Chapter 3: A call from broken world

Broken world, 2026…

She lay on her back, whispering Mary has a little lamb. She was all alone in the last piece of the world. Around her was blackness.

"Hey, Prudence Melinda Halliwell, why are you still alive?" She started talking to herself. "In a world like this?"

Everything happened too quickly. She still remembered the warmth of Julie's hand holding her. Maybe it's a day, or an hour… and the last part of the world suddenly broken apart, much more quickly than ever before.

"Mom, Wy, when my time comes, where will I go? Or I will just disappear."

…. The silence froze around her, gave her no answer.

"Chris, where the hell are you? Come back and kill me, you bastard." She was suddenly furious. Her voice was swallowed up by the nothingness.

"Right, you won't answer me. You never answer me since the day you attended the Guard. Right. And I also shut our link since the day you killed our mom. Too much for being twin. Hah." A bitter laugh escaped from her throat, sound like a cough. Again, the silence wrapped her with its strong arms.

She felt so empty that she couldn't shed even one drop of tear. She just looked at the picture on her hand. Her mom hugged her, Wyatt stood beside them and put his hand on her shoulder. The left side of the picture had been tore by her own hand long time ago. Prue still could imagine that part inside her mind … He stood there, didn't touch any one, lonely in his own family.

She remembered how she had grown up with Wyatt, with her mom always besides her. She remembered even though her dad had died before she was born but mom did take good care of her. So did she with Wyatt… But Chris had never been around in that childhood…

"You will be a good child for me, right, Chris? I'm so sorry but it's better this way."

Prue woke up at midnight at the sudden noise in her dream. It was Chris. She got out of her bed and went to Chris and Wy's bedroom. The sniffing from her mother's room attracted her. The door wasn't completely closed. She took a peek. There were a lot of people in the room. They all wore strange golden robe which she never had seen before. Her aunts were also in there. They silently looked down at a small figure. Chris. Mom was kneeling down before him, hugged him tightly.

"It's time for us to go, Piper. And it doesn't mean you two can't see each other anymore, right." One of the strange men said. And mom let out of Chris. He didn't say anything, just quietly grabbed the hand of the man besides him. They all orbed out. In the storm of blue orbs, Prue felt like Chris just took a quick glance at her. The look clutched her heart with pain. And then an empty feeling suddenly swallowed up the pain.

"Did I do wrong?" Her mom whispered, still stare at the place where they just orbed out.

"Piper, honey, he will become an angel just like his dad, isn't it great? He will be protected better Up There, right?" Aunt Phoebe tried to comfort her. "You can't take care of three children alone. He will understand. It's not your fault, honey. It's not."

From that night, Prue barely saw her brother. He left early before she woke up and returned so late when everybody already slept. And everytime she thought of the silence in the other side of the link they shared from their birth, something would happen and distract her.

Her eyes widened in realization. "Why did he do that, Prue?" Julie's voice danced around her ears.

"You really hate me, right, Chris? Because of me, you was given to Up There since you was that young. And always lonely. Isn't it the reason you took the revenge on our family? Why didn't you kill only me? Why did you let me alive in this world? To feel the loneliness that you had to feel? CHRIS! ANSWER ME!" Prue shouted to the space upon her.

….

"Please, let me die. Please, God. Let me die. I don't want to be alive like this. Please, Chris, if you could hear me, please come back and kill me. I'm begging you. Everything ended. This world had already broken. Please don't let me die alone… Please, Chris!" Prue opened the link between those two and called desperately with all her left power.

She knew her own legs gradually broken into pieces. But she had no more strength to feel the pain.

"Chris…."

Present day…

He walked down the hallway of Magic School. The stone walls resounded with his steps, made them sound like battle drum. He stopped at an old picture of a tea party. The old lady winked with him under her black hat. He touched the picture and a black hole gradually opened.

"Chris, is everything okay?" Zachary, the telepath jumped at him to ask. "I can't find the third one."

"It's ok, Zach. I found her. Where are the other two?"

Zach pointed at another door. Chris nodded with him.

"You did well, Zach. Take them to our base, I will come back right after I take care of your principal."

"I want to fight with you!" Zach said.

"Save your strength for the last day." Chris smiled and waved his hand. Zach didn't have enough time to argue more. He disappeared with cloud of orbs, also the two witches in the next room.

"I don't want your hand dirty until the last day. Mine is enough."

Chris whispered and looked down at his hand. The vision of blood filled his mind. A lot of blood.

… "Who do you think you are? You are not god. You are stronger than us and it's the only difference. We killed to survive, so do you. You are as evil as us. We have the right to live, too." The fire in her eyes made him hesitant. What she said was right. But he didn't have enough time to think, even to realize how Gideon killed her. Her blood spread in the air. Some dropped on his hand. That was her last words that woke him up from the long dream.

"Bianca!" The woman besides the dead girl screamed. And the battle began. Chris fought unconsciously until the Phoenix clan was all killed. His Light Sword was full of blood and his mind never stopped crying, why? WHY?

…

"Bianca Phoenix? What do you want with her data, Chris?" Aunt Billie asked him. He just asked her to find information of that girl with her searching engine.

"It's for our file. I can handle it from now. Thank you, aunt Billie." He sat down before the computer.

Bianca the Phoenix, she had a really normal life. Hanging out with her friends, studying and she just graduated from high school with excellent grade. "We have the right to live, too." Her word haunted his mind.

"Police from XXX district just discovered an awful criminal. A chief killed his wife 3 years ago and kept her dead body in his cooler." The voice of announcer on TV news was so calm.

Chris gulped dryly. The innocents. The Phoenix assassin. "Who do you think you are? You are not god." Her blood was on his hand and he could never brush it away.

… "Chris, forgive me for everything… Protect Wyatt and Prue for me… please…" That was his mom's last words while she was dying on his hands. Her blood from the wound caused by the Light Sword dripped down to his hands.

… "Chris, I knew it all. I knew it all… that's the Time Break, jump to it, it will take you to the past. Think of the year you want to come back. Fix this… Fix this…" That was Prairie, his little cousin's last words. With her reading mind power, she understood everything right after he touched her. He wished he had done it sooner. He left her behind with a world breaking after the Explosion of Power to jump into the Time Break. Her blood was still warm on his hand when he landed at 2004, the year everything began.

"You really hate me, right, Chris? Because of me, you was given to Up There since you was that young. And always lonely. Isn't it the reason you took the revenge on our family? Why didn't you kill only me? Why did you let me alive in this world? To feel the loneliness that you had to feel? CHRIS! ANSWER ME!"

Sudden voice woke him up from the hallucination of the past. Chris looked around. Prue. A call from a broken world.

"Then, that world came to the end." Chris took the last look at the picture of Bianca on his hand before put it back to the pocket before his chest. "Let's go, Bianca. We will finish this."
