SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY
"It's good they don't know." Cat said
"I know, but you have no idea what this is doing to me. It is so hard for me to keep this a secret." Chris said
"I know it is, that is why I am here."
"What are you talking about?"
"If I didn't want to be here I wouldn't be, you know that. I am the only person he can never find. He cannot find me unless I want him too, or I am dieing. "
"Right, so you just let him try to kill you?"
"Chris he cannot kill me if you want to know the truth. But I knew he had found a way to come back here, so I needed to come too. If he thought I was too weak then he would take me with him. I couldn't let you take him on by yourself." Cat said
"Thank-you. I do appreciate it, but you shouldn't be doing this."
"Yes, I should, you know that. If you die now, or back there then it would have been all over. No one would be trying to change our past, and Wyatt would still be the same. That is what you are trying to prevent."
"I know but..."
"No, no buts not ever again. I hope. Now shut up."
"Why?" Chris asked in a whisper.
"He's near. Give me your hand."
Chris did as he was told. He grabbed her hand just as some orbs began to form in front of them. It was Wyatt. Just before Wyatt fully formed Cat shimmered them away.
"You cannot keep running from me Chris." Wyatt yelled after them.
Cat shimmered back to the Manor. When she did Piper was about to blow them up.
"You shouldn't do that." Piper said somewhat relieved that it was them.
"Sorry, but he would be able to track an orb trail, when people shimmer it is very difficult to follow it, especially if you don't shimmer. Which he cannot do." Cat replied.
"How can you only evil can?" Leo asked
"Long story cannot get into it now. It would take to long. Do you have some crystals?"
"Yea." Paige said from where she was sitting.
"Put them around the house so he wont be able to get it. Evil wont be able to get through it easily, but he wont if I can get something. Put the crystals around the outside of the house on your property lines would be best. I'll be right back." She started ti shimmer only to be stopped by Chris
"Your not..."
"Chris, it's the only way."
"Let me come with you."
"You cannot, if you are there he will have everything he wants stay here until I get back."
"You can use mine."
"No, yours is different then his. You know that. He has different powers, it would trap you, not him, or not all of him."
"Then take the babies, you only need a little."
"It wont be what it is now. That is the good in him We want to trap both good and bad."
"What are you talking about what baby?" Piper asked.
"Tell them Chris. I have to go." Cat shimmered out
"Tell us what Chris?"
"That person was Wyatt." Chris said
"What person?" Piper asked
"The man from the attic."
"No that could be Wyatt."
"But it is, I have no proof to show you but you have to believe me on this one."
"I think he is telling the truth Piper." Phoebe said
"If I am lying and you figure it out I will leave you alone." Chris said, "Please you have to believe me. If I was to take a lie detector right now I would be passing it with flying colors."
"That isn't a bad idea." Piper said
"We don't have one." Paige said.
"That doesn't mean that we wouldn't be able to get one. You conjured me a man, why cannot we get a lie detector to appear." Piper said
"She has a point." Phoebe said.
"Do what you want, I don't care, do what will make you believe me. I am telling the truth." Chris said in his defense.
"Okay, here goes:
'I don't believe what he says
'So let me be able to tell
'If he's lying or giving the truth
'Let me know if what he says
'Is the way it really is." Piper waited for a minute
"Are you going to test me or what?" Chris asked
"I am waiting for the device to show up." Piper said looking around.
"You cast a spell that make it so you are a human lie detector." Chris said
"But how..."
"My full name is Chris Perry."
"Wrong." Piper said. She clasped her hand over her mouth.
"I'm 20." Chris said
"No you aren't." Piper said. Piper didn't know how she could know that Chris never told them his age.
"How do you know?" Phoebe asked. "He could be."
"I don't know. I just knew." Piper said
"I have a question, Piper." Phoebe said.
"Why did you just use the truth spell on him. It would have worked."
"Yes, but then we would only be able to talk the truth and something might have come out that we don't want to come out." Piper said
"You can tell when someone is lying to you or not." Chris said. "Now, Wyatt turns evil and he was the guy that was in the attic attacking Cat. He was coming to take me back."
"True." Piper said out loud. Still stunned that she could tell the truth.
"Okay since it seems to be true, what you said, then explain who turns Wyatt." Phoebe said to Chris.
"I don't know." Chris said
"True" Piper said
"Wait...in the attic when he called you 'little brother' is he really your brother?" Paige asked. Now she remembered that Chris already told them. "You're Piper's some aren't you?"
"I cannot answer that right now." As Chris said that he received a kick to the stomach from some unknown assailant.
The sisters looked around to see who had hit Chris. They saw no one.
"What happened?" Paige asked as she helped Chris get up.
"I don't know..." Chris told them 'Cat what's happening.' He thought to himself.
"No, that's a lie." Piper said. "I cannot take this I want to be normal again. I don't like not knowing the truth but this is ridiculous. Make it stop."
"Let the truth not be known
'Change this women back to before she knew
'That someone was lying
'Or someone was dieing." Chris said. He wasn't very good with spells he would always have Cat write them. She never had to rhyme to make the spell work. "Can we stop with the twenty questions no..." Chris started to say, but had to stop because of the sharp pain that was going through his entire body.
"Chris are you all right?" Paige asked
"I will be fine once Cat gets back here." Chris responded through clenched teeth.
Other side of town
At that same moment Wyatt and Cat were fighting
"You thought you could hurt me. Your wrong. I am more powerful then you. You have no power over me." Wyatt said
"Oh, really, then how could I get close enough to get what I came for." Cat replied. She was pinned to the wall.
"Just because you have it doesn't mean you are going to be able to use it. You cannot leave. There is a no orbing spell on the building. You wont be able to use what you took from me."
"Who says I am going to orb." Cat said as she was preparing to shimmer away.
"Oh, no you don't." Wyatt yelled as he shot Cat with a dark lighter arrow.
Cat pretended it didn't happened and shimmered away to her families house. Where she knew there would be extra crystals since her parents always kept them around since Sam was born. Sam was Cat's older sister by about 2 ½ years older. She found the crystals and was ready to orb to the Halliwell Manor, but remembered she wouldn't be able to because of the arrow. The longer it was through her shoulder the longer her powers would be out of of control. She couldn't orb because of the poison. She couldn't take it out herself, and shimmering could also make it move faster. That was when Wyatt appeared again in front of her.
"I told you, you wouldn't be able to use it." With a flick of his wrist Cat went flying into the wall. "You aren't powerful enough to stop me." Wyatt continued. He started to choke Cat making a fist in the air.
Cat reached to her neck, hoping somehow she would be able to get out of this situation she had gotten herself into. Her only way out was to shimmer or orb. She didn't have enough strength to throw Wyatt across the room. But she had enough to get the crystals set, and to the Halliwell Manor, or so she hoped.
Wyatt could tell that she was formulating a plan in her head so he sent a piece of a chair that was broken into her stomach. Catheren cried out in pain, but she knew it was just to distract her. Wyatt loosened his grip and she knew that this was her only opportunity.
"Crystals." Cat called out.
The crystals disappeared in a blue light and reappeared in her arm.
"No" Wyatt yelled, starting to tighten his grip again.
"Bye, Wyatt." She said as she shimmered away
At the Manor
Chris could feel the pain and he knew what it was. He wouldn't have known if he hadn't been shot with that kind of arrow before. He could feel Cat's energy draining too. She was anxious. He wanted to help her, but knew she wouldn't want him to. She would tell him to leave.
"Chris. What do you mean when Cat gets here?" Phoebe asked
"Cat and I have a magical bond. I don't know when it happened, but we can feel each other's pain, and feel each other's emotions. Right now she is hurt and Wyatt isn't letting her heal herself, so she is in a lot of pain at the moment." Chris replied
"That sucks, being connected to each other." Paige said
"Not always. It's a way to know if the other is okay or not. Sometimes we can locate each other, but we both have to want to find each other. The stronger one goes to the weaker one, usually to help out. So if one of us is hurt and needs help we asked the other for help."
"So go find her, and help her." Paige said
"She doesn't want me too." Chris said
"Why not?" Phoebe asked
But before Chris had a chance answer the question Cat shimmered in, with an empty box in her hand. She fell right as she materialized.
"Oh, my Gosh." Piper said as she saw the piece of the chair sticking out of her back, and the arrowhead sticking out of her shoulder.
Chris ran over to her and turned her over. So everybody could see her face. It was covered in cuts and bruises.
"Cat." Chris said as he reached for the wooden leg in her stomach.
"Don't touch it." Piper yelled
"Why?" Chris asked
"That's a darklighter arrow."
"I know." Chris said as he reached for the leg again. "It wont hurt me okay, trust me."
"Chris..."Phoebe's warning came out to late. It was cut out by Cat's scream of pain, just as Chris pulled the leg out. Chris tried to cover the hole to try to stop the bleeding. He then used his telekinesis to take the arrow out. Cat again screamed as the arrow was taken out of her shoulder. With the objects removed Chris got Cat to sit up and put her against the wall still with his hand over her stomach. Cat opened her eyes and looked at him.
