Chapter 10
A few seconds passed and an unconscious Chris appeared on the floor of the attic. "Chris!" Leo shouted when he appeared.
"Oh God, Leo he's hurt!" Piper said rushing over to him. Leo healed his wound but Chris didn't wake up. "Why isn't he waking up?"
"I don't know, he's not dead."
Isabelle closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. She prayed they hadn't been too late. "Don't worry honey, he's gonna be ok." Phoebe said patting her back. She looked at Phoebe and gave her a half-hearted smile. Isabelle wanted to believe her, but for some reason she couldn't get Prue's words out of her head. "Chris is prepared to kill himself to keep Wyatt from turning him but it might already be too late." What if it had already been too late? What if Wyatt had turned Chris? As the girls helped Leo move him to the couch, Isabelle just watched, thinking. If he had been changed then she had to make sure the Charmed Ones weren't around when he woke up. "I'll watch him." She finally said. "You all have other stuff to do, I'll make sure he's ok."
"He's my son, I'm not leaving until I know he's alright." Piper said looking back at her.
"What about the club? Don't you something going on there tonight?"
"Someone else can take care of the club, I have to stay here tonight."
"No, Piper, don't put your life on hold right now because of Chris. He wouldn't want that."
"Funny, I think he would since he always wants to go demon hunting."
Isabelle looked down and smiled to herself, 'that sounds like Chris alright.' she thought. "Fine, then I don't want that." She answered looking up again. "Look, Piper, I know he's your son, and I know that you're worried about him, but there is a very big possibility that he could hurt you. All three of you, and I can't risk that, and trust me when I say Chris wouldn't want that either."
"But what about you?" Phoebe asked, "I'm not gonna let him hurt you."
"And if he hurts you then I won't be here period. Guys just go, please. Let me take of him."
"I'll stay here with Isabelle and make sure Chris is ok." Leo said.
Reluctantly the girls agreed. Phoebe and Piper went to the club and Paige went back to Richard's. Hours later as Isabelle sat watching Chris, Leo watched her. "What are you so worried about?" he asked her.
She looked back at him, "You have no idea what your son is capable of. He's hurt all of us in so many ways, Chris and I both carry scares that no one will ever be able to heal. I'm not taking any chances."
"What happens to Wyatt?" he asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine. I have no idea who or what turns Wyatt, it wasn't until after you gave him Excalibur that he turned. He was beyond everyone's reach then, and you wouldn't even listen to the warning signs before it was too late."
Leo frowned, "I give Wyatt Excalibur?" he asked.
She looked back at him, "You had too, Piper...Piper was gone by then."
Leo shook his head, "That's not right, I'm not supposed to give Wyatt Excalibur, only Piper is." Before Isabelle could respond, she heard Chris coming to. "Chris? Chris come on wake up, it's me, Izzy." She said looking back at him.
"Where am I?" he asked coming out of it.
"You're in the Manor Chris, back in 2004. We cast a spell and brought you back." She responded. Chris looked at her, then at Leo frowning. "Where are the sisters?" he asked.
"They're not here right now."
"Good." He said sitting up. He waved his arm and sent Leo flying across the attic.
"Chris, what are you doing?" Isabelle shouted.
He looked at her and simply said, "Bringing you home." Isabelle stepped back, "I won't go." She said shaking her head.
"I didn't expect you too," he said forming an energy ball in his hand. He threw it at her, and she quickly deflected it.
"What did he do to you?" she asked.
Chris stood up, and started walking towards her, "He made me see the light."
"Think about your family, Piper, Leo, they wouldn't want this!"
"Wyatt is my family." He said coldly, again he waved his hand and she flew into a wall. He picked her up and pulled out a sheet of paper from his pocket. It was the sheet he had ripped from the book, when he came back here the first time. He read the spell and the portal appeared on the opposite wall as Leo came too.
"Chris, no-" he shouted but he was too late. Chris had stepped through with Isabelle and the portal closed.
The future..
As Chris stepped through the portal, Wyatt and his minions were waiting. He set Isabelle down and fell down to his knees. "Ahh---" he said in pain as he suddenly glowed. He looked around as a demon picked up Isabelle's unconscious body. Realizing what was happening he quickly got up and tried to stop them but two demons held him back as the one holding Isabelle shimmered away.
Wyatt smiled as he walked towards Chris, "Sorry I had to do that Chris, but the only way to get both of you back was to put a spell on you."
"You son of a-"
"Ah, ah Chris, you wouldn't to call your own mother that, would you? Take him back to the loft, and watch him. I have to see to Isabelle."
The present..
"What do you mean something happened to Chris?" Piper said.
"I don't know, when he woke up he was---he was different. It's like something happened to him. When I came to, it was too late, they were gone."
"So what do we do then?" Paige asked.
"There's nothing we can do-" Leo began.
"No, there's something we can do." Piper said, "Chris and Isabelle are in the future. They're in trouble, and we are going to save them."
"How?" Leo asked.
"We're going to write a spell and go to the future ourselves." Piper said firmly.
"Piper, you can't just-"
"Leo, don't." she said looking at him, "Our children are in trouble, and it sounds like the future of this family is too. And I for one am not going to sit and let my son turn evil or my other son grow up in a world like that."
"And I'm not letting my daughter grow up like that either."
"I'm with Piper and Phoebe on this, sorry Leo. This is the future of our family we're talking about here. And the future of all magic, if anything I think you'd want us to do this Leo."
Leo sighed, "I'll see what the other Elders have to say about this."
"Fine, you go do that, but no matter what they say, we're still going to the future and saving them." Piper said. Leo just stared at her for a minute. It was useless arguing with her. He orbed Up There and the girls got to work on a spell.
A few seconds passed and an unconscious Chris appeared on the floor of the attic. "Chris!" Leo shouted when he appeared.
"Oh God, Leo he's hurt!" Piper said rushing over to him. Leo healed his wound but Chris didn't wake up. "Why isn't he waking up?"
