Chapter 10

"We could write another spell, you know to put them back to together." Phoebe suggested, the two sisters were sitting on the couch in the attic, trying to fix the two Leos problem.

"Yeah but he'd still be sick and we'd be one man down!"

"But we can't have two Leos." Phoebe reasoned.

"Why not?" Paige asked. "You said it yourself, this Leo kicks ass, and we could seriously use the muscle with all this demonic activity."

"Yeah but what if something goes wrong, we don't know how long they can last separated like this..."

"Hello! I'm still in the room, do you mind not talking about me like I'm not here!?!" Leo asked waving his arms at Phoebe and Paige as if to stress on the point of him still being in the room.

"Sorry." The sisters chorused.

"So do I get a say in my problem?" Leo asked, with a slight bitterness in his voice.

"Of course you do sweetie." Phoebe said softly.

"Ok then, I say we leave the other me downstairs for the mean time and concentrated on getting Chris' soul back."

"Sure...but how do we do that?" Paige asked, as she was running out of ideas.

Leo paused for a moment, thinking, then said. "I'm not sure, so I'm going to ask the other elders and can one of you please check on Piper?" But he had orbed out, without waiting for an answer.

"Bye then!" Paige called sarcastically after him.

"I still don't think this is a good idea." Phoebe said, but Paige ignored her comment.

"Well you heard the man." She took Phoebe arm and orbed them back to the hospital.

Meanwhile at the hospital...

Piper was pacing, it seemed to be the only thing she could do to stop her mind from completely freaking out. She just stared at the tiles on the floor as she walked up and down them. Pushing everything from her mind but the tiles and how the fluorescent lights from above made them glisten.

The continuous, "beep...beep...beep" of the machines keeping Chris alive, also seemed to calm her nerves slightly, as the beeping brought the only sense of comfort she had; he was still alive.

Wyatt was asleep, curled up on the bed beside his brother.

But Piper's brave façade seemed to crumble when her sisters orbed in with grim expressions on their faces.

"I take it plan B didn't work?" Piper asked although she already knew the answer, meekly she asked. "Plan C?"

"Leo's gone to check with the other elders."

Phoebe looked at Wyatt, his tiny chest rising and falling as he slept soundly, unaware of how close to death his brother was.

"They'll know what to do...right?" Piper asked as she continued to pace. "He's going to be ok...right?"

Paige and Phoebe exchanged glances, both unsure of how to comfort their sister, as both were asking themselves the same question, 'was he going to be ok?'

At her sisters silence, Piper's panic rose. "I can't lose him...I won't...I can't..."

"Shh honey, you're not going to lose him, we'll get his soul back, don't worry." Phoebe replied as she wrapped her big sister in a hug.

Piper couldn't pretend anymore, she couldn't act like she was ok, and she broke down in her Phoebe's arms. Paige joined the hugged, desperate to comfort her sister.

Piper felt slightly claustrophobic and pulled away, returning to her rhythmic pacing.

"When we lost Prue..." She sobbed, staring at her sons. "If...if...I won't be able to survive."

Before her sisters could say anything, Piper glowed red and disappeared.

"Oh no." Paige said meekly as she sank into a chair.

"Paige our sister just disappeared, for like the fourth time today, Chris is dying, Leo is split in two...I don't think 'oh no' quite covers it!" Phoebe exclaimed.

"Shh, you're going to wake Wyatt!" But Paige was just met with a glare from Phoebe.

"Ok we have to try and figure out what's causing it calmly and rationally. Do you think you can do that?" Paige asked, Phoebe nodded and sat down beside Paige. "Lets start at the beginning."

"Yeah, well the first time they vanished was when Leo collapsed and they were laughing."

"Yeah." Paige agreed.

"Then again when they got really mad, cause Leo was sick and the whole vanishing thing." Phoebe continued.

"Yeah and Piper disappeared when Chris got thrown out of the window..."

"She was really scared." Paige raised an eyebrow, so Phoebe added. "A weird mixture of empathy and premonition!"

"Ok...anyway, and lastly just now!" Paige said, as she slumped back in the chair.

"Is it just me or is there a major common denominator, that I didn't notice before.!?!"

"What?" Paige asked, not quite seeing what Phoebe was getting at.

"I...I think it's tied to her emotions."

"You're right, first she was really happy, then angry, then scared and just now she was really upset!" Paige replied smiling, at last they were figuring this out.

"Ok we now know what's causing it but not why? And who..." Phoebe didn't get a chance to finish as Leo orbed in.

"What did you find out?" Paige asked, squinting slightly from the rising sun, that shone through the windows, she was actually surprised she was still awake, having only had about three hours sleep in the last two days.

"Not much, just that Chris' soul hasn't moved on, so it's somewhere in this realm, but they can't help us find out where." Leo then noticed something. "Where's Piper?"

"Oh she disappeared again, but guess what?" Phoebe asked, a smile across her face.

"What?" Leo asked glumly, not really in the mood for games, and wondering was could be making Phoebe smile, as to him, his world was crashing around him.

"We figured out that Piper keeps disappearing when she suffers an extreme emotion!"

Leo smiled weakly back, at least they had managed to find the cause of Piper's disappearing acts. But he was stumped for ideas on how to save his son.

Meanwhile in the underworld...

"You got your wish." Casie said softly. She was standing at the far side of their prison, staring absently at the rocky landscape that surrounded them.

"Huh?" Chris asked, not quite sure what she meant.

"We lived to see tomorrow." She replied, turning round to face him.

"How can you tell?" Chris wondered as he looked at the darkness around them.

Casie shrugged. "I just can..." She walked over and sat directly in front of Chris. "Any more ideas on our escape plan?"

"Not really, I thought maybe a spell, but my powers don't work in this form, so it might not work either."

"Well you never no until you try." Casie stated, she was still trying to get used to this side of life she never knew existed, witches, demons, and spells. But part of her felt at ease with the whole thing, maybe Chris was right, maybe she had been a witch her whole life.

"Ok then..." Chris was never very good with thinking of spells on the spot, potions were his thing, something else he had inherited from his mother.

"Spirits of air, forest and sea,

From this prison set us free."

Chris slammed his fist at the glass, but as usual his fist connected; they were still trapped.

Casie raised an eyebrow. "I take it, it didn't work?" Chris nodded in reply.

"What does he want with us?" She asked, letting out a sigh of frustration. For a second she actually thought the spell might have worked, that they could get out of here.

"I wish I knew."

"Should be careful what you wish for!" Someone sneered behind Chris.

Casie's eyes widen in fear and she crawled backwards creating as much distance as she could between herself and the demon. Chris turned to face Seth.
