Family
"Leo!", Piper ran at her husband, as he orbed at the Halliwell manor. "What you've done? where's Chris?".
"The Elders... The Titans killed them... Chris knew, he knew what would happen to them and didn't tell us nothing about it. We can't trust him, Piper. There's something very wrong with him. I can feel it", Leo was breathing heavily.
"What are you talking about? The Elders are dead. How?", Phoebe asked. And before Leo could answer, Chris orbed there.
"You...Get out!", Leo yelled, clenching his fists in anger. He was about to hit him, when Chris grabbed his wrist:
"Don't dare punch me again!", Chris said firmly, before pushed him against the ground.
"Hey!", Piper ran to her husband.
"Look, you need to listen to me! Some of the Elders are still alive, they managed to escape from the Titans. And you, Leo, need to shut up and help them!".
Leo stood up, still feeling very angry. "I don't trust you... You...".
"Please, Leo, calm down", Paige interrupted him. "Explain yourself, Chris. If you're here to help, please trust us. Tell the truth".
Chris nodded. Paige was right, he needed to say something more about the future: "Ok... Wyatt is in danger. I'm here to help him, because someone will run after him in the future".
"What?", Piper brought her hand to her chest. "Wyatt...". She was terrified.
"I'm really sorry about the Elders, but I'm not here to change all the past. I'm here to help Wyatt, to prevent this event. I'm really sorry...", he said sincerely.
Piper looked at his eyes and felt it. "He was being honest...". She said, trusting in her instincts. She didn't know why, but she felt an urge to trust him, as her own future depended that.
Leo rolled his eyes and started to muttered something, but Piper put her hands on his shoulder: "Let's give him a chance...", she said quietly to her husband.
Chris looked at the people in front of him, it wouldn't be easy: "Leo, you need to help the Elders who survived and guide them. Now you're the only one who can do what must to be done... You need to guide the Elders and the Charmed Ones to the victory. You are the key to defeat the Titans".
"Me? What are you talking about?", Leo was a bit confused.
"You know how to vanquish the Titans, Leo. There's one way to do that", Chris said firmly.
"It's too dangerous! That's why the Elders forbidden it", Leo pointed.
"What he's talking about, Leo?", Phoebe asked to him.
"He wants me to release Gaia's essence", Leo answered.
"Gaia? The goddess of the Earth?", Paige raised an eyebrow.
"This is craziness! It would be too dangerous for all of us!", Leo pointed. What the hell that boy was thinking?
"Do it", Piper said confidently. She would protect her son, her family, no matter what.
"Piper... You don't understand. One of you would receive the goddess essence", Leo explained.
"So you need to choose wisely", Paige remarked.
"I can't... The power could kill you in the process ... I can't do this! And you know that", Leo pointed to Chris.
"Everything is gonna be ok... Trust me!", Chris replied quietly.
"I can do it", Phoebe volunteered herself.
"Phoebe...", Piper muttered. "Calm down... ".
"No, Piper, I can do this. You have Wyatt to care of and Paige deserves a break... Look, let me be part of the solution this time. You made a lot of sacrifices because of me, let me do something for you", she said, remembering all the things her sisters went through because of her last year.
"You know you don't need to prove yourself, don't you?", Paige asked, realizing that her sister was talking about Cole.
"Maybe not, but I want do this...", Phoebe explained.
Leo nodded and held out his hands to her: "Let's go before I regret it".
Phoebe took his hand and they orbed to Up There.
"I hope my sister would be safe, future boy", Piper warned Chris.
Up There, some doors opened and Leo walked in holding an urn. He started to whispered some words and a bright light rose out of the urn and wrapped Phoebe's body.
"I can feel it", the young witch said quietly, feeling all that power inside her.
Leo looked at her hopefully. "You have Gaia's powers now, Phoebe. Use them wisely for your own good", he warned her.
She nodded and smiled. "Let's go see what I'm capable to do now...".
"Wait...", Leo started to say something, but she faded out, without listen to him.
Phoebe was completely enchanted with the fact that now she was able to do something similar to orb. And she transported herself from place to place, until finally came back home.
"Phoebe, are you ok? And Leo? Where is he?", Piper looked at her sister, sensing something different on her.
"Me? I'm perfectly fine... I just picked up a few powers... And I have to admit, it's great! You don't need to worry about Leo. He's perfectly safe Up There", she replied.
Chris noticed the twinkle in Phoebe's eyes. She was enchanted by her new powers, but they didn't have time for that. She needed to fight the Titans, vanquish them: "Phoebe, listen to me... You need to control your powers and vanquish the Titans. We didn't have...".
"Shut up, blue eyes!", she interrupted him, looking deeply into his eyes. "Now I know who you remember me...".
"I don't know what are you talking about...", Chris said seriously.
"You have the same look, the same blue eyes of him... You're so like him... So self-confident and arrogant... You and your secrets... Exactly like Cole! And I hate him, I hate him!", Phoebe waved her hands and Chris flied across the room. He hit the wall and knocked unconscious on the ground.
"Oh, my God!", Phoebe was terrified about what she had just done.
"He'll be okay, Phoebe", Paige said, touching his face. "But you need to control your powers, don't let them control you".
"And we're here to help you...", Piper said softly, putting her hands in her sister's shoulder.
Phoebe nodded and looked sadly at Chris. She knelled at him and whispered in his ear: "Wake up, blue eyes...".
Chris opened his eyes, feeling a little dizzy.
"I'm sorry", Phoebe told him, stroking his hair.
He looked at her coldly and got up: "It's ok... Who's Cole?", he asked, as if he had the slightest idea who Cole Turner was.
"Her demonic lo...", Paige started to explain, but she was interrupted by Phoebe:
"He was evil, that's all you need to know", she replied full of resentment. "I'm sorry... I didn't want to hurt you...".
"It's ok...", he looked away. He hated the way she talked about his father, but he needed to forget it. He needed to focus on the battle. "You have something to do, Phoebe. It's serious, you need to use your powers to defeat the Titans".
Phoebe took a deep breath before replied: "Let's do it. Let's vanquish them".
"And how we can find them?", Piper raised an eyebrow.
"Well they like to track orbs...", Phoebe looked at Paige.
Paige rolled her eyes. "I understand the message. You can rest, future boy. I'm able to do the job", she said and started to orb around the manor. After two minutes, she stopped: "I think they're sleeping...", she joke about them. But suddenly the Titans appeared in the room.
Cronus smiled when he looked at Phoebe. "Look, what we have here... A fake goddess. What do you think, Demitrius? What we should do? Just kill them or just play a little?
Demitrius smiled and waved his hand, making Piper, Paige and Chris fly against the wall. "I said we should kill all of them. Now!", the Titan smiled, looking straight at Phoebe's eyes.
"Don't be afraid! Use your power, you can vanquish them...", Chris said weakly, trying to get up.
"Shut your mouth", Cronus said furiously and tried to attack him.
"No!", Phoebe yelled. She didn't know why, but she felt the urge to protect him. She waved only one hand and the room started to shake. Cronus and Demetrius looked dumbfounded at her, as a hole opened in the ground in front of them. There was a fiery pit below.
Cronus cried, as Phoebe waved her hand again, making him and Demetrius fell into it. Piper and Paige were in shock, seeing the hole to close, like nothing happened.
"Good job!", Chris put his hands on Phoebe's shoulder. She nodded and closed her eyes. Even the way he touched her shoulder remembered her Cole. And she never could anticipate that would be so paintful.
"Thanks...", she said quietly, turning away from him.
While Paige and Piper stood up, bright lights announced the arrival of a group of Elders. To Piper's surprise, Leo seemed some kind of leader.
"Good job on this, Phoebe... I knew you would find a way to control Gaia's powers and save us", Leo said, with a strange tone in his voice. "But it's time to return them".
Phoebe nodded and Leo lifted the lid of the urn. At the same moment, Phoebe's god powers started to return to it.
Piper looked sadly at her husband. She noticed that something changed. He wasn't only dressed like an Elder; he was also speaking as one. No, this couldn't be happening. "Leo... Why are you dressed like one of them?", she tried to approach him.
"We'll talk later, Piper", Leo said seriously, turning away from her. "Now we need to go Up There and find a way to organize ourselves again. And you", he pointed to Chris "We'll decide what we should do about you, future boy".
"But...", Piper whispered, seeing them disappear in front of her.
"What the hell was that?", Paige asked, understanding nothing.
"Leo is embracing his destiny", Chris remarked.
Piper felt her blood turn into ice. She couldn't deny all the signs. "An Elder...", she whispered to herself.
Chris looked sadly at her. Piper would suffer a lot, because of Leo's decision to join the Elders. He decided let Phoebe and Paige to comfort her, and orbed far away from the Halliwell manor.
Chris couldn't resist to temptation and find himself at New York. He just wanted to see his father, he wanted to see him alive again. He could never forget the day his own aunt told in detail how she killed him.
He always could sense his father. Even as a little baby, he always knew how to find him.
And this time wasn't different.
Behind a corner of a street, Chris could see Cole Turner.
With someone else...
"I love you", the blond woman said, caressing Cole's face.
Chris saw his father simply nodded and wrapped her around his arms. He wanted to fry that woman who was kissing his father. He's not yours, Chris formed a little energy ball on his right hand. But he managed to control himself. His father wasn't cheating his mother. And that poor woman wasn't doing nothing wrong. Still it was painful saw Cole with another woman.
But suddenly Chris remembered something. That woman, he remembered the old story now. Before married his mother, Cole dated a Valkyrie.
A Valkyrie who fell in love and would do anything to protect her secret... Maybe, just maybe, she could be useful.
Just maybe.
A/N: Ok, guys, the next chapters will be different from the original story. And one more time: I'm sorry for what happened.
