Disclaimer I do not own any of these characters except for Kyla and a few others

A/N for those of you who reviewed thank-you so much. I hate to break it to the people who were looking forward to seeing Cole in this story. I'm sorry he won't be appearing but maybe if I do a sequel or prequel you'll see him if I get enough reviews asking for one then it might happen. Sorry about the long wait. Here's the next chapter.

Chapter 5

Saving Chris

Piper stood up followed by Leo. Paige, Phoebe and Kyla entered the room carrying the book.

"Okay the demon is called a Stragert. They are a very rare species and are known to be Bounty Hunters. Their special attack is by draining someone's energy and power into themselves. That's it there is no vanquishing potion." Phoebe read aloud.

"Well that was really helpful." Piper said her nerves on edge.

"Actually it might be." Kyla said.

"What do you mean?" Phoebe said looking at her daughter with interest.

"Well. It probably doesn't need a vanquishing potion so it is probably easy to kill. And well that all I need to know there is nothing else I'm going to summon it. Right now the demon it will probably be more helpful than the book right now."

"But what if it attacks one of us." Piper asked worriedly.

"We trap it with the Crystals so it can't go anywhere or do anything to us."

"It won't work the demon won't come to the charmed ones." Paige said.

"No but it will come to me. I am part demon and I can cloak my good energy from him so he will only be able to sense the dark part of me. Then he will come. Trust me. This is a trap I've done many times."

"You're sure this will work?" Leo asked looking at Kyla with concern.

"Yes."

"Well then lets do it. Paige get the Crystals." Piper ordered her sister.

"So you have done this before?" Leo questioned Kyla.

"Many times."

"And it works."

"Everytime. Don't worry Leo. I know what I'm doing."

"Where did you learn ho to do this?" he asked curiously still unsure about whether this would work.

"My dad." Leo noticed a quick wave of sadness pass over her as she said it.

"How exactly do you cloak your good side?" Phoebe asked joining the conversation.

"It's kinda complicated. Hard to explain."

"Got the Crystals ready." Paige yelled across the attic

"I guess its show time." Kyla said taking in a breath looking at her cousin. This was her only chance to save him.

Everybody stood behind Kyla as she took in deep breath and closed her eyes she started to recite the spell. As she did Piper felt a change in the air a powerful one it made the hairs on the back of her neck stand still as she waited for Kyla to finish. Suddenly a black funnel like thing appeared disappearing as quickly as it came leaving the demon in its place. The Crystals trapped him in his place. He looked up and scowled and tried to shimmer out realizing he had been tricked. He let out an angry growl knowing he was stuck and couldn't do anything to fight them he was a sitting duck.

"Why did you attack Chris? Who hired you?" Phoebe yelled at the demon.

"It was just a job. A simple one at that. Who woulda thought it would be so easy," The Demon's glare turned to a smirk. "I guess the Charmed ones aren't so charmed after all." He laughed.

Piper had to strain herself to keep from blowing this demon's head off. She just had to keep in control they needed the demon to help Chris.

"Who hired you?" Kyla asked her voice sounding darker then usual.

"Who do you think hired me?" he shot back,"It doesn't matter though does it whether you kill me right now or not your boy will be dead in a few minutes. I've already taken too much from him. He won't live."

Before he could say anything else Kyla conjured up an energyball and threw it at him. He burst into flame and was reduced to ashes. Piper let out a huge sob thinking there was no hope in saving her baby. Kyla looked at the ashes there was a talisman glowing green on top of the ashes she went to pick it up and was hit with a vision. It showed her holding the talisman in on hand and the other over Chris healing him. Grabbing it in her hand she ran over to her cousin

"Kyla? What?" Phoebe asked but Kyla didn't answer. They watched as she put the hand not holding the talisman over Chris's head and shut her eyes in concentration. All of a sudden her necklace glowed and white light came out of her hand and flowed into Chris. His face regained color and the glowing continued until the talisman stopped glowing and crumpled into dust. Kyla removed her hand from Chris. He blinked a couple of times trying to focus.

"Chris. Oh my god I was so scared. I thought I had lost you." Piper said tears streaming down her face as she hugged her son.

Kyla smiled and turned away as she felt to arms around her. Phoebe had pulled her into a hug. Leo was still adjusting to the fact Chris was his son. Kyla still felt lonely here in this happy picture. As Leo looked down at his son he still didn't know what to say. All his guilt came rushing back. He didn't deserve Chris. Chris looked up and saw the tears glistening in Leo's eyes as he spoke.

"Oh Chris I'm so sorry. After all I have done I have no right to ask you this and I will understand if you hate me but is there anyway you can forgive me?"

Chris half smiled

"I guess I could work something out. It was my fault anyway I didn't tell you guys anything."

"Why?" Leo asked

"Well I guess I was afraid of getting to close to you guys then not wanting to go back." He said looking down.

"Oh sweet." Piper hugged Chris again as she thought about how hard this must have been on him.
