Almost a day has passed since Chris crashed into the library and Piper still haven't left his side since. No one knew what happened to Chris and no one knew the whereabouts of Jessie either and the Charmed Ones are plagued with worry. Phoebe and Paige were constantly scrying for her location but with no progress to show for it.

Piper watched lovingly as Chris peacefully rested. She softly brushed a lock hair away from his face as she wondered what kind of life Chris could possibly have had when she was gone. What kind of world did Wyatt create where his little brother feared him.

Lost in her train of thought, Piper didn't notice the presense of Leo and Gideon standing behind her watching her moment with her son.

"Piper..." Leo whispered

"What? Oh hey.." Piper replied slightly surprised by the newcomers. "What's wrong?"

"We think that Jessie is with Wyatt and I convinced Gideon here to help us." Leo replied.

"Gideon?" Piper asked surprised

"Yes, with two elders there Leo and I might be able to sway whatever spell that maybe on Wyatt" Gideon replied. However, Gideon has his own motives. He wants to see with his very own eyes the creature he plans to stop for the greater good. No matter the cost.

"Alright." Piper agreed snapping Gideon out of his thoughts.

Moments later, Piper felt a stir from her son and her attention quickly went to him. Chris' eyes flickered open and his gazed automatically went to his mom.

"Hey sweetie." Piper sweetly said

"Where's Jes...ow" Chris exclaimed as he tried to get up but his head didn't catch up with him and he got lightheaded.

"Honey that's what we wanted to ask you." Piper replied.

"She's with Wyatt. We have to go save her." Chris argued

"That's not even an issue." Piper quickly replied. "We will go and you are staying here to rest." Piper added.

"But.." Chris started to argue

"No buts." Piper cut him off. "You are staying here and that's that." Piper finished as she got up and leaned down to kiss him on the forehead.

"We will be back in a little bit." Piper added.

She then turned and headed out the door with Leo and Gideon. Before exiting the room Leo gazed back and caught Chris' eyes. With a mutual nod both understood that Jessie was going to be saved no matter what.

Piper, Gideon, and Leo met both Paige and Phoebe out in the hall where they were waiting for their sister to join.

"How's Chris doing?" Paige asked highly concerned

"He's ok...he just woke up." Piper replied

"Don't we need his help?" Phoebe suggested

"No, he's in no condition to help us fight." Piper replied. "Let's get this going."

Everyone nodded in agreement and Phoebe held hands with Paige and Piper and they all disappeared in warm bluish orbs. Appearing moments later in their now hostile home. Piper studied the room and found Jessie bound to a chair in the corner.

"Paige free Jessie. Phoebe the Book." Piper ordered as she held her hands close ready to fire.

Paige quickly cross the room and Jessie surprisingly came to when she realized there were others in the room. Her eyes lit up with joy as she saw her rescuers.

"Rope!" Paige called as the ropes vanished in orbs and reappeared in her hands. With her other hand Paige helped Jessie to her feet.

"Are you ok" Paige asked concerned for her friend

"Yea my leg is just hurting a little bit." Jessie replied as she leaned on her uninjured leg.

"Leo we need some healing over here." Paige called pointing to the burnt wound on her thigh.

Leo went over to heal her wound as Phoebe joined Piper and Gideon. After he was done they joined the rest of the group in the middle of the attic.

"It's quiet." Piper realized.

Moments later, Leo was pulled from the group by an unseen force and was thrown across the room.

"Leo!" Piper screamed in fear

"Incoming!" Phoebe yelled as she got in her defensive stance.

Wyatt, Silas, and a few demons appeared out of no where. Gideon was at Leo's side in seconds after he was assaulted.

Quickly on the offensive, Piper flicked her hands and blasted two of Wyatt's minions into oblivion. Two others retailiated by throwing fireballs towards the group. Phoebe jumped and levitated out of harms way as Paige called and deflected the fireballs back only to miss her targets.

After the danger was gone Phoebe grounded herself. Scanning the room Phoebe's sight came across the potion cabinet. Running across the room, Phoebe reached the cabinet and pulled a few vials out and quickly threw them precisely hitting two of their intruders causing flames and pain to overtake their bodies.

Piper scanned the room and saw there were only two minions left to deal with. With another flick of her hands the two demons were dusts. Satisfied with the battle outcome so far, she quickly regrouped with the other girls as they faced off with her son and Silas. Finally locking eyes with her son, she saw almost no light of hope in his eyes. There was nothing but a black hole of darkness that she couldn't look into for too long. Tears began to form as they continued on.

Wyatt glanced over at the two elders and snickered in disbelief.

"You brought elders with you?" Wyatt asked as he raised his hands and created an energy bubble around the Charmed Ones and Jessie. With no where to turn to their only choice was to watch what Fate had in store for them.

Gideon stepped forward away from a still unconcious Leo with his hands raised as if to surrender.

"I mean you no harm." Gideon stated humbly.

"Elders are nothing but lies!" Wyatt replied.

Feeling the threat of impending danger Gideon quickly acted and sent bolts of electric energy towards Wyatt. Naturally Wyatt's energy barrier raised just in time to prevent any damage. He laughed at the pitiful attempt of the elder. He looked over to Silas and smirked and got a nod of acknowledgement from the demon.

"No...please don't" Gideon pleaded feeling something was not right.

Before Gideon could even react both Wyatt and Silas shot bolts of energy at the helpless elder as blue electric energy coursed through his body causing unimaginable pain. The witches could only watch helplessly as Gideon screamed in agony. Moments that seemed like forever passed and Gideon exploded into clusters of blue orbs.

"Gideon..." Phoebe gasped out as she realized he was gone.

The Charmed Ones watched in terror as they just witnessed the slaying of an elder. Piper gazed up and locked eyes with her son once again. His steel cold stare sent chills throughout her body. Seconds later the energy bubble that surrounded them dissipated and vanished. Cautiously, the girls crossed the room where Leo layed unconcious.

"Paige." Piper called.

And without another word Paige orbed all of them out of the manor.

"Once again you let them leave my Lord?" Silas asked bewildered.

"As I said before...there is a time for everything. They just witnessed the extent of my powers. Now, they truly fear me..."
