Chris gulped loudly. He did not want to explain this to his father. He just wanted to go down to his room and talk this whole thing over with Persia. Once they had a plan of some sort they would go to magic school and work on getting a basic grip on their powers. Nowhere on his mental TO-DO list did it say 'get a lecture from Dad'.

Persia gripped Kyle's and Jake's hands tightly, silently begging them to stay with her. She was a little scared of Leo, because the few times she saw him, he was usually lecturing Chris or herself.

Evangeline looked uncomfortable for a moment, but then she remembered her charges, and stood behind Chris.

Leo turned to the Elders. "I'm sorry the kids were bothering you. I'll just take them home now. Don't worry, they'll get a just punishment for being up here."

Kyle stepped forward angrily, at the same time as Jake did. Evangeline stopped them by shaking her head, indicating that Chris had to speak for himself.

Chris didn't speak, he yelled. "I DON'T BELIEVE IT! I WAS IN TWO DIFFERENT DARK AGES AND YOU DIDN'T NOTICE! I'VE BEEN MISSING SINCE YESTARDAY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!"

Chris took a deep breath and continued. " I have done so much, and it's still WYATT WYATT WYATT! In case you haven't heard, I'm your son too! And I'm encouraged to come up here, because I have a charge and I need to learn how to be a whitelighter for when she's born!

Plus, the minor detail that I'm one of the only telekinetic witches left doesn't match up to Wyatt's destiny, power or anything, but I can still take care of myself, so you don't have to tell anyone to look out for me. Persia and I have more than proved we can do magic, we accidentally sat a sophomore exam in Magic school, and WE PASSED! 100 PERCENT, 30 OUT OF 30! WE HAVE HELPED SO MANY PEOPLE, MAGICAL AND MORTAL, but you still treat us like BABIES!"

Persia groaned. "Somebody's coming."

Paige orbed in behind her. "Young lady you are in so much trouble. Jake, you aren't supposed to be up here either."

Evangeline stepped forward. "My charges are allowed to be up here, so please do not assume otherwise."

Paige sized the newcomer up. "Who are you?"

"Evangeline. I'm a Salion demon."

Paige's eyes widened, and she searched in her mind for a vanquishing spell.

"NO! Don't vanquish her, she's neutral!" Chris yelled.

Kyle stepped forward. "I'll take Evangeline here to the manor, Chris, you and Persia take Jake. Leo, Paige, we have to talk. Everyone meet in the attic, including the kids."

Everyone did as he said, although Persia stopped to give her father a hug.

Kyle sighed as he took Evangeline to the manor. He would much rather go back to interrogating terrorists, than try convince the Halliwell family of something they didn't want to believe. He'd have a better chance of survival too.
