AN. We are nearing the end of this story, I am really out of interesting things to happen for this story, so there won't be much chapters after this one. Enjoy!
Chapter 13
It was a couple of weeks later, and Chris had kept his promise. He and the twins visited the Halliwell family more often now. Chris had talked about it with Bianca, and they had both come to the conclusion that Bianca should stop visiting them for some time. While Chris was sure most of the family was okay with his choice and were happy that Bianca was now a part of the family, some were still being stubborn and couldn't get over their old morals. This fitted mostly for Piper, but Leo too made a problem about Bianca.
"Chris, I love you, we all love you, you know that! We just don't want to see you get hurt, is that so wrong of us?" Piper had argued one time when Chris had asked about her reasons for her behavior towards Bianca. "Really Piper, you're going to pull the concerned mother card on me? Are you stupid or something? Bianca and I love each other, nothing will ever change that, and especially not your stupid thoughts on the matter" Chris could not believe his ears, after all these years Piper would still try and break Bianca and Chris up! "I can't believe you! How dense can you get, just because Bianca had phoenix blood in her you don't like her. She is not a demon, she is an loving and caring woman! She fights demons for crying out loud! When will it get through your thick skulls? I won't ever leave her, I won't ever hurt her, and I won't ever listen to you all bashing her! Just like she would never leave or hurt me!" Chris was beginning to get really angry, this was the umpteenth time he had to defend Bianca to his family, and frankly he was getting sick of it.
So after that one visit Chris had stopped their visits for a while, it was strange for him, having the power now. Still Bianca thought it was stupid to break up their newly found family love just because of some words, and so she made the arrangements for a visit, only this time she was coming, and this time she would show those people how much she loved her husband, and how wrong they were.
That's how the family found themselves arguing on a nice Sunday afternoon. "Just stop making judgments! The nerve of the woman, Bianca thought. She was very angry as was Chris. Piper had told the kids to play outside, she would show Chris once and for all how poorly he had chosen his girl. She had started to make cruel comments to Bianca, and soon enough the argument had started. Too bad for Piper that Chris knew what she was up to, and to bad for the rest that Bianca knew this too. Still that wouldn't stop her from insulting Piper, she had just about enough of the woman.
The argument went on and on, until an scared scream made them all go quiet '' Mommmyy! Dadddy! HEEEEEEEELLLLPPP!'' they heard Sophia yell, before some explosions went off, then it went totally silent. Chris and Bianca jumped into action as soon as the first word reached their ears, running like crazy people. Just as they entered the garden they say two demons shimmering away with their children. "Noooooo!'' Bianca yelled, but it had no use, they were too late and the children were already gone. Bianca burst into tears, while Chris just stood there looking shocked.
'' Okay people listen up, I want Wyatt and Bianca looking through the book, try to indentify the demons, Piper pick some of the cousins and start making potions, any potions as long as they help us! Leo and Paige, go and see the elders gather information! Phoebe pick some and start scrying, I will do some spells!" Chris said, as soon as he got over his shock, this was no time for stupid staring, he needed to save his kids!
And so everybody scrambled up to do their job, Piper started telling people to get her ingredients. Paige and Leo orbed away as quickly as they could, and Coop went to see if any cupids had information, you never know. Prue went to other magical beings to gather info, and so the family split up and began working. Nobody fought with one another. Their family had been hurt, and is was saving time!
'' how could this happen? HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN!'' Bianca was losing it, the sight of her two babies in the arms of demons was so wrong, on so many levels. Tears fell from her eyes, her whole face was black from the mascara. '' Bianca, I need you to calm down'' Wyatt said, trying in fain to calm his sister-in-law down. He was scared and nervous too, he couldn't imagine how Bianca and Chris must be feeling, having their kids been kidnapped. Though Chris seemed to be doing pretty well. '' What if we can't find them, or if we do what if we are too late? They will hurt them!'' Bianca wailed, she knew now was not the time for panicking, and crying and moaning, but right now she really didn't care. She was a mother and her babies were in danger.
'' Sweetie, we will find them, we will be on time, and they will be fine!'' Chris said, he had heard Bianca yelling and knew his wife had a breakdown, Chris wasn't surprised, he was only minutes away from having a breakdown himself, the only reason he was still standing was because his family needed him right now, and they needed him sane. Bianca ran to Chris, and hugged him tightly, she was still crying, but Chris' words had helped a bit. "how do you know?'' Bianca asked, she really didn't know how Chris did it, how he was still standing strong.
'' Because they are our children, our family. We fight for our family, we will find them Bianca, even if it is the last thing I do, I promise'' Chris said, trying to calm his wife down, trying to make her see reason so she could help them. '' You're right, I can't believe I let myself act this way, we need to get into action'' Bianca said, looking into Chris' eyes.
Hours, dozens of potions and spells they were ready for action. Scrying gave them nothing, the elders or any other magical beings had no information, and the torture of some demons hadn't helped either, but finally after some searching in the underworld they knew where to be. They had to fight of the clan that had almost killed Wyatt and Prue months back. They all thought the whole clan was vanquished, but apparently they had more in numbers than the family could have thought. And now they wanted revenge.
'' I can't believe it! How could we let this happen? How could we not know that the clan was still seeking revenge? I mean, I knew they wanted revenge, I researched them and everything, I should have known they had a couple of dozen or more at their stupid lair…'' Prue was rambling, she was very scared and was feeling very guilty. '' Prue, it is not your fault, how were you to know about the rest of the clan? We both fought them, I did not know about this tiny piece of information either'' Chris said, though he was blaming himself too, he should have made sure there were no survivors, he knew how dangerous it was to not kill an entire clan, since they will always seek revenge. '' Just let it go Prue, what if's won't help us, or the kids for that matter'' Wyatt said, he knew why Prue felt the way she did, he had felt it often before, guilt, but she wasn't to blame, nobody was this time. '' You can stop thinking that way too Chris'' Bianca said, after her breakdown she quickly regained her senses.
'' Would it be a good idea if we got the phoenix clan to help? It would certainly give us numbers'' Chris said, trying to form a battle plan. Piper wanted to say something, she wanted to tell Chris that the Phoenix clan were demons, and that they were dangerous, but Bianca had already shimmered out, and was already informing them. Soon enough the Phoenix clan was informed and one by one they were filling up the Halliwell manor.
Bianca quickly gave the whole clan an explanation of what had happened, what they had done so far. Prue told them about the clan they were fighting, and about the family's history with them. So they began forming a battle plan, most of the Halliwell family was impressed by the Phoenix clan, they were sure good in their job! The only one who wasn;t happy with everything was Piper, but she knew when to shut up, and so she wisely kept quiet. The chance of succeeding in rescuing the twins was far greater with the phoenix clan's help.
So at the end of the afternoon everything was ready, everyone was informed of their task during the battle, they were all given potions and spells and everybody knew where to go and what to do. '' People, giddy up, it's time to save the brats'' Lynn said, she had been so scared when she heard her daughter telling her that her grandchildren were kidnapped, she had shimmered to the manor as quickly as she could, helping the best as she could. She hoped, oh how she hoped that everything would be okay.
Soon enough everybody had made their way to the demon lair, explosions, screams, spells, daggers, energyballs, lightning-shocks, potions. I was an complete mess in the lair, everybody was fighting for their and their family's lives. Chris and Bianca began looking for their kids as soon as they materialized in the lair. And after some fighting and saving they saw what they were looking for. The twins were in a cage, looking scared as hell. "mommy and daddy are coming sweeties, we're coming'' said Bianca, and they began to make their way to the twins.
Just as they reached the cage Bianca was hit, '' Aaaah!'' she yelled, falling down. Chris killed the demon quickly and made sure Bianca was okay. '' I'm okay, get the kids out of that cage'' yelled Bianca, trying to get up again. Chris did as told, and got the kids out of their cage.
"are you two okay?" Chris asked as soon as the twins were freed, looking them over to make sure. The twins were crying, they were very scared and had some bruises but other than that they were okay. ''it's okay, you're okay, we're okay'' Bianca said as a mantra, trying to calm herself and her kids down. '' Sweeties, I need you to listen to me, okay? You can't leave our sight, do you hear me? Stay with us at all times, don't try to help, don't try to be heroic, we're going to get you out of here okay?" Chris said, getting the kids in between Bianca and himself, in the hopes they would be shielded from the fight. The twins nodded, and made sure they were right besides their parents.
'' We need to get to the other side of the cave, I think the leader or somebody put an anti orbing and shimmering spell on the lair as soon as we arrived" Chris said after several failed attempts at orbing, Bianca had no luck either. "Okay!'' Bianca yelled, trying to be heard over all the noise. '' let's go'' Chris said, and slowly Bianca, Chris, Jason and Sophia made their way through the lair, and through the fights.
They were almost at the other side when they heard an desperate yell: '' NOOOOOOOOO!'' Bianca and Chris spinned around, trying to see what was going on, but the only thing they saw was an huge fireball coming their way, it was getting closer really fast. '' Duck!'' '' Look out!'' yells were heard from all around them, but the fire ball was coming right at them way too fast. The bystanders could only do one thing, and that was hoping, begging and praying that they would find a way out.
'' Noooooo!'' Was all the Halliwell family and Phoenix clan heard as they saw the fire surrounding Chris, Bianca and the twins.
