Author: Jediya

Hi all. Well looky here I have written a teaser for a new story. This is the sequel to my first charmed story 'Gemstones', so I would suggest you read that first. .Gemstones
This is all I've written so far for this new story but I will try and write more soon

Teaser

A dark haired woman ran through a door that led to what looked like the Halliwell Manor’s attic. She was closely followed by a small boy, with the same dark brown hair. The woman looked to be in her 40s but her long hair covered her features. The boy looked about 13-14 and looked at the woman with large fearful green eyes.

“We have to hide the book!” the woman cried, moving over towards the large book resting on top of a pedestal, “can’t let him get hold of it!”

She beckoned the boy over to her as she began unfolding a piece of paper. At that moment another woman, slighter younger with lighter hair, burst into the room.

“I couldn’t hold him!” she said, in-between gasping for breath, “He’s on his way up now!”<br>
The older woman moved the boy into a hiding place behind one of the cabinets and then turned her attention to the newcomer.

“Fine, just say the spell with me quickly!” the urgency in her voice didn’t go unnoticed.

They were just about to start chanting when a teenager of about 16-17 with longish blonde hair, charges in.

“Give me the book!” he snarled at the two women.

“No, you can’t have it!” the younger woman snapped back.

“If you won’t hand it over then it will be taken by force!” he growled.

Suddenly several warlocks and demons materialised around him.

“Depose of them!” he commanded, folding his arms across his chest.

The older woman smirked and simply flicked her hands freezing the demons in place. She then proceeded to blow several warlocks up before the rest adapted to her power.

The younger woman stood there as the remaining warlocks through energy balls at her, which suddenly altered course and took out their users. She then jumped in the air and aimed a kick at the teenager, only he raised his hand and both women were thrown forcefully against the wall.

“Your time is up!” he said, laughing evilly as an energy ball appeared in his hand.

“Wait!” the older woman cried, “You wouldn’t kill me surely!” she said, looking pleadingly into his eyes.

The teenager’s face softened slightly, “No your right mother,” he said quietly but then an evil grin spread across his face, “I couldn’t kill YOU!”<br>
With this he made a fist with his hand and the younger woman began to choke. His grin became more intense and he flicked his wrist, the woman jerked and a sickening crack could be heard as her neck snapped and she fell to the floor…dead!

“No!” the older woman cried, moving over to the dead woman, “How could you?” she said, turning tearful eyes towards the teen.

“Sorry mother, but you lot were only standing in my way!” he said, as he telekinetically lifted the book and vanished from the room.

While the woman was crying, she failed to notice the demons unfreeze and one threw an energy ball at her, propelling her across the room to hit the wall and land in a crumpled heap.

The demons then all shimmered out after noticing that their ‘master’ had already left.

When they had left the dark haired boy emerged from his hiding place and rushed over the dark haired woman.

“Mom?” he queried in a small voice, touching her gently.

“I’m sorry honey,” she gasped out placing a weak hand on the boy’s face, “so sorry…” she whizzed as he hand fell limply to the floor.

The boy’s tears fell heavily as he cradled his dead mother, “No!”

“No!!!” Chris cried as his eyes snapped open and he looked panic-stricken around the room, gasping for breath. He shook violently, his hair plastered to his head and dripping with sweat.
He let out a shuddering breath and ran a shaky hand through his hair.
Why had that dream returned now?

What do ya think?

Sorry it took so long but here's Part 1.....I hope you like itSadly my team didn't win we lost and are in danger of being relegated!

Part 1

A swirl of white and blue orbs appeared in the Manor’s living room and began to form a figure. As Chris materialised completely he heard crashes and cursing.

“Look out!” a shout greeted his ears and he looked up to see a black arrow heading straight for his head. Chris’s eyes widened and he threw himself to the ground as the arrow flew over him harmlessly.

“Arrow!” he heard another shout and looked up in time to see Paige redirected the black arrow towards a darklighter. The arrow hit the darklighter and it exploded on impact.

Chris stood up slowly with a puzzled expression on his face.

“Where the hell were you?”

Chris turned around and came face to face with a very angry Piper Halliwell.

“What?” he said confused.

His eyes surveyed the room, which was in bad shape. The grandfather clock was smashed again and it looked like someone or something had landed in the middle of the table and hand broken it in half. Scorch marks could be seen all over the floor and broken china and furniture littered the room.

“We called you ages ago…some help you are!” Piper began ranting earning Chris’s undivided attention. “We had to fend off half a dozen darklighters and a demon that we have no clue what or who it was!” she continued, glaring at him.

“I…I didn’t…” he started but seeing the expression on his face his head dropped and he looked at the ground, “I’m sorry” he mumbled.

“Pfft! Yeah right!” Piper yelled, “Now if you don’t mind I’m going to check on MY son and see if he is alright, no thanks to you!” she shouted at him as she walked out the room and stomped upstairs. If she hadn’t left so soon she wouldn’t have missed the distraught look that found its way onto Chris’s face.

“She’s just worried about Wyatt,” he heard someone say and noticed Paige and Phoebe approach him, “she was actually worried about you when you didn’t show up!” Phoebe said softly trying to comfort her future nephew.

“Yeah you know what with the whole gemstones incident we kind of freak out when you don’t turn up straight away,” Paige piped up, “Are you ok?” she asked, noticing the strange look on Chris’s face.

“Huh! Yeah I’m fine!” Chris replied quickly, “I just err you called me?” he asked.

“Yeah honey….why didn’t you hear us?” Phoebe replied, noticing the utterly confused expression on his face.

Chris shook his head and sighed heavily, “I…don’t think so,” he said, trying to remember if he heard them calling him earlier. They must have called him while he was dreaming.

While Chris was trying to think, Phoebe and Paige shared a concerned look and then looked closer at their future nephew. On closer inspection they could see that his normally bright green eyes were now paler in colour and had large dark circles beneath them. His complexion was a lot paler and his hair was more messed up than normal. They also noticed that his clothes seemed looser, had he lost weight? All put together Chris’s appearance was haggard and worrying to his aunts.

“Are you sure you’re ok?” Paige questioned him again, “You don’t look all that good!”<br>
“I’m fine!” Chris replied very quickly, too quickly for the sisters’ liking.

Phoebe stepped forward feeling a whole assortment of different emotions from Chris. “Honey, you’re not exactly sending out vibes that tell me you’re fine!” she said, concern evident in her voice.

“Phoebe, I said I’m fine! So just leave me the hell alone ok?” Chris snapped reminding both Phoebe and Paige of the time Piper was turned into a Furee.

Not giving them any more chances to question him Chris quickly orbed out and back to his room at P3.

“What’s all the yelling about?” Piper asked, as she entered the room carrying Wyatt.

“Where’d Chris go?” she added with a hint of venom in her voice, as she noticed that the young witch-whitelighter had vanished.

“He orbed out,” Paige said simply.

“Uh huh, and what did you do or say to make him angry?” seeing their faces she rolled her eyes, “Come guys, I could hear him shouted from upstairs!”<br>
“Piper have you noticed that ever since the gemstones incident Chris has been well a little out of it?” Phoebe said, “Have you taken time to look at him lately? He looks terrible! I don’t think he’s sleeping and from the look of it he may have lost weight as well!”

Piper sighed. she had noticed the changes in Chris’s attitude and appearance in the last couple of weeks but hadn’t said anything about it because she just figured he needed some time to himself.

“It was a traumatic experience, we’ve all had them…he’ll be ok in time just let him be!” she told her younger sister as she walked into the kitchen.
At P3 Chris sat slouched in a chair and was trying to stop his eyes from closing. He thought about what had occurred at the Manor, they had called him and he hadn’t heard. What if it had been more serious? What if that’s when Wyatt had been turned?

Chris suddenly saw a series of flashes, of events put together. He saw the woman with a lighter shade of brown hair, he saw her choking and then jerk as her neck was snapped and she fell to the ground with wide open but glazed over eyes.

He then saw an energy ball hit the older woman cradling that woman in her arms. He saw her hit the wall and slide bonelessly to the ground in a heap. He then saw a small brown haired boy, place his hands over the woman’s wound.

Suddenly he found himself in the boy’s place leaning over the prone woman’s body, desperately trying to heal when he knew he couldn’t. She was dead. He looked at his blood soaked hands…his mother was dead!

Chris gasped as his eyes snapped open and he almost fell out of the chair he was in. He had let his eyes close. He held his head in his hands and shuddered as tears fell down his face. He had been plagued with nightmares for the past couple of weeks and didn’t want to fall asleep, for these were not normal nightmares, no these were memories and Chris did not want to relieve such painful memories.

Part 2

The next morning Paige and Phoebe walked into the attic to find their future nephew pouring over the Book of Shadows flicking through pages whilst mumbling to himself. They noticed that he looked terrible, worse than he had yesterday.

“What are you doing?” Paige asked, making Chris jump as he thought he was alone.
“Umm looking for possible demons that could harm Wyatt!” he replied. It was always best to feed them the same story all the time then to try and come up with a lie on the spot.

“I was also thinking, Phoebe, maybe a love spell or potion is the way to go with Mom and Dad.” He added as an afterthought.

The sister in question slowly shook her head, “No no…me and Paige have been talking and we decided we’re going to wine and dine them,” she said.

“Make them remember why they married in the first place!” Paige injected.

Chris’s head snapped up to look at his aunts. “You’re kidding…that’ll take way to long!” he all put yelled at them, “I’m on a tight schedule as it is.” He added under his breath.

“What will take too long?”

Three pairs of eyes looked in the direction of the attic door to see Piper standing in the doorway with a curious look upon her face. Chris locked pleading eyes with his aunts, begging them to come up with some kind of excuse.

“Err getting Leo to ask the other Elders about this umm demon that attacked us!” Paige stuttered out, her mind working quickly to come up with some sort of answer.

Piper looked at the three of them for a second or two and then nodded, “you’re right that would take too long!” she finally said before leaving and going downstairs.

Phoebe, Paige and Chris let out a collective sigh of relief and Chris flashed a thankful look Paige’s way.

“Close call!” Phoebe uttered.

“Yah!” Paige agreed, “Anyway, Chris how are you?”<br>
“Yeah everything ok with you today?” Phoebe added, squinting her eyes in such a way that it looked like she trying to get a read off of him.

The relaxed expression fled from Chris’s face to be replaced by a scowl, “I’m fine” he spat out through gritted teeth.

“Are you sure?” Phoebe pressed.

Chris just glared at her and blinked slowly.

“Ok Jeez! Aren’t aunts entitled to worry about their nephews?” she huffed throwing her hands up above her head in frustration.

“There’s nothing wrong with me, so you don’t have to worry,” Chris said as he rolled his eyes, like his mother often did when she was annoyed with Leo or her younger sisters.

“Come on Phoebe, I’ll drop you off at work,” Paige said grabbing her sister’s arm and dragging her out of the attic. “We’ll find out what’s wrong with him later!” she added once they were out of hearing range.

Once he was alone again, Chris slammed the book shut.

“Useless book, nothing in there!” he groaned, “I guess I’ll just have to do it the old fashioned way.”<br>
As he said this he orbed out of the attic and appeared downstairs in the kitchen.

“Coffee! Strong coffee” he said simply and began brewing himself some.

-----------------------
Somewhere in a hidden cavern underground, a darkly dressed man muttered something in Latin.
Suddenly a woman with long dark hair, piercing deep green eyes and dressed in a long black dress and elegant black cloak appeared in the centre of the cavern in a flash of bright light.

“How dare you summon me, you weak imbecile!” she cried angrily, her voice strong as she overpronouced each word.

“I am in need of your services Milady!” the man spoke as he knelt in front of the woman, “I have payment!”<br>
The woman’s eyes gleamed in delight at the mention of payment, “Let me see!” she cried, reaching for the package he held. She inspected the goods and nodded in satisfaction.

“Yes this will do well enough,” she said looking back to the man before her, “Now speak vermin! What do you want?”<br>
“What does every demon want at this moment in time milady?” he said as he rose from his place on the floor, “to defeat the Charmed Ones and become the new Source!”<br>
The woman’s eyebrows rose at this, “And how do you propose to do so?” she questioned already knowing the answer.

“You plague on emotions, particularly guilt, grief and sadness,” the man, now revealed as a demon, stated, “I figured if the Charmed Ones had to relive there most painful memories, it would destroy them and you, milady, would benefit from it also!”<br>
“Interesting,” the woman said, a evil smirk spreading across her face, “I have the perfect incantation!” she held out her hand and a small book appeared in it, “You must recite this with all those you wish to be affected in the same place…or else it will not work on that individual.” She said with a stern look as she tore a page of the book and handed it to him.

“Thank you milady!” he said and shimmered out with a triumphant expression on his dark face.

No, thank you!” she smirked, “for with the power I receive from the most powerful witches’ emotions I will become the new queen!” she cried, her words ending with a long harsh cackle.


What ya think? Honestly I dunno what to think myself....

Part 3

Paige and Phoebe orbed back to the Manor, both their jobs having finished at the same time. They walked into the Living Room to find Piper on the couch reading.

“About time you two got back,” Piper said, placing the book down and turning her attention to her sisters, “we found out who the demon is!”<br>
“Great!” Phoebe cried, her brow then farrowed slightly, “hang on what do you mean we?”<br>
As she asked his questions a familiar sound could be heard and a figure materialised from a cloud of blue and white orbs. The figure had appeared with their back to Paige and Phoebe and was oblivious to the two sisters as he leant in to kiss Piper.

“Well hello Leo!” Paige spoke up with a big grin on her face.

“Paige! Phoebe!” Leo cried as he turned round sharply and jumped away from Piper, who just rolled her eyes heavenward.

“Are you two…?” Phoebe asked.

“Yes!” Leo said, at the same time as Piper cried “No!” Leo and Piper looked at each other with unreadable expressions and then turned back to Paige and Phoebe.

“We’re err still sorting out things!” Piper added sheepishly.

“Right…So have you two?” Paige asked, raising her eyebrows with a knowing grin.

“That…is none of your business!” Piper snapped. As she turned she noticed the grin on Leo’s face and hit him in the arm. “Will you just tell them about the demon already!” she cried as she hit him.

Just as Leo was about to speak, another cloud of orbs formed and Chris particularly bounced on the spot as he materialised fully.

“Hey Phoebe, Paige!” he cried cheerfully. He looked over at the couch to see Piper sitting there with Leo hovering nearby; he turned back to Paige and Phoebe with a hopeful grin.

“Have you already done that thing you were gonna do, with you know who, to help with the thing for you know?” he spat out rapidly, a sentence that would normally take about 10 seconds to say but he had managed to say in about 4.

The sisters and Leo just blinked and look slightly freaked out by the unusually loud and jovial witch-whitelighter.

“What the hell happened to you?” Paige finally asked, breaking the unnerving silence.

“Yea! This morning you were really down and snapping at everyone!” Phoebe added her two cents.

“Maybe my mood just lifted!” Chris said loudly, his eyes extremely bright and he couldn’t stop bouncing.

“Uh huh!” Piper said doubtfully, “or maybe you’re just high on coffee?”<br>
Chris shrugged, grinned stupidly and pointed at Piper, “Or that!” he turned sharply towards the younger Halliwell sisters, “So did you do that thing?”<br>
“Right the thing!” Paige said nervously, “Uh Chris why don’t you come with us a minute?”

“That doesn’t sound good!” Chris said, pouting slightly and turning to Phoebe, “it’s not good is it? Phoebe is this good?”<br>
Phoebe forced a small smile, “Just come with me honey!” she said leading him into the kitchen.

“I wouldn’t worry too much!” Piper yelled after them, “He’ll drop soon, what with all that coffee he drank.”<br>
Suddenly there came a large thump from the kitchen and then Phoebe’s voice cried out meekly.

“Uh, little help?”<br>
“Wow sooner than I even thought!” Piper whistled.

“I’ll get him!” Leo sighed and walked into the kitchen. Then he orbed next to the couch and let Chris slump down onto it, asleep.

“Think he’ll be ok?” Paige asked, as Phoebe rejoined them.

“Once all that caffeine’s out of his system, he’ll be back to the neurotic guy we all know and love!” Piper quipped, looking down at the sleeping witch-whitelighter.

“Ok then…you were saying?” Phoebe said looking at Leo who looked at her puzzled, “demon?”<br>
“Oh right!” he cried, “Nothing to worry about really, its low level and can be killed with a simple vanquishing spell.”<br>
“You forget that Garentax was low level too!” Paige injected with a shudder.

“Yea but this is different.” Leo replied.

“If you say so!”<br>
Just then Chris started mumbling in his sleep and everyone looked at him in concern.

“I’m still worried about him!” Paige said, noticing the dark circles under Chris’s eyes.

“Why what’s wrong?” Leo asked frowning.

Phoebe explained to Leo about Chris’s decline in health since the gemstones incident.

“Sounds like he doesn’t want to sleep.” Leo said thoughtfully, finally noticing Chris’s haggard appearance.

“Hmm and the coffee was his desperation!” Piper added.

Chris suddenly started thrashing his head, sweat welling on his forehead and he mumbled a heart retching ‘No!’

“Should we wake him?” Phoebe asked.

Piper shook her head, “He really needs some sleep.” She said, although it didn’t sound very convincing.

At that moment the demon in question materialised in the room and he immediately began chanting a spell, giving them no chance to react.

“Guilt, Angst, Despair and Grief,
All these you’ve felt once before,
Time to relive in a painful motif,
The memories you can not ignore!”<br>
As the spell ended, The Charmed Ones, Leo and Chris vanished in a bright light. The demon grinned, laughed and then shimmered out happy with his work.

Well let me know what you think!

[Nite Owl]

Part 4

The demon appeared in the underground cavern. He walked over the black-clad woman, ready to announce his victory.

“Did you succeed?” the woman asked, as she turned to face him.

“I recited the spell like you told me and the witches and their whitelighters vanished!” He declared proudly.

“Excellent,” she hissed out, “now!” She turned to a large pool of water and poured some liquid from a vile into it. She then waved her hands over the surface. “It’s my turn!”<br>
As the water’s surface swirled images began to form and then the unconscious forms of The Charmed Ones, Leo and Chris appeared.

“So how are we going to approach this?” the demon asked.

The woman rolled her eyes at his use of the word ‘we’ but answered him nonetheless, “I think we’ll work our way through by age.” As she said this an image of Leo filled the water’s surface.

“Now watch my weak associate, as they are each consumed by their most painful memories.” She said, her eyes bulging at the thought of the power she would receive from an Elder and The great Charmed Ones.

“What happens if they overcome the memory?” the demon spoke up thoughtfully.

The woman turned abruptly to face him and let out a short cackle, “I am not Barbus you fool!” she hissed her eyes flashing in anger, “Memories are much harder to overcome than fears because memories are events that have already happened.”<br>
The demon nodded, “but say they do?” he pressed.

The woman sighed, “If they are consumed by or,” she looked at him and let out a scoff, “overcome the memory then we move on to the next individual…if they manage to overcome them they will be freed once all the memories have played out!” she continued, “but I highly doubt all of them will survive, maybe the whitelighters but not the witches!”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Meanwhile, trapped in the demonic woman’s realm, The Charmed Ones, Leo and Chris began to stir and awaken from their unconscious state.

“Ugh, what happened?” Paige asked, holding a hand to her head as she stood.

“How the hell should I know!” Piper grumbled.

Phoebe ran a hand through her short hair and shook her head, “I remember a demon…then a flash and then…where are we?” she said noticing the bleak surroundings.

“I’m not sure!” Leo answered her, as he helped Piper to her feet.

“Hmm it’s like a big white room!” Paige supplied.

Piper threw her hands up above her head, “great, we’re in a demonic loony bin!” she declared sarcastically.

They all heard a groan and looked down at Chris.

“I have a headache.” He moaned, rubbing his temples as he sat on the floor.

“Well that’s what you get for being on a caffeine high” Piper replied without much sympathy, she understood that he was suffering from some kind of sleep disorder; probably nightmares; but she would’ve rather he had came and spoke to them about it then resort to drinking coffee…thank god he hadn’t chose alcohol.

“Ugh, can someone turn the brightness down?” Chris groaned, shielding his eyes from the glaring whiteness.

The moment he said this, then the surroundings began to change and the whiteness began to distort and form shapes.

“Err what’s going on?” Chris asked, standing up next to the others.

“Who knows?” Piper replied, “Can anyone remember that spell?” she asked the others.

“What spell?” Chris asked utterly confused.

“I remember something about motifs,” Phoebe replied, ignoring Chris.

Paige nodded, “Yeah and grief!”<br>
“Well that’s a lot of help thanks!” Piper snapped rolling her eyes skywards. Wait sky? She could see sky.

“What do you think Leo?” Phoebe asked the Elder, ignoring her sister’s retort, “Leo?” she asked again after she received no reply.

They all turned to see Leo frozen in place, starring at something opened mouthed. They then looked past him to see what it was he was so transfixed by.

They gasped at what they saw, their about 20 yards in front was what looked like army tents. Soldiers, nurses and medics ran to and from various points. All of them jumped as a series of loud explosions sounded almost right near them. They heard distant gunfire and screams of pure agony coming from several tents.

“Leo what’s wrong?” Piper asked a mixture of concern and confusion in her voice. “And what are you wearing? Wait what are we all wearing?”<br>
Sure enough as they looked at each other, they found that they were dressed differently. Both Chris and Leo were wearing army uniforms with marks of medics on them. The three sisters were dressed as army nurses.

“What the hell is going on?” Paige asked.

Any replies from the others were interrupted as a shout came across the encampment.

“Wyatt!” a man shouted in their direction, “Get over here, these men need treating! Wyatt!!! Get your Med team here on the double!”<br>
Leo snapped out of the dream-like trance he was in and turned to whisper to the others.

“Just do what I say…I’ll try to explain later but I think we’re back in World War II.” The Elder said as they began walking towards the tents.

“God, how old are you?” Chris breathed out.

“Chris!!!” The sisters scolded, as their whitelighter only shrugged.

“Leo! Leo!” another voice rang out over the explosions, “Leo, get over here quick! Get over here! Nathan’s been hit!”<br>
Leo stopped and stared shocked at the man standing before him, holding up a younger man. “It can’t be? Rick?”<br>
“It’s bad isn’t it?” Rick asked, taking more of Nathan’s weight.

Chris looked horrified by the wound. “What the hell hit him?”<br>
“Mortar frag hit us with heavy artillery, “ Rick replied, “Out of nowhere. All battalions down.”<br>
“We’ve gotta get him inside!” Leo exclaimed, taking some of Nathan’s weight and helping Rick get him into the Med Tent.

“Get the Sulfa Powder!” He told the sisters, “we’ve gotta stop the bleeding, he’s going into shock!”<br>

[Nite Owl]

“Psst Phoebe, do they look familiar?” Piper asked her younger sister in a low voice.

Phoebe looked at her blankly, not getting what Piper meant.

“Think of them transparent.”<br>
“Oh you’re right…oh no!”<br>
“You mean the ghosts?” Paige injected.

Piper nodded. She looked over at Leo in sympathy, she remembered when Rick and Nathan had come back from the grave seeking revenge on Leo. This must be hard for him.

“I need morphine kit!” Leo cried, pointing at the kit in the far corner of the tent. Paige grabbed it and passed it over to him.

“You’ve gotta help him,” Rick cried at Leo, “he needs you, we both need you!”<br>
“Leo, a word,” Piper said pulling him away from Nathan’s side. “You have to leave them.”<br>
“I can’t…they die!” he cried in anguish, “I know they do…I should stay!”<br>
“We’ve been through this before.”<br>
“I don’t care! I actually have a chance to change this!”<br>
“We don’t know that!”

“It must be! What if I can save them?”<br>
“What if you can’t?”<br>
“I have to try!”<br>
“Hey,” a new voice said from behind them and they turned to face a sombre looking Chris. “If we really have travelled through time, take it from someone who knows Leo…what if you end up dying with them?”<br>
“What?” Leo exclaimed, more in puzzlement at what Chris meant from ‘someone who knows’, than from Chris’s actual question.

“Think about it. You’d never become a whitelighter, the girls would never be The Charmed Ones and Wyatt…he won’t even exist!” *Not to mention neither will I!* he added silently.

“I have to try!” Leo just repeated his earlier statement to Piper.
“Help me move him!” he shouted to Rick.

“Why?”<br>
“We need to get him to a different tent!” he turned back to Chris and Piper, “either help me or stay out of my way!”<br>
Chris and Piper move to the each of the encampment and watched as Leo and Rick, with the help of Phoebe and Paige, moved Nathan to another tent.

“I’ll be right back,” Leo told Rick, as he and the two younger sisters walked over to Piper and Chris.

Just the a bomb hit the tent, that they were originally in but to Leo’s horror the blast carried through and struck the tent with Rick and Nathan inside, killing him instantly.

“No!” Leo cried, “It didn’t happen like that, they should be alright!”<br>
“Remember our discussion Leo!” Piper said, gently touching him on the arm, “they were meant to die…like you were meant to save all those people!”<br>
As she finished speaking, they watched as the surroundings suddenly went dark and then the encampment appeared again, intact once more.

“You’ve gotta help him. He needs you, we both need you!”<br>
All five of them looked shocked as a very much alive Rick spoke the same words he had earlier.

“What the…” Paige managed to breathe out.

“Maybe I get another chance?” Leo asked with a small degree of hope.

“No Leo, let it happen the way it’s suppose to!” Piper said gently, “how it did before.”<br>
“You’re right!”<br>
“Rookinson, try to stabilise him!” Leo shouted to another Medic, the same one he had told to do so, so many years ago.

“Where are you going?” Rick asked, in a mixture of betrayal and confusion.

“To go help those out in the field!” he replied sombrely.

“What?”<br>
“Rookinson will take care of him.”<br>
“No, no, no! You’re gonna take care of him. That’s Nathan on that bench. You’re gonna choose them over us!”<br>
“I’m sorry!”<br>
Leo ran over to where the others were waiting for him.

“We’re your friends! Nathan’s gonna die. Don’t let him die…”

Rick’s words were drowned out as the bomb hit the tent, killing everyone near it.

“I’m so sorry,” Leo whispered sadly.

Suddenly the surroundings changed once more but only reverted back to the bright endless whiteness.

“I’m really confused now…what’s going on?” Phoebe asked.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the cavern the woman slammed her fist down in anger.

“Damn them!”<br>
“What happened?” the demon asked, confused by her outburst.

“He’s most painful memory! He’d already overcome it before…that’s what happened!” she snarled.

“Oh!”<br>
“The next one will not be so fortunate!”<br>
She waved her hand over the water’s surface and an image of Piper formed there.


What d'ya think?

Part 5

“This is ridiculous!” Piper cried as she threw her hands up in the air in frustration. “We need to remember that spell and work out what that demon is up too.”<br>
“He can’t be working alone,” Leo said, “that spell was too powerful for a low level demon…he could never have transported us here!”<br>
“And where is here exactly?” Paige questioned the elder, hoping that he had some kind of theory.

Leo grimaced under the scrutiny, “I’m trying to work that out.”<br>
“Oh well, by all means, take your time” Chris spoke up suddenly, running his hands through his thick brown hair exhibiting the same frustration as the eldest Halliwell sister.
“Maybe you have endless amounts but some of us are on a limit you know!”<br>
“Chris…” Phoebe sent a warning glance Chris’s way.

“Fine…not the time for it I know!”<br>
“What is your problem?” Leo asked anger evident in his voice.

Chris’s eyes flashed a darker green as his anger increased. “Don’t tempt me!”<br>
Phoebe stepped in between the two men and placed a hand on each of their chests, pushing them apart. “Can we get back on track here please!” she said in a low growl, as she picked up on the two’s anger and the empathy power caused it to affect her as well.

“Umm guys…” Paige’s voice broke through the haze of anger. Whilst Leo and Chris were arguing, Paige had been the only one to notice the scenery change once more. This time it changed to a clearing in a forest and Paige also noticed that Piper had also changed.

“Uh oh,” Phoebe managed as she took in the sight of her eldest sister dressed in the brown leather clothes of a Valkyrie.

“Piper?” Leo asked, hesitantly taking a step towards his ex-wife.

“Don’t…stay away from me!” Piper cried, holding her hand out in front the gesture stopping Leo mid-step.

“What? Piper…I…”

“You left us.”<br>
“I…what?”<br>
Leo looked back at the others, utter confusion showing on his face.

“It’s like she’s reliving when she was turned into a Valkyrie,” Paige said, sounding as confused as Leo looked.

Chris cringed at what Paige said and realised that everyone was looking at him. He offered them a weak smile, it wasn’t his fault Piper had gone mental when he made her a Valkyrie. It was Leo’s – pure and simple.

“Piper, stop,” Phoebe said, trying to reason with her sister, “don’t get caught up in this…you have to snap out of it!”<br>
“We’ve got to get through to her,” Paige said to the others, “the pain almost destroyed her last time!”<br>
Chris glared at Leo; he was the one that had caused Piper’s pain. Of course Chris conveniently forgot that he had technically caused his parents to become separated in the first place.
“Well how do you suppose we do that?”<br>
“Leo, talk to her!” Phoebe cried, rubbing her temples in pain.

Leo stepped towards Piper again. “Piper come on…we’ve done this already,” he started pleadingly, “you got through it, don’t let it consume you now…it’s what the demon wants!”<br>
“But you…you left, became an Elder,” Piper said, running a hand down her face in despair,

“I know Piper and you know too! This is just the spell working on you!”

Just as Leo felt as if he was getting through to Piper, Phoebe chose that moment to lose control over her empathy.

“You bastard!” she cried, lunging towards Leo, “How dare you do this to me. To our son!”<br>
“Phoebe, focus,” Paige cried, pulling her sister away from Leo, “don’t get caught up in Piper’s feelings!”<br>
Phoebe rubbed her temples again. “Sorry” she said meekly, “Thanks Paige.”<br>
“We had a life together, a family and you destroyed…” Piper started yelling at Leo again but then she had spotted something that she hadn’t noticed before. “Wait. No. YOU did!” she cried in rage, turning to face Chris.

“What!” Chris squeaked out, looking to the entire world like a deer caught in headlights.

“The minute you appeared you ruined everything,” she continued, taking threatening steps towards him, every time she spoke and Chris took a step backwards each time. “You took my husband away from me…you left my son fatherless…hell Leo’s probably right, you probably did send him to Valhalla!”<br>
“No…I…Piper please!” Chris stuttered. He couldn’t believe how angry his mother was, had she really felt like this at the time of this event…or did she still feel that way.

“Don’t you ‘Piper please’ me…you have been nothing but a thorn in my side since you appeared!” she threw he hands out in rage and a surprising thing happened. Chris was thrown through the air and landed some distance from Piper.

“What the hell!” Paige gasped, too shocked to react.

“You ruined my marriage, you son of a…”

“Stop!” Phoebe cried suddenly, “Piper, I beg you not to finish that sentence.”<br>
“I wish you had never arrived, “Piper said, angry tears streaming down her face as she glared down at the young witch-whitelighter. “Then Leo wouldn’t have left me and…and…”

“And Paige would be dead!” Chris cried out in anger and anguish, “and Leo would have left you anyway, but for a much different and worse reason…believe me!” he added in a softer voice.

At his comment, Piper literally saw red and went to gesture her hands again but she felt much larger ones enveloped her own.
She looked up to see Leo’s soft, caring blue eyes.

“Piper please,” he pleaded to her, “listen to me. You are under a spell, the same spell that affected me earlier remember? But you…you helped me through it, now let me help you, “Piper looked at him, her anger being to dissipate. “Don’t let the pain consume you, don’t give in to your anger. You forgave Chris once…forgive him again. Look at him, he’s made himself ill from some kind of emotional problem…don’t do it to yourself!”<br>

[Nite Owl]

Chris cringed and hung his head in shame at what Leo just said.

“Oh god…you’re right,” Piper gasped, “What was I thinking?”<br>
“Its ok honey, “Phoebe said, going over to comfort her sister, “we understand.”<br>
Paige nodded. “Yeah it’s the demon playing with us.”<br>
They watched as the scenery once again reverted back to the white void.

Piper looked down at Chris, who was still on the floor, and held out her hand to help him up. “Chris I’m sorry…I really am.”<br>
Chris took her hand, after only a moment’s hesitation, stood up and brushed himself off. “It’s fine…I understand, it was the spell.”<br>
“You know that’s not how I feel…it was then but not now.”<br>
“I got it Piper…I got it!” Chris offered her a small grin, but she could still see the faint residue of pain in his green eyes.

“Explain to me this though, “Paige’s voice interrupted, “how did you throw him through the air?”<br>
“I don’t know…maybe a new power?” Piper replied hopefully.

“I wouldn’t think so…that was telekinesis!” Leo said, as if that was a sufficient explanation.

“And why couldn’t I get telekinesis?”<br>
“Piper…”

“I have an idea,” Phoebe interjected. She looked at Chris and grinned. Chris’s eyes widened, as he realised what her idea was.
“Maybe Piper’s…”

“Got it from being a Valkyrie!” Chris all but yelled out before Phoebe could finish her sentence. Phoebe glared at Chris, who just gave her a smug grin.

“Yeah that’s probably it!” Leo said, agreeing with Chris, whose grin widened at this.

“Oh!” Piper exhaled disappointed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the cavern, a loud shriek of anger could be heard echoing around.

“This close…I was this close,” the woman growled.

“Maybe you underestimated them,” the demon said, earning himself a death glare.

“I almost had her…if it hadn’t been for that damn Elder, she would’ve been consumed and her power mine!”<br>
“Ironic. If he had been consumed by his memory, she would’ve been by hers.”<br>
“Irony is overrated,” she hissed through gritted teeth. She waved her hands angrily through the water’s surface, “The next one is a potential killer. I may even be lucky and get two sisters for the price of one with this memory!”<br>
She grinned evilly as an image of Phoebe appeared on the surface.

“Quite poetic that her most painful memory used to be her ultimate fear!”<br>
Well hope this is ok.........dunno when part 6 will be up....cause I have the UPick story to work on!

[Nite Owl]

Part 6


“Have you worked out where we are yet?” Paige asked.

Leo shook his head, “No, but I’ve remembered the spell.”<br>
“Well don’t keep us in suspense!” Piper snapped impatiently, still recovering from her memory.

“It was a spell to make those affected relive painful memories,”<br>
The colour drained from Chris’s face as Leo spoke. “Umm does that mean all of us?” he asked meekly.

“Well that explains why you went back to WWII and Piper was a Valkyrie again” Phoebe interjected, ignoring Chris.

“Ha! So is this umm gonna affect all of us?” Chris asked nervously, a hint of panic making its way onto his face.

“Well, the spell was kind of general, “Leo replied, eyeing Chris suspiciously, “so, it’ll probably affect everyone who was in the room.”<br>
“Maybe it won’t affect me cause I was…well…asleep!”<br>
“I doubt it.”<br>
“What do you know?” Chris muttered angrily.

Piper rolled her eyes at the two of them and focused on trying to get back on subject. “Why would this demon do something like this?”<br>
Leo’s attention moved from Chris back to the girls. “I think this is the work of a stronger power…”

“Like?” Paige queried.

“I’m not sure yet,”<br>
“Now there’s a surprise!” Chris mumbled sarcastically.

Paige and Phoebe sent warning looks his way but only received a shrug from the witch-whitelighter.

Suddenly the scenery began to change around them once again.

“Here we go again…” Piper groaned.

Colours swirled together as images began to form. Everything appeared as if it were spinning and felt like if you were going round and round on a Merry-Go-Round. The images slowly began to sharpen and everyone gasped at the scene before them.

“We’re…home?” Piper managed to stutter out in shock.

“It’s another illusion created by…”

“One of our memories…got it!” Phoebe said tightly, finishing the sentence for Leo.

“Whose memory happened in the Manor then?” Paige asked.

Behind them Chris shifted uncomfortably and looked down at his feet but went unnoticed by the girls and Leo.

“Well, it’s either you, Phoebe or Chris’s, “Piper said, looking around the room trying to find something that could give them a clue. “I doubt its Chris’s though! Why would his memory be in the Manor?”<br>
“Yeah! Why would mine be in the Manor?” Chris said with a nervous laugh, all the while trying to avoid eye-contact with anyone.

“So, Phoebe or Paige?” Leo asked no one in particular.

“Err guys!?!”

Piper, Phoebe and Leo turned around at the sound of Paige’s slightly scared and surprised voice.

“Oh my god,” Piper gasped, “Wha…What is…..What’s wrong with you two?” she spluttered, as she took in her youngest sister and their whitelighter.

Paige looked over at Chris or rather straight through him. Both she and the younger witch-whitelighter were almost completely transparent.

“Well, now you mention it, I do feel a bit…”Chris looked at his hand, waving it in front of him, “faint!”<br>
The others just glared at him and Piper rolled her eyes at his joke and then turned to her ex-husband for answers.

“Leo, why…what’s happened?”<br>
“I…I don’t know.”<br>
“I think it’s safe to say this isn’t Paige’s memory” Chris said, frowning at the echo in his voice.

“Then its Phoebe’s” Paige needlessly stated, an echo also in her voice.

“That doesn’t explain why you two look….like you do!” Phoebe responded.

“Maybe it’s because this memory happened before Paige and Chris were around?” Leo spoke up thoughtfully.

Piper frowned at this,” but if that is true, then why were we all part of your memory?”

“I don’t know,” Leo replied slightly frustrated, getting fed up being asked questions he didn’t know the answers too, “you took the places of other people that had been present at the time.”<br>
“Well, I wasn’t there when Piper went all…loco…on everyone” Chris pointed out, unconsciously taking a step back from Piper.

Leo sighed in frustration, “but you were still actually in our lives” *unfortunately* he added silently, “otherwise Piper wouldn’t have become a valkyrie in the first place!”<br>
“Hey, I’m not the one who took away her emotions…” Chris growled angrily, the echo in his voice making him sound even angrier.

“Well, I wouldn’t have had to do that if you hadn’t…”

“Oh my god shut the hell up!” Piper yelled, “The both of you” she added looking pointedly at the two of them.

“But…” Chris started and then realised his error.

“Don’t you but me young man!” Piper yelled again, causing Chris to cringe and lower his head to look at his shoes, “Can we focus on getting through Phoebe’s memory please? Thank you!”<br>
“I’m still not sure what memory this is…”Phoebe began.

She was interrupted by a bright flash of light and her, Chris and Leo vanished from view leaving Piper and a transparent Paige standing in the hallway.

Paige looked over at her eldest sister and frowned. Piper was standing opened mouth, gaping at the dark haired women and man; dressed in a doctor’s coat; that had just appeared next to them.

“Piper, are you ok?”<br>
“Prue?” Piper managed in a really soft whisper that only Paige picked up.

“Prue? This is Prue….oh no!”<br>

[Nite Owl]

Meanwhile, Phoebe, Leo and a transparent Chris appeared in a dark, candle lit cavern.

“Are we in the underworld?” Chris asked, his voice echoing even more in the cavern.

“Looks like it” Leo replied.

“But why are we……Cole!?!” Phoebe gasped, as he formerly dead husband walked into the cavern.

“He knows. About you, about us,” Cole said, oblivious to Phoebe’s surprise.

“Cole? As in demon boyfriend…vanquished three times Cole?” Chris asked, coming to the conclusion that Cole couldn’t see him.

“You know about Cole?” Leo whispered suspiciously, coming to the same conclusion as Chris.

“Hello! From the fu-ture!” he replied, pointed at his self with both hands.

“What do you mean?” Phoebe said, addressing Cole.

“He’s offering a deal. He’ll get Tempus to reset time if you stay…here,” Cole replied solemnly.

“Oh no…”Phoebe paled and he hands began to shake violently.

“Phoebe, are you alright?” Chris asked, trying to make out what his aunt was muttering.

“No, please not this memory – I don’t want this one!”<br>
“What one?”<br>
“Phoebe?” Cole’s concerned voice broke through to her and she looked up at him. “He said it was the only way to bring one of your sisters back to life.”<br>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


“They?” the man dressed in the doctor’s coat asked.

“Yeah, demons. Uh, more specifically, Shax.” The dark haired woman – Prue replied. “He was the source’s assassin.”<br>
“Hold it, I get it! This is a practical joke, right? Do you have a hidden camera here? My second wife put you up to this? Ah, it’s just like her” the man said, all the while laughing nervously.

“Ah poor guy, “Paige said, “hasn’t even been attacked and he’s already crazy!”<br>
“O...o...okay, Dr. Griffiths, listen to me,” Prue said, giving the man a funny look, “this is anything but…” She stopped talking altogether and shuddered, looking over her shoulder like she thought there was something there.

“Whoa…creepy.”<br>
Piper heard Paige gasp in shock and looked over at her puzzled.

“What?”

Thinking Piper was talking to her; after all there was no one else present that she could be addressing; Prue shook her head. “I don’t know, I just felt a chill” she said, “Phoebe?” she called up the stairs, waiting for a response from her youngest sister but none came.

“Oh that was freaky,” Paige said, “there was this dark shadow…thingy. It particularly tapped her on the shoulder!”<br>
“Phoebe are you there?” Prue called again, more urgently this time.

“Where is Phoebe?” Paige asked Piper.

Piper leaned closer to her transparent sister and responded in a low whisper so Prue couldn’t hear. “Underworld.”<br>
Just then Phoebe, Leo and a still transparent but quite fed up Chris appeared next to them.

“Or not…”

“We’re not supposed to be here,” Phoebe said, panic beginning to show in her voice, “It didn’t happen like this!”<br>
“I’m confused” Chris said, not liking the fact that he didn’t know what was happening.

“Right there with ya!” Paige agreed.

“Phoebe?” Prue called in the direction of the stairs again, oblivious to the new arrivals.

“Well I’m guessing she can’t see you guys either,” Paige said, again needlessly pointing out the obvious.

“Maybe whoever did this just wants us to watch what happens?” Leo suggested, looking from Piper to Phoebe in concern, He was worried how seeing this particular event would affect the two of them.

“But…but…I never saw what happened before” Phoebe said in a small voice.

Suddenly a large tornado burst through the open Manor doors and everyone present turned to face it in shock and fear. It was in this moment that Paige realised what demon this was and what was about to happen.

“I’m guessing that’s not you normal everyday tornado?” Chris said more as a statement than a question.

“Phoebe, where are you?” Prue’s panic-ridden voice shrieked.

“Here…I’m right…here!” Phoebe cried in vain.

“Oh crap!” Piper groaned, just before the tornado knocked herself and Prue to the ground.

A clap of thunder reverberated around the Manor as the tornado began the calm down and took the form of a grey demon with a shock of white hair and dark, hollow eyes. There before them stood Shax – the only demon to have ever killed a charmed one.

“Dear god!” Dr. Griffiths managed, looking wide-eyed at the large demon.

“No!” Prue yelled, pulling herself up from the floor and pushing the doctor out of the way.

“No. Prue. Don’t!” Phoebe cried, her eyes glistering with unshed tears.

Shax grinned menacingly. He formed a large energy ball and threw it straight at Prue. The ball hit her in the chest and sent her careering straight through a wall.

Chris’s eyes widened and realisation dawned on his face. He knew what event this was now.

“Oh god” “No!” he heard his two aunts cry out.

“Piper?” the panic in his father’s voice caused him to take his eyes off of the prone body of the aunt he never knew and over to where his mother was slowly getting up from the floor.

“I don’t want to go over there,” Piper cried in frustration, as if she didn’t have control of her body at this particular moment, “no…don’t get up! Stay down damn it!”<br>
Unfortunately, Piper got up and found herself directly in front of Shax, who was preparing to throw another energy ball.

“Oh no you don’t!” Chris shouted and moved to stand in-between Piper and Shax

“What are you doing?” Piper asked.

“Helping…” he replied matter-of-factly.

She shook her head and sighed, “I don’t think…”

Just then Shax threw the energy ball towards them. The ball passed straight through Chris’s transparent body and connected with Piper’s stomach, sending her crashing through a wall landing next to her elder sister.

“Urgh!” Chris groaned, rubbing the area where the ball had passed through him, “that felt…weird!” He turned around and saw Piper lying deadly still next to Prue. “Mom!” he cried in a harsh whisper and ran to Piper’s side.

“What are you?” Dr.Griffiths asked as Shax approached him.

Shax grinned and tilted his head. “The end!” he growled out, throwing an energy ball at the doctor. The doctor hit the window behind him, breaking the glass and landing on the sill – dead.

“Geez…how cliché is that,” Paige muttered, “The end!”<br>
Once the doctor was dead and Shax had surveyed his destruction he reformed into a tornado and twisted out of the doors. The Manor doors slammed shut behind him, shattering the windows.

“Leo…heal her!” Phoebe cried, running over to where Piper and Prue lay.

Leo nodded and moved over to heal Piper. He was shocked when he felt someone grab his arm and stop him.

“No Leo!” Phoebe cried, tears threatening to fall down her face, as she gripped his arm, “Prue! Heal Prue first!”<br>
“Phoebe!” Leo gasped in shock, looking at her like she’d grown another head.

“Phoebe he can’t do that!” Paige cried, equally as shocked as Leo by Phoebe’s outburst.

“Yes he can…heal her. Heal Prue!”<br>
“Are you crazy?” Chris angry voice rang out from next to her, his own eyes glistening. It was then they all realised that Paige and Chris were solid again. “No way! He’s gotta heal Piper!”<br>
“No!” Phoebe cried, taking no notice of the desperation on her future nephew’s face, “Leo heal Prue!”<br>

[Nite Owl]

Leo, don’t listen to her. Heal Piper!”<br>
Phoebe growled angrily and grabbed Leo’s arm pulling him towards Prue, “Prue!”<br>
“Piper!” Chris snapped, grabbing Leo’s other arm and pulling him towards Piper.

“Prue!”<br>
“Piper!”<br>
“PRUE!” Phoebe screamed, tears falling freely down her face now. “Don’t you understand? I want my big sister back!”<br>
“She’s already dead!”<br>
“But he can save her now...I’m not going to lose her again. I couldn’t bear that!”<br>
“Yeah well. I…I…I’m not losing M…Piper!” Chris shouted back, so angrily that he almost gave himself away to Leo.

“What do you mean by that?” Leo asked suspicion evident in his voice.

“I…ermm…”

“Chris…” Paige suddenly cried in alarm, “You’re transparent again!”<br>
“What?” Chris looked down at himself and sure enough he was transparent, even more this time. “Piper!” he hissed frantically. “Leo, you’ve gotta heal her…now!”<br>
“Please Leo…heal Prue!” Phoebe whined, too caught up in her pain to notice what was happening.

“Phoebe! Don’t you get it?” Chris snapped, forcing Phoebe to look at him, “Piper’s dying…for real! Do you really want to lose her too?” transparent green eyes bored into her own adding something silently that he hoped she pick up.

“I…oh god!” Phoebe cried, realising what Chris was saying, “I’m sooo sorry. Leo, heal Piper quick!”<br>
Leo, however, was already in the progress of healing Piper. It seemed to take ages before she stirred, showing them just how close they were to actually losing her.

“Wha…what happened?” she asked, groaning as she held her head in her hands.

“You almost died,” Paige said softly.

“But…I thought the idea was to make us watch and relive our memories,” Phoebe said meekly, not believing what she had almost done.

“Yes” Leo confirmed, “And Piper was almost killed then. By putting us in our past selves places she could’ve died!”<br>
“You mean…I almost killed her?”<br>
“Yes!” Chris snapped angrily.

“Chris!!!” Piper, Paige and Leo yelled.

“Well it’s true!” he mumbled, folding his arms across his chest.

“Oh I’m a horrible person!” Phoebe whispered, watching as Prue’s body disappeared and the scenery reverted back to the bleak whiteness.

“No you’re not Phoebe,” Paige said softly, putting a comforting arm around her sister.

“Yeah! You only wanted Prue back,” Piper added.

“But I almost got you killed Piper!”<br>
“But I’m still here, and I always will be, right?”<br>
Chris scoffed, “Yeah right!” he muttered, wiping a hand across his face.

“What was that?” Piper asked.

“Oh nothing…”


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Back in the cavern the woman slammed her hands against the wall.

“Those damn whitelighters!” she shrieked, splashing the water’s surface which had Chris’s image on it.

“Why did he fade the second time?” the demon asked curiously.

“What are you on about?”<br>
“The whitelighter,” he said, pointing at Chris’s image, “he faded a second time and then became solid once the witch was healed!”<br>
“What does it matter? If you hadn’t recited the spell when the whitelighters were around, I would have the Charmed Ones by now!”<br>
“Don’t try blaming this on me! You still have two remaining!”<br>
“Two to go!” the woman mused, “The youngest sister! What memories does she hold?” She waved her hand across the water and Paige’s face appeared.
