ON WITH THE FICCIE

Chapter 3

Chris woke up and realized that he was not in his bed. Standing up the memories came rushing back to him, the potion, his family, time traveling. Grabbing his head and wishing the banging would stop.

"Wyatt?" Chris called looking around the room trying to find him. Seeing that he was indeed alone, he walked out of his mom's room and towards the stairs but stopped when he heard very familiar voices.

"Dad" Wyatt cried and than ran over to him and wrapped his arms around his father.

"What!" Leo cried shocked, as his eldest son ran and hugged him. Memories of Chris's death came back to him hugged him. Leo gripped his son as tears prickled in his eyes. Wyatt pulled away and looked at him.

"What's the matter" he asked noticing his tears.

"Nothing" Leo lied looking at his son.

"Ok, but you had better hold in together for Chris, that is if sleeping beauty ever wakes up" Wyatt said forgetting that his father didn't know.

"What do you mean?" Leo asked in a small voice afraid of the answer. Wyatt was saved from answering when they heard a loud thump from the stair well.

"Chris" Piper gasped than ran out of the room. Everyone followed her out and when they reached the stairs, they saw Chris lying in a heap at the base of the stairs unconscious. He had a huge bleeding gash on his forehead and the darklighter that caused it was walking down the stairs towards where Chris lay. His crossbow was in his hand pointed and ready to fire at him.

"Hey" Piper cried flicking her hands. The darklighter looked up to late and got hit, but to everyone's surprise only his arm was blown away. Grimacing in pain the darklighter shimmered out holding his stump of an arm.

Wyatt ran up to him and lifted his brother so he was not laying face forward. Leo after getting over the shock of seeing his youngest son again ran forward scared for his life. He put his hands on his wound that was on his forehead and felt the familiar glow. The gash disappeared and Chris's eyes fluttered open. He sat up shakily with the help of Wyatt and looked around the room.

"Are you ok?" Wyatt asked him. Chris nodded his head and turned to his family. His mom had tears in her eyes and Paige and Phoebe were sighing in relief. Leo couldn't look his son in the eyes and held his gaze to the floor.

"Ok, big tip, when demons shimmer in behind you, try not to be standing in front of stairs" Chris said dryly. Wyatt laughed at his brother, despite the seriousness of the situation.

"Is that what happened?" Piper asked not amused by her son's sarcasm.

"Yea, I woke up in your bed and than came downstairs. The next thing I know is that I am flying down the stairs, than waking up and someone healing me" Chris said thoughtfully.

"So the darklighter was after Chris. I'll-"Paige started to say but was interrupted by Chris.

"No, I don't think he was after me, I mean come on, we just got here and I think he was after you but just happened to come along me" Chris said.

"That kinda makes sense" Phoebe said seeing the logic.

"Despite that we need to check the book" Paige said than walked up to get it. She entered the attic and went over to the Book of Shadows. When she got there she couldn't help but notice a blue backpack sitting on the floor. Shaking her head of these useless thoughts she grabbed the book and orbed downstairs.

"Ok, I got it" She cried holding it up. She opened the book and stated turning the pages looking for the demon.

"So he was definitely was a darklighter, but what confuses me is why he didn't blow up" Phoebe said.

"Wait he didn't blow up" Chris said looking at his Aunt.

"Only his arm did" Piper said.

The gears in Chris's mind started turning and went back through his mind to where he had fought them before.

"I can't find anything" Paige cried in frustration slamming the book shut.

"Nothing?" Piper asked concerned for her son, she still didn't believe that they were not after him.

"Nope" Paige said apologetically. Wyatt was silent and watched his younger brother, knowing that he would find the answer.

"You won't find him in the book" Chris said as the knowledge dawned on him. He remembered finding a research book in Magic School about a special kind of darklighters.

"I just said that" Paige said looking at her nephew.

"I know" Chris replied blankly.

"Ok, back to the point, Chris why can't we find them in the book" Piper asked.

"Because none of our ancestors have gone up against them, the only reason I know about it is because I snuck a book out of the library in Magic School trying to start a research assignment" Chris said.

"Wait, you snuck a book out?" Leo asked.

"Stay on the point" Piper reminded her husband.

"When I got the book to my room, I was startled to notice that I grabbed the wrong book but read it anyway. It was quite interesting, although I never thought I would use the information" Chris said thoughtfully.

"But what I did learn is there is or was a special kind of darklighter that was different than any other. They were immune to most common witch's powers and only went after powerful witches. The arrow that they use is different also, it is specially made so that the tip of the arrow is curved so if pulled out it would end up taking some vital organs with it" Chris continued.

Piper looked at her son shocked, Wyatt wasn't kidding when he said Chris was a genius.

"Wow, I wouldn't be able to memorize all that" Paige said rubbing her head. Phoebe nodded in agreement.

"What did I tell you, genius" Wyatt said with a huge grin.

"What else did you tell them about me?" he asked out loud than telepathically asked a different question.

"Did you tell them about….." Chris said knowing Wyatt would understand.

"Chris, I didn't mean too, but they heard me ask you if you had taken you meds and you know our family, they don't stop until they get what they are looking for" Wyatt said in Chris's mind.

"Great, now I have to deal with that too" Chris said mentally slapping his forehead.

"Sorry" Wyatt said.

Leo who had not looked his son in the eyes for very long looked at the ground pathetically. Wyatt noticed this.

"Hey, Dad is everything the matter?" he asked facing him. Now everyone turned to look at him and Chris's gaze hurt the most.

"I…Can I talk to you Chris. Alone?" Leo asked.

"Sure" he said than turned to Wyatt.

"I'll be right back" he said to him.

"Ok, but hurry, we need your large brain to finish the discussion about these demons" Wyatt said.

Chris nodded and followed his father into the kitchen. Leo turned around as the kitchen door swung closed and looked at his youngest son.

"Is everything the matter?" Chris asked. Tears came to Leo's eyes as he looked into Chris's green ones. So like his own yet different.

Leo didn't respond but pulled Chris into his arms and sobbed on his shoulder. Chris was stunned at his father. Chris was never a touchy feely kinda guy and awkwardly tried to calm his father down. Finally Leo calmed down and pulled away from his son, but still kept a tight grip on his son. Almost losing his son again was putting Leo near the edge.

"Are you ok?" Chris asked confused.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break down on you like that!" Leo replied wiping the tears out of his eyes.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Chris asked sensing his father was close to having an emotional break down. Chris didn't give the man time to respond and walked over to the table than patted the seat next to him wanting Leo to come sit down.

Leo cautiously walked over and sat next to his son, than pinched himself to make sure that he was not having a dream that Chris was really alive, that nothing bad happened, like the other version.

"What's up?" Chris asked looking at his father.

"Did I…..Well I mean….." Leo said trying to find the right words.

"Did you what?" Chris asked looking at his tongue tied father.

"Was I there for you?" Leo asked looking uncertainly at him.

"What do you mean?" Chris asked now really confused.

"Did I abandon you?" Leo asked getting worried. Chris choked on air and looked at his father with wide eyes.

"NO, why would you think that?" Chris cried.

"When Chris, or the other version of you came back from the future. He told me that I abandoned him and played favorites with Wyatt" Leo said looking shamefully at the floor.

That got Chris thinking, the other version, did he mean the one who came back to save Wyatt? Chris and Wyatt had never known about him, until Chris started getting memories when he was eleven. The whole family had than told them both the story of the brave man that had come save his older brother from turning evil.

"Don't worry. You were a great father, to both you sons. You helped me a lot when I went through a hard stage in my life. And you showed me a great place for thinking" Chris said trying to reassure his father that he was there for both of his sons.

"I did" Leo replied instantly cheering up from his son's confession.

"Yea, you were the best. Once when me and Wyatt were little you took us up to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge at night. I loved all the lights but Wyatt hated it, he's deathly scared of heights. So during the night when mom went to bed you would orb us up there just to spend time alone with me" Chris replied smiling at his memories.

Leo smiled too, happy that he improved from the last future. Even if this was not the same Chris that had come back, he was still his son.

"Wait, did the other Chris just die?" Chris asked. Leo's expression grew grave again but not as sad as the first time. Chris took that as a yes. Than his mind started working again and he remembered the first thing about time travel, don't tell too much of the future and slapped his head in frustration. Leo looked at him worried.

"What?" He asked.

"Can you just forget that I said that?" Chris replied looking at him. Leo looked at him like he was crazy, and than realized where the thought was coming from.

"No, but I can keep it between us" Leo replied. Chris wanted to argue back but thought it useless, knowing that it was as good as it was going to get.

"Okay" Chris replied with a small smile. Leo smiled back and stood up.

"We had better get back to the family or we both have hell to pay" Leo said gripping his son on the shoulder. Chris followed his father out of the kitchen and entered the room. Wyatt was sitting on the couch flipping through the Book of Shadows.

"I already told you that you won't find them in there" Chris said sitting down across from him. Unfortunately he sat next to his Aunt Phoebe, who began hugging him the moment he sat down.

"I know that dufus, I am not that stupid" Wyatt replied.

"Could have fooled me" Chris said with sarcasm in his voice. Wyatt looked up from the book and glared at him. He chose not to reply because he remembered that Chris didn't take his meds and it would make the situation ten times worse.

"Where did you leave your meds?" Wyatt replied.

Chris shrugged and replied "In my blue backpack, which was sitting near the potion table in the future"

"Great" Wyatt groaned shutting the book.

"Wait a blue backpack. I saw one sitting on the floor in the attic" Paige said suddenly remembering.

"So it must have accidentally traveled with us" Wyatt said scratching his head.

"Why does Chris have to take medication?" Leo asked, he had not been here for the conversation so he was confused.

"I will go get my backpack while you explain, since you've felt free to do it with everyone else" Chris replied a little mad that Wyatt had told everyone. He wanted to be treated normal, but I guess almost doing suicide makes people treat and look at you differently.

"Come on Chris, I said I was sorry" Wyatt said not wanting Chris to be mad at him, but Chris had already left the room and headed for the attic.
