Chapter 8

"So… basically Sykes told you why he was doing this?" Piper asked.

"But the thing is, he didn't know the poisons were being used on witches and Whitelighters. Tozer was getting orders from someone else… a witch who's working for them. Tozer said…" she paused trying to remember. "Oh yeah, the witch is dying because one of the demons she ordered to give some to double crossed her and stabbed her with it,"

"But now we just have to figure out who." Paige finished.

"Is there anyone we know who's a witch -"

"Yeah." Paige interrupted.

"Who's evil?" Phoebe said, glaring at Paige.

"We can rule out Lucy and Hannah they were in completely different places," said Piper.

"Hannah doesn't have a power," Leo pointed out. "She's a Whitelighter-to-be."

Leo and Paige suddenly looked up. "Elders," they said together.

"Go," Piper waved at them dismissively.

"Leo," said the same Elder as before. "We've healed them," he smiled.

"How?" Leo asked, sighing with relief.

"Well, there were enough Elders here to all put our powers together and over power that magic in their bloodstream."

"Dad!"

Leo turned and Chris hugged him straight away. Lucy came over, Hannah too. Hannah nudged Lucy. "Wanna hang out at school?"

Lucy smiled at her. "Yeah," she said. "Yeah, I'd like that."

Chris turned to his dad and said, "Can I go home? I want to see mom to tell her I'm okay."

"Sure," Leo said. "I'll come with you. Thank you so much," Leo said meaningfully to the Elder.

"You're welcome." He smiled.

"CHRIS!" Piper cried as she saw him emerge from his Orbs.

"MOM!" Chris replied, pulling her into a hug. When he drew back he saw she was crying. "Hey, don't cry, I'm alright now." He reassured her.

"I'll take the girls home," Paige said.

"You girls alright now?" Phoebe asked them.

"Yes," they said in unison. Hannah hugged Phoebe. "Thank you for everything you've done for us." She said.

Phoebe then moved to hug Lucy when Hannah was by Paige. The strange thing was she drew back.. Phoebe then shook her hand and got a premonition.

Lucy down in the place Phoebe had been kept… Sykes was yelling at her over and over… Lucy lashed out and her eyes glowed red… Sykes cringed, afraid…

No one seemed to notice she had just received a premonition. They were all busy and Lucy had moved back to Paige. Phoebe tried to sense if the premonition was past or future.

It was past.
