A Fragile Mind, Chapter Four
Fours hour after the attack Leo went to try and heal Chris a second time while the witches tried to find a way to heal him. As Leo brushed his hand over Chris he could feel the warmth emanating from his chest. At this point warmth meant a fever, and a fever is the first sign of an infection.
Leo sat at his son's bedside for a moment running his fingers through Chris's hair. Then Piper came in to relieve his watch. He got up and left the room pausing only a moment to look at his son, and then leaving to go find out why this was happening.
Piper sat in Leo's abandoned space at Chris's bedside. She sat talking to him, eerily reminded of the last few days at the hospital. It could be the end this time. She kept on hoping for another way to heal him, but knew that if there was nothing for them to look up, then the chances of them finding a cure were very small. And the chances of finding one in the next 2 hours even smaller.
Piper was lost in her thoughts and barely noticed Chris awaken. He asked her then "Am I dying?" Piper shocked that Chris was awake after being out so long quickly told him no.
"I won't let you die. I will do anything in my power to stop it." Piper looks at him and realizes that he is hiding something.
"Chris, what is it? Do you know what could stop this" He didn't even have to answer because she could see the answer in his eyes. He knew exactly what was going on and how he could be cured.
"Chris what it?" Chris shook his head in reply, knowing that there was no way he could reveal this about he future.
Suddenly Chris started to sit up, deciding that he was going to get the cure himself. "Chris what the hell are you doing lay back down."
Chris looked at his mother, knowing he was going to need her help to get up to the attic and the cure. "I need to get to the attic. There is a potion their I need, if I drink it, it will heal me. Could you help me up?"
Piper, though believing he should stay in bed, refused to let her son die. If that meant that she had to carry him up to the attic she would. It was a long treacherous climb, but with his mothers help Chris made it to the attic.
When he arrived in the doorway, his father and his aunts stared at him in shock. "What are you doing out of bed?" Phoebe asked concerned. "And why did you help him?" She demanded of Piper angry that her sister was jeopardizing the life of her nephew.
Piper shrugged as Chris staggered towards the cabinet at the other side of the room. "He said there was a potion up here that would cure him, and he wouldn't tell me what it was so I helped him up here."
Everyone turns towards Chris as he begins routing through the cabinet looking for the potion. Finally he finds the one he wants. He sees two identical bottles and knows that one would kill him and the others would save him. Then he remembered something his mother told him as a child "The ones too the left do something, and the ones on the right undo the ones on the left." Hoping that she had used that philosophy now he downed the one on the right.
The others watched as a golden glow enveloped Chris he floated of the ground for a moment his wound closing in a flash of golden-blue light. In a second the light was gone and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Leo rushed over to see if he was alive only to find that he was sleeping, his injury gone. After telling the sisters that he was all right Leo orbed Chris into the bedroom to sleep. Tucking him in and saying goodnight.
Leo returned to the attic only to see Paige standing with a potion bottle in her hand looking confused. Her sisters asked what was wrong.
"I decided too see which potion it was that cured Chris, and I only found one potion missing. The counterpart to this one."
"Well," Piper asked. "What's that one?"
"This," Paige said "is the blocking potion we made up in case we had to bind Wyatt's powers, so the one Chris took was this's un-blocking potion."
"What?" Piper exclaims.
"That means that we must have used this potions to block Chris's powers in the future." Paige explains. "It's the only way this would have had any effect whatsoever."
"Yeah, but I think we are all forgetting one thing here. Chris has powers. He orbs, goes invisible (*AN, I think he does) and has telekinesis." Butts in Phoebe.
Piper turns to Leo. "How could he have powers if we bound them?"
"The only way he could have powers was if the binding potion wasn't strong enough to contain them. But this is Wyatt's potion so that would mean..." Leo said drifting off as the implication set in.
"That would mean that he was more powerful than Wyatt." Piper finished.
