They all sat down together resting and Wyatt and Piper explained what happened. They all then turned to Chris who looked blankly at them.
"What?" Chris questioned.
"We thought you were dead and…well…what happened to you?" Wyatt asked.
Chris looked upset as he thought about it all. "Well I was lying there and I tried to get up, but I couldn't. My vision was blurry and I couldn't make out much. The pain was unbearable and I closed my eyes, hoping that when I opened them it would all be over. It wasn't though."
"Did you hear me come over?" Wyatt asked.
"Yeah. I remember calling your name and I saw you come. Why didn't you heal me?"
"I did until Cole began to choke me then I stopped…I couldn't breathe," Wyatt explained.
"I tried to move and then he threw me against the wall again. I was in too much pain to do anything else and I think I even stopped breathing for a few seconds…I thought I was going to die. I don't remember much after that." Chris looked at Wyatt sadly.
"I'm sorry. I did try to heal you again, but Cole stopped me."
"It's ok. What happened?"
"I went over to you when Cole let his hold on me go. I was going to try and heal you when Cole shimmered over to me and shimmered us both out. I didn't want to leave, but I had no choice…I would have gone back…I just thought it was too late."
"It wouldn't have mattered if you had of come back. Soon after I felt someone lift me up, though I didn't know until later who it was. I was surprised when I woke up and you weren't there."
"What happened after that?" Wyatt asked. He waited for his brother to reply and he could tell that he was reliving it in his mind as tears had come to Chris's eyes.
"I…I remember waking up in a dark cave with demons surrounding me. They had energyballs. Th…th...they told me that they had healed my wounds and put an amulet around my neck which would stop me using my powers. They told me I would work for them now," Chris told them.
"What did you do?" Leo asked, angry that demons would take his son and even angrier that they would make him work for them.
"I did as they said. I couldn't take the amulet off and I couldn't use my powers. I had to take wood from a cave a short while away and place it in the cave that I was in. I was then told that later I would have to build something."
"Build what?" Piper asked softly.
"I don't know. They hit me when I asked and told me to get the wood. Then they beat me up if I wasn't going fast enough…it was horrible…I felt so weak still, but I had to be strong and work well so they wouldn't hurt me more. They still hurt me for fun though or if they were angry at something else."
Nobody knew what to say. They were all shocked by Chris's story. Chris looked at their faces and smiled weakly. "I'm just glad Wyatt came and saved me." Wyatt smiled back at his brother.
"Well when the Elders told us that there was a chance you were still alive I knew I had to find you." Everyone fell silent. No one knew what to say after that. Chris had told them his side of the story and now it was all over.
Piper finally broke the silence. "Maybe we should all just go to bed. We all need to rest and it has been a long night."
Wyatt looked at the time and saw it was early morning which is when he thought of something. "You were in bed before I went to save Chris. What happened when Chris orbed in?"
"I woke up and felt thirsty. I went to get a drink so I came downstairs. I was about to walk in to the kitchen when I heard a noise and saw Chris. I called Leo and he orbed to us," Piper replied.
"Lucky you were awake then I guess," Wyatt said.
"I guess so. It is all over now and we are all here so I suggest this time we all go to bed and stay there," Piper said, smiling at her two sons.

Everyone fell straight to sleep. Wyatt took one last look at the amulet on a small table next to his bed before he fell asleep. He had put it in his pocket after orbing it off Chris and wondered what to do with it. He decided he would think about that tomorrow so he just left it there.
He was fast asleep and didn't notice when someone entered his room. "Thanks for this," a low voice said, picking up the amulet and wrapping it around Wyatt's neck. "Thought you could escape us!?" He looked at the sleeping figure, laughed quietly and shimmered out with Wyatt.
