Chapter 4: Complications
While Paige was with Richard and Phoebe was trying to reach Phoebe, Chris had orbed to the Underworld to find answers about how to fix his parents so that he could get back to trying to save Wyatt. Making sure nobody can see him, Chris glamour himself so that he looked like a dark lighter, everything about him screamed Dark Lighter, he wore dark armor, he had a crossbow with poisoned darts and his orbs were dark. Even his aura was full of malice and evil, which if Chris wasn't so used to using this glamor it would have made him feel sick to his stomach. Unfortunately, Chris is so used to using this spell that it felt like a second skin.
This glamour spell he created at the start of the rebellion when it became obvious that there was no going back for his brother when his fellow white lighters and elder were dropping like flies from the dark lighter and his brother. Out of desperation he created this spell to send some of the surviving white lighters to infiltrate the dark lighter cells and assassinate them. Over time it became obvious that there was a spy in the dark lighters ranks and rather than root out who it is Wyatt destroyed the dark lighters having decided he could take us out on his own and giving the rebellion a huge victory by eliminating the dark lighters.
Once he was settled, Chris headed to the Seer's Pool to gather some intel about how he could fix his parents before he is either not born or is born as the virtual Anti-Christ. It is bad enough that Wyatt become the Source in the future, but if Chris were to become evil or if he was born evil? The world would never survive, it is not a well-known fact but Chris is actually stronger than Wyatt. Chris may not have as many powers as his brother, but what powers he does have are infinitely more powerful than Wyatt's could ever hope to be. That is why Wyatt is so desperate for him to join him, Wyatt would rather Chris join him than to kill him not because they are brothers, but because it would be a waste of powers if Wyatt were to kill him. There is nothing Wyatt hates more than to have to waste power when he could have it for himself, and since it is impossible for Wyatt to possess Chris's powers it would indeed be a waste to kill him.
With a grimace at his dark thoughts, Chris shook his head. He needed to focus, if he has any hope of saving Wyatt, than he has to focus on the mission. Right now his mission is fixing his parents, then he could worry about Wyatt, he still has time.
"Hello Christopher," an alluring voice rasped his name, Chris shuddered as he heard the familiar voice of the Dark Seer. The woman was indeed beautiful and seductive alright. If he weren't so in love with Bianca than he would indeed want to seduce this woman and make her his, however he is in love with his Phoenix and this woman standing before him will die soon so even if he didn't have someone waiting for him at home, he wouldn't have a chance with this doomed woman.
With a nod of respect toward the Dark Seer, Chris straightened his stance in an almost military pose. Hearing the name Christopher as opposed to Chris and with such a powerful voice, never failed to make Chris revert back to being the soldier of the Rebellion. Chris may have been the leader of the Rebellion, but first he was a soldier and he will never not be a soldier. Old habits die hard and all.
"I take it you know who I am?" Chris asked softly but firmly, he could show no weakness here but that didn't mean he had to be disrespectful…yet.
With a hum of approval of the young witch-lighter before her, the Dark Seer observed the young man. The Dark Seer knew her fate, she knew she will die soon and she knew who will kill her, but rather than waste her time by trying to prolong her life and status in the Underworld, she decided to not waste a single moment. The Dark Seer wasn't always a demon, she used to be a witch of some renown. In fact she used to be one of the most powerful witches of her time, but then she like so many witches fell prey to the true demon…love. She fell in love with someone who could never love her back and thus decided to make a deal with the devil to gain his affections. It worked only too well. Instead of loving her, the man fell into an obsession and she was forced to kill him. When the devil came for her, she was a broken and twisted woman and decided she had nothing left to lose and nothing more to live for. With that decision she fled to the Underworld and used her gifts for anyone who came for her services. The Dark Seer didn't care if you were Good, Evil or Neutral. As long as they didn't try to kill her and paid her then she left you alone and helped you.
Soon her time on this world will be over and she could rest. But before she goes she is determined to help the man who in another world would become her best friend and who fights to make sure the man who would become her lover is whole once again. She is determined that she will help the man who would free her from her hell and the man who would soon be her killer.
With that in mind she opened her mouth to tell him who is after his brother, but before she could tell him he cried out in pain and collapsed to the floor. Shocked she watched as the man before her twisted and writhed in pain, screaming for it to stop and for help. As he screamed, cried and begged for mercy his body shifted and changed. The glamor falling as his body and mind were in too much pain to keep the spell up. Finally after what seemed like hours upon hours of torture the pain fled and in the place of the Leader of the Rebellion and the second son of Piper Halliwell was a woman. The Leader of the Rebellion he may be, but he can no longer call himself the second son of Piper Halliwell. For now he is the first Daughter of Piper Halliwell. As the woman on the floor panted in exhaustion and winced in pain, the Seer had only one thought as the Future shifted and changed.
Everything has changed! Before the Seer could process this series of event, the sound of a crossbow echoed in the suddenly silent room and all she felt was pain as she was shot from behind, killing her instantly.
