Prologue

A few days before his planned return to his own time Chris Halliwell was sitting on a table at Magic school looking at an old picture. He had a secret that he hadn't told his parents or his aunts, another reason he had come back in time. Phoebe saw him sitting there and went over to him. She peered over his shoulder and smiled, "Who's in the picture," she asked as Chris jumped in surprise and stuffed the picture back in his pants.

"Its no one, so how is the spell coming," he asked, trying to deflect her question. Truthfully he wasn't sure he was ready to talk about her, it still hurt a lot.

Phoebe frowned and shook her head, "No, Obviously that's someone special, who was she," she asked him seriously. Even though Chris had taken the Potion and blocked her empathy she could see the pain in his eyes.

Chris closed his eyes for a moment, "Remember how I said I only came back to save Wyatt," he asked softly, when Phoebe nodded he sighed, "I did…sort of…I mean, I did but that wasn't the only reason. I love Wyatt, he's my brother but…s-she was like a sister to me, Her name was Yvanne," he said closing his eyes again as the memories of the last two times he saw her washed over him.

Chris saw Bianca sigh as he paced back and forth, "Chris, Calm down, you know she will come," she said gently as Christ shook his head.

"I don't know Bianca, How can we be sure she will come," he asked and closed his eyes in frustration. He never understood why Yvanne had volunteered to become close to Wyatt. She had never explained to him and truthfully he had always been a little nervous about the answer. He looked up when a swirl of blue light appeared then a rather pretty woman stood in front of them with a stressed smile. "Finally! You're late Yvanne! Where have you been?"

Yvanne sighed, "Chris, calm down, I had to give Wyatt a good reason for me leaving, He's suspicious enough as it is," she said firmly. She began relaying all the information that she had gather then took a deep breath, "I'm going back Chris," she said softly

"Why? You have everything we needed-" Chris began but was cut off.

"Because I can't leave him," Yvanne snapped without thinking then sighed when she saw the shocked looks on Chris and Bianca's faces. She sighed and sat down, "I love him," she whispered. She had been shocked when she realized it and realized she couldn't leave him, "I know there's good in him, there has to be Chris…I couldn't love someone who was completely evil, I know he can be good," she said softly, but you could tell in her voice that she believed it deeply.

Chris stared at Yvanne in horror, he had known Yvanne since she was 5 years old, had been there when they both realized she was half white lighter half witch, She had held his hand at his mothers funeral, had always been there for him and yet he never suspected that she could be in love with his older brother. "Yvanne…He can't be saved…not like this…Nothing can turn him good except to stop what happened to him from happening," he said softly.

"I have to try…I wont tell him what you are planning, I hope you succeed but if you don't I have to keep trying. Chris…I think he loves me too, if he can love then he has good in him. Love is pure and its always good," she told him, not realizing how naïve she sounded, "I'm going back, One of us will succeed," she told him softly and smiled bravely. She hugged him and then Bianca before orbing away. Chris shook his head and looked at Bianca, "She gonna get herself killed," he said, horror showing in his face and voice.

Phoebe looked at him as he told of finding out that his best friend was in love with his brother, she could see the emotions showing on his face, "Chris…what happened to Yvanne," she asked him seriously.

Chris shook his head, "I can't talk about it…but…I could show you," he told her softly and held his hands out to her. Phoebe could see his hands were shaking as she laid her hands on his and gasped as the memory raced through her mind

Chris and Bianca were a week away from implementing their plan of sending him back in time when suddenly blue orbs swirled in front of them and Yvanne fell to the ground. There was a huge burn mark just over her heart and she was barely conscious. She smiled when she saw Chris, "Hey, There's my BFF," she whispered as tear slid from one of her violet/blue eyes.

Bianca ran to try to grab some medical items but Chris kneeled next to his best friend and held her hand, "What happened? Did Wyatt…" his voice trailed off when she nodded weakly

"I made him angry…I didn't mean to…C-Chris…I-I'm pregnant…W-will you change it, our f-future?" she asked as she tried to stay awake.

"I'll change it…I promise, we'll save all three of you," he whispered

"G-good…Chris…Y-you'll always…" she whispered then gave an almost long sound sigh as her eyes closed and she died in his arms.

Chris shook his head, "Yvanne…No…" he whispered as he began crying, she has always been like his sister and he had loved her deeply. Bianca came back and sat down next to him and hugged him, "You'll save her Chris…You'll save her by changing it all," she whispered as she pulled him from Yvanne and rocked him gently, "You'll save her…You'll save them all," she whispered.

Chris saw tears running down his aunts face as she relieved his memory and then hugged him, "You did it…You're going back to a future where they'll all be alive," she told him firmly.

"I hope so…somehow…I'm not so sure," he whispered back, not able to shake the feeling that something wasn't right.
