Hey thanx people for reviewing me and waiting. I had to redo my computer coz it died then try and get all my other info off my hard drives coz they weren't talking to my dads other computers. So here it is…

Chapter 7 – Disappearing

"Umm…hi, I'm…"

"Chris, hi I'm Kirra." I interrupted.

"Oh, so you're Kirra. Wyatt mentioned something about you but I wasn't listening." Wyatt gave Chris an evil look across the table.

"Your dinner is in the oven." Piper said to ease the tension. He went into the kitchen and retrieved it. There was only one seat left and that was next to me.

"What are you doing here?" Chris asked between mouthfuls of food.

"Don't know yet." I answered; the tension was increasing "What's been happening while I was away?"

"Well, like you said," Piper answered, "Gideon tried to kill Wyatt."

Chris rolled his eyes; I don't think anyone noticed but me. He whispered to me, "This is so boring."

"Oh really and why is that?" I whispered while Piper had paused.

"'Cause I've heard this all before." He motioned a talking hand. "Blah blah."

All I could do was laugh. I gave him a sidewards glance; he sounded like a rebel. Completely different from the future Chris, who was all serious. Piper was talking again.

"…Other than that, the usual: killing demons." It was said in a very matter-of-fact way. There was silence at the table again. Everyone was eating. You know how you sit there and tap your fingers wondering what to say? Well, it was a moment like that. It went like that for the rest of the meal. Everyone put the plates in the sink and retreated to the lounge room.

"Well, I'd love to stay but I have places to go, people to see," Paige said. "See you guys later." And she grabbed her coat and walked out the door. The telephone rang. Piper got up to answer it.

"Hello…uh-huh…yep, alright, be there soon." She hung up "There's some commotion at the club because one of the girls didn't show up for work, so I'll see you later." She kissed Leo and walked out the door. "'Bye everyone." And she closed the door behind her. Wyatt made an excuse that he had some reading to do. Slowly, people made excuses to leave. Finally it was just Leo, Chris and myself. Leo looked distracted for a moment then looked at Chris.

"I have to go and check on a charge…Kirra is sleeping in your room so you'll have to share with Wyatt." Before Chris could object Leo was gone.

"I hate sharing with my brother…" He rolled his eyes then looked at me. "Is your world anything like this?"

"Yes, very similar, but the only thing is we don't have demons." I started thinking about home again. I sighed. I continued to tell him about the sort of stuff that I did in my world. Not that it was much different but he was nice to talk to when he wasn't been sarcastic. It was still early when we finished so we talked for ages. Wyatt came down stairs to lock up and told Chris that dad wants them in bed before Paige gets home.

Normal rules apparently. Chris pulled a face at his older brother behind his back. He ignored it, said goodnight and went upstairs. I grabbed a drink from the kitchen and we started talking again.

We heard Paige come home because she came in the front door. He looked at his watch then orbed me upstairs to his room. The clock said 11:00 but with the house being locked up and they were supposed to be in bed. He orbed out and I hopped into bed. Paige opened the door then closed in again. I got up to look through his CD collection then started at some of the things on his desk. Not much they're some books, paper and mags. Then I saw the corner of a black book. I picked it up and got a series of images relating to Chris and me. I realised that this is the book he writes some of his own spells in it. I grabbed a pencil that was clipped to the book and wrote him a letter.

Soon after that I heard a knock at the door. Quickly I put the pen down, closed the book and opened the door.

It was Chris. He put a finger to his lips and grabbed my hand and he orbed us to the Golden Gate Bridge.

"Wow." I was breathless. The view was stunning and this was my favourite bridge. We were still holding hands.

"We should be getting back." I said dreamily.

"Yeah, I know, but it's nice out here," he said. "I come out here to think."

"Do they always know where to find you?"

"Not always." We laughed. "Alright, let's go." When we orbed back to the manor is when we heard the noises in the attic.

We walked towards the attic. The door was ajar and we heard movement, like someone was moving stuff looking for something. Chris looked in to the room through the crack.

"Who is it?" I whispered.

"There's three hooded men in dark capes." Sudden images flashed into my head. It was the men from before; they were back. I started walking backwards away from the door.

"We have to go." I pulled on his sleeve. When he didn't move I pulled harder. I felt like I was about to go into hysterics. I grabbed his arm and started dragging him towards the stairs. He must have been hypnotised, because he shook his head like he just woke up. He stopped me in the hallway.

"Who are they?" he demanded in whispers. By then I had regained my emotion.

"I don't have time now to explain we have to wake your aunt up now. I'll go and…"

We know that you're back. Come to us and join us. It was like an invisible string was pulling me towards them.

"Kirra! What is it?" he stood in front of me.

"They want me. Please don't let them take me!" He grabbed me and was dragging me to Phoebe's room. He opened the door; she was reading on her bed. And the Book of Shadows was there too.

"Chris! What's wrong?" She looked from me to him and back.

"There are three men in the attic in hooded cloaks." He looked at me; I was white as a ghost.

"It's them," I whispered. "They're back for me." I looked straight at Phoebe. "We have to go and get the others."

Wyatt! Come to Phoebe's room! Don't ask! Wyatt came through the door.

"Orb us to the club," Phoebe said to Chris and Wyatt. Chris held out his hand me and I took it then Phoebe went with Wyatt. We orbed into the back room of the club.

"You guys stay here while I get Piper." Phoebe said, before she walked through the doorway. I had a feeling that something was wrong and so did Wyatt.

"Don't you guys think this is a little weird?" Wyatt asked "They didn't even attack us or stop us from leaving the house."

"Yeah." I agreed. I went to the door and opened it a little bit to see where Piper and Phoebe were. I saw one of them, the men in the hooded cloaks, walking through the crowd. "They're here too! Though I can only see one." I looked around at them.

"We have to warn Piper and Phoebe." Before anyone could object I ran out of the room towards them. As I was nearing them, someone grabbed my arm. I spun around to see one of the cloaked figures there. He shimmered out taking me with him. I saw Chris' face as I was shimmering. A look of total despair crossed his face.

End of chapter 7
