Wyatt instantly pushed Phoebe away from him as Norxous came striding into the room. It was easier to keep her safe if she wasn't directly by him and in the way of being fired at. He hoped at least. Most demons killed the weak one first, but Wyatt was going to do his damnedest to keep his aunt safe. If he couldn't protect Victoria he sure as hell was going to protect his aunt from Death.

Victoria. He couldn't think about her right now. If he did he'd be too distracted against the attacks that Norxous was going to throw at him. He just wished that his aunt hadn't made a chaotic mess of the attic on top of everything. It would be easier to get rid of Norxous if he was by the book and could find the vanquish in it for him. But he had no idea where the book could be in all the mess. Without the book, he would have to wait out Norxous and see how stupid the demon could be. Which, at the moment, he was doubting the stupidity factor of the demon considering he'd waited till now to attack only the two of them. For all Wyatt knew, Norxous was just dividing and conquering the Charmed family until everyone was dead and there was no one left between himself and Leigh.

Leigh. God, he hadn't thought about Leigh since.. Well, he couldn't really remember the last time she had annoyed him. It had to have been this morning when she'd woken up in his room and caught him in a towel.

This morning.. It didn't seem like it'd only been hours ago before everything changed. Before he found out what Victoria was really battling. The vampire nature of whatever was taking over her.

The moment she had kissed him.

He wanted it to be more than a kiss. It had to be more than a kiss, right?

They'd kissed on top of the bridge while the world woke up around them and the sun started over the horizon. If that wasn't romantic he didn't know what was.

Wyatt could still see the warm orange light brushing over her porcelain skin. Her dark violet eyes opening to look up at him as her lips left his. She didn't know, but he had never expected a kiss from anyone to be that good. It couldn't have just been a kiss, right? It couldn't have just been her thanking him for letting her take some of his energy to stay alive, could it?

Her eyes. Her face.. The moment that Chris had appeared whatever they had had between each other had just disappeared. It was like a spell had lifted and she'd realized what she was doing and who she'd hurt. She had went after Chris, but Chris.. He'd thrown her against the bridge. He'd broken almost all of her bones when she'd tried to explain to him. How could Chris claim to love her when he'd done that?

Wyatt tried to calm his anger towards his brother, but he knew he couldn't. It was Wyatt's fault. He should have stopped her from kissing him. He should have just let her live and told everyone what was going on with her. It should have been a family decision on who helped her not some rash decision on the spur of the moment to save her. Chris hadn't meant to hurt her that bad.

Chris hadn't understood. Why? Why hadn't she told Chris what was happening? Why had she let him in and not Chris?

But none of that mattered now. They'd never know, never understand what was happening to her. Death had come after her. Death. No one could fight Death. It wasn't fair!

A fireball flew past Wyatt almost striking him but at the very last moment he ducked out of its way. Bringing him out of his thoughts, and forcing him to take some kind of action. Norxous's black hair fell into his black eyes as he watched them. A fireball starting to grow in his hands again.

"Looks like he already has his magic back, doesn't it?" Phoebe asked Wyatt.

"Sure does. How's that possible?"

"I'm in the same house as the one carrying my powers." Norxous spit at them. "I can still tap into them. Not like it's hard now considering how they're taking over her. It'll only a matter of time before they kill her and I'll be here waiting. And you, you will all be dead."

"I don't think so," Wyatt replied and threw his own power back at Norxous. The electric ball threw Norxous back against the wall, but he merely bounced off of it and wiped his shoulder.

"That all you got, Witch?"

"Did he just call me a witch?" Wyatt asked Phoebe.

"Uh, yeah. I think he did." she replied from her spot beside the stained glass window.

Wyatt threw two more balls of electricity at Norxous. One he aimed at his chest and the other he aimed at his abdomen. He hoped one of them would make some kind of dent in the demons armor.

"You fool. As long as I have my powers you can't kill me." Norxous yelled back and threw his fireball.

Wyatt jumped out of the fireballs way, but it still struck his foot. Pain shot up from his toes to his ankle. He cried out and leaned back against the couch. He quickly kicked out the flames that were licking at his calves and sat back up against the couch. He tried to slowly move his legs once the flames were gone but pain raced up them.

"Damn it," he whispered, biting back pain.

Phoebe stared at him from her corner adjacent to him. She saw the pain cross his face and looked back at Norxous. Her nephew was in trouble and she couldn't just sit there and watch. Besides, she had to show Wyatt that she was an all powerful Charmed One that he didn't have to protect or throw in the corner to save. She had to admit she deserved it after the last stunt she had done trying to get more powers than she'd had before by using the Book of Shadows, but that was all because of a spell.

Phoebe stepped out of the corner and towards the demon. She had powers and it was time she used them. Instantly, she started to channel the demons feelings. His anger ran over her just as thick and deadly as the flames that had burned her nephews feet. Norxous was enraged because someone had betrayed him and taken his powers off of him.

"How dumb could you be to let someone just walk away with your powers?" she asked him with her hands balled at her sides.

"Witch, I'll take my time vanquishing you." he told her crossing the distance between them.

Before she could comment the door to the attic flew open. Paige stepped in and took in the whole scene. Her eyes growing huge as she took in the destroyed attic and then the demon standing beside Phoebe. Instantly, she waved her hand at the demon and towards the wall, "Demon!"

"Paige, where have you been?" Phoebe cried.

"Magic school. Midterms week and parent teacher conferences. Not to mention a student cast a spell on me because I gave her a 'C'. A 'C' it's not like I failed her!" Paige cried walking over to Phoebe.

'Oh, Paige," Phoebe couldn't help but giggle. "Your hair.. It's so green!"

"Don't. I know. Needless to say, the girl that did this is so expelled."

Norxous flew hard into the wall and slid down it, but he caught himself before he hit the ground. He turned to face Paige and growled. She looked at him and made a face. She repeated what she had done before slamming him harder into the wall.

"What did I miss?" Paige asked.

"A lot!" Phoebe emphasized waving her hand over the attic.

"What happened to the attic?" she cried waving her hand.

"Leigh, our innocent, has powers that are messing with anyone that gets in contact with her. Piper forgot she was magical. Wyatt.. I don't know I think he came up here for the same reason that I was up here."

"And that would be what?" Paige asked, her eyebrows raising to be hidden under her bangs.

"Well, power. I wanted more powers."

"Figures. Where is everybody though. I mean, come on. I heard the explosion and I ran up here so where's everybody else at?"

"Good question. I don't know." Phoebe looked over at Wyatt for help.

"Well, Chris is.. Gone. Victoria is with Death. Uh, mom was downstairs playing Pollyanna with Leigh. Dad, Dad left after the fight."

"Wow, wow. Fight?" Piper asked.

But Norxous was up again. He threw a fireball at her, but Phoebe channeled him and threw it straight back at him. He cried out and held his side. "Witch!"

"Yeah, what's it to you?" Phoebe asked.

"I'll be back and when I do."

"Yadda yadda kill us yadda yadda, right?" Paige asked.

The demon stared at her a moment and then shimmered out. Paige shook her head, "You'd think they'd figure out a better come back by now."

"He's immune to Wyatts powers. We really should find a vanquish for him when he does come back," Phoebe told her.

"Yeah, yeah. All in good time." Paige replied and turned back to Wyatt. "Spill, what happened? What fight?"

Wyatt looked between both of his aunts. His shoulders hunched and he shrugged, "It's a long story."

"Well, I don't hear anyone calling my name. No school to attend, and you've got my attention. So, talk already."

"I still need to be healed and Phoebe should be checked too. I don't know if I missed anything when I healed her since Norxous interrupted."

"Alright. I'll heal you both. In the meantime you can start telling me this epic story you want to hide." Paige insisted.

"Fine," he replied and started telling them the whole story…..

……Leigh sat beside Piper biting her lip the whole time. Piper's water had broken and she was still unconscious which was something that she knew had to be bad. She slowly touched Piper's sweaty forehead. It was cold and she was shivering.

Leigh had no idea what to do. Everyone had just left without a trace. Besides, what was she supposed to do? Here, she was stuck in a house full of crazy people who somehow had creepy magical powers. The only person she'd even thought was safe to be around had been kidnapped by Wyatt.

Geez. Some girls had all the fun. Not only did Victoria have a hottie sensitive guy chasing her, but she had Wyatt one of the best looking guys in a towel she'd ever seen. Jealous, she had to admit it.

But now here she was stuck in a kitchen with a woman that seriously had went off the deep end. First, Piper was the leader of the family and next she's a freaking Stepford Wife. Leigh had no idea what to do now.

She knew she could leave. There wasn't anyone left to stop her. After the huge magical battle between Chris and Wyatt over Victoria, everyone had just ditched the place.

Then, Piper had fainted. No matter how much Leigh thought about running and getting as far away from these crazy alien people she couldn't just leave Piper alone. Which was crazy considering Piper was one of the people holding her hostage. Leigh just knew she was suffering from a crazy bout of Stockholm Syndrome and now here she was waiting for her main captor to wake up.

As much as Leigh didn't want to admit it, a lot of what the family had said and were doing made sense. They were trying to keep her safe and of course their home base was the best place to. Still, all she wanted to do was go home and crawl into her bed and forget about last night when her life had just gone plain crazy.

But she couldn't.

Leigh wiped the stray hair out of Piper's face and looked around the kitchen. She grabbed a washcloth and wet it. She laid it over Piper head and then she ran into the living room for a pillow to rest Pipers head on. No matter what, she didn't want to move Piper. Besides, she couldn't. She could barely carry her three-year-old cousin let alone a grown pregnant woman.

"Piper," she said uncomfortably trying to wake Piper up.

Leigh knew she shouldn't be here. This was just plain crazy. Maybe, if she closed her eyes and clicked her heels together she'd be okay.

Frowning, she tried it. Maybe, just maybe some magic would come out of it considering she was here in a house containing magical creatures. Maybe, it rubbed off. She'd always wanted to move stuff with her mind or read peoples thoughts that could be cool not to mention the fact that she could finally find out what Bobby Dumbcheck thought about her or hell find out what really happened to her red stilettos that Chloe had borrowed from her last year.

Leigh slowly opened her eyes hoping for home. Instead, she found herself still stuck in the kitchen. Frowning she slouched over and looked down at a still unconscious Piper.

"Piper!" she called again trying to wake her up. "Come on, Piper. You're water broke and I totally have no experience at this kind of thing. Maybe, if you nabbed my friend Betty we'd be better off since she's like 24 and has a kid, but me? Nadda."

Piper didn't move. She remained unconscious. Leigh went to bend over and take the towel off of Piper's forehead when her vision blurred. She grabbed the side of the island and closed her eyes. She opened them but the world swirled around her blurrily. She tried to catch her breath, but it didn't work. Instead, the world swirled around her faster as if she were twirling.

"Piper, come on." she whimpered. "I think I need your help now."

Before she could do anything else, Leigh fell over. She laid right beside Piper. Her side touching the cold ground as she tried to catch her breath. It felt like something was ripping at her skin and clawing at her throat, but when she opened her eyes there was nothing there. All she saw was red everywhere around her on the floor, but she couldn't understand what it was or where it was coming from.

Her eyes rolled back up into her head and the world disappeared…

…."Let me get this straight." Paige said turning to Wyatt and Phoebe as she paced back to them. "You kissed Chris's girlfriend, Chris got pissed and fought you, and you just let him leave. You didn't even try to explain?"

"Well, what was I supposed to do."

"Well, not kiss your brother's love interest for one thing," Phoebe pitched in.

"Hey! She kissed me."

"Yeah, but I don't think she did it for the same reason that you did," Paige said.

Wyatt glared at her.

"Anyways, you need to go and get Chris back cause Norxous isn't going to stay away forever and we need to get Leigh out of here."

"No way." Wyatt replied.

"Yes way, Wyatt. We can't just wait for Chris to stop sulking cause believe me I know he can do it way longer than any other human being on earth. So, you have to go and get him back. I don't care what you say to him, or hell what you do. Just get him back here pronto so we can fix this before it gets any worse." Paige ordered.

Wyatt folded his arms over his chest and glared at his aunt. She glared right back at him with one eyebrow raised and waited for him to go. Finally, he gave up and left.

"What are we going to do with those two?" Phoebe asked her.

"More like three. I don't know what's up with Victoria, but in my book she's an innocent now and we have to save her."

"What about what Wyatt said about Death taking her?"

"If he wanted Victoria dead he could have done it already. Besides, I have a sneaking feeling that there is some kind of magic relation to all of the things that have happened in the last few days. So, if we can pull everyone back together. Gets the boys resolved for two seconds and call Death here we might be able to get some answers."

"You make it sound so easy," Phoebe replied, sarcastically.

Alright, I'm curious. Do I still have any of my old readers reading this or do i have new ones?
