Chapter 2

Past Present and Future Issues.

2. Girls

"Melinda? Bianca? What in heavens name are you doing here?" Chris asked, still out of his breath, after the wound was healed, and he ignored his very worried looking mother. Sure, Piper Halliwell had a lot of questions on her mind, as did her two sisters, and they still weren't sure if they could trust him, but they understood this was not the right moment to question that.

Slowly the three sisters backed away, while the two strangers who no more than two minutes ago came falling out of a time portal, shortly followed by tons of demons, helped Chris getting up. On a safe distance, the sisters observed the situation.

Chris stumbled a bit when he got back at his feet, with the longest brunette still holding his hand tight.

"We have nowhere else to go." She said, here dark eyes looking sad, but at the same time very relieved too.

"He cought us, tried to kill us, but we managed to create a time portal and we escaped to this time, hoping we'd cross paths with you." The other, younger looking girl said, the girl who just healed him.

Chris first just looked from the one girl to the other, before finally being able to say anything.

"Plus... We missed you. I was really worried about you."

Piper could feel Phoebe squeezing her hand when Chris suddenly wrapped his arms around the tall skinny girl, with long brown hair, burrying his face in her embracing arms.

"I missed you so much." He whispered, barely audiable. The girl reacted immediately by kissing his forehead, and whispering comforting words in his ears.

After a few moments of complete silence, Piper found the urge to clear her troat, and she hawked, making Chris and the mysterious girls realize they were not alone.

The youngest girl, who had beautifull jade green eyes, just like Chris had, and very long dark hair looked up at the oldest sister, and her eyes widened.

"Oh my god... Is that who I think she is?" She intended to run over to hug Piper, but Chris pulled her back quickly.

"No, she is not." He said rapid, "Sorry girls, for this uproar. And you might want to clean that off." He said, indicating the time portal. And immediately orbed out after saying that, taking the two girls with him.

For a moment the charmed ones were surrounded by complete silence, in a very messy room. After a few seconds, they all started to breath again.

"What... What was that all about?" Phoebe asked slightly confused, to which her sisters reacted by shrugging and shaking their heads.

"Beats me," Piper said, not sure what just happened. One minute they were just talking in the living room, next they hear a crash in the attic, followed by screaming and they rushed upstairs, to get trapped in a tremendous demon fight. They hadn't even noticed the two girls, until Chris got hit and healed by one of the girls.

"The girl... She seemed to know you... or us..." Paige pointed out to Piper, unsecure.

"We have to find out who they were, then maybe we will finally, finally, find out who Chris really is."

Her sisters nodded in agreement.

"So... Shall I start scrying for him then?" Paige suggested, on which Piper aswered with a quick nod, and she started calling for Leo again. She had called him when they entered the fight, but he hadn't showed up. Now again, he didn't seem to answer. Sighing she gave up.

"Phoebe, you go check the book if you can find the demon, I will check on Wyatt, see if he's okay."

Phoebe nodded. "Thank god it's weekend." She sighed, which Paige answered with:

"Oh yeah." She said with a tired smile.

"You didn't tell them?" Melinda practically cried out. Chris shrugged.

"Wha... Well... Why?" Melinda asked, not believing it. They were standing on top of the Golden Gate Bridge, but somehow that didn't really surprise the girls. He always orbed there when he was in some sort of trouble. It was the one place he felt save. They knew that.

"Because if they'd know who I really am, they would get all overprotective, and they would want to know everything and... it would just delay us, slow things down." Chris defenced himself from his babysister.

"But..."

"Ah.. No buts!" Chris cut her off, "Please don't nag. Just... Why are you here?"

Melinda opened her mouth, but Bianca was the faster.

"Wyatt found us, not very long after you left. He kept us captive..."

"He tortured us!" Chris' eyes widened as she said that, but Bianca gave Melinda a 'shush!' look and continued.

"He held us captive and tried so many things to turn us. But we didn't give in, and after some time we managed to escape, with some help of a few members of the resistance who found us. But then Wyatt's shadowers followed us and they discovered the hiding place..."

Bianca fell silent then.

"They stormed the place and..." Melinda didn't know what to say either.

"My god, are they... Are they allright..." Chris didn't want to hear the answer, afraid of what it would be.

"I'm sorry... A few have managed to escape, including Tyler, Henry Junior, Jessica and Helen, but..."

"No... Simon, Heather, Tamara...?" He stuttered.

"I'm sorry Chris, they're dead..."

"No!" It felt as if his world was crashing down... again. The last members of his family, except for his one sister standing in front of him, and two cousins who now lived in fear, and had to hide from the world, were killed. First his aunts, then his mother, his father, his uncles. His cousins had all fled to the sanctuary, a place where all magical beings gathered and hide, and after that had been attacked, the remaining witches had founded the 'resistance', where they had hidden themselves and lots of other witches. But with Chris as their leader, they started to fight back. They started to attack the demons, to protect themselves. To let Wyatt know there still were witches out there who hadn't abandon on hope. Witches that would never surrender to him.

"No..." He pleaded, chewing his lip. "No, no, no..."

"I'm sorry, Chris." Bianca wrapped her arms around him again, but Chris pulled her away gently.

"Is he here too?" He asked, hoping, fearing, praying he wasn't.

"We don't know, we think not." Bianca said. "He was there when we jumped into the time portal, it was his voice who ordered the demons to get us back, but we didn't see him in this time." Chris sighed relieved. That was one burden less to bear.

It was silent a few more seconds.

"So what do we do now?" Melinda then asked. "We go to the manor and tell them what happened? Ask them if we can stay here? With them?"

"No..." Chris said quick.

"But Chris, we can't go back. We'll be killed!"

"No, I would have suggested that as well if..."

"If what?"

"If things hadn't been so bad as they are right now."

Melinda gasped, already having an idea of what he could mean.

"No. Chris, don't tell me they threw you out..."

Chris gave her a guilty look, on which she groaned.

"No way!" She yelled. "I can't believe it, how is it that you always manage to screw things up like that! You idiot!" Bianca grabbed her arms and shook her.

"Melinda, stop it! This is not going to help." Melinda gave her an angry look, but remained silent. Bianca turned around now.

"As for you... Is there no chance...?" Chris shook his head.

"I don't think so. They don't seem to trust me for one bit." Bianca sighed.

"Well, we really need them. So the lot of you will have to get over it."

Chris sighed.

"Right. Great... Fine. But, I'm sorry Bianca, but please don't let them know you're a phoenix. Please don't shimmer and... you know. They already mistrust me."

Bianca nodded. "I understand." She said softly, then she grabbed his hand, as did Melinda.

"And Mel..." He added, "Please don't tell them who we are."

"Right." Melinda agreed disappointed.

Chris sighed once more, then orbed them out, into the living room of the manor.

In the manor stood Piper, holding her baby in her hands, trying to calm him down by shaking him on her arms.

"You're okay, Wyatt, you're okay. The big bad demon is gone now." She shushed him in a sweet high voice. She then was cut off by the sound of jingling. She turned around quickly, hoping to see her ex-husband orbing in, but was let down.

"Chris… You have some serious explaning to do, young man." She said in harsh tone, making Chris sigh.

"I know." He said, but fell silent after that.

An awkward silence fell over the room, while Piper glanced over the two young girls, she noticed the girl on his left, who already had withdraw her hand, looked really familiar, although she didn't know why. Her long brown hair, what at the moment looked a bit messy, and the sad green eyes, she just had something really familiar. Piper felt the young girl, who didn't look much older than sixteen, seventeen at the very most, stared back at her with a really sad, but simultaneously a very excited look in her eyes.

The other girl, Piper guessed she was around Chris' age, maybe a bit younger. The girl had very long hair as well, also a bit messy, and chocolat brown. Her eyes were very dark, and desperately trying to avoid Pipers. She was still holding Chris' hand tightly.

"I..." Chris started, but was cut off by voices from the attic.

"Piper? Is there someone down there?" It was Phoebes voice.

"Oh my god..." Melinda whispered so soft, even Chris barely heard her, but the sqeezing in his hand, that he could feel better.

"Is it Leo? Has he finally come down?"

"No Paige, it's our pretend-to-be whitelighter."

Chris sighed when he heard quick footsteps rushing down the stairs, and then through the hall. Then both his aunts entered the living room, and glanced a bit confused over the girls.

"I don't think I can keep my mouth shut." She wispered, so soft it was barely understandable.

"You have to." He hissed back.

"You know I'm just as bad as aunt Phoebe at keeping secrets."

Chris just gave her a very threatening look, and a smile appeared on Melinda's face.

"Hey." Piper asked their attention. Chris figured she and her sisters had also first discussed the weird situation.

"So start explaning. Start with who they are." Piper said in a commanding way, a motherly way. Chris had to keep himself from smiling.

"Right... This is..."

"I'm his sister." Melinda answered for him, and the mouthes from everybody in the room fell open. The sisters first glanced at Melinda, then at Chris, then back at Melinda, and then glanced at eachother.

"Mel..." Chris and Bianca spat out simultaneously. Chris looked at her furious, then lowered his voice.

"This is unbelievable. What did I just tell you? I told you not to tell them! You promised!"

"Well Chris, it's no use to keep lying to them. It's just making this harder, complicated."

Chris felt the sisters smirking at him as he turned slightly pale.

"Is she telling the truth?" Phoebe demanded, and Chris, who saw no other option nodded, not wanting to look at them. Look at their stunned faces.

"Wow, you have a sister...?" Paige asked confused, "Why did you never tell us?"

"You have other siblings?" Phoebe wanted to know.

Chris pushed Melinda softly, hardly noticable, too keep her from telling anything else.

"No." He said quickly.

"Then who is the other girl?" Piper demanded, not trusting him.

"She's m..."

"No I want to hear it from her." Piper cut him off, and glanced at the pretty girl next to him, who still hold his hand. She glanced at the young man standing at her side, who briefly nodded.

"Yeah, you can tell them." He said moody, and he looked down, at the floor, feeling busted, betrayed. Even more betrayed then he felt that evening on the Bridge.

"I'm his girlfriend." Bianca said slowly, and again the sisters looked at them with wide eyes and amazed faces. But the awkward silence didn't last long.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Paige asked.

Chris kept on staring at his feet as Melinda started to talk again.

"We're from his future, and we were hiding in the resistance, but Wyatt found us and..."

"Wyatt?" Piper cried out. Chris felt like falling in a big black hole.

"What do you mean Wyatt found you? Wyatt as in my baby Wyatt?"

"You didn't tell them this either?" Melinda demanded. "What did you tell them?"

"Not much." Phoebe assured her.

"Tell me, what does my son have to do with this?" Piper cried out.

"And what is the resistance?" Paige added.

"I told you Wyatt was going to turn evil. But you didn't want to believe me. You threw me out when I said it." Chris said trying to sound uncaring, but failing terribly.

"But..."

"He's telling the truth, Piper!" Bianca cut her off. It was the first time this night she had said something spontaneously and all looked at her.

"But it can't be." Piper said, but her voice sounded unsecure.

"Well, it obviously can. You're son is going to be evil. Very very very evil." Bianca said angry now. "He's going to terrorize, capture, torture and kill lots of people, including his own family. Inluding Chris' family, including Melinda's family, including my family, including even your family."

Silence fell over the room. Pipers eyes were slightery watery and she blinked a couple of times. Her sisters just glanced with big eyes at the three strangers, not wanting to believe it. Then finally after several awkward moments Phoebe's mouth opened.

"I'm sorry Chris." She said soft. "I'm sorry we were so hard on you, if we'd known you had a life like that..." Chris looked up and watched her baffled. That was the last thing he'd expected.

"Yeah, I'm sorry too." Paige said, and Chris now stared at her, amazed. It took a few moments, but at ultimately gave in.

"I'm sorry, Chris. But you need to learn how to open up to somebody."

"Yeah, if you want us to trust you, you need to tell us more, and stop lying. If you wanted us to help you saving Wyatt, you should have told us this sooner." Phoebe said. Chris nodded.

"Yeah, I know. I just couldn't. I'm sorry." He said.

"You can come back in if you want. They can as well." Piper looked at him asking.

"Thanks," Was all she got from her whielighter. Or witchlighter, as he turned out to be...

"Are there more witchlighters in the future?" Paige asked curious, for she and Wyatt were the only ones she knew.

"Can't tell you that." Chris said and Paige rolled her eyes.

"Future consequenses. Right." She sighed.

"I'm sorry, could you now excuse us, please?" Chris asked, and after a brief nod, he grabbed the future girls' arms and orbed out.

Hmm I'm not really satisfied with this chapter. It turned out a bit different as I had hoped.
