"Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future."

When the white orbs cleared everyone stared in shock at who they saw. The male of the pair waved his hand toward the still sobbing Phoebe and she slowly stopped her tears. She too looked up to see what had stilled all the emotions in the room. When she saw him her heart stopped.
The woman Turned to Chris and smiled a loving smile. Then turned to Bianca, gave her a gentle smile and a nod. Next she turned to Piper and Leo. Her face contorted to one of hatred, disgust and anger.
Everyone stayed seemingly frozen. The silence was defining to everyone in the room except to the two visitors.
Piper's sobs and stopped but the tears had not. She turned to the woman and said in a voice barely higher than a whisper " P-Prue? Wh-What are...? How are y-you h-hear? I-I thought th-that you weren't al-aloud to come hear?"
Prue scowled menacingly at her so called sister. "I am aloud to be hear, Piper. I'm a protector. It is my calling. I'm Chris' protector. Although, Chris shouldn't need a protector in the first place." Prue said this with such bitterness and venom that Piper visibly flinched at the words.
"There, there Prue. I'd tell you to be nice but they don't deserve it." The man said just loud enough to wake everyone up at once.
"Cole? How and why are you here! I told you before that I never wanted to see you again! You can't get me back not know not ever! How are you even alive! Get out! Get out now!" Phoebe screamed louder than she ever had before. Attempting to stare down the man she once loved.
Cole turned word's his ex-wife. "Don't worry Phoebe I'm not hear for you. And it doesn't matter what you want. You, along with Leo and your sisters, do not deserve my well spent time. The only one in this family who is not a hypocrite or disgrace to the Halliwell name is Chris." His voice was startlingly calm. It added a menacing tone to his words. "As to why I'm alive, I'm a guardian. Chris' guardian to be exact. Honestly, I have no desire to be with you ever again. You see, you are nothing like the woman I thought you were. The woman I fell in love with would never ignore one nephew for another. She would never cut off his emotions to her empath powers. You are not the woman I love; no you're an awful person."
The words hurt Phoebe more than she would like to believe. She stared at Cole the hurt evident on her face. She couldn't believe any of it. First her youngest nephew turns out to be King Arthur. Then she gets bombarded my feelings of guilt, sadness, confusion and self hatred. After that her DEAD sister and ex-husband show up and say they're there for her less important nephew. Now her ex, who was once obsessed with getting her back and who she still secretly loved and could never get over, was standing there telling her that she was horrible and nothing like the woman he loved. She couldn't believe this. Yeah she had blocked off Chris' emotions from her radar but for good reason. She had to pay attention to Wyatt. He was more powerful and it was more dangerous if he ever turned evil. That's what the other Chris had tried so hard to prevent. She couldn't let it happen, and she didn't need to use her empathy powers on Chris, or at least she thought she didn't. She had always assumed that he would always love them that are how the other Chris was. That's when she realized their mistake. They had always assumed Chris would love them because of the other Chris. She turned to her nephew and tried to read him. They locked eyes for a moment and Phoebe saw the same expression she had once seen in the other Chris. His eyes were guarded and she couldn't get a read on him. He had blocked himself from her. She couldn't stop thinking of all the times she had ignored him or pushed him away as she stared into his emerald eyes.
Phoebe was ripped from her thoughts by the sound of Piper's voice. "What? First off Cole do not speak to my sister that way. And Prue why are you so angry at us? We didn't do anything wrong! And why would Chris need both a protector and a guardian? He's the weaker of the two. He fell in love with a 15 year old assassin. Why is he so important to need the two of you?"
Chris froze when he heard his mother's words. He felt his heart clench in an awful way. Bianca growled a low menacing growl and tightened her grip on Chris. Chris thought of how lucky it was that he had blocked his emotions from Phoebe when they locked eyes. He was also grateful for Bianca holding him up or he probably would have collapsed by now. He turned to his girlfriend and for the first time since this whole mess started he showed his emotion. He showed her how heartbroken and defeated he felt before once again kissing her.
Bianca lost it at the heartbroken and defeated look on her love's face. After they kissed again she turned to Piper and Leo hatred evident on her face. "You bitch! How can you not see how important and magnificent Chris is? He needs a protector and guardian because he is a thousand times more powerful than Wyatt is. You are all unbelievable. Paige, Wyatt it's funny how neither of you actually stood up for Chris until know. Phoebe, Leo and Piper you all probably still think Chris is inferior to Wyatt when he's not. Cole, Prue thank you for watching over Chris. I hope you all realize that he is ten times the witch any of you are and has a bigger heart than all of your hearts combined." She knew that he was probably going to sleep at her place tonight and that was fine by her, they usually stayed up late watching movies anytime he stayed with her. Then they would always wake up on the couch to the smell of her mother's cooking. She was glad her mom liked Chris it made things so much easier. With that she turned back to her love and whispered a quick "let's go" before shimmering them both to her house.
The rest of the Halliwells were left to stare at the spot Chris had been. Wyatt broke the awkward silence saying "What have we done? We treated him like shit and we're the ones he is supposed to be able to count on. WE probably just made the biggest mistake of our lives."
Cole and Prue nodded in agreement. "Yes you have. The question is can you fix it?" With that Prue and Cole orbed away to continue their unseen watch over their charge. They both knew that they were going to have to take a more active role in their charges life now. They left the rest of the family to think about the huge mistake they made and figure out a way to fix it all.
Meanwhile in the underworld…..
A high level demon named Colvac passed back and forth waiting for his minions to return. With news on the Halliwell boy.
Right on que one of his minions shimmered in "Sir, they have discovered that the boy is the true hair to the thrown. I'm afraid it may be too late to reach him now."
Colvac turned to his minion with an evil smile on his face "No, Detrimos, this is not a problem. The family has spent years pushing the boy away. We simply have to put the plan ion action sooner that's all. The boy will either join us willingly or by force either way he will join us. Now go Detrimos watch him and keep me updated."
With that Detrimos bowed to his master and said " Yes master." Then he quickly shimmered out to resume his watch on the youngest Halliwell.
Colvac smiled when Detrimos left. "With Christopher on my side I am sure to become the source in no time. And once I become the source ruler of the world should be no problem. I'll have the boy completely under control." He said to him self before flaming away to attend to an issue he was having with some demons attempting to make a claim on his territory.
Okay that was the end of chapter four. I know the whole demon wants to rule the world thing is a bit clisa but I couldn't come up with a better Idea. If any of you have one on why this demon wants Chris let me know. I couldn't let Paige and Wyatt get away with playing hero all of a sudden so Bianca addressed let me know what you think of this. REVIWE please!
