Hello again everyone. I'm HAPPY so many people reviewed so quickly. I LOVE
you all.
Julie - I aim to please, here you go.
piper+leo4eva - AHHH you wrote "Saving Wyatt". GET MORE DONE!! ( I like where that is going. Interesting they would do an ep of a daughter and then have 2 sons. Weird. Me no saying if Chris dies or not. (
Mystery Guest - hope you like.
Karen - Yes, there is a next part, likely a few actually. Well you won't have to search far. (
Piperperson - why thank you.
Jenn - thanks, glad you think it's well written.
X3 - I know I'm terribly evil to leave Chris in such a state, but I LIKE dark fics. Glad you're enjoying it.
Adam - thanks, and of course I can continue, just gotta ask. ( If I told you what happens next you won't read it, silly boy. Hehehehe
Gryffindor620 - I know what you mean, if a story looks REALLY angsty I try to wait till it's finished to read, BUT I don't always stay away long enough. Hehehe (
Freakygirl - AAAAAHHH another one!! You wrote "One Last Wish" I LOVE that fics too. SOOO sad. And ahh, yeah sorry about the similar wording but I couldn't think of another way to describe it seeing as we both seeing it happening about the same way. I had actually started this story a while ago but wanted to wait until the SHOW actually told us who Chris was. Now it all makes sense. ( GREAT FIC. If you guys haven't read that story GO GO.
leggylover03 - Hey Rhonda, you MUST have me on Author Alert, you seem to find my new stuff fast. ( heheheh Yes, poor Chris, but he goes through even more before the end of the story.
Feline-Feral - thanks. You're gonna love the ep, it's funny, angsty, and CHRIS! What more do you need.
Chub - wow, dead good? Cool, never got that one before. ( glad you like it.
Rads - Oh YES, CHRIS. I'm VERY addicted to Chris this season, I find his odd behaviour very fun. Chris is a great new addition, not to mention VERY nice to look at. Good plots are always good too. ( hehehe Enjoy.
ashash52009 - Yes I agree, Piper and Leo are cool. But then Piper has always been my fav of the sisters, I say next fav is Paige, she's just really cool, but Phoebe is fun too. PIPER ROCKS! And now we have Chris! Great combo.
Well here is the next part. Hope you all like and review again.
Refresher: HR
Piper looked down at the floor in shock and needed to catch her thoughts. Then her eyes fell on a few drops of blood the carpet and her heart froze. "Chris! Leo, our son is bleeding to death somewhere near here! We have to find him."
Golden Gate Park (the special spot)
Chris knew the potion he'd made would work and they wouldn't be able to find him. Of course he'd had a different plan for why he didn't want them to find him, getting stabbed wasn't what he'd had in mind. But then Chris remembered what he'd said to Phoebe and it was true, he was already dying, what was the difference anyway.
Chris thought back to the anger he saw in Leo eyes when he ordered Chris out of Wyatts room, and the distrust and anger he saw in Pipers eyes when she said she didn't want to see him again. Chris cursed himself for getting caught like that.
'I'm an idiot! I had Leo on my side, all I had to do was work on Piper and maybe I could get them back together,' he thought to himself. Now with just a few days since they were SUPPOSED to be back together he was really feeling the effects. He knew before he left the future this could happen, but also he knew that if he didn't make Leo more powerful he would die in the war that was coming against evil. Losing Leo was the start of Piper's fall and the downfall of all the Charmed ones. Piper let her anger and need for revenge to take over and it was what showed Wyatt how powerful negative thoughts could be.
Chris heard a siren somewhere nearby. Golden Gate Park in this time was different from the one in his time. This one had more green but the crime in the city wasn't as bad as in his time. Sirens were constant in his world just as the hunter probs were. His special place with Bianca seemed to be a fitting place to end things. The sisters didn't know about it, and Leo couldn't follow him here. He was alone, just like he had been most of his life after he lost Wyatt to evil.
~~ Flashback ~~
"Wyatt, what are you doing? These people are innocents! The demons are gone! Stop!"
Wyatt looked down at the people in the street below; he was still blasting the spot where the demon had been. "That was HIM Chris! The one that killed our father! How could we let him escape again?"
"He's smart Wyatt, and he likely sensed your anger and knew you couldn't control it. You know you have to, or it's going to consume you if you don't."
"Would that really be so bad Chris? You've seen what demons can do with their anger. Why shouldn't we be able to use it to fight too? Why should we have to worry about personal gain?"
"Because we're the side of good, brother. We can't just destroy like they do or we're no better then them and this whole fight would be pointless," Chris walked up to Wyatt and tried to catch his eyes.
"I miss them Chris, I miss them so much," Wyatt actually was crying.
Chris wrapped his arms around his big brother and held him close. His voice broke when he said, "I know, I miss them too."
~~ End Flashback ~~
Chris cried at that memory. They were so young that day. Wyatt was barely a teenager and Chris was only eleven. Chris really thought he could keep Wyatts anger at bay and the two of them, being so powerful, could help the world. Chris was so devoted to his brother he didn't even see the gradual changes in him. That day should have been the warning, Wyatt blasting away at the ground from the building not caring whom his energy balls hit. But the thing Chris remembered the most about that day is that it was the last time he'd ever seen Wyatt cry.
The Halliwell Manor
Piper and Leo were on the couch holding each other. Piper was crying and Leo just seemed to stunned to do anything but hold her. Leo had immediately gone the bridge where he'd found Chris several times before but he wasn't there. Leo tried communing with the other Elders to see if they could see where Chris was but they said his blocking potion was too strong. Paige and Phoebe were in the kitchen to give them some time alone. Paige had called Daryl and asked him to keep an eye open for any reports of someone injured fitting Chris's description.
Paige looked through the Book of Shadows for anything that could be used to locate a person who wanted to stay hidden. They tried a summoning spell but it didn't work, somehow Chris was blocked from those too.
Phoebe looked at the ingredients Chris used in the blocking potion and shook her head, "What kind of world did Wyatt created where good witches had to use a potion this strong to stay hidden."
Paige looked up at her and stood to go look at the ingredients herself. "Wow, that is a strong potion. I guess they needed it to be this strong, since Wyatt is so powerful. Chris must have had a terrible childhood."
Phoebe remembered her vision of the little Chris and Wyatt in the good future, "Things were so different in the vision I saw. We were all happy. You were a teacher at the magic school. I was happily married and pregnant with my first child and Piper and Leo were together and Wyatt and Chris were normal brothers, just kids."
Paige sighed and smiled sadly, "Well I guess Chris being here shows us that vision isn't going to happen. The world is a mess according to him in the future."
"But maybe Chris being here to warn us what is to come IS going to change the future into the one I saw?"
"If that were true then what would happen to Chris? He doesn't come from that happy future, he comes from the bad one."
"I don't know."
Just them Leo came in, "There is another answer too."
Both sisters looked up, "Where's Piper?"
Leo pointed over his shoulder, "She cried herself to sleep."
Both sisters' hearts went out to their older sister at the pain she was in. Paige looked at Leo, "What do you mean, another answer?"
Leo sighed and sat down, "Maybe both futures are what does happen." The girls looked confused so he continued. "You said in your vision Wyatt and Chris were just children. What if the good future you saw was the world before the big evil hit. The Chris we have here is much older then what you saw."
Phoebe's hand covered her mouth and Paige gasped, "You really think that?"
"Well something had to caught all magic off guard enough for that evil to take over so quickly and get Wyatt. Maybe because we all thought evil was finally gone we weren't protecting ourselves against attack anymore."
Paige nodded, "I guess that makes sense."
Leo looks at the open Book and asks, "Find anything in there to help us find Chris?"
Paige shook her head sadly, "No, and I'm guessing if Daryl had heard anything he would have called us by now."
Phoebe looked behind Leo, "I hope Piper doesn't blame herself for being mean to Chris."
Leo sighed again, "Well you have to admit we've all been pretty terrible to him."
Paige, "Yeah but he's been lying to us since he got here. Plus he's done some pretty crazy things."
Leo looked at her, "But he never hurt us, not even once. He has protected Wyatt and all of you since he got here, even before he was your Whitelighter. He even saved me from a dinosaur. I should have trusted him more."
"You were sceptical because you were worried about us, because you care about us. But you did trust him eventually, you even started working on us to let him back in our lives."
Leo looked down at his hands, "I know, but I shouldn't have just jumped at him, I should have listened to him." Then Leo remembered something from a few months ago. "Oh no."
Paige looked at him strangely and Phoebe asked, "What? Can you sense Chris now?"
"No. Chris called me. dad."
Both sisters were shocked, "What? When?"
"Do you remember back when you powers were driving a wedge between all of you, Phoebe?" She nodded, "Well when I caught Chris getting that potion, I was to awful to him. Then Piper called me to watch on Wyatt and Chris said, 'Looks like Wyatt needs another babysitter, DAD.' Then after you all took it and it worked he said, 'Looks like we're all one big happy family again.' I."
Phoebe sat down next to Leo and took his hand, and Paige came over and stood beside him, "What did you say to him?"
"I said, 'You're not family' and walked out, without even thanking him."
Paige hugged Leo and said, "We'll find him soon Leo. I know we will."
Leo was scared but also furious with himself for not seeing the signs sooner. "We have to find him soon, because I can't heal the dead."
Finally they separate and Paige looked into the living room, "I'm gonna check on Piper." Paige had barely walked out there when she called back to them, "Guys! Get out here!"
Leo and Phoebe were on their feet in no time and joined Paige. "What is it Paige," Phoebe asked as she ground to a halt next to her sister. Paige just pointed at the empty couch.
"Maybe she went up to check on Wyatt," Leo offered.
Paige shook her head and passed a piece of paper to them, "She went after Chris."
"What?" Phoebe took the note from Paige and Leo read it over her shoulder. It said, "I'm sorry I didn't wait for your guys, but I have to find my son. He CAN'T die with things like this; I have to say I'm sorry for all the terrible things I've said to him. Call it mothers intuition but I think I know where he is, I'm taking your car Paige, sorry."
When they finished reading the note they saw Paige was no longer in front of them. "Paige?"
"In the kitchen, Phoebe."
They both entered to find Paige scrying for Piper. "No offence Leo, but you're a little to upset right now to sense things properly. At least this way we can find her for sure."
Golden Gate Park
Piper walked through the trees looking in every direction looking for her son. The son she had been so terrible to just recently. She just HAD to be able to apologize to him and hold him once. She finally came to the stone pillars of the park and found her prey.
Chris was lying on the stone bench on his side with his feet dangling off the end and his head rolled nearly face down at the head. Piper took off at a dead run and landed on her knees in front of him. He was deathly pale and she saw tear stains on his cheeks, but he was not moving at all.
"CHRIS!" Piper screamed as her tears poured down her face. "Chris, baby, please! Don't leave me like this! Please give me another chance, I want to know the real you. CHRIS NO!" Piper gathered Chris into her arms and pulled him into a tight hug.
She cried for a few seconds more and the screamed as loudly as she could, "LEO!!"
