Chapter 8
A Tolan on both your houses
Episode 9.08
It was night in the city as Piper, Phoebe and Paige were standing on a rooftop of a 200 story foot building and Kara was standing by the entrance door.
"Are you sure it happened up here?" Paige asks while looking around.
"Yeah, I'm sure," Phoebe replied.
"Why can't it ever happen in a video store or something, that way at least we could pick up a movie after the vanquish," Piper said.
"Are some place with a bathroom," Paige chimed in.
"I told you to go before we left," Phoebe said and put her hands on her hips.
"I did, but apparently I'm peeing for three," Paige replied and rolled her eyes.
Phoebe burped and three little red transparent hearts came floating out of her mouth.
"What was that?" Piper said as she laughed.
"My body reacting to the junk food I just shoved down my mouth," Phoebe replied and held her stomach.
"That's ridiculous," Piper said with a snort.
"Hay I wouldn't talk Missy, you were burping blue orbs remember," Paige said.
"Don't remind me, and where is Kara?" Piper replied and looked around.
"Over there, I think she's afraid of heights," Paige answered as Kara was standing beside the closed door pressed against the exterior wall.
"Kara honey are you okay?" Phoebe asks.
"NO I think I'm afraid of heights," Kara replied with her hands outstretched on the wall.
"Yeah, we can see that just try to take deep breaths," Piper suggested.
"You know my other self has some serious issues," Kara replied while taking deep breaths in and out.
"Well just stay there and you should be safe," Paige said and the entrance door flew open hitting Kara in the head knocking her unconscious as a woman came running out.
"You were saying," Phoebe said while looking hard at Paige.
"Like I knew that was going to happen," Paige replied.
"Paige go heal her, Phoebe and I will take care of the innocent," Piper said and Phoebe runs after the woman." Stop, we are here to help you!" She yelled and threw her hands out and froze the woman.
"Thank you, I was feeling a little nauseous from the running," Phoebe said while holding her stomach.
"There you go, how are you feeling?" Paige said after healing Kara.
"Just stand over there you'll be safe," Kara replied in a mocking tone.
"Maybe I should knock you out again, because apparently you have been taken over by a smart ass," Paige said and they ran over to Piper and Phoebe near the frozen woman.
"OK, where is the demon?" Piper said.
"I'm no demon," Tolan said standing on the other side of the roof about 30 feet from them, holding a long staff with a red Crystal on its top. All four girls turn around quickly and faced him.
"Yeah because normal people stand on a rooftop at night with the big staff," Paige said as she moved closer to Piper.
"Tolan?" Kara whispered but her voice was unsure.
"Isn't that Kara's," Piper said but was cut off by Phoebe.
"Nemesis."
"You son of a bitch, you're the one going after my kids," Piper said angrily and threw her hands out and blasted him but he barely budged.
"Try again," Phoebe said as she backed up a little and Piper tried again but he did not move.
"Oh come on!" Piper said in frustration.
"And I was worried about you, being the strongest," Tolan said with a smirk and he narrowed his expression and tapped his staff on the ground. The red crystal glowed and red vapor started to form in front of him.
"Paige orb the innocent out of here," Piper said as she stood her ground.
"What about you guys?" Paige asks.
"Just make it fast," Phoebe suggested.
Paige stuck out her hand pointing it at the woman who was still frozen. "Manner!" Blue orbs went around the woman and she was gone.
"Paige why did you send her there?" Piper asks.
"Leo is home and he will know what to do."
The red vapor started transforming into three creatures that looked like something from the movie aliens.
"Get behind me!" Piper yelled as the creatures started to approach. Piper threw out her hands and blew up the middle one. Phoebe produced her bow and shot it at the one on the left and it went up in flames.
"MOON!" Paige yelled and the last creature was orbed away.
"Moon?" Piper asks with a tilt to her head.
"Thought I'd try something different," Paige replied proudly.
Tolan slammed his staff on the ground again in the vapor formed five of the creatures. Piper started to raise her hand again to blast and Tolan slammed his staff again. Piper saw Paige being hit by a round object, and was thrown back hitting her head on the short wall that was at the end of the rooftop.
"Paige!" Piper yelled and looked back at the creatures and started blasting, she was able to take out three of them and Phoebe took out one. But the last one hit Phoebe lifting her off the ground to the edge of the roof top. "Phoebe!" She screamed and blasted the creature and Phoebe went over the edge screaming. "NO!" She yelled and ran to the edge of the roof and saw Phoebe falling.
"Witches are so easy," Tolan said while approaching Piper. She turned around with tears in her eyes, and then saw Kara running past her jumping off the roof.
"Kara! Piper screamed and threw out her hands and started blasting Tolan, this time he was pushed back about 5 feet.
"Looks like the more emotional you are the stronger you are, I will keep that noted," Tolan said getting to his feet as Phoebe was falling fast.
"PAIGE! COOP!" Piper's panicked voice screamed out again.
Kara had her arms to her side trying to gain speed to catch up to her. "Griffin God please turn me into a Griffin!" She pleaded but changed into a Geico," Dammit no." Then she changed into a Griffin," Thank god." She said and finally caught up with Phoebe and using her claws grabbed Phoebe around the waist gently, right before she hit the ground. With a hard turn upwards both Kara and Phoebe were going straight up against the building.
"You bastard!" Piper's crying voice whimpered out.
"All alone, now we can talk, I just give me the boy," Tolan demanded.
"What! I'm not giving you my son," Piper replied through sobs.
"It's not like I'm asking for the firstborn."
"Chris?" Piper asks as she was back all the way up to the edge.
"Yes Chris."
"NO!"
"Well with all three of you out of the way it will be a little easier."
Phoebe could see her reflection in the windows glass of the building as she was being carried. "A Griffin, how cool," She said as she was now high enough to see the scene below her. Piper was against the edge and Tolan was about to slam his staff. "Kara we need to get down now!"
"OK, but I can't guarantee a soft landing."
"It doesn't matter just hurry," Phoebe replied and conjured a bow and fired three arrows at Tolan. The arrows turned into phoenixes and headed right for Tolan at a fast pace.
"Here we go," Kara said and found a clear spot and started making herself more stern and using her wings to slow them down. She dropped Phoebe and she did a barrel row close to Tolan. Kara landed hard on the asphalt roof skidding and sliding to the half wall.
"Ouch, Piper get away from there," Phoebe said after she stopped sliding.
Piper saw Phoebe and smiled wide," Thank god."
"What did I miss?" Paige said as she stood up while holding her head.
Tolan saw the phoenixes heading right for him. All of them hit him at the same time and he started going into flames and slammed his staff and a wall of water put him out along with the phoenixes. He then started to heal.
"You have to be kidding me, he is self-healing too," Piper said throwing her arms in the air.
"Nice little thing I picked up from your world," Tolan replied.
Kara got up slowly and transformed into a panther, and with a growl started running towards Tolan.
"All at once, now!" Piper ordered and threw her hands out and started blasting him stepping forward as she did so. Paige orbed objects at him and Phoebe shot arrows at him. Tolan tried to use his staff but every time he tried Piper blasted him knocking him back but he was able to produce a few things. Like a brick wall to stop the arrows and objects being thrown at him.
"Blast the staff!" Paige said.
Piper looked at Paige and then back to Tolan and did as she was asked. But the crystal glowed bright red and a red Shield appeared around, blocking Piper's blast." Dammit Paige try to orb it."
"Staff!" Paige tried but the staff did not budge.
"OK, I'm out of ideas," Piper said while backing up.
"Keep blasting him, he is wearing down," Phoebe said.
Kara leapt at him sinking her teeth and claws into his back. Tolan let out a scream and tried to shake her off.
"Kara be careful!" Paige said concerned and then pulled Piper's arms down. "Kara is too close you could hit her."
Tolan finally shook her off and gave Paige and Piper a final look before evaporating.
"Is it over?" Phoebe asks while breathing hard and Coop harted in next to Phoebe.
"Are you Ok I tried to get to you earlier but I was being blocked by something, and couldn't hart in," Coop asks while holding her.
"What could be blocking you?" Phoebe asks.
"I don't know."
Phoebe grabbed her stomach and put her hand over her mouth." Oh, God I'm going to get sick." She said and ran behind a wall and vomits.
"It's okay honey, I got you," Coop said softly and held her hair back. Coop could see she had some bruises and scratches on her. "Paige! We need you over here."
Paige and Piper with Kara ran over to Phoebe. Paige healed her and Kara, who also had a large gash in her arm in some bumps and scratches. "Paige go to the elders and have them heal you, right now," Piper instructed.
"No, I'm Ok."
"My two nieces are in there so go now!"
"Ok-Ok I'm going," Paige replied and orbed away.
"Everyone Ok?" Piper asks.
"Yap, Kara that was amazing thank you so much," Phoebe said as she wiped her mouth with her sleeve.
"Well on the bright side I don't think I'm afraid of heights anymore," Kara replied with a smile.
"Well let's get home," Piper said and they all harted out.
Leo was sitting with the woman who now looked calm.
"Wow I expected her to scream or something when she saw us," Paige said.
"Oh, that husband of mine, he is a miracle worker," Piper said and walked over to him.
"Well I think we put a good hurt on him, so hopefully he won't come back anytime soon," Phoebe said.
"Did you get the demon?" Leo asks.
"No, well yes kind of," Phoebe answered.
"What?"
"We ran into Tolan," Piper replied.
"What?" Leo asks nervously.
"It's Ok-It's Ok, we held him off but we found out who he is after," Piper replied.
"Kara right and maybe Wyatt?"
"No, Chris," Paige correct.
"Why Chris?"
"We don't know honey, are the boys still at magic school?" Phoebe asks.
"Yeah but I think they should stay the night there," Leo replied.
"Ok that should help Kara out; I don't think she has had a good night sleep for awhile," Piper said.
"Like I can ever sleep soundly again after that. He almost kicked are ass and he didn't even get hurt," Kara said while eating some chips.
"I know but he did get tired," Piper said.
"So he will take a nap and then kill us later," Paige chimed in.
"Leo could you get the boy's so they can get some things and take it back with them. But I don't want them here for more than 20 minutes, Ok?" Piper asks.
"Ok, I'll be back soon," Leo answered and orbed out.
"Piper is he an elder again, because if he is I will kick their ass?" Phoebe asks.
"No, they just let him orb back and forth to school. And trust me if they ever made him an elder again there is going to be a lot of thunder in the heavens, because I'm going to be blowing them up."
"I don't think you can vanquish the elders Piper," Paige said.
"Oh, I think she would try," Phoebe said while sitting on the couch." God I'm exhausted."
"You know I'm getting a little paranoid about what other kind of phobias I have," Kara said.
The woman was sitting across from them smiling." Why is she just smiling at us?" Phoebe whispered.
"Maybe he performed one to many miracles," Paige replied.
Piper rolled her eyes," Paige."
"I'm just saying I've seen that look on you a couple of times."
"OK ewe Paige," Phoebe said and wrinkled her face.
"I just want to say thank you for saving my life and everything else you do," The woman said.
"She speaks." Piper said.
"Piper and your welcome. You know about keeping are secret right?" Phoebe asks.
"Absolutely, well I see you guys are tired so I will go home and again thank you," The woman replied and gets up to leave.
"Honey do you need a cab?" Phoebe asks.
"Leo called for one and it looks like he is here. God bless you and be safe," She replied and leaves the living room and out the front door.
"You know that was kind of nice," Paige said.
"Yeah it was, it's been awhile sense we saved an innocent," Phoebe said.
"Well let's hope its awhile more, I need to get the stuff ready for the boys," Piper said and headed for the stairs.
"I mean, what if I afraid of like, dirt?" Kara said still eating her chips.
"They're not going to sleep by themselves are they?" Phoebe asks.
"No, Leo and I are going to take turns."
"I'm too tired to call for Coop, you do it."
"Are you kidding, I don't think I can orb right now," Paige replied.
"I could be afraid off people who ignore me," Kara said while staring at Paige and Phoebe.
"No honey that's not a phobia that just being narcissus," Phoebe replied.
"We know narcissus," Paige said.
"We know narcissus very well," Phoebe chimed in as Coop harts in.
"Somebody ready for bed?" Coop asks.
"Hi honey and yes just hart right to the bed please," Phoebe replied and she took his hands into hers." Love you guys," She said and they harted away.
"Love you too, goodnight Piper and love you," Paige said and orbed away.
"Love you, and it would be nice it you waited for me to say it back before ording away," Piper replied with a snort.
"I heard that," Paige said and Piper looked up at the ceiling with a smile.
In the underworld Tolan appears and walks over to the mirror where a sink came out of the wall." They are really vexing me." He said while looking into a mirror. It flashes and instead of Tolan's reflection staring back at him it is someone else's.
"You almost ruined everything," The reflection said.
"What are you talking about, and by the way what is it with you guys living in caves like Neanderthals? Tolan said while washing his hands.
"You almost killed them."
"Isn't that the point?"
"No, I need the family to stay alive I just need the boy killed."
"I might have your memories but I do not have your will opposed upon me."
"Maybe this will remind you of what I can oppose upon you," reflection said.
"Stop!" Tolan said and grabbed his head.
"You're right I may just be a memory but it seems I have a few powers of my own."
Tolan stopped grabbing his head and started walking away to the other side of the room." The boy is either at magic school or with Kara."
"I can help you get to magic school; it would just take some time to get the necessary ingredients for the potion."
"Fine, but I get Kara."
"You can have her, and after Chris is dead your mind will be free from me."
"You know from what I can tell the family is very close, and I'm a little shocked that Chris's big brother wants to kill him," Tolan said and the mirror now becomes in view. Future evil Wyatt staring back at Tolan.
"He ruins everything, he traveled back in time to keep me from turning evil," Wyatt said.
"Evil, god this world is so black and white."
"Not after I take it over, then it's about power just like Alda."
"Well that's at least one thing we have in common. But we may have a problem prodigy boy even after this is all said and done, I may just stay around for a while."
"It will be your funeral along with my parents."
"I have to say you will be an interesting foe, something to look forward to after Kara is dead."
"Until then rest well, tomorrow we finish this."
"I do not have the amount of crystals that I hoped for."
"Why not?" Wyatt asks.
"Seth and Ileru found the portal and destroyed about 80% of them."
"It does not matter you should have enough for the assault, just use upper level demons."
"Going to them is suicide; you said something about a magical cage that will block their powers."
"Yes and tomorrow I will give you the schematics for it."
"That should bring the boys if their whole family is captured and Kara along with them."
"That is the plan. But first we need to wear them down."
"It is hard to project into Phoebe's mind; I can only give her flashes."
"That should be enough she has never walked away from a premonition, so regardless of how vague it may be she would try to save an innocent no matter what."
"So you want me to keep sending images?" Tolan asks.
"Yes and then make sure that there are strong enough demons to handle them, at least enough to wear them out."
"Since I can't kill your parents just yet, I will find great pleasure in telling them the future they saw together, was a false projection."
"Yes that will be pleasurable even for me. But remember they cannot be killed yet some things must play out."
"Agreed," Tolan replied and walks away from the mirror and the image changes to reflect the room.
Flash forward:
Manner Attic 2025 day
Future Chris runs through the time portal he just created after tearing a page out of the book of shadows. Future evil Wyatt throws an energy ball at the portal. The energy ball splits in two and goes through another portal were Kara and Tolan are fighting, they are both hit with the energy balls and are sucked through the portal.
End of flash forward:
New flashback: 2008
Kara wakes up in a Hospital room." Where the hell am I?"
"You are in the Hospital, someone found you on the side of the rode and you were unconscious. Do you know who you are; we could not find any identification on you?" Dr Jones asks.
"Om No I don't is that bad?"
"You hit your head and you might have amnesia."
"That's bad."
"Your memory should start coming back in bits, until then what name would you like to be called?"
"Kara I guess."
Tolan is walking down the street looking at his surroundings. He passes a window and stopped to look at his reflection. Future Wyatt starts to appear over Tolan's reflection.
"Who the hell are you?" Tolan asks.
"I don't know how this happened but we need to talk someplace private," Wyatt replied with a grin.
End of flashback:
Back at the manner Piper is in Chris's and Wyatt's bedroom when Leo and the boys orb in.
"Hay buddies," Piper said.
"Mom you should see are rooms, they are so cool," Wyatt said.
"Mine looks like a planet and there are stars on the ceiling that blink on and off" Chris said.
"Wow, that does sound cool and I'm glad you like it peanut."
"Mine looks like a castle, I have a drawbridge that goes to my room and there are dragon statues on the top of towers," Wyatt said excited.
"Dragons," Piper said with a snort.
"Piper, it will be fine," Leo said kissing her on the cheek.
"Well don't let Paige touch them."
"Okay guys, start getting your stuff together," Leo said and both Wyatt and Chris grab backpacks and start grabbing some clothes.
"Honey, try to keep them nice and neat okay," Piper said while helping Chris.
"I can do it mommy," Chris said as he pushed his clothes in a bag.
"I just want you to be able to find what you need."
"I can do it mommy, I'm 4 now."
Piper backs away and lets Chris put five T-shirts and one pair of pants in his bag. She shakes her head. "I will pack a bag for them later," She whispers to Leo.
"Good idea, I will stay with them tonight just make sure you are here with Kara," Leo said.
"I will and it will be fine," Piper replied and left the boys room.
"Is she downstairs?" Leo asks following her.
"Yeah, she's watching TV I think falling asleep."
"You know I have to say I think I'm starting to like her."
Piper stops on the stairs lifting one eyebrow up." If you're getting any ideas in your head Mr. Kick them out now."
"What are you talking about?"
Piper continued her walk down the steps and into the living room where Kara was half asleep holding the remote. "Never mind."
"Oh, I think I just got it," Leo replied with a smile.
"Kara," Piper said and Kara woke up groggily.
"Cocoa puffs chocolate nuts," Kara said but it was barely audible.
"What?" Piper asks.
"What happened, what's going on?"
"Nothing you're fine." Leo said and patted her shoulder.
"Hey you want to sleep in the boys room tonight, it will probably be more comfortable than the couch?" Piper asks.
"Let me see, stay in the room that everyone is targeting or sleep somewhere that they're not. I'll stay right here," Kara replied and patted the couch.
"Okay well the boys are getting their things together, so if you want to go say good night to them," Piper said.
"You know it would be nice if you guys kept some kind of a schedule," Kara replied as she stretching and leaves the room.
"Yeah, tell me about it," Leo said while hugging Piper.
"I need to go check the laundry and make sure there is nothing in there they want," Piper said while rubbing her nose against his.
Upstairs in Wyatt's and Chris's bedroom Kara walks into the room and the boys are overfilling their bags. "I think you can fit the kitchen sink in there," She said while looking at the overstuffed bags.
"Hi Kara, you should see our new rooms," Chris said.
"Right now I want to see my inner eyelids."
"What Kara?" Chris asks confused.
"Nothing," Kara replied and looks at Chris's bag and notices a pair of SpongeBob Square pants pajamas.
"Could you help me close this?" Chris asks while struggling with the zipper.
"Hay I think I have a pair of pajamas just like that," Kara said and pulled out the SpongeBob attire.
"No you don't, these are for kids," Chris said.
"I beg to differ, hold on," Kara replied and left the room.
"Wyatt if you want to sleep in my room sometimes you can?"
"Thanks Chris you can sleep in mind too if you want," Wyatt answered as Chris puts some toys in his already overstuffed bag.
"I need a bigger bag," Chris grunted.
"Me too."
Kara walks back in wearing her SpongeBob SquarePants pajamas with matching slippers." Check it out Chris." She said and spun around.
"Look Wyatt," Chris said while clapping his hands.
"Kara you look funny," Wyatt said laughing.
"No she doesn't," Chris chimed in.
Piper yelled from downstairs to the boys to hurry up.
"Hay put yours on and we can show off are amazing taste in pajamas," Kara said and Chris grabs his and Kara helps him put them on and they match completely.
"Come on Kara, Wyatt lets show mommy," Chris said and they headed downstairs.
"Talk about Mini me," Kara replied while shaking her head a little.
Kara and the boys enter the living room. Piper looks at Chris
Then Kara and begins to laugh.
"I can't believe you have the same pajamas as my son," Piper said with a small laugh.
"Wait there's more," Kara said and stepped on one of her slippers. "I'm going around town" Kara moved her arms out and into a circle while moving her hips in the opposite direction. Chris laughed and looked at her slippers.
"Mommy can I some like those?" Chris asks.
"Sure peanut but we need to get you guys to magic school okay," Piper replied.
"Thanks mommy. Wait I need lanky," Chris said concerned and then it orbs into his hands. "Thanks Wyatt."
"You're welcome."
"Okay guys give mommy a kiss and hug we have to go," Leo said and picked up Chris and his bag.
Wyatt puts his arms out and Piper gives him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you," Piper said.
"Me next," Chris asks.
Piper stands up and gives Chris a kiss and a hug." Love you peanut," She said with watering eyes and then Chris takes his little hand and wipes away a tear.
"We're just going to magic school mommy, don't cry. I love you too."
"I know - I know, I just already miss you two," Piper said.
"I love you mommy," Wyatt said.
"Ready guys?" Leo asks.
"Wait," Chris said and squirms out of Leo's arms and he runs over to Kara and gives her a hug.
"Thanks Chris, have fun up there," Kara said but felt a little awkward.
"I love you Kara," Chris said.
Kara turns away a little because she started to tear up. "I love you too Chris, thanks so much."
"Yeah your really fun Kara, will you come up and play with us sometimes," Wyatt said and hugged her leg.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world, but you guys should go it's too dangerous for you to be here right now."
Leo picks up Chris again and grabs Wyatt's hand and they orb out. Piper whispered I love you to Leo and he said it back.
"You know you're really great with kids," Piper said.
"Kind of odd though, I really don't like kids, I think," Kara replied.
"Well they love you."
"Well that's because I can turn into animals and they can ride on me."
"You should think about having some."
"No, I can always give yours back," Kara replied and headed for the kitchen.
"Its 1:30 in the morning don't tell me you're getting something to eat?"
"Always," Kara replied and stubbed her toe on the kitchen door frame. Her slippers turned on and "I'm ready -I'm ready - I'm ready rang through the house.
"I'm so not getting those for him," Piper said with a laugh.
The next day in the source's chamber Tolan is standing in front of the mirror.
"I have the ingredients you wanted now how do we make the potion that will get us to magic school?" Tolan asks.
"In time, we need to capture the family first, have you been sending images to Phoebe?"
"Yes, but it will take at least 24 hours for them to sink in."
"Good get everyone ready and don't screw this up."
"Don't worry I waited a year or so, I think I can wait till the end till tomorrow."
"The potion will get you to magic school, but there might be some safeguards put into place," Wyatt said.
"I can get around them I plan on bringing some shadow dells with me."
"I don't think it's a good idea."
"Why, they are immune to magic?"
"Because they're unpredictable and they don't follow orders."
"I know that very well, but I have something they want."
"Oh that's right the elixir that would turn them into Alda again."
"Right and they want that more than anything," Tolan said.
"Do they know you can't freeze them anymore?"
"No, and I need to stay that way. If they ever found out he would kill me and take the elixir."
"So let me get this straight, you lost some of your weaver abilities when you first got here, and Kara picked some of it up."
"I was able to freeze people for about two months. Which worked out considering I needed to freeze Coop when the demon took his ring?"
"It's a little fuzzy for me I think my memory was starting to mix with yours at that time. What did you do exactly?"
"I froze Coop and the demon and added some elixir that we use in our crystals, and put the crystal on his ring. That is how they got the false projection of the future."
"I have to admit it was brilliant and very sinister," Wyatt said.
"Two things I'm very good at."
"Don't get arrogant; it will be your downfall."
"And you're not, twice blessed child."
"I keep it under control."
"Yeah but you still lost didn't you?"
"Not this time, this time my destiny will be as it should be."
Tolan walks away from the mirror and starts getting the ingredients ready.
In the morning Phoebe was in the kitchen with Coop drinking some coffee and eating some toast.
"I feel so much better," Phoebe said.
"Yeah you actually kept some food down this morning, at least so far."
"Well at least toast isn't that bad to throw up," Phoebe said when the doorbell rings and she leaves the kitchen to go answer it." God please don't be a demon, I'm not awake yet."
"I hope I'm not too early?" Darryl said as he walked into the living room.
"No, its okay Darryl you know you're welcome here anytime but I thought you moved away?" Phoebe asks.
"I did I'm here visiting friends but I heard about Dan."
"Did you find him?"
"No, and his family has filed a missing person report."
"Oh god, that's not good."
"I know that he was last at the manner. Does anyone else know that beside you guys?"
"No, I don't think so."
"Then you should be ok, but they may start asking you questions."
"Who?"
"The detectives on the case."
"Well we would just tell them that Piper saw him last at the grocery store."
"That should be okay, was there a scuffle or anything else while they were together."
"No, not at the grocery store just at the house."
"If you have anything of Dan's there I suggest you get rid of it."
"Okay, thanks Darryl you know for everything."
"It's no problem, but I'm trying to avoid the manner in case any Detectives are staking it out."
"Oh no, I need to call Piper and tell her."
"I already did, how are things going with you guys anyway."
"Oh, you know a really bad demon that we can't seem to kill is after Chris."
"Why?"
"We don't know yet."
"Well I need to get going, just try to be careful you know using your gifts," He said while leaving the house.
"We will thank you Darryl."
Paige is standing in front of the drawbridge to Wyatt's room up at Magic school.
"This is so cool," Paige said while looking around.
"Yeah, I would've loved to have this when I was a kid," Leo said.
"Who wouldn't," Paige said and walks over to a couch that set by the door and sits down.
"You okay Paige?" Leo asks.
"Yeah, I'm just worried about my orbing. I'm afraid a body part is going to end up on a non- witch."
"I don't think that will happen."
"Why do you say that?"
"I think it is a kind of astral projection, but I'm not sure."
"How is that possible?"
"Well you might be able to swap bodies with people."
"But I can kind of do that now."
"No you just change places. I think you will be able to swap and maybe be able to use their powers."
"And you know this how?"
"I am a teacher here remember and there is a lot of books."
"Right, is there one that talks about it?"
"Yeah I will pick some up after class today."
"Thanks Leo, and could I ask you something else?"
"Sure."
"How did Piper get over her fear of losing her baby when she was pregnant with Wyatt. I know she used a spell but after that, she still had to be a little afraid?"
"I don't think she ever has, you know the fear of losing a child never goes away Paige no matter how old they get."
"Well that sucks."
"Just know that you are very powerful with 2 very powerful sisters, who will not let anything happen if they can help it."
"I know I just wish I would get a Magical force field like Piper did."
"Yeah me too."
Chris and Wyatt came out of their rooms and see Paige.
"Aunt Paige," Wyatt said while running to her.
"Hi Wyatt."
"Hi Aunt Paige come and see my room," Chris said running next to Wyatt.
"OK Chris, I'm coming."
"Then you can see mine," Wyatt said.
"That sounds great Wyatt, I can't wait."
"Mommy said you're not allowed to touch the dragons," Wyatt said.
"She did, did she," Paige replied with a laugh as she is now in front of Chris's, and walks into his room.
"Look at the ceiling Aunt Paige," Chris said while pointing up.
"Wow it looks like the night sky but a lot less smog."
"Yeah, hold lanky."
"OK, but what if I don't give it back?"
Chris looks at her a little confused and saddened. "Why - why wouldn't you give lanky back?"
"I'm just kidding Chris."
"OK, because I can't sleep without lanky."
"I know honey; I used to have a blanket to when I was your age."
"What did you call it?" Chris asks.
"A compulsive disorder," Paige replied with a smile.
"Paige," Leo said.
"I'm just kidding again, I called it Mr. Fluff."
"Mr. Fluff?" Leo asks.
"It was really soft."
"That's a silly name, I like lanky," Chris said.
"I like Mr. Fluff," Wyatt chimed in.
"Well I like the name lanky too, and thanks Wyatt," Paige said while giving a wink to him.
"I need to get to class, and we have a baby-sitter coming. Do you mind watching them until she gets here?" Leo asks.
"Not at all, I have no life."
"Paige you do too and thanks."
"No problem, I'll just scope out the rooms."
Leo leaves and Paige walks around Chris's room looking at the bed that looks like the space shuttle in complete detail. The walls look like the surface of Mars and there were planets hanging from the ceiling that seem to float without wires.
"Did you have a room like this Aunt Paige?" Chris asks.
"Nope, I just had 80s rock bands posters hanging about."
"What are 80s rock bands?"
"Reminder of my age and how I'm showing it."
"What Aunt Paige," Wyatt asks confused.
"I can tell I will communicate with my children well."
"Your silly," Chris said and jumped on his bed." Kara said she was going to come up and play with us."
"That would be great, do you guys like her?"
"Yeah she's really cool, and she has the same pajamas as Chris," Wyatt said.
"Why does that not shock me."
"Come and see my room now," Wyatt asks.
"Ok."
Paige and the boys orb into Wyatt's room. Paige looks at the oversized bed that looks like something from a kings Chambers. There were 4 towers with stares of dragons that stood 10 feet tall. The ceiling had writing on it that change periodically telling short stories of King Arthur.
"Yap, that won't go to anyone's head," Paige said while looking around.
"Do you like it?" Wyatt asks and sits on his bed after climbing some steps to get into it, and started kicking his feet over the edge.
"I love it Wyatt."
"Thanks and you can stay here anytime you want."
Chris walks over to a corner where a bunch of toys were sitting. "Wyatt can I play with this?"
"Sure Chris but put it back okay; you know how mom gets with messes."
"Yeah I don't miss that especially when I lived in the manner. Aren't you going to clean your room, when are you going to clean your room, pick that up, don't put that there. She blew up my favorite chair," Paige said and made a fake sad face.
"That's okay she used to blow up daddy," Wyatt said.
"Mommy hasn't blown up any furniture lately," Chris said while pushing a car on the floor.
"That's a good thing it was starting to get expensive."
The baby-sitter walks into the room." There you boys are," Ms. Kramer said and both boys said hi.
"Hi Wyatt, love your room."
"They're not spoiled it all," Paige said.
"No not at all, Let's get you guys dressed, your mother sent up some clothes, you know to replace all the toys you put in your bag" Ms. Kramer replied. Chris put the toy car back and ran out the door.
Paige started to leave the room and almost put her hand on one of the statues. "Aunt Paige! Mommy said you shouldn't touch those," Wyatt said.
"It's like being at the manner, don't touch that, put that back, when are you going to clean your room. I'll see you in a few minutes Wyatt, I need to go find a book," Paige said and pulled her hand back. "I love you guys."
Somewhere in magic school, Tolan comes through his arch holding an empty potion bottle in his hand and smiles wide.
