Chapter 11
Leo orbed back into magic school
"Leo" breathed an elder
"Dustin" Leo nodded back "What's up?" he asked
"The charmed ones their magic is dwindling away as we speak I wonder if you know why?" he asked the elder was a little older than Leo a slightly more muscle build but shorter his hair a straw colour that was messily spread over his head often when worried he looked like a frightened puppy
Leo nodded "Then try and fix it" Dustin told him Leo shook his head
"If I could I would"
"Why can't you"
"Jennie is in control I have no control"
"Your boys your their father and you're the girls uncle you are much more to them than an elder" Dustin reminded him it was now Leo realised both where whispering
"Why have you come here now?" Leo questioned Dustin looked take aback
"I can sense that by carrying out your plan while yes is for the greater good will harm you and your family much more"
"But if it's the greater good" Leo began even though he didn't believe it
"The greater good is what killed Chris last time" Dustin's voice was lower still suddenly both men straightened as Jennie orbed down
"Dustin Tilbury!" she barked waving a hand at him orbs came away
"You will wait up there" he orbed away Leo realised that Jennie had just bound his power of orbing
"Leo we have to hurry the charmed powers will only be available to these children now!" she told him he nodded deep down still knowing what he was doing was wrong and what Dustin had said was right
"Wyatt! Chris! Poppy!" he shouted the children came in
"It's time" Jennie smiled neither child smiled back but fixed her with a frosty gaze Leo looked on reproachfully avoiding their gaze Jennie raised her arm and lights floated down into each child Chris stumbled grazing Poppy with his hand as he went and gasped he opened his eyes and looked at her she stared open mouthed
"Did you just have a premonition?" she asked he nodded
"You can orb and shoot orb particles and everything your powerful damn powerful!" he told her she grinned uncertainly Wyatt stepped forwards
"And me?" he asked determined not top be left out Jennie smiled softly
"Point at that light" she told him he did so and it exploded with more power and multicoloured lights than Pipers ever did
"Wow!" he breathed Leo frowned
"I gotta go back to the manor" he whispered and orbed away Piper was sat on the couch looking sick
"What wrong?" Leo asked forgetting his worry and anger
"I feel a bit ill that's all just came over me" she said he was about to tell her when a demon shimmered in
"Phoebe!" Piper gasped Phoebe in Shim form the only way Piper could tell it was her little sister was by the necklace dangling from her neck the one she and Paige had exactly the same of the one they'd gotten just after Poppy's wiccaning the triqutra one
She raised her hands to freeze Phoebe but it didn't work thinking it was because Phoebe was still a good witch which meant she hadn't killed yet she attempted to explode the vase to scare her sister away it didn't work Phoebe pounced Leo waved his hand and sent Phoebe away orbing her back to the ditch she'd slept in last night
"Why don't my powers work!" Piper asked hysterically she stomped away banging into Paige and Kyle's room the two of which where awake cuddled up chatting
"Hey" Paige smiled sleepily
"My powers are gone!" Piper shrieked
"Omigod!" Paige sat up wrapping the bed sheet around her attempted to orb the baby rattle to her she then tried with two hands which made her drop the bed sheet to her waist she blushed crimson and picked it up covering herself Leo turned away an equal shade of red
"Aw crap!" Paige said
"And Phoebe yeah she's off gallivanting still!" Piper sat down
"Look I know where your powers are" Leo said still blushing Paige snuggled back up to Kyle each one turned to face him
"Your powers are gone because" he gazed at each one preparing them for the bombshell he was about to drop "Your not the charmed ones anymore" Paige's mouth opened and closed like a fish and Piper's just set in a thin straight angry line
"Piper?" Paige asked carefully
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRG!" Piper screamed she got up and stomped back to her room locking the door behind her
"What's up with her?" Kyle asked Paige whacked him
"What? I mean sure ok her powers have gone but hello doesn't she want a normal life?" he asked Paige whacked him again "Idiot!" she hissed before stomping out of the room bed sheet wrapped around her tightly she knocked carefully on Pipers door
"Go away!" came the tearful answer
"It's me" Paige said
She heard sniffing and then the door opened a crack Paige pushed it and it opened she went inside wrapping Piper into a hug
"What's wrong?" she asked knowing it was more than her powers
"With out our powers how are we supposed to save Phoebe?" she sniffled Paige sighed
"Phoebe's been gone three days now we haven't seen her since her fight with Luke I think we need more than our powers"
Piper nodded and swallowed
"Ok I'll be down in a bit you go get dressed" she told her back in big sister mode Leo came to the door
"Are you ok?" he asked his concern evident from his face
"You" Piper pointed "Downstairs we need to talk" she told him he did as he was told much to Paige's amusement she went off to get dressed Kyle was already pulling a white vest top over himself
"The Elders are calling I'll be back later" he kissed her lightly and turned to orb she grabbed him and kissed him he pulled her closer "what's that for?" he whispered she smiled "just a goodbye" she winked and he orbed away she grinned to herself and began to get dressed she could hear Piper yelling at Leo downstairs she was concerned about her powers and her charmed status but she knew they'd fix it
Paige bounced down the stairs
"So now who is?"
"Hey start again late arrival" Paige asked Leo turned
"The Elders decided that it was time you guys where given a break from your charmed destiny"
"By Break they mean we don't get it back" Piper interjected
"It took you an hour to say that?" Paige asked
"No I was yelling at him" Piper told her clearly still on edge
"So who is the new charmed ones?" she turned back to her husband
"Your descendents" Leo said
"OUR CHILDREN!" Paige shrieked
"Yes Poppy Wyatt and Chris" Leo barked Paige felt her chest tighten at the thought of her one year old daughter fighting demons and the thought of all the tears they'd been through suddenly she found she couldn't catch her breath the room wobbled she felt Piper stand next to her and hold on
"Paige?" she asked uncertainly Paige tried once more to breath and passed out
"Leo heal her!" Piper told him he bent down and began to heal Paige but it didn't work
"Crap!" Piper hissed
"Hi Piper Halliwell? I'm doctor Love" said the tall new doctor at san Francisco ay hospital Piper might have found that funny if she wasn't so worried
"You sister suffered a panic attack which caused her to pass out she'll be fine however I would like to ask what caused her reaction" he asked
"Why was it really bad?" Piper bit her lip the doctor nodded
"Me and my husband were arguing" Piper began the doctor lead her to the relatives room
"Paige was involved in the issue she tried to find out what happened my husband he told her something about Poppy her daughter and my children she just froze and then passed out" Piper explained the doctor Frowned
"Was the argument serious?"
"Yes and no" Doctor love nodded
"Well I'm happy for Paige to return home with you rest and no stress for two days and come back next week for some tests" Piper nodded he pointed her through and she rushed in Paige was sat up staring into space
"Finally I can get outta this bed" Paige said irritably Piper nodded
"Are you ok?" she kissed the top of her sisters head Paige nodded
"Come on!" Piper looked around Paige was packed and dressed
"Man you do hate hospitals" she laughed she wasn't to fond of them either
"Come on!" Paige protested Piper lead her out and then called for Leo he orbed them home quickly
Kyle orbed down
"Are you ok? Leo told me you were in hospital" he stepped towards Paige she smiled
"I'm fine" she hugged him tightly but felt him tense
"Leo" he asked
"Yeah?" Leo replied
"I need a word out there" he nodded to the hall the two guys went out Piper turned to Paige, Paige shrugged and sat down
"Where are the kids?" she asked wistfully
"Up there probably away from us so we can't hide them or something" Piper said sadly
"I want my little girl now!" Kyle's voice boomed Paige turned to the hall to see Kyle push Leo back Leo furiously grabbed Kyle and punched him in the face Kyle grabbed him back and the two began to push and punch each other the two woman hurried over to them Paige grabbed Kyle and Pulled her back Piper went to grab Leo but he pulled his fist back hitting her sharply in the face
"Ouch! Right quit it!" Paige crossed to her sister and looked at her cheek gently
"You need ice" she led her sister through turning to deliver her husband and brother in law a scolding glance boot looked equally ashamed
After about ten minutes Piper and Paige returned
"What was that about" Paige asked Piper looked at Leo he sighed
"Poppy Chris and Wyatt can't come back here because their not babies anymore"
"What? How?" Kyle asked his anger returning
"I cast a spell they've become teenagers"
"How old?" Piper asked
"Old enough"
"How old?" Piper asked again
"Poppy's 15 Chris is 16 Wyatt 17" Leo told them
"Jesus!" Paige exclaimed
