After Death
Disclaimer: Don't own Charmed. I do own any unfamiliar characters but I own little else. I wish I owned Charmed but sadly I don't BLAH!BLAH!BLAH! On with the story… Oh! I also own a shinny penny and a piece of string!
Paige held her newborn nephew tightly in her arms , afraid to let go. She was trying desperately not to cry. The previous day she had witnessed the adult version of her nephew murdered at the hands of Gideon. He had been stabbed in the gut and he died in his father's arms. It seemed a cruel irony that her nephew had died on the very day he was born. Worst of all Piper didn't know. It would rip her up inside if she were to learn that she had, in a way, outlived her son. She put aside her grief for a moment to ponder the question that had been nagging her. When Chris died, his body disappeared. Where did he go?
Chris remembered the pain. It had been blinding, excruciating, beyond endurance. Then came the darkness, threatening to engulf him. He knew his father was beside him, telling him to hold on. He also knew that he couldn't hold on. It was time to go. The darkness then became absolute and the pain stopped. He felt himself floating gently, peacefully. 'If this is dying', he thought, 'it's not so bad.' He sensed someone near him. Bright light stung the back of his eyelids. He slowly opened his eyes coming face to face with a 50 year old Phoebe Halliwell. "Rise and shine sleepy head", said his aunt cheerfully.
A teenage girl with short black hair and sparkling brown eyes rushed into the room. The girl strangely reminded Chris of his aunt Phoebe. "Chris, get out of bed or you'll miss your birthday breakfast", said the girl. Chris only then realized that he was in his childhood room and not in the Halliwell Museum. It was the room he shared with Wyatt before…he changed. He noticed that Wyatt's bed was on the other side of the room. When he didn't respond to her, the girl huffed impatiently out of the room. He gave his aunt a curious look.
He asked, "Who the hell is that?! And where the hell am I!
Today they would tell Piper. Phoebe and Paige agreed they couldn't keep this from their sister any long. She had a right to know, and Phoebe and Paige couldn't lie any longer. Today they would tell her what really happened to Chris. They found her in the kitchen preparing dinner.
"Piper", said Paige nervously, "we have to tell you something". Piper followed her sisters wordlessly to the conservatory desperate to find out what they'd been hiding.
Phoebe quickly said, " Adult Chris really didn't go back to the future. Gideon murdered him and he died in Leo's arms. After he died he just faded away. We didn't tell you because we didn't want to hurt you." They looked at Piper waiting for some kind of response. For a moment, she was too shocked to say anything. She needed to know if her son was truly destined to die an early death. "We're going 23 years into the future to make sure Chris is o.k." she said. Phoebe and Paige didn't argue. Piper chanted, "Hear these words, Hear the rhyme, Head the hope within my mind, send me forward to where I'll find, what I wish in place and time". A silver blue portal opened on the wall and Piper stepped in, followed reluctantly by Phoebe and Paige… TBC… READ & REVIEW! NO REVIEWS= NO NEW CHAPTERS.
