Later they sat together in silence. Both lost in their own thoughts.
"What's happening now?" She whispered.
Chris closed his eyes. He had fared this question.
"Well, Prue is my connection to the witches."
"But she is dead. How can she be your connection?"
"I need her because she is my link to the Halliwell matriarchs!"
Piper looked surprised up.
"Why do you need the matriarchs?"
"I'm going to borrow their powers."
"Excuse me?!"
"I can't allow the binding between Melinda and Balfour."
Piper stared speechless at Chris.
"You can do that? So easily borrowing their powers?"
Chris snorted lightly.
"Well I wouldn't call it easy."
"It took a long time to manage all this. It was and is our last option. I hopped that I wouldn't have to do this but unfortunately Wyatt left my no other choice."
"How did it start?" Piper asked curiously.
"That Wyatt turned evil I mean."
Chris leaned his head against the wall and closed his eyes.
"We are not exactly sure when it happened. Everything seemed to be fine when we where growing up. But two years before your death things started to change."
"Why's that""
"That was the time when Leo finally decided to leave us for good this time. He had barely spent any time at all on earth and when than he spend his time with Wyatt. I don't know why but he and I never got close. I was your son from the start."
She smiled.
"You and Wyatt were arguing all the time and I was glad when I could stay away from the manor.
After your death we moved in with the Solaris. Harlan and his family welcomed us with open arms. That was also the time when we got to know Faith. She was a year older than Wyatt but that never stopped the two. They seemed to be made for each other."
"So she is his childhood love?"
Chris nodded.
"Yes. We all went to magic school. That was a real cool time. Wyatt was different. He seemed to be over whatever had bothered him and was happy. They got engaged when they were 18. Everything seemed to be perfect. I had started dating Bianca and Melinda well she was the little one not really interested in boys yet. Soon after Wyatt's and Faith marriage something started to go horrible wrong."
"I don't get this. When everything started when he was about 18 why did you came back so far in the past?" Piper wondered.
"Because we didn't know what turned him. It could have happened 5 minutes before but also 15 years back. We have o clue. Maybe it was a kind of long-term effect. Or so. We don't know."
"Ah I see. And you still don't know it? Right?"
"Right. We are totally clueless. But enough from the past, future, whatever. You know what I mean.
I have to get ready and so do you."
He stood up and offered her a hand.
Piper took it and he lifted her up.
"I will go and weak Phoebe and Paige."
Chris nodded and looked after her as she left the room.
