THE REUNION by Nehebka

CHAPTER 2

OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

The vortex opened. Phoebe, Paige, Leo, Wyatt and Chris walked out of the vortex into the open road. They found Piper walking along the path.

"What are you doing here?" asked Piper surprised to see them.

"We're here to take you home" replied Leo.

Piper stared at them for a moment. Phoebe quickly motioned for Paige to say the spell.

"Reversal spell! Reversal spell!" mumbled Phoebe.

But before Paige could say anything Piper swung her arm and sent all of them crashing to the ground. She was about to turned and leave when somebody yelled "No!" She turned around and saw Chris standing up in front of her.

"You MUST come back with us" cried out Chris.

Piper raised her hand and pointed directly at Chris. Her voice rang out loud and echoed strong. "NO!!"

The voice hit Chris with a force that sent him crashing into a tree, breaking it upon impact.

"Piper…" began to say Chris.

"Stay away from me!" shouted interrupting him.

"You must come home..." Chris sat up holding his ribs and standing up with difficulty.

Chris stepped closer to Piper. "I know why you would rather be one of them. It's because you don't want to feel pain-"

Piper gestured with her hand. There were no magic bolts of light, but Chris' head jerked to the side as if he had been hit. Three parallel cuts appeared on his cheek, bloody as if scratched. He put his hand up to them, looked at his fingers and then looked back up at her.

"But you have to feel the pain, because if you can't feel the pain, then you can't feel the good stuff either" continued Chris.

"Shut up!" yelled Piper as she made another slashing gesture. Chris doubled over and fell to his knees. Panting, he got up again and moved slowly toward her.

"For God sake, you MUST remember your family… your son… Wyatt. Do you remember him?" asked Phoebe.

Piper stared at her considering her words.

"He needs his mother" said Chris and she looked at him again.

Piper started to cry and, as Chris got right up to her, she started hitting him with her fists. Chris stood there and took it. "It's all your fault! It's your fault! Leo is gone because of YOU! I-I miss him so much". She fell to her knees.

"I'm here. I'll never leave you. I love you" said Leo as he knelt with her. He put his arms around her and held her while she sobbed. Leo took her pendant off and immediately Piper was transformed back to herself.

Wyatt ran towards Chris. "Are you okay?" asked Wyatt. Chris did not answer he just stood up but he stumbled into Wyatt's. "Easy there, buddy," said Wyatt soothingly as he tried to steady him

"I'm sorry. I'm sor--this-- I'm so sorry. This is all my fault" mumbled Chris with a pained and anguished voice.

"Everything will alright. She's fine. You saved her" said Wyatt.

"We have to go" said Phoebe.

"Wait! Chris is injured! He has to be healed first" yelled Wyatt to Leo.

Leo nodded and put his hands over Chris' wounds to heal him. "Thanks" mumbled Chris. Leo didn't say anything he just turned around and came back with Piper.

"It is not safe to be here. It's time to go". She turned to look at Paige who grabbed the pendant and opened the vortex.
