Chapter 2

"Chris!" Phoebe yelled as she ducked behind the couch.

"Chris. we need you!" Paige yelled, hiding behind a couch with Phoebe.

"Chris! Demons are here!" Piper yelled and finally, Chris orbed in.

Chris looked at the sisters, "Where are they?"

"Piper!" Phoebe yelled.

A couple of demons had their fireballs and electric balls ready in their hands to throw them at Piper. The eldest witch stood in her spot, ready to blow them up. But she knew there were too many of them. She could try to freeze them but her head was spinning. But she won't go down without a fight. A demon lifted his hand –

Chris's green eyes widened with fury. "NO!" Chris roared.

The demons paused in their movements and stared at the whitelighter confused. Each of them backed away, noticing the anger in his glaring eyes.

"Leave Her… Alone!" Chris growled and suddenly, his hands shot out with electricity at the demons, watching them turn into dust. But more and more demons suddenly shimmered in. Chris turned his head around, looking at the astonished faces on the sisters. "Stay down," He ordered quietly as Piper quickly hide with her sisters.

Chris took a step forward to the demons and closed his eyes as a blue-white glow appeared around his body, then his eyes shot open as his hands shot every demon with more electric power than before. Within seconds, they all turned into dust and fell to the ground. The sisters stood up slowly, amazed on what just happened within seconds. Chris turned around, his face pale white and sweaty but his hands were surprisingly bleeding.

His eyes fell on the sisters then onto Piper. Piper took a step back, surprised that she is seeing pain and regret in his eyes, something she has never seen before. She has never seen this type of emotion before and the eldest sister didn't know if she should be happy or worried. "Forgive me," He managed to say before his eyes rolled behind and his body fell on the ground.

Phoebe cried as she and her sisters ran over to their young whitelighter. "Leo!" Piper screamed.

Leo orbed in and stared at them confused. "What happened?"

"No time. Heal him." Piper ordered.

Leo put his hands over Chris's wounds and patiently watched as the blood disappeared. Chris groaned and opened his eyes to see worried faces above him. Quickly, he stood up on his feet and looked around the room. He couldn't believe what he just did. The vases and flowers were turned into ash, the walls looked like there was a fire…he almost destroyed everything the sisters owned. Chris grabbed a fitful of his hair and gripped it tightly at the process that he lost control of his powers…again.

He sighed. "I'm sorry for the mess and I will clean it up."

"Chris, there's no need for an apology." Phoebe told him. "You saved our butts."

"Why didn't you tell us about your…extra powers?" Paige asked.

"I never thought that I would lose control," He confessed and felt ashamed.

"Chris it's okay." Phoebe said.

Chris moved away from Phoebe's touch and looked at her. "No, it's not! I could've killed everyone and everything in this house. How can you say that it's okay?"

"But you didn't Chris." Leo confronted him it surprised Chris and himself. Even though, Leo disliked the young whitelighter it reminded Leo of Piper when she was losing control of her powers. "You concentrated on the demons, not the sisters. But the demons are gone now. That's all that matters."

"But why didn't you tell us about your powers?" Paige asked again, almost smiling. "I mean, I know you said you would lose control but…." She trailed off.

Chris shook his head away. "You don't understand. You wouldn't understand." He whispered the last part and orbed away.

Leo scoffed. There goes that memory of young Piper. "You still trust him?" Leo asked.

Piper groaned in frustration, not wanting to have another argument about trust issues. "Leo, can you please go and bring Wyatt and Jamie back from wherever you took them."

Unlike the other times Chris orbed away, he didn't leave the Manor. He was in the attic. He stood in the attic, breathing in and out as calmly as he could but when that didn't work, he kicked Aunt Pearls couch in anger. A part of him was livid with the fact that he lost control of his powers but the other half was miserable that Phoebe admitted to him that she had a vision of the future –of his past of a person he doesn't want to remember.

After he made sure he was calm enough, Chris stepped forward to the Book of Shadows, flipping through the pages until he stopped when he saw a bold print: "The Angel of Life." Chris' fingers traced the title with soft caress. But in his mind, he saw something different. He saw fire everywhere in a forest, demons and hunters roaring with laughter, and the cries of a woman echoed in the darkness.

"Goodbye my love," A girl whispered painfully.

"No." Chris demanded, snapping himself out of memory lane and continued flipping through the pages and stopped when he found the perfect spell that he needed.

"After this cruel memory

Is seen and said,

Erase these thoughts

From my head and head" He chanted.

The second Chris closed his eyes, all the bad memories from his past disappeared and when he reopened them, his jaded eyes showed confidence and no fear. It was the same emotion he had on him when he first abruptly arrived into the Charmed Ones' lives.

Chris walked down the stairs and stopped when he heard Leo arguing with the sisters again about not trusting Chris and not believing that Wyatt is the source of all-evil. Truthfully, Chris knew that his dad wouldn't believe him, but not trusting him, it did hurt Chris, even if he didn't show it. He just wants his family back together even though; he did break his parents up.

"He didn't tell you about his powers before." Leo reasoned. "And now –"

"He saved our lives." Paige interrupted him. "So, what if Chris didn't tell us that he was half-whitelighter and witch? But maybe there was a reason for him keeping his powers on the down low. I mean hello? I'm half whitelighter and witch and no one found out about me for years."

Chris smiled; he always liked his Aunt Paige better. She knew what it was like to be part of something else in the family full of witches and feel so different. Paige and his mom were the only people that could understand him and his powers.

"Paige has a point." Piper agreed. "And for now, we leave Chris alone. Maybe he will tell us or maybe not."

"I think there is more," Phoebe intervened. "There has to be another reason why he saved our lives. And it wasn't because we are his charges."

"He needs you three to get to Wyatt." Leo said.

Phoebe shook her head, angry that Leo is even suggesting that. "No. there's more."

"How can you tell?"

"His eyes,"

Chris's eyes widen. That is not a good sign. "What about my eyes?" Chris asked, walking downstairs as if he wasn't standing in on half their conservation.

"Nothing," Phoebe smiled, innocently.

"How are you feeling?" Piper asked.

"Much better," He smiled. "What?" Chris asked, noticing that Piper was staring at him like he was alien.

"You should smile more often. You look nice."

"Uh…thanks." Chris said, confused. But in the inside, he was jumping for joy.

"Chris, are you sure you're half-whitelighter?" Leo asked and Chris looked at him in half panicked and confusion. The sisters glared at him. "I'm only asking." Leo shrugged. "The power that you use to attack those demons, that isn't regular witch power."

"I didn't get my power from my mother." Chris admitted aloud. Chris's eyes widen, realizing that he shared information about his past.

"How do you know that?" Leo asked.

Chris sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. "I may not have been raised by my parents for a long time. But I still remember them. No more talking about the future, please."

Paige stared at Chris and couldn't help but feel like she knew him from somewhere. But where? He looked so familiar. But right now, there was something different about her whitelighter. He was in so much pain before he orbed away and now, he came with more confidence. "Chris, are you alright?" Paige asked.

"Yeah why?"

"I don't know. Something's different about you." Paige explained. "You look more confident."

"Well shouldn't I be?" Chris asked her. He remembered that it was always his Aunt Paige that noticed his discomfort ever since his mom's death. She was always there for him and Melinda when Leo and Wyatt were never around in his young life.

"I have to go. The Elders need me." Leo said and orbed away without saying goodbye.

"And I'm going demon-hunting." Chris announced.
"Hold it, mister!" Piper yelled. "I thought you said you were going to take a break from the demon-hunting business for a while."

"I chose a bad time to. There were too many demons here today that almost killed you." Chris reminded her.

"And you almost killed yourself." Piper fought back.

Chris opened his mouth but shut it, deciding it was not worth fighting a battle with his mom. "Look, I can't risk…" Chris stopped talking again.

"Losing control of your powers again?" Piper finished.

"Losing you," Chris corrected her. "And your sisters"

Piper didn't say anything but stare at Chris. Paige was right; there was confidence in their young whitelighter. As long as Piper knew Chris, she never heard him confess how he feels –or his feelings at all. This was shocking to her.

"Maybe he will tell us more about the future." Piper thought. "He just needs to open up more."

"Can I go now?" Chris whined like a child.

Piper sighed, she felt like she was dealing with Paige when she started out as a witch. "Fine but if our come worse than before. I'll have to say – "

"I told you so." Chris smiled. "Don't worry about me."

"Just get here before dinner."

Chris rolled his eyes, smiling. "Yes mom." He jokingly said before disappearing in blue and white orbs.
