CHAPTER III: Kidnapping Babies

-"Can I help you with anything?" She asked.

-"That was cool" He said smiling, pointing at the spot where the demon used to be. Somehow this girl looked familiar, and he couldn't quite place her.

-"uh?"

-"They whole demon hitting himself against the wall" he said laughing a little

-"Yeah.. they should do it more often... I personally think, all demons need a little hitting on the head, once in a while" She smiled at him.

-"I couldn't agree more" he smiled widely.

-"So honestly.. you orbed all the way over here, just to watch me mind control a demon into hitting himself into the wall?"

-"So you can control minds?"

-"I am a telepath, a kind of weird one. So I can do the whole telepathy thing, I can read minds, like a lot of other telepaths, I can also canalize powers, like a few telepaths and empaths and I can also control minds, that is basically the only weird thing"

-"Cool.. I met a lot of telepath with the other abilities, I haven't met someone that can control minds, before"

-"Love, look, I would love to stay here and chat with you. But last time I check we were not at "the witches bar" were we can use, which are your powers? As a pick up line. So honestly, unless there is something you need. I have to go.. So.. can I help you with something?"

-"I was hoping you could" he said Shyly, she was a small girl, but seemed to have a very strong personality "See, my brother has been kidnapped and they told me your sister has been kidnapped too, and that you might know something about it"

-"Is your brother powerful?" She asked serious and tough, yet concerned.

-"What does it matter?"

-"Do you want my help or not, is he powerful?"

-"Very, he is the double blessed, if you ever heard of it."

-"Son of the charmed one. But they are barely thirty or so. How..?"

-"I am from the future, long story. Now.. can you help me?"

-"Ohh yeah I heard of you, you are the guy that came from the future, to save Wyatt from turning evil. Yeah, I am going to help you, of course! I was just asking if your brother was powerful because I have the hunch this group is only after powerful babies. But well.. your brother is definitely powerful!"

-"You have a hunch?" He said disturbed.

-"Well.. do you have anything better, Wyatt's brother?"

-"How do you know my brother's name?" He said distrustfully.

-"I work at magic school, as a teacher. Lots of stupid gossip over there. That is how I heard of you, but I don't remember your name, sorry "She smiled at him

-"Chris" He smiled at her

-"I am Alexia" They shacked hands "Now... back to the important stuff. My theory is this, there is this demonic group, cult, or whatever I don't really know how it works. They started kidnapping really powerful kids about 4 years ago, or at least, I can't seem to track any weird episode before then. But it's hard to track. This cult kidnaps the babies and somehow brain wash them or something, but is not evident to the normal eye.

They do something. But the kids are restore to their family. That most of the time, are just too happy to have their kids back, so they don't question why did they appear back, out of the blue. Besides, most of this kids can teleport themselves, one way or the other. So they think they teleport themselves back or something. This kids are inserted as "Sleepers", until the cult awaken them to serve their purpose. That is why, they can seem normal for years and years until one day, they "wake up" and they are evil zombies. You can see it in their eyes, they are dead... there is nothing on them, no hint of feelings. It's sad"

-"Like Wyatt" mumbled Chris to himself.

-"Might be.. I don't know you brother story, but..."

Her speech was interrupted by a demon that shimmered behind her, Chris forced her to dock, pushing her down and telekinetically threw the fireball back to the demon that exploded into flames.

-"Do you think you can orb us somewhere else to talk?" She asked "Cuz I don't know if this is your favorite hung out and all.. but it's getting kind of crowed for my taste. And not my ideal kind of company, if you get what I mean" She smiled at him.

He laughed and orbed her to the manor.

-"Ok, let me call everybody, so we can all hear the story. What do you think?"

-"Hmmm how did you know I was the "I love big audiences" type? She said teasingly

-"I am a witch, baby" He replayed in the same tone. She laughed

-"OK!"

Once everybody was gathered in the attic, she started.

-"Well.. everything begun like 4 years ago. My cousin, Layla, a beautiful fire starter, she could also teleport herself into flames, she was super powerful and adorable.

She was two and she was kidnapped, she was missing for a little over a week and then she reappeared at her house. As if nothing had ever happened. As I told Chris, everybody was so happy to see her, and since she could actually teleport herself, everybody thought she either, fired herself somewhere unreachable and came back; or escape her captors.

Layla seemed just the same, and without a scratch. Me, being a telepath, and my mom, being a telepath, had the feeling something was wrong with Layla's head. But couldn't quite place what. She acted completely normal. And her thoughts were normal.

I did got to see some imagines of her captors, but they were blurry and not that many, since apparently they have some magic that protect them from any kind of external magic. That is why, you can't sense them, or summon them or tap into their heads.

A year ago, one day Layla woke up and killed both of her parents. I saw Layla after that. Her expression was void, her eyes were dead. And I could read that, whatever was that thing that we couldn't placed, possessed her.

I tried to keep Layla to reverse the magic, to see what had happened. But they took her away from me, Gideon and Alia's father I mean. I don't know what happened to her. They probably killed her.

I studied and I saw more cases like this in the past four years. Most of the babies haven't been awaken yet, and it's hard to convince the parents that they have one of this "sleepers" in their house.

Now, two days ago, my sister Alia was kidnapped. While tapping into her head. I saw the kidnappers looked pretty much like the ones in Layla's memories. But after a few minutes, my tapping was block, and I couldn't contact my sister anymore.

Alia is a powerful telepath, she has also, I guess, some whitelighter abilities since her dad is an elder. She turned three last week. I definitely need to find my baby! And we also need to stop this people. If not, who knows how many kids' minds they will control."

-"well that would make sense. I mean Wyatt was perfectly normal one day and the next he woke up and his eyes were dead, is like he didn't remember who he was, or anything of his previous life."

-"Well, if the precious ELDERS wouldn't have taken my cousin away from me, I could tell you exactly what happens. But it's hard"

-"But that would make a lot of sense. I say, considering is two a.m, what if why consult with our pillows, tonite and wake up tomorrow early. To try to follow this lead" Yawned Paige.

-"Who can sleep at a time like this?" Said Piper irritated.

-"Sweetie, Paige is right. We are not going to be of any help if we don't get any rest. Besides, its not going to be good for the baby."

Piper smacked Chris' arm.

-"Ouch, what was that for?"

-"I am soo tired of people telling me what is good or bad for the baby! So if you get to parasite my body and have everybody treat me like the meat around the "oh so precious baby". I 'll get my revenge" She stuck her tongue at him.

-"That is soo mature, mom. I am glad I am the son and you are the mother. Now.. go to bed, its not good for the baby" He mocked her.

-"Ahh even my son is giving me orders these days" She pretended to be exasperated as Leo orbed her to the bedroom.

-"Why don't you give her some blankets and show her everything? She can sleep on the couch downstairs, so we can start working on everything at the crack of dawn. I am exhausted" Said Paige orbing downstairs.

-"Thank you, sweetie. I am sorry about your sister. I feel your pain, literally, I am an empath" Phoebe said touching her arm, comfortingly with a smile.

She smiled back at her, with the saddest smile in the world.

-"I am sorry about your nephew too"

-"We'll save them, both" She said as she left the room.

-"Ok, let me show you were everything is" Said Chris leading her downstairs.

Once he left her settled, he went back to the attic. He couldn't sleep on a night like this, he rarely slept one way or the other. He needed to do some research on this new "Cult" she had been talking about.

He had been researching for fifteen minutes, when a noise startle him, making him lift his face from the book.

-"What are you doing here?"

Lark : Sorry I didn't thank you in the correct Chappie, you sent the review after I posted the second chapter. Thank you so much for your kind words, I love that you think is a plausible plot. I hope you like the other 2 chapters too. Please let me know, and feel free to point out any flaws on the plot too. This is actually a weird story for me, cuz usually I know the beginning and ending of a story, but not the middle. This one... I have an outline for over XV chapters, and know what is going to happen till way after that. So it actually has a real plot. If I get to write the whole story. That I hope I will.

Pukah : Please let me know if you keep on liking it. I am glad you enjoyed them going crazy. I am trying to keep the charmed spirit in this story. You know... lots of things happen, and a few are sad and others AWW... but still.. it's usually funny. And also lots of supernatural. That as much as I love supernatural.. I find it hard to write it.THANK YOU! I hope you like this chapter too, lots of explanations in it.. hopefully not too much.

CharmingPiper : THANK YOU!! Your review was awesome!! I am glad you enjoyed them joking, I am trying to make it funny and sarcastic (not hard, since I am so sarcastic, that it would be actually hard, to write dialogs without it) , but then I am not trying to make it pure comedy. I am trying to keep the charmed spirit in this story. You know... lots of things happen, and a few are sad and others AWW... but still.. it's usually funny. And also lots of supernatural. That as much as I love supernatural.. I find it hard to write it. I hope you like this chapter too, lots of explanations in it.. hopefully not too much.

I'll try to remember the whole scolding Chris after labor. If you remember, you can remind me around chappie 6 or 7, when you read that Chris says "I think I just been born" and Alexia answers him something like "congratulations.. can we focus on not getting KILLED now?" (MWAAA I am spoiling my own dialogs!!) Well...but you have one of those in this chappie, when Piper smacks Chris... Did you like it?
