Last Time...
"Since the demon attack, he's changed"
well at least she still believes it was a demon he thought. Clearing his throat, trying to sound concerned he asked "Changed, how?"
With her worry now overflowing she said in one breath. "He's quiet, he's jumpy, he's even insisted on sleeping in Wyatt's room. That's not normal for him Leo, he's usually got a comment for most things, its near impossible to make him jump and he's usually quite independent!" She spoke so fast that if Leo didn't know Piper as well as he did, he wouldn't have understood a single word she just ranted.
"Honey calm down" he calmly told her, putting his hands on her shoulders comfortingly. Looks like Chris and I need another chat he thought angrily.
"I can't calm down! there's something wrong and he won't tell me what! It can't just be the demon, he's been fighting demons since he could walk Leo!"
"It's probably nothing, do you want me to talk to him?"
"You could try but at the moment him and Wyatt are out with dad so maybe tomorrow?"
"Alright" he said softly and he pulled her into a tight embrace and kissed his wife on the top of her head. "It's gonna be ok"
Chapter 4: We need to talk
In the morning Chris was awake before everyone else in the house so he decided to go downstairs and make breakfast. Since he'd spent a lot of time with his mother while Wyatt was out with his dad he knew his way around the kitchen very well and had inherited his mothers culinary talents and began absent mindedly working around the kitchen getting and mixing everything he needed to make his favourite blueberry pancakes. He was just finishing off the last pancake when he heard the jingle of orbs enter behind him. He turned to greet the newcomer, thinking it was his older brother or aunt Paige but his face contorted to one of fear when he saw Leo standing before him.
"Ah you're alone. Good" Leo stated matter of factly and Chris remained silent "we need to talk" the child froze. Oh no, no no no no no he's gonna hurt me again. Mom, Wyatt wake up, help me! Chris thought frantically, wishing someone will wake up soon but managed to remain calm-ish on the outside. Leo carried on.
"Piper tells me you've been acting differently lately, why?" Chris just stood there still unable to talk.
"Well? I'm waiting!" Leo states impatiently. "I-I don't know" He replys truthfully. "Did you know I came home yesterday to your mother crying because of you" Leo spat out with underlying venom in his voice.
What did I do? I was good yesterday Chris thought but only managed to muster "but I was good" out of his mouth.
"Really? Because it seems you like hurting people in this family. First Wyatt and now my wife!" Leo near shouted at the now quivering child who had tears in his eyes that were threatening to fall. Leo took a deep breath to calm himself down, knowing that if he let his anger get the better of him right now he would awake and alert the other occupants of the house.
"Why do you have to be so useless? Wyatt never causes this family as many problems as you do." Chris' heart sank. Again he was compared to Wyatt in a negative way, and felt two inches tall.
"I'm sorry, I'll try harder" the child said almost too quiet for the human ear to hear. Leo smirked at his son's submission but there was a question still burning in the back of his mind.
"Have you told anyone about our recent discussion?" Chris shook his head. "Good. Because If you tell anyone about our discussions, no-one will believe you and you will tear this family apart" Discussions? Chris thought but then it dawned on him that what happened the other day will happen again which made him feel both nauseous and terrified. Leo was oblivious to this thought process and carried on talking the whole time.
"You like seeing your cousins and aunts don't you?" The child slowly nods his reply "you like seeing your mommy happy don't you?" Again Chris nods.
"Then you won't tell anyone about any discussions between us will you?" Chris slowly shakes his head. "I'm sorry?" Leo says provoking the child to speak. "No" Chris says quietly and solemnly.
"Good. So you will stop worrying and upsetting your mother won't you? Because I won't just talk to get the message through to you next time ok?"
"yes sir" Chris replied solemnly and as quickly as he'd appeared Leo dissapeared in a flurry of blue and white orbs. Chris just sank to the floor and sobbed.
