I''m glad you're liking the plot!!!, and I don't know why they didn't try the truth spell on Chris... probably for the same reason that Wyatt didn't wrote down the time travel spell (or is phisically unable to remember it).

In the last chapter…

"I will get him... do you hear me?" unable still to get up, the whitelighter crawled to her. "No matter what I have to do, no matter where I have to go or who I have to face... I will get him and then he'll pay in a very slowly and painful way."

Suddenly Piper snapped her head up, looking at him in the eye. He was saying he truth, it wasn't just the wish to kill but the wish to harm and destroy. To harm Wyatt. Her son. With the last force she could manage, the witch gestured to Chris blowing him away and into unconsciousness. Freeing herself from his grip before everything went black and she died.

And now...


In the floor, next to the dying charmed, Chris vanished silently, leaving one single conscious person in the attic. She finally managed to get up, her face was dirty with blood, although she didn't noticed and simply walked hastily towards Piper, checking her sister's neck for a non-existent pulse. While a part of herself panicked, kneeling down and starting a desperate CPR; a deeper one, a part that was watching and plotting somewhere near her conscious mind, kept it cool. The witch should not die, she was necessary.

Suddenly realising the stupidity of her own actions, Paige quit the reanimation of her sister and went to Leo, shaking him wildly until he opened the eyes.

"Paige? W...? Where's Chris? What happened? " The elder blinked, trying to focus and took another look at her." Oh, damn! you're bleeding!! " He screamed leaning over her, but the witch shook him off.

"Don't worry for that, Piper's heart stopped!!"

Leo went wax white and rushed past Paige and next to Piper. Soon there were glows and blue lights that lasted forever until finally the elder backed away and Piper awoke, gasping for air. Before she could even take a second breath Leo was embracing her tightly. The hug, however, lasted little for the elder backed away again.

"Sorry, I just... you weren't, and I... I thought... " but he didn't ended the sentence for right to that moment Chris reappeared in the attic, still unconscious. The elder got up, missing again Piper's gesture towards him.

"That was... can you help me finding the correct word? " asked Phoebe who had just been awaken by Paige.

But no one answered her. Piper was deep inside her own thoughts, which were still hers thanks to the potions Chris gave them; Leo's was in the far away Old Love's realm; And Paige's attention was fully focused on Chris, the sense of hatred and curiosity that emanated from her were pretty palpable. Which was, indeed, weird, wasn't it? After all, she wasn't sensing anything from Piper... on the other hand she had sensed something from her older sister that same morning, so maybe the effect was just wearing off. Yeah... that must be it... sure... except that, deep down of her, somewhere, there was this stubborn little Phoebe getting suspicious. Chris stirring again, however, shut little suspicious Phoebe up and forced her to move. Before the young man could awake, she displaced the white rocks in it's place.

"Where did he come from?" asked Paige, approaching Chris. "I mean, that wasn't an orbing thingy..."

"Nope... it was no whitelighter type thingy..." pointed Leo.

"Maybe he just made himself disappear... and then lost consciousness and reappeared again..." suggested Phoebe.

"No , that would be an elder thingy" answered Leo.

Paige shrugged "Well, maybe he is an elder after all..."

"He is not an elder!!" Leo turned to her, outraged.

"We can't be sure" said the younger charmed. "We didn't know that he was a witch, did we?"

"But that's not the same" responded Leo.

"You don't have to be this edgy about Chris joining your 'oh so cool' elite group." said Phoebe, smirking.

"I'm not edgy! It's just that he is not a part of my elite... " The elder frowned. " We're not an elite group!!! Anyway, he can't be because I'd sense that..."

"Just like you sensed him being half witch?" asked Paige, matter-of-factly.

Leo glared at the sisters and turned to Chris without answering.

Phoebe raised an eyebrow. "He is edgy." Stated the witch turning to her older sister that had been silent the whole time. "Are you okay, honey? This one was close."

Piper looked at her. "And the difference with the other ones would be..."

"Yeah, you got a point there. But then what's worrying you?"

The older Halliwell faced her sister with a frown.

"I thought you couldn't sense us anymore"

"And I don't... well... I think that I can't."

"You think?"

"Well, the potions seems to be wearing off, but I didn't sensed anything in you... just kind of... knew it in a sister way..."

"Sister way?"

"You're frowning so much that your eyebrows look like a single V in the middle of your face."

"Oh... sister way." Piper half smiled and finally relented. "Well, apart from the fact that my toddler son has been missing for the last twelve hours and we have his kidnapper with us, so he's probably alone..."

Phoebe nodded. "Yeah... apart from that...".

"I was just wondering about Chris... You know, although I was worried sick for taking my son away, a part of me kept telling me that he was not going to harm Wyatt."

"And you're not sure anymore?"

"No, I'm not... you didn't see him before, Phoebe... when he was killing me he just said that he was going to kill Wyatt too. And he meant it, I could just feel how much he hated him even without any kind of empath powers. As you said... the hatred was written all over him."

Phoebe sat down, next to her, knowing what she wanted to say but wondering if doing so would be a good idea.

"You know..." she started, then stopped, bit her lips and started again. "You know, what he says about Wyatt turning evil... I know that's horrible, but when he says it...when you look at him saying it... it, it feels true. " She averted he eyes form her sister " It feels strong and powerful. When Chris says it, it's not a lie or a comment... it's not something he's blurting off... it's an statement, something on which he had to build a life, his life... Something stronger than fate. I don't know, maybe I'm talking rubbish, it's just that I saw the fire in his eyes when he told us about Wyatt, and I've seen the same fire every time he talks about the future, even if it's just telling us that he can't say nothing about it."

"You're trying to say that you believe that my son is going to be an evil bastard?" Resumed Wyatt's mother, getting to the point.

"I think that he believes so." answered Phoebe.

Piper nodded. "Yeah... me too. And it's silly, because I just wanted to cast the truth spell to hear him say that it was a lie. I knew I actually believed him, and I just wanted to prove me wrong. I wanted it to be a lie, a scheme... false."

"I think that we all started this spell madness for the same reasons, honey... no matter what we actually thought about it, no one wanted to believe Chris's story."

"But it's true and now I'm just so afraid... if Chris, this Chris, is this mad at him..."

"I know, I know..." Phoebe nodded, hugging her again. "But you don't have to worry about that. He's here now and trapped, and we will find my nephew and he won't led a finger on him... I swear."

Piper shook her head, slowly backing away from her sisters consoling arms.

"No, you don't understand" she said, looking at her eyes again. "You've met the earlier Chris, the younger one. He was quite a normal kid..." she stated, and with an afterthought added " ...for Chris neurotic standards, I mean."

Phoebe nodded.

"But this Chris was plain crazy with hate..." Piper continued "And I'm not talking about our Chris neurosis, but about a full psychotic mental disease's worth of getting closed in a quilted cell with no access to any kind of sharpened pencil." The witch got up, helping her sister to do so. "What worries me is what kind of bastard can make that. What worries me is how evil Wyatt is going to be".

Piper shot up for she was trembling now, suppressing tears. Phoebe, out of words, gave her a sympathetic look and embraced her, even if Piper fought weakly to stop her doing so.

"That won't happen, he's not going to turn evil. We'll save him."

"I wish I could be so sure... but the truth is that we can't even protect him in his own bedroom."

So much for the almighty columnist... though the middle charmed at loss of words.

"Sorry to interrupt" Paige appeared out of no where. "But I think that we should awake Sleeping Beauty here and start with the interrogation thingy."

Both sisters crossed sights and nodded, whatever happened to Wyatt in Chris's time, they'd have to find him first and face that later.

"I don't think that will work." Leo pointed ou.t "I doubt he even knows where Wyatt is. From his point of view, Wyatt is and adult, and I don't think he'd exactly kidnap him given the chance."

"There's lots of sense in that." agreed Phoebe.

"That and the fact that he'll be too busy trying to get to our throats to even listen the questions" added the elder.

"So what do you suggest?" asked Piper finally.

"We could... I mean... you could reverse the spell you casted on Chris and try a new approach." He said, looking at the wall, unable to turn to Piper. He hated so much every time he had to heal her because that meant that he hadn't been able to protect her.

"You mean a new approach like nailing his head in the floor?" asked Phoebe, raising an eyebrow.

"I mean like questioning him what's all this about".

"Yeah... questions... that's good. And will he be just there listening, or are you going to hit him into every wall and furniture in the attic meanwhile?"

Leo surrendered, Phoebe was right.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I was distressed and angry. This time I won't hurt him before starting with the questions..." and at Phoebe distrustful look he added " Nor shall I hurt him after, that is if he have a good behaviour and answers them. Happy now?"

Phoebe nodded and turned to Paige who's animosity was all over the place too. "Are we all ok with that Paige?"

"Yes we are Phoebe. Only threatening, no punching." Answered the witch with a scorn. But she wasn't. She was really pissed at Chris, and deep down in her there was something that was pissed at him too. Something that was really pissed and starting to realize that if Chris was the only one who knew where the damn kid was, she could kill two birds with a simple shot. But this had to be subtle, no one should knew what she was doing.

Piper snapped her fingers in Paige face, getting her sister back from wherever she was.

"Earth to Paige... Phoebe was able to come up with a quick one." she said "Let's try it and hope that it doesn't turns him into a turkey."

"Or at least that the turkey will be able to speak English." Added Phoebe showing them the piece of paper.

Let the magic that was done,

Dissappear, farewell, be gone.

The moment the charmed ones finalized the cast, magic spread around them in a blur of tiny lights and focused on Chris, surrounding him, swirling around his body that jerked, awoke and gasped in the middle of a small twister of glows that kept spinning around him faster and faster, emitting a sound that grew louder and louder until forming a brightening barrier around the teenager.

"Uh... Why is every spell working so weird today?" shouted Piper over the gabble to Paige who didn't answer but stared at her. "What are you looking at?" Piper asked after a few seconds.
Paige smiled at her sister question, shrugging.

"You can protect yourself pretty well, can't you?"

"What?" Unable to understand what was her sister talking about she just turned to Leo and Phoebe who weren't paying attention.

"You powers are the most active ones in the Charmed ones..." Paige stated at the confused Piper. "The best in attack and a good protection."

"Paige... can you focus on our little problem here?" the witch pointed at the lights around the half whitelighter from the future.

"I'm focusing on the problem."

"Yeah? What does this powers babbling have to do with Chris glowing crucible?"

"Nothing... nothing at all" The witch's smile grew. "but I'm planing on do something and... well, let's say that I'll need a better protection than simply orbing stuff..."

The orb that was imprisoning Chris started to slow, it's spinning and the brightness becoming less and less sharp until it was simply a weak glow around the visitant of the future and finally, nothing.

From slightly afar, where he had been standing trying to give space to the sisters, Leo blinked twice, half bewildered half plainly stunned. Hastily, both emotions melted into disappointment. Although it was a stunned disappointment.

The elder turned to his previous wife and was shocked when he saw that neither she nor Paige had been heeding to what had happened. Instead of that, they were looking at each other slightly unfocused. Leo motioned to them in an attempt to claim their attention.

"Girls... I think that this didn't work..." he shot a quick look at Chris. "In fact I'm sure it didn't work." He heeled while, next to him, Phoebe simply knelt down.

"Oh my god..." the empath exclaimed." He's so cute!!!!!"

"Do you mind?" was Chris answer. "I'm a kid, not a puppet!!"

Phoebe's smile wavered with the comment but stood there. Definitely, Chris witty and smart ass behaviour was something that the young man had mastered from infancy. She was going to ask about the kid's age, that was probably between 6 or 7, when a very clear feeling caught her. One of triumph and gloat. One of...

"Demon!!!!" shouted kid Chris with panic in the same moment that Phoebe was turning to face Piper with a stunned gaze. A ball of black fire flew above her head, forcing the witch to whirl around and face a human like demon. Human like except for the long tentacles in the back of the head and the long sharp fingers. Well, let's say more or less human like.

It looked around, stunned, like confused about his own whereabouts for half a second. But the moment it set it's eyes on them it's expression changed into a sadistic grimace.

"You... you're my enemy..." he said, pointing one long finger at them. "You must die and then my order will be fulfilled and I'll be able to go back to the Deep."

Leo ignored the megalomaniac babbling of the demon and focused on the sisters, wondering which one had pissed it off. Finally Paige took a step forward.

"C'mon!! Give me a break!" she exclaimed "The part time jobs are my raison d'etre, they are important to me. And if you demon would stop hurting innocent people, I wouldn't have to keep getting rid of your family every time..."

"What are you talking about?!?" it asked, momentarily disoriented.

"Who was it? Your sister? Your cousin? Your mother in law? Who did I vanquished?"

"No you idiot!! I don't give a damn about your part time job! I'm talking about the kid!!"

All the presents turned to Chris who's face was suddenly wax white.

"Me?" he asked, trying to retreat, but the wall was a very solid impediment for a 'run now ask later' tactic.

"Yeah! You filthy piece of scum, you bag of shit, you..."

"Ei! Mind your mouth!" protested Paige, grabbing a potion and throwing it. "He's a kid!"

The demon ducked the potion and took a one single jump that went across the attic and landed just next to Chris who, out of fear, shut his eyes and orbed merely a few feet away. The creature moved forward him, but a fast kick from Phoebe threw it to the floor.

"Chair!!" yelled Paige, trying to give Piper time to vanquish the demon. But her sister wasn't moving and the creature simply ducked hastily, evading the projectile that rushed past it and collided with Phoebe, knocking her unconscious. An elder lightning crossed the room, directed to the demon who ducked and threw himself to kid Chris who, too scared to orb or even to scream retreated into a ball in a pretty childish intent of defence. In fact the demon would had got him right there if a second lightning hadn't struck it in the back, throwing it over the kid and into a nearly wall. Seeing how the kid was now too scared even to move, Paige grabbed him and orbed away, far from the house. Weird enough, as soon as she and the kid reached the P3, they orbed back to the attic, next to Piper.

"What the...?" started to say Paige, but stopped when Chris detangled himself from her arms and ran towards Piper.

"Mum!!" the kid cried, grabbing the oldest charmed by the hip.

Paige mind remained oblivious of the kid's words for some seconds and saw Piper looking down and arching her eyebrows in surprise when he touched her, and heard Phoebe's scream across the attic.

"Chris, stay away from her!!!"

But Chris didn't heard her, or made no notice of it for he simply sank his head in Piper's clothes, trembling while the woman turned to the demon that was rushing to her and gestured, throbbing it's arm, forcing him to relent, to stop the attack.

Still smiling the woman grabbed the kid by the shoulders and threw him forward, to the slightly wounded demon.

"You're here for him... kill the kid and get the hell out of here."

"No!" Chris tried to retreat, but Piper pushed him again to the demon that grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Piper what are you...!?" yelled Leo, moving towards them. But he couldn't take even a second step before Piper blowed him up.

"Leo!" screamed Phoebe, getting to her feet with some difficulties.

"Dad!!" exclaimed Chris, fighting to free himself without any sucess.

"He said... 'mum'?" wondered Paige, obviously lost in her own world and not really aware of what was happening around her. "He said..." the witch came back to reality with a sudden realization, but just to see how Chris struggled under the demon's grasp, turning hopelessly to Piper.

"Mum...please, I can't... I'm scared I can't... I can't orb... mum please!" he pleaded trying to reach the witch leg, to reach her. But Piper simply took a step back.

"What are you waiting for?" Asked the sister to the creature that had been looking at her, frowning.

As an answer, it turned to the kid and his eyes regained the bloodlust sight.

"No! Please, no no no no!!" the kid cried trying to get away, watching in full terror how the demon raised a hand with blade like fingers.

Out of reflection, Paige jumped from the place where she was standing, knowing even before setting herself in motion, that she was not going to get there in time.

In the other side of the room, with the same feeling, Phoebe pushed herself forward, ignoring the piercing pain in her head and screamed in frustration her older sister name, trying to get her into reality. But nothing happened as the demon lowered it's hand and Chris yelled a last and desperate cry.

"Wyatt!!"

A blur of glows surrounded momentarily Chris while the Twice Blessed orbed into his arms, the shield appearing around them, throwing the demon across the attic.
