"Leo! Do you even know where we are going?" Piper hissed at her ex-husband impatiently.
"Piper, will you please be quiet!" Leo retorted back. "I know where we are!"
"Really?" Piper asked sarcastically. "Then where is Chris?"
"Right behind this door!" Leo said matter-of-factly. Then he kicked open a door, only to reveal a room full of demons. "...oops..."
"Nice..." Piper hit him on the back of his head accusingly. "Yeah! Chris is definitely in here!" she added in as she started to blow up the demons advancing towards them.
"Piper, he has to be in here! I can sense him!" Leo argued trying to help Piper.
"Well then, where the hell is he?" Piper yelled back as she blew up a demon and then got hit by a demon, causing her to fly across the room and hit the wall with a loud thump. Leo ran to her and held his hand over her and healed her quickly. When he looked up only one demon was left and Piper was in no condition to fight.
"Leo, we have to get out of here!" Piper whispered weakly. Leo was about to orb the two of them out of there when a white orb flew from behind him and hit the demon, vanquishing him. Leo turned to face his savior and came face to face with non-other than Chris himself.
"Leo…" Chris stuttered out before collapsing in front of Piper. Leo let go of Piper and crawled on his knees to Chris. He saw cuts and bruises all over Chris' face and arms; there was a large gash on his back from his left shoulder to his right hip, which was bleeding profoundly.
"Don't worry Chris! I'll heal you!" Leo gasped as his hands glowed goldishly over Chris' body. Chris gasped loudly and slowly got up, all of his injuries were healed and gone.
"Thanks Dad!" Chris hugged his father but his hands dropped to his side as he backed away.
"Chris? What's wrong bud?" Leo asked concerned.
"No-nothing… Just stay away from me!" Chris' attitude suddenly changed. "Don't even try to make me feel like you actually love me!"
"Chris, sweetie! What are you talking about?" Piper cautiously asked. "You're father loves you! Sure he's done some things to regret but it's not his fault!"
"It's never his fault Mom!" Chris was crying now. "You've always taken his side! Just like he always took Wyatt's side!"
"Bud? Talk to me! Tell me what's wrong!" Leo tried to reason.
"Just forget it Leo! Just forget it!" Chris turned away wiping his eyes.
"What happened to 'Dad'?" Leo asked.
"What happened to Dad?" Chris repeated sarcastically before whispering something more that Piper and Leo could just barely hear. "That's something I've been wondering for years…"
Leo looked towards Piper questioningly, she just shook her head wondering the same thing he was.
"Come on guys! We have to get out of here before Wyatt realizes what happened!" Chris started to walk towards the door. "Where are Aunt Pheebs and Aunt Gigi?"
"Aunt Gigi?" Piper repeated.
"It's what we used to call Aunt Paige when we were little!" Chris replied, half to them and half to himself. Then proceeded to walk out the door and into the long narrow hallway. He motioned for Leo and Piper to follow.
Piper tried to walk a few feet but almost fell over; she was too tired from all of the power loss. Leo and Chris caught her by her arms at the last second, and slowly set her down with her back against the wall.
"Let's just orb her to a safe place!" Leo suggested. "It'll be easier and faster!"
"No we can't! Wyatt'll find out if we orb, he's set this whole place that way!" Chris snapped at Leo. "We have to walk!"
"Ok then!" Leo was getting angry too. "But where will we go?"
"There's a room that no one ever uses! I always use that room whenever we have an inside mission going on." Chris replied looking pleased with himself. "We never get caught! And the funny part is that it's only a few doors away from Wyatt's room!"
"Isn't that a little dangerous? Being so close to Wyatt?" Piper wondered out loud.
"That's the whole point! He won't expect that." Chris answered. "I know, I know! Only a genius could think of something like that!"
"Probably a gene-ass." Leo muttered under his breath but loud enough for Piper to hear.
"Leo!" Piper punched his shoulder lightly, but meaning it. "Don't be so mean! Otherwise he'll never forgive you!"
"Forgive me? For what? What did I ever do?" Leo started yelling. "Huh Chris? What did I ever do to you?"
"Nothing, you did nothing for me! That's the problem…" Chris' voice faded away, then he began shouting. "You were never there for me! You never loved me! It was always Wyatt this and Wyatt that! You never came when I called for you! Never!" Chris sung around to face his father and punched hard across the face, Leo's nose started to bleed.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Stop right there young man! You cannot do that too your FATHER in front of your MOTHER and get away with it!" Piper pushed Chris away from Leo.
"He's not my father!" Chris answered back lowering his voice looking around to make sure no one else had heard. "Man the felt good! I've wanted to do that for so many years now!
"Ok! Now that we've gotten all of that out of our systems can we continue? Someone's gonna find us if we don't hurry!" Piper started to push Chris and Leo forward. Chris shrugged and continued to lead them to the room. They were about to turn a corner when Chris suddenly stopped.
"What happened? Why'd you stop?" Leo asked trying to look over Chris' shoulder.
"Someone just shimmered into the hallway ahead of us, and by the noise they're making, it's more than one!" Chris whispered motioning with his hand for Piper and Leo to lower their voices.
"So, do you think we can take them all?" Piper asked quietly. "Or should we turn around?"
"No! The room's right around this corner, we have to go this way!" Chris answered then flexed his arms, getting them ready for the near-future fight. "Let's go!"
Piper and Leo followed Chris into the passageway and started to throw punches and kicks around. Suddenly Chris shouted for everybody to stop, and they all listened. When everything settled down, a very funny scene was revealed. Chris had Cole in a headlock, Phoebe and Piper had each other by their hair, and Leo had slung Paige over his shoulder. Slowly recognizing each other they let go and started to hug each other. Well, only Paige, Phoebe, and Piper were hugging each other and Leo, Cole, and Chris were just standing there watching. When they pulled back to talk, Phoebe was crying.
"Phoebe, what's wrong?" Piper asked softly.
"You should have seen her! She looked so miserable with him! And he- he was-" Phoebe couldn't stop her tears and they all came flowing out.
"Who? Who is she talking about?" Leo asked Cole but Chris answered.
"She's talking about Turner…" he whispered and then pushed his way through the small group making his way to the door. Silently he said a spell and the door swung open and exposed a large room with about 3 beds and a lot of couches and a large bathroom.
"Wow! Chris, how did y'all manage this?" Paige asked her nephew.
"This was originally a storage closet and that's what it'll look like to anyone who opens the door without saying the spell, but anyways. It's just a spell that causes a door to lead into many different rooms. Now memorize this spell,
Show us what we seek to find
The room that reveals our minds
A safe haven a place to hide
A trusting place for us to confide.
Got it guys?"
"Yep, I think we got it! After all we are witches! Rhymes are right down our alley!" Paige joked. Cole softly chuckled trying to lower the amount of tension in the room. It kind of worked and made Piper smile slightly.
"So Phoebe, what were you talking about with Turner?" Piper changed the subject.
"She's- she's with Wyatt… and the things he does to her, how can someone be like that and still be able to breath and live like a normal human?" Phoebe explained shocked.
"That's the thing, Aunt Pheebs! Wyatt isn't a human, he's much more evil than that! You don't know the things he's capable of, the things he's done…" Chris' voice faded away and his eyes stared off into empty space.
"Don't worry Chris! We'll save her! We'll get her back!" Paige assured her newly found nephew. "But for now just try to relax! You're gonna need all of your energy to go up against Wyatt and get Turner back."
Chris nodded and went and sat down on one of the couches, putting his feet up onto a small coffee table and resting his head back. Paige and Cole sat down next to him and sighed deeply. Phoebe sat on the armrest next to Cole with her arms around his neck; Leo and Piper shared the other couch. They spent most of the night talking about Chris and Turner and how Wyatt had slowly turned evil.
"It was like losing part of myself forever when Wyatt turned." Chris said to his mother. "A part of myself that I could never have back! He was my best friend!"
"Don't worry sweetie, you'll save him! You will!" Piper comforted her youngest son.
