Chapter twelve / last part:
…
"Leeeeo!" Phoebe who stud next to the elder embraced him enthusiastically. "You came to our rescue! But oh no, now your orbing powers are gone too, you know this cave…"
"I know, I know…Chris already told me. A fellow elder orbed me here. But let's talk when you are somewhere safe. Take my hands and up we go!"
Piper who still tried to take in what she'd just seen was unusually quiet. Chris had once more saved them at the risk of his own life. The wacky boy had taken on a huge horde of demons – alone! What was this with every time risking his head for his plans? A strange kind of death-wish?
Oh Piper would talk with her son about that as soon as they were out of this hell-hole…by the way where was he?
"Has anyone a clue were Junior is right now?!" She asked cautiously.
"Dunno! No sawy!" Came her sisters' answers promptly.
"He was standing over there before…" Paige pointed which drew the common attention to the spot where Chris should have been.
Leo stud still with his outstretched arms and felt utterly ignored. "Come on you three; let's get you out of here first. This is the sources lair, no park as I may remind you. I have no intention to meet the source itself!"
"Not without my son!" Piper stated resolved while she climbed over the last rocks to look for her missing youngest.
"That again…" Leo started to moan but was interrupted by a shrill scream.
"CHRIS!" Piper had found the limp body of the young whitelighter.
"He has even over-exceeded my expectations!" A deep voice spoke eerily out of the darkness.
"Let's get out! NOW!" Leo started to panic. "I'll come back to get him, promised!"
"NOT without HIM!" Piper was firm.
"You won't escape me anyway!" The seer sneered sure of victory as she emerged from the shadows.
"Now now, Seer! Everyone knows that you have no offensive powers and your minions are all gone. Do you really think you are a match, even with our reduced powers…"
A dry laugh resounded from the stonewalls.
"So where do you think the absorbed powers went, elder? I'll have to deliver them to the source finally, but by now they are all channelled inside of ME. You have no conception of how much power this pain-in-the-ass whitelighter possessed, haven't you?"
With that she conjured the biggest energy ball in her hand Leo had ever seen.
Leo activated his elder powers, always the words of Chris "You use them – you lose them!" resounding in his head. Ok then this had to be resolved with one hit.
And what a hit it was! The seer was flung into the wall a nasty hole gaping in her chest. But she didn't try to fight the inevitable. She had already known it would come that way.
Leo, Phoebe and Paige ran immediately to Piper and the still unmoving Chris.
"We orb now!" Leo decided without further discussion. And soon the whole Halliwell clan including one for once unresisting young whitelighter dissolved in sparkles of blue and white.
…
"Mommy!" The sources daughter ran crying out of her hiding place. "Please don't die mommy!"
"I can't change this, honey…we…knew…it would come that way." The seer choked out with vanishing strength.
"But I don't want to!" The girl answered defiant and hurt.
"I know…but you will avenge your mom, will you?" She stroked a bloody hand over her little daughters' cheek with the last of her power.
"We will punish them mommy, I swear!" She said with all the resolve of a five year old.
"I just started to destroy the strongest of them. He will never find rest now, believing that he can't be the heir of the greater good…which he already is." She chuckled evilly, blood seeping out of her mouth. "I set up the most destructive thing in his mind. The…the thing hardest to fight – DOUBT!"
"I don't understand that, mommy!" The trembling girl said, round eyes staring intently as if to will away death itself.
"But you will, believe me one day you will!" Slowly the seers' eyes started to flutter shut.
"Then my aim in life will be vengeance to all Halliwells! S´that what you want?"
"That's my girl! You'll become the source one day. P….promise…me…"And with these words the life left the seers eyes forever."
"I promise, mommy, I promise!" …
