Charmed fanfiction
One shot
I do not own charmed or mockingbird by Eminem. This is my first fan fiction and would appreciate reviews please.
Chris cut the engine to his hand me down black Land rover and stepped out onto the hard concrete. He could hear her pain in his head her cries of grief but there was no way he could heal that kind of pain he headed up the 12 floors of the estate flats before reaching the 13th floor, Chris had a brief look around as he always did seeing the same dirty stained walls and littered halls. Chris knocked on the door and waited an till he heard the first second and third lock undo and then the most angelic of faces pear around the door her normally floorless face was corrupted by shadows under her eyes and deprived of its natural bright smile, his heart broke as he looked in her haunted eyes .
"Chris." Her voice was exhausted and depleted. Chris embraced her holding her close, her eyes filled with fresh tears as she breathed in his sent.
"Elaina?" a small voice ventured from an open door just inside the flat. Elaina pulled away from Chris and looked back up at him.
"I can't do this Chris. She won't sleep without mom, she just cries and cries. I'm all she has left and i can't provide for her what she needs" Elaina's voice broke as she spoke the last words. Chris looked down at the young witch he had first met at magic school in their 5th year whose way of introducing herself had been to trounce him in attack simulation class, they had been close friends ever since and last year she became his girlfriend.
"Why us Chris, why can't they just leave us alone, mom didn't have any special powers she was just a potion making witch, why attack her, why not me I'm the one with the physical power." Elaina clenched her fists and the cabinet in the hall of the flat started to shake. Chris took her hands in his and looked deep in her eyes.
"It's our destiny Elaina; everything happens for a reason, you know that."
"I know. "
Chris walked over to the open door and saw the four year old girl sitting on her bed tears rolling down her cheeks as if they owned them, cuddling a small bear with a large pink bow around its neck Chris sat down next to the fragile girl and she snuggled onto his lap and leant her head on his chest.
"Chris? "
"Charlie?"
"Chris where's mom? I don't understand why she would leave me and Elaina? Have we been bad?"
"No Charlie, sometimes people just have to leave, we have no choice in going, but your moms in a nice place and watches over you all the time, she will never be far away." Chris's voice was soft and calm as he tried to comfort the young girl gently rocking her in his arms. Elaina watched from the doorway leaning on the frame her eyes puffy and red from the acid tears which didn't seem to stop.
Chris sang quietly into the young girls ears gently swaying her in the rhythm.
"Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We feel how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise momma's gon' be alright"
Elaina slowly placed herself down next to Chris leaning her head on his shoulder allowing the hypnotic song to carry her into her first real sleep since her mother's death.
