The sky outside turned to an arrangement of red and orange as the sun began
to set as hours pass by at the manor. Jessie was fast asleep on the couch
while Chris had his head in the book. He looks up and sees that she was
asleep when they were supposed to be doing research. He smiles to himself
as he watches her peacefully sleep. His attention goes to the door when he
sees Phoebe walking in.
"Hey Chris..." Phoebe began but was cut by Chris
"Shh." Chris said as silent as possible as he pointed to a sleeping Jessie.
"Oh." Phoebe replied once she saw her. "We need to talk downstairs." She mouthed and pointed down as she turned and silently walked out. Chris looked at Jessie once more before heading downstairs.
In the living room the Piper and Paige were sitting comfortably on one couch. They looked up seeing Phoebe coming in with Chris not far behind her.
"Where's Jessie?" Piper asked noticing one person was missing.
"She's sleeping." Chris replied
"Poor thing, this whole mess wiped her out." Paige added.
"Chris, any luck with the Book yet?" Piper asked with hope.
"Not yet." Chris replied taking a seat across from Piper. "Where's Leo?" Chris asked looking around the room, relieved that he wasn't there.
"He went back 'Up There' to get more information on the demon we're after." Phoebe replied sitting next to Chris. As she took her seat her arm brushed up against his when suddenly her eyes snapped shut and her sight went dark. Images flashed but nothing clear. It wasn't her usual premonition where a clip of an event was shown. This one was different. She saw glimpses of demons in the manor, light illuminating in the attic, Chris crying, and the last flash was Chris in pain. As the flashes ended Phoebe snapped open her eyes as she tried to gather her breaths. She stared at her sisters for a few moments then turned to Chris.
"Phoebe?" Paige asked as she saw Phoebe apparently have one of her premonitions.
"What'd you see?" Chris asked
"Oh boy..." Phoebe finally spoke. "Lots.... Chris, you're in for one hell of a future." Phoebe stated looking worn out.
"What are you talking about?" Chris asked worried.
Before he could get an answer a couple of demons shimmered into the hall.
"Guys...." Paige said as she stood from her seat causing everyone's gaze to follow Paige's as they saw the demons about to attack.
"Here we go again." Piper stated as she flicked her hands causing one of the demons to burst into flames. Instantly after the flames of the vanquish disappeared, an energy ball was thrown towards her. She quickly froze the blue orb merely inches away from her. "Ahh oh oh oh that was close." Piper screamed moving away from the ball in case it decided to unfreeze.
Two more energy balls came towards the group, this time Chris and Paige shielded them. "Energy ball!" Paige cried as she deflected one of the orbs as Chris held out his hand and telekinetically redirected the other, both vanquishing more of their intruders. As Piper finished off the last of the demons, two more had shimmered in behind them.
"Piper!" Phoebe yelled as she pointed in the demons direction.
"Oh!" Piper screamed in surprise. She noticed the energy ball that was still frozen was directly in their path. She flicked one of her hand towards the blue orb to unfreeze it, sending it towards the two evils. It hit them and in a burst of flames they were gone and all that was left were scorch marks.
"Oh yeah that was cool!" Piper exclaimed, proud of what she just did. "Did you see that?!" Piper said with a wide grin.
"Jessie?!" Chris stated as he orbed up to the attic.
Once he got to the attic, he quickly scanned the room. Sighing a breath of relief, as he realized no one else was up here. He looked over to where Jessie was sleeping peacefully. A small smile growing on his face.
Back downstairs, Phoebe paced the hall in front of the stairs as her sisters watched her from their seats on the staircase.
"Um Phoebe?" Paige called, "Why are you pacing?" she continued.
"My premonition I had before those demons had attacked. I saw them before they came..." Phoebe started
"Um Phoebe, premonitions? You see the future, you saw them coming before they came. Why are you confused about that?" Piper joked getting a look from her middle sister.
"Because, if my premonitions are right, it's only the beginning. The next thing I saw was um...light." Phoebe said trying to recall where the lights were coming from in her vision.
"Lights?" Paige asked turning to Piper confused, all Piper could do was shrug her shoulders.
"Lights! Lights coming from the attic!" Phoebe exclaimed causing the Charmed Ones to look up towards the attic. Each sister looked at one another and without speaking quickly got to their feet and scrambled up to the attic.
Up in the attic, Jessie slowly opened her eyes to see Chris staring at her. Her eyes quickly opened and she struggled to a sitting position.
"Oh...how long was I out?" Jessie asked stretching her arms.
"Hmm...two maybe three hours." Chris replied with a big smile. Loud footsteps could be heard scrambling up the stairs. Both of them turned towards the door expecting demons to burst through only to find the sisters crashing through the door.
"Attic...lights...." Phoebe stated out of breath to no one in particular.
"Huh?" Chris said.
Suddenly the room seems to fill up with a bluish light. Across the room on the far wall was the core of this light. The group couldn't even look in that direction the light was so bright.
"Phoebe, did you do that?" Chris asked worried
"No..." Phoebe replied frowning.
As the light brightened even more, a figure emerged surprising everyone in the room. Jessie looked around and saw everyone's shocked expression to this person. She was even more interested in Chris's expression, he was in total shock, wide open mouth with unshed tears. His feelings were mind- blowing... hidden pain, loss, longing, disbelieving, fear, and then love. She turned her attention back to the stranger but soon her attention went to the two figures that emerged from behind the young woman.
"Chris! Help!" the stranger cried as she glances over her shoulders. Piper blew up the two demons behind her as the light disappeared. But Piper held her hands out ready to blow the girl who was now standing in front of Chris. The other two sisters just watched on, as Chris was speechless.
The two gazed as each other as a single tear was shed by Chris. The girl wiped away the tear with her hand and then left it there, staring into his eyes.
"Chris..." the girl started.
Chris finally found his voice...."Bianca....you're alive"
