Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Charmed or any of the characters from the show. Eliana Blackwell, however, is mine. For anyone who has NOT ever seen the show, be warned, there WILL be spoilers and it would be helpful to at least look up a summary of what the show is about as I don't know how much time I am going to spend on explaining all of the background details. This story starts of in the middle of season 6 and will follow the show script except where I deviate. As always, feel free to like, share, and comment any thoughts :)
I managed to find this spell in the Book of Shadows. You NEED to use it to go back in time and stop him from ever turning evil. Good luck!
~ The Shadow Queen
Chris breathed heavily as he read over the note. For months now, he had been receiving mysterious notes from someone calling themselves the 'Shadow Queen'. They were clearly someone who had managed to infiltrate high within Wyatt's ranks as their information had always been helpful in the Resistance's attempts to thwart Wyatt's plans.
Chris let out another sigh. He knew he had to follow the instructions in the note. It was the only way to save the future. He got up and went to go find his Fiancé, Bianca. With her help, he was going to go back to the past.
Past:
Chris stood in the attic flipping through the pages of the Book of Shadows. The 'neurotic whitelighter' paused as he landed on a promising page. He read over the description of the demon and then added his name to the growing list of suspects.
For the past few months since he'd arrived at the Halliwell manor and become the Charmed Ones whitelighter, Chris had been solely focused on trying to find the demon who would turn his big brother evil. He rubbed his eyes and continued to rift through the pages desperately. He knew whoever turned Wyatt managed to do so before he was born and he was running out of time.
He took one last look through the book before closing it with a thud and orbing to P3, the club that Piper owned.
"Paige, where you been? You're late." Piper said noticing her orange-haired sister finally walking up to the bar.
"I know, I'm sorry, I got tied up." Paige replied as she sat down next to her two sisters.
"Where? At Richard's?" Phoebe piped up as she lifted her head from her Chinese-American dictionary. Her current boyfriend/boss, Jason Dean, was currently in Hong Kong and she had recently taken up the task of learning some basic words.
"No. I was at work. Get your mind out of the gutter, missy." Paige said, glaring at Phoebe.
"Hey, you're the one who orbs home to find lingerie." Phoebe responded, lifting her hands in the air innocently.
"Two times, I did that twice!"
"Yes, it's about the only time we see you anymore!" Said Piper.
"Why did I come here? To get picked on?" Paige threw her hands up in the air and faked getting up to leave.
"Because we love you." Phoebe responded, sticking her tongue out at her sister.
"We kinda miss ya." Piper chimed in.
"I am not at Richard's that much. Fine, okay, maybe I am. But, you know I am just an orb away if you need help." Paige said, a little flustered as she blushed.
"Yeah, the thing is we've just gotta be careful because if we stay too far away from each other, demons take advantage. We've learned that lesson the hard way a few times." Piper said calmly.
"I know, I know, I get it. I just really don't want to think of us living together in fifty years."
"Ah, twenty, thirty years tops."
"We can always move to Hong Kong so I could see Jason whenever I want to." Phoebe said grinning.
"How do you say "dream on" in Chinese?"
Phoebe squinted and flipped through her dictionary intently. "Ni Tsai Tsua Mung."
"Impressive," Piper laughed as she glanced at Phoebe.
"Berlitz. Okay, what about you, missy? Spill it."
"Spill what?"
"Come on, you and Greg. Put out any fires lately?" Phoebe wiggles her brows up and down energetically at Piper.
"Is that supposed to be a subtle fireman reference?"
"Yeah, you like it?"
"Wait a minute, you're going out with a firefighter?" Paige frowned in confusion.
"Proof positive, you haven't been around much." Piper said looking pointedly at Paige.
"Let's see. They've been seeing each other for about three weeks and someone, I won't say who, but it's not the fireman, is avoiding taking it to the next step," Phoebe explained to Paige.
"I am not avoiding, I'm just a little reluctant. That's all."
"My dear, it is time to get back in the saddle." Paige circled an arm in the air to symbolize the action of her words.
"Now a cowboy reference," Piper said, rolling her eyes at her sister's antics.
"Piper, you just need to relax and let it happen." Phoebe advised.
"Yeah, easy for you to say, you weren't the one sleeping with an angel for three years."
"Yeah, but you were nervous when you and Leo first started, you know. I seem to remember that you used to freeze him during all the good parts, right? Hey, maybe you should, uh..." Phoebe wiggles her brows suggestively again.
"No, I'm not freezing Greg. I'm so nervous I'll probably blow him up."
"Well..."
"Gutter, gutter, gutter." Piper said shaking her head furiously at Phoebe.
Re three sisters looked up as Chris walked up to them. "What are you guys talking about?"
"Stuff," Phoebe answered. Chris looked at her than started to walk away.
"Hey, where are you going?" Paige asked.
" I gotta go work on the next demon...stration." Chris replied, adding the last part as he remembered that they were in public.
"Chris, why don't you relax and come have a drink with us?" Phoebe cried out in frustration as she looked at their whitelighter. For the past couple of weeks he had been hounding them over and over again, forcing them to go after a number of different demons.
"Thanks, but I didn't come here to relax." Chris said, shaking his head tiredly and walking towards his room. He had needed a place to stay and Piper had agreed to let him stay in the back room of her club. It wasn't the best living situation but it worked well enough under the circumstances.
"That is one bitchy Whitelighter." Phoebe said shaking her head as they watched him leave.
"You're telling me."
"Hey, Piper, why don't you go talk to the guilt machine over there," Paige suggested.
As Chris walked into his room, he froze, seeing a familiar girl standing in front of him.
"Bianca. I don't understand. What are you doing here?" His brows furrowed in confusion. He had left his fiancé in the future, so what was she doing her in the past with him?
"Shh, there'll be time to explain later. But for now..." Bianca stepped forward and ran her finger down his chest seductively. As Chris leaned in for a kiss, however, she shoved her hand straight through his chest, using her powers to start draining him of his own.
"You know, all work and no - hey!" Piper shouted as she walked through the door and spotted what was going on. Bianca quickly removed her hand from Chris's chest but Was to late. Piper had already blown her up with her blasting power.
"Are you okay?" Piper rushed over to where Chris had fallen down.
"Yeah, I think so." He said getting up and trying to play it off. On the inside, thought, he was hurting bad. Not just from the physical pain and the drain on his magic, but from the mental confusion his mind was suffering at the appearance of the girl he loved.
"What happened? Who is she?" Piper asked.
"No idea," Chris lied. He was always lying to the sisters and Leo. He couldn't let them find out anything about him; he was too worried about how it might affect the future negatively...future consequences he'd tell them over and over.
"Is that the mark?" Paige pointed at a page in the Book of Shadows. The three sisters had gone home and were now flipping through the Book trying to identify Chris's attacker. Chris and Leo stood watching them from the opposite side of the room.
Piper shook her head. "No, it looked more like a bird."
"A bird. So you're saying maybe the Audubon society sent the demon after us?" Paige joked.
Piper just shook her head. "Just keep looking."
"Guys, I'm telling you I'm fine, don't sweat it."
"You sure she wasn't a Darklighter?" Leo suggested, trying to be helpful.
"I'm sure," Piper said.
Phoebe tilted her head with curiosity as she glanced at Leo. "What else would be after a Whitelighter?"
"I don't know, that's what worries me.
"She's gone. Piper blew her away, what's the big deal?" Chris interjected. He really didn't want to dwell on Bianca or for the Charmed Ones to find out ho he knew her. It would just lead to more questions.
"The big deal is someone tried to kill you, Chris." Phoebe said, looking at him in shock at his indifference.
"Look at me, not a scratch, nothing!"
Leo walked over to stand closer to Piper, Phoebe, and Paige. "You know, how did she get that close to you, anyway, if you didn't even know who she was?"
Chris took a step and one of the floorboards squeaked.
"We really oughta fix that, you know." He said, trying to change the subject.
"Come on, Chris, who's after you?" Leo wasn't falling for it.
"Has it crossed your mind that maybe she wasn't after me? Maybe she was trying to get to them." He tried to switch tactics and pointed at the sisters.
Paige nodded in agreement. "It kind of makes sense."
"Finally, somebody's listening. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some work to take care of." With that said, Chris left the room.
"He's not telling the truth," Leo said as he watched Chris's back exit down the stairs.
"Leo, maybe there's nothing to tell." Paige pointed out. It wasn't news to them that Leo suspected Chris of something. He hadn't trusted him since the day the whitelighter had first shown up to help the sisters fight the Titans.
Leo looked hopefully at Phoebe. "Could you sense anything?"
"From Chris? No, I can never sense anything from him."
"What are you thinking?" Piper said looking at her ex-husband.
"I'm thinking that if we can figure out who she was, we might be able to find out who Chris is."
Paige sighed. "Well, we're not gonna find it in here. At least not until we have more to go on. So guys, you know where I'm gonna be if you need me.
"Yeah, I gotta go too." Phoebe joined in and the two started heading towards the door.
Before they managed to leave the room, however, a strong gust of wind swept through and a portal in the shape of a triquetra opened up on the side of the back wall. Piper, Phoebe, Page, and Leo all looked at the portal in surprise. What was going on?
The next thing they knew, a girl came stumbling through. She glanced back as the portal disappeared.
"Did it work?" She mumbled to herself, but they still caught her words.
"Did what work? Who the hell are you?" Piper shouted in frustration.
The girl looked at them and smiled. "Well, seeing as you're all here, I guess it must have!" Though she was smiling, Phoebe could see a glint of sadness behind it as the smile was clearly just for show. Phoebe tried to get a read on her, but her emotions were just as guarded as Chris's were, if not more.
"I repeat, who are you, and what are you doing in my house!" Piper exclaimed.
"Well, um...my name is Eliana. I'm here looking for Chris? I need to warn him about something!"
"Oh no, don't tell me you're from the future too!" Piper groaned loudly.
"Yeah, just about twenty years or so, look I'm sorry, but I don't have time to explain. Is Chris here? I need to warn him about Bianca! He sent her to bring him back! And he doesn't know that she's turned on him! I had to come! There's no one else left who knew about his plan to come here in the first place! Please tell me he's alright?"
