A/N: First of all, I am very SORRY for the delay. But my school day is at the moment pretty busy. And I have hardly time to write. This situation won't change for the next two weeks, but then I have holidays – finally and then I hop that I can write more.
As I said I had not so much time, so there will probably be more grammar mistakes then usually… sorry.
The quartet: Chris, Pee, Kyle and Lil…
Chapter 7
Leo could duck in time, before the fireball hit him, but he didn't saw the second one coming, which hit him in his guts and let him only see black. Far away he could hear Piper's shocked voice: "Leo!" as the fourth and fifth fireball hit him.
Darryl became pale as he heard Beth's voice. He immediately threw a yellow crystal – which he always took with him – on the floor and ran over to Piper to prevent her from attacking Beth – who was about 40 years old. He pushed Piper in Leo's direction and gave a few men who came running a sign to help him calming down Beth.
The second Darryl had thrown the crystal the conversation room had turned red and a hologram showed the floor where Darryl was.
"God... Beth." Chris whispered and immediately orbed out. Pee took Sheila's arm and materialized with her out, while Kyle and Lil grabbed for the arms of Darryl's sons and they followed Chris.
"Beth… stop it." Chris yelled just as he orbed in. Beth was still throwing fireballs in Leo's direction, although a few witches tried to stop her.
Darryl meanwhile tried to get near her, but she started to attack him now too.
Piper was kneeling next to Leo and her sisters stood next to her… they were all shocked and felt quiet helpless, because their powers didn't work.
Chris gave the witches who tried to calm Beth down a sign to leave and so they did. That second Pee, Lil and Kyle appeared with their partners. As Beth threw a fireball against Chris he used his telekinese powers to throw it against the next wall. Darryl Jr. meanwhile had managed to free himself from Lil's grip and he stepped forward.
"Beth… it's me Darryl." Darryl Jr. said. But she just throw a fireball at him. Again Chris managed to flick it away.
Meanwhile Sheila and the others went over to Darryl. So only Chris and Darryl Jr. kept Beth away from Leo and the sisters.
"He is a murderer!" Beth yelled
"It isn't him." Chris said calmly and that caused Beth to hesitate the first time.
"He is right Beth… you know I would have killed him by myself if it was him…you know that I hate him as much as you do." Darryl Jr. said.
Beth began to tremble, then she fell to the floor and she started to cry. "But you let him stay here – alive. He can walk freely around… why?" she whispered crying.
Darryl and Sheila went over to Beth and they comforted her, while the quartet looked to the floor - sad. Darryl Jr. had left the scene with his brother immediately after Beth had calmed down.
"I have no idea what is going on here, but he needs to be healed." Piper interrupted them, with tears in her eyes – which were for Leo.
Chris looked up and sighed. "I need a Whitelighter." He said to Lil, but she shook her head. "No… only the three are at home – and I doubt that they will." She told Chris. Pee gave her a sign and the two materialized out. Chris sighed again. Why always me?
"Wait… Leo is hurt because of the crazy woman and nobody wants to help him?" Piper asked unbelieving.
"What the hell is going on here?" Paige supported her sister.
"She… we are not evil Piper, how often do we have to say it until you believe us? Beth had a hard time … I will orb you to the infirmary." He said exhausted and made a move with his hand and the sisters and the unconscious Leo orbed out. Now only Chris and Kyle were left and Chris looked over to Kyle - concerned.
"Are you okay." Chris asked.
"Why shouldn't I?" he asked back.
"Because you are still here." Chris simply said. Kyle only nodded. Chris took Kyle's arm and he orbed them out - to his room.
"It's okay…" Kyle just said. But Chris shook his head and he gave Kyle an order to sit on the bed, what he did.
"I remember as you came to me… I guess you haven't told it anybody till now." Chris said.
"They knew and you… and it's no problem anymore!" Kyle now said a little bit angry.
"You never did it once again. And maybe it's dangerous. Especially for those who relay on you." Chris said.
"It was never a problem in all those years…" Kyle was now really angry.
"But… You heard Richard. In case Wyatt is really is going to attack… I need to know that I can relay on you!... That you are ready to kill!" Chris said seriously.
Kyle glared at him. "You are not the leader, you didn't want to be, so don't act like one!" Kyle said angrily and orbed out.
Chris sighed, but then he finally followed the calls that were already giving him headaches. He orbed out to the infirmary.
"… the girl said there were Whitelighters here, so why the hell can't one of them heal him?" Leo heard Piper yelling as he became conscious again. He felt that he was lying in a bed…
"I told you he is fine… I mean he can't die, so just stop yelling, okay?" Chris said back calmly.
"It doesn't mean that he can't feel pain!" Piper argued back.
"What the hell was it anyway?" Paige asked.
"Was she a demon?" Piper added. But before Chris could answer Leo squeezed Piper's hand. Piper turned around immediately.
"Oh god, Leo!" she said and Leo's vision slowly came back and he could see Piper, Paige and Phoebe – with Wyatt on her arm – standing around his bed – a real bed. Chris was standing in the middle of the room and seemed pretty annoyed,
With the vision back, his feelings came back too and that meant a lot of pain. – it was as if his whole body was burning from inside.
"You are going to be fine." Piper whispered in his ear and kissed him on his forehead.
"Piper… I am not a baby!" Leo answered as a joke, but nobody laughed.
That was as a man entered the room. "Oh… I see he finally woke up." The man said. He nodded towards the annoyed Chris, who immediately left the room.
"Where did he go?" Phoebe asked.
"Our Leader wants to talk to him." The doctor only answered.
"How long was I unconscious?" Leo asked the people in the room.
"Two hours?" Paige said and looked at the clock at the wall.
"Piper nearly had a breakdown and she was yelling at Chris the whole time!" Phoebe added.
"Thanks Pheebs!" Piper said sarcastically and she gave Phoebe a look which was supposed to stop her from babbling.
"Two hours?" Leo asked shocked.
"What's the last thing you remember, Mr. Wyatt?" the doctor asked.
"Oh… I think I remember everything. The woman who got furious as she saw me and who accused me as a murderer and then two fireballs which hit me." Leo told the doctor, who nodded.
"Well… I think I can't do anything more for you… I am sorry. We actually aren't prepared for such incidents!" the doctor said to the family.
"Wait! That's all? …" The door opened and Clara entered, but Piper didn't notice her. "No medicaments or healing? I mean we are in the future and we have magic and you have anything for him?" Piper said frustrated.
"Piper calm down… I am fine!" Leo tried to relax his ex-wife. Phoebe and Paige smiled at each other. Maybe there was still hope for the two.
"You only need to wait four hours." Clara interrupted the silence and everybody turned around to her. Clara gave the doctor a sign that he could leave now and he closed the door behind him.
"What do you mean?" Piper asked confused.
"At the latest you are back in your time in four hours. There you can call a Whiteligther to heal your Leo." Clara simply said.
"Oh… that's your perfect plan?" Piper said sarcastically.
"How bad are we actually in this time? I mean there must be a reason why you treat us like trash now." Paige said.
"I am sure. In case our counterparts would know that, you would get a lot of trouble." Phoebe added.
"Yes… because you are the Charmed Ones right?" Clara said sarcastically. But she cut the sisters off as they wanted to comment it, by making a move with her hand – which caused that a few books appeared on the table next to her.
"You are a conjurer." Paige said impressed.
"Here is stuff for you to read – something harmless. And hopefully you won't cause any trouble anymore." Clara said and with these words she left the room.
"Ohhhh. Can I say that I don't like her?" Phoebe said – her mood was pretty down right now.
Paige took one book. "Oh… 'magical history of the 18th century'" Paige said and passed the book over to Phoebe. She took a Book about demons for herself and she sat down on a chair next to Leo's bed. Piper was holding Baby Wyatt now and she still sat next to Leo…
As Chris orbed in, Lil was yelling with Pee and Kyle – they were all in Kyle's room. Like Chris' room it wasn't really big and the room was definitely not filled with stuff which a 20 year old man has in his room in the sisters and Leo's time and maybe not even in this time. The four of them had all – besides some other people – a lot of responsibility. The room was filled with papers, maps, potions, books and other magical stuff.
"I did what I though was right thing to do…" Lil was just yelling and glared at Pee and Kyle.
"Don't tell me that you were yelling at each other for two hours and about the same subject." Chris said. He gave Kyle a short look, but they both knew that they would talk about their last conversation some time later… till the – nothing happened.
"No….First we had to clean up the floor and calm down Beth." Pee defended them.
"That means you were only yelling for one hour and fifty minutes?" Chris asked ironically.
"Not funny!" Pee said.
"Don't you think that it's an interesting subject?" Lil said to Pee and glared at Chris now too.
"You changed… did you notice that?" Kyle said to Chris and Chris knew exactly that this was kind of a revenge for their last conversation.
"What?" He nevertheless asked.
"A half year ago, you never joked, expect you had to cheer up somebody, now you did it on your own… you are not so serious anymore." Pee answered for Kyle.
Chris face immediately became hard again.
"Chris… it…" Lil started, but then she bit on her own lip.
They had known each other since they were babies and they had learned to accept the different characters. Especially Chris was just… Chris.
"Did you talk to Richard?" Chris asked and the other three flinched as they heard his words.
"Yeah… this also took about an hour." Pee said with a smirk.
"Did I already mention that I can't wait till they are gone?" Lil asked… they had a forgotten about their fight.
"Only four hours are left and they will stay in the infirmary. Clara made sure that they won't leave." Kyle said.
"Do you actually think that it is a good idea? I mean not healing Leo?" Lil asked. "I say it because of Piper… not because of Leo." She added fast as she saw the looks of the others.
"It's the best way to keep them distracted and under control." Chris said, but it was obvious that he wasn't so happy about his doing, either.
Suddenly Pee was rubbing her head.
"Everything okay?" Chris asked.
"Yes… just a few headaches." She answered.
"You are sure that you don't want to see a doctor?" Kyle asked concerned.
"I am fine, okay?" Pee said angrily.
"A doctor? Aren't you a little bit overreacting?" Chris asked Kyle surprised. "Are you sick?" He asked Pee.
"No… and that's what I try to explain Kyle and the others since a month." She said annoyed.
"You don't know yet, right?" Lil noticed.
"It seems so." Chris said confused.
"And he doesn't need to." Pee said and glared at Lil and Kyle.
"A month ago she disappeared during a mission…" Lil started and simply ignored Pee.
"… and one week later she came back. With no memories about what had happened in this week." Kyle continued, also ignoring Pee's glares.
"And you didn't let a doctor check you?" Chris asked concerned.
"I was checked, if I was under a spell or potion and if I was possessed by a demon. That's what is important, right?" Pee said angrily.
"No… The importance is that you are back, healthy." Chris said and Pee smiled at him thankfully.
"I am fine, really." She said to the three others.
"We all have our little secrets, right?" Chris said and they all smiled sadly.
"About your time traveling…" Pee started a new subject.
"… we wrote a few spells and we mixed a few potions, but we are not so sure, that they will work." Lil ended Pee's comment.
"And we don't want to send you to the moon, because we need you home immediately… so we decided for a blood spell… and a lost and found spell." Pee finished.
Kyle got a medal out of his pocket. "We thought that the most save way would be, that we call you back to us… you just need to take this medal… we already prepared it." He explained.
"It will hold you in the portal. Long enough so that you can see, if they are back in their time and so that we have time to cast the spell." Lil ended.
"I think it's a good idea… but you know that I hate portals… so do me a favor and hurry." He said.
"As I said. Everything is prepared… we could cast the spell in every second." Kyle said.
"The only thing we still need is your blood." Pee said and she took an athamate from Kyle's table and Lil took out a vial from his cupboard.
Baby Wyatt wasn't really in a good mood. The tension in the room was depressing and he was bored.
Phoebe tried to cheer him up and she played with him on the floor. She had found some tools in the cupboard.
"Da… da!" Wyatt said and Phoebe went with her hand through his hair.
"Yes your dad will be fine soon." She said and made a face to Wyatt, so he had to giggle.
The four young witches were on their way to the meeting room.
"There is still one problem… one that could maybe change my future a lot." Chris said.
The others looked at him concerned.
"What do you mean?" Lil asked.
"In the past we have … 2004" Chris just said.
Kyle and Lil looked at him… not understanding.
But Pee had to smirk and then she began to laugh – which actually hide the sad look in her eyes, a look which showed pain.
"What's so funny?" Lil asked.
Pee looked at Chris. "I am not so sure that she is already old enough for that…I mean did we already had the talk?" she asked him and Chris had smirk now too.
Pee's comment finally made Kyle and Lil understand.
"Oh…" Kyle said and he looked at Chris. "You are in a lot of troubles… I can tell you." He said seriously to Chris.
"Why the hell did you have to split them up?" Lil panicked.
"Calm down Lil… I still have a month. And by the way: it was an accident. I wouldn't risk my existence." Chris said back.
"And what's your plan?" Kyle asked as he opened the door to the meeting room.
"I actually already cast a spell." Chris said a little bit embarrassed.
"You cast a spell on your parents? You have to be kidding me, right?" Lil said disgusted. Kyle and Pee meanwhile had to laugh.
"I only made the bound between them stronger… nothing that would really manipulate their feelings." Chris tried to defend himself.
"So that is the only problem? You fear they won't get together in time?" Kyle asked.
"I nearly have the feeling that it doesn't work at all." Chris answered.
"Don't worry Chris. Your parents are meant to be together. I mean they already went through so much – even in their time… you rearranged their lives as if you never split them up… so don't worry – they won't let you down." Pee said with a smirk on her face.
"Why do I have the strange feeling, that you are making fun of me?" Chris said.
"How is Leo?" Richard interrupted their talk as he came near.
"They are all in the infirmary…" Clara answered, who just came from the other direction.
"Good… and how far are we with Chris' time travel problem?" Richard asked.
"Ready!" Lil said with a smile and showed Richard the paper with the spell on it.
"Good." Richard said, as he read the spell and passed the paper back to Lil.
"Our newest report says that about a dozen demons had been near the entrance. But don't worry – they could vanquish them all, without a loss on our side." Richard informed them all.
"So it starts now!" Kyle noticed. And the others agreed.
"I doubt it." Chris simply said and the others looked at him questioning.
"Leo isn't stupid. He knows that we have Leo… and I am pretty sure that he knows that Leo is talking – I don't say that I believe him … it's just a distraction. In case Leo says the truth, Wyatt is surely planning something bigger. I have no clue what it is, but a simple demon attack wouldn't be enough fun for him." Chris said.
"That's the reason why we need you so much. That's the reason why you are supposed to be our leader… you could…." Pee said, but Chris stopped her.
"It's not what I want and you know that… so forget it." He said. "God… you are family too, and we are hiding from him already for 8 years… you can't seriously tell me that you don't know him already." Chris said unbelieving.
The others kept silence. They knew that Chris hated the 'leader' subject and that they should only mention it if he does it first. So they didn't comment on it.
"So… keep your eyes open. Is there something we could do besides reading etc.?" Chris asked Richard.
"What about 'the ROOM'?" Lil suggested.
"Oh yes. Let's see what you have learned the last half year!" Pee said happily.
The quartet loved to go to the ROOM… it allowed them to be who they were. It was comfortable.
"That's a good idea. You still have three hours left and as you are not allowed to go out… relax a little." Richard said, while he gave Clara a short mean look.
Chris nodded and the quartet orbed (Chris and Kyle) or materialized (Pee and Lil) out.
The ROOM was a room without doors. Each person, who was allowed to go there had his own ways to do it (it means that also mortals could get in). Along the walls were little crystals flying, they sparkled in all colors and together they made a rainbow wall, which was surrounding the whole room. They had the purpose to protect and absorb magical powers, so that no magic got out of the room. The room was actually for all magical beings to relax, train their powers, test some new magic or to fight.
The quartet actually mostly used the room for fights. For them this was relaxing. For them it was a game – not in the reality.
Immediately as they all appeared in the ROOM, they allocated themselves in each corner of the big room.
"Two against two?" Lil asked.
"Yep… Kyle and me against you two." Pee said and everybody nodded. And then they closed their eyes…to focus their powers.
Just as they opened their eyes Chris immediately used his telekines powers to throw her against the wall. But thanks to the crystals a protection shield caught her and let her land softly.
"Why always me?" Pee complained, but she immediately formed an energyball in her hand and attacked Chris.
Kyle meanwhile orbed behind Lil and planned to attack fast, but was faster and kicked behind her.
They fought against each other and they had fun, it was relaxing to use their powers just for themselves and not for demon hunting. They actually loved to use their powers – but just for entertainment. Being born with them was the best that could have happened to them. Wyatt had thought that way too… a long time ago. Now he only uses them to harm other people and he forces others to use theirs for defense and fights – real fights – and they often involved the quartet too.
After about three hours they were really exhausted… but they had fun, and it had been a great feeling…
"I would say we won." Pee said as they all lay on the floor.
"Oh, really, you think so? Well I am sorry to tell you that you are wrong!" Lil said exhausted.
"You all did notice that we are here for already three hours, right? I mean, does anybody know when exactly their 24 hours are over?" Kyle interrupted the other two.
"You are right, we should go." Chris said and he helped the others to stand up.
Piper was pacing through the whole room now, while Leo was wincing in his sleep. Darryl was waiting in the room now too.
"Where the hell is Chris?" Piper asked impatiently.
"Calm down honey." Paige said while she was holding Wyatt.
"Leo is in this condition since hours…I want to get home as fast as possible." Piper said.
"Actually we don't need Chris for the time travel thing… we need nothing but the right moment." Phoebe said, while she was holding Baby Wyatt.
Just in that second Chris orbed in. "Ready to go?" he asked sarcastically.
"Is everything ready?" Darryl asked Chris, who simply nodded. "… as always." Chris just answered.
"I suppose that we don't need to understand that either." Paige said.
"Do we actually know when exactly we switched the timeline?" Chris asked Paige.
"Not exactly." She started.
"We arrived in 'Home' at 5 p.m." Darryl informed the others. "How long did you run around?"
"Not more then an hour." Chris said.
"That means we should be away from here at last at 4.30 p.m." Chris said, while he was playing with the medal.
"So we can just wait?" Phoebe concluded while she was watching her clock.
The time went on….
But as they waited till fife o'clock and nothing happened, Chris became frustrated.
"Okay, what the hell is going on?" he asked peeved.
"Shouldn't we be in our time a long time ago?" Phoebe asked while she became headaches.
"Maybe because you are here… in Home." Darryl suggested.
"No… or … what exactly did you say in your spell?" Chris asked.
"Ehm… I have to think … wait…" Paige started to remember, while Chris looked at her unbelieving.
"The whole time you all tried to find a faster way home, you didn't even look at the spell you cast? What exactly have you done the whole time?" he asked them.
"Read books." Phoebe mumbled.
"God, you are already witches for six years, but nevertheless you all still don't know how to reverse a spell." Chris said frustrated.
"At the beginning you were with us in the magic room and you didn't mention it either." Phoebe answered back.
"Just give me a piece of paper and a pen and I will write the spell down for you, okay?" Paige tried to calm down everybody.
Darryl took all Paige needed out of a cupboard and passed it to her. Paige wrote the spell on a paper and passed it over to Chris. He read the spell, again and once again, while he was mumbling some comments, which nobody could understand.
"I don't understand… this spell is perfect..." Chris finally said.
"Thank you." Paige said a little bit proud.
But Chris didn't notice her. "It should have worked… there is no hint… why did we end up here?" Chris mumbled.
"Okay… it's enough. I don't care for your damn rules… the girl from before said that there are Whitelighters here and Leo's future self is here too… so bring them here… Leo's suffer has to end and it doesn't seem as if we get home in a few minutes…" Piper said angrily.
Chris knew that he couldn't do anything but to help Leo.
"Okay, but you all have to leave now…" Chris said.
"But…" Piper started, but Phoebe touched her arm and nodded towards the door, so Piper finally sighed and the sisters and Darryl left the room.
"I know that you are watching… so could one of you two please come and heal him. I only ask for this one favor." Chris pleaded. A few seconds nothing happened, but finally blue orbs appeared.
