Thanks to everyone who has been following and reviewing, it really means the world to me that you take time to read it. Please if there are any errors just look over them as I really did edit this chapter in a hurry as I have to work and I don't want to delay the chapters again. I also want to mention that all of volume 1 has been written so far as I started this series way back in 2006. So I mostly change a few things here and there but my other series is written from scratch so it might tend to be better written than Trinity so please don't be too hard on me with that. Okay done with the pleading, enjoy reading and be nice and leave a nice little review for me at the end. Thanks for taking time to read this series ;)
Chapter 10: Bring Me To The Whitelight part 2
(-v-)
The San Francisco sky was clear as the sun shone high in the sky. People were rushing around the city, attending to their errands or having lunch with family or friends. Many were clad in warmer clothing as the wind from the bay picked up, causing the city to be rather chilly.
Chris and Melinda made their way out of the supermarket both dressed in warm jackets. Melinda wore her long denim jacket over an orange pullover and dark wash jeans. Her hair was neatly pulled back into a low ponytail. Chris was clad in jeans and a long sleeved black shirt wearing a beige colored jacket.
"Are you telling me we eat all of this in one week," Chris asked pushing the fully stocked red shopping cart out of the supermarket.
"Are you kidding me? With two brothers, it's a wonder that you haven't eaten the house yet." Melinda laughed
Chris smiled as he playfully punched Melinda on the shoulder.
"Hey, watch it! My shoulder has been through enough today." Melinda said as her cellphone ringed from her bag "You have a new text message". She removed the phone from her purse and flipped it open to read her message as they continued to move towards her car.
Chris smiled before looking back out in front of him to make sure he did not ram the cart into someone's shins. Chris suddenly came to a halt.
Melinda was still walking, checking her cellphone messages when she realized her brother was no longer by her side. She turned back to see Chris standing still.
"What?" Melinda asked.
"It's Amy," Chris replied.
Melinda looked around. "Where?" She asked.
"There!" Chris said pointing her out.
Amy was standing across the street with her trusty guide dog by her side. He was also warmly dressed in black trousers and a crimson coloured coat with a black scarf snugly wrapped around her neck. Her hair was slightly blown up by the slight breeze. Lady gave a bark signaling that it was safe for them to cross the street.
"Amy!" Chris called out.
Amy was almost out of the street when she ceased movement as she heard someone holler her name. "Chris!" She called back, recognizing his voice.
Amy was unaware that she had not fully crossed the street yet.
"She's beautiful," Melinda remarked. "No wonder you fell for her."
Chris looked at his sister. "Let's not get into this now, please." He said.
Melinda shrugged her shoulders. "Fine," She said.
Chris and Melinda quickly moved towards her when they heard a car leaning on its horn. The car was speeding down the street and heading straight towards Amy.
"Amy, get out of the road!" Chris screamed.
But Amy was frozen stiff. Lady gave a panicked bark, trying to get her master out of the road but Amy became disoriented. She did not know where she was or what was happening. Lady finally broke loose from Amy's grip and was on the sidewalk barking at her master to get out of the way.
"Melinda, I'm not going to make it!" Chris yelled at his sister as he ran towards Amy.
Melinda took after her brother, abandoning their shopping cart. As the young witchling ran towards her brother she raised her hands releasing her freezing power. Everyone in the nearby vicinity froze along with the car that was about to ram into Amy. Chris finally reached her and pulled her out of the street as fast as he could. They both fell to the ground as Melinda, with a flick of her hand, unfroze the scene. The car skidded past them as Melinda quickly rushed over to her brother's side. Amy's eyes fluttered for a moment before she fainted.
"Are you okay?" Melinda asked.
"I'm fine, but she's not. We have to get her home." Chris said.
People were exchanging words on what had just happened. A round of applause was heard as Chris lifted Amy into his arms. Melinda moved closer to Lady.
"Hey, girl." Melinda said reaching out and taking the Labrador by the leash.
"I'll meet you at the car." Chris said as she made his way to the parking lot with Amy now safely in his arms.
Melinda nodded as she looked down to the ground and found a ring. It was silver with single small diamonds surrounding it. Even in it's simplicity it was still very beautiful. Believing that it belonged to Amy she placed it into her bag before she and Lady hurried back to their shopping cart. A young man had seen what had happened and was now guarding her shopping cart. Melinda smiled as she approached the young handsome dark haired stranger.
"Thanks for guarding my cart," Melinda said.
"You are very welcome, Miss." The man said smiling at her. "Your boyfriend was very brave there."
"Oh he's not my boyfriend, he's my brother." Melinda corrected. "Thanks again."
Melinda smiled back taking the cart by the handle while still holding onto Lady's leash. She turned the cart as she and Lady hurried to the parking lot. The young man kept his eyes on her until she turned the corner and was out of sight. He then lowered his eyes to the ground and walked away.
(-v-)
A few minutes later Melinda was in her silver Prius SUV driving though the streets of the city to Amy's apartment. Chris had insisted on orbing Amy and Lady to the apartment. Melinda agreed to meet them there with the car. In the back of her mind Melinda worried. She knew Wyatt was right about Chris and his mission to stop Death. They had been taught that Death cannot be stopped but yet in this situation Chris wouldn't believe it. Melinda was afraid that her brother was going to get himself killed but she also knew the more she fought him on the situation, the more he'd dive into it.
Melinda parked her car and made her way into the newly renovated San Francisco Manor Apartment Building.
(-v-)
Chris sat on the couch next to Amy when there was a knock at the door.
"Mel?" Chris called out.
"Yeah, it's me." Melinda answered from outside the door.
"Come in, it's open." Chris said.
Melinda turned the knob and entered the apartment. Lady rushed towards Melinda and greeted her happily. Melinda smiled at the playful dog while scratching her behind the ears.
"How is she?" Melinda asked.
Amy began to stir.
"I think she's coming to," Chris said.
Amy's eyes fluttered open. She began to breathe heavily as she tried to sit up. "Who's here?" She asked.
"Amy, calm down!" Chris said. "It's me, Chris."
Amy calmed herself as she recognized Chris' voice. "Chris?" She said.
"Yes, I'm here" Chris said taking Amy's hand in his.
Amy breathed a sigh of relief when her hand touched Chris'. "What happened?" She asked
"I pulled you out of the way of an oncoming car and after that you passed out." Chris explained.
"I think I remember you calling out to me," Amy said.
Amy swung her head around when she sensed another presence. "Who's here?" She asked.
"Just my sister, Melinda." Chris said.
Amy breathed out relieved. "Oh, so you're the famous Melinda." She said.
Melinda moved forward and sat down on the coffee table. "Talking about me, have you?" She asked smiling.
"Nothing bad, I promise, I just wanted to know more about your brother." Amy said.
"I'm glad it was nothing bad." Melinda said. "Do you want some tea or something?"
"Tea sounds great if you can find your way around my kitchen." Amy said.
"I think I'll be able to do that," Melinda said making her way over to the kitchen and putting on the black kettle on.
"Are you okay?" Chris asked concerned.
"I'm okay, I just need some aspirin." Amy said.
"I can get it for you," Chris said.
"That's okay; I think I need to move around." Amy said slowly standing up and making her way to the kitchen.
Amy felt around for the cabinet handle and opened it. She felt for the right bottle and took it out of the cabinet.
"You sure know your way around," Melinda smiled.
"Thanks, it took some time to get the layout of this place but it's fairly easy now." Amy said.
Amy turned around and leaned against the counter while she opened the aspirin bottle. Chris looked up as he saw something rolling out of the cabinet. It was a glass bottle and it was about to come tumbling down on Amy's head.
"Melinda!" Chris said jumping up.
Melinda immediately looked up seeing what Chris was warning her about. She dropped the sugar bowl and lifted her hands. She froze the bottle just in time and was now hovering in mid-air above Amy's head.
"Whoa!" Melinda said.
"You're telling me!" Chris said rushing over to Amy's side.
"Death wants her bad," Melinda said.
"Melinda!" Chris said shocked.
"I'm just stating the obvious," Melinda defended.
"Okay, I'll pull her out of the way then you unfreeze the bottle. But don't do it until I have her out of the way." Chris said.
"Oki-dokey, no pressure." Melinda said sarcastically lifting her hands.
Chris pulled Amy out of the way and Melinda flicked her hands and released the freezing effect on the bottle. The bottle fell to the floor and shattered upon reaching the wooden floor.
Amy's eyes widened. "What happened?!" She asked.
"A bottle almost clobbered you on the head," Melinda said bending down to clean up the sugar.
"Did I break a mirror or something? what's going on?" Amy asked.
"Well uh," Chris said bringing his hand up to his head.
"Maybe it's just coincidental," Melinda said.
"I don't think so, you guys know something." Amy said.
Chris looked worriedly over at Melinda.
"Look, just because I'm blind doesn't mean I'm stupid." Amy said her voice shaky.
"We don't think that," Chris assured her.
"Then tell me what is going on, please." Amy begged.
Melinda shook her head. Chris looked helplessly at sister. "I have to tell her," He mouthed.
"No," Melinda mouthed back.
"Okay, Amy. I'll tell you everything." Chris said.
Melinda ran her fingers through her hair, frustrated at her younger brother.
"Come here," Chris said taking Amy's hand and leading her over to the couch.
Amy sat down and Chris sat down next to her. Amy shrugged her shoulders, waiting for Chris to say something.
"So?" She asked.
"It's your 21st birthday next week, right?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, how did you?" Amy asked surprised. "I never told you that."
"That's when you receive your powers right," Chris said.
"You-you guys are Warlocks, aren't you?" Amy asked.
"No, no, no. I'm a whitelighter. I was assigned to protect you." Chris explained.
"Is she really your sister?" Amy asked.
"Yes, she is." Chris said.
Amy shook her head, trying to absorb the information that was just given to her.
"Amy, we have to protect you because Death is after you." Chris said.
Amy remained silent, her face showed no emotion.
"Amy?" Chris said.
"If Death is coming for me, let him." Amy said calmly.
"No, Amy, the Elders want me to protect you for a reason." Chris said.
Amy looked up, hurt reflecting in her eyes. "So everything between us was a lie, you were just protecting me." She said.
"No, you've got it all wrong." Chris said.
"Please, get out of my house." Amy said.
"Amy, please listen to him." Melinda insisted.
"I said get out!" Amy shouted.
Melinda placed the broken pieces of the sugar bowl on the table and made her way to the door. Chris followed her but not before looking back at Amy. A single tear fell down her cheek as she heard the door close. Amy lifted her hands to her face; she closed her eyes and began to sob.
(-v-)
Chris listened from outside the door. His heart sank as he heard Amy's muffed sobs. "I can't believe I hurt her like that, I should have told her everything from the start." He said.
"You can't do anything about it now, she's too upset." Melinda said holding onto Chris's arm.
Chris closed his eyes and began to chant
"Around this home,
may no evil roam.
Protect the one who is inside,
From Death's grip may she hide."
Chris finished his spell and opened his eyes to find his sister looking at him, disappointment filling her eyes.
"I can't believe you just did that," Melinda said walking off down the hall with a huff.
"I hope it will work." Chris said following Melinda.
(-v-)
On the ride home, Melinda didn't utter a single word to Chris. They walked through the stained glass front doors of the manor. Melinda, still annoyed, continued to the kitchen just as Chris grabbed her arm and turned her back to him.
"What did you want me to do?" Chris asked.
"Not cast a spell for personal gain, for one." Melinda replied.
"It wasn't personal gain, I was protecting an innocent!" Chris insisted.
"You cast the spell so that she won't die because of you!" Melinda said storming up the stairs just as Wyatt came down.
"What's going on?" Wyatt asked.
"Ask your brother," Melinda yelled back as she kept walking up the stairs.
"What happened?" Wyatt asked coming down the final few steps.
"I cast a spell to protect Amy." Chris said.
"What?" Wyatt asked.
Chris walked over to the cream coloured couch in the living room and sat down. He lowered his head and clasped his hands together as Wyatt sat down in the old armchair across from him.
"She almost died because of me today." Chris said.
"What are you talking about?" Wyatt asked
"I called out to her while she was walking across the street; she stopped and almost got run over by a car." Chris explained.
"Is she okay?" Wyatt asked concerned.
"I guess; she kicked us out after I told her everything." Chris said.
"You told her Death is after her?" Wyatt asked.
"Yeah, I told her who we were and she thought that I was just using her. And strangely enough she doesn't seem to care that Death is coming after her." Chris said.
Wyatt lowered his eyes feeling guilty.
"Wyatt, what's up?" Chris asked noticing a change in his brother.
"I have a confession," Wyatt said.
"What?" Chris asked.
"I cast a protection spell too," Wyatt said.
"On who?" Chris asked.
"On you," Wyatt replied.
Chris's gaped in shock. "You did what?" He asked.
"I just wanted to protect you, like you want to protect Amy." Wyatt said.
"Wyatt…" Chris began.
"Look, I promised Mom that I won't let anything happen to you and Melinda and I'm not going to disappoint her." Wyatt explained.
Chris gave a smile. "Thanks, big brother." He said.
Relief washed over Wyatt. He was relieved that Chris was not upset with him about the spell. Wyatt knew that his younger brother understood his reasons for casting the spell.
"I'm sorry I was so hard on you, clearly you care a lot about Amy." Wyatt said.
"It's okay. Maybe I am a little in over my head." Chris said.
"I think you might be too," Wyatt said.
There was a moment of silence between the brothers.
"Will you help me with the groceries," Chris asked.
"Sure," Wyatt said following Chris outside to the car.
(-v-)
Melinda slammed her bedroom door shut as she entered her room newly decorated room.
The room still had the same wallpaper as it always had but Melinda had decided to splurge on some new bedding for her new room. She had bought crimson coloured sheets with fine black flower detailing on them. The room was furnished with a nice black couch, a TV above the fireplace, where she and Piper had roasted marshmallows on many occasions, and a small Ipod stereo on her oak dresser. The room held many memories, not just for Melinda but for her mother as well. When Melinda was younger, she and Piper would crawl into bed on a Saturday night with a big bowl of buttered popcorn and watch the featured movie that was showing. Pictures were arranged on her nightstand of Piper and Leo and many of Piper's old furniture had remained in the room as Melinda wanted to keep her mother's presence there.
It was moments like these where Melinda wished Piper was still at the Manor. Chris was playing a dangerous game and usually only Piper could get through to him but Melinda knew what her mother would say. Piper had insisted that the siblings not call on her help everytime something happened.
Melinda groaned as she tossed her brown leather bag on the bed. She was even more annoyed when the clip went loose and everything scattered across her bed. She walked over to and began packing everything back in the bag. She came across the ring she had picked up earlier. Being careful not to put the ring on, Melinda studied it once more. She gasped as she closed her eyes and was drawn into a vision.
She saw Amy walking around a luscious area all on her own with mist surrounding her. The young girl turned around when she heard a branch snap beneath the feet of a stranger that was approaching her. The man moved closer, his hand tightly grasped around the handle of a sharp knife. His hand grasped her shoulder as he rammed the sharp blade into her back. Amy's face contorted in pain as she gave a agonizing scream. He removed the knife, letting Amy's lifeless body fall to the ground. Amy's spirit began to rise from her body. She looked up to the heavens as a golden light swooped down, surrounded her and carried her away.
As the vision ended Melinda opened her eyes, fear filling her every fiber.
She pulled open her door and ran out of her room calling for her brothers.
"Chris! Wyatt!" She called.
Wyatt and Chris met up with their sister in the upstairs hall as she was about to go downstairs.
"What is it?" Chris asked.
"I-uh had a premonition," Melinda said.
"About what?" Wyatt asked.
"About Amy being murdered," Melinda said.
"Oh my god, what happened? Do you know where?" Chris asked.
"It was misty, I saw some trees. It could have been Golden Gate Park." Melinda said.
"What happened?" Wyatt asked.
"A guy stabbed her with a knife and then I saw her spirit being carried to the afterlife." Melinda explained.
"I have to call her," Chris said removing his cellphone from his pocket and dialing Amy's number.
(-v-)
Amy was lying on her couch listening to some music. She didn't even move to answer the telephone as it began to ring. She left it to be answered by the answering machine.
"Amy, it's Chris. You have to listen to me." Chris said over the machine.
Amy immediately sat up and felt for the off button on the answering machine next to her.
(-v-)
"Please, Amy;, you need to call me as soon as you get this message. Your life is in danger." Chris said closing his flip phone.
"If she doesn't leave her apartment, she'll be fine." Melinda said.
"If she doesn't return my call tonight, I'm going over there tomorrow morning." Chris said.
Melinda looked worriedly from Wyatt to Chris..
"Do you need us to come along?" Wyatt asked.
"No, I think I should do this on my own." Chris said walking towards his bedroom
"Well, you sure have changed your tune." Melinda said.
"We're not any good divided, Mel. This is his choice. This is what he does, he protects the innocent." Wyatt said.
"But this could get him killed." Melinda said folding her arms over her chest.
"We risk our lives for innocents everyday, people we don't know. Chris cares for Amy. So I understand his determination to save her." Wyatt said.
"But trying to save her from Death?" Melinda asked.
"I'm still working on that." Wyatt admitted as he and Melinda headed down stairs.
(-v-)
Early the next morning Chris was sitting at the table, cradling a cup of coffee in his hands. He was dressed in dark jeans and a faded black loose fitted dress shirt. Melinda entered the kitchen to find her brother downing the last bit of his coffee. Melinda was dressed in brown pants and a pink camisole with a brown crop top over it.
"Have you heard from her yet?" Melinda asked as she made her way to the coffee machine.
"Nothing and I'm starting to get worried." Chris said placing his cup down.
"Refill?" Melinda offered.
Chris nodded his head as Melinda grabbed his cup and filled it up along with hers. Once Melinda was done she placed the black coffee pot back on its hotplate, she carried the two cups of coffee over to the table.
"Thanks," Chris said taking a sip of the warm liquid.
Soon after Wyatt also arrived in the kitchen and made a bee line for the coffee machine.
"So, anything?" Wyatt asked.
Chris waved his phone in the air. "Nothing," He replied.
"Listen if you need us to watch your back…" Wyatt began.
"Thanks, but I need to do this on my own. Atticus said so." Chris said.
"Atticus said so?" Wyatt asked carrying his coffee cup over to the table and joining his siblings.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Chris asked.
"I think he knows more than he's letting on," Wyatt said.
Chris looked at his brother before lowering his eyes, thinking. It was true, Atticus was very cryptic when he had informed Chris about Amy and now he needed to know why. Why did they assign her to him if they knew she was going to die? There must be a reason and Chris wanted to know what it was.
Chris lifted his head towards the ceiling. "Atticus, I need to talk to you!" He hollered.
Dark blue and white lights swirled into the kitchen from the ceiling as Atticus appeared in the room.
"Chris, what's the matter?" Atticus asked concern filling his tone.
"I need to know something and please don't lie to me." Chris said.
"Very well, you may ask your question." Atticus said.
"Did you and the other Elders know that Death was going to come after Amy?" Chris asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Atticus denied the claim.
"Atticus, please, no more lies." Chris said.
"Tell him the truth, Atticus." Wyatt said.
Atticus looked at the Eldest Halliwell, knowing that Wyatt was right. It was time to tell Chris the truth.
"We wanted you to meet Amy so that you can rediscover what life was all about." Atticus said.
"Excuse me?" Chris asked confused.
"Ever since your relationship ended with Bianca, you have dedicated your life to the magical world. You have not had a normal life. It's been one big rush or fight after the other. Looking after charges; saving innocents." Atticus explained.
"You think I've lost my way?" Chris asked.
"When's the last time you appreciated life?" Atticus asked.
Chris paused for a moment. He realized Atticus was right. After he broke off his engagement to Bianca, he focused all his attention on his magical duties to forget his pain. Since then it had become a habit. Chris had forgotten that he was human as well; he hadn't experienced the beauty of life until he met Amy. The one person that didn't have the opportunity to see the beauty in the world was teaching him to see it for her.
"You sent me to protect Amy so that I could rediscover what life is really about?" Chris asked.
"Yes," Atticus replied.
"Did you know that I was going to develop feelings for her?" Chris asked.
"No, it's just the type of person Amy is. You fell for her, that wasn't planned." Atticus said.
"Is Death going to succeed?" Melinda asked.
"I don't know that, young Melinda." Atticus said.
The Siblings looked at Atticus hoping that he might say something to help Chris, anything to reassure him that he can fight Death, but nothing else came of it.
"I'm sorry; I can't help you with anything else." Atticus said as he was collected by his orbing power and returned to the Heavens.
"I have to get over there," Chris said standing up from his chair and summoning his orbing power. The orbs began to swirl around Chris until they finally teleported him away.
"I hope he can save her," Wyatt said.
"And if he can't, who's going to save his heart." Melinda said sadly.
(-v-)
Chris appeared in front of Amy's apartment door. He knocked a few times until another dark haired girl answered the door. Chris checked the door number afraid that he might have the wrong apartment. But the number was correct.
"Hi, I'm looking for Amy." Chris said.
"She's not here right now," The girl said. "Who are you?"
"I'm Chris, I'm a friend of Amy's" Chris said.
"I'm Emily, Amy's sister." Emily said.
"Nice to meet you, do you know where she is?" Chris asked.
"She goes to the park every Sunday morning for a walk when I come to clean the apartment." Emily informed him.
"Which park?" Chris asked.
"Golden Gate," Emily replied.
Fear began to rise within Chris as he heard the words "Golden Gate". He knew that's where Melinda saw Amy get killed.
"Thanks," Chris said hurrying off. Once he was safely around the corner her orbed away.
(-v-)
Chris hurried down the path through Golden Gate Park searching for Amy. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found her walking in the secluded area of the Park with Lady by her side. Amy released Lady from the leash and allowed her to run around. Chris's eyes widened as a Warlock blinked in behind Amy with, what Chris now recognized as an athame. Chris sprinted across the grass towards Amy.
"Amy, no!" Chris yelled as he ran towards her.
Amy turned around when she heard someone call to her. Chris flung his arm out and sent the Warlock flying backwards into a few tall bushes. Lady began to bark when she sensed something was not right. The Warlock collected himself from the ground and launched an energy ball towards Chris. Chris lifted his hand and used the power of his mind to send the energy ball back onto his attacker. The Warlock blinked out and appeared next to Amy once more.
"Chris!" Amy yelled. Confusion was rising within her as she did not know what was happening around her.
"Amy, get down!" Chris ordered.
Amy became disorientated; she didn't know what to do. The Warlock raised his hand and formed a ball of energy within his palm and hurled it towards Amy.
"No!" Chris screamed.
The energy ball collided with Amy's chest, she screamed as she was launched into the air and slammed onto a ground a few feet from the Warlock. The Warlock gave Chris a smirk before blinking away. Chris hurried over to Amy and pulled her into his arms.
"Amy, come on!" Chris begged.
Chris looked up as he felt someone watching them. It was Death.
"No, you can't take her," Chris yelled.
"It's too late," Death said as he disappeared within a black shadow.
Amy's spirit rose from her body and stood before him. She slowly became corporeal. She was dressed his a long white dress and her curly hair cascaded over her shoulders. Chris gently laid Amy's lifeless body down on the ground as he stood up.
"Chris," Amy said, finally laying her eyes on him.
"Amy, I'm so sorry." Chris said fighting back tears.
"It's okay, Chris. Somehow I get it now." Amy said moving closer to Chris and looking up at him.
"You can see?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, it's wonderful. Even though I had to die to see again." Amy said.
Chris smiled. "I never meant to keep anything from you." He said.
"How do you really feel about me, Chris?" Amy asked.
"I think I'm in love with you," Chris said.
"I think I'm in love with you too," Amy said wrapping her arms around Chris and placing a kiss on his lips.
Amy took a step back and smiled at him.
"I know that you would have sacrificed everything to save me, Chris. But if there's one thing I wanted to see before I died, it would have been you." Amy said, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Chris lowered his head, saddened.
"This is the greatest gift ever, you know. To see the trees, the lake, the sky even but seeing you smiling at me right now. Nothing tops that." Amy said.
"You seem happy," Chris said.
"I am. The only thing I'm not happy about is that I'll never be able to be with you." Amy said.
"Never say never." Chris said wiping away Amy's tears and embracing her.
"You were the only person who ever accepted me for who I was. I have never met anyone like you before. You really made these last days of my life worth it." Amy said.
"You don't know how much you have helped me." Chris said.
Amy closed her eyes as she rested her head against Chris's chest. She opened them when she saw a light.
"Chris, can you see that?" Amy asked.
"See what?" Chris asked.
"That light," Amy said pointing to the light.
"I think you're the only one who's supposed to see that light," Chris said.
"It's so beautiful, almost breathtaking." Amy said.
"I guess it's time for you to go," Chris said.
Chris couldn't bear the thought of letting her go but he knew that there was nothing he could do to stop her from going. It was where she belonged and he couldn't change that.
Amy looked up at Chris and placed a kiss on his lips.
"Will you bring me to the white light, Chris?" Amy asked.
Chris smiled at her and held out his hand. Amy smiled back and took his hand. Together, Amy and Chris walked towards the white light.
"Where is it?" Chris asked.
Amy stopped. "Right here," She said.
Chris kept on holding her hand, afraid to let it go.
"Don't forget about me, Chris." Amy said squeezing Chris's hand.
"Never," Chris said.
Amy gave him one last kiss before she turned towards the light. She slowly moved towards it, the light becoming brighter with every step she took. Before stepping into it, she turned back to Chris one last time. Her blue eyes were filled with tears.
"Take Lady back to my sister, would you?" She asked.
"Of course," Chris said.
Amy nodded a goodbye before she took her final step into the light. The light gave a final burst of brightness before disappearing. Within seconds she was gone and Chris was left standing alone.
Chris felt so alone at that moment. He looked over at Amy's lifeless body but quickly looked away again. He could not bear to see her lying there, knowing that he couldn't save her.
He pulled out his cellphone and dialed a number.
"Hi, Uncle Henry, it's Chris." Chris said into the phone. "I need your help."
(-v-)
Later that night Wyatt and Melinda were sitting in the VIP section of P3 listening to the winner of the Battle of the Bands, Crimson Scarlet performing. Melinda and Wyatt and the rest of the crowed clapped and cheered as the band finished their set.
"Ladies and gentlemen that was Crimson Scarlet, the winner of our Battle of the Bands. Enjoy the rest of the evening here at P3." The DJ announced.
Melinda looked up to the entrance stairs and saw Chris coming down to join them. After Chris got home that morning he told his siblings everything that had happened. He then retreated to his room and this was the first time they had seen him all day.
"Hey, honey, how're you feeling?" Melinda asked as Chris approached the couch.
Chris sat down next to Melinda. "Okay, I guess." He said sadly.
"I'm really sorry about Amy, bro. We know how much you cared about her." Wyatt said.
"I loved her," Chris mumbled.
"What?" Melinda said.
Chris looked at his sister. "I loved her, for the person she was, the way she opened my eyes to the world again. I'll always love her for that. But I'll always remember that I couldn't save her." He said standing up and walking away.
"Chris, wait…" Melinda said.
Chris kept on walking, not daring to look back.
"Wyatt, shouldn't we?" Melinda asked.
"No, not this time. He needs time to work it out on his own." Wyatt said.
(-v-)
Chris entered Piper's old office and closed the door behind him. He leaned against it with his back. He kept seeing Amy's face and remembering their last moment together. Chris never thought he could fall for someone so fast…so instantly. He felt as if he'd known Amy for years. So many thoughts were rushing through his mind, everything was so hard to comprehend. He thought of the future they could have had together but now they'd never know what life could have been like if they were together. Chris brought his hands up to his face as his emotions finally took over. He slid down the door and sat on the floor as a few single tears fell from his cheeks. If he could to anything for Amy, he'd enjoy life and never take it for granted again. Since you never know when your life is going to end.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and that you will be back for the rest of the volume. I hope to see you all again for chapter 11. Things will be getting tougher for the siblings in future chapters. Look forward to the Siblings finally embracing their joint powers in a future coming chapter.
A review will be much appreciated and thanks to all of those who have reviewed!
