The
empty Halliwell house showed no human or living person would be
entering it very soon. Even the Halliwell sister's didn't seem
like coming home. Yet, the loud voice of Chris echoed through the
empty house. "Hello?" He called out as he entered the
foyer. "Anybody here?" He asked as he made his way into the
living room. Chris then set down his bag and looked around the empty
house.
It surprised him a bit that the sister's weren't
home. Not at a time like this. As he looked around once more, he
rushed up the stairs to the attic, and straight to the book. Chris
flipped through the pages as his grandfather entered through the
attic doorway. Chris glanced up from the book as he stopped flipping
through. "Hey Grandpa." Chris said.
His Grandfather
made his way across the room and over to his grandson. "Chris,
how have you been? I haven't seen you, since you've told me about
your mother." He said thinking back to the day when Chris told
him about Piper. Still, to this day, he couldn't believe what his
grandson told him. Yes, he did want to know, but now, he knew that
her days were numbered, forever for the next fourteen years at
least.
"Fine Grandpa." Chris said as he turned back to the
book of shadows. He flipped another page. "I still can't believe
I told you that either." Chris said and he finally looked up from
the book and to his Grandfather. "But, I at least had to. Just so
somebody would understand why I'm not getting close to her. I will
as a kid if that makes everyone happy." Chris added as he flipped
another page in the book.
"Good." His Grandfather said as
he walked over to Chris and glanced over his shoulder to see what he
was looking for. "What are you looking for anyways?" He asked as
he stood next to Chris, who had already flipped through a good part
of the book. Still, his Grandfather looked over his shoulder and
watched what Chris was doing.
"Nothing Grandpa. I'm just
trying to find a spell." Chris said as he shut the book close. "I
knew I wouldn't find it in the Book of Shadow's anyways." Chris
said as he walked and sat down on the attic couch. He leaned his head
back against the wall as he looked over at his Grandfather.
"What's
wrong Chris?" His Grandpa asked as he went to sit down next to him
on the couch. He looked at his Grandson, who had already lifted his
head when his Grandpa sat down next to him. "You've been acting
odd ever since I arrived here." He added. It was what he was
noticing. But, still, why was Chris acting like this at all? Grandpa
asked himself mentally.
"Nothing Grandpa, really, nothing,
I've just been thinking about my mom for a long time now." Chris
said as he stood up. "I'm trying to stop the event from
happening, but then, we wouldn't get close. But, it is Piper who
can help Wyatt from taking over." Chris said turning around to face
his Grandfather. "If I could just stop her from dying. There will
be two of me, but she'll die because the power of three is gone."
Chris said, and with that, he sat back down.
As a trampoline,
his Grandfather stood up as a reaction to what he had just heard from
his grandson. "You mean she dies because either Paige or Phoebe
dies before her?" He asked a little surprised that two of his
children will die instead of just one. This saddened him greatly. He
turned to Chris. "Two, are going to die. Not just one?" He asked
still a little confused about the whole thing.
Chris shook his
head. He, too couldn't believe it himself when he first heard. And,
at the moment, he couldn't believe he had just told his Grandfather
the biggest secret that he had tried to keep a secret. This could
alter the future, in the worst way ever. "No. It's not like
that." Chris said. Actually, it really wasn't. The true Power of
three wasn't there. When Chris looked up at his Grandfather, he was
gone. 'He must of left.' Chris said as he looked at the
door.
"Phoebe!" Chris said as he saw her in the doorway.
"Look..." He started before she cut in.
"What are you
talking about Chris? Piper's going to die when you're born?
But... how? Chris, why?" Phoebe asked as she walked over to Chris,
in total confusion. She couldn't believe that Chris kept this
secret from all of them; this is something that you needed to tell
people. He defiantly needed to tell them this.
