Chapter 3
"Leo?" Both Phoebe and Paige cried out in alarm, as they rushed to his side.
"Leo wake up." Paige called as she turned him onto his back.
"Oh my god, he's burning up!" Phoebe exclaimed as she felt his forehead, he was definitely running a high temperature.
"What's wrong with him? I thought whitelighters could heal themselves?" Paige asked as she gently shook Leo, but he still didn't wake up, he just lay limply on the floor, his breathing the only sign of life in him.
"They usually can...I can't see any wounds, so it can't be darklighter poison." Phoebe said, no wounds, so what was it? Why had Leo collapsed? And why couldn't he heal himself? Phoebe had seen him heal himself plenty of times, but they had been mostly open wounds, and this looked more like a virus, so maybe Leo couldn't heal that.
"Err...Phoebe, has it gotten really quiet in here all of a sudden?" Paige asked, jerking Phoebe out of her thoughts, but she was right, the laughter had stopped, they both looked round and Piper and Chris were nowhere to be seen.
"Where did they go?"
"One problem at a time, help me get him to the couch." Phoebe instructed, she picked up his feet, her intent of carrying him but Paige just touched his arm and orbed him over to the couch. Paige cracked a smile as she reappeared at the other side of the attic.
"I'm handy to have around!" Paige said, then looked down at Leo, he wasn't looking too good. "Ok so how do we find out what's wrong with him?" Her concern was evident in her voice.
"That's a good question." Phoebe replied as she started flipping through the Book of Shadows.
"Why are you looking in the book? This could be something natural, like the flu or with what Leo's been doing lately it could just be exhaustion." Paige suggested.
"Paige you said it yourself, whitelighters can heal themselves, so it's gotta be something magical. Plus you heard what Chris said, something bad is coming, and this could be it."
"Good point...speaking of Chris.... CHRIS?" Paige called hoping that he and Piper would appear, but they didn't. "Where did they go?" Paige asked as she looked over to Phoebe who was still flipping through the book.
"I don't know." She simply replied, 'one problem at a time' she repeated to herself.
Paige gently placed a pillow under Leo's head and he stirred, he moaned quietly and his eyes fluttered open.
"Leo?"
"Uh...what happened?" He asked as he tried to sit up but Paige pushed him back down.
"Stay down." She instructed, Leo looked up to see two worried faces, belonging to Phoebe and Paige.
"How you feeling?"
"Ehh...not to bad, just a bit dizzy and tired. What happened?" Leo had been feeling bad for little over a week, but he hadn't wanted told anyone about it, knowing they would probably make a big deal out of nothing, he was just a little overworked.
"You collapsed, that's what happened, and you are going to eat something and then get a decent nights sleep, ok?" Although Paige wasn't really asking him, she was telling him. She looked at her watch; it was 2.30am, how had it got that late?
"I'm fine Paige." Leo said as he tried to sit up again, but as he did, his vision clouded slightly and he quickly lay back down. The two sisters gave Leo a look that said 'fine?', to which he replied truthfully. "Okay maybe not fine, but..."
"No buts." Phoebe said like she was scolding a young child. "Would you please orb him to his bed, so he can get some sleep Paige?" Before Paige could reply Leo interrupted.
"I can orb myself."
"No you can't, you still look sick, and you're too weak." Leo was in no mood to argue, so he let Paige orb him to his and Piper's room and he drifted off to sleep in minutes, all the while thinking, 'am I sick?'
Paige Checked on Wyatt, telling the Elf-nanny she could go since they were home now, then joined Phoebe in the attic, once Leo was asleep that is. Phoebe was pacing behind the book, very unnerved by the whole situation.
"Hey, is he asleep?"
"Yeah." Paige sighed as she flopped down on the couch Leo had been on only twenty minutes ago.
"If he isn't any better in the morning I think we should maybe call a doctor."
"A doctor? Phoebe what if this is magical?"
"I know but I don't know what else to do, there nothing in the book about any magical flu never mind a cure, and since he obviously can't heal himself...I just can't think of what it is or what to do." Phoebe took a deep breath, she was letting her emotions get the better of her, letting her power control her.
Paige smiled weakly, she didn't know what to say to make her sister feel better.
"Ok one problem, well not solved, but...you know what I mean anyway, now to problem number two, where do you think the giggle twins went?"
"I tried scrying while you where downstairs, but I got nothing, they just disappeared."
"That doesn't sound good." Paige was starting to feel like this whole thing, family-going-missing-without-a-trace-thing was getting very familiar territory.
"Do you think you could find them?" Phoebe asked, but when Paige looked at her with a very blank expression, she elaborated. "Try sensing them."
"Sensing, I've only ever done that like once, I'm only half-whitelighter remember"
"Paige please try, and if it doesn't work, we can try the 'to call a lost witch spell'"
Paige sighed, Phoebe was right it was worth a shot. She closed her eyes, and took another deep breath, and made herself think of her sister and nephew, in her mind she saw a mental picture of them on the floor laughing like she had seen them last. She cleared her mind of everything but Piper and Chris, and concentrated as hard as she could. Paige felt a faint glimmer of something familiar nearby and hoped it was them.
"I think I got them, you ok to watch Leo and Wyatt?" Paige asked.
"Yeah you go." Phoebe said, she tried to put on a brave smile but failed miserably, what was really scaring her was that she couldn't feel anything from Leo, no emotions, pain what-so-ever, 'I mean what use is it being an empath when you can't help your family in their time of need' she thought.
Paige disappeared in a swirl of bright light, but she reappeared about two feet to her left.
"What just happened?" Paige asked slightly shocked, she really thought it was them she had sensed.
"Dunno." Phoebe said shrugging.
"Stupid whitelighter powers, I could have sworn that I felt them, which means they might still be here, or my sensing power is screwed up. I think I'll personally go with the latter."
Beckoning to Paige, Phoebe said. "Come on lets try the spell." She was eager to find her family; she wanted them all under on roof and safe.
Phoebe and Paige looked down at the spell, but before they could begin to even chant, a burst of laughter filled the attic, shattering the silence. They both looked up and there they were. Piper and Chris were sitting on the floor, laughing, just like before, as if they had never left.
"Wha...wha..." Paige stammered, shocked. What had just happened? They had disappeared suddenly to then half-an-hour later reappear. Phoebe on the other hand wasn't shocked, she was pissed.
"Where the hell have you been? We were worried sick!" Phoebe said glaring at them, they slowly stopped laughing, but happy grins still remained on their faces.
"Been? We haven't been anywhere." Chris pointed out, looking at Phoebe like she was crazy.
"Yeah you have!" Phoebe shot back, she was glad she now knew they were safe, but what was he talking about? "You disappeared, it's been nearly half-an-hour."
"Disappeared?" Piper asked in disbelief as she choked out the last of her laughs.
"Yeah gone, kaput, no longer there...disappeared." Paige said as she regained her voice.
Piper and Chris looked at each other, their looks silently asking each other 'what are they talking about?'
"We didn't go anywhere, it's still..." Piper looked to her watch, but instead of it reading the time of around 2.30am like she excepted it too, it read after 3am. "Oh crap."
