Past Consequences:

Chapter 8: Troubled Mind

Piper, Past Piper, Leo, Past Leo, and Wyatt ran up the stairs.

Then there came a loud crash from Chris's room, the five quickly running in to see Chris telekinetically throw a darklighter across the room.

The darklighter landed smoothy on the ground and shot an arrow at Chris.

Piper quickly froze the scene, ran over, and grabbed the arrow. "I hate darklighters. Always trying to kill my guys. Bastards."

Leo ran over to Chris. "Are you okay? Did he get you?"

Chris shook his head. "No. I'm good, Dad."

Piper turned to the darklighter and blew him up, only to have two more show up.

Piper quickly froze the two, wide eyed. "Here's an idea. How about we don't kill them?"

"I like that idea," Past Piper said, nodding.

The darklighters became unfrozen, fighting past Piper's magic.

Past Leo quickly grabbed Wyatt and ran away from the room.

"My brother's in there!" Wyatt yelled, trying to run back.

"Yes, but I don't need two dead future sons, alright?" Past Leo said.

Wyatt sighed in frustration. "Fine."

O.O

One darklighter quickly shot an arrow in Chris's stomache, then shimmered away, the second one following.

Chris yelled in pain and fell to the floor.

O.O

"Okay, I'm not ignoring that," Wyatt said, running back to the room, Past Leo following.

The five quickly ran to Chris's said.

"Honey, this is going to hurt a bit," Piper said, putting her hand around the tip of the arrow, noticing how deep it was in.

Chris pushed her away. "Don't touch it. You're making it hurt worse."

"Chris, we have to get it out of you. If we don't, you'll die," Leo said, putting his hand on Chris's cheek and stroking it with his thumb. "Let your mother pull it out and I'll heal it, okay?"

"It hurts," Chris said, tears starting to roll down the side of his face and onto the carpet.

"I know it does. But it won't stop until we get it out of you," Leo said, glancing down at the arrow.

"He's never been shot with a darklighter arrow before, has he?" Past Leo asked Wyatt.

Wyatt shook his head. "No, he hasn't."

"Sweetie, if the poison doesn't kill you, you'll bleed to death," Piper said, staring into Chris's eyes. "So, can I pull it out?"

Chris nodded slightly as Leo took his hand, and screamed in pain as she pulled out the arrow, squeezing Leo's hand tightly.

Leo forced his hand out of Chris's and healed him quickly. "See? That wasn't so bad, was it?"

"That hurt like hell, Dad," Chris said, sitting up.

"Are you okay now, sweetie?" Piper asked, stroking Chris's hair.

Chris nodded. "Y - Yeah. I think so."

Leo smiled slightly and pulled him up. "Next time, yell for one of us so you're not fighting demon's alone. Got it?"

"It was just a darklighter," Chris said, shrugging.

"No, for me, Phoebe, and Prue it would be just a darklighter. For you, young man, he's a serious threat," Piper said, putting her hands on her hips. "Got it?"

Chris sighed. "Fine. Whatever."

"Did you forget about the rule that clearly states that you cannot say whatever in the household?" Piper asked, raising her arms.

"You guys are impossible," Chris said before starting to orb away.

Leo stopped him. "No. We're just your parents. We worry about you."

"I don't see why. I'm 16. I can take care of myself," Chris said, crossing his arms.

"Obviously not if you almost got yourself killed," Piper said, crossing her arms.

"I was doing fine until you came in and blew the dude up, Mom. So that was your fault," Chris said, raising his eyebrows.

"Oh, is that right?" Piper asked, also raising her eyebrows. When Chris nodded, she continued. "Well, I got a news flash for you. You're grounded."

"Piper -" Leo started.

"Leo, I am tired of his 'me me me' attitude," Piper said, facing him. "He thinks the world revolves around him!"

"That's so not true!" Chris yelled.

"I think we should go," Past Piper whispered to Wyatt and Past Leo. The two nodded and they quickly walked out of the room.

"You just hate the fact that I'm growing up!" Chris yelled. "Well, guess what?! I didn't ask to be the youngest! I was stuck with that role!"

"Christopher Perry Halliwell, don't speak to me in that tone of voice!" Piper yelled back.

"That's it! I can't take this family anymore! I'm leaving!" Chris yelled, storming out of the room and down the stairs, Piper and Leo running after him.

Leo ran in front of his son. "Chris, you can't go out there."

"Watch me," Chris said, walking over to the door.

"Chris, they'll kill you!" Wyatt yelled, running over.

Chris scoffed. "Yeah. Right. Who's the one with the powers?" he said, opening the door and walking out.

"You guys stay here," Leo told Piper, Past Piper, Past Leo, and Wyatt. He ran out the door and grabbed Chris's arm. "Chris, get back in the house."

"No," Chris said, pushing Leo away and walking down on the sidewalk.

Leo followed him. "Please, Chris."

Chris faced him. "Why should I?"

"Because you are my son, Chris. And I'm not going to lose you to the witch trials," Leo said, getting teary eyed.

A woman on the other side of the street screamed. "Christopher Halliwell! Leo Wyatt! Help! Help!" she yelled, causing other people to look over at Chris and Leo, starting to scream as well.

"Shut up!" Chris yelled, telekinetically throwing one of them backwards.

"Chris!" Leo yelled, grabbing his wrist.

"What?!" Chris yelled, facing him. He pulled away from Leo. "Just leave me alone!"

"Chris, we can talk about whatever is bothering you. Just, please, get back in the house before we're both killed," Leo said, grabbing his arm again, but this time harder.

"Fine," Chris said in defeat, Leo orbing both of them to the living room as the witch sirens went on.

Leo forced Chris to sit down on the couch and turned to the other four. "Out. Now."

"Leo -" Piper started.

"Piper, you were the one who started this! You're the one who caused our son to go outside, not caring if he got killed!" Leo yelled. "So get your ass out of my sight right now!"

"Leo -" Piper started again, getting teary eyed.

"No! I'm not losing him again, Piper! I'm just not! And, because of you, I almost did!" Leo yelled, also getting teary eyed.

"We were so close, too," Past Piper said to Past Leo, sighing.

Past Leo nodded. "And now we're back to square one. Actually, square negative one. Trust me, he's more mad at her than he was when they first came to us," he said, walking out with her and Wyatt, Piper following slowly, hugging herself.

Leo turned back to Chris. "So let's talk. Before you go do something stupid like that again," he said, sitting down next to Chris.

Chris was frowning, staring down at the ground, staying silent.

"Chris, tell me what's wrong. Talk to me. Please. I'm you father. You should be able to talk to me about anything," Leo said, placing a hand on Chris's shoulder.

"I met someone," Chris said, getting teary eyed. "I was in love. I really was."

"What happened?" Leo asked, getting upset for his son.

Chris looked at him. "I walked into my room, and there was a piece of paper on my nightstand. So I picked it up and read it. It was a note from her sister. It said that Pratt got to her. And killed her. Burned her alive," he said as tears started to stream down his face. "It's not fair. It's just not fair. She had just found out that she was a witch a month ago, Dad. It's not fair."

Leo didn't know what to say, so he just wrapped his arms around Chris tightly and held him close. As Chris started sobbing, Leo stroked his hair and rubbed his back.

O.O.O.O.O
