They beamed into the apartment and Phoebe went to where her sisters were standing. Melinda and P.J. stayed in the corner.
"Hey future girl!" Piper yelled throwing a knife.
Bianca simmered out avoiding the vanquishing potion and grabbed the knife and held it to Piper's throat and said, "You were saying."
"Wow, she is good." Phoebe said.
Paige tried to move towards them.
"Uh uh, I can kill her in half the time it takes you to think about it."
"Yeah well we still have enough to vanquish you." Paige said.
"Maybe, but then you really will have to hope the power of two will do won't you Paige." Seeing the look on Paige's face she said, "Oh you'd be surprised at what's in the history books. Now put the vials down slowly."
"Bianca don't. Let her go and I promise I'll go with you." Chris said.
"Chris what are you doing?" Paige asked.
"Saving mom's life obviously." Melinda thought. Then projected her thoughts towards Chris, "Chris what is she thinking? She kills mom she kills you, kills us?"
Ignoring everyone Chris said, "You kill her there won't be a future for either one of us to go back to and you know it."
"Chris what's going on? Doesn't she know if she kills mom she kills you?! If she cares even little about you why would she risk that? She came to take you back not kill you, right?" Melinda asked.
"What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked Chris having not heard Melinda's mental question to Chris.
"You'll see if you live long enough." Bianca said.
"Chris you can't go."
Without looking at her Chris said, "I have to."
"Piper freeze them." Paige said.
Piper tries but nothing happened.
"Ah ok I get why she didn't freeze but why didn't he freeze?"
"Un..un...unless he's a…"
"I'm a witch too."
"Chris that's gotta tell them who you are." Melinda said. "There's no one else that has ever defied the elders like our family has."
Ignoring Melinda and answering the look on Paige's face Chris continued, "That's right, part witch, part whitelighter just like you Paige."
Melinda realized how wrong she was when Paige said, "You lied to us?"
"I had to, it was the only was I could get you to trust me."
"Trust you?" Phoebe asked.
"Never mind it doesn't anymore."
"It does matter, Chris! Tell us how to help you." P.J. said.
"So, that's it, you're just going to leave?" Piper asked.
"I don't have a choice, she stripped my powers. Looks like Leo will have to fix that floorboard without me." Chris turns and looks Bianca and says, "Let's go."
P.J. held Melinda back to keep her from rushing to the portal.
After the portal closed Phoebe asked, "What now?"
"What do you mean what now? Nothing happens. He's back where he belongs." Piper said.
"Piper we can't just leave him. We have to do something to help him."
"Paige, he lied to us, again!"
"And right now he's powerless. Who knows what the person who hired Bianca will do to him. Come on Piper, you can't be that heartless." Paige said.
"Fine, let's head back to the attic, talk to Leo, and try to figure out what to do." Piper said.
Phoebe looked at Melinda and P.J. and asked, "You girls coming?"
"No, we're going to stay here for a bit." P.J. said.
At that Paige orbed her and her sisters back to the manor.
"I can't believe mom wanted to just leave Chris there."Melinda complained.
"Well she doesn't know Chris is her son yet."
"That doesn't make it right. If you hadn't stopped me, I might have made it into the portal. Maybe I could have helped Chris."
"Or gotten one or both of you killed." P.J. said. "You know nothing about his world or his Wyatt. You powers might not have worked on him. I still don't understand why he mentioned a floorboard."
"I know a little about his world. But you're probably right. I'd just get in the way. That's why they never let me go with them."
Before P.J. could say anything to convince her cousin she was wrong the portal in front of them opened up. They hoped it was Chris. That he had found a way out. But we're shocked and surprised at who it was.
