Disclaimer: I own nothing from Charmed...

Chapter Four

Sunday 5:25 PM

Chris had been looking through the Book of Shadows again, sprawled in the same position he was in before he was in before he was interrupted by his fellow time traveler.

There's got to be something in here to expose a secret... Chris had been at it for—about how long now?...25? 30?—minutes looking for something to help him with his problem. What are you hiding...

He was so engrossed in his search that he didn't see a time portal going up and two demons stepping out of it until it was too late.

"Where is Master Brett?!" the demon yelled accusingly.

Chris flicked his wrist to send him flying across the room...but...it didn't do anything. He waved his entire arm now...and still nothing. Panicking, Chris formed two balls of pure white light in his hand and fired it at the demons, which just stood there as the balls seemed to extinguish as they soon as they touched them. Oh God...

Chris was in trouble. Sunday 5:22 PM

Brett stiffened in mid-step.

Oh, God...

"Uh...but...um...Bianca...wha...huh...," Phoebe trailed off as she was suddenly grasped by Paige, quickly losing enough sense to keep herself up. Paige stood there, staring from Brett to Piper then to Brett again, mouth half way slack-jawed

Brett turned around slowly, his left hand catching his side, his entire body resting on one leg.

Piper held fast with that same unnerving calm. That was the fourth time he did that...

"Uh...wha...how..." Brett gasped, eyes wide with worry and not a few unshed tears.

"It doesn't take a premonition to figure it out." Piper stole a sideway glance at the slowly, but steadily recovering witch before turning her eyes back to the young man in front of her.

"So...you do, don't you?"

"Uh...I...um...heh...uh...what I mea—"Brett answer was thankfully cut off by an explosion in the attic. All four heads turned to where the sound came from.

"Don't just stand there, Paige! Quick! Get us to the attic!" Piper exclaimed as she took her sisters' hands, leaving a wobbly running Brett to run up the stairs.
Sunday 5:27 PM

Chris was just about to be hit by a fireball when his mom and aunts orbed in.

"Energy ball!"

Instead of orbing to her, the energy ball in question, instead, just curved toward her, forcing her to duck behind the couch, opposite of the wall where Chris lay on the floor, looking slightly exhausted.

"What the fu—"Paige started but was cut off by her sister.

"Vanquish now, cuss later!" yelled Piper. Phoebe ran up to the demon closest to her and levitated to kick, but was only telekinetically deflected away by the demon's partner. The demon then fired another energy ball straight towards Phoebe while she tried using her empathy powers to tap into the demons. Her eyes widened when she found she couldn't. Just when it was about to hit her, she was telekinetically thrown across the room at Piper's feet.

"Why didn't you deflect that?!" Chris yelled, upset that his aunt wasn't thinking clearly.

"Why didn't you?!" she yelled back.

"My powers don't seem to be working on them, not even my Light Bombs!" he yelled.

"They don't have feelings!" Phoebe yelled, before realization kicked in.

"Your what?" Paige and Phoebe asked.

"They're sort of like, pure white energy balls...except good!" Chris grunted as he ducked to escape yet another fireball.

"Um...Hello?! Vanquish now, compare later!" Piper screamed.

"It's just that--" Phoebe began.

"What part of the unsaid 'Shut the hell up!,' don't you understand?!" Piper said, cutting her, while helping her up.

"I can't get to the potions!" yelled Paige from a corner of the room, desperately trying to bypass the fireballs that kept coming her way.

"Die, witch!" one of them yelled.

"Piper, blow them up!" cried Phoebe.

"I can't!"

"Then freeze them!"

"I'm trying!"

"Don't bother!" yelled a new voice. Piper turned to see Brett stumble into the attic. "You'll only waste your energy! You can't vanquish them like that! They're immune to Charmed powers!"

The sisters gasped in surprised. Oh, shi—

Chris eyes narrowed. How does he know...

The demons in questioned turned to the new voice. "Aww, there you are," one said with an evil smirk on his red and black face. "Master Wyatt wishes to see you now."

The sisters watched in surprise when both demons appeared to become dizzy and began swooning.

"Break."

The girls turned to look at Brett and noticed that his eyes turned completely white and his hand raised. When they turned back to the demons, they literally dropped to the floor appearing unconscious and lay unmoving for thirty seconds before finally erupting in flames.

"What...what was that?! I thought you only did illusions!" yelled an annoyed, and yet very grateful, Phoebe. Paige put her hands on her hips and a thin scowl formed on her face, and Piper eyebrow just creased, while Brett used the table next to him to help him steady himself while bracing his left hand on his knee in exhaustion.

(I never said that...)

"I did!"

(shi—maybe no one noticed...)

"I mean, I do!"

(Crap...you've done it now...maybe they'll just think it was an accident...)

"That's what happens when I go up against demons. I basically lock them in a mind trick and it's a battle of wills. I make them think that they're being killed by something and, eventually, they believe it and their minds die. Eventually, their bodies stop working and die, too," Brett said easily explaining his power.

(I wonder if Chris can sense—No! Don't think that, you idiot! He might be able to hear you!)

"I can."

Thanks again to everyone who wrote in. This was a short chapter so I should probably be able to type out another one a little after lunch time. I might even write three depending on how long I want to make each chapter in order to keep you in suspense.

I'm always open to suggestions, and you're always welcome.

Hoped you liked it. Please tell me if you did.
