a/n: Happy Birthday to me!!! Well it's tomorrow but anyway...the birthday has
brought a way out of the writer's block I was in and enabled me to give you
all a present!!! Shouldn't that be the other way around....meh....here you go!
Oh and uh....Charmed_drewsGurl**~~~ no there is no romance between Izzy and Chris nor any feelings between them like that. That's just wrong, ew. As I explained in my author notes for ch. 4...I think, one of those chapters back there...they're close because they grew up together and are very close in age (like months apart). All they had growing up was one another basically and they look at each other as brother and sister (I explained a bit more in the chapter) and yes it is ok to hug your cousin and want to protect them. That being said on with the story!
Chapter 18
Chris was listening to the Lady of Avalon as they walked through a corridor. "I cannot help you find him, but I can tell you he will be close by watching and waiting for an opportunity to get close to young Wyatt," she had been saying.
"The only way to get close to him is through Piper." Chris said.
"Which would explain the vision your cousin received, she will be the one who can find Morian, no one else."
"What about her mother?" Chris asked hoping Phoebe would do, "Phoebe has the power of premonition, Izzy inherited it from her. And she's pregnant with Izzy right now."
"No, only your cousin can. Isabelle has the connection to Morian, she was the one who received the initial vision of Morian and she will continue to receive the visions, no one else. Now I cannot give you much to help in this task. All I can give is this, the water from our sacred well; it should be poison to him still. It became so when he was banished by Vivian so long ago." She said handing him a vial containing the water. "Make a potion with this water, and write a spell. It will almost certainly destroy Morian. Go, now with the blessing of Avalon and save our futures."
"I cannot begin to thank you—"he started.
"Should you succeed in your endeavors will be thanks enough, and you shall be rewarded in the future, for this will not be forgotten by Avalon no matter how your timeline changes. Time moves differently here on Avalon then it does in the outside world. Go."
Chris sighed as he orbed away. He had no idea how big of a task he had undertaken until now. He once thought he was only trying to save Wyatt, but now...now he had to save his entire family. He knew saving Wyatt would be hard, but saving his entire family would be next to impossible.
He appeared in an empty attic. He figured the girls were downstairs so he started to the door when the far wall suddenly glowed. He looked back thinking, "Oh shit." Out walked Wyatt and Chris's eyes went wide. "Thought you could get away that easily, dear brother?" he asked.
Before Chris could respond Izzy came running out of the portal as well and pushed Wyatt aside. "Izzy!" Chris shouted. She crashed into boxes that were in the attic with Wyatt receiving a premonition in the process:
"I know this isn't easy for any of you." Gideon was saying to the six of them. Leo and Richard stood off to the side behind them. "But Leo and I think it would be in all of your best interests to attend the magic school now. Here we can teach all of you to control your powers and you would have a home as well."
"We already have a home!" Isabelle shouted, "I'm not leaving the Manor or Daddy!"
"Izzy—"Leo began.
"No! I don't care if they're gone! I'm not leaving my home or my father! Mom wouldn't want that!"
"Leo, the decision does ultimately rest upon her and her father, you and Richard have already agreed but her father has not." Gideon said.
"Izzy, we are the children of the most powerful witches ever to live and we shouldn't separate ourselves from each other, we're more vulnerable separated!" Wyatt said.
"And you wanna go here? Piper wanted you and Chris to have a normal life! You won't get that here and you won't be honoring her memory by staying here either! Piper didn't want this!"
"Izzy's right, Mom didn't want this. And I don't wanna stay here either Dad." Chris said.
"Chris, this isn't your decision." Leo started.
"Oh don't act like you suddenly care dad! You were never there for us before now! Why do you suddenly care about what happens to us?" he shouted.
"Because I'm your father, Christopher! I've always cared, you know why I couldn't be there and why I still can't be there!"
"Oh what so your just gonna abandon us again now? When we need you the most?" Chris shouted, "I'm not staying here and you can't make me!"
That was the day they all became separated from one another, from Wyatt and their cousins. Chris and Isabelle both remained at the Manor with Jason and Richard left to raise them, Leo had gone back Up There and all they had was each other; Wyatt had opted to stay at the magic school. He felt more comfortable there he had told them, and their cousins didn't really have a say in the matter, they were still very young. When Wyatt came back to the Manor, that's when things had changed. He wasn't the same anymore, and they didn't know why either. He came back when he was 18, and he had received Excalibur younger then Piper had originally intended. Leo gave it to him at 16 under Gideon's urging. Gideon had said that he had found someone to train him with it and after Leo had met with this trainer he agreed, that trainer had been Morian. She and Chris were still 16, almost 17, when Wyatt came back and he proclaimed that he was head of the family so he would be taking care of them from now on, he had tried to forbid Isabelle from ever seeing Jason again saying he wasn't a witch and they shouldn't be wasting their time with him.
Then things started changing, Wyatt moved them out of the Manor much to their protest as he began to take over the city. He soon changed their ancestral home into a museum and then he did the unthinkable...he went Up There and killed everyone, even Leo. Isabelle didn't know why she had received that vision of when they had first separated at that particular moment, but it had brought back to mind everything that happened then and she didn't like it.
Wyatt's instinctual force field went up almost immediately throwing Isabelle to the other side of the room. Chris ran over to her to make sure she was alright and then looked back at Wyatt, a mixture of terror that Wyatt was there and relief that Izzy hadn't been hurt in his face. Wyatt had known she had received a premonition by the look on her face, "What did you see?" he asked.
She looked up at him breathing slowly in and out and frowning, trying to figure out why she had seen THAT particular moment, it had to have meant something. "The day you left us and went to magic school." She replied.
"As I recall it was the two of you who decided to stay here. I'll never understand why either, that's why both of your abilities are so underdeveloped! It's not like it matters, you're both coming back with me, NOW!" he answered.
"You'll have to kill us first, we aren't going back there not until--- "Chris began.
"Not until what? You've saved me? Grow up Chris, and stop living in the past! Mom's dead, and it's time you accept that and accept who you are supposed to be, what you're supposed to achieve!"
"I WON'T be your right hand man of evil!" Chris shouted.
"I've lost my patience with you long ago Christopher, and I'm through playing these games." Wyatt said forming an energy ball in his hand.
"No!" Leo shouted as he saw Wyatt throw it at Chris. He had appeared in the doorway when Wyatt's force field had thrown Izzy across the room and no one had noticed him. He now lunged at Chris pushing him out of the way. The energy ball hit Leo instead. "Leo!" Isabelle shouted.
Wyatt formed another energy ball and was fully prepared to throw it when Piper, who ran in with the girls following behind, shouted "Hey!" Wyatt threw it and Piper exploded it before it reached its intended target. "You throw another one of those at your brother and you will regret it!" she shouted.
"Sorry Mom, there isn't much you could do that I'd regret." Wyatt replied.
"I don't care how much power you have in the future or whatever, I'm still your mother and you will listen to me." She said stepping in the path between Chris and Wyatt. Wyatt hesitated, Piper had on a look he hadn't seen in a long time, one that he never disobeyed as a child, one that he still couldn't disobey. Chris looked over at Izzy who was helping Leo up. "I'm ok, but are you?" he was saying, "I saw you get thrown across the room."
"I'm fine, a little bruised up but other then that I'm fine." She replied. Chris cautiously made his way over to her and Leo. Piper still stood in between them, and after making sure that everyone was ok she said, "Ok who wants to explain what going on?" she asked looking from Wyatt to Chris and Isabelle. Phoebe and Paige still stood in the doorway.
"There isn't anything to tell." Wyatt replied, "Izzy and Chris were just coming back to our time, with me."
"You wish!" Chris said.
"Chris did you find a way to get to Morian?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah, Izzy, she's the connection." He replied, "I imagine that premonition you had has something to do with Morian but he wasn't there that day." Chris continued looking at her.
"Oh please!" Wyatt shouted.
"Shush!" Piper said, "Where is this Morian, Izzy?"
"I don't know," she replied, "and I don't know how I'm supposed to find him."
"Your premonitions," Chris answered, "they're your connection to him."
"She won't find him in any time; you're both coming back with me, now!"
"No one's going anywhere!" Piper said looking back at Wyatt, "Don't you cross me, remember you're still a baby in this time and I'm your mother, I can still punish you!" she threatened. "Now either you help us or you can go back to the future but either way Chris and Izzy are staying here because they want to and we need them."
"I'm not leaving without them." He said shortly.
"Fine, then you can take a seat or start helping, but either way you stay away from them." Piper said pointing at Chris and Izzy, "I will not have you terrorizing them in their own home."
"Never stopped him before." Chris muttered.
"Piper wasn't around then." Izzy said to him.
Piper looked back at them, then over at Wyatt. If her dying caused this rift to happen between their family in the future, then she wasn't gonna let it happen it again. She would be around before Wyatt ever had a chance to terrorize his brother or cousins.
