Phoebe was bent over the table with a notepad in front of her and a pen in her hand, the other one tangled in her hair. She groaned in frustration, tore the paper apart and scrunched it before throwing it in the large pile on the table.
Prue was pacing the length of the attic, racking her brains to find a way to find her missing son when an explosion halted her. She turned towards Piper who was standing behind the potion pot, "Piper, we're trying to summon him, not blow him up" Prue stated and Piper chuckled.
"We tried basically everything we could think, and nothing worked. Not even a crystal dipped in your blood or all of ours, maybe if we aim to blow him up it might just summon him" Paige quipped, and Prue smiled.
"He's blocking every single spell we cast, even the power of three ones" Phoebe grumbled.
"This time we'll try a combination of all; spell, blood and potion" Paige said defiantly.
"Maybe we should try using Andie's blood" Phoebe suggested.
"I don't even know where to begin to explain this to her" Prue grumbled.
"Good point"
Suddenly Prue doubled over in pain, Phoebe and Paige immediately dropped whatever was in their hands and rushed to her aide, "What's wrong?" Piper inquired as she too left the potion and rushed to Prue's aide.
"Chris" Prue was able to groan past her clenched teeth. The pain was unbearable and she knew that her son needed her, she just had no idea where he was.
All three looked at her in confusion, before Paige caught on, "he's hurt?" Paige inquired, and at Prue's muffled scream, she got her answer.
"Cast the to call a lost witch spell" she hissed from the pain.
They all started reciting the spell without another word, with Prue barely able to keep up. None of them noticed Andie as she approached the attic door, and stood there quietly watching the scene unfold.
As soon as the last word of the spell left the sisters' mouths, Chris materialized before them, except he wasn't alone. As soon as the figures became corporeal, the sisters realized that it wasn't just Chris they summoned, he had company. And unwanted company as it seemed. She was a woman in her twenties, dressed in black leather, and she had her hand inside Chris's chest.
Anger bubbled up within Prue, and before the demon could react, she found herself airborne and straight into the wall. Chris fell to her knees next to her now moaning and sweating son, while Piper tried to either blast or freeze the demon, she still hadn't decided which, but nothing was working. The demon got to her feet and in a blink of an eye, she had an athame pressed against Piper's neck.
"Let me take him, and I'll let her live" she demanded.
Before either of the sisters were able to say anything, the athame disappeared from her hand, "What the..." no one had ever been able to out do her, except for one, "Andie" she sneered, as she turned towards the door.
Prue looked up from her son's unconscious form at the mention of her daughter's name, and all three sisters whipped their heads towards the door. Four hearts sunk at the sight of the three year old standing defiantly at the door, glaring daggers at the demon.
Before either of the adults could react, the demon sent a fireball hurling towards Andie. Prue immediately waved her hand and the fireball changed trajectory, at the same time, Andie waved hers and the demon exploded.
"Chris" Andie cried, as she ran into the attic.
"Mommy" she whimpered, when Chris didn't reply.
Prue used her free arm to pull Andie into her arms, "it's okay baby" she soothed.
"DAD" she screamed, and before the last D left her mouth, Leo materialized before them. He had gone up to the elders to explain the situation with Chris and ask for their help in finding him. He fell to his knees as soon as his eyes landed on the sight. He immediately started hovering his hand over the fist-sized wound the demon had left, and to their relief it started fading away.
Once the light faded, Leo removed his hand and waited anxiously for any sign of movement from Chris.
"Chris" Prue called gently. A few seconds passed by, but to Prue they were hours. Finally Chris started to groan, and they all released the breaths they had been holding.
His eyes fluttered open, and Prue released a sound that was half laugh, half sob. He looked around and saw his entire family, surrounding him and they all looked worried as hell. He didn't know if he should be happy, or angry. He pulled himself up to his feet, with Leo's help and Paige helped Prue off the floor. He took a few steps away from the small group, and rubbed his face a few times.
"Thanks Leo" he said sincerely.
"No problem, but what the hell was that? It was eating you up, draining you from all of you energy" he asked.
"That explains why the summoning spell worked" Phoebe chimed in.
"He didn't have the energy to block us anymore" Paige added.
"Who was she?" Prue demanded.
"A Phoenix" he replied.
"The assassins?" Piper asked, and he nodded.
"Her name is Bianca"
"How do you know her?" Leo asked.
"She's from the future, she's Wyatt's right hand"
"How did she get here? And Why?" Paige pipped up.
"I don't know how for sure, but my guess would be the Wyatt found a way to send her through. As for why, she is supposed to take me back" he replied.
Before any of them could say another word, a triquetra opened on the wall, and Chris's eyes widened in horror, "NO" he screamed, before jumping in.
Prue, who had walked a bit towards him, threw herself after him; and Piper, fearing the loss of her sister once more, at the hands of her son no less, threw herself after the two of them, and before anybody else was able to react, the portal closed.
Here you go guys, the next chapter. Let me know what you think of it.
