CHRIS'S DREAM
"Night, Mom." Chris said. He was lying in a big bed, in his own room in the manor, the covers pulled up to his chin.
"Night, sweetie." Piper responded to her son. She sat next to him, smiling happily and brushing hairs from his face. She gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead, treating him like a child. But Chris didn't mind. Motherly love was something he hadn't had in a while.
Piper got up, turned out the light and shut the door. Chris smiled and closed his eyes for sleep, and in his happiness, did not hear Piper lock the door behind her.
Hours later while her son slept silently, Piper slowly came inside his room, careful not to wake him. She then held up a lighter in her hand. She lit it and lit the tablecloth on his desk on fire, his curtains, and last his bed sheets.
"Mom?" Chris asked, slowly opening his eyes. Piper looked at him and smiled a big motherly smile, full of love.
"Go back to bed, dear."
"What are you doing?" he asked, sitting up sleepily. "Mom!" he shouted, noticing the fires that were now growing quite large. "What are you doing?" he asked again, fear rising in his voice.
"Sorry, sweetie, but your evil. And I have to vanquish evil, you know that." With the same sweet smile, Piper walked out of the room, locking the door behind her.
"Mom! MOM!" he shouted as the fires were now raging around him, forming one large pile of heat and smoke. Chris began to cough as the smoke got to him, and his body felt like it was about to explode from the heat. "Mom!" he continually shouted. The fire reached his feet, burning them, moving up his legs. "MOM!" he shouted one last time before he could say nothing more from the smoke lodged in his throat. His body burning.
MANOR
"Chris! Wake up!" Paige shouted, shaking her nephews burning body as he lay on the cough. Piper and Phoebe were calling his name as well, but Chris would not wake up, muttering "Mom" over and over. Fear, confusion, anger in his voice. But most of all sadness with tears running down his cheeks.
Finally, he stopped moving altogether and the girls looked at him, knowing he was dead. Then Chris came back to life. Springing forward, screaming as he did the first time he had a dream where he died.
"Chris! Thank god!" Piper yelled and reached over to hug him, even though his body was burned beyond belief, with blood running from his knife wounds from his earlier dream. But Chris scrambled away form her, trying to disappear within the cough to get away. Piper looked confused. "Sweetie?" she asked.
"Stay away form me!" he yelled, getting a flashback of her sweet smile as she burned his room.
"Chris, whats wrong?" Phoebe asked.
"She tried to kill me!" he shouted, never taking his eyes off his mother.
"No! That was a dream, Chris. You were dreaming that." His aunt tried to reason.
His breathing was fast, his eyes wide as he looked between his to aunts and his mother, trying to process what was going on. The dream was so real, he was even hurt. How could it be a dream?
"Come on, Chris, Remember." Paige urged.
Who could remember when right now it felt like you were still on fire? Just now realizing the great deal of pain he was in, Chris cried out and slumped back on the cough. There was no stopping the fire that was eating away at his body.
"Leo!" Paige yelled. The girls tried to comfort him but he kept his eyes shut as tight as they could be, like that would help in some way. And he seemed to know Piper's touch, and whenever she tried to comfort her son, he would freak out and his fear would overtake the terrible pain as he would yell for her to get away.
Finally Piper left the comforting up to her sisters as they used water and ice to try and cool him down. Surprisingly, steam would raise form his body when the cold would tough it, like he truly was on fire.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Chris is on fire!" Phoebe shouted.
"What?" Leo rushed to Chris's side. "He doesn't look like it." he said confused.
"It's his dreams. They're doing something to him." Paige said.
Healing, once again, didn't work.
"I'm going to ask Gideon." Leo said. "His healing is more powerful than mine; maybe he can help." With that, he orbed out.
"Who's magic could be strong enough to do this to a person?" Paige asked. The three sat around the kitchen table. Chris's fire seemed to go out, but the burns still stayed.
"And keep him alive." Phoebe added grimly.
"And likes torture." Piper said as well.
"And can bring darklighters together, and teach them to use magic." Paige said.
'The darklighters aren't the ones using magic, the guy that brought them together is using the magic." Phoebe said.
"But who has that kind of power?" Piper asked.
"No one we know."
The girls sighed. "I'll try the book," Phoebe finally said. She stood up and walked off.
"Leo find anything?" Paige asked.
Piper sighed again. "No. There are no darklighters anywhere it seems like. Its like they all just disappeared and are just lying low."
"They are probably being ordered to lye low. Some big bad evil demon."
"Demons are for the more direct approach though."
"Barbus?" Paige asked, her voice unsure. Barbus hadn't tried anything since he had come back.
But Piper looked as if it had just hit her, and that she was surprised she hadn't seen this obvious thing sooner. "Of course! Barbus must know about Chris somehow and is trying to get us off our guard by doing this so that he can come in and kill us!"
"Is he able to bring darklighters together?"
"He was able to talk the tribunal into believing what he said, I can't imagine what he would be able to do to gullible demons."
"So, this is all one big scheme to kill us, or does Barbus what something from Chris?"
"Only one way to find out; Leo! Phoebe! We have a plan!"
AN: sorry this chapter is so short, but I thought this would be a good place to end it. I think you can guess what the plan is, but if you can't, that is great! A even bigger sorry for how damn long this chapter took! My computer got hit by lightning during that huge storm! But, here it is, at last. Keep the reviews coming!!
