A.N.: This chapter is dedicated to crazy woman for being the first to review to the last chapter. I would also like to thank Petites sorcières for reviewing to both chapters. And I'm sorry it took me so long to update, but I did finish one of my stories in the time! I'm so proud of myself.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters that will be mentioned here.
Summary: "On the bright side, he's only one. He's not going to remember it." One birthday party leads into another, which leads into his family missing everything. Now that he's sixteen, Chris is feeling the pain…and letting it out the only way he can.
crazy woman: Sorry about the confusion. Thanks for reviewing!
maliaphire: I'm very good at writing sad stories. They're my favorite.
pitaC89: Exactly my point!
Nikki4u: Thanks so much for the review and I agree with you fully.
Just Y: Thanks for reviewing!
midnite-magic: I love them too.
Allen Pitt: It really is just Piper, I mean, she's the matriarch of the family, so if she decides to be mean to Chris, everyone else subconsciously picks it up. Actually, I'm not planning on anything so drastic, I swear. It would be funny if Chris turned evil, but I like Chris too much to make him evil.
charmed4eva1990: Your really putting this on your favorite list? Thanks so much!
Kawwen: Thanks so much for the fantastic review!
eMBRY: Thanks for complimenting me even when I know I'm not an awesome writer.
Petites sorcières: …I don't know French, nor do I know anyone who can.
atlantis2005: Thanks so much for the review!
Ceres217: I'm trying to make the chapters longer, but every time I want to, I can never think about what to add to it, I think I need a beta to help me…hmm…
Kittywittymitty: Thank you so much!
hehehe: 9/10? Where are my errors? I would like to know so I can improve my writing.
StreaksofFushia: I'm really sorry it's taken me so long to update.
Forgotten Birthdays
Stinging Blindness
(Chris's POV)
I woke up earlier than I usually do. Today was a special day though; it's my sixth birthday. Wyatt was still asleep when I got dressed. I was supposed to go to school today. I'm in first grade now. My teacher, Mrs. T, is really nice. I like her a lot. She treats me like I'm her own son. Her son, James, is in our class. He's my best friend. Well, Wyatt is my best friend, but James is next.
My daddy said that he was going to take me out today. He forgot last year when everyone went on their picnic. He felt really bad and cried when he came back and saw me sleeping in his chair. Mommy just got mad cause I was sleeping in the chair. But Daddy yelled at her and she got mad and went into their bedroom.
I wanted to do something special for daddy today, so I went into the attic to look at the Book of Shadows. My mommy and aunties don't like me looking at it. They say I'm too young. But Wyatt can look at it, and he's only to years older than me.
I was flipping the pages looking at the pictures to find something Daddy would like. I can read, but not very well. Mommy never taught me and Daddy is usually busy because Mommy tells him to do things all the time. He can never spend any time with me. When he's not doing something for Mommy, he's playing with Wyatt. My brother just joined the baseball team and Daddy likes to go play with him. One time, when Daddy had some time with me, he taught me to orb right. Now, I can go anywhere! Daddy was real proud of me.
I was looking at the pages so much that I didn't notice anyone in the room with me. But I felt it when they stabbed me. I looked into the face of a scary demon. He snarled at me, sort of like the dog down the street, and shimmered away. I held a hand to the cut on my stomach, but I couldn't stop it from bleeding. I couldn't go to Mommy or Daddy cause Mommy would get mad. And Wyatt would just tell Mommy if he healed me. I was about to call Aunty Paige, but she would tell Mommy too and Mommy would hurt me. I went into the bathroom and took my pajama shirt off. The cut was really deep and it hurt a lot. I got into the bath and wiped it off the best I could. Then I put lots of Band-Aids on it. It hurt a lot to move, but I was okay.
I heard Mommy waking Wyatt up and go downstairs to make breakfast. I always have to steal some food and eat it on the way to school. Mommy says it's unhealthy for me to eat breakfast in the morning, but my stomach hurts too much for me not to eat.
Daddy was driving us to school this morning. Most of the time Mommy drives us. I like it better when Daddy drives us though. Mommy can be mean. Mrs. T asked me all day what was wrong, but I always said nothing. I didn't want her to get mad too. Wyatt and I walked home that day. He was about a block ahead of me. I wanted to orb home, but Mommy would find out and she wouldn't like that. She doesn't like me using magic.
Mommy had a snack ready for us when we got home. The first thing I did was go into the bathroom and look at the cut. It was all different colors. It didn't look very good. And it hurt more now then it did before. Mommy even gave me a snack. She usually tells me I can't have anything, I was happy she remembered me on my birthday. Wyatt had already given me a present earlier; it was a coloring book with crayons. I like to color; it's fun. Daddy gave me a book, but I can't read it. So I'm going to see if Wyatt can read it for me.
Mommy told me to drink some juice. So I did, but it was gross! I asked her what it was, but she just told me to drink all of it. Daddy came into the kitchen and messed up my hair before he looked at my juice when I tried another sip. He asked Mommy what it was and Mommy said that it was a power-stripping potion. Wyatt and Daddy looked at Mommy weird. Then Daddy asked me to orb. I didn't know what was going on, so I tried, but no matter how hard I tried, I wasn't going anywhere. I started crying. Now I know what a power-stripping potion is.
The same demon that cut me before shimmered into the kitchen. Mommy tried to blow him up, but it didn't work. Daddy told Wyatt to orb me upstairs. When we were in the attic I heard Mommy and Daddy yelling downstairs. They came up the stairs really fast with Aunty Phoebe and Aunty Paige behind them. They looked in the Book for a way to kill it, but they couldn't find one. The demon shimmered into the attic and looked around at everyone before walking towards me. I backed up and hoped that he would leave me alone, but he ripped my shirt off. Everyone gasped at the bandage on my stomach, but no one tried to keep the demon away from me. I cried harder when the demon ripped the bandage off and stabbed the weird looking knife in the same spot as before.
It hurt more this time. I screamed and Mommy tried to blow him up. I was happy to see that he did. It was really quiet when the demon died. Everyone was looking at me crying, but no one said anything.
I looked at Wyatt to see if he would heal me, but he looked at Mommy and Mommy shook her head. She looked really sad, "Mommy?"
I heard some orbs and a pair of arms surround me. She said, "Shh…I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to help you." She pulled away and healed my stomach. I looked at her, but I had never seen her before.
Aunty Phoebe and Mommy were both crying, "Prue?"
But the nice lady was only looking at me, "Happy Birthday, Chris." She kissed my forehead and orbed away without even looked at Mommy and my aunties.
A.N.: So, it was longer. I'm sorry it's still really short, but I really just wanted to get it out there. So, how did you guys like it? And I know, there's not much dialogue in it, but you also have to understand that Chris is six and he's not going to remember much dialogue per say. He's going to remember the fights and arguments, etc. And can you guys do me a favor and review?
