Summary: Nobody knows about the true identity of Chris. But then he gets ill and Leo can't heal him...can the sisters save him? Are they ready for a sacrifice?

A/N: Sooooo many reviews… I am surprised. I did my best to update soon… it was just all so busy. And as I said: I wrote the first chapter a long time ago and I first had to get inspired again.

This chapter is a little bit shorter then the first one, but otherwise the update would have been much more later.

I am very thankful for each correction, concerning my grammar or writing: I try to correct the mistakes in my last chapter as soon as possible.

Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 2:

Leo immediately took Wyatt back in his arm. "Never do that again, do you understand me? You have to be very careful now, my big boy. Otherwise your Mommy will freak out." Leo said as calm as possible, but inside he had been shocked, as Wyatt suddenly orbed away.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Chris now mumbled… and Leo heard him clearly.

"Chris? Hey. Can you hear me?" Leo said and placed one hand on his shoulder. This time a connection up rise and Leo felt like his body was turned upside-down. But just as Leo thought he had a real connection, he was pulled out again.

"No!" Chris yelled and backed away from Leo, in case it was even possible on the couch.

The three sisters came running immediately.

"What happened?" Piper asked with a vial in her hand.

Leo was breathing hard. He was still shocked from the sudden pull out. "I… I think I had a connection with him… for a few seconds, but before I could even get a clear picture I was pulled out again." Leo told the sisters.

"Wait… what do you mean with connection… and picture?" Paige asked.

"Do you mean you can have visions, like me?" Phoebe asked curious.

"I have no idea." Leo admitted.

Chris was now curling himself up in the corner of the couch and he was mumbling stuff again.

Phoebe immediately went over to him and stroked his forehead, so he could relax.

"Poor boy!" she mumbled and suddenly she was really pulled into a vision.

First there was only fog, but then it slowly cleared, but it didn't disappear.

"Chris, could you please help me with these bags." A female voice said softly. Phoebe didn't really recognize the voice and she couldn't see her clearly either.

"Yes mum!" a childish voice said enthusiastic. But Phoebe could recognize Chris voice and a few seconds later she saw a maybe 10-year-old boy running down the stairs. Surprisingly this time she could see him clearly, but each time when she should have a clear view on his mother the picture misted again. Probably Chris is kind of controlling my vision. Phoebe thought.

She saw him helping his mother as he suddenly trembled. "Chris, everything okay?" his mother asked.

"Mom?" the child suddenly asked with fear in his voice.

"Chris!" the woman let her bags fall down.

And then the boy became unconscious and he fell to the floor.

"God, Chris." His mother was running over to him.

Suddenly the scene switched again… Phoebe saw Chris lying in his bed sweating – comparable to the scene like the about 22 year old Chris was lying on their couch.

"It's okay honey. Everything is okay. Mummy and Daddy are going to find a way to heal you –trust me! Just sleep a while, okay." His mother whispered in his ear.

"Mummy… am I dying?" the little boy whispered and Phoebe could hear or feel that his mother was crying. And Phoebe felt that tears were running down her face too. The little Chris was just so sweat and his mother's feelings were overwhelming her.

"No sweetie… just sleep." His mother whispered.

That was as Phoebe was pulled out and immediately landed in Paige's arms who was holding her.

"Mum." Chris whispered.

"Are you okay?" Paige asked her older sister.

"Huh… yeah." Phoebe said.

"What did you see? You were suddenly crying." Leo told her.

"Ehm… I saw scenes of his past… as he was ill too." Phoebe said.

"From a demon?" Paige asked.

"No, I don' think so. I have no idea why exactly I got this vision. I couldn't even see clearly. His mother was always in the mist." Phoebe said confused.

"Maybe you could just see what he is thinking right now." Piper suggested.

"Well…at least it seems that Chris can't block me anymore. It surely became confusing that I couldn't read him." Phoebe said.

"And now?" Paige asked after a while.

"We go on doing what we have done?" Piper suggested.

"Are we any further by now – in any aspect?" Phoebe asked.

"Nope… I have no clue who this demon was, or his master. But I wrote a few spells – to make a demon weaker or block his power – but I don't think that they will work that well… he is immune against our powers and the spells are for every demon – in case I don't learn who this demon really is, I can't write something useful." Paige told them.

"Well I have mixed different potions for all occasions – hopefully one will work: at least to stop him for while. I also mixed some stuff for us and Wyatt." Piper informed the others.

"Well… I just started to search for an antidote – I am working on it, okay." Phoebe said.

"Well I guess we really need to work on further, then." Paige sighed.

"I am on my way." Phoebe said and went out. And so did her sisters.

Leo was alone with Wyatt and Chris again. But something was different now… Leo could feel a tension in the air now. Something was very wrong, but he couldn't really say what it was. Leo took Wyatt in his arms and he hold him straight and he looked at Chris carefully.

"Mom, Wyatt… don't…" Leo heard Chris whisper.

But Leo had no time to react towards these words, because he became unconscious all of a sudden and so did Wyatt…

"…Leo? Could you please bring me some more vials from the attic?" Piper said from the kitchen. "I think Chris can sleep a few seconds on his own." She added.

She waited patiently for an answer. But as non-came… she went to the living room. "Leo… did you hear me? …" Piper said and stopped shocked as she saw her husband lying on the couch – sleeping… with Wyatt in his arms. Piper had to smile. "Was it that a heavy night, yesterday? I don't want to know what you have done." She said… that was when she finally noticed it… Chris… was gone.

She gasped. "Oh no… Leo, wake up, Leo! Phoebe! Paige!" Piper began to panic.

Although she hadn't trust the young Whiteligher… she began to see him as an Innocent, whom she had to save.

Her sisters came running down.

"Piper what happened?" Paige asked, who was the first who came downstairs.

"Okay. Where is Chris?" Phoebe immediately asked next, who had immediately noticed the empty couch.

"That's the question." Piper said. "Leo damn it, wake up." She yelled at her ex-husband, but he didn't move.

"What do you mean… wait, why is Leo sleeping… what the hell is going on." Phoebe asked totally confused.

Then it hit her. But Paige was faster then she. "The demon came back." Paige whispered.

"Damn it… and I was just ready with an 'maybe' antidote, for Chris." Phoebe cursed.

Piper now began to panic, again. "Leo… Wyatt, honey – wake up." Piper said and took her son out of Leo's arms.

"Is he hurt? Breathing?" Phoebe asked concerned.

"No and yes… he only seems to sleep…." Piper said.

"That's just great." Paige said – she was getting a headache.

"Okay… let's try this…" Phoebe said and opened the vial, with Chris 'maybe' antidote.

"What are you doing?" Piper asked as Phoebe went over to Leo and dropped a few drops of the antidote in Leo's mouth.

Leo immediately gasped. His eyes opened wide…

"What happened?" Leo asked confused as he finally calmed down.

"That's something we would like to know… Chris is gone." Phoebe explained.

"You are not giving your little antidote to Wyatt… you saw how Leo reacted to it. I don't want him to die because of a heart attack. Demons are dangerous enough already." Piper warned her sister.

"I never thought about giving it to him… I though Leo could heal him." Phoebe said.

"Wyatt… what's with Wyatt?" Leo asked scared.

"Sleeping, he is only sleeping. Calm down." Paige said.

But Leo nevertheless immediately rushed over to his son and healed him – successfully.

Chris was still very sick… but his uncomfortable position caused him to regain his conscious again. He was sitting on cold floor. His body was leaning against the wall and his hands were chained to it.

His eyes opened a little.

"Where am I?" He mumbled.

"I thought I gave you enough time to be cared from your parents… but as expected, they didn't find a solution for your pain yet… while I doubt that they tried. I think they were more concerned about the health of your brother." The demon said.

"Leave me alone." Chris said half asleep.

"And let you die? So easily? No. Your brother says that he wants to see you suffer – for your betrayal. He would have loved to come and say goodbye, but he had an important meeting, sorry." The demon said sarcastically.

Chris was already unconscious.

"Stupid boy… you will suffer and you will wish you had never been born, when I am ready with you." The demon said seriously.

A/N: Okay… I just tried to comment each review, but I noticed that they mostly ended with only thanks. So I guess, as I hardly have time… I just say: thanks to everybody who reviewed… hope you keep reading and reviewing. And I try to keep my grammar mistakes as low as possible ( maybe somebody is interested in beta-reading this story, just a question).

I guess I will think about a solution for the reviews… ;)… Keep on reading.
