Halliwell Mansion

"How many more times do I have to tell you?" Chris asked nearly shouting at Emily. The brunette stuck out her tongue – even doing that in a stuck up manner. "I do not want to learn about genies. Especially seeing as McCormick didn't tell us too." He couldn't believe Emily was so goodie two shoes at school, she seemed somewhat differently smart outside of school.

"Oh but come on. After all the killings it has to be a good thing so we can protect the ones in the city." What genies in the city? Were there genies in their city – well if there were then he had most definitely not seen or met them. Chris sighed as he nodded when Emily begged for them to use the book of shadows. "I won't let Piper see me, I promise!" She spoke as she ran up the stairs. Not like she could any way with her phasing powers.

Billy sat up on the couch; again he was being very annoying by being somewhat dim. He looked around and asked where Emily disappeared to – as he wasn't paying attention. Rolling his eyes Chris leant against the wall as he looked to the kitchen where his mother was attempting to put his dirty clothes into the washing machine. Piper was really having trouble with understanding how Chris's clothes were so dirty and smelly – especially his trousers, it was almost as if he was rolling around in dirt all day.

His eyes looked down to his trainers as he counted to three. Straight on three he was right to find Emily bang down the stairs heavily before she put the book of shadows down on the table carefully. Chris walked over to the book and moved it to the page for genies. For some reason he knew exactly what page number it was. It was almost as if he had researched them before. Emily moved her finger against the text to see if she could find out some hidden secrets about genies. For example if there were any signs of their power being drained and used by demons. But as Chris had predicted there were no such thing.

Debbie-Elizabeth's House:- Upstairs

She held tightly onto the body of an eight year old girl who's long dark silky hair was matted with blood. Debbie-Elizabeth had tears in her eyes but what could be expected, when she had found her parents murdered down in the living room and her younger sister murdered in her bedroom. She muttered Megan's name under her breath a few times as she rocked her. It wouldn't do any good and even Debbie-Elizabeth knew this. Why wouldn't she know this… maybe because she was begging that she could wake Megan up?

Debbie-Elizabeth was too busy grieving to even notice someone orb into the house.
"Debbie we have to-" But she did hear Paige's voice sail off after speaking as she turned around tears falling from her eyes. "I'm too late." Paige walked over her red hair swaying by her chest as she sat down on her knees trying to get her to let go of the body. "Come on, we have to get you to my place. The demons may attack again. You're all that's left." Paige said as Debbie-Elizabeth's fingers came loose and she was able to pull her close.

"But-"

Halliwell Mansion

"I can't just leave them here!" She called out nearly in a shout as Paige had taken her right in the middle of a conversation between Chris and Emily. Debbie-Elizabeth looked around. "I have to go back." Her hand formed a fist as more tears fell. Glaring at Paige she could have hit her. "Take me back." Was that an order? "Now." No, that was an order. Paige shook her head as she comforted the distressed girl. Her eyes looked to Chris and Emily who looked confused. Paige put her finger to her lips as she moved to see what the book of shadows was open at. Famous genies, huh? Well she didn't want Debbie-Elizabeth any where near that… if she was to see anyone she knew then it may upset her. Paige orbed Debbie-Elizabeth up to Melina's bedroom.

"What was that about?" Emily asked as Chris shrugged. "Well Debbie looked very upset…" She pointed out the obvious as she skimmed the famous genie's section. Helena McKessie. That was the name of the third genie down on the list. "Listen to this; Helena McKessie was one of the most powerful genie's who made it her legacy to be recognised through a special scarf that she would wear in her hair. She would promise that every daughter and their daughter that she had would wear one also." Chris raised an eyebrow. He was interested in that way? He didn't really agree to this, Emily just helped herself after he looked through the first page. All he wanted to know was about the threats that there were to genies. "She died at least twenty years ago and now the rein was down to her grandson who was famous for marrying a witch."

Chris looked at the scarf in Helena's photo's hair. That was familiar but he wasn't sure why and it was starting to bug the hell out of him. Paige orbed back down to the living room. She looked around, Chris looking at her and Emily fussing over the book. Where Billy was, that was a mystery, he managed to get everywhere without them noticing. "What happened with her?" He asked recalling the female who Paige had brought home with her. Paige looked down before walking towards the kitchen to see if that was where Piper still was. Chris looked up the stairs. "Oh nothing, she's fine honestly. That would have done." He spoke loud enough for only Emily to here. Yet Emily didn't seem pleased that Chris would speak to his elder like that.

"Your serious aren't you, Paige. I didn't know that Debbie's parents were genies." Paige stopped Piper in mid speak. Piper looked to the door where Chris was eavesdropping. "Its rude to do that you know, you should know better." Chris turned around and leant against the wall away from Piper's eyes but he could still hear. So that was her big secret? She was a genie – yes that was right the scarf reminded him of Debbie-Elizabeth's. So she was a genie."No, Debbie's mother was a witch. I don't know why the demons killed her but they took her parents and her little sister away. Is it okay if she stays here with you lot for now?" Paige asked Piper who just nodded with an 'of course.' Chris looked up to the ceiling, the room where Melinda usually stayed that would be where she was as well. He didn't realise that that had happened. He wouldn't have let it happen if he knew about her background. So they weren't friends but they were still classmates and of course he cared about what happened to her. He cared about what happened to everyone… Emily… Billy… everyone…

"She may not want to go to school tomorrow. That's fine keep Chris off to keep her company if he wants to but make sure she's back in on Thursday. Debbie has a genie exam then." Piper nodded to what Paige had to say. "I better get back to the school." It was then that Paige waved goodbye to her sister before orbing off. Piper crossed her arms as she looked to the door knowing Chris was still there. As if almost sensing his mother's anger Chris appeared in between the door frames. Not much as a guilty look on his face. Even after she had just told Chris that eavesdropping was bad.

"Your twenty three now, I shouldn't have to tell you off!" Piper could have yelled. "It's not funny after all that that girl has went through and you're here making out like it's a joke. You had to have to do that in front of your aunt as well!" Chris moved his hand out as if to protest – well yes he was protesting.

"It's not like she's not used to it."

"That's not the point." Chris sighed as he crossed his arms in the same way his mother had done. "The point is your staying home to be with that girl up there if it kills you." It was obvious by now that Chris could have said that it probably would have. Piper gave him a stern expression as she headed past him and up the stairs so she could meet this girl herself. Emily tapped Chris on the shoulder with a smug look on her face to say, that he got in trouble and she didn't.

"Don't bothering saying anything, Ems." Emily shrugged as she found where Billy was lying now. He was back on the sofa, she tutted before she found place sitting on him once more. She bounced on him to try and wake him up. Billy only turned in his sleep pushing Emily, who then started falling back on the ground. "You deserved that… it only shows that he's sleeping mind you. He's far too stupid to do anything awake." This wasn't Chris… Emily could tell. Usually he would have said something far worse.

The three of them looked up to the ceiling when a crash was heard. Chris moved to go up the stairs at the same time as a shriek was heard… one that he knew belonged to Debbie-Elizabeth. He called out for his mum to see if she could hear him but something had happened because he heard nothing from her. Emily followed up the stairs as Billy waited down the stairs in case of anyone else to come in to attack.
