Chris opened his eye's, looking around he noticed he was in the attic, Wyatt only a few feet away, the book laid open on it's stand his hand part way through turning the page. Frowning he got a severe case of de ja vu, immediately he walked over to Wyatt and picked the small child up, his eyes still searching the confines of the attic. Hearing a noise his head jerked to the left, his eyes straining to find where the sound had come from.

"I think it's time to get you out of here." he said, looking down at the child in his arms. The floorboards creaking as though someone was walking across them.

"Give me the child." a voice called from the shadowed corner.

"No." he shouted turning again. He had to get out of there but he didn't know who or what was in there with them. It could be Gideon but then again it could be someone else. He wasn't willing to take a risk, not now. Not now that he had come so far.

"Give me Wyatt, Chris." Gideon said removing his invisibility cloak. "Don't make me sacrifice both of you."

For some reason that last line resonated with him. He felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, looking down he couldn't see anything, touching the spot it felt fine, there was nothing there at all. Taking it as a warning he orbed the two of them to the lounge room, wondering where would be safest.

"Dad." he called, knowing that Gideon would have heard that he knew they didn't have long now. "Dad? Paige?"

He looked around nervously for all he knew Gideon was in the room right now. Chris looked down at Wyatt, who was looking up at him and smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll think of something." he told him. The only thing that he could think of though was orbing both of them to the hospital, but for all he knew it was still crazily happy out there, anything could happen if he did that. He didn't like the chances of staying in the manor though.

His senses strained to hear and see what they usually would not, he knew this was the last stand, it was now or never. He had to get Wyatt out of there before anything bad happened. He heard orbs in the hallway not trusting that it was his father or aunt, he looked down at Wyatt and gave him a smile.

"Come on, we have no other choice." he told the toddler as they orbed to the hospital. Arriving in a darkened empty hallway he saw Leo on the ground looking up at someone who wasn't there.

"Dad?" he called out. "Dad?" Hiking Wyatt up on his hip he walked over to him, cautiously surveying the are surrounding him. Crouching down he gently took Leo's arm, helping him to stand.

"What are you doing here?" Leo asked, staring strangely at Wyatt.

"Gideon tried to attack us, I didn't know where else to go. I think something happened, something I can't quite grasp." he explained, gently passing his brother to his father. "What was going on here?"

"That doesn't matter, because it's not going to happen."

Chris raised his brow and watched Leo with Wyatt for a few moment's. "We have to find away to fix this all." he reminded Leo.

"I know, the book is still at the manor?"

Chris nodded and looked around. "Where's Phoebe and Paige?"

"They're still with your mother. I want you and Wyatt to wait there with them." Leo told him, clutching tightly at Chris' shoulder.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to find away to fix all this.'

"Dad," he started, pausing as he tried to find the right words. "Just be careful, okay. We need you."

Leo smiled weakly at him. "I think that I might take you two to your aunts just in case."

Chris nodded and started to follow him. As they winded their way down and through the corridors, Chris tried to remember why the scene in the attic and the feeling that something bad was coming felt so familiar to him. The sudden sharp pain in his abdomen had been the weirdest part. Their had been nothing there, yet it felt as though someone had driven something into his flesh. Shaking his head he looked up and saw his aunts sitting casually in the orange waiting chairs. Both smiled like overeager children as they approached them.

"Piper, how is she?" Leo asked quickly, handing Wyatt to Paige.

Phoebe quickly gave them an excited informs them that Piper is being prepped for surgery.

"What?" Leo snapped, looking from Chris to Wyatt, then back to Phoebe. "What's wrong? Is it the baby?"

Both Phoebe and Paige shrug and smile up at him. "There's nothing to worry about, the doctor said that she's going to be fine. That there's nothing to worry about."

"Dad, we need to undo the spell." Chris whispered leaning over to Leo.

Leo disbelievingly nods his head as Paige tickles Wyatt's stomach, seemingly oblivious to the danger that they were all in.

"There's something that I have to do. You stay here with them, if anything happens call me or get out of here as quick as possible. Okay?"

"Yeah, be careful, please." Chris said giving him a slight smile as he walked to an unexposed are of the hallway and orbed out. Turning he looked back at Paige and Phoebe who were now both tickling Wyatt, grimacing slightly as he shook his head in slight amusement. Bringing his hand to his mouth he lightly bit down on his thumb nail as he thought about what he could do to undo the spell him mother had obviously cast.

"Chris." Paige called, as he turned his head towards her saw her smile as she held the camera up. "Smile." He was to slow as he raised his hand to block the shot.

"I have got to do something." he said softly as he stared at her.

"What was that sweetie?" Phoebe asked, turning slightly to look at him.

"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking that it would be nice if they would tell us what was happening with mom." he lied.

"She'll be fine. The doctor said so." Paige offered with a smile.

Hesitantly Chris shook his head and looked towards the door, keeping an eye out for anything that seemed out of order.

"Alita, I hope your happy." a voice said walking up behind her as she gazed down at the pool of water.

"He's back to fulfil his destiny." she said softly.

"The entire thing is out of order, it was his death that brought his aunts out of the spell. How are they going to get them back now?" he demanded.

"Tarrant, don't worry so much. He's a smart boy." she told him, glancing over her shoulder. "He knows deep down how to break the spell. And Leo just found out how to find Gideon. It's all going to work out fine."

"That wasn't the point." he said grabbing her arm and turning her to face him. "He shouldn't have been sent back and you know it."

"I discussed this already with The Unknown." she saw the look on his face and her gaze softened. "I had no choice, it had to be done."

"You went to see The Unknown?" he asked.

Slowly she nodded and looked back down at the pool. "It had to be done, my hands were tied."

"They requested this?"

"No, I told them I was doing this whether they agreed or not."

"And they did? Why would you do such a thing?"

Sighing she dipped her hand in the water and swirled it around. "Look."

Tarrant looked down into the pool and saw Chris, he was slightly older than he was now, in his arms a small child. He was grinning as though he had just been handed the key to the universe. The picture quickly changed, the child was older as was Chris, the two of them were playing in the yard. The images changed frequently, images of Chris, the child and a woman unknown.

"What is this?" Tarrant demanded.

"It's his future." Alita told him as she watched the images for the third time that day.

"This is why you broke the rules, so that he could have a child? That is not a good enough reason Alita and you know it."

"Watch further." she advised, passing her hand over the water.

This time Chris had aged dramatically, his son was now the age he was now. They stood in an underground cavern, a giant shadowed figured stood in front of them, Tarrant watched in awe as without so much as waving his hand the young man conjured enough fire power to take out a small army, hurling an energy ball at the figure, watching as it screamed in agony before imploding. No bits and pieces were evident it was as if the demon had never been there.

Tarrant looked up confused, there was hardly enough there to warrant the re-ordering of time and the replacement of a soul.

"What was I supposed to see?" he asked.

"You just saw the most powerful entity the world will ever see take out the source of all evil, without uttering a word, without blinking an eye. You just saw mankind's salvation." she responded.

Tarrant moving back slowly to allow her back to her pool.

"That doesn't help us now, the world is a mess."

"Then fix it, help him. Offer him assistance without his knowledge."

Tarrant sighed and looked down at his empty hands, he knew what she was talking about. She wanted him to give Chris the spell that would reverse what his mother had done.

"And what about Gideon?" he asked.

"As soon as The Charmed One's powers are unclouded, they will be able to defeat him." Alita told him, hoping that would be the end of the conversation.

"I hope your right." he said as he blinked out.

"So do I." she said softly as she watched the images flicker back to the hospital.
