Chapt 19

Piper rushes home with Wyatt, her heart in her throat. "Leo where the heck are you today?"

Flashback to earlier...

"How can I help you Ms...?" The kind Mrs. Roller asks.

"Halliwell. Do you have any books on healing poison or amulets, spells anything?" Piper asks cradling Wyatt in one arm while flipping through random books with the other.

"Aren't you a Charmed One?" Mrs. Roller asks, confused, "Has your husband been hurt?"

"Yes, I am a Charmed One, and my future whitelighter Chris has been fatally wounded by a darklighter. Leo refused to come down and although we managed to stop the bleeding the poisons still unhealed. How did you know?" Piper responds.

"I'm psychic." She answers simply, "Here's a care package, spells, amulets, books, herbs, candles, the works. Do me a favor and when that elder husband of yours shows up blow him back up there..."

"Orbs and all." Piper finishes and laughs.

Mrs. Roller suddenly bends over her, holding her head. "Go take it on the house, call for Leo, something bad is happening at the Manor. Go! Hurry!"

End Flashback

Piper pulls her car to the side of the road, right in Mrs. Noble's driveway, whose dumpster took up half the block because Phoebe's car was already in the drive, and Paige had hers in the last parking space in front of the Manor. "Paige? Phoebe? Where are you?" Piper yells as she puts Wyatt in his playpen. No answer, but wait what was that. 'Uh-oh' Piper thinks upon hearing sobbing noises coming from the attic.

Piper rushes upstairs and bursts into the attic. "What happened? Why is the attic destroyed and my husband unconscious? Where's Chris?"

"Oh Piper." Phoebe says, looking sympathetically at the elder Charmed One. "Chris is right behind me, the poison got to far and his heart stopped, Paige did everything she could to save him. When Leo," She spat the name out in disgust, "finally showed up he kept asking questions and when Paige got him to try to heal Chris he-he said he couldn't heal evil because Chris wasn't healing and Paige kind of went berserk and started beating him up." Phoebe says weeping, Piper's eyes were wet with tears.

Piper looks past Phoebe to see her youngest sister's body flung over the pale, lifeless, bloody body of her fallen whitelighter, her body shaking with wracking sobs of anguish. "Paige sweetie I know you had to watch and he was like you but what's really wrong?" Piper says crouching by her distraught sister, petting her blood soaked hair gently.

"H-he was so young. He didn't deserve this all he was doing is trying to save us and his brother from the future." Paige's voice is muffled and lets out another sob, "We never even knew the truth about him, we treated Cole better and he was a demon. He wasn't blood, yet he was treated so much better. Chris is blood and we treated him like the source."

Paige lifts her bloody head and lets out a shriek of pure agony before falling back on Chris's motionless form, sobbing even harder, "He called me Aunt Paige, Piper we killed our own family. He's your son, mine and Phoebe's nephew and we killed him. Our mistrust and the way we spoke to him ishis last memory of us. The last thing he did was tell me to save someone whose name starts with an M. Piper we killed him and the last thing he wanted us to do was to save someone else. Probably the other boy."

Piper stops petting Paige's head, one thought running through her head, ' He's my son. He thinks I hated him, I did hate him. We killed him with our distrust. We killed my son.'

"Oh my gosh, what have we done?" Piper says softly. "First things first, Phoebe get Leo, put him in the center of the attic, Paige get the crystals, make a circle around Leo, like we use when we torture demons. Leo will pay for what he has done."

Phoebe and Paige do as they're told, while Piper mixes a potion. "Uh, Piper are we going to use that on Leo." Phoebe asks, after helping put Leo in the cage.

Piper doesn't answer, instead she walks over to Chris and gets some blood. Piper returns to the potion and puts the blood in, the potion goes Poof in white smoke. "This should take us to the boy since Chris was with him. I'm guessing that is how he got here. When the boy left he threw a potion, this is a replica of that potion but it will take us to where Chris was last." Piper explains.

Piper, Phoebe and Paige grab vanquishing potions and orb out.

Dan's cave

Dan pushes stop on the camera and throws a cloth over Chris's cage and steps into the shadows as three women orb in. "Wow Piper you look good." A creepy voice says.

"Who the heck are you and have you seen a boy down here?" Piper barks poised to blow the demon up.

"Ouch. I'm surprised Piper I thought you would recognize me after all we dated. As for the boy," A hand flicks out and the cloth falls from the cage.

"Chris? How is that possible he's dead on our attic floor?" Phoebe exclaims in utter disbelief.

" What do you mean we dated? The only demon I dated we already vanquished twice!" Piper says whirling on the demon.

"I wasn't a demon then. But I am now. It's all your future husbands fault. He had you chasing after a demon when I was attacked. This is your fault." Dan says stepping out of the shadows. The grotesque creature in front of them had half a face and one arm was partly metal.

" Oh my gosh! Dan!" Piper exclaims and just about faints.

"Dan as in Dan Gordon, neighbor Dan who almost exposed Leo?" Paige asks, while Phoebe nods.

"Nice to meet you. It's Paige isn't it. So sorry to hear about what was her name oh yeah Prudence." Dan says, "Wait no I'm not. Whatever causes Piper pain is fine with me. Now what do you mean by Chris is dead on your floor? Your future husband is right here." Dan growls pointing at 'Chris'.

"Future husband. Wow you are wacked, that's my son you..." Piper yells spewing swear words at her ex boyfriend turned psycho demon. "Ladies potion time, let's see of this still works," Piper says freezing Dan. The sisters throw the vanquishing potions and Dan explodes into a billion pieces.

Turning to the cage the sisters chant a spell,

"The Power of Three will set you free, The Power of Three will set you free, The Power of Three will set you free."

The cage opens and the restraints vanish. As Piper and Paige pull the soaking wet duplicate of Chris out of the cage a bunch of sparkly white lights surround him. When the lights disappear the Chris look-alike is gone, replaced by an unconscious girl around 18 years old with shoulder length brown hair.

"Chris where are you? Are you safe?" The girl mumbles as they orb back to the Manor.
