DON'T READ THIS PARAGRAPH IF YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT BONFIRE NIGHT IS. For all those of you who don't know what bonfire night is I will tell you? This is a British holiday, which celebrates Guy Fawkes trying to blow up the houses of Parliament on the 5th of November 1605. Of course he never succeeded in doing do. So every year on the 5th of November people around Britain set off fireworks and have big bonfires, which they put a dummy Guy Fawkes on top and we eat Bonfire toffee apples. Also the family tend to get together and celebrate this night, and there are also a lot of Bonfire parties for people to go to.
Full summary: the charmed ones live in England and celebrate Bonfire night, as does Chris. This story takes place on week after Prince Charmed, on Bonfire night, and Piper has still not let him back in the house. So obviously they don't know who he is and refuse to believe that Wyatt is evil in the future. Bonfire night is Chris's favourite day of the year and this will explore his feelings towards this day and the charmed ones. This will end up being a revelation fic. Oh yeh I have decided to set it where I live in Rotherham which is near Sheffield in England.
Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed.
Bonfire night
Chapter 1: thoughts in the park
Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder and treason
should ever be forgot...
I just can't seem to get that silly old rhyme out of my head, because today is Bonfire Night, my favourite day of the year. All I want to do is go out there and watch lots of fireworks go off and warm my hands by the humungous bonfire that my family or friends have every year.
Not this year, no, I have nowhere to go and nowhere to celebrate it with. Sure my family is alive and well, but they absolutely hate me. Last week my mother, my own mother, threw me out the house and told me that she never ever wanted to see me anymore. What the hell am I supposed to do now; I am left out in the cold on my favourite day of the year. Where no one cares about me, the only people I know are my parents and my aunts.
Even in the future the resistance and I always found away to have a big bonfire night celebration, even if the world had gone to hell. We might not have been able to set off fireworks but we always managed to have a big bonfire somewhere. It was the one night where we could have fun and not be noticed by Wyatt's minions, because the bonfire would just look like any other thing that was burning in the world. My best friend Vicky would always make us toffee apples and we would eat them while sitting next to the bonfire. But no one came back with me which leaves me alone here with no one to be with tonight.
All I feel like doing right now is breaking down and crying and wishing all my troubles away. I have nothing to do, without being allowed access to the book; so I can't go and hunt down demons that are after Wyatt. Even if I could that is not what I would want to do tonight, tonight has always been special to me, it was the night in the future where we could stop worrying about demons just for a few hours and celebrate. When I was younger it was the night when the whole family and all the family friends would come over to the manor and celebrate together.
No, not this year. Not for me. My family will continue to celebrate without me. They will have fun setting of the fireworks without even a second thought for their son and nephew "Chris". I know that they don't know who I am but it still hurts to know what they are doing right now and not be a part of it.
As I sit in my local Clifton Park, only a mile or so away from the manor, I can't help but cry, when I remember all the good memories I have of this night. Then I remember that I will be doing nothing special tonight, except from going to P3 and sitting on my own in the back room and maybe reading a book.
As my tears start flowing faster and faster as time goes on and it gets closer and closer to five o'clock when Uncle Darryl and his family will be arriving at the manor to start the party. I can't help but think about what would happen if I went and orbed to the manor and knocked on the door and told them who I was. What if they thought I was lying and kicked me out again, I don't think I can take that kind of rejection. They are my family they should be able to tell that I am Piper and Leo's son, just by looking at me. Then I started crying even harder from fear of rejection.
Then I looked at my watch it was 3 o'clock, I'll give it another hour and see how I feel then. I'll either orb to P3 or to the manor. One way I will be certain to spend the night alone, never knowing what would happen if I'd gone and told them. The other I could potentially have my loving parents and Aunts back and have the best Bonfire Night in years. On the other hand they may not believe me and call me a liar and kick me out or even worse Piper might blow me up and then I would be dead.
