Chapter 3

It took everything Leo had not to kill the bastard right then and there. But given the fact that no one can die at the school, he was pretty much stuck. "Hello Gideon" the man spat out.

"Hello Leo, what can I do for you?"

Go to hell and take the other psycho Elders with you, the man thought to himself. He took a deep breath before answering

"Nothing really, I'm just looking for something for the girls"

"Really, well what do they need help with?" Gideon replied sounding much more interested than he should have been.

"Time travel we have to work on sending Chris home" for some reason this brought a smile to the Elders face.

Seeing it only infuriated Leo, as he knew exactly what the Elder was thinking. Sick son of a bitch, he cursed to himself.

"Oh yes well" he said walking over to the stack of books. "Maybe this can help you. You know you have a very brave boy Leo. You should be proud of young Christopher"

This statement pissed him off even more forcing the man to scream out in frustration

"Don't you dare speak my son's name!" Realizing his mistake Leo recovered quickly "I'm sorry Gideon I guess, I guess that I'm not as ready to see him go as I thought" The Elder studied his student for a second before replying

"That's quite alright I can only imagine how you feel"

You won't have to imagine because the amount of pain that I'm feeling right now is nothing compared to what I'm going to do to your sorry self righteous ass he thought. Just then he heard Piper calling for him.

"Umm, thanks for the book Gideon" the man said picking it up along with the others. "But I have to go Piper's calling."

"Of course, but do let me know if I can help in anyway"

"I will, bye" Leo said relieved to be getting out of there because had he stayed for just one second longer, he would have reduced the Elder to nothing more than a pile of ashes.

A minute later he appeared in the attic of the manor. Piper was getting ready to call for him once more, until she saw the man form.

"There you are. Did you find anything?"

"No not yet, there are two more books that we..."

"TWO! That's it? Leo how the hell are we supposed to protect our children with barely any information?" she finished as she put her face into her hands.

The heartbreak of it all was warring on her. Trying hard to console his wife the man spoke softly "It's alright sweetie. We will do what we have to, to protect them"

"How? I mean if you kill Gideon before he does anything "wrong" then they will come after us and only God knows what kind of punishment that they'll dish out" It was at that moment that the two sisters joined them.

"Hey what's going on?" Phoebe asked.

"I'm going to lose my babies, that's what!" The response startled the others.

"Piper please calm down. I don't mean to stress you even more but we'll really lose Chris if you don't stop" the youngest sister spoke. Not wanting to risk the health of her unborn son the woman sat once again and tried to regain her composure.

"Listen" she continued "Leo you stay here with Piper while me and Phoebe go through the books and see if we can find anything that will help us"

"OK" was the only word that the man could speak.

As Paige gathered the books she noticed that there were three instead of two.

"Leo, I thought that you were only able to find two books?"

"Yeah?"

"Then why are there three here? I mean not that I'm complaining or anything"

"I ran into Gideon at the school" The name immediately caused looks for hate to form on the faces of the sisters.

"It's not important right now, all that matters is finding what we need to stop him" Nodding their heads in agreement, Paige and Phoebe made their way out of the attic.

For a while the couple sat close together watching their two children sleep. It seemed as if they had been sitting in silence forever before the woman finally spoke as she smoothed a stray hair out of her younger child's face.

"I can't lose them Leo. I'll die if I do."

"Don't think about that right now. We just need to focus on making sure that the events in Chris's vision quest don't happen" Just then the wall on the other side of the attic began to illuminate with a bright blue glow. Worried that Gideon was on to them, the couple stood and prepared themselves for battle that was until they noticed the person who came through. There before them stood a tall muscular blonde man who simply uttered one word

"Chris"
