Summary: Okay I know that everyone who reads this story probably hates me because I haven't updated in a long time. But when I had school going on and then I got stuck because I couldn't think of any fresh ideas. So after a private message from a couple of people I sat down in front of my computer and forced myself to write this latest chapter and guess what; the mojo is back because I have the next chapter written also and the ideas keep on coming. Thanks for sticking by me and hope you enjoy the chapter with the twist and everything (wink wink ;)

Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed but I did have a kinky dream about Leo once and I'll have you know that that dream is mine and not for sale. Anywhoo.

That Bad Sinking Feeling

Wyatt and Chris had been going to different seminars since they orbed up to Elder land. They both had just gotten finished taking their exam and now were in the mist of a practice simulation of how to properly heal a charge. Chris and Wyatt already knew how to use their healing powers and were not listening to what the head Elder was saying.

"God, could this get any more boring" Wyatt smirked as the two looked at each other.

"Yeah, all we need now is Mr. Watts here teaching us about magic history." Chris snorted as he began running his fingers through his hair. As much as he wanted to make his father happy by training to become a white lighter, this had to be the most bored that he had every been. And he still had three more hours to go which was a whole day in real time.

Sighing again he took solace in knowing that he would be carrying on his family tradition. He looked over to his right and noticed that Wyatt was no longer beside him but had found his way over to their aunt Paige. He too made his way over to talk to his Aunt when a sinking feeling hit him in the pit of his stomach. It was one of those feelings that he would get when he got extremely nervous or if something bad was about to happen. His aunt Phoebe once told him that he could develop empathy powers later on in life but he was doubtful; he already had too many powers already. Shaking the feeling off as just nerves, he made his way over to his aunt and his brother and really hoped that was all it was; nerves.

Piper and Leo were driving in their car on their way to Thomas's house when Piper's feeling hit her. She had always been the sister witch who could feel bad things happen before they happened; something she had been able to do before she even knew she was a witch. Like the time she felt so worried that she had to leave work early, in fear of something bad had happened and sure enough she got home to find her sister Paige on the floor unconscious after having early labor pains. The doctors had informed her that if she hadn't found Paige when she did then she would have probably lost her babies. She had never doubted her ability to sense when something was wrong even when others thought she was paranoid.

As if Leo could sense Piper's paranoia, he reached over and grabbed her hand. He placed his fingers in between hers and gave her a smile.

"What are you thinking about." he asked her.

"Nothing, don't worry about."

"Piper, you are aware that I can tell that you are in deep thought about something so why don't you just tell me."

"It's just" she sighed as she placed her head on his shoulder. "I have a bad feeling"

"About what"

"That's it, I don't know. I just have one of those feelings."

"What feelings." Leo pressed on. He knew that he would be better able to help his wife if he knew actually what was going on. He had never argued with his wife about her bad feelings that she got sometimes because most of the time, she was right. He knew that the best thing that he could do was to do his best to help her figure out what she was scared of and help her through it.

"You know the type that I get when I feel something bad is going to happen. And I don't know why I even feel like that because the whole stalker situation is over and everything between us is great."

"But"

"But I can't help to feel how I feel. I don't want to jinx us by making something out of nothing but it's just one of those feelings."

"Piper" Leo smirked. "You are not going to jinx us."

"That's what you say but in the end my feelings always come back to bite us in the ass."

"Piper, how about we just enjoy tonight's festivities and tomorrow will see if something is going wrong with demon activity in the underworld. Maybe that's why you feel this way."

"Fine" Piper smiled as he turned a corner onto the next street. "You're right we should enjoy tonight and worry about this feeling tomorrow."

"Tomorrow"

"Yes tomorrow but we are going to have a wonderful even that we will never forget."

Melinda was bored out of her mind. She had studied everything that she needed to pass her any test that she was going to have to take for many years to come. Sighing she went to the kitchen and looked at her potion. She had added the last ingredient to the potion which was billings root but she had to wait for three hours before it was done. She also still had to wait until it cooled and test it on her dad before she knew if it worked or not.

"Maybe I'll call Prue" she thought to herself but realized that it was Friday night and she was probably off at the movies with some of her other friends. Sighing sadly she walked upstairs to grab another book when she heard the attic door creak open. She looked confused and scared as she walked up the stairs to the attic. Grabbing a potion from the table, she walked into the attic, battle stance ready to attack but soon realized that no one was in there.

"Okay invisible demon, warlock or any-other evil being in here; it's time to come out and get your ass kicked but in case you forgot, I'm the daughter of a charmed one." she yelled to the air only to be greeted by silence. She ran over to the open book and noticed that it was still in place and no one had even touched it.

"Not like they could anyone" she thought aloud as she flipped the book closed. She placed the potion next to the mixing table and went to walk back out the door. Before she got there she heard something rattle that made her stop in her tracks. Tuning around she again noticed that nothing was moving.

"Okay that's weird." she said as she moved towards the noise. She heard the noise again and looked up at a shelf and saw that the noise was coming from a box. Using her powers she telekinetically moved the box directly in front of her and grabbed the potion again, just for safety reasons. She looked in the box and realized that all that was in it was a Ouija board and a couple of old books.

She took out the Ouija board and placed it on the table. She hadn't seen the thing since she was little when her and Prue used it to contact dead spirits. Her mother quickly took it from them saying that they already had enough demons to worry about, they didn't need wandering ghosts added to the mix. She laughed as she placed the board back into the box and got up to walk away, but something hit her on the back of her heel. She turned around and saw the planchette on the floor at her foot.

Melinda picked up the pointer and placed it back in the box and used her powers to place the box back on the shelf. She turned to walk away again but as soon as she turned around the box fell to the floor with a crash, with the Ouija and pointer on top of each other. Melinda went back over to the board and picked it back up. She had been a witch long enough to know that someone was trying to reach her for help and she was obligated to help them.

She took the board back to her room and laid across the bed. Taking the planchette in her hands she looked at the board. Melinda didn';t know what she needed to ask but she had to start somewhere.

"Who are you; do I know you"

She jerked as her hands moved to the first letter on the board.

"…Y…E…S"

"Okay" she whispered. "Are you a friend or foe"

"…F…R…I…E…N…D"

"Duh Melinda" she laughed at herself as she thought about the next question. "It's not like they're going to tell you if they are evil or good. Next question, what do you need"

"…H…E…L…P"

"Gotcha, you need help. What kind of help do you need."

"…D…A…N…G…E…R"

"Who's in danger."

She watched as the pointer moved from the R to the other side of the board and landed on the L. She sucked in a breath as the pointer moved to the E and landed on the O. She jumped up from the bed and looked back on the board. Melinda shook her head at what the board had just told her. Her dad couldn't be in trouble, he just couldn't be because everything that they had just went through. The danger was supposed to be over, right.

She sat back down on the bed and grabbed the pointer in her hands once more. She had to know it whoever it was talking to her was right about her father being in danger.

"Are you sure, is my dad really in trouble." she asked to the surrounding air.

"…Y…E…S"

"But how-when, if I don't save him will he die."

"…Y…E…S"

Melinda could fell the tears well up in her eyes as she thought about her father being in trouble or worse yet dying. Even though she wanted to cry she knew that the spirit was telling her everything for a reason. She was the only one who was able to save her father and she was going to anything she could to save him.

"How do I save him"

"…Y…E…A…R…B…O…O…K…S"

She looked at the word that was just made and confusion covered her face. What did the spirit mean about year books. As she thought about it she realized that her mother had a box of high school year books in the attic.

"That's what they mean" she thought to herself as she left her room and ran to the attic. Spotting the box, she used her powers to move the box down from the shelf and opened the first one she saw from her mom's ninth grade year. She prayed to God that she would be able to find the answer before it was too late.

Thomas had just finished getting ready for dinner that was being served at his night tonight. The clock on the wall showed that it was twenty-five till eight o'clock and sat back on the chair to wait for Piper and Leo to arrive. Suddenly the doorbell rung and he got up from his chair to answer it. He smiled as he opened the door but the smile faded as soon as he saw who it was. What he saw was a man about his height dressed all in black with a hood over his head.

"What the hell do you want"

"I don't even get an hello, how rude is that."

"You're not supposed to be here; how the hell did you even get out." Thomas hissed as he backed away from the door and reached towards his ankle. He stopped when he felt something cold being pressed against his forehead.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" the person hissed as they made their way further inside, gun still pressed to Thomas's head. "And as for me getting out you know how I hate tight spaces."

"What are you doing here Geoffrey."

"What I can't come see my own flesh and blood." the man laughed as he pushed Thomas in the house some more.

"We're not family, not after what you did" Thomas spat as he finally fell down into a chair with Geoffrey towering over him.

"Now I'm upset. I thought you were supposed to take my side but I guess not."

"Take your side" Thomas growled as he tried to stand up only to be pushed back down again. "How could I take your side when everything, all the evidence pointed to you."

"Innocent until proven guilty."

"That doesn't matter because you were proven guilty."

"Still" Geoffrey smiled as he got into Thomas's face. "You're surprised to take my side on everything. You did when you were younger."

"That was before you turned out to be a murderer" Thomas spat. "I don't have any ties to you anymore."

"It's sad you know when your very own brother turns against you." Geoffrey frowned as he pulled something out of his pocket and placed it behind his back. "After all those years of promising to always have my back, the world finally got to you I see."

"The world had nothing to do with it, it was you."

"True but you stopped caring a long time again; every since high school when you went to live with mom and stuck me with our alcoholic father. Tell me Thomas where was the protection then."

"I asked you to come with me but you said no. You can't blame me for-"

"Shut up" Geoffrey screamed as he hit Thomas with the side of his gun. "You knew our mother hated us because I wasn't as perfect as you. She didn't want me to screw up her perfect little life."

"That's not true"

"Yes it is and you know it. No matter what I did I couldn't make her happy and I like to believe that it's her fault that I turned out this way."

"Don't you dare blame our mother for the monster you became. She didn't tell you to stand outside that girl's apartment and watch her, follow her around like you were some lost puppy. She didn't place the knife in your hand when you kidnapped Katie and jabbed it into every piece of flesh you could found."

"That was fun too" Geoffrey laughed as showed Thomas what was behind his back. Thomas eyes widen when he saw that the object his brother was holding was a liquid filled syringe. His brother popped the cap of it and stuck it right into his neck. "But you know what will be more fun, doing the same lovely thing to Piper."

"What do you want with Piper." Thomas slurred as he tried to get up out of the chair but fell back down. Whatever his brother injected him with seemed to be taking effect quickly. "She done nothing-to you"

"But oh dear brother she has. I've been waiting all these years to have her and now you have given me the perfect opportunity."

"Why…you don't even know her"

"Oh the contrary Thomas I have known Piper since high school. See while you were off being class president off at the private academy I was in the another lowlife nerd at Baker high. During my time there I got to know Piper Halliwell on a more personal level."

"You're the freak after her…aren't you" replying softly as his eyelids began to close.

"Why yes I am and tonight, I will have her"

"You won't get away with this" Thomas said as he fell into the induced coma. He never heard he brother laugh at him nor felt himself being lifted from the chair onto the his brother's shoulders. He also never here his brother remark as he walked up the steps.

"Oh Thomas but I will if they think that I am you, remember we look exactly enough. I mean why wouldn't we; after all we are identical twins.

Ten minutes later Geoffrey came back downstairs wearing the clothes that his brother had on earlier. He walked past the hallway mirror and straighten up his dark hair that was neatly parted to the side just like his brother had always done. He smiled as he heard the doorbell ring and ran downstairs to answer it. On the other side was the woman that he loved and the man that he despised holding dishes full of food.

"Piper, Leo" sneering as Leo's name left his lips. "Come on in."

Piper and Leo walked into the house and Geoffrey quickly closed the door.

"Sorry we're late" Leo smiled as he looked around for the kitchen. "But we made a wrong turn and ended up at the wrong place."

"And because Leo was too stubborn to ask for directions we were late getting her" Piper added, smirking at her husband.

"Oh Piper you know how us men can be when it comes to asking for directions; we don't" Geoffrey laughed as he walked in the kitchen so Piper and Leo could put the food down.

"We brought lasagna, garlic bread, and a chocolate cake. I also brought a bottle of red wine that I got from my restaurant so you know it will be one of the best wines you ever tasted." Piper laughed as she sat the food on the table. "Hope your hungry."

"I am don't worry about it. How about I get some glasses and pour us some of this delicious wine and place the food into the oven to reheat it." Geoffrey smiled as he grabbed the bottle from the bag. He had the perfect outlet to get what he wanted; Piper. "You two can take a seat in the living room and I bring it out to you."

"Well the lasagna should be reheated at 400 degrees for about ten minutes and then it will be hot enough to eat."

"Thanks, I wouldn't want to mess up the delicious mean that you took your time to create" he replied as he then grabbed the wrapped food from the table also. "Please go have a seat. You've had a hard day and it's the least that I can do."

"Okay" Leo replied as he grabbed Piper's hand and lead her out of the kitchen, both unaware of the present danger that was ahead of them.

I hope you liked the twist that I put in there. I got this idea from a movie I saw a long time ago and thought I use it in my story. Next chapter you will find out who was the mysterious person that has been trying to save Leo all along and someone gets shot.
