Chapter Three – fitting in

"Piper you've seen what she can do; that's good magic so why are you being so off?" Phoebe said linking her sisters' arms as they walked down the stairs. Piper shrugged.

"Oh I don't know Phoebe, my youngest son has just come back from the future again and then has been taken by some unknown demons which by the way aren't in the book of shadows; and then this random girl comes up and expects us to just let her in our lives; like that!" the both sat down on the couch in the living room.

"Honey I know it must be difficult but it's not just Ashley that wants you to trust her; it's Chris too – you have to trust your son; it might be the only way of saving him. And I'm not sure about you but I saw the look in her eyes when she was getting rid of that demon; heard her too. 'That's for Chris,' it sounds like they're really good friends in the future; she's just as upset about all this as we are!" she put her arm around her sisters shoulders giving her a shoulder to lean on.

Piper snuggled up for less than a second and then lifted her head up; "LEO?" she shouted making Phoebe rub her ear. Leo didn't orb in; "LEO I MEAN IT!" she shouted again. White lights filled the room as Leo entered the room.

"Piper what's up?" he looked worried.

"I'll tell you what's up; your son is back from the future – again; but he's got a friend this time Ashley; can make things disappear and re-appear with a swish of her hand. I want you to see if you can find anything about her; she mentioned before that she'd be one now. GO!" Phoebe stood up shocked.

"PIPER? You cannot be serious; did you listen to what I said before? Chris trusts her you have to too!" Leo looked confused.

"Yeah but Chris isn't really good at judging things is he? He can be off and I don't want him to be off with this! Also Leo what are Capmers? Find out as much about them!" she walked out the room heading towards the kitchen.

"What was that about?" Leo asked?

"Well this is the spare room; everything is set up so you just have to get your stuff," Paige said opening the door to the spare bedroom in the manor; Ashley walked in and sat down on the bed.

"Will she ever trust me?" she asked, Paige sat down next to her.

"She will; she just needs time. She was like that when I first came on the scene; gives you a hard time to see how you can handle it!"

"Yeah but it's wasting time; you don't know anything about these demons I do. Chris is in trouble and we need to get him back now," she got up and walked over to the closet.

"You know in the future this is Chris's room?" she was hidden behind the door so Paige didn't see her eyes watering.

"I thought you couldn't say much about the future?" Paige asked curiously.

"Well yeah not big things; but about which room he sleeps in is a different thing really; it's not going to effect the future. Unless little Wyatt finds out and gets the room first!" she laughed out loud wiping her eyes before closing the closet door.

"You two are close aren't you?"

"Best friends; you have to believe me Paige I'm not evil – people assume I cause trouble before the way I act or look but I'm not a demon. I've seen what bad magic can do and there is no way I would get involved with it!"

"I know you're not, it's easy to see."

"Then why doesn't Piper see then?"

"She's his mother; she'll be blind by that but she will; now hold my arm I'm going to orb you to where you were staying; get all your belongings!" Ashley smiled and took hold of Paige's arm. While they orbed she thought about how she'd always liked Paige and it was great to see her only a few years older than herself.

Meanwhile

"You didn't kill the Halliwells? Damn all this time of gaining power and we're still too weak!" one of the Capmer demons said to another.

"You don't see what I see; we have one of their friends they're bound to rescue him and when they do we'll be waiting. This place is far too magical – even for them to just do a spell to get him. They have to come here. But what they don't know is they won't be leaving!" the demons laughed evilly together.

Chris lay still with his eyes closed; hoping that they'd leave him alone if they still thought he was out cold; he'd been awake for what seemed like an hour and all they'd done was talk about him.

"So are you sure they won't be able to get him out of here?"

"Positive; there is only one way to get in and out if you don't have our powers and that's," he stopped and looked over at Chris.

"Awake I see; well you'll pay for that," he threw an electricity ball at Chris. It hit his left arm and made a huge gash on it.

"They will beat you; you're not strong enough for them!" Chris said before they knocked him out – again.
