comes back. But they are all written and I will post them as soon as I
can!! Thanks! Enjoy! ~abs
"Remind me, why are we doing this right now? We only have four more hours and two more ingredients to get before we do this ritual," Chris growled.
"Because that vision almost killed me and I want to know what was behind it," Chloe stopped in the hall and turned Chris towards her, "Gideon has something to do with it, Chris, I know he does. And I think that vision was given to me to help us help Wyatt. Isn't that why you're here?"
"Do you have a plan? Or are we just going to barge in and demand an answer?" Chris kidded as he and Chloe resumed walking back down the hall towards Gideon's office.
"Well, I was thinking you could lift him up telekinetically, and I'll throw a couple of fireballs at him until he talks," Chris looked at her wide-eyed implying he didn't think that was the wisest of ideas. "I'm kidding. I was thinking we could use this," she said pulling a purple potion in a vial out of her cloak. Chris took the vial from her hand. "That's yours and this is mine," Chloe finished pulling a red potion out.
"What are they?"
"The invisibility potion," Chloe smiled proud of her idea, "I was up late last night reading and I thought these would be useful. So I made myself a vial with my own blood and bottled the one leftover with Leo's blood. We're going into Gideon's office invisible. And you're going to get us in."
Chris and Chloe got within fifty yards of the office, joined hands, and poured their respective potions over their heads—both becoming invisible. "So we're not talking," Chloe instructed Chris as she felt a punch on her arm. "I'll take that as a 'duh'," she whispered, "all thoughts."
*Don't let go of my hand,* Chris pulled Chloe with him down the hall. They reached Gideon's door and could hear two voices within the room. Chris placed his hand on the wall which took on a blurred haze as he and Chloe stepped through the wall, a bookshelf, and into the office. Gideon was seated inside talking with Sigmund, one of the professors at the school.
"The top was destroyed," Gideon was twirling a pen in his hand, "We're going to have to try something else."
*I told you he knows! We're getting closer, I want to see what's on his desk,* Chloe pulled Chris towards Gideon's desk.
"Do you have any other ideas, sir?" Sigmund questioned.
"Not currently," Gideon's lips curled, "but we've got to do something to get in his head. Find out what all is in there."
*They have to be talking about Wyatt* Chris's hand tightened around Chloe's. She knew he was getting mad.
*There's some sort of star chart on his desk. We have to get closer,* Chloe inched closer to Gideon's desk.
*Watch out! If you get too close he is going to sense me. You might be immune to being sensed, but I'm not,* Chris warned.
Chloe got close enough to see a date on the star chart that was in just two weeks, *It's your birthday, Chris.* Chris pushed towards her inadvertently causing Chloe to fall towards Gideon's desk, knocking a paper on the floor. *Out, now!* she ordered.
"Did you see that? There's someone in here," Gideon stood up. Chris pulled Chloe back towards the wall and they both fell through as Chloe shimmered them out so Gideon would not be able to sense them. Gideon went to his door and opened it, looking both ways, "Curious," he mumbled.
Chloe and Chris shimmered back to the door that lead to the manor and ran through it. Once safely within the manner, they began to talk over each other drawing the attention of Paige and Phoebe. "What was that? Are we sure they are talking about Wyatt?" Chloe began.
"They had my birthday on a star chart? Why do they need my birthday? Are you sure it was my birthday?" Chris talked over her.
"Yes, I am sure it was your birthday! Unless you have somehow changed that—oh, weird!"
Paige and Phoebe rushed to the foyer where they could hear Chris's and Chloe's voices, but couldn't see them. They both looked at each other as Chris and Chloe continued to banter about what they had discovered.
"This can't be happening. Not right now. There is way too much happening right now. I need to sit," Chloe was almost panicked. Phoebe and Paige saw an indentation form on the bench in front of the stairs.
"We've got to raise your dad from the dead, kill a psycho demon, and stop my big brother from turning evil... that's nothing!" sarcasm filled Chris's voice as a thud was heard on the steps which could only be inferred as Chris sitting.
Paige decided it was time to figure out why she couldn't see her niece and nephew, "Where are you two?" A fireball formed about a foot above the bench as Chris orbed out and back in on the steps. "Ok, now that we have the where settled? How about... why can't we see you and what in the world are you going back and forth about?"
"Do you want to tell them or should I?" Chris posed.
"I'm speechless," Chloe put out her fireball.
"How about first becoming visible again, please," Phoebe pleaded.
"Oh yeah, right. What was hidden from my sight, now bring back into the light," Chloe chanted as she and Chris materialized in front of Phoebe and Paige.
"Much better. Chris, you were about to explain," Phoebe urged.
"We were visiting Piper and Wyatt at the Magic School, getting them to bless the bag, when we..." he paused, "fell into a lead on who might, and I have to emphasize might, be behind turning Wyatt."
"That's great news!" Paige exclaimed, but noticing Chris's and Chloe's frowns added, "that's not great news?"
The cousins exchanged looks. Chloe looked back to Paige, "Maybe. We need to look into it further."
"What was all this about Chris's birthday?" Phoebe asked, "Somebody ranted something about Chris's birthday being in two weeks? Are you serious?"
"Yeah, as long as everything goes according to schedule. My birthday is in two weeks," Chris informed his aunts.
"Awh, that's great!" Phoebe cooed and walked over, cupped Chris's face in her hands, "We're going to get to meet baby you! Oh, Paige, we need to prepare. Get the birthing ball, the medical bag, all our midwife stuff from last year," Paige nodded her head in obvious agreement. Chloe giggled.
"Ladies, can we stay on task here?" Chris stood up infuriated. "We have a huge 'to do' list for this evening and now," he checked his watch, "only about two and a half hours to get it all started and done. Chloe, go get what you have left to get," Chloe shimmered out, "Paige, I'm going to need to talk to you. Phoebe, do you mind calling Leo and going to get my mom and Wyatt from the Magic School?"
"Dad," Phoebe nodded and walked towards the door that was still standing on the landing. Then she added a loud, "Leo!" as he orbed in she grabbed his arm, "Come on, you and I are on a mission," he looked bewildered back at Paige and Chris as Phoebe marched him through the door.
"What do we need to talk about?" Paige asked once Phoebe and Leo were gone.
"Balthazar flesh," Chris stated looking Paige directly in the eyes.
"Whose flesh?" Paige's mouth dropped.
"Remind me, why are we doing this right now? We only have four more hours and two more ingredients to get before we do this ritual," Chris growled.
