magic." Jaclyn said.

"Why shouldn't they know?" Prue wondered.

"Because it wouldn't be fun anymore. They would make us do boring stuff. This way, we can do whatever we want," Chris told her.

"But I don't even have any powers! Why should I care?" Prue complained.

"Well, they were talking about a Book of Shadows, maybe we could look in that and it will say how you can get your powers." Chris suggested.

"Good idea," Jaclyn told him. "Do you know where it is?"

"No, but it's probably in the attic, cause it's always locked, and it's the only room I haven't been in." Chris said.

"But it's locked! How do we get in?" Prue said.

"I'll orb us in," Chris told her.

"Oh. Right." Prue was still getting used to the idea of magic. She always sort believed in it, but to be thrust head first into a world of witches and demons, was a bit disconcerting.

Chris took their hands, and they disappeared in a swirl of pretty blue lights.

When they reappeared in the attic, Prue put one hand on a table to steady herself. "Wow that was weird- and a bit cool."

"You'll get used to it," Chris assured her.

He looked around the attic, amazed. There were all these little bottles of strange substances with strange names.

He walked to the center of the room, where an old book was resting on a stand. There was a triquatra engraved on its surface.

He moved to open it, but before he could, the pages turned, blown by an unseen wind. He bent over the book and read the page in front of him.

It was a recipe for a potion, called "To Bind a Witch's Powers" There was also a recipe for its counterpart, the unbinding potion.

"They must have used this on you," Chris told Prue. He walked around the room, stopping in front of a shelf marked "Binding Potions" There were names, his, Prue's, and Paul's.

There were one bottle each above Prue's and Paul's names, and two above his. He guessed that meant that their powers had been bound, but not his.

I wonder why? He shook the thought off. If the binding potions had already been used, the remaining ones had to be the unbinding potions. "Prue? Come here a second."

She walked over. "Yeah, what is it?"

He uncorked her bottle. "Drink this, it'll give you your powers back."

"How do you know?" She eyed the bottle warily. "It could be poison or something."

"Do you want magic powers? Then drink it." Chris handed her the vial.

She had always been a thrill-seeker, taking risks. This was no exception. She took a deep breath and downed the pink liquid.

She glowed for a second, the returned to normal. "Wow, that was cool. I wonder what my powers are?"

Chris pocked Paul's potion, then turned to her. "I don't know, and you probably won't find out right away. I had mine for years, but only found out about them recently."

"Oh." She was a bit disappointed.

Jaclyn was looking through the Book. "Chris, are these the demons that took Wyatt?"

He came over, looked at the page. "Yeah. They're called, Hinval demons. It says they are very powerful, and have a special powder that can render anyone unconscious. That must have been what they used on Wyatt."

"So how do we kill them?" Prue asked eagerly.

"There's a potion you can throw at them." Chris read the ingredients, and they luckily had all of them.

They lit the portable stove, and placed a cauldron on top of it.

Chris was a little uncomfortable. "I fell like I should be wearing a pointy hat and cackling or something." He laughed nervously.

"Those are merely stereotypes spread by bad movies." Jaclyn said, all businesslike. She put each item into the cauldron, stirring it and adding a bit of this, a pinch of that.

"Wow, you're really good at that," Prue said.

"I like to cook," Jaclyn explained, "I'm an expert at following recipes."

Prue walked around the room, looking at all the magical items. How had they concealed something like this from her? Why had she never suspected?

Why did they think that keeping this a secret would make my life any better?

Did they not trust me? Did my parents not trust me? How much does Dad know? She wondered. She knew that he wasn't a Charmed witch, but he could be magical in some other way.

Or he could be totally normal.

If he is magical, I would have some of his powers. They could be anything.

Chris was leafing through the book, reading entries on demons. Finally something caught his eye.

It was one of the demons Chris had seen.

"Darklighter," the page said, "these are the opposite of whitelighters, and the poison on their arrows is fatal to all with whitelighter blood."

There was also a spell to vanquish them. Chris copied it down, then walked over to Jaclyn. "How's the potion going?"

"It's pretty much done, now we just need to put it in vials."

"Here's some," Prue said, coming over, holding several of the vials in her hands. She set them carefully on the table,

Once they each had enough vials, Chris set up the spell he had found in the Book.

Jaclyn and Prue held on to his arms as he turned invisible, then said the spell.

"Blood to blood I call to thee Blood to blood take us to thee."

He took a knife and made a small cut in his finger, alolowing the blood to drip down.

The three children disappeared in a pretty swirl of white lights.
