The Almighty Choice: A Charmed Fanfiction

Chapter 20: Something Wicca This Way Goes

PIPER'S POV

"Try again!" Phoebe said as Piper flicked her wrists, trying to use her power to get the door to open. "Oh for crying out loud!" Piper said and did it again, throwing everything she had at the door. In a loud bang it exploded and opened, revealing an empty attic. At that moment Paige orbed into the room, a breathless look on her face. "The Elders dont know where she is." Paige said and shrugged.

"Which means shes in the Underworld." Piper stated flatly. "Then thats where we're going." Phoebe finished. "With no plan!?" Paige asked incrediously. Piper moved and grabbed Phoebe's hand, moving and taking Paige's hand as well. "Thats how we work best." Piper said "now lets go, theres no time to waist." Piper said. Paige grasped Phoebes hand in hers and then orbed them all to the Underworld, Piper wondering about whether she was right. Would this work without a plan?

CHRIS' POV

Chris lay on his bed in the apartment, clearing his thoughts. He had spent the last few hours recooperating after nearly being ripped in two by his humanity. Thats all over now, I feel nothing.

Which was true, Chris felt nothing. He had blocked his emotions and in doing so cut off his humanity from his mind. I am free he thought. He closed his eyes, sighing. He knew he had work to do but he decided that he was eligiable to take a day off, to try and get back to being himself. I deserve a break.

I gripped the potion tightly in my hand. This is it. No going back now. I had broken back into the Source''s lair to mix my potion, knowing that the Elders wouldnt be able to find me here and that the Charmed Ones would come looking for me down here. Leading them away from the battle that was about to take place.

"Ok, Leah. Lets put an end to all of this." Adrenaline coursed through my system as I closed my eyes and blinked back to Chris' apartment. I opened my eyes to find him lying on his bed, his eyes closed. Is he sleeping? I moved closer to him and smiled softly to myself. He looks as if nothing had ever gone wrong, as if he was still the old Chris...I was hit with a wave of pain as my mind reminded me that the old Chris was gone. Your Chris would never cheat on you a voice in my mind reminded me. I frowned, I cant think about that now...I have to do this...

"Chris." I whispered. His eyes shot open and he sat up, his gaze meeting mine. "Leah!?" He said incrediously. I put on a some-what fake smile and moved closer to him. "Hi" I said. "What are you doing here?" He asked as he stood up. I looked him over, my fingers aching to touch him, my body dying from the need to be close to him. Soon I thought even if it wont be real...

"I came here for you." I murmured. His brows came together in confusion. "Me?" I nodded my head and stepped forward, pulling him down to me to kiss him. He inhaled sharply and quickly were his arms wrapped around me. My nerves came to life as he touched me and a part of me felt whole again. I kept us lip locked as we kissed passionately and blinked us back to the attic of the manor.

I pulled away from him abruptly and stepped a few paces back, a few tears in my eyes. "What-? Whats going on!?" I could hear the Source's power enter into his voice and blinked around him quickly, dropping crystals to keep him locked in a cage.

"Im sorry" I whispered as his face recognized what I was doing. "No! No Leah, please! You cant! Please dont kill me!" I shook my head and shot out my hand, focusing as I slowly drew the Source's energy into me. I gasped as I was hit with a slimy feeling, one that started to choke me. I coughed and fell to my knees as the Source's power swelled within me, looking up at Chris before I started to recite the spell that would transfer the Source's powers from him to me.
