CHAPTER 2 – Catching UP

Is everyone's wish to go back and do something differently, say something you wanted to say, the time when you took everything for granted, you wish you appreciated more, what happens when you are someone that can.

After Chris got successfully cleaned and dressed he and Ben make their way to the club.

"Ah I really missed this place, the music, the crowd" said Ben as he and Chris descended the stairs and making their way through the people to a table.

"I don't really remember you loving it so much when you had to run it" Chris commented to Ben.

"Yeah, well tried running a night club with 5 teenagers at home, and school".

Chris turned to look for the girls and make sure they where out of hear, they were a few tables away. "So how are things there and how did you ended up here?"

"It hasn't really changed much; we are still undercover, getting more and more refugees into the community, going to the outside only to look for water and food, although I think the machines are now double in number. We got the word that Wyatt was sending a little less than an army to the past to tried and get you and that if they couldn't then go ahead and take him your head if necessary this time"

"That means that he's feeling threaten, but how? I took the spell from the book" asked Chris a little confused

"Yes, but it seems he got help from some dark sorceress to do a one time travel" tried to explain Ben not really knowing himself how exactly Wyatt did it. He continued a little carefully "O and I heard what happen to Bianca, I'm really sorry" Ben knew how much Chris and Bianca loved each other and how painful it must been to Chris losing her. "She actually helped the community time to time now from the inside".

"Thanks its ok now, I'm ok now" Chris said this not really knowing if it was true" "but then what happen? With Wyatt I mean"

"Then I went and tried to stop him or at lest vanquish as many demons as I could and I did but I ended up here so things didn't exactly went as planed" Ben said slowly knowing very well Chris reaction.

"You what?¡ are you out of your mind going there all alone? why didn't you take someone with you?"

"I didn't really want to take anyone with me it was too dangerous"

"Dangerous? Try suicidal, you could have died there" that was a thought that Chris didn't want to even think, how lost will everyone be if something like that happened, he included.

"Yeah I know, but I couldn't just do nothing and let him send those demons to kill you, I would do anything to protect any of you and you know that" Ben said very serious to Chris "You all come first".

"And did you think of them, who is going to look for them and take care of the all community now that you're here?"

"Mel can take care..." started Ben

"Mel? Are you sure?" interrupted Chris.

"Come on, you know as well as I do that she can handle it, she may be as crazy as her mother sometimes but she is as strong and self confident as well."

"I guess you are right, It's just I still don't get used to her being so grown up and mature you know?, I mean she was the younger one, it doesn't feel that long that she and I argue for the amount of time she spent on the bathroom to get ready" Chris couldn't help but laugh at the thought.

"Yes, well if it's of any consolation you all are the youngsters to me and as well as annoying. And look once we finish here and save Wyatt from whatever is trying to turn him we won't have to worry about it ok?" Ben told him trying to ease his mind. "So how are you doing here?"

Chris gave a sigh and responded "Honestly I don't really know, I just keep vanquish demon after demon and I still feel I'm nowhere near finding who's after Wyatt"

"Well like I said early while I'm here you take a break and I'll continue where you left off. But what really meant was how "are you"?" He asked once more this time putting a little emphasis to the question. "Been near them again and all, I mean I just saw them and..." Ben trailed off not really knowing how to put in words how he felt as he turned to see the sisters a few tables away.

"Oh, it had been a little difficult. I don't know when was worse, when they didn't know who I was or now"

"Ah yes I could feel some tension in the manor, so they did find out didn't they?"

"Yes, Aunt Phoebe had a premonition of a young Wyatt and me and put two and two together"

"Ha, I should have known she was going to be the one figuring it out" Ben threw a few glances at Phoebe. "So what did she said?"

"Who?" Chris tried to play dumb

"What do you mean who? Your mother, what did she said about you being her son?"

"Well you'll see I haven't exactly talked to her since she find out, I've been swamp going here and there and…"

"So you are avoiding her" interrupted Ben seeing clearly trough his excuses

"No, No, I mean… Yes" Chris said defeated

"Why?" asked Ben trying to reason Chris' mind

"I don't know it was easier when she didn't know I was, I could just pretend that there was nothing wrong and she wouldn't care about me, but now it's just so… It's hard you know I don't want to get too attached…" tried to explain Chris.

"What I think it's that you don't get too close because you feel your only going to loose her again" Ben said to him and Chris knew he was right.

"Well from my point of view that is more of a reason to get close to her, you should appreciate the time you been given with her. We are lucky people, Chris we got to see the people we love and are already gone one more time, don't avoid her, spent time with her and I know I don't need to tell you this but you should talk to her, knowing her she already started imagining things, bad things"

Chris glanced at Ben contemplating what he said and what to do.

Ben couldn't help but glance once again to the sisters and think that maybe he should listen to his own advice.

Yeah definitely easier said than done but after all they are the people that can

And here it ends chapter II
