So, this is my first Charmed fanfiction, I don't know if I should continue it or where it will lead, I'd appreciate reviews, because if you like it, I will continue working on it.
Savin' Chris
The
table was set, Piper and Leo were on their way,
Phoebe wouldn't be able to come but send
Tara and Lisa, Paige would come with Henry jr., so the Family would
be near to being complete. Sure it was hard to get everyone together
but every once in a while they had to coordinate their magic lives.
Lisa and Henry were about to become teachers at the magic school,
Tara was busy at Collage becoming a lawyer and Dina, Phoebe's
oldest, was totally focussed on her new baby girl Prudence. She
always came telling everyone what she just learned and today, Prue
was sick, so she wouldn't make it as well.
"Julie, answer
the door...", Wyatt shouted from the kitchen. The brown haired girl
did what her brother said and waited for the visitors.
"Mom, Dad, hey,
how you're doing?", she said enthusiastic as Piper and Leo
entered their apartment placed in a big bureau building. Julie sent
her parents to the table and told them to wait a second. As she was
picking up the Wine from the kitchen, Wyatt got to say hello to his
Mom and Dad. They asked him how he was and he replied that all those
demons were keeping him busy and he felt responsible for too many
things. Before he could continue his explanation Chris entered the
room and said: "Oh yeah, mightiest witch of all times; Wyatt
Halliwell. Your life must be so stressful..."
"Well, don't
blame me because I'm doing my job and you're just hanging
loose.", Wyatt said less serious than he planned to say.
"I'm not
relaxing...I'm saving my power.", Chris said smiling.
The truth was that
Chris actually didn't take his job as a witch as serious as he was
supposed to and as serious as his cousins and especially as his
brother. For that bit, Wyatt was leaning deeper into the magic world
for no one had ever been tired of telling him how he was the most
important and strongest wizard in the world. Chris was pissed off by
this sometimes, because he always felt like standing in Wyatt's
huge shadow. One day he just thought 'Well if my brother is the man
in the magic world, I'll be the man in the real world.' He sort
of developed a slight dislike for magic, wanted to live a normal live
and leave the spells and potions to his brother and sister. And, as
always, no body seemed to care or even notice. They were all too
concerned about Wyatt. For a while there had been a silent rage
inside of him that he tried to pull down, but he felt it wouldn't
work very much longer. Ever since he had just been the younger
brother of Wyatt and not Chris Halliwell, his Dad loved Wyatt
obviously more, Wyatt was the one they had focussed on when they were
growing up. Wyatt always got everything, the girls of the family
always asked him for magical advise, they didn't even care that he
was good with writing spells as well, that he was able to kill a
demon with just a small move of his hand.
He was slowly
getting more and more furious and those screams inside his head got
him nuts.
The doorbell
distracted Chris for a second.
In the door stood Tara and Lisa
smiling from one ear to the other looking both just like her mother.
"Mom lets us tell you that she wishes us a wonderful dinner, Dad is
doing the same and Dina wants me to tell y'all that Prudence
learned how to aviate." The women sat down greeting their aunt and
Leo. Lisa got up agin and headed for the balcony where Julie stood.
They were best friends, being born at the same day and had spent
their entire life like sisters, they were not to be away from one
another for too long. Julie and Lisa were like the second twins in
the family, despite Fin and Laura, Paige's daughters.
When they came back to the table, Henry and Paige had already arrived. The talking got louder as everyone was chatting, informing, telling the newest facts about this and that demon-problem or about this and that new talented witch in the magic school.
Apart from them,
Chris stood in the corridor heading to his bedroom, leaning against
the wall. He was getting this terrible headache again and he always
heard someone calling him, those frigging screams resounded inside
his head. He hated being a whitelighter, they always kept bugging
him. He just wanted this new charge to leave him for good, there were
so many whitelighters, even in his own family, why couldn't Fin or
Laura take care of it, or even Julie. Although Julie was the leased
talented of the Halliwell children, she was a bit clumsy when it came
to magic. Or Wyatt could do it...as he always did it all -better than
Chris could ever do.
He rubbed his
forehead and sighed. He was tired of being a Halliwell.
Suddenly Tara
stepped in front of him.
"You can't always doubt who you are!
Those people that call on you are in need of you", she said.
"Damn! Tara, I told you not to emphath me!", Chris said in an scary angry voice.
"Chris, you know I usually don't, but your negative aura is like screaming through half of San Francisco. It's impossible not to notice it for an emphath! It's giving me the same headaches that you have, I can hear the screams you hear. You know, I told you, you can come to me, but you wouldn't. Chris, I'm really worried about you. Stop hating what you are, this is not going anywhere, please!", she said strict, she wasn't even older than him, but treated him like a child.
"Tara, suddenly you worry? You...er... just please don't read my thoughts ever agin, I'm telling you, leave it to me.", he tried not to sound as furious as he was.
"I can make you fulfill your duties! You are a whitelighter, that is your job and people will die if you don't do this job properly!"
"Are you trying to harass me?!"
"Chris, I'm trying to make you see what it is you have to do."
"Oh, I have to do things? I have to do nothing but die!"
Tara looked at him closely and suddenly her eyes got pale white. Chris knew that this were her destiny's angels genes coming through. A short while you could only When her eyes became clear again they were wet.
"Actually, if you don't decide to change your attitude, you will die..."
Although Chris
knew very well that she was always telling the truth when it came to
premonitions, he didn't care. He thought he should be scared, but
it meant nothing. So he would die. Well, no one would miss him
anyway.
His face became
hard and bitter as he gave Tara one last look, before he beamed away.
So what do you say?
