Chapter 10

On the day of the funeral, everyone cried except for Wyatt. Even the little cousins who had barely even known their aunt Piper where balling their eyes out, but not Wyatt. He just sat on a plastic chair next to Chris without any sign of emotion on his face. His Brown eyes were surrounded by dark shadows. Not a good look.

The casket that held Piper was a lot like what Prue had when she died. It was a white sort of marble material and it had a range of different flowers surrounding it. The joining's were lined with gold instead of silver. The only difference this time; was that the top of the coffin was open. So everybody could say their last goodbyes.

Chris watched everyone walk up to the white box and place a rose in with his mother. He heard some of the words that they were saying and sadly smiled. She had so many friends. After all of Pipers friends had finished saying goodbye the family was next. First up were Phoebe and Uncle Coop. Uncle Coop had control of their daughters Prue, Patty and Penny while Phoebe held a red rose close to her heart. She whispered goodbye then placed the rose gently near the others. And a tear rolled out of her eye. The two daughters who were not being held by their father ran over and hugged their mommy's legs. Phoebe slowly stopped crying and hugged them back, her frown turning into a slight smile.

Then Chris's Aunt Paige and Uncle Henry stood up readily. Paige grasped her youngest, Henry Jr and gripped Kat's hand while Henry Sr held onto the other twin. They all walked up together in sync while Tamora –the twin holding her daddy's hand- embraced the flower for their group. Paige walked up with her daughter and watched her while Tamora kissed her Aunt piper on the cheek and then positioned the rose down. She ran back to Paige and Chris's Aunty hugged her daughter. They walked back to their seats next to Phoebe and her family.

Then last but not least it was Wyatt, Chris and charmed ones dad's turn. Chris could feel everyone's eyes on them, and he wanted to turn around and tell them all to get lost. But that would not be the best thing to do. He watched his Grandpa stand up. He was probably the most wrecked one here. The old man's hair –what little that he had left- was not properly done and his tears cloaked his exhausted face. Normally it would be the adults burying their elderly parent's. But now it was Victor who had to bury two of his daughters.

"Come on Chris." Wyatt ushered gently but also with a slight sense of annoyance. Chris hadn't realised that he had been sitting there for a while. And then he slowly got up and followed the rest of the group. Wyatt and Chris stood back waiting for their Grandpa to finish saying his farewell. They saw him put the fragranced plant down and they stepped up for their turn. Wyatt was the first to speak.

"Mom, I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop the demons. I'm sorry I couldn't save you." He took a breath and swallowed. "I promise that I'll stop them, every last one."

Chris gazed up at his brother and saw the anger and hurt in his eyes. He didn't like this side of his brother, but did agree with him. They were going to kill those bastards.

Wyatt then placed the rose down and kissed his mother on the forehead.

"I love you mom."

Chris held his mother's cold hand and placed the flower down as well. He didn't know what to say. What was there to say? That he loved her? Of course he did! There was never a time when he didn't. But he just didn't know what else to say. So just he did the same action as Wyatt and kissed his mother's cold forehead.

"I will always love you." And turned around to find the elder Leo standing in the door way. Chris never wanted to see this man again. He wanted to yell, scream do anything to get this man out of his sight but there were a few factors that were stopping him. The most important one was that he didn't want to ruin this day; it had been so perfect already.

Wyatt saw Chris tense up when they saw their father waltz through the door. Although he knew Chris would never do anything to upset his family he could feel the anger rise off of him. And it was strong. Doing the only smart thing he could think of, Wyatt put his arm around his infuriated brother and directed him back to his seat. Their movement followed by mumbles and angry looks directed at the Elder. Especially the ones coming from the Halliwell's.

After the ceremony had ended, Wyatt and Chris stood up to leave for home. They unfortunately had school tomorrow and all they wanted to do was sleep. But now that they have their Grandpa there, it would be a lot easier. The boys loved their Grandpa. And Chris called him awesome, because well he was.

Once they reached Victor's car Chris threw his tux's jacket in the backseat. He was just about to jump in when someone behind him called out for his name. He already knew who it was and there was no way he was going to respond. But that was turned around when the Elder grabbed him on the shoulder.

"Chris, I'm sorry please. Jus-"

He threw his hand off of his shoulder and shot Leo a glare.

"No, I don't want to hear it I don't give a damn." He responded and hoped into the car letting his Grandfather deal with Leo. Wyatt turned around in the front seat and faced Chris.

"Don't worry once we get home I'll put up some spells, you know to stop him from getting into the manor." He assured trying to comfort his little brother who was trying to hold back his tears.

"Thanks Wy."

And then he watched his Grandpa hop back into the driver's seat. He could tell that Leo pissed him off, hell he pissed off everybody these days.

"Are you okay grandpa?" The brunette asked.

"Yeah buddy, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." And without looking back twice at Leo they drove off for the manor.
