The whole chris being there thing is very confusing but will be explained in the very next chapter (ch3) so just bear with it for now. and the story starts off like a few weeks from where they left off in the finale, not in season 6. Hope I cleared somethings up and as i said you'll just have to wait a bit longer for the whole Chris explanation.

well here's the chapter!

Paige and PJ had just made it into Phoebe's old room when Paige asked the question that had to be on everyone's mind.

"So how long are you going to stay?"

PJ hauled her suitcase onto the bed and shrugged her shoulders as she turned to face her great aunt.

"I don't know, probably just as long as it takes to vanquish the demon."

Paige and PJ both jumped when out of nowhere Phoebe and Coop materialized in front of them.

"Phoebe, Coop, what are you two doing here?" Paige asked surprised.

"Piper called and filled us in so we came right over." Coop answered.

Phoebe turned to PJ.

"So this must be the time traveling granddaughter Piper told us about."

"I'm PJ." She said extending her hand to her other great aunt.

"Well it certainly is nice to meet you, and I'm going to assume you already know who we are."

PJ smiled. "Yup. No introductions necessary."

Coop quietly excused himself, and the three ladies were just beginning to unpack when a demon shimmered in behind Paige.

"Aunt Paige!" PJ screamed as she threw her hands up, this time freezing the entire demon.

Paige ran over to PJ and Phoebe. Phoebe told Paige to orb down and get the others.

Paige protested. "I can't just leave you two alone with him."

PJ pushed Paige out of the room.

"I got it. Now go get the others before my freeze wears off. I don't know how long it will last."

------------

Paige orbed down to the first floor. By now the others were in the living room with Piper looking through the Book of Shadows. Paige rematerialized in the living room.

"Hurry! Demon upstairs with PJ and Phoebe!"

"You left them alone with a demon! What on Earth were you thinking?" Piper yelled, standing up.

Paige quickly explained.

"PJ froze him and Phoebe told me to get you. Now hurry before her time freeze wears off."

---------------

Everyone raced up the stairs right behind Paige. The group rushed into the room expecting a fight. Instead they found PJ and Phoebe sitting on the end of the bed and the demon frozen in the corner of the room.

Paige was puzzled. "What's going on?"

"I just froze him again. He'll be frozen for at least a couple of minutes."

Piper was even more confused than her sister. "But I thought your powers were unpredictable."

"My powers are unpredictable, by themselves. Phoebe came up with a strengthening spell to make my freezes last longer."

Piper glanced at Phoebe who nodded. "Oh."

PJ stood up and attempted to get everyone back on track.

"So did you come up with anything for Mr. Demon here?"

Leo shook his head. "Not yet."

PJ turned to Chris.

"What did the elders say?"

"Nothing about him, but they did say that you should not be here."

PJ crossed her arms defiantly. "Well I am, so too bad."

Paige cut in. "So what are we going to do with him?"

"I don't know, but we better think of something fast before he unfreezes again." PJ reasoned with a shrug.

Just then another demon smoked in behind the group.

PJ screamed. "Behind you!"

The new demon shot at them with an impressive fireball, but Phoebe levitated to miss the blast and high kicked the demon.

While the others' attention was focused on the second demon, the first one unfroze and grabbed PJ from behind.

The young witch struggled to get free.

"Piper help!"

Piper raised her hands to use her powers.

The first demon wagged his finger at her.

"Ah, ah, ah. No you don't. We wouldn't want anything to happen to your powerful little granddaughter now would we?" He chided producing an athame.

"Damn you!" growled Piper slowly lowering her hands.

The second demon smoked over, just behind the first one. The first one shoved PJ to demon number two.

"Take her back while I take care of these witches."

Phoebe shot a look of panic at PJ.

PJ mouthed 'Don't worry' to Phoebe and as the demon smoked out PJ was left standing where she was.

The first demon was so focused on the rest of the Halliwells that he didn't even notice that the girl was still standing behind him.

"Now I will take care of you for good."

"Ahem."

He turned around, shocked to see the little witch.

"What? . . . But how did you?"

This time the demon was the one scolded.

"You seem to have forgotten about something." PJ said as she pulled a pendant of the triquetra symbol from beneath her shirt. "You can't shimmer, smoke, orb, or blink me anywhere I don't want to go."

The demon was furious. "Curse you witch!"

PJ put her hands on her hips. "Now that's not very nice."

The demon let out a terrifying growl and hurled an energy ball at PJ. She deflected it with relative ease and ran over to the others.

Phoebe stood protectively in front of her niece. "Nice charm."

PJ tucked the silver piece of jewelry back under her shirt. "It comes in handy."

She then turned toward demon. "Now that you have five witches to deal with you are as good as vanquished. What do you have to say about that?"

Piper stepped back just a bit. "Um PJ honey . . . I don't think it is a good idea to tease the demon."

"He was just leaving anyway."

Paige glanced questioningly at PJ. "What do you mean leaving?"

The demon had had enough of being demeaned by this brat but knew that she was right. There was no way he was going to go up against all of them alone.

"This is not over. I will be back and the Charmed Ones will be beaten. Especially you little witch." He then shimmered out.

Phoebe relaxed once he was gone. "I don't think he likes you very much. How did you know he was going to leave?"

"He knew he couldn't beat all of us by himself, but stay on guard he'll be back."

As if on cue the second demon smoked back in.

"Nyx, I lost the girl. I got there and she . . ."

He looked around and realized that his boss was not there.

"Oh . . . you're here . . . well Peej it's been fun but I gotta go . . . bye."

The young looking demon smoked back out with a small smile.

Paige sat down on the bed. "What was that about?"

Piper turned to her granddaughter with a stern face.

"Why didn't he at least attempt to fight? And how did he know your name? And was he smiling?"

"Oh. Well that was Luke." PJ said, biting her lip slightly.

Phoebe raised an eyebrow. "Luke?"

PJ nodded. "His name is Lucius and he is the Demon of the Doors."

Chris scoffed. "Demon of the Doors? Give me a break. I've never heard of him."

PJ narrowed her eyes at him.

"In the future he guards dimensional portals and the doors of time. He is a demon but he helps both sides by making sure nothing happens to the doors and to make sure time travel is not abused by either side. The only reason he's helping Nyx is because when it comes right down to good -vs- evil, witch -vs- demon he has to help the demon."

"Or be killed for treason." Leo finished, jumping on her train of thought.

"Exactly."

Piper shook her head. "But that still doesn't answer my question. Why didn't he attack us?"

"And why was he almost apologizing?" Paige added

"Um…He and I are… friends." PJ knew the reaction that was coming.

Piper practically exploded. "Friends! How are you friends?"

"Well I saved him from a warlock and we just kind of hit it off."

"So just a second ago he tried to kill you and you're ok with that?" Piper ranted

"If he was really trying to kill me he would've taken the charm from me. He knew I would stay right where I was because he helped me make it."

Chris was just as shocked as his mother. "How did he help you make it?"

PJ sat down on the bed. "I needed some demon blood for it to work so he cut himself so I could get it. Now that I think about it, he was the one who told me to make the charm in the first place."

Paige smiled. "Sounds to me like Luke has a little crush on you."

Piper turned on her sister. "Paige, that isn't funny. It just makes it complicated. We have to be very careful when we fight now."

Phoebe agreed. "You're right we have to be careful so we don't hurt him or even worse vanquish him."

"We don't have to worry about hurting him because after he was almost killed by the warlock I saved him from, the counsels decided to make him immune to injury. If he were to be killed the doorways would go out of control and destroy everything. Both sides, and the entire world, would cease to exist.

Piper was even more agitated. "Let me get this straight . . . he can hurt us but we can't hurt him?"

PJ nodded slowly. "That's basically it, but he won't do anything bad… At least, I don't think he would."

-------------

Nyx was absolutely furious. "Why didn't you remove the charm?"

Lucius ducked his head down. "I forgot she had it."

Nyx began pacing around the room yelling. "If it wasn't for that charm, the charmed ones would be gone and that infuriating little witch would be dead to!"

"I know. I am sorry we failed."

"It will not happen again. After we succeed there will no longer be any trace of the charmed ones."

"So what's the plan?" asked Lucius.

Nyx smirked. "We have to get the young witch. Taking her out of the picture gives us the upper hand."

"And how are we going to do that."

"I'll tell you how."
