I'd like to dedicate this chapter to piperspeanut, someone I know I can always rely on for positive feedback and support (despite how much I may test their patients) and gives me the desire to keep on writing, thank you x

Hope you all enjoy this chapter, comments are always welcome!

The first thing Chris noticed when he appeared home was the baby sitting in a playpen in the corner, looking inquisitively at him. The second thing he noticed was the old style decoration his home was now dressed in. Both things posed striking resemblance to what he had seen in photos from his families past. The last thing he noticed was the three people sat in the lounge, two that had a striking resemblance to younger versions of his parents and the other who had striking resemblance to someone that he automatically felt a strong link with.

His mind immediately went into overdrive, he was aware that this was not his time. Maybe a spell gone wrong…probably something Wyatt had cast? With that thought in mind he turned back to the young child and couldn't help but grin a little. Though that didn't last long.

He'd been taught about what to do in this situation, his parents and magic school had greatly emphasised it to him based on his heritage. Yet this was the first time he had found himself in this position. He began wishing his version of Wyatt was here and not a young toddler, he would have known what to do!

They had all told him of the possible repercussions of revealing information in the past.

Wyatt must be really worried Chris thought back to himself

He quickly comprised a plan, he would say nothing and somehow get back to his time…he could do that he told himself.

Chris turned back to the three people starring at him. How was he meant to do this, by the looks of toddler Wyatt he wasn't even born yet!

I'm going to erase my existence, just great Chris thought to himself

This is all your fault Wyatt! Chris told, though doubting he could be heard 12 years in the future.

"How is it my fault?" the one Chris wasn't sure of questioned aloud, he was suppressing the need to laugh.

Chris jumped on the spot at the response to his unvoiced question. He looked to the toddler again trying to figure it out. Was that guy his older brother from the future? And if so how did he end up in this time as well?

'Quit over thinking, your giving me a migraine, it's ok, I will explain all this!" Chris heard the voice in his mind. He immediately gripped his temples as a pang passed through his head. Ok, so that was Wyatt? Since when did their telepathic link get so strong? He couldn't block out the voice nor was he able to block himself from this future version of his brother. Future brother's powers must have expanded he decided to himself. He'd gone passed the worried stage and was now at full on panic!

"Chris?" Wyatt asked gently.

Both parents looked at Wyatt then back to Chris in disbelief.

"Chris?" Piper repeated.

To Chris it sounded like she knew of him but the lack of warmth towards him in her voice made him doubt that she knew who he was. He sighed sadly.

Before anyone had chance to say anything Leo and Chris disappeared in orbs. Wyatt looked confused and attempted to follow the trail but found his path blocked. He reappeared next to his mother looking helpless, his little brothers fate was now being decided by a higher power, one that he couldn't currently access. He could however pick up on his little brothers increased panic.

When they appeared the place looked completely white. The only beings Chris saw was those cloaked in Gold who now surrounded him. He began thinking about the father he part time despised and questioned why he was at the manor, his dad was rarely around.

However, his main concern at the moment was to escape these people and if that required his dads help he was willing to accept it. He had heard of their kind, they were the 'good' that separated his parents and often took Wyatt away from him to go training. The cover of 'good' failed to fool Chris, he knew these people and he didn't trust them in the slightest!

Leo had appeared on the other side of the hall and was instantly concerned for his son. A nearby elder he new as Rachel addressed him,

"It appears that the charmed ones whitelighter has being de-aged by a method we are currently unaware of. We feel this is our opportunity to finally get some answers!"

Leo had only half heard what the fellow elder had told him, he was more concerned by his panicked looking son on the other side of the hall. Chris had taken two steps backwards and had his hands held defensively as if ready to attack those surrounding him.

Leo was unsure of whether Chris would listen to him but feared what would happen to his son if he attacked the elders.

"Chris, don't!" Leo called across, authority in his voice.

Chris immediately turned his attention to his dad. He didn't know how he knew but Leo was aware of who he was. Feeling slight safety in this knowledge he orbed next to his dad. Leo looked at him surprised but grateful for the reaction.

The elder who had previously spoken to Leo addressed him once again, "this may be our only chance Leo. Let us question the boy, we will get our answers from him," Leo noticed her eyes darken, "…by what ever means necessary!"

Leo placed a hand protectively on his sons shoulder, the elders were yet to know of his heritage, the action caused him to look up at his father.

"Please don't let them dad," Chris pleaded

Leo didn't know if it was the desperate look in his sons eyes, the trust Chris had placed in him or the fact that he had called him dad, but at that moment Leo's heart ached for his son as he was consumed with the need to protect him. Leo doubted that if Chris had asked if he could blow up all the elders that he would have being able to refuse him.

Leo's eyes darkened as he looked at the other elders, "Chris came here with a purpose of not saving himself but a future that we all failed. For that I trust him and if your unable to do the same then I no longer wish to be part this!" He waved his hand about emphasising he meant being an elder.

Chris gazed up at his father in awe, he didn't understand all of what his father was saying but at the moment that didn't matter. For now he was safe…at least until he got back home.
