Episode 1: Losing Sight
Part 1
"Chris!" Phoebe yelled searching the park for any sign of her nephew, "Chris! Chris this is not funny, come out now... I'll give you a dollar? Do you want a dollar? Chris!"
"I'll give you a dollar?" Piper repeated slowly.
"Trying to bribe him into not hiding," Phoebe explained as if it were obvious.
"He just got $50 in birthday card money, a dollar is nothing," Piper pointed out irritably, "besides I don't think he just wandered off."
"You said he was upset about not having friends, maybe he just wanted to be alone," Phoebe offered.
"You said that half an hour ago and we still haven't found him," Piper complained, her worry seeping into her voice, "he wouldn't disappear for this long, he knows we'd worry... Something bad has happened to him I know it. I feel it."
Phoebe opened her mouth to reply only to be interrupted by the tell tale sound of orbing, their heads swiveled hopefully in unison at the swirling blue orbs which promptly became their sister. Paige, who was a red head again with a face that betrayed her anxious mood.
"Checked the manor, our home, Phoebe's home, Victor's, Billie's, his school, magic school, hell even the Golden Gate Bridge but no sign of Chris anywhere," Paige told them guiltily, "sorry guys, I think we are looking at the D word."
"Hey," Coop greeted them and Phoebe nearly jumped as her husband came up behind them carrying a little girl who was not one of theirs, "I think I may have found something, Cindy tell them what you told me, they're the monster hunters."
"A monster tried to take me," the girl whimpered and sniffed, her little face already stained with tears, "I was playing hide and seek with my mommy when the monster tried to take me and it was really scary and then this boy came and waved his hand and magicked me away from the monsters, so I ran away."
"Was the boy wearing a red shirt?" Phoebe asked gently feeling the fear emanating from the little girl as she nodded into Coop's shoulder.
"Okay how about the monsters, what did they look like?" Piper asked desperately.
"Like monsters," Cindy offered unhelpfully, "can we go find my mommy now?"
"Of course we can sweetie, I'll help," Paige told her before turning back to her sisters, "see if you can get a premonition off of anything Pheebs, sorry maternity leave is over."
"Haha very funny," Phoebe muttered sarcastically.
"And get the kids out of here," Piper added, "take them to magic school so they're safe, it doesn't sound like they were targeting Chris specifically but just to be safe. And call Billie, have her check the book and we'll meet her there and exchange info."
"Billie's at work, that's why she couldn't make the party," Paige pointed out.
"Well I think my son being abducted by demons kind of counts as an emergency," Piper snapped grabbing Phoebe's arm and pulling her away, "come on, let's go premonition hunting."
"Wakey wakey witchy boy," a voice taunted.
Chris groggily opened his eyes, wincing at the thumping pain in the back of his head as he slowly sat up and saw he was no longer in the park. The tunnel was too square and too gray for the underworld and the stench clogging his nostrils was vile. Then he noticed the demon standing in front of him, its head cocked to one side as it studied him with its whirling eyeballs.
Instantly he reached out his hand in readiness to telekinetically fling his foe aside but was stopped and hands roughly yanked his arms behind his back. He concentrated on orbing only to have the demon behind him drag him back and haul him to his feet, digging its nails or claws painfully into his wrist to stop him from getting away.
"Just take his eyesight before he tries something else you fool!" the second voice barked from behind him as he began struggling to break free, "we have no idea what kind of powers he has."
"You better let me go or I will kill you," Chris told them as threateningly as he could, "and even if you do kill my me, my mom is one of the Charmed Ones and they will make you wish you had never been born. Or hatched. Or spawned. Or whatever happens to demons."
"I fear no witch," the first demon spat.
It stretched out its arm to just before Chris' eyes and started showering him with bright blue sparks, like miniature lightning bolts and he found himself unable to tear his eyes away, even as the pain started. His eyes started to feel hot, hotter and hotter with such an intense agonizing heat he felt as though his eyes were on fire. He screamed as his eyes burned and started struggling more violently against his captor, finally succeeding in throwing himself to one side and closing his eyes.
He shuffled backwards into a wall and clutched at his eyes, the pain was less but still there. He tried to ignore it, focusing his attention on getting away as he opened his eyes to look for an exit only to find everything was suddenly pitch black. He blinked a few times and then a few more times but everything remained dark.
"Why can't I see? What happened? What did you do to me?" Chris demanded hoping he didn't sound as afraid as he felt.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" the second voice sneered from nearby.
"See anything yet?" Piper questioned impatiently.
"Not yet," Phoebe told her sister, again.
"We should just head back to the manor, scry for Chris, go through the book," Piper rambled on, "I don't think you're getting a premonition anytime soon."
"It's not from lack of trying," Phoebe pointed out sadly, "I want to find him just as much as you do."
"I know Phoebe, I just... I can't lose him again," Piper whispered, "and this is my fault, if I had just been paying more attention to him then maybe he'd be okay. I'm his mom, I'm supposed to protect him, why can I never protect him?"
"Oh honey, you can't blame yourself, it is not your fault," Phoebe offered gently going over to hug her sister, "you hear me?"
"And what was he thinking running off to fight demons like that anyway?"
"He was probably thinking about saving that little girl," Phoebe said quietly, "its what any of us would have done, he's a good person, you raised him to be a good person."
"He's nine years old Phoebe," Piper sighed, "I just want him to be safe."
"And he will be safe once we find him and you can blow the crap put of those bastards who took him."
"If he's even still alive," Piper muttered as Phoebe moved away to lean against a nearby tree.
"Of course he's still alive, he's too smart and-"
She was cut off by a sudden premonition intruding, she saw a glimpse of Chris before everything changed. She was standing in the heart of devastation, the rubble and ruins of San Fransisco surrounded her, the smell of smoke was so strong it seemed to choke her as she saw fire burning everywhere and balls of flaming rock cascading though the air and smashing onto the ground beside her.
The force of the collision sent shock waves through the earth, with enough force to not only throw her off her feet but to sent fragments of earth hurtling through the smoke clogged air as cracks appeared in the ground spreading across the thin crust of rock and starting to fall, fall away into a vacuum of red hot magma rising from beneath her very feet. She started to run, desperately running away as the ground gave way, she screamed despite herself as she tripped and started to fall, plunging into the crimson sea of red hot death.
"Stop this Phoebe."
Phoebe screamed and fell to her knees on the grass shaking violently, she was back in the present in the park. The sun was still shining, the sky was still blue, she could smell again the scent of the freshly cut grass as Piper knelt beside her.
"Phoebe what's wrong?" Piper asked gently wrapping her arm comfortingly around her younger sister.
"I... don't know," Phoebe answered slowly, "but its bad."
Note: If anyone knows/has any ideas on Billie's career path please, please tell me, thanks
