A/N: I think I heard the words, "you are so evil" more after last chapter than I have after any that I've written. Does that mean it was a good one? LOL Long live the evil cliffies!

By the way- I now have a forum on this site, for questions, ideas, etc... about my stories. The address of my forum is now in my profile, if you want to check it out.

Cole shimmered in to the kitchen behind Phoebe. "Guess who? OW!" he whirled, feeling a low voltage energy ball hit him. Wyatt stood behind him, looking sheepish.

"Er…sorry Cole. I forgot you went out on a mission. I just…saw shimmering, and thought you were a demon. A real demon, that is." Wyatt stopped trying to explain and laid his hand over the bloody spot, healing him.

"You ever hit me with an energy ball again, Wyatt, and you're going to find out how 'real' of a demon I can be." Cole snapped.

"Cole, honey, he apologized, and he healed you. Stop being grumpy at him, you know we're all a little jumpy right now." Phoebe soothed, hugging him tightly.

"Besides, it was just a low voltage ball- it wasn't going to kill you." Wyatt muttered, not able to help himself.

"Just a low voltage ball." Cole sing songed back to him with a grimace.

"Okay, boys. Enough." Phoebe quickly stood between them. "Sweetie, did you find out anything? I didn't expect you back so soon."

Cole quickly sobered. "You guys were right. There's definitely something big going on. There's a group of female assassins that have been contracted to kill you all. Konix is the leader of the group. They have a special tool that allows them to get close to their victims. Simply put, they are gorgeous, both the males and the females. They are physically perfect specimens of man and womanhood. And they release pheromones- sexual come on dust, if you will. They seduce their victims to get close to them- and then they strike. They kill after the seduction."

"How do you know so much about them?" Phoebe asked suspiciously.

"Remember when the Triad was sending bounty hunters after me? Konix was one of the assassins that tried to kill me. The only reason she didn't succeed was that there is a loop hole in their pheromone enchantment. One who is truly in love, can only be temporarily seduced, but not completely go under their spell. I was totally in love with you when she tried to kill me. She managed to lure me to her lair, but I snapped out of her enchantment before she could plunge her fancy jeweled athame into my chest."

"Oh my God." Phoebe whimpered, covering her mouth with her hand.

"Honey, I'm okay. But listen, everyone in this family has got to be on their toes. If there is any- and I do mean any- relationship issues, you need to get them out in the open now. Fix it, because they will detect any chink in your armor, and use it against you. These assassins aren't anything to play around with. They are powerful and capable. And they have a high power client that wants you all dead."

"So how do we resist the pheromones? I mean, Mom, Aunt Paige and Aunt Phoebe are all protected. They all are in love with no obvious problems, at least as far as I know. Me and Chris are totally in love with Abby & Maya, so that's not a problem. And Paisley is totally content with Ryan. But the girls…they don't have anyone. Are they at risk as young as they are?" Wyatt asked anxiously.

"Every one of you is at risk as long as you are old enough to feel love, which means the only one immune to them is Phiona. She's too young to experience the emotion of love."

"Oh, come on! Phyra's only 13, she's not old enough for love!" Wyatt protested.

"Think about it, Wyatt. How old were you when you had your first case of puppy love?"

Wyatt's face drained of color. "About 12. Jenny Millhouse."

"There you go. She's old enough." Cole got a charge out of being right. There was something about Wyatt that irritated him sometimes. Wyatt had a habit of always thinking he was right. When Cole could prove him wrong, he always got a surge of pure happiness.

"So how do they fight these things off?" Phoebe asked, scared for her daughter and nieces.

"For starters, we hope that there is some guy, somewhere that they are infatuated with. But in case they don't, you need to get them somewhere safe. There has to be some place that evil cannot go." Cole responded thoughtfully.

"No, Cole. Everywhere that good magic can go, bad magic can too. Even 'Up There' with the Elders. It takes a high power level concentration, but they can do it. There isn't a place anywhere that only good magic can exist."

"Well, not a place in this time anyway." Chris input from the doorway.

"Huh?"

"Remember when Future Chris & Future Wyatt were here last year? Well Future Chris and I talked for a few minutes, and he told me that one of his kids had discovered a place in the future that only good magic could access. Evil was instantly repelled from the boundaries of this place."

"Well, that's all well and good, Chris, but unless we can find that place now, it can't help us." Phoebe whispered.

"We don't need to find it now. Phy, Patience and Pey are the most at risk, right? So why don't I just send them to the future for a while? Then when these assassins strike, they'll only meet us, and we'll all be able to fight them off. Then I can go and get the three of them when it's safe again."

"I don't know, that's awfully risky, Chris. What if it changes, or if it doesn't work. I don't want my daughter trapped in the future forever!"

"Aunt Phoebe, they won't be alone in the future. Future me and Future Wyatt will work to keep them safe. Not to mention, their future selves will help. Look, how else are we going to protect them? Isn't it better to take a risk this way, than to risk leaving them here to get seduced to death?"

"Actually, I'd rather protect them myself, Chris."

"Yeah, I know. I'd rather them stay here so that I can personally see to their safety too. But we both know that if we get even temporarily seduced, our minds won't be on them. We will leave them vulnerable. Do you really want to take that chance?"

"Of course not. But, oh, God…I just don't know what to do. Cole, what do you think?" Phoebe looked up into the eyes of her fiancée.

Cole stood in shock. As much as he knew Phoebe loved him, this was the first time she'd ever asked his advice on dealing with an issue involving her children. "Well, I'm not a parent, Pheeb. But I think if I were, I'd want to keep them safe at all costs. I think you should send them to the future to the good magic place. Besides, if you think about how powerful Wyatt and Chris are now, they must evolve over time, so they must be absolutely awe-inspiring in the future. They'll protect them." Cole snorted. "Well, as long as the little darlings don't team up on them and cast a spell." He still hadn't totally gotten over Phyra and Peyton tricking him to go to Vegas.

"Okay. If you all think that this is the right way, I'll agree. But Chris, I want you to bring them, not just open the portal. You go with them, and make sure that they are in the right place, and that everything is okay before you leave them there."

"I will, Aunt Phoebe. I promise, I won't take any chances with their safety."

"Okay then. As long as you guys can convince Paige, then I'm in."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"No, no, no! You are not taking my daughters to the future. Do you remember your future Chris? What if you take them into Hell? No, I want my girls here where I can keep them safe." Paige insisted angrily at the family meeting Chris & Wyatt had called.

"Aunt Paige! You can't keep them safe from this. You heard what Cole said. If they aren't in love, then they can't fight this off. Wouldn't you rather your girls be alive and apart from you for a while, than dead and with you for a few days more?" Chris broke in with brutal cutting honesty.

Paige's eyes glittered with tears, as she burrowed into Jax's arms for comfort. "I don't want to lose my girls, Paige. If you won't agree to send them to the future, then I will." Jax spoke quietly.

"Jax, they are 13 and 15. What if something goes wrong? What if this new good magic haven has been breeched by now? What if…what if something has changed, and Chris' old future is now the new future? It's not just the girls I'm worried about. Chris is going too, at least for a few minutes. If there is still an evil dictator running around, then Chris will be a target."

"Aunt Paige, we have absolutely no reason to assume that the future is evil again. If it were, Future Chris would have come back to change it again." Wyatt argued.

"Only if he were able to come back! What if he died this time before he could come back? Or what if he is the evil one this time?" Paige tossed out the horrid scenarios as quickly as they came to her mind.

"Paige, honey, you have to trust them. Chris and Wyatt aren't stupid. They won't take chances with Phyra, Peyton or Patience. Chris will be careful, I know he will. You're forgetting, he's got a lot at stake here too. This family, your family, is his family. He's already saved this family a hundred times, Paige. Let him do it again." Piper spoke from within the safety of Leo's arms.

"How can you want him to do this, Piper? You know how dangerous it is!"

"I don't want him to do this! I don't like him risking his life. But I also know that he has to do it. It's in his destiny to manipulate time to save members of this family. I can't and I won't stand in the way of that. I wish you would do the same."

"Look, Paige, there just isn't any other way to make certain the girls are safe. We could send them 'Up There' with the Elders, but they'd still be at risk. This is the best way to ensure that the assassins can't find them." Leo's soft voice calmed the volatile tension.

Paige stared at her daughters. "I'll let the two of you decide. What do you think is best for you?" She finally decided to take the decision out of her hands.

Phyra answered slowly. "I think Chris is right, Mom. I don't wanna have some nasty greasy demon for a lover. Ugh! No offense." She tossed a quick look at Cole and Phoebe. "I mean, I want to fall in love for real, not because I'm under some demon's enchantment. And you guys would probably rush in and save us before he killed me, but still…he'd still get me to sleep with him, and that'd just be nasty." She exchanged glances with Peyton and Patience. "We want to go to the future."

Chris drew the triquetra in the attic, as he talked to his cousins. "Okay, so all of you need to be on your absolute best behavior, all right? No casting spells, or causing any magical havoc of any kind. Got it?"

"Yes, mommy." Patience replied sarcastically.

"I mean it. You guys can't make too much of an effort to find out about yourselves in the future. Future Consequences are very real, and cannot be taken lightly. You have to be careful."

"We will Chris. Don't worry. We'll be okay."

"All right. You guys ready?"

"Yeah."

"Yup."

"Let's just go already!" Phyra yelled excitedly.

Chris grinned. "Okay, let me go through first. I want to be the first out to make sure everything is as it should be."

They stepped through the glowing portal, and exited into the attic in another timeline. Chris stopped as he heard an oddly familiar voice. "The last time this happened, I was the one stepping out of that portal you know."
