I don't owe Charmed and make no profit what so ever on this.

That time went slower in Elderland was nothing new, so no one was worried that Leo had yet to make an appearance even though an entire night had gone by. And as Phoebe delicately put it, "the Elders are probably being a pain as usual."
Piper was now moving around the kitchen cleaning up after the breakfast and Wyatt was with his nieces entertaining them with stories about Chris when he was younger.
"… so he did the only thing he could think of. Hid it under the bed and hoped mom wouldn't see it. Of course since Chris was eight he hadn't learned how to keep secrets and acted way to innocent so of course she found out."
"So what happened?" Cassandra asked exited. Melitta was listening closely too.
"Did he get a punishment?" the younger girl wondered.
Wyatt nodded and put a dark and foreboding look on his face, "It was horrible," he said trying to keep from laughing at the girls horrified expressions. He could only imagine what was going through their minds about Chris's punishment.
"Mom made him…" he shook his head, "no, I can't tell you."
"Yes, please," "tell us," they said together.
Wyatt leaned in closer as if revealing a secret and didn't want anyone else to hear. "She made him…" he whispered the rest making them gasp.
"Poor dad," Cassandra said.
"Nah, not really. He was back being a little devil a week later," Wyatt laughed. He looked up as Piper walked in and stopped behind the girls. With a nod with her head she told him to come to the kitchen and mouthed "Leo". He nodded in understanding and she walked back out.
"Ok, girls, there is something I have to do. Why don't you sit here and practice your magic a little. Do those tasks you said Chris showed you," he said standing and walking away.
"Well?" he asked once he got to the kitchen. His parents and Aunts were all there.
"Something weird is going on," Leo said, "as soon as I mentioned this group all Elders stopped talking and made excuses to not speak to me."
"Why would they do that?" Paige wondered.
"From what I managed to pry out and from what I think myself this group is their black spot on a clean record."
"What?" Piper asked confused.
"Elders and Whitelighters are pacifists. We help the light side but don't actually make anyone hunt for demons unless attacked first. Some whitelighters thought this was wrong and they also thought we considered the enemy wrong. Of course they helped when demons attacked but they thought we should go after them first and not just demons but anyone who threatens magic itself."
"And who fell under that category?" Paige asked.
"Demons naturally, but also witches and magical creatures."
"But we don't threaten magic," Phoebe objected.
"They meant those who wanted to expose magic or gain more power then one has."
"Isn't that what you already do up there?" this time Piper asked.
"The Elders has a code the go by, the light side is always good and the dark always evil. That means anyone who screws up and are on the light side deserves more chances but they don't give them to anyone else. These Whitelighters thought that was wrong too, with no punishment there was nothing to stop anyone from dong it again."
"So, what did they do?"
"When they found out that no one else felt like them they disappeared and started this group Chris and Bianca are in. As you noticed with the warlock anyone is welcome to join, as long as they have the best interest for magic."
"So, Chris and Bianca aren't enemies after all," Paige said happily.
"No," Leo said. "I have another piece of news for you. I think I know where Chris and Bianca are, well at least what happened to them."
Everyone got excited and started asking questions.
"Wait, wait," Leo said calming them. "For some reason the Elders didn't want me to now. It's thanks to a young, green, whitelighter that I do. He came to me asking about this strange magical occurrence in Egypt, one that is very rare; a magical hole."
"A what?"
"You have all heard of black holes that exist in space, right? A magical hole is a lot the same. When a large amount of magical energy collides and has nowhere to go, it draws inside, creating a hole. One that sucks in anything magical and don't close until everything around is gone."
"Chris and Bianca are in this hole?" Piper asked, unsure how to react since she never heard of a magical hole before.
"I believe so. It would explain everything," Leo said.
"So how do we get them out?" Wyatt wondered.
"I don't know," Leo said defeated. "No one has ever come out of a hole from what I know and since they are so rare there hasn't been a study about them."

AN: I know this is rudely short. I hesitated a long time before putting it up but you deserve another chapter and since I'm going away during Christmas and New Year to a place without Internet connection, it won't be until the middle of January the next update comes.
Merry Christmas everyone.
