Acacia Jules (Hey, the reason I said that whitelighter can heal themselves, is because in the episode "Saving private Leo" the ghost brothers stab Leo and he healed himself of the wound. Also the reason I have little Chris (aka pregnant Piper) and big Chris both with powers is cos in "Chris-crossed" Bianca said the spell he used meant he kept his powers, so big Chris had his powers from the future and little Chris has his powers from the present, I hope that helped you!)
Inversnaid (You wanted more, here you go, lol! Hope you like!)
Thanks so much you guys are great!
Chapter 14
"There is nothing in here!" Piper exclaimed as she slammed the Book of Shadows closed, she had been searching for everything and anything that might her find her son and their new innocent.
"Piper, bre..." But Leo was blown into a million pieces of white light before he could finish.
When he reformed Piper started to rant. "Leo if you tell me one more time to stay calm, relax or take a deep breath, so help me god I will do some serious damage!"
"I'm just trying..." Leo began but Piper cut him off again.
"I know you are only trying to help but honey you are making it worse."
"Ok, I'm sorry." Leo replied holding his hands up in defence.
Piper smiled, accepting his apology then turned her gaze to the ceiling.
"Come on I need a little help here." Piper called but nothing happened. "Grams, mom, Prue, anyone? Come on he's my son for crying out loud!"
Suddenly a light wind appeared out of nowhere and the pages of the Book of Shadows started to turn, then they abruptly stopped.
"Thanks." Piper called out as she began to read the page it had fallen on.
"What does it say?" Leo asked as he walked over to join Piper.
"Sethron." Piper read aloud. "A very powerful demi-god who was cursed into the body of a mortal by a witch."
"And?" Leo asked.
"That's it, a picture of him and that sentence." Piper let out a frustrated sigh. "Some help that was!" Piper sarcastically yelled at the ceiling.
"Well at least we know what he is." Leo stated, trying to be helpful but he was also feeling the desperation set in, they still had no idea how to find Chris or Casie.
"Oh yeah just made me more worried because now I know we aren't just dealing with any demon, he's a demi-god and very powerful at that!" Piper stated.
"You'll figure something out, you always do." Leo said trying to keep Piper focused.
Piper took a deep breath and let it out slowly, Leo had this hidden talent of knowing what to say, she knew it came with the job, but he still managed to help her though every crisis. Part of her wondered how she hadn't suffered a breakdown in their time apart, his presence was soothing.
"Ok since that's all the information the book's got, we should check out Seth's apartment." Piper said.
"I'll take a look, you should stay here and rest." Leo replied.
"Leo do you what blown up again?" Piper questioned. "Because you have to be mad if you think I'm staying here!"
Leo sighed. "I'm just worried about you and little Chris; you don't have the force field like you had with Wyatt. It might be too dangerous, I just don't want to lose either of you."
Piper smiled sweetly and kissed Leo. "I love you too, but he's our son and there's nothing I won't do to get him back."
"Ok you win." Leo said giving in.
"Don't I always?" Piper joked as Leo orbed them both out.
Meanwhile in the underworld...
"Emm...what is he doing?" Casie whispered to Chris.
"Not quite sure." Chris admitted as they both stared at Seth.
Seth had taken a small box from the hidden cupboard in the wall and was pouring what appeared to be black sand on the cavern floor. Before long it came apparent what Seth was drawing on the floor with the black stuff, it was a pentagram.
"Is that a star?" Casie whispered, tilting her head to the side.
Chris smiled. "No it's a pentagram."
"A what?" Casie asked.
"A pentagram, it's used to focus magical energy." Chris explained.
"Oh."
"Finished." Seth declared, as he set the box of black sand down and made his way over to their prison.
Seth reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper and stuck it to the glass wall so that Chris and Casie could read the words written on it.
"Is that a poem?" Casie found herself asking.
Chris rolled his eyes. "No it's a spell."
As Casie began to read the words, one stood out the most, she looked to Seth.
"How did you know..." Casie began to ask but Seth cut her off.
"That Scott is you're real last name, and not Winters?" Seth asked in a bored tone. "I needed you to recite this spell for a reason."
"But why?" Casie asked, curious why she was so special.
"Just read the spell." Seth ordered as he strode back and stood at the centre of the pentagram.
"But we can't do magic in this cage of yours." Chris stated.
Seth laughed. "Your magic may not be able to escape those walls but hers can."
"But I haven't got my powers yet." Casie said quietly.
"Oh but witch you have." Seth checked his watch then continued. "Since it's 12.20, you have had them for twenty minutes."
"But I don't feel any different?" Casie said.
"ENOUGH of your questions!" Seth boomed, she was trying his patience, one virtue he had little of. "Read the spell."
Casie looked over at Chris, unsure of what to do. Her gut was telling her not to say the spell, who knew what could happen if she did. But another part was scared of what Seth might do if she didn't.
"I said read the damn spell!" Seth ordered, he was so close and the little witch wasn't going to ruin it now.
Casie was never one to stand up to people, her confidence was usually nearing on the non-existent stage, but with Chris standing beside her, she felt stronger. With her mind set she said it.
"No." She said but it only came out as a whisper.
"WHAT?" Seth snapped.
"She said no." Chris informed Seth, with a smirk on his face.
"Read it now!" Seth ordered again.
"She doesn't have to; free will is a wonderful thing." Chris replied sarcastically.
Seth glared at Chris. "Well I'll just have to persuade her then."
Chris scoffed. "What are you going to do?"
"Hmmm." Seth replied, pretending to think about it. "I don't know, maybe this."
With that Seth made a fist with his right hand and Chris collapsed on the floor writhing in pain.
"What are you doing to him?" Casie asked as her panic levels rose.
Seth chuckled. "He may be a soul, but I can still destroy him. Then no afterlife, no nothing, he will just vanish from existence."
"Stop it!" Casie cried.
"Read the spell."
Casie looked down at Chris huddled on the floor, clearly in pain and quickly made her decision.
"Ok I'll do it." Casie said quietly.
"Sorry what was that?" Seth asked, enjoying watching her crack under the pressure.
"I'll read it." Casie replied more firmly.
Seth released his magical hold on Chris, leaving Chris gasping for breath on the floor.
"Good." Seth instructed as he removed a vial from his pocket and downed the liquid in one go.
Dark light surrounded Seth as his body slumped to the floor; all that was left was his soul standing where his body had just been.
"Now read!"
Casie took a deep breath and started to recite her first spell.
"Powers of the Scott family line,
In your greatness now combine,
Soul to soul I send you far,
Depart this body in this hour,
A stronger vessel you now must find,
To merge a body, soul and mind."
Dark lights surrounded Seth's soul and he began to float upward and disappeared through the ceiling of the cavern, leaving only Casie and Chris behind.
Meanwhile at Seth's apartment...
Piper and Leo had been looking through all of Seth's belonging, or lack of belonging, since the small apartment was practically bare.
"There's nothing here!" Piper raged.
All they had found was some clothes, some food in the fridge and a small TV in front of a small sofa. Nothing that could help them, nothing that was going to lead them to Chris, nothing.
"It's ok, we'll get through this." Leo said trying to reassure her.
"Leo, I don't think it really is ok!" Piper stated, getting hysterical. "There's only so much a woman can take!"
"Piper, you just have to clam down and then you and your sisters can come up with a plan."
"I can't cope, this is just too much!" Piper cried, and with that she glowed red and disappeared.
"Uh-oh." Escaped Leo's lips.
Meanwhile at the hospital...
Phoebe was slouched in the armchair beside Chris bed nursing a sleeping Wyatt.
"Ow." Phoebe moaned slightly.
She had been sitting in the same position for twenty minutes, trying unsuccessfully to go to sleep and now she was starting to go numb.
Phoebe was still worried, Paige hadn't come back and Leo and Piper were away doing god knows what, and of course it didn't help that she felt so helpless too, a feeling she really wasn't liking.
The bed creaked beside her and Phoebe sat bolt upright, waking Wyatt up in the process.
"Who's there?" Phoebe asked, but she got no reply. Then the bed creaked again, as if someone was moving in it. But no, it can't be?
"Chris?" Phoebe asked as she shifted a now crying Wyatt into her left arm, with the other she felt her way to the bed and reached out for Chris.
Phoebe let out a squeak when the arm underneath her hand moved. "Oh my god!"
She fumbled around trying to find the call button, as Wyatt cries got louder
"Shhh, Wyatt it's ok, I'm here...got it!" Phoebe said as she pushed the button.
A few minutes later a nurse came through the door.
"He's awake." Phoebe declared in the general direction of the door.
"Good." She said as she moved over to Chris. "Okay Chris the tube down your throat was to help you breath but I'm going to take it out now ok?"
He nodded, telling her he understood.
"When I say, I want you to cough and I'll take the tube out. Okay, now." The nurse instructed.
He began to cough as the nurse removed the tube.
"Very good, how are you feeling?"
"Ok." He croaked, his throat was raw and it hurt to talk.
"I'll go get you some water, and inform the doctor that you're awake." She said as she left. "I'll be right back."
Phoebe shifted Wyatt in her arms, as he continued to cry. She managed to sit herself on the bed and reached out for Chris.
"I'm so glad you're ok."
"Thanks."
Seth looked around the room with his new eyes, he felt the power inside of him, a power he hadn't felt for eighteen years. He could definitely get used to this.
