Hi, I know it's been a while. I'm struggling currently with a little writers-block, but I've finally managed another chapter. Thanks again for all the reviews. So, here we go once more:

Chapter eighteen: Where do you think you're going?

Previously on CYTMWIA:

"Well, so since I'm a witch - does that mean you're a witch, too?"

Jesses jaw dropped. "No!"

"But mom is one?"

"God, no!"

Now Nicky was confused. "But how come I am?"

His father didn't answer as he looked dismayed at his hands.

"Dad? How come I am?"

Jesse looked pained in his eyes. "I think you know how." His answer was almost a whisper.

Nicky's house, night

"I am adopted?" Nicky's words hung for a moment in the room, like three little orphans don't know where to go, mimicking exactly the teenager's momentary emotions.

Jesse simply nodded.

Nicky just couldn't believe what his father was trying to tell him. No wait, not father. Jesse and Anna weren't his parents. He wasn't theirs. His whole life had been a complete lie! Oh dear God.

At this moment, his gaze fell on a picture of the three of them. It had been taken at a picnic a few years ago. They had gone to the nearby park and he had played soccer with his father while his mom had packed out the food and the drinks. Then she had called them over. "Can't have my only child starving to death, can I?", his mom had said.

"Only child! Don't make me laugh!", Nicky thought as sudden anger took a hold of him. His hands were shaking as he stared furious at the picture. Suddenly it blew up.

Jesse let out a surprised shriek, then he turned to his fuming child. He knew from Chris that powers were tied to emotions and right now his kid looked at him with killing eyes.

"Nicky", he began reluctantly.

"Don't!" The teenager interrupted him roughly. "Don't say anything; I don't want to hear it! You two lied to me my whole life, how could you?!"

The ceiling lamp was the next thing to explode.

"Calm down, buddy and we will talk about this. I will explain everything to you, just... calm down, please." Jesse now pleaded with his son, fearing he was going to blow him up as well.

"No!" Nicky screamed as the clock on the wall blew up.

"Oh my God, what's going on here?" Anna shrieked as she – woken up by the explosions - rushed in the living room.

Nicky couldn't take it any more. Perturbed and scared of his own powers he ran out of the house. He didn't know where he was going as he run down the street. He just wanted to get away from everything as far as possible.

When he finally came to an halt he realized he had run to the nearby park.

A sudden shout of his name let him spun around to realize Jesse had followed him.

"You stay from me!" Nicky shouted back as the street light near Jesse blew up.

Just then a probe appeared and let his yellow rays scan over Nicky's frozen body. When it's transmitting finished it gave away a beeping sound and suddenly a demon shimmered in.

"Now now, what have we here, an unregistered witch." He mocked as he grabbed a hold of the frightened teenager.

All reasonable thoughts left Nicky and panic took over as the strange man grabbed him.

"Dad, Chris!", he shouted as the man shimmered him and himself out.

Alex' house, night

Adrianna was tapping her foot angrily at the ground. Alex should have been back by now. He should have been back an hour ago, to be concrete. Just because summer holidays began tomorrow didn't mean the 14-year-old could stay away past midnight! Oh, when she got a hold of him he was so grounded!

Frankly, she was beginning to get scared. Alex was a wild kid – damn, she hadn't been much better herself when she was his age - but he knew his limits. So why wasn't he back by now?

All of a sudden, a swirl of white and blue lights appeared in the middle of the room. After a second, her son was standing in front of her.

"Alex!" She blurted out. "What did you ... how?"

"No time for explaining! We have to get out of here, NOW!" Alex cut her off while she was gaping at him like a fish.

He made a move to take her hand and get her out of here as fast as possible but his plans were crushed when the red-head and 14 other demons shimmered in – fireballs in their hands.

"This so isn't my day!" Alex muttered.

Jerek watched the teenager take a protective stance in front of his mother.

"Ok, kiddo, we can do this the hard way or..."

Right then, Wyatt, Benji, Bianca and the two versions of Chris orbed in.

Jerek huffed. "Ok, I think we're going for the hard way, then." He turned to his companions. "Fire!"

Chris redirected the first wave of fireballs telekinetically back towards the demons, causing 4 of them to burn on the spot, while the others managed to duck.

Soon, everyone was fighting with at least one demon.

Chris had grabbed a floor lamp from nearby and used it against one demon like a fighting stick.

As one of his companions made a move for Bianca, she quickly summoned an athame and stabbed him.

Benji was laying on his back. The demon he had fought against had threw a punch at him, causing the black haired witch to fall backwards, and was now standing over him with an ugly sneer on his face.

"That's going to hurt.", he laughed evilly while pulling an athame out of his coat.

"Damn straight!", came the sudden reply as Adrianna – after breaking through her momentary shock – had grabbed a nearby potted plant and crashed it upon his head.

The demon tumbled. Benji used this opportunity and threw the demon off his feet. He then grabbed the head of the thing and it started to rot, just like the one in the alley before.

Wyatt meanwhile had managed to throw one of the creatures through the window. God, how he hated not being able to use his powers! Sure, he could fight bare hand as well, as his aunt Phoebe had been a great teacher in self-defence, but this was just humiliating!

He just realized a fireball had been thrown at him when he found himself on the ground – for the second time in a few hours! Just like before, Alex had thrown himself at him in order to push him and himself out of harms way.

The blonde teenager seemed to have similar thoughts, because as he lay on top of him he muttered: "You know, this is getting old quickly."

"A penny for your thoughts!", Wyatt snarled back, angry at himself for being rescued twice a day by that runt.

Just then another fireball flew their way. Wyatt reacted quickly and flipped the kid and himself over just in time to avoid the fireball. Seeing the demon that had thrown it advance he kicked out and sent the demon flying backwards slightly. Then he pushed himself to his feet, just as demon stood up himself. He tried to form a new fireball but Wyatt was prepared. He grabbed a hold of the demons arm and twisted it back. Then he pushed him merciless in the line of another fireball. Alex found himself staring with new found respect at the blonde man in front of him.

The demon screamed as it went up in flames, causing Chris to turn around and notice the demon that had thrown the fireball originally at him.

With an angry snarl he blew him up, then turned around again to vanquish another demon that was making an effort to get a hold of a screaming Adrianna.

Something that didn't went unnoticed by Alex as he attempted to make a beeline over to his mother. But he didn't get far. Jerek, who had held back until now got in his way and grabbed him with one arm around the waist and the other one around his neck.

Alex just managed to let out a surprised yelp, causing the adults to look his way, before he was shimmered out by the demon.

"No!" Chris and Adrianna screamed out in horror as they watched him being kidnapped. However, Chris desperation quickly turned into hot anger as he watched the remaining demons attempt to shimmer out as well. With an outstretching motion of his hands he sent a giant telekinetic blast their way, ripping them apart completely.

As he let his hands fall to his side, he felt the glances of Adrianna and three stunned people from the past on him, but he ignored them. Instead he made his way over to the last remaining demon, which shuddered like the mouse in front of the cat.

When he frightened tried to shimmer away, the dark haired man telekinetic-orbed him against the nearest wall.

"Where do you think you are going?" Chris asked deadly calm. Then he muttered "Crystals!" and 5 crystals appeared instantly around the demon, preventing him from escape.

Just then the oldest Halliwell heard a terrified voice in his head: "Chris!"
