And the plot thickens

Phoebe Paige and Piper faced the demon carefully Kyle stood next to Leo shielding the children from the demon

"Ok look just give us Poppy" Paige told him slowly she kept one eye trained on the demon taking quick glances towards Poppy

"Kyle Get the kids out of here now" Phoebe told him he knew better than to argue and orbed away Leo stood behind them ready in case they needed his assistance the demon tightened his grip on Poppy watching the charmed ones and their whitelighter carefully

"Come on really what do you want with her?" Piper asked sternly

"She's my way out" he smirked throwing a fireball suddenly it steered right into Phoebe's path but Piper blew it up quickly

"Great aim but not as great as mine" Paige yelled as she orbed a potion from the table onto the demon he shuddered as it hit him he shimmered away with Poppy still seized in his grip

"Dammit!" Paige stomped her foot angrily

"What did he mean?" Phoebe asked

"His way out? I have no idea" she paused then looked up "Kyle it's safe now" she called he orbed back down wrapping an arm around Paige

"You ok?" he asked looking around "Where's Poppy?" he asked

"With the demon don't worry we'll find her" Paige assured him she picked up her baby gently and rocked her

"We'll get you back" she smiled gently ignoring the impending doom clouding her mind

"I'll go see if I can find anything out" Leo told them Piper nodded and kissed him lightly he orbed away Paige stood back to the rest rocking the baby thinking Kyle stood beside her watching carefully

"I'm gonna see the book" Phoebe told them and walked towards the lectern which held the book of shadows Piper waited for Paige to say something after a minute she reached out and rubbed her sisters arm

"Are you ok?" she asked softly Paige nodded

"I was just thinking what did he mean his way out?" she said Piper shrugged

"We'll just have to figure it out," she told her Paige nodded

"I'm gonna go put Poppy down for her nap" she smiled Phoebe stopped her

"Maybe she should nap up here"

"Why?" Paige asked

"In case the demon comes back he may want them both" she told her Paige nodded and settled the sleeping baby onto a couch surrounded by blankets then she turned a burning desire reflected in her eyes

"Let's go find my daughter," she said her sisters nodded

Laxer paced the cave wearily watching the child slowly this was the moment he'd been waiting for his whole, life and future life apparently so why did it not feel right? He should be sued to killing now but he wasn't now looking at the 14 year old girl so like her mother wearing a long pink gypsy skirt and a pink halter neck and denim jacket her lips smeared with a soft pink gloss and silver hoops in her ears he couldn't bring himself to kill her

"Why do you want to kill me?" she asked he jumped startled could she ready his mind? He didn't want to find out

"Because you are the only way to make sure the world is saved"

"What do you mean?" she asked he fear reflected in her voice

"My future self came through the portal with you he informed my of why I have to kill you why your family would have to kill you if I didn't" he told her smirking at the fear he'd brought in her face

"Why?" she asked sadly

"Think back all the attacks all the death in your life so far what has been the key element?" he asked she thought for a moment

"Me" she whispered

"None of the demons where after the charmed ones they were after you"

"But why me what have I done!" she protested tears falling from her eyes

"Because you are the Chosen one" Laxer told her, her puzzled expression told her she didn't have one clue what he meant

"Aeons ago the Elders together with the unworldly powers agreed that if a second generation of half witch half whitelighter survived then it would be too powerful and either one side or both should destroy them"

"Why am I called the Chosen one then?" she asked

"I can't tell you that" he frowned

"So are you gonna kill me then?" she asked standing defiantly in his way Laxer thought for a second all seven of his stomachs churning

"I'll be back there's a curse on here you can't get out" he told her before shimmering away

Poppy sat on the floor and sobbed she sobbed for her family she wouldn't see again for her past self who would one ay have to live this for Chris and Wyatt who she'd failed and for all the lies she just lay there and sobbed

Paige paced up and down the hall

"Paige what are you doing?" Piper asked

"Thinking" came the reply

"Well think while sitting down your making my eyes go funny," Piper told her she obeyed her sister

"There has to be something we're missing" Paige told her

"We've read and re-read the book twice scrying doesn't work and the elders don't know anything what could it be" Phoebe asked Paige shook her head Leo orbed back down concern creased over his face Piper rushed to him and hugged him he didn't return it

"We've got a big problem," he told them Paige let her head fall into her hands Kyle came down he sat next to Paige listening carefully

"Leo What is it?" Piper asked

"Aeons ago the elders said if a second generation of witch/whitelighter was ever born that would be known as the Chosen one and that either a Laxer demon or The Charmed ones must destroy her thing is they can only b destroyed by one of the charmed ones the one that has the same powers that's Paige" Leo told them Paige didn't respond Phoebe did instead

"What! Why!"

"Well the Chosen one could Bring the world to put it simple in the best state it could be in free from war peace and evil completely good" Leo told them

"Wouldn't that be a good thing?" Piper asked her voice wobbly from tears

Kyle shook his head "Remember what happened when the avatars tried to do that?"

"But they didn't try and make the world peaceful they just programmed everybody not to care" Piper told him

"It was the same thing Piper the Chosen one would be doing a good thing but it would imbalance the world if there was no evil why would you need good people it wouldn't work" Leo told her sadly

"So I have to kill my daughter?" Paige mumbled Kyle pulled her into a hug but she tried to stop him

"We'll find another way" he whispered she faced him her face soaked with tears

"How either way we're gonna lose her" she shouted the words echoed around the room and Paige gazed around at the room Piper Phoebe Kyle and herself were all in tears and Leo's eyes were filled too

"I can't lose her" she shook her head and allowed him to pull her into a hug gently and she held on for dear life and sobbed
