ON WITH THE FICCIE

Chapter 3

When Chris woke up he realized that he was not in the cave where his master was and that he was lying on a feathery soft bed. His bed had always been on the ground and chained to the pole so he couldn't escape, but he never tried he had nowhere to go, his parents had abandoned him when he was born and left him with a demon. Chris cautiously stood up and went over to the door. After opening the door and walking slowly towards the stairs he went down them and as he was about to open the door, he heard voices talking about him.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Who do you think he is" Paige asked her sisters.

"I don't know, Paige, more importantly did you see him" Piper said.

"Yea, that's probably the most severe case of abuse I have seen in all my years as a social worker" Paige said.

"The way he was chained up like that, it looks like he was some type of slave, we should be careful he could be a demon, and after all he is a slave of a demon" Phoebe said.

"Come on Phoebe, he's just a little boy, and he hasn't shown any powers so maybe he's just a regular boy" Piper said, feeling like she needed defend the boy.

"Yea, Pheebs, it's obvious that he was abused and Pipers right, until we can get some answers from him than we can decide what to do with him" Paige said.

"Yea let's just wait until Leo gets back, before we decide anything" Piper said.

As if on cue, Leo orbed down in front of him.

"Hey, what did the Elders say?" Piper asked.

"Nothing, they don't know anything about him" Leo answered "Has he woken up"

"No" Phoebe answered.

"The Elders are calling, I'll be right back" Leo said as he orbed out.

The boy stepped backwards away from the kitchen and ran back to the bedroom. If he was a demon he had never shown any powers. He knew that he couldn't be a demon, he was just an orphan whose parents gave him up. His thoughts were interrupted when one of the women that were downstairs came into the room. Out of instinct he shyed back against the wall.

"It's ok, do you remember me, my names Piper" she said.

He nodded but didn't say anything, and piper continued.

"Are you hungry, I made some Pancakes if you want some" Piper asked.

The boy nodded and let Piper come next to him and lead him down to the kitchen. As they entered everything got quiet, they were obviously talking about him. Piper led him over to table and sat him down, than placed pancakes in front of him. Everyone watched as he took the fork placed for him on the table and poke the pancake as if he didn't know what is was. They watched him until he looked at them and they quickly averted their eyes to whatever else they were doing.

"So, um do you remember us" Phoebe asked trying to get a conversation started. The boy just looked down at his lap and didn't answer.

Seeing his discomfort Piper suggested that he should go watch television in the front room. As she got back to the kitchen she could see Leo orbing down in front of them.

"The Elders say that they're has been a major power serge, even more powerful than Wyatt." Leo said

"But how is that even possible" Piper said.

"The Elders don't know which is why we need answers from that boy you saved yesterday" Leo continued.

Good luck, he hasn't said a word, since he woke up" Piper said.

While they were having their conversation, Wyatt orbed into the living room after magic school and was surprised to see a boy sitting on the couch staring at the TV with wide eyes.(Authors Note: Since he was raised in the underworld and by a demon he knows all about magic, but knows nothing about the outside world)

"Hi, who are you?" Wyatt asked as he sat down next to him. Wyatt was not expecting what he did next, so he was a little surprised. The boy that he tried to talk to jumped off the couch and ran into the corner, watching Wyatt with fearful eyes.

"Hey, you ok" Wyatt asked stepping near him. The boy's only answer was to try and push himself further into the wall.

The Charmed ones and Leo after hearing the thump the boy made when he fell off, came rushing in to check on him and saw Wyatt.

"Hey, who's he" Wyatt asked his mother, pointing to the boy.

"We don't know yet" Piper answered her son and stepped slowly towards the boy. The boy did the same thing as when Wyatt tried to get near him.

"Hey it's ok, remember we're not going to hurt you" Piper said trying to calm the scared boy down.

"That's my son Wyatt and my husband Leo" Piper said pointing to each of them.

Leo tried walking towards the boy sticking out his hand to try and heal his arm which he had cut when he fell, and was bleeding really bad. The boy thinking that Leo was going to hit him cringed and lowered his head, getting ready to take anything that they did.

Leo seeing his actions stopped going near him and pulled back his hand. Paige knowing what this reaction was asked if she could talk to them in the kitchen. Everyone except the boy followed Paige into the kitchen.

"Ok, what was that all about" Wyatt asked "Why did he do that when all dad was trying to do was heal him.

"I don't think he knew the difference, he has probably been abused and hit his whole life, so when Leo raised his hand, he must have thought that he was going to hit him. It's very common in abused children to see that kind of reaction." Paige said.

"Well we must get him to trust us somehow" Phoebe said "Paige, what do you think?"

"All cases are different, so we have to be careful about what we do, are reactions to things will set off different emotions" Paige said.

Wyatt getting bored with the conversation went back into the living room to go check on the boy. He saw that he had not moved from the corner. He slowly walked toward him.

"Hey, you ok" Wyatt asked the shaking boy. The boy didn't answer and put is knees up to his body and layed hid head on them.

"I'm Wyatt" Wyatt said "What's yours"

Again he didn't answer and just kept staring off into space. Wyatt seeing that he was not going to talk soon orbed his old teddy bear over to him and offered him to the boy.

"This is Alex, when I was little, he was given to my brother, and when my brother died it was given to me. When I got scared, I would just hold him and think of my brother, it always made me feel safe" Wyatt said.

The boy looked at Wyatt and than at the teddy bear, he grabbed the teddy bear and hugged him.

"See, we only want to help you and we can't help you if you don't talk to us" Wyatt said trying to get him to talk. Little did they know that Paige, Phoebe, Piper and Leo were watching them from the door.

"How… the boy said, his voice barely high enough to be heard "How did you brother die?

Wyatt made a small smile and said "He was killed by a demon, when he was one"

"I'm sorry" boy said.

"It's ok, it was a long time ago" Wyatt said.

Piper and Leo watched with pride as their son talked to him. Paige and Phoebe smiled.

While they were distracted a demon flamed in behind them, throwing a fireball at their backs. Paige having hearing him throw it, turned around and orbed out so the fireball couldn't hit her. Now everyone knew that the demon was there.

Paige orbed back in front of Wyatt and the boy and stood protectively in front of them.

Leo walked back and took Paige's place as she went to go help fight the demon. The sisters saw that it was a Tremor demon, one of Tak's minions.

The Tremor demon flamed out confusing the sisters but flamed back in front of Leo and the boys.

"I did not come to fight" the demon said "I just came to get the boy"

"Tough luck, you can't have him" Wyatt said.

"He's the property of my Lord, he rightfully belongs to us. Now give him back" the demon shouted.

Seeing that Leo and Wyatt weren't going to move her forcefully threw Leo and Wyatt out of the way and went to grab the boy. The boy didn't want to go back, he was backing up against the wall. Wishing he was anywhere else, he willed himself to get away, only to disappear in blue orbs.

Everyone except the demon was shocked. They knew that they wanted the kid back bad, but not why they wanted him. What shocked them the most was that he could orb, a whitelighter power.

"Damn, Tak said he wouldn't have his powers" the demon said before flaming out to follow the boy.

"What just happened" Wyatt asked as he stood up.

"Hurry, we have to find him" Piper cried "Leo can you sense him"

Leo closed his eyes and looked for him, after a minute he found him.

"Yea, Golden Gate Bridge" Leo said orbing to the bridge. Piper and Phoebe grabbed Paige's hand and followed Leo. Wyatt followed them.

As the materialized on the bridge they saw the boy standing on the middle staring with wide eyes at the city below. Before they could do anything the demon flamed in and walked toward him.

Piper was ready this time and blew him up. Wyatt walked over to the boy and saw him holding Alex tightly.

"I did as you said" the boy said. Wyatt smiled and took the boys hand and orbed back to the manor.
