Leo lost in his thoughts while he was sitting gin his son's rocker chair. Wyatt and Chris slept in the two beds next to each other. The ex-elder sighed. Why always his sons? Na, what do you think? Wyatt is known as the strongest wich in the world, and Chris is nearly as powerful as he. Their bond firms their power too. This is sure for 19 years. And don't forget Amaranth. Their personal protector. He is a timeless magical being, but they haven't heard about him for a year. The last battle took all of his powers; unfortunately they needed him this time.
Chris groaned softly in his dream. Leo jumped to his feet and rushed to the bed. Behind the boys eyelids his eyes moved like he was reading. Sometimes he turned his head to side to side. Leo stood there helplessly. "Should I wake him?" he hesitantly reached out his hand, than he stopped. He thought that he couldn't wake the boy because of the spell. He sat down to the bed sighing. He waited hopingly. If there isn't injure, than everything would be okay. Right?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's a dream again…" he thought bitterly. There was white walls and bright light everywhere, where he turned. It was not a good sigh!
"It so sweet! You are visiting me this soon!" he heard the hatingly voice from somewhere. The demon's face came to his mind from the other dream. It was really bad! He looked up angrily.
"What do you want?"
"Answer my question!"
"Why my name is so important for you?"
"Say it out loud and you will know!"
"Do you think I'm and idiot? Youanswer My question! What the Hell do you want?" "It's so funny that I'm shouting with the wall!" it came to his mind, but he drove away the thought. A low laugh answered him. It annoyed him more, if it's possible.
"I can make you do that, of course it's my world!" Chris only raised an eyebrow and he prepared himself to the worst. Suddenly water started to rise from the floor. The boy waited in silence. "He want me to suffocate into water? Is this the big plan?" he asked from himself, than he said it loud too. Silence. The water only reached his ankle.
"It's not deadly." He said, than the voice from before spoke up again. "YOU ARE VERY IDIOT!!! I would bet that you won't live until tomorrow!" "SHUT UP!" he heard another laughter.
"I can be very creative! Just wait! So, will you answer?"
"No, and you?"Electricity came from the water and made the boy froan and fall into the water. There the electricity attacked him stronger. He tried to stand up panting.
"Was it familiar?"
"What?"
"You didn't recognize your own power?" "Electrolysis!" he looked at the wall. But he only could say a sarcastic comment.
"I don't use water" a very rousing laughter came as answer. He turned around very annoyed. The bright white wasn't his favorite color. He went over the happenings. The demon used the water to connect with his powers, it was sure. But if he could use his power, than he can use all of his powers. He went over his powers. He hired some powers from his father: orbing (now it's not dangerous) healing "Na, he won't use it against me!" and the lastelderly power (How ironic that he hates the elders) is the electrolysis. "NA, this hurts!" he has witch powers too: telekinesis (This can make problems) blowing up (It can make very, very big problems!) astral projecting (It's only viewpoint's question.) fortunately he isn't Wyatt, but he was in a big mess again.
"You are very silent, Witch! Or shall I call you Elder?" the sarcastic voice asked.
"Witch, if you don't mind." Chris sighed. The exhaustion attached his body again and again. But how this is possible if he was sleeping?
"Than so…"
"This place is boring! Search another!" it slipped out of Chris mouth. The demon muttered something angrily. Chris stared at the walls with wide eyes. He opened his mouth to say something, when a familiar voice interrupted. "Just stay in silence, brat!" "Amaranth!" his hope came back. "No, the Santa Claus! Of course, I am! I leave you alone only for a little time, and you get in this chaotic mess!!" "For a little time? We haven't heard a word about you for one year! We thought that you…" "Don't be foolish, Brat! I never die!" "Snooty!" the were deep in their conversation that they didn't notice the demon's yelling. Suddenly new electricity attacked his body from the water. He cried out in pain and fell to his knees. He heard Amaranth's angry growl in his mind.
"At least!" Chris looked up and his magical green eyes turned into Amaranth's deep blue eyes.
"If I can see you, I would pull you to pieces." Amaranth said though Chris. Then the blue eyes turned into jade green again. Suddenly the white walls disappeared and they were again in the old house. Before Chris could do anything, the chains appeared again and fixed him to the wall. Chris recognized the room. The pervious dream started there. He stared at the grinning demon angrily. Amaranth growled again in his mind.
"Now you can see me." Came the hatefully voice. Chris magic started to rising and he grinned tohimself. "He forget to bind my powers again." He sent it to his Protector and little lightings appeared around his fingers. "Don't be idiot, Brat!" Amaranth moaned. "What?" "Try to summon me!" "But…" "Do not argue with me! Summon me! NOW!" Chris closed his eyes and concentrated to his personal protector. He whispered his name. the demon frowned at him. Between the demon and the boy, soft light appeared and from this stepped out the timeless magical being. He looked like a wolf with two huge wings. His fur was white and his eyes were deep blue. Chris and Wyatt named this color Amaranth blue when they were little. The demon stepped back in fear until he reached the wall. Everybody in the Underworld knew as he died a year ago. The demon shimmered away, before he could attach. Amaranth looked around fury in his eyes.
"Do not move kiddo!" He said to the boy.
"If a can…" he murmured as he looked at his chains. He leaned against the wall and he and he leaned his head to it. He fought against the exhaustion again. The demon shimmered next to him suddenly and hold an athame against his throat.
"So Amaranth darling has survived everything." He laughed. Am turned around and his body strained to attach. Demon shook his head and he held the athame tightly to the boy's neck. He cut it a little bit and the boy's blood went down on his neck and made a spot on his t-shirt. Am stepped back.

The other eight left and only Piper, Leo, Wyatt and the sleeping Chris stayed at the Manor. The three of them stood near the boy's bed.
"Shouldn't we wake him up?" Wyatt asked hoping. Piper shook her head.
"I don't think he would get up. The spell won't let him."
"What kind of spell was it?"
"The goal was that he would sleep in peace!" the mother said. She sat next to Chris' pillow and tried to push his hear from his eyes but he moved away like he was awake.
"He doesn't seem to sleep in peace." Noted Leo. Piper sent him a deadly-glare. Leo shrugged. "But it's true!" Chris muttered something but non of them understood. Piper looked at the boy's neck, and in this moment the cut appeared. The boy's blood made a spot on his pillow.
"Wyatt!" she screamed. The blond boy stepped next to her and reached out his hand to heal the cut. When the golden glow appeared an other power pushed it off. Wyatt flew across the room and collided with the wall. His head met with the wall hardly and he fell unconscious onto the floor. Leo shouted his name and ran to his side. Piper called out for her youngest sister. Paige arrived immediately.
"What happened, Piper?"
"Hurry, heal him!" she pointed at Wyatt. The younger witch kneeled next to Leo and healed the blond boy. Wyatt groaned loudly and sat up, he blinked at his little bro helplessly.
"What the Hell was this?"
"I don't know" Leo said sadly.
"What happened?" Paige asked again. Piper told her everything.
"I think that the spell wasn't that good idea…" she noted. The others nodded.
"Patty and Penny are awake and they want to come around. Unfortunately I can't stay." She didn't have to explain. All of them heard the jingling from the ceiling. Piper nodded and the other witch left in orb lights. Few minutes later Patty and Penny orbed in. they hurried next to Wyatt.
"How is he?" Penny asked.
"He had better times." Wyatt muttered. He hated this whole situation from his heart. Patty looked at the faces around her.
"Don't be mad at me, Aunt Piper, but not only Chris looks awful. I think it would be good to you to go to the kitchen and make a big breakfast! You, Uncle Leo go to sleep immediately!"
"But it's noon…" Piper stammered. The she felt a strange feeling." But the I'll make a lunch!" she said than she hurried out from the room.
"I gonna sleep a little bit!" Leo yawned and left the room too.
"Thanks, Prue!" Penny said with relief. In a heart the other two cousins appeared.
"I hope that you have a good reason, because I hate when somebody mess with my parents mind." Wyatt said unhappily. He glared at Prue.
"I just calmed them down. They needed it." She answered with an angelic smile.
"Say that you has a plan!" Wyatt sighed. Sam nodded and stepped nearer to Chris' bed.
"We thought that with my ability I could go in Chris' dream and…Do NOT say anything!" he said when Wyatt opened his mouth. He closed it. "and maybe I can make Chris wake up, and if I am lucky, I would see the demon's face. I will remember everything. " Wyatt sank into his thoughts. Than he nodded hesitantly.
"But you can stuck here too."
"Whit Chris they will be stronger!" Prue said smilingly.
"YOUR brother want to get into danger!" he muttered and pointed to Sam. Prue nodded and her face became serious.
"He does that to save YOUR little bro, who is MY cousin!"
"Who is OUR cousin too!" The twins nodded. Sam looked at Wyatt questionably, who starred at his little bro's face. The boy didn't seem to be calm in his dream. His face showed pain and a big bruise appeared on his face.
"Okay, do it!" Wyatt said. Sam nodded and sat down next to Chris and grabbed his arm. He sat there for few minutes than his eyes became completely white."Like the arimon's" Patty thought bitterly. Sam felt into Prue's arms. She looked up to the others and she smiled calmly. They felt that the calmness filled their body but it couldn't make gone the fear.
