Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed, I did have fishes once, but they died. My
brain is a strange place so I might babble a little during my author notes.
I'll update and do the rest of the chapter soon probably in a week, if
people like it. If it's really stinking bad , I shall sat at home crying
and eating ice cream. Thank you for reading.
Chapter 5 Time's up
"Whoa, not good." I have seen ghosts before, but I have never been one. Walking through walls is a hard to describe experience. My time's running out. "It's almost time, Chris." I know that voice. "Clarence, what are you doing here?," I ask hiding myself. "Actually, I've come for you. It's okay, son. I know," he said calmly. My suspicions start to kick into gear. I step out of my hiding place and ask," Who are you?" "I am some one sent to make this easier for you," he replied. I had to ask. "What do you mean this?" "Oh, I think you know." I have known him for a month, when I found out I might disappear. I can't believe I didn't realize it sooner. "You're an angel of death," I said. "Yours was a unique situation that required special handling. I wanted to get to know you, get you to trust me," he confessed. "There's really nothing to be afraid of," he continued offering his hand. "That's easy for you to say," I reply, backing away. "Don't fight it, Chris. It will only make it harder for you," he urged. Fight, that's what I do. I don't give up. "No forget it. I still have time," I yell as much for me as for him, "You stay away from me!" I rush up the stairs, knowing he has no reason to follow me.
I have to find out if I still have a chance, if my aunts have figured out where my parents are. It's strange, how many times evil has tried to kill me, and I may be the cause of my own death. Okay, probably shouldn't think that way. As I near the attic door, I hear Paige mention something about a séance. Séance? That would mean that they're dead, but they can't be, I'm still here, kinda. Don't panic, Chris. "Uh, sorry, I don't mean to be pushy, but...," I say walking in. "We're working on it ," Phoebe assures me rapidly . "You don't look so good," Paige says before starting their spell.
"Sister Spirit, we call to thee, cross on over so that we may see" She finishes the spell nervously. Suddenly they seem to disappear, and instead the attic is empty except for me. Then I see them, Mom and Dad. Mom is closing her eyes. I never thought that I would see them again. I want to tell them what's happening, so Mom can comfort me. I need to know that somehow every thing is going to turn out all right. Dad glances up and stares. "Chris?" Mom notices me too and says, "Not exactly who I was going for, but it will work." What are you doing here?," Dad asks completely confused. What do I tell them? Not sure what to do, I just let the truth come out a little. "Ceasing to exist, I think." Then my parents are gone, and my aunts ask where I was. "I saw Piper and Leo," I answer. "Chris, you can find out how to get them out of the ghost plain!" Phoebe exclaimed, "You need to go back and find out more information.'' I understand what needs to happen. I close my eyes and let myself go. When my eyes open, they are in front of me. I want to touch my Mom, have her hold me, but it can't happen. "He's back! Quick, ask him," Leo urged, knowing time was important. "What did you mean ceasing to exist?," Mom asked. I can't tell you, it doesn't matter right now. Getting you back does. "I can't explain right now, all that matters is I'm a connection to your sisters and they want to know how to get you guys back." "The vanquish was a portal. They need to get back to the alley and access it somehow. We don't know who set it up. ," Piper explained. I didn't want to leave them. I want them to know who I am, but maybe it's better this way. "Okay,'" I say and then return to my aunts. "They say some body made a portal for the darklighter to pass through," I spat out. "Somebody who?" "Dark lighter!" I shouted. There was nothing I could do. I watch as they fought. My time's up. Would things have been different if Mom and Dad had known? Maybe, it's better this way; they won't have to deal with guilt over things they had done to me. They didn't know who I was. Some how they should've. It doesn't matter. I always thought dying would feel different, but this is almost peaceful. I watch as Phoebe and Paige duck behind the couch and throw the vanquish potion at the threat. "Piper isn't here anymore. I can't feel her," Phoebe sighed. What could I say to them? They tried so hard to save me. Maybe they won't remember, it would be better that way. "It's too late. And not just for Piper and Leo. Take care." With that I'm gone.
