Summary: What are the implications when Chris was reverted into a young boy and how will they cope?

I made Chris younger in this fic, 16. I always pity him you know, with the heavy burden.

Chris sighed for the umpteenth time. He had spent the past half an hour trying to convince the sisters to go on a demon hunt but to no avail. They gave him the usual we haves lives, we are busy and we are tired of vanquishing so many demons speech.

As if he weren't he thought but they just couldn't understand just how important it was to vanquish the demons. These demons could be the ones that turn Wyatt evil, no they didn't know about that and he didn't plan on telling them. It was not as if the sisters trusted him completely. Phoebe just got her empathic powers and was already able to sense his conflicted feelings if he was not cautious about guarding his feelings, Paige make no attempt to hide her feelings about him being a "stud" whitelighter as she so called him, piper was very friendly towards him in the beginning because of the spell that Leo had casted. After the spell wore off, she was very cold towards him. It hurt him to think that his own mother disliked him and blamed him for her husband's absence. Well she may not have declared him her marriage destroyer but knowing his mom, he knew she blamed him and her displeasure towards him only prove his belief. No, he couldn't think of her as his mother. His mum and aunts loved him more than anything in the world and they wouldn't treat him like they did now; like some stranger who disrupted their lives. No they weren't his family. His family died when he was fourteen. Tears threatened to fall at the thought of that fateful day. It had been his birthday and should have been a joyous occasion but no, fate just had the most morbid sense of humor to mock humans. They were not his family, not the people whom he grew up with, not yet. Every time he would hide behind and just look at her. She just reminded him too much of his mother and everytime he saw her looking so sad, his heart broke too. He always wanted to just run to her and tell her that everything was alright or let her hug him and comfort him like when he was little cos he himself was tired of all the lies and secrets. Sometimes he even wondered what she would think or do if she knew who he truly was, or what his deceased mother would think when she learn of all the lies that her baby had been telling. He admit that he was the one who sent Leo to Valhalla but he could never let anyone know of that fact. It was just the excuse that they could use to change their whitelighter. Sending Leo to Valhalla was so that he could gain the girls' trust and at the same time get his father out of his sight. He couldn't stand seeing his father. He hated the man for his absence during his childhood but most of all for failing to turn up when his mom needed healing. Just thinking of him made Chris seethed with hatred. So it was in a way killing two birds with one stone. His relationship with the sisters was improving. Of course that was until Leo managed to leave Valhalla and come back accusing Chris of sending him to Valhalla which Chris unarguably denied.

"Were you listening to a word that I was saying? Chrissssss………."

"Huh" Chris said as Paige's voice snapped him out of his reverie and he collected his thoughts, "what did you say".

"As I was saying…" but was interrupted by phoebe who had been observing Chris for a long time now. She had gotten this huge emotional vibe from him and from what she just saw she could tell that he was struggling with his emotions just a while ago.

"Are you okay" she gently asked

"Yeah, I'm fine"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive. So as I was saying about the demons….."

"Chris, maybe you should take a break, you know relax a little"

Of course, He, of all people should be relaxing. He was just sixteen, for god's sake. People his age should be out enjoying the time of their life their youth. Who ever said he liked doing this. Even if was not a big fan of studying, what he would give now to be in school with his friends, training for his football games. He used to be captain of his high school football team as well as the basketball team, president of the student council as well as a high achiever in grades but all this responsibilities were nothing compared to his current mission-saving his brother. How did he even let anybody convince him to take up the mission, right cos he's a halliwell, the only one that Wyatt would never suspect of betraying him and the only one with the power to do so. Power, how ironic, the reason for his brother's turning and his current predicament. But he could not think of relaxing, it was selfish. At least he had a happy childhood despite his father's absence. The kids in his future did not have a childhood or a semblance to one. He highly doubt they even knew the meaning of that word. The poor kids had to live in constant fear.

"You know if you were actually the one doing the vanquishing, you wouldn't be so enthusiastic about the demons"

Oh believe me, thought Chris; if Leo wasn't so constantly on my tail, I wouldn't even be standing here asking for your help. He just couldn't risk getting caught by Leo using his powers, who would then conveniently recycle Chris' soul or have him sent back to the future. Chris had the right mind to blow Leo up but that would mean exposing the fact that he was a witch. You would be shocked if you ever see me vanquishing a demon or demons for that matter or just know of my powers, aunt paige, Chris mused.

"Where's Phoebe?" Chris asked suddenly.

"She had to meet the deadline, some of us actually have work" Paige answered.

"What! What about the demon hunt?"

"The demon hunt is postponed till further notice. I gotta run too, temp job"

With that she disappeared in a cloud of swirling orbs.

"Did I hear something about a demon hunt" said piper as she walked into the attic.

"I was just trying to convince your sisters to go on a demon hunt"

"Chris, I know you're concerned but could you just cut us some slack"

"But."

"No buts, I promised if you just let us rest a while we would go with you on another demon hunt on Friday"

"Did I hear an invitation to a demon hunt? How about I do one right now?" an unfamiliar voice called out. Chris and piper turned around to see a very ugly demon with many talons protruding from his skin. Before either of them could react, the demon threw a potion and it landed on Chris' feet. It exploded on contact and threw piper onto the floor. Piper looked up just in time to see smoke dissipating to reveal a small boy.

"Chris?" Piper called out.

"Mommy?" the boy answered in his tiny, scared voice.

This is my first time tell me what you think and if I should continue, I always had a few ideas but did not know how to write. I know there are many Chris fics and they all seemed the same but I just loved his character.
