A Fragile Mind, Chapter 3
After leaving Chris's room Piper headed down the stairs. She arrived at the bottom of the staircase as Phoebe, Paige and Leo orbed in.
"Why didn't you call and tell us the Chris had wakened up?" Phoebe demands angrily.
"Shhhhh," Piper says intending for Phoebe to lower her voice. "He just went to sleep, and I don't intend on waking him up." Phoebe gives Piper a look and opens her mouth to start again when Piper interrupts "Kitchen, Now!"
When they are all in the kitchen and the door is shut Phoebe begins again. "Now, would you mind telling us why you didn't call?"
"I'm sorry, but it wasn't really on my list of priorities. I was more concerned about getting Chris calmed down, and home."
Leo picks up the words calmed down. "He was upset? What happened?" Leo asks concerned about his welfare of his future son.
"When he first woke up in the hospital he was very confused about where he was. He started freaking out, saying he wanted to go home. Thank god the doctor showed up because I had no clue what to do. He orbed us home and then started to leave, and I had to try to keep him here, because the doctor told me not to leave him alone. We had tomato soup for dinner and." Before Piper can finish her sentence Paige interrupts her.
"Tomato soup," She asks "He is in a virtual coma for two days and all you can see fit to make him is tomato soup."
"Yeah, actually I had the same reaction myself. I told him I would make whatever he wanted and he asked for tomato soup. He, He said his mom used to make it for him when he was little. I guess he didn't put two and two together there." Piper stops and takes a breath before continuing.
"Three bowls later I joked about there not being enough for anyone else, and he started to panic about it and was going to go out and buy more tomatoes because he felt bad. I finally got him calmed down about that and we went to watch TV. About an hour into the movie he started crying, and then twenty minutes later I got him calmed down enough to go to bed, and then I came down here. As you can see I didn't exactly get a break where I could call any of you."
Phoebe is looking down, feeling bad for accusing Piper of not calling them. It wasn't her fault. "He started to cry?" Phoebe asks concerned.
"Yeah, it's like he couldn't hold it back anymore. I guess this whole back from the future to save my brother from evil thing, is really starting to get to him.
Jus then a demon shimmered into the middle of the living room. Knocking over a vase in its haste to find its prey
Chris hears the vase shatter, and is out of his bed and half way down the stairs before it occurs to him he could have just orbed. He quickly continues orbing to the kitchen that the demon has just entered.
The demon has the charmed ones and Leo trapped in a corner. Chris can't figure out why they haven't fought back until he sees the tattoo on the demons arm. It is a Tensas demon and it sprays it's toxin on its victims and temporarily takes away their powers. Just as he is about to explode the demon six more arrive to aide it. He sees the latest demons target his mother and his unborn self.
The demons quickly realize that the greater threat is behind them and turn on Chris. The demon throws his energy ball as Piper realizes what's going on "NOOOOO," she yells frantic that Chris is going to be killed. Suddenly Chris flicks his hand and all seven demons are blown up. Unfortunately this happens as the energy ball grazes his shoulder throwing him to the ground.
Piper runs towards her son, with Leo only steps behind her. He puts his hand on Chris and tries to heal him. Nothing happens.
"WHY CAN'T YOU HEAL HIM?" Piper yells upset that he son is hurt.
"I, I don't know."
"Is he going to be alright then?" Piper asks more quietly knowing it is not her husband's fault that their son is hurt.
Leo turns and looks her straight in the eye "If he doesn't get healed within the next six hours he will die.
AN: Sorry I cut the chapter so short, but I have homework and knew I wouldn't do it if there was a chapter to finish. Sorry about the cliff hanger, but I think we all know what's going to happen next.
