Chapter 14 – What To Do

Hey thanks for the reviews for the last chapter

Thanks to my beta Twin Who Likes To Travel for getting this back to me so quickly

Without anything else to say:

Enjoy!

Previously – "You want the truth, fine!" the blonde stated loudly as she sprung from the couch and turned to face what would have been her mother-in-law, who didn't move but looked at her calmly, "It was difficult, ok. Is that what you want to hear? I could barely breathe in her presence. I could barely look at her, let alone speak to her. I did because you asked me to! But I can't do it anymore, it's too hard! I can't breathe properly when she's around! I can't stand to be in the same room as her when I know I can't hug her! Kiss her! Even hold her bloody hand or brush my fingers against her arm! Things I am so used to doing, but I can't because even though this is Parker, she is not MINE!"

"Take a look around you, Wyatt. You see all the people in front of you….They're not there in our reality. They are all dead. Most of them died in my arms with me begging them to hold on. Some…Some of them, I didn't even get to say goodbye to…Some of them, I didn't even get to know…And some of them didn't even exist in our reality. Chris is my best friend…..He is my cousin…He is the only family I have left…..He is the only thing that keeps me from giving up…..I am the same for him."

"You are lucky you're not dead," was all the brunette whitelighter said before he, too, orbed out. He knew where Parker had gone and intended to join her.

"I'm sorry," Wyatt whispered as he watched Chris orb away.

"I can't believe we're dead in their reality. Some of us weren't even born," Mel whispered.

They were in her bedroom and could hear their parents and Wyatt talking downstairs. Mel couldn't believe her brother could be so stupid. She could see that what Chris had said was true. Wyatt was lucky he wasn't dead. Every one of the second generation could tell that this Parker was dangerous and not someone you wanted to mess with. Sure, their Parker wasn't someone you wanted to mess with either, but this Parker had a sinister air about her. There was something about her that reminded Mel of a cobra. She could strike at anytime, given the chance.

"This is all so fucked up," Patience said, and it only reminded the others of the seriousness of the situation when KJ didn't reprimand her for her language. "Everything has just gone from bad to worse since we said that spell," Phoenix admitted softly.

"We have to put our wants aside for now and focus on getting this Chris and Parker back to their reality," KJ stated, and for a moment, everything was silent before the rest of the second generation nodded their heads in agreement to eldest Brody's words.

"Don't talk to me," Parker muttered angrily.

She could feel her magic pushing against her skin, she could feel her emotions of everything that had happened since the war. The ones she had placed in an iron clad cage were banging against the bars and demanding to be let free. But they were ignored as her mind was too occupied on what had just happened.

'How dare he say that to me! He has no idea of what my life has been like! What it is like! How dare he think I don't care just because he isn't getting his way! Oh, the precious twice-blessed is upset that he is not getting his way. So whatever he says, we must take with a pinch of salt! I should have killed him where he stood for those words!'

Parker's thoughts suddenly turned onto different ways that could have gone and most of them ended with Wyatt going up in flames.

"Parker, you have every right to be angry, but you know Wyatt doesn't think when he gets into one of those moods. No matter what reality we're in, that's not going to change," Chris assured her calmly.

Even though he wanted nothing more than to go back to the Halliwell manor and sort Wyatt out, he knew he couldn't. He had to calm Parker down. He wouldn't leave his best friend like this. He needed to make sure she was ok.

"Chris, I love you. You're my best friend and everything, but I'm really not in the mood for your reasoning right now," the firestarter revealed through gritted teeth. But even as she said those words, she could feel her anger disappearing. Her cousin had just always had that effect on her.

"Aww, come on, Parks, you know you love my reasoning….It's got us out of a few sticky situations over the past couple of years, hasn't it?" Chris asked.

He wasn't expecting an answer but got one in the form of a quiet sigh from the firestarter; who now had her head between her hands while looking down at the concrete below her feet.

"You know I went to the underworld?" Parker asked rhetorically.

"Yeah?" Chris answered; to which Parker looked up from the ground and rolled her eyes at her cousin.

"I…I found something….I think," Parker responded but didn't elaborate, which made the whitelighter a little frustrated.

"And?" Chris asked with a slightly impatient tone,

"And it's good, sort of," Parker replied, and again, she didn't elaborate.

"Ok, so what do you think you found?" Chris questioned.

"Them," Parker answered; looking at her cousin, who she could see was confused.

"Them?" the whitelighter wondered as he cocked his head to the side slightly, something he had picked up from Parker.

"Them," Parker repeated and saw recognition light up in her best friend's green eyes.

Halliwell Manor

"Damn it, Wyatt!" Billie said as she looked at the twice-blessed; who was staring at the ground with a guilty look on his face.

"Look, I said I'm sorry. What more do you want me to say?" he asked quietly, which was a change from his usual loud self.

"Wy, listen…..I understand your frustration at all of this, but what you said was way out of line….What Chris said about Parker killing you might have been a bit of a stretch, but I can tell you you're lucky all she did was pin you to a wall," Paige reminded him as she was about the only one that was still calm.

Piper and Leo were staring at their eldest in shock, Billie was staring at her nephew in anger, Kyle was staring out of the window with a concentrated look upon his face, and Phoebe was looking, with tears in her eyes, at her wife's hand that was in her own. Brooke had orbed out nearly right after the second generation.

"She wouldn't have had a chance to try anything," Wyatt scoffed; his pride once again getting in the way of him thinking clearly.

Paige put her hands up in the air and gave a defeated sigh. Her eldest nephew had always had a problem with Parker being the most powerful. When they were growing up, he had constantly challenged her to fights and competitions at different magical things, and Parker always won. She thought he had grown out of it by now, but it seemed the youngest charmed one was wrong.

"I think it's time you and the others know about seventeen years ago….I know you read the inscription in the book and there was a tape. But you need to know it all, not just the basics," Phoebe suggested.

Her grip on her love's hand tightened considerably as she brought the both of them to sit on the couch with one of Billie's arms wrapping instantly around her wife's shoulders and giving them a comforting squeeze.

"Are you sure, Pheebs?" Piper asked her sister. When she saw Phoebe look at Billie quickly before nodding her head, she turned to her eldest son, "Go and get your sister and cousins and tell them to come downstairs. We would like to speak to them….They're in Mel's room." Piper had added as an afterthought and watched as Wyatt said nothing but walked straight up the stairs and out of sight.

"This is going to be interesting," Paige murmured to her husband; who nodded briefly, the concentrated look never leaving his face.

A Park

"Are you sure?" Chris asked for what seemed like the millionth time, which made Parker curl her hands into fists so she didn't chuck an electricity ball at her cousin.

"Yes, Chris, I am sure, and if you ask me that once more I will hit you so hard you'll be crying for a week," the spiky-haired firestarter threatened; which made Chris lean away from his best friend slightly. He didn't need to be told twice.

"What should we do? I mean we can't go anywhere near there again. But at the same time, we'll need to, to check it out," Chris commented, but Parker merely shrugged her shoulders.

"I think the more important question is, 'Should we tell the others?' I mean if we do tell them, they'll probably go there half cocked, get hurt, and screw up even more….And then there's the fact that I don't know if what happened really was that…..Oh shit, I'm starting to confuse myself," Parker muttered as her head went once again, back into her hands.

"Yeah, but if it is, then that means that they can get back," Chris informed her as he shifted slightly on the park bench they were sitting on.

It was getting dark now, and they knew they would have to go back soon. But they didn't know what they would be going back to, which was the problem.

The firestarter scoffed, "Chris, let me ask you this. If it is true, then how the hell are they going to get back when they have no bodies?"

Chris smiled sheepishly, "Ah, yes that would be a problem. I don't think having Parker and Chris's souls floating around the manor would work very well," Chris replied before he sat back and just looked at his surroundings.

Everything was so peaceful here, so quiet and calm. And for once in his life, Chris felt normal. He felt all the pressures that been placed upon him lift and vanish for a moment before they all came crashing back down on him and he rubbed his eyes tiredly.

"What are we gonna do?" he pleaded and turned slightly, so he was looking at his cousin, who didn't look up from her hands as she replied.

"I don't know, Chris….I just don't know."

So that's the end of that chapter what did you think?
