When two paths cross

Halliwell Manor

Phoebe's room

Phoebe put the piece of paper in the drawer next to her bed and sighed. She hated to lie to her sisters, but she didn't have another choice. If Paige and Piper read this page, they would certainly try to stop her from vanquish Selene.

Chris' speech was impressive and very touching. Because of him, Piper changed her mind about Cole. But Phoebe knew that it would not be enough to make her sister understand what she wanted to do.

No, what she needed to do.

She sighed heavily, closed her eyes and slept.

She didn't notice the night turning into day. She was so exhausted, that she slept in that same position the whole night.

"Phoebe? Wake up," Piper called her, gently touching her arm.

"What?" Phoebe asked, with sleepy eyes. She looked at the window and noticed that the sun was already high in the sky.

"Jason's here, sweetie..." Piper explained. "He wants to talk to you."

Phoebe rubbed her eyes and looked up at her sister. "Please, tell him that I'll be down in five minutes."

Piper nodded. "Are you sure about this? Jason is a good man..."

"I know, but I don't love him... I love Cole," Phoebe said softly, standing up.

Piper sighed and shook her head. "You'll get hurt again... We can try a potion to make this feelings go away... Think about it, you would be free," she insisted.

Phoebe gave her a faint smile. "Love is a magic between two people that cannot be conjured or erased by spells and potions, Piper. And you know that..." she said quietly.

Piper lowered her head. "You know how much I love you, Phoebe. I just want the best for you..."

"I know," Phoebe said, hugging her sister. "I know..."

The Underworld

Chris walked through a dark maze of stone walls. He went down to the Underworld to try to find out who sent a Darklighter to attack Wyatt and Leo. He had a bad feeling in his heart about it. After all, his brother was too little to understand what was happening. He was being caught in the middle of a war between the sisters and the Underworld.

And Chris didn't know exactly how it was affecting him.

Chris knew he was harsh on Piper, but she had needed to hear everything he said. He knew how easy and comfortable seeing the world in black and white could be. He used to think this way, but he was forced to see the world from a different perspective.

"There's no good or evil. It's all about power," Chris shook his head, as he remembered Wyatt's words.

"I smell a witch," a demon suddenly shimmered behind him.

Chris felt his entire body freeze. He tried to orb away, but the demon managed to grab his orbs and threw him against a wall. "I know you... You work with the Charmed Ones," the demon shouted.

Chris stood up and tried to blow him up, but failed. Then the demon threw an athame into his shoulder.

Chris moaned in pain, as the blade was buried in his body. However, from somewhere, he managed to find the strength to use his telekinesis to send the demon against the stone wall.

He quickly pulled out the athame from his body and used it as a weapon to attack the demon. Gasping for air, Chris tried to ignore the pain and used all his strength to throw the athame at the demon.

Halliwell Manor

Living room

Phoebe looked up at Jason, who was sat on the couch waiting for her. "Hi," she said softly.

"Hi, Phoebe," he said, sucking in a deep breath.

She cleared her throat. "Jason, I..."

"What happened after you ran into your ex-husband?" he asked, crossing his arms against his chest. "You disappeared. I was here, waiting for you, and you just disappeared... with him."

Phoebe lowered her head. "I know and I am sorry."

"You still have feelings for him, don't you?" he asked.

Phoebe nodded. "I'm really sorry. I know I should talk to you first..."

"But he was running away and you couldn't allow that," Jason said with a soft smile. "He is... You know... He's a witch like you?"

Phoebe shook her head. "No, he's not... But he has powers... It's complicated."

"Well, you're complicated too, Phoebe..." he said with a sigh. "I'm going back to Hong Kong today."

She smiled and took his hands on hers. "Thank you, Jason... Thank you for everything."

He nodded. "Be careful, Phoebe. I don't know your ex-husband, but I saw in your eyes how much he hurt you..."

"We both hurt each other's heart... As I told you, it' complicated," she said.

"I see... I better go," he said.

Phoebe nodded and watched him leaving the manor. "Goodbye, Jason," she muttered to herself, as a single tear came down her face.

"Are you okay?" Piper asked, as she entered the room.

Phoebe nodded. "I'm fine... It's just..."

Piper hugged her sister tightly. "I know, it's hard... I hope you don't regret it, Phoebe... You know that sometimes love is not enough...," she said full of pain in her eyes.

Phoebe frowned. "Are you okay? I mean, with all this mess, we didn't have time to talk about you and Leo..."

"He's gone," Piper said with a faint smile. "I thought after that night he would understand that he belongs with me and Wyatt, not with the Elders, but... He left me. Again."

"Oh, sweetie, I am so sorry," Phoebe said. "But he'll go back. You are meant to be together, Chris' the living proof of it."

"Yeah, I think you're right... It's weird. Chris is my son," Piper said frowning.

"He is..." Phoebe shook her head. "I still can't believe we didn't notice it before. I mean, he's so like you and Leo."

"He has Prue's eyes," Piper remarked. "I think he's more like her than me."

"He's a Halliwell, he's so..." Phoebe stopped as she saw Chris orbing in. "Chris!" she immediately ran to him.

Piper froze for a moment. Chris was hurt. He was bleeding.

And he wouldn't heal by himself.

"What happened?" Phoebe asked, as she quickly pulled him in her arms.

"A demon..." he said weakly. "Damn athame hit me... But I vanquish him!"

"Leo," Piper let out in a whisper, her voice cracking in fear. "Leo, Leo!" she managed to scream. "Leo!"

In a matter of seconds, Leo orbed in. "Piper, what's..." he stopped as he saw Chris injured.

"Heal him!" Piper ordered.

Leo nodded and bent down on his knees. He lowered his hands to Chris' wound and his hands started to glow. Little by little the wound disappeared. "Thank you," Chris muttered.

Piper started to cry and ran to Chris. She hugged him tightly and kissed his forehead. "Never scare me like this again!" she said.

Leo frowned. "What's happening here?" he asked in surprise. "Piper, what the hell is that? You and him?"

Phoebe gently put her hand over his shoulder. "It's not what you're thinking."

"He's our son," Piper said softly.

Leo stepped back. "Our son?" he asked in confusion.

Piper nodded. "Chris is Wyatt's brother..."

"From the future..." Phoebe added.

Leo looked from Phoebe to Chris. "My son..." he whispered.

Son?

Wyatt's brother?

Future?

Suddenly his eyes turned black and he passed out.

"Leo!?" Piper ran to him.

"I think it was too much information for him," Phoebe remarked with a sigh.

Salem

A street in front of the Salem Witch Museum

The rain was cold and biting. Cole was about to cross the street when a woman grabbed him by the arm. "Please, help me," she said.

"Sara," Cole said, as he turned his back. Sara was his ex-girlfriend. "What's wrong?" he asked in concern.

Sara shook her head. "An evil enchantress stormed into the museum. She's hurting Helen and Karine. I need your help!"

Cole nodded and walked into the museum with Sara.

"What the hell..." he muttered, as he saw the two woman on the ground, screaming in pain.

"Look out!" Sara pointed to the ceiling of the gallery.

Cole saw a woman in white clothes. She was laughing vigorously, enjoying the pain she was inflicting on Helen and Karine.

Cole didn't think twice, he formed an energy ball and threw it at her.

The woman hit against the wall and landed on the ground. "Who in the hell are you?" she asked angrily.

Cole's face turned pale, as he saw the crescent in her forehead.

Selene.

Suddenly, Selene looked at him more attentively and a slight smile crossed her face. She never saw someone so similar to Endymion before. His face, his hair and his eyes... He was identical to him.

And he seemed to recognize her.

She could see it in his eyes.

"Selene," Cole let out in a whisper.
