Chris was on his knees in the attic.
"Go away", he moaned in pain.
His shirt was faintly red under the dust he'd been covered. His hairs were rumpled and his hazel eyes looked wildly at the demon towering above him.
He was out of solutions to vanquish it, but saying 'go away' was not going to help him, of course.
Yet as he blinked and nearly fainted, the demon burst into flames and disappeared.
A few meters behind the spot where the demon had been standing was a girl.
A girl in jeans and a white tank top.
A very pretty girl in jeans and a white tank top.
"Don't move", she said. It wasn't an order or a request. She sounded like she was merely stating a fact.
"I wasn't going to", said Chris, slightly irritated. He suggested he'd call for Leo to help him, more to himself then to the girl, but she moved over to him, held her hand over his body and healed him.
"Are you a whitelighter?" Chris asked her, but she merely smiled and her hand rested lightly on his tanned cheek, before she vanished.
......::::::::::::......
"I swear, she was right over there!" Chris half-shouted to Leo who had appeared only minutes after he'd called him.
"And she didn't tell you anything?"said Leo in an attempt to sound interested.
"I just told you, she didn't say anything but 'don't move'!" Leo got on his nerves so easily the last few weeks. Being watched at everything you do isn't super, but this lack of interest from Leo's side was new to Chris.
"What is wrong with you?" he asked him, utterly irritated. "Huh? Oh, I don't have to tell you that! And, what are you doing here?" Leo added in a faint attempt to distract Chris. "I thought Piper had told you she never wanted to see you anymore?" A look of pain appeared at Leo's face at the mention of Piper's name.
"That...is none of your business...Well?" asked Chris impatiently.
"Aha", said Leo,"Paige already told me there were potion ingredients missing." He paused.
"You have been sneaking in here to keep vanquishing demons. I must say I admire your determination. But if Piper finds out..." Leo winced and suddenly Chris understood.
"You told Piper you believe me and you've had a row..." He concluded.
Leo turned away from him and when he spoke, his voice was choked with tears.
"She said that I'm being irresponsible and that Wyatt should be my first concern and...and..."
"You shouldn't trust me anymore because I'm from the future and I've lied so many times", added Chris.
Leo turned around; one single tear was running down his face...
"I know, Chris. I know why you've lied. I know who you are..."

"Ouch!" Phoebe was ducking under the table and she had just cried out loud because she'd found her present for Jason back. Now, she was crying out again, but this time because her head had collided painfully with the table.
"Phoebe, what-are-you-doing-will-you-get-out-from-under-that-table!" said Piper in her trademark 'impatient' voice.
"Now, see, I was just-"
"Yeah, yeah. So when are you going to give it to him?" interrupted Piper.
"Well-"Lucky for Phoebe, at that very moment Paige orbed in, looking very frustated and thoroughly worried.
"Yo, what's up, sis?" said Phoebe, obviously happy with anything that'd distract Piper.
Paige sighed deeply and said: "It's Richard. It looks like magic finally got him. He already threw me against the wall and..."
"He-what?!" repeated Piper, looking thoroughly shocked.
Phoebe had said nothing, but had gasped equally shocked.
Paige looked really miserable standing in a corner of the dinner room.
"I don't know, he kinda...freaked when I orbed into the room. I didn't know he was in there and I was in a hurry."
"So, what else did he do?" asked Phoebe.
"Well, he used magic and that's kinda shocking if your name's Richard Montana!" cried Paige. She sighed deeply but obviously, she'd made a decision.
"He's dangerous and I need your help. I want him captured in a magical cage, so that I can undo whatever's happened to him."
"We're on it", said Piper, grasping Phoebe's hand and walking towards Paige, "but first we'll need crystals for the cage. They're in the attic."
Paige reached out to take their hands and orbed them away.
