A/N Hi everybody! Sorry! I took longer than usual to update but here it is! This chapter is shorter than usual but the next one will be longer i promise! Okay now on with the story!
As soon as they appeared in the next memory they all noticed they were in the same place they'd just left. People dressed entirely in black were leaving the church. A funeral had obviously just taken place. The sisters and Leo walked towards the large, oak doors and looked inside. There were two white coffins set up with flowers decorated around them at the front of the church and to their horror they saw the hang down screen with a picture of Phoebe and Paige set upon it.
"Oh no." Piper whispered.
"So it's our funeral now." said Phoebe.
"Yeah but it looks like the end of it." said Leo.
"That's so unfair! How come we don't get to see our funeral! said Paige frustratedly.
"Wait, you want to see your funeral!" Piper asked with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Okay Paige maybe-
"No, I just would have liked to have seen maybe a few people crying or a speech or two about me that's all! Don't think that I want to die or anything!" protested Paige.
"Okay let's look for Chris. This is his memory so it would help if we could find out what were looking at." said Piper. Her sisters and Leo nodded in agreement.
Looking around they spotted Wyatt, Chris and Victor shaking hands with the mourners as they left. Wyatt was making the effort to speak back to them as they said the usual things as they shook hands. Chris however would only nod and then look down as each passed. The sisters and Leo watched this tearfully until all the people had left and only the brothers and Victor stood in the church.
"Come on boys. Let's go home. We have a Wake to host and we can't leave everybody standing outside in the cold until we let them in can we?" Victor said putting a hand on each boys shoulder.
Wyatt and Chris nodded they're heads in agreement and they left for the manor. The sisters and Leo walked after them quickly and watched as Chris stopped just short of the doors and looked back at the picture on the screen.
"Say hi to mom for me." he whispered. Unknown to him, Wyatt was watching him sadly and walked over to stand next to him. Neither of them said anything but Wyatt put and arm around Chris's shoulders as they looked at the photo for a moment, deep in thought.
"Come on." said Wyatt and he steered Chris towards the car. When they got inside their Grandpa drove off towards the manor. The sisters and Leo watched them go sadly.
"So you die and then a couple of months later we do too." Phoebe stated quietly.
"That's so unfair. How could they cope with that? I thought losing my parents was bad but to lose your mom then your aunts and he said your dad died not long after that; it would be unimaginable." said Paige. Her sisters and Leo nodded in agreement.
Suddenly they felt the familiar lurching feeling as they were rushed to another memory. They stopped suddenly and looked around quickly. They were in the manor again and it was dark outside. They spotted Chris, Wyatt and Victor sitting in the living room. They walked in and stood waiting for something to happen. The brothers and their grandfather sat in silence, deep in thought. Suddenly orbs formed in the room and Future Leo appeared, wearing his elder robes.
"Dad!" Chris called jumping up quickly. Wyatt quickly grabbed the back of his t-shirt and pulled him back onto the couch. Victor stood up from his position on the couch and he glared angrily at Future Leo.
"What are you doing here!" he questioned venomously, his bottom lip curling.
"I've came to see my sons." answered Future Leo.
"Well they don't want to see you!" Victor snapped.
"Have you asked them!" Future Leo snapped back and he looked over at Wyatt and Chris.
"I think they made that clear the day Piper died!"
"They were upset! They didn't know what they were saying!" argued Future Leo
"We knew exactly what we were saying dad!" cut in Wyatt "and we meant every word."
Future Leo looked at each of his sons. Wyatt was glaring at him defiantly and Chris's eyes were lowered to the floor. Sadness flashed over Future Leo's face.
"I see. Well I actually came here to say goodbye." he said.
"Goodbye?" questioned Chris looking up. Future Leo nodded.
"The other Elders are going to keep me 'Up There' permanently."
"What! Why?" asked Chris, slightly alarmed.
"Since your mom and aunts haveā¦gone, the other Elders have agreed that there is no reason for me to come down here anymore." Future Leo said quietly.
"No reason! What are we! Next door neighbours!" said Wyatt in disbelief.
"They think that you're both able to look after yourselves. And you've got your grandpa so it's not like you're alone."
"But you can't!" said Chris.
"I'm so sorry boys." said Future Leo sorrowfully and he orbed out.
"No come back!" Chris yelled and he jumped up from the couch but Future Leo was gone.
Chris sat back down dejectedly. Victor sighed through his nose.
"Well good riddance to him." he said.
Wyatt and Chris didn't say anything as they sat on the couch. Both of them were staring blankly into space. Victor stood up.
"Okay well I'm going to go and start making dinner." he said and he walked through to the kitchen.
"I wouldn't just leave like that." said Leo.
"Well you did. Or you're going to, whatever." said Piper.
"I wouldn't just leave our sons like that Piper. That person isn't me."
"It is you Leo! It's just the future you but it's still you!" argued Piper
Leo opened his mouth to argue back but Phoebe cut him off hurriedly.
"Looks guys, please don't have another argument!"
Piper and Leo looked at each other and nodded. Paige and Phoebe breathed out in relief and they all continued to watch the memory.
Chris stood up and walked through to the foyer stopping in front of a photo on the wall. Looking closer, the sisters and Leo saw it was a picture of Piper with Chris and Wyatt when they were little boys. Piper was sitting on the couch with Chris and Wyatt sitting on her knees.
"Awww." cooed Paige.
Wyatt got up and stood beside Chris. They didn't say anything but Wyatt put his arm around Chris's shoulders.
"Why are we losing everyone Wyatt?" Chris asked his brother quietly. Wyatt stayed silent for a moment and the sisters and Leo could see he was struggling on what he should say.
"We're not losing everyone Chris. We still have each other and grandpa." said Wyatt.
"Yeah well it's probably only a matter of time before he dies too!" Chris said.
"Chris!" Wyatt spun Chris around so he was facing him and gripped his shoulders tightly. "Don't you dare say stuff like that! You hear me!" he gave Chris a shake.
"It's true though isn't it! We're losing everyone! Everyone's leaving us behind! Grandpa won't be far behind them at this rate!" Chris yelled. He had tears running down his face.
Wyatt's eyes softened a little and he lowered his voice.
"Chris, Grandpa's not going anywhere at the moment okay?" he said reassuringly.
Chris didn't say anything but he nodded. Wyatt continued.
"And it's okay to be mad at mo-
"I'm not mad at mom!" Chris said angrily.
"Well I am. I'm mad that she left us here! But that's okay Chris! It's okay to be mad at her!" Wyatt said.
"I'm not mad at her! I'm mad at the demons that killed her and aunt Phoebe and aunt Paige!" Chris yelled and he wrenched himself from Wyatt's grip.
He ran past him and yanked open the front door.
"Chris wait!" Wyatt called.
Chris took no notice and ran out into the pouring rain, not bothering to shut the door. Wyatt groaned and went to run after him but his grandpa came out from the kitchen.
"What was all that about? Wait, where's Chris?" he asked worriedly.
"He's run off but I'm going to go get him. I'll be back soon." Wyatt said quickly and he ran after Chris.
"Come on let's go! quick, quick, quick!" Piper said hurriedly and they ran after the two brothers.
As they ran outside they saw Wyatt at the end of the street and they ran after him.
"Um do you really think you should be running Piper?" Paige called over the sound of the rain.
"Well we all want to see- Whoa!" Piper yelped as they were all levitated up in mid air.
They were still being sped down the road, except they didn't have to use their legs and they were going much faster.
"Now this is cool!" said Phoebe excitedly as they sped past Wyatt and caught up with Chris.
They went silent as they watched him. He was soaked right through and he had a pained expression on his face. It was hard to tell if he was crying or not since the rain was running down his face. Suddenly he tripped on a large crap in the sidewalk and he fell to his knees and hands with a yell and sobbed as he landed. The sisters and Leo knew he wasn't crying because he'd hurt himself though.
"Chris!" Wyatt called as he ran, nearly reaching him.
Chris quickly got back up and continued running. He continued sprinting down the street and then made a turn to the right. He ran onto the road.
"Chris look out!"
Then there was the car.
A honk of the horn.
A squeal of brakes.
"CHRIS!"
Thud.
Silence.
Oh look at that! A cliffhanger! Wait and see what happens to Chris in the next chappie! Oh and of course review!
