Ok so here is the next chapter, well I need to do a few little disclamer here lol. I do not own Colbie Calliat or any of her songs, I do not own charmed in any way (sadly) I only own what you are not familiar with
Releasing the pain to you
Five days had passed since the Mel incident and demon activity around the Halliwells had been rather quiet, so life continued all the same as if nothing had ever happened. Although Piper did make Mel stay in bed for the past five days but Mel wasn't complaining. She got visitors and her brothers were her slaves.
Chris, Letti, Junior, Jenny and Bell would be graduating from high school in about a week and then the next big event was Chris' birthday. Everyone was pretty excited for the next part of the month.
It was a warm summers night in the city of San Francisco, the sun was out, the sky was a blue colour with hints of pink and red in it, as the sun was beginning to set.
Wyatt was working the bar at P3 by himself tonight as he had offered to do it, Kayla and Jason said they'd help as Chris and Henry Jr had restaurant duty with Bell and Jenny, and the others had their night off. Wyatt told them it was fine he'd just do it himself but they could come and see him. Basically he wanted them there but not to work. It was rather busy in P3 again as Colbie Caillat was the headliner that night. Ok so that was the real reason he wanted Kayla and Jason to come, Kayla loved Colbie and growing up she listened to her music all the time. So he was setting her up to hopefully get a kiss or something.
Wyatt looked down at his watch and sighed, Kayla and Jason were late but he couldn't complain as they didn't know what was going on. So Wyatt jumped up over the bar and made his way on stage. When he walked to the mic, he was greeted with a sea of cheering, laughing he told them all to be quiet so he could introduce the act.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight my Mom managed to book someone who's music is real sweet, but they are oh so sweeter." Wyatt and the audience laughed. "I suppose I shouldn't say stuff like that, in case the man in her life decides to beat the living day lights outta me, anyway without any further cheesy lines, it's COLBIE CAILLAT!" The crowd cheered and clapped.
Wyatt jumped down off the front of the stage and made his way back over to the bar he climbed back over it and got out to drinks and placed them on the counter at two stools as the sound of "Bubbly" filled the air. Wyatt smiled and looked up at the stage everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
"Oh my god!" Kayla screeched. "I wasn't going crazy!"
Wyatt turned round to see his friends standing behind him. "Oh hey guys. You're like, five minuets late." he pointed and they made their way round to the stools he had saved.
"Sorry man." Jason said. "Well if you had told me about this surprise I could have ushered her out the door."
"Hey do you know how long it takes to look this good?" Kayla asked in a joking tone.
"No darling, but we do imagine." Jason answered before taking a sip of his drink.
"Well Wy you've really out done yourself this time." Kayla said with a smile. "How could you keep this from me?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise, plus I only found out this morning." Wyatt answered.
Kayla leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I love you, you know that right?"Jason smirked and then took another sip to hide his grin as Wyatt's face went red.
"Yea," Wyatt nodded.
Kayla smiled and took a sip from her drink and then sat signing to the next song.
"Excuse me," a voice said. "Can I get a vodka and blackcurrant please?"
"Sure." Wyatt said and he turned around and felt his jaw drop slightly.
Jason's jaw dropped also and Kayla sat with her face screwed up thinking "what a slut."
xxxxx
"My liege," Leon said taking a bow. "She has arrived in the club successfully."
"Good." The source answered. "Let the trouble and games begin."
xxxxx
The girl sat back down at the other end of the bar with her friend. She watched Wyatt through her deep brown eyes. She'd flash a smile every time he or Jason would glance her way.
"May I say you do look fab tonight girl." Ebony said with a smile.
"Thanks, I do don't I?" She ruffled her long brown hair to give it that "messy yet sexy" look. She was dressed in a tight denim skirt with knee-high black boots and a tight black corset style top. Ebony was dressed in short-shorts, silver high heels and she had a tight red top on, her black hair flowing down her back.
The brunette glanced at Kayla talking to Wyatt, they both had smiles on their faces. "Uh-oh." she said. "I think he loves her."
Ebony laughed. "You are rather cruel you know that?"
She nodded. "Well duh, this should be fun."
"Want me to do it now?" Ebony asked. Her friend nodded.
Ebony reached into her purse and pulled out a tiny red coloured pouch, she reached inside and then pulled out some red powder with a smile she held it in her hand as she went to the bar.
She walked right up to Wyatt.
"Excuse me, but my friend would like another drink." She said with a smile.
"Uh, ok." Wyatt said smiling back.
Ebony walked back down to where she was sitting, once they were away from Kayla and Jason she blew the dust into Wyatt's face. He blinked and then coughed before shaking his head.
"Are you alright?" Ebony asked.
"Yea, fine." Wyatt said and he walked over to the other girl.
"Hey there." She said sweetly.
"So what can I get you?" Wyatt asked totally memorised by her.
"Ugh." Kayla groaned. "I think I'm gonna barf."
"Jealous?" Jason teased.
"No!" Kayla answered confirming her friend's thoughts. "It's one giant yucky slut fest. I'm going to the bathroom."
"Ok." Jason said as Kayla got up and left. Jason sat watching Wyatt, then he saw it and he spat out the drink that was in his mouth. They'd known each other for one minuet and they were already playing tonsil hockey with each other. "Wyatt!" Jason shouted getting up and climbing up over the counter and landing behind the bar. He stormed over and pulled on Wyatt's shirt pulling them apart.
"Excuse me." Jason said and he pushed Wyatt away from them, down the other end of the bar. "What the hell was that?!" Jason yelled. "Ok I know what it was but what about Kayla for god's sake!"
"I'm sorry?" Wyatt asked confused."Yea, you should be." Jason said not realising it was a question. "Man I never thought I'd say this to you of all people, I thought you cared about Kayla."
Wyatt just shrugged and walked back over to where the two girls were sitting. Jason's jaw dropped open in shock when he started kissing her again.
"Hey did you not listen to a word I just said?!" Jason shouted.
"Oh….my god." Jason spun round and saw Kayla standing over the other side of the bar.
"Kayla…" He really didn't know what to say. Looking back at Wyatt and then back at the broken hearted face of his best friend he jumped up over the bar and then put an arm around Kayla picking up her purse. "Lets go." Kayla looked back over her shoulder and she frowned deeply.

Chris was lying on the couch in Wyatt's apartment after Bell dragged him there against his will so she could talk to Kayla. Yea Chris loved seeing his brother and friends but he really wanted to do was sleep. Just when he was about to ask if they could leave cause no one was in the front door opened. Jason was first in and then Kayla slammed the door shut.
"I hope she gives him an STD!" Kayla yelled loudly.
Jason sighed and put her purse down on the table at the door. "You don't mean that."
"Hey guys," Chris said as they walked into the living room. "What's going on?"
"There you are!" Bell said walking into the room. "Kay, I've been looking….what's wrong?"
"UGH!" Kayla yelled as she burst into tears and stormed out of the room.
"What the hell was that?" Chris asked sitting up.
"One very pissed off girl." Jason answered sitting down in an arm chair and holding his head in his hands.
Bell looked at the two guys and then left to see if Kayla was alright. Once she had left the room Jason lifted his head up and sighed.
"Wait," Chris said. "what did he do?" Chris asked with a sigh.
"Chris it's been a long night and to be honest I just want to crawl into bed." Jason said. "Can I just tell you tomorrow?"
Chris nodded. "Sure thing man."
Jason smiled. "Thanks, I'm gonna check Kay and then hit the hay."
Chris stood up and gave Jason a pat on the back. "Whatever it is, I'll make sure he's sorry."
"I normally would say no, but yea go a head, he deserves to have his ass kicked." Jason said as he left.
Chris sighed and wondered what Wyatt could have possibly done wrong and to Kayla of all people, that's what confused Chris the most.
Bell walked back into the living room. "Chris I'm gonna stay with Kay tonight."
"Fine with me." Chris said with a small smile. "If you find out what he did text me please."
Bell nodded. "Of course." she walked forward and hugged him tightly. "Night."
"Night Bell. I'll see ya tomorrow."
"Yup." Bell let go and took a step back and watched as Chris orbed out before heading back to see Kayla and Jason.
xxxxx
Chris orbed into P3 to find it totally deserted, he looked down at his watch the club was closed fifteen minuets early. That never happened. Walking around he noticed a purse was still sitting at the counter.
"Wyatt?" Chris called. "Wy are you….." Chris stopped and his jaw fell open at the sight. His brother making out with some…..girl on one of the sofas and it was getting pretty heated.
Chris' mouth snapped shut and he started to back up, heading to the back room.
xxxxx
"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Chris asked between kisses. "I don't wanna rush into this."
He stopped kissing the girl and she looked up at him. "Why do you care so much?" She asked.
"Cause I don't wanna hurt you." Chris answered. "You mean a lot to me."
The girl smiled and kissed him on the lips again. "That answer your question?"Chris grinned and nodded before kissing her again.
xxxxx
Chris snapped out of his vision and shut the back door over, he was totally shaken up. That was the weirdest thing ever, it was if that vision was like a flash back a memory of his. But how could that be? That girl looked like the one Wyatt was making out with right now and Chris had never met her before. Shaking his head trying to gather a string of thoughts that actually made sense he sat down on the old sofa and sighed. One thing was certain Wyatt was getting his ass kicked all the way back to when the dinosaurs roamed the earth! Chris lifted his head when he saw the door handle start to turn, totally grossed out as he knew what was coming next he orbed out before he could be scared any more.
Wyatt and the girl were to "busy" that they never noticed the end trail of orbs. Wyatt pushed the girl gently down on the sofa. "What's your name?" he asked her between kisses.
"Bianca." She answered.
xxxxx
Jenny tossed in her bed, the sweat running down her cheeks. She grabbed onto the sheets tightly and started calling out in her sleep again. She turned and turned afraid at what she was seeing.
xxxxx
The attic was dark and gloomy looking, there was an army of demons standing in it. They parted. At one end of the attic stood Chris and a girl, the other end a tall blonde. His back was turned to Jenny so she couldn't see who he was.
"Save me?" He laughed. " From what?""
What ever evil it was that turned you." Chris answered.
The blonde laughed. "That's always been your problem Chris, stuck in the old good verses evil morass, I'm so passed that, its all about power.""And whoever has the most power wins, is that it?" Chris challenged.
"That's it." He answered and Chris shook his head. "That's why I keep this museum intact to remind everyone to which power I was born and which I posses."
"Too bad the rest of the city isn't fairing as well as the rest of your little shrine here." Chris said walking forward. The girl bit her lip and folded her arms.
"You know, if anyone else tried what you tried," The blonde said walking closer to Chris. "I'd kill them on the spot. But you, I've forgiving Bianca, I can forgive you too. If you promise never to cross me again."
"I think you know me better than that." Chris said with a slight smirk.
"I thought you said you turned him and talked some sense into him!" The bellowed to Bianca.
"Leave her outta this!" Chris said sternly as Bianca walked to stand at his side.
The blonde lifted his hand and started to make a fist. Chris clutched as his throat as he felt the air being sucked out of his lungs.
Suddenly Jenny appeared over by the window, she looked down at her hands and then looked over to the man fighting her cousin.
"NO!" She screamed but no one seemed to hear her.
Chris started dropping to his knees clawing at his throat.
"CHRIS!!" Jenny screamed trying to lift her feet but she was glued to the floor stairing at the blonde haired man's back.
xxxxx
Jenny sat bolt up right in the dark and screamed. "CHRIS!" at the top of her voice not awake yet. Blue and white orbs appeared and disappeared leaving a panicked looking Chris.
"Jenny?!" He asked worriedly.
"NO!" Jenny screamed again.
"Jenny!" Chris shouted running to the bed.
Jenny suddenly gasped and her whole body jerked forward. She looked around panting and saw Chris sit down on the edge of her bed. She burst into tears and Chris pulled her to him and held her in his arms while she cried. Her bedroom door flung open and Chris turned to see his Aunt and Uncle standing there in their pyjamas looking as confused as he did.
"She was…." Chris looked down at his sobbing cousin. "I have no idea what to do." he confessed.
Phoebe smiled slightly and she and Coop walked into the room and shut the door over so not to wake Letti and Skye. Phoebe walked over and squatted down at the bedside. "Baby come here." she said stroking her hair.
Jenny shook her head. "I can't leave Chris, he'll hurt him."
"Who'll hurt Chris?" Coop asked.
"He keeps on hurting him." Jenny sobbed.
Chris looked down at her. "Jen what's wrong?" Chris asked getting more worried by the second.
"No,No,No." Jenny sobbed into Chris' chest.
Phoebe looked at Chris and then at Jenny. "Uh…." She pulled Chris' arms open and pulled Jenny's hands away from his neck.
"Get away from him!" Jenny shouted.
Chris stood up as Phoebe pushed her down onto the bed. The three of them looked down on her and saw here eyes were closed. Phoebe started to shake her. "Jenny baby wake up."
"Come on Bumblebee." Chris said. "Open your eyes."
Coop quickly hearted out of the room.
"What's wrong with her?" Chris asked.
"Jen, open your eyes for Mommy." Phoebe pleaded.
Jenny gasped and suddenly went very still and quiet. Phoebe started shaking her harder, panic running through her body.
"Jenny!" Chris shouted. "Jenny wake up!"
She lay still. Coop appeared in a flash of pink light and dumped the contents of a glass onto his daughter's face.
Jenny gasped and started coughing as she inhaled some of the water, her eyelids began to flutter and she looked around in the dark to see three faces looking down on her.
"Chris?" she cried quietly.
"It's ok I'm here." Chris said with a sigh of relief.
Jenny pushed herself up into a sitting position and Phoebe hugged her tightly. "Baby what happened?" she asked.
Jenny bit her lip and looked towards Chris. She threw her arms around her cousin and sobbed into his chest again.
"Shh, Bumblebee it's ok." Chris said softly looking at his aunt and uncle who shrugged.
"Mom?" Skye said with a yawn as she opened her sister's bedroom door. "What's going on?"
"Go back to bed baby." Phoebe said softly. "Jenny was just having a bad dream."
"Chris?" Skye asked totally confused.
"Night Ladybug." Chris said with a smile and Skye shrugged and left the room.

"Sire," Leon said making his presence known.
"Yes?" The source asked.
"What was the point in making Genesis see that?" He asked confused.
"It is all part of my plan." The source replied with a smile. "The Charmed ones have hid a secret from their children, one that will break them." He laughed. "And if we release that fear, they will be left venerable and we shall attack them."
Leon nodded, still not really catching on and he left the source to dwell on his thoughts.
"Revenge shall be sweet." He chuckled. "I will avenge you father."
xxxxx
A few days passed, tension was building up in the Halliwell household and outside it. Jenny refused to tell Chris anything she saw, afraid she would scare him. Once he left she burst into tears again and talked to her Mom and Dad. Coop told her everything was going to be fine, Phoebe on the other hand sat with a very concerned look on her face. She wondered if that was what happened leading up to Bianca's death, after the girls sent Chris his powers back. Whatever it was, it wasn't good.
Things weren't going well with Wyatt and Kayla's friendship either. No it had nothing to do with the fact Wyatt was still seeing Bianca. (Well almost nothing.) It was more the fact he was acting like Kayla was invisible. Kayla would ask him if he wanted a drink or anything, trying to be civilised but Wyatt would just act as if she wasn't there.
Gracie and Paige had fallen out after Gracie went on a demon hunt herself, she wanted to take care of the problem quickly and besides it was only a lower level demon. Gracie could handle herself and she did, she took care of the demon only coming away with a gash in her right arm. Paige on the other hand switched into protective mother mode and went off her rocker, something she didn't normally do. All the while the Source sat watching in the underworld enjoying every minuet of the show.
xxxxx
Phoebe and Jenny walked in the front door of the manor, Mel came down the stairs to meet them. She walked over and gave her Aunt and cousin a hug each and smiled.
"What are you guys doing here?" Mel asked.
"I gotta talk with your Mom." Phoebe answered. She turned to Jenny. "Bumblebee, why don't you go hang out with Mel for a bit ok?"
Jenny nodded and Phoebe gave her a kiss on the forehead and then left heading to the kitchen."Is everything ok?" Mel asked.
"I don't know." Jenny replied in a scared voice.
Mel placed a hand on her shoulder in a comforting manor. "Wanna talk about it?" she asked."I-I don't know if I should." Jenny replied looking at her feet.
"Why?" Mel asked. "Jenny what is it? You can trust me."
Jenny sniffed a little. "I know, it's just that…." Mel saw that she was clearly disturbed by whatever it was. It seemed to be eating her inside. "It's ok, you don't need to tell me." Mel said softly. "I don't wanna force you."
"Thanks." Jenny said with a small smile. Mel took her by the hand and lead her upstairs.
xxxxx
Letti did a cartwheel and threw her hands up. "Energy ball!" she shouted and it appeared hovering above her hand in a pink light. With a smile she threw it straight over the top of Chris' head causing him to duck, just in case.
"Nicely done." Junior clapped.
"Thank you." Letti said taking a bow causing her cousins to laugh.
"Well done Boo." Chris said with a smile.
"Ok Chrissy, your go." Letti said with a smile. Chris nodded and Junior took a hold of Letti's hand making them both become invisible.
Chris shut his eyes and made his ears lock onto any movement of sound, he heard a shuffling and then spun round throwing his hands up freezing an energy ball. Confused he looked around for his cousins, they couldn't create them only…
"Chris!" Letti shrieked as she became visible again. "Get down!" she yelled.
Chris dived to the floor as fireball came his way. Junior dropped down onto the back of the demon knocking him the floor. Letti spun round kicking a demon in the chest. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a vile with a green liquid in it. She threw it at the demon and watched as his flesh bubbled up and burned.
Chris lifted his head and saw the fireball go towards Letti, knowing it would hit her he flicked his fingers freezing it. He then disappeared in a shower of orbs and reappeared pulling Letti down to the ground as the fireball unfroze.
Chris protectively covered Letti's head with his arms and lifted his head watching the fireball collide with the back of the demon Junior was fighting, leaving nothing but a pile of ash.
"Thanks." Junior panted.
Chris nodded and lifted his arm off Letti and she groaned, carefully he rolled her onto her back and looked over her for any wounds. Junior ran over and sat down beside Chris.
"Where does it hurt?" Chris asked not seeing any wounds.
"Just my head." Letti answered.
"How many fingers?" Junior asked.
"Three…Four…Five." Letti answered. "I'm ok."
Chris laughed at Junior and he helped Letti sit up. "I'm thinking that's enough for today."
xxxxx
"Piper I don't know what to do." Phoebe confessed. "I can't stand seeing Jenny like this."
Piper nodded. "But….oh…Paige!"
Blue and white orbs appeared, two sets. They faded and left Paige and Gracie standing there smiling. Piper and Phoebe smiled too.
"You two made up?" Piper asked.
"Yes." Paige said and she kissed Gracie on the cheek. "Get outta here." she said and Gracie smiled orbing up stairs to find Mel. "So," Paige said taking a seat beside Piper. "What's up?"
"Jenny keeps on having visions." Phoebe answered. "They come to her in her sleep and she thinks they are nightmares but its putting a lot of strain on her."
"Well what if they are nightmares?" Paige asked.
"Let me finish!" Phoebe snapped.
Piper and Paige's mouths closed over.
"Jenny has been waking up every night the past week screaming for Chris, she is seeing things from the other time line!"
"What?" Piper asked. "How is that possible?"
"I don't know!" Phoebe cried exasperated. "But it is, a few nights ago she actually couldn't wake up and she was just screaming for Chris and he orbed to her. Piper he looked so scared as if it was his fault."
"He never said anything…." Piper looked confused.
"What did Jenny say?" Paige asked.
"I can't leave Chris, he'll hurt him." Phoebe's eyes became filled with tears. "He keeps on hurting him." Phoebe paused and started to break down. "Get away from him!" Phoebe continued. "She was hurting so bad, and w-we didn't know w-what t-to do and C-Chris' face. He thought it was all his fault." She sobbed.
Paige sniffed and put a hand over Phoebe's. "Has anything else happened?"
"I think so, but she won't t-tell me." Phoebe sobbed. "She's scared to hurt anyone."
"Would she talk to Chris about it?" Paige asked.
"I don't think so, she wouldn't say anything about it until he left. I think she saw the events leading up to Bianca's death."
Piper shook her head and stood up. "No, she can't have." tears staining her cheeks.
"Are you saying she's lying?" Phoebe snapped. "Piper you should have….."
"MOM!" Mel screamed.
"Oh no!" Phoebe shouted getting up and heading for the stairs.
xxxxx
Jenny shook on the floor in Mel's room. Mel stood back behind Chris looking on in shock. Gracie ran out the room to get the sisters.
"MOM!" She screamed. "Chris what's happening?"
Bell came running though to the room. She looked down at the sight and gasped before getting down beside Chris. "What happened?" Bell asked.
"I don't know." Chris sobbed. "I hugged her and she did….this…"
"Chris lift your hand." Bell said softly. Chris did so and Bell reached up and touched Jenny's neck looking for a pulse. She gasped and then collapsed to the floor.
"Bell?!" Chris shouted.
Mel gasped. "MOM!" She screamed again.
Gracie, Phoebe, Paige and Piper dashed into the room less than two seconds later. They looked at the girls on the floor and Chris crouched down beside them.
Bell shifted as her mind was hit with another flash of light and then a scene played over in her head.
xxxxx
"Oh my god, uh Phoebe who is this?" Piper asked.
"This is Chris, he's from the future.""Friend or foe?"
"Not sure yet." Phoebe answered walking to Piper.
There was another flash of light and the scene changed.
"Chris when I get my son back I don't wanna see you anymore." Piper said. "I'm sorry." Chris said quietly and orbed away.
"Haven't we been here before?" A girl asked Chris, she was impaled on a broken table leg. Dying.
"Maybe we will be again." Chris said lower his head and placing it on her chest.
The girl twiddled with her fingers and placed a ring in his hand. "You can finish what we s-started."
xxxxx
"Jenny," Piper said softly. "Jenny can you hear me?"
Jenny gasped and opened her eyes, she moved and her arm moved away from Bell. Bell lay on the floor while Paige inspected her, trying to heal her but there was nothing to be healed. Phoebe stood with her arms wrapped around Mel rocking her back and forth on her feet as she sobbed. Chris was standing next to them facing the wall as he couldn't watch, he had caused this after all. Gracie stood next to him placing a hand on his shoulder but he shrugged it off.
"Sweetie are you alright?" Piper asked.
"Mom, where's my Mom?" Jenny asked. "Right here baby." Phoebe said and she smiled as Jenny turned her head to look.
Mel let go of Phoebe and she walked over and crouched down in front of her cousin. "Oh my god." Mel sobbed taking a hold of Jenny by the shoulders before pulling her in for a hug.
Bell gasped and groaned causing everyone to turn and look at her worriedly.
"Are you ok?" Paige asked helping her sit up.
Bell shook her head and placed a hand to her forehead. "No," she moaned. "My head hurts like hell."
"What happened?" Phoebe asked the teens.
"Me and Jen were talking with Gracie and Chris came into the room, he hugged Jenny and she started fitting. Then Bell came in after she heard me scream."
The sisters turned to Bell.
"I, I touched Jenny and….I don't remember what happened."
"Then I came to get you guys." Gracie added.
Piper concerned turned to Chris. "Are you alright peanut?"
"Alright?!" Chris shouted with tears in his eyes. "I just sent my cousin into some sort of shock and best friend into the land of the unconscious of course I'm not alright!"
"Chris, it wasn't your fault." Jenny said looking up at him. "I don't know what it is…"
"Every time I'm around you something happens!" Chris shouted. Phoebe reached out to touch Chris. "No just stay away!" he shouted. "I don't want to hurt anyone else!"
"Chris, don't be silly." Gracie said softly. "You can't be…"
"What if I am?" Chris interrupted. "What if I'm developing some power like that girl in X-men and I suck the life from you? I don't want you to get hurt." With that he disappeared in a shower of orbs.
Bell groaned again and suddenly a little bubble appeared in the room in front of her, the others looked at it strangely. An image appeared, it was of Phoebe and Paige. They looked like they were sitting in a hospital. Paige had tears running down her cheeks. Phoebe looked distressed.
"What do you mean he just faded away?" Phoebe asked her voice breaking.
Paige and Phoebe looked at each other as the tears started coming back.
"In Leo's arms after he died." Paige answered sadly.
"What if he didn't die?" Phoebe asked, her voice a painful sob. "What if it was just his way of going back?" Paige shook her head as Phoebe started to cry.
xxxxx
"Make it stop!" Bell cried as she put her hands over her ears. "It hurts, it hurts so much.""Sweetie." Phoebe said dropping to her knees. "Bell look at me."
Bell lifted her head and came face to face with a teary Phoebe. "It's ok now, it's ok.""It hurts you." She sobbed. "It still hurts you everyday."
"Phoebe I think maybe you should leave." Gracie said softly. Phoebe got up and headed out into the hall with Paige as her tears got heavier.
Piper who was puzzled got down on her knees and took Bell's hands in her own. "Bell listen to me honey, think about something happy. Think about the first time Chris ever orbed to you when you needed him. Do you remember?"
Bell nodded.
"Good," Piper said sweetly. "Remember you had a bad dream and you were shouting for Chris and he heard you?" Bell nodded again sitting picturing the event in her mind.
xxxxx
"Bell, Bell wake up." Chris said shaking her.
Bell's eyes shot open and she sat up looking around her. "Chris? I…I…"
"Are you alright?" Chris asked. "I heard you calling for me."
Bell shook her head. "I had a bad dream."
The ten year old Chris smiled sympathetically at her. "Scoot over." he said.
"What?" Bell asked.
"Scoot over." Chris said again. Bell did so and to her surprise Chris climbed into her bed beside her.
"Chris won't your Mom mind if you stay here without telling her?" Bell asked as he placed an arm around her.
"No." He answered. "I'm doing something nice so she won't be mad."
Bell smiled and snuggled close to him. "Night Chris."
"Night Bell." Chris said softly. "I'll keep your bad dreams away."
xxxxx
"Feel any better?" Piper asked making Bell open her eyes.
Bell nodded. "Yea, thanks. What the hell was that?" she asked.
"Well if I didn't know any better I'd say that you were projecting someone's feelings and uh…memories." Piper answered.
"But I can't do that." Bell said.
"Maybe you're developing a new power." Gracie suggested. Mel nodded in agreement.
"Wait." Jenny said suddenly. "Did you see what I saw?"
"I saw a lot of flashbacks….Chris was in them." Bell answered. Jenny gulped. "Oh."
xxxxx
"So dear little Claire is developing a new power is she?" The source asked himself. "Excellent. That could come in very handy." He smirked. "Leon!" he shouted.
"Yes sire?" Leon said appearing with Ebony by his side.
"One of the many uses of having you around, you know what I want." The source said. "Ebony my dear,""Yes sire?" Ebony said stepping forward.
"I need you to tell Bianca part two is a go."
Ebony nodded. "Yes sire."
"You both may leave." Leon took a hold of Ebony's hand and shimmered out of the cave with her. They appeared in an empty part of the underworld.
"I don't like this one bit." Leon huffed.
"I don't know who's worse, you or my father." Ebony joked.
Leon took a hold of her hand and turned her arm over and looked down at her birthmark. He ran a finger round the edges. "You don't have to be like her you know."
"Yea, I do." Ebony answered pulling her arm away. "Cya around bud." with that she shimmered out of the cave.
xxxxx
The wind was cold and calming, it numbed the pain that had taken over Chris' body and heart. Why was this happening? It was as if Jenny was allergic to him, what if these things killed her? There was a strange noise and Chris sighed recognising it straight away he turned his head and found a group of people and someone standing there he didn't expect to see. Mel, Henry Jr, Letti and Wyatt were all standing there looking at him with sympathetic looks on their faces.
"What are you all doing here?" Chris asked looking away again.
"Mom wanted us to come and make sure you were alright." Mel answered.
"She wanted more than one person to go so we could all report back to her." Letti said.
"You know how your Mom is." Henry Jr answered. He looked at Wyatt and nodded. "So we'll be going now."
"I love you." Mel said to her big brother.
"See ya later peanut." Letti said with a smile which caused her to get a look from Chris. He was trying to hide his small grin but couldn't.
"I love you too baby girl. Bye Boo." Chris told his sister and cousin as Mel and Henry Jr orbed out with Letti hearting out a moment later.
The smile left Chris' face and he turned and looked back out over the traffic. Wyatt edged closer to his brother.
"Hey." Wyatt said.
"Oh, I'm sorry who are you again?" Chris asked. "I mean I thought you were my brother Wyatt but you can't be. He doesn't disappear for days on end and treat his friends like crap and sleep with some whore in his mother's club."
Wyatt cringed. "Chris…."
"What?!" Chris asked irritated. "What do you want Wyatt?"
"Are you alright?" Wyatt asked taking a seat beside his brother. "Mom and the Aunts filled me in.""Cause you weren't there." Chris muttered.
"Chris I'm sorry, I guess I got a little carried away with uh….my…girlfriend."
"Why?" Chris asked.
"Why what?" Wyatt asked confused.
"Why her?" Chris asked. "Why not Kayla, I always thought you loved her. Why did you break her heart?"
Wyatt looked confused and he just shrugged. Chris glared. "Chris I know I promised I'd always be there and I'm sorry I didn't come. I didn't hear you."
"You told me I didn't need to say your name out loud, I just had to think it. Well I did and did you come? No. Wyatt what if Jenny or Bell had died?!"
"Chris…."
"Get outta here." Chris interrupted his brother.
"Little bro…" Wyatt tried but failed again.
"Go!" Chris said harshly. "Come back when you remember who you are and who you love."
Wyatt sighed and orbed away. Chris hung his head low, a flash of purple light glowed over his head.
Chris lifted his head and turned round and saw a very happy looking Bell standing there.
"Chris!" she said happily. "I have a new power!" she shrieked.
"What?" Chris asked confused.
"Your Aunt Paige had a talk with the Elders and your Dad, they were told that the "powers that be" gave me a new power that's why I collapsed when I touched Jenny. It wasn't you."
Chris smiled. "That's great Bell!" He said with a smile and stood up.
"I know right?" She said happily. "Whoa." she said putting a hand up to her head.
"What is it?"
"Anger, a lot of it." She answered. They heard "peeping" and looked over the edge of the bridge to see a whole lot of cars piled up. There was a traffic jam, confused Chris turned to Bell and she smiled a little uneasy.
"This might be happening a lot." Bell said. "Just until I can control it, so I apologize for my mood swings or possible spacing out."
"What is your power?" Chris asked. "You haven't actually told me yet."
"Oh," Bell laughed. "It's projection."
"As in the advanced version of empathy?" Chris asked and Bell nodded. "That means you'll be able to see others thoughts and channel them."
Bell nodded. "So uh….Chris," He looked at her strangely. "Does this mean I still have to stay away from you? Cause you didn't cause my…."
Chris shook his head. "But if you get anything from me tell me ok? I don't wanna hurt you."
"You're too sweet you know that right?" Bell asked giving him a hug.
"So I've been told." Chris said with a smile. Bell put her head down on Chris' shoulder and he smiled.
Suddenly he felt a sharp shooting pain in his back. Bell went tense as she began feeling it to, she lifted her head and broke the hug. "HEY!" She shouted.
Standing behind Chris was a girl with long black hair, she had her hand stuck in Chris' back between his shoulder blades and something was happening to Chris.
Bell lifted her hands to blast the girl with a sonic wave but Chris stopped her.
"No!" he said through gasps. "You need to let her f-finish."
"Hell no!" Bell cried. "Chris she's hurting you."
"I'd listen to your friend, you wouldn't want him to die now would you?" She asked. "If I don't finish, he'll die. Nothing can heal him."
"Chris…" Bell said looking at him she slowly put her hands down and he nodded.
The girl took her hand from his back and Chris let out a cry of pain before falling to the floor. Bell lifted her hands and sent a blast at the girl, it hit her throwing her off the side of the bridge.
"Chris!" Bell cried dropping to her knees. "Chris!" she turned him onto his stomach and saw there was no hole there anymore.
"Damn you're gonna deafen me." Chris groaned as Bell lay him on his back again.
"Why did you make me let her do that?" Bell asked. "What ever that was."
"I dunno." Chris answered sitting up slowly. "It was like it had happened before and I knew what to do."

"Mom," Wyatt said walking into the kitchen after sitting talking with his father in the living room for about an hour or so.
"Yes sweetie?" Piper asked turning round. "What's up?"
"Uh, I was wondering can I bring a friend to the family dinner tomorrow?" Wyatt asked.
"Sure sweetie." Piper replied with a grin. "They are always welcome."
"Thanks!" Wyatt said giving her a kiss on the cheek and heading out to talk to Charlie.
Piper smiled and looked at him strangely. "He knows Kayla and Jason are welcome any time." she said to herself. "Boys." she murmured and turned back to the cookbook she was reading.
