Chapter 9
Both Pipers paced the attic floor trying not to panic while waiting for either Leo to answer their call.
"I can not believe her" the woman said more out of fear then actual angry towards her sister.
"I just hope she's ok" added Future Piper who was trying to stop herself from going into a manic episode.
"Yeah so I can kill her later. Oh for God sake's LEO!" shouted Past Piper growing more and more anxious with every call.
Suddenly bright white lights filled the air as Past Leo formed.
"Sorry it took so long. Were you able to find a darklighter to give you the last ingredient?"
"No but our sister came up with the brilliant idea to go ahead with her darklighter in disguise act and has probably gotten herself into a heap of trouble" Future Piper informed the Elder.
"Oh no"
"Oh yes, now we have to find her and hope that she's not in trouble and then find the antidote before we lose Chris" Past Piper said trying not to let her emotions get the best of her.
"Ok then, let's go" Past Leo spoke reaching for the hand of his ex-wife.
"No, you need to go to magic school and get Phoebe so she can help us while I stay here and scry for Paige"
"She's right and take me with you, I need to stay out of the way of history as much as possible" her counter part replied moving to the man's side.
"Ok" Past Leo said as he took Future Piper's hand "We'll be right back" the man spoke once more in Past Piper's direction before obeying her orders and orbing away.
Back at magic school Piper assumed her previous position by her son's side as past Leo filled the group in on the details. Phoebe, Future Leo and Chris listened on intently with looks of shock on their faces.
"Oh my God. We have to hurry up and find her" Phoebe said taking Leo's hand.
"Wait, is the potion finished?" asked Future Piper.
"Yeah all we need is the last ingredient" she said looking over her worried expression. "Don't worry both Chris and Paige will be just fine" Phoebe smiled slightly at the woman before her and Leo orbed away.
They arrived in the attic to see Past Piper mumbling something as she continued to scry for their missing sister.
"Hey did you find her?" questioned Phoebe.
"No, not yet. But when I do I'm going to give that a girl an ear full. You know sometimes I think she's determined to turn my hair grey" replied Past Piper
"She was just trying to help Piper" the woman's younger sister spoke.
"Yeah I know and I love her for it, but she can't keep doing things like this Phoebe. She never thinks about what would happen to us if she died. I swear she's just like Prue" Past Piper said, her voice cracking on the last part.
"Don't worry Piper, we'll find her" the Elder said sensing his wife's anger, frustration and pain.
"I hope so" just as the woman spoke the crystal dropped down onto the map signaling their younger sister's location. "I've got her. Phoebe grab those potions just in case my powers go bonkers down there" Past Piper responded sticking an athame in her jean loop.
"You guys ready?" questioned Leo grabbing a hold of both sisters hand. With their approving nods the group headed down to the underworld.
When the young witch awoke she was noticed that she was trapped in some sort of cage. She immediately tried to orb only to be knocked back down onto the cold concrete floor.
"Nice try witch, but it won't work" the demon taunted.
"I'm not worried about it, besides my sisters will be here any minute so I'll just entertain you for a little while" she smiled wickedly angering the demon that only stood about two feet away.
"Ha, cute" the darklighter spoke as he opened the cage door.
"They may be here any minute but how much longer do you have? It sucks that what you were looking for to save your little whitelighter friend was just inches away" he said pointing to a shelf where too vials were sitting as he summoned his crossbow. He raised his hand and shot her through the chest right before being blown to pieces.
"Paige?" Piper said rushing to her sister's side with Phoebe hot on her trail. "Leo quick, she's hurt" she said taking her sisters hand in hers. "It's ok Paige, just hold on" she pleaded.
"Please be ok" Phoebe spoke nervously while ringing her hands.
After a short while Paige inhaled sharply and sat up.
"Oh thank God" the middle said happy that her sister was okay.
"Are you alright?" Piper questioned trying not to strangle her baby sister.
"Yeah, thanks to you guys. Look I know that I'm in for a major lecturing session but" she said walking over to the shelf and picking up the vials. "One of these little babies is exactly what we're looking for, the only problem is, I don't know which one it is" Paige said looking between the two.
"Do you know what's in the other one so we can be prepared" asked a very weary Piper.
"Unfortunately no, it's going to have to be a trial and error thing"
"Paige we cannot play the guessing game when my son's life is at stake"
"We don't have a choice. Listen there's enough base potion to be separated into two different vials. That way if one doesn't work we can give him the other one right away" said Leo speaking as the voice of reason. Although he didn't want to risk picking the wrong vial either, the man was aware that not only was it the only option they had but if they continued wasting valuable time arguing about, his son's life would be lost.
"Yeah Piper it's our best bet" Phoebe said making it two against one.
"Ok then, let's get back to Chris and we'll figure everything out from there" Past Piper said holding onto her ex-husbands hand as Phoebe and Paige orbed out.
"Don't worry about it Piper, he'll make it through this" Leo said assured the woman as they followed her sister's lead.
At magic school Future Piper and Leo were sitting discussing the events that have taken place so far.
"I can't believe how quickly everything's fallen apart. First my baby gets hit with an arrow then Paige goes undercover as a darklighter surrounded by demons that could kill her. Maybe we shouldn't have come back" Future Piper said sadly looking at the boy that lay sleeping up against her.
"I don't believe that for one minute Piper. Everything that's happened so far were accidents and things that we couldn't control. Now once Chris is cured we'll be more careful and stay out of the way, here at magic school" replied Future Leo.
"If we stay out of the way, then how are we going to change anything Leo"
"By letting Chris know what's going to happen and by telling our past selves the whole story and trust them to handle it, that way we don't have to stay here at all and we can just go back home to our boys" said Future Leo.
"That sounds like a plan I just hope that they can keep their emotions in check until that day arrives. But I have to say that I do miss the boy's and it hasn't even been a whole twenty four hours yet"
"I know, so do I. Can you imagine what their doing to poor Paige and Phoebe" he laughed.
"Yeah just last week Wyatt orbed her hairbrush into the toilet and Chris kept moving the chair every time Phoebe went to sit in it. Too bad you weren't there, you would have loved to see how he and Wyatt cracked themselves up each time Phoebe landed on the floor" she laughed whipping her tears away.
"You won't be laughing when you see what we do to you" Chris spoke softly as a smile crept across their face.
"Hey there, it's not nice to threaten your mother young man" the woman giggled.
"Nah, it's more like a promise" he too giggled, as much as he could do to his injury.
"Wow, I'll make sure to watch my back" he smiled lovingly at his son.
"Poor Dad, do you really think it's going to be that easy to get by me and Wyatt? Ha, you'll learn and don't worry about that little trick we're going to pull in about four years. It's not permanent. You won't stay purple for too long" he laughed at the look on his father's face.
"Now I'll really scared"
"I'm scared for you both. If I were you I would invest in hair coloring products and fast"
Their private family bonding moment was interrupted by the sound of a very familiar voice.
"Piper, Leo? What are you two doing here and what's wrong with Christopher" the man questioned as he moved closer.
Leo and Piper held each other's gaze for quite some time before calming themselves and turning with looks of hate and loathing to face Gideon.
