Chris was stunned.
"What happens?"
"You know I cant say"
"If you've been to the future, how comes i don't know you?"
"I keep my distance from the those in the future, I cant risk the exposure- like you"
Chris had never felt so connected to someone in his life. For the first time, someone else who understood why he was here- why he came back. Someone who knew what it was like to never really know anyone for fear of exposure. He didn't want her to leave, ever.
He moved in, and kissed her. She began to kiss him back, tongues entwined. He didn't want to stop, but he had to find Piper and Paige. He pulled back, and opened his eyes.
"We have to find them" he smiled, stroking her cheek.
"I know" she smiled
He took her hand and led her towards the attic.
"I know how to find her"
"How?"
"I can sense her- we have a sort of link."
She sat down and once again closed her eyes. A ring of water swirled around her.
Chris watched. Everything she was, and did, was nothing short of beautiful.
"She's in the underworld. We have to go"
"But its dangerous, we need some sort of plan"
"Ive got one" she smiled.
And in that moment, she took his hand and transformed them into fire and headed for the underworld.
In the underworld
"Did you just turn me into fire?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, sorry. It's the only way to get into this place"
They looked around.
"Isis's lair" whispered Starla
Like the name, Isis's lair had a rather egyptian feel to it. Fire torches were spread along the walls, lighting it.
She could see Piper and Paige, they were trapped in a ring of fire. After carefully looking, Starla got closer to the girls, and extinguished the fire.
"Its about time!" said Piper "What took you so long?"
Chris and Starla looked at each other, thinking back to the manor.
All of a sudden, Isis appeared. Much too quick for Starlas defence. She threw a fireball, forcing Starla to the ground. Chris ran towards her but was shotdown by a black water ball. Piper and Paige ran to his side.
"Now, time to get whats mine!" Isis exclaimed
She put her arm In front of her, extending her fingers. White orbs began to rise from Starlas limp body and began to fill Isis. Then, in the same moment, she began to burn.
She screamed, before falling into a pile of demon dust.
Piper and Paige ran towards Starla. They checked her heartbeat, there wasn't one. They looked at each other, both thinking how unfair this all was.
Chris stumbled over.
"She cant be gone" He cried, bringing her into his arms.
"Hey wait a minute" Said Paige. She looked up- the swirling orbs were still there.
"Orbs!" she called, collecting them into her hand and throwing them into Starlas body.
Starlas eyelids flickered, before opening.
"Are you guys ok? Is she gone?"
"Thanks to you" smiled Chris.
She stood up, slowly. She ached a lot, but then again, elementals were fast healers.
"Lets get out of here!" said Paige. The group all linked hands, and Paige orbed them back to the Manor.
