Chapter 3: The Letter
The letter read:
Dear Ruthie,
I know this seems very odd but I felt that you should know about a family secret. Our family is a from a long line of witches. You mom and aunts are known as the Charmed ones. They at one time and still are 3 powerful sisters who singel handedly destroyed all evil.
In case your wondering, my name is Chris. I am actually from a diffent time line. I'm your brother from the future. I went back in time to save Wyatt from turning evil. Now, you can say it's kind of my fault Dad, at one point, wasn't around a lot. When I went back, I kind of caused him to get the "New Job" but he soon gave that up.
Anyways, after a year of demon hunting and a lot of secrets revealed, I finally found out who turned Wyatt. While waiting for the potion to vanguish him to be ready, he escaped and tried to kill me. Needless to say, he succeeded.
Then, when I got up to heaven, I pulled a few strings. I gave a gift to mom. One that she had wanted since she was about your age. I gave her you. In return, she named you after a girl that I once loved. I know this all sounds odd, and personally, I wouldn't blame you for not beliveing all of this. I just thought you should know.
Blessed be,
Christopher
Halliwell
Ruthie finshed reading the letter and put it back in the envelope and got changed. She stuck the letter in her back pocket and ask her mom about it later. After a wonderful dinner and some excellent cake, Ruth opened her presents. She got some cloths, some books that she had wanted to read. Her aunts gave her some money. Piper and Leo promised to take her shopping. After all the presents were opened, Ruthie and her friends went to watch some movies. Leo, Scott, Piper, and her sisters went into the kitchen to talk. After about an hour, Ruthie remembered about the letter in her pocket. She got up and went into the kitchen to ask her mom about it. Ruthie pulled the letter out right before she walked in. The adults were talking about Paige's engagement and Phoebe's pregnancy.
"Mom…" Ruthie began. Suddently all convresation stopped and all eyes were on her. Ruthie handed her mom the letter. "I think Chris and Wyatt have gone off the deep end. I found this on my bed when I went to change my cloths."
Piper took the letter from Ruthie and began reading it. Her eyes widened as she read it. When she finished, she handed the letter to Paige, Phoebe, and Leo.
"Ruthie, it's nothing really. I'll have your dad talk to them later, ok?"
"Ok mom."
"Ok, now go back in there and finish watching your movies." With that Ruthie went back into the living room to finish watching the movie.
"Do you think this is really from Chris or just a fake?" Phoebe asked as she finished reading the letter.
"I have a feeling it's real and that what scares me." Piper answered.
"You know, maybe it's time we did tell them." Paige said.
"I don't know about that. I just want them to have a normal life. As far as who wrote that letter. I'm going to find out who wrote it. I'm off to the attic if anybody would like to join me." With that, everybody was off to the attic to get to the bottom of this.
Soon, all the adults were in the attic and Paige had set out and lit all the candels. Piper read the spell to summon Chris' spirit.. With a swril of lights, Chris appeared.
"Hey." Chris said smiling.
"Don't give me a 'hey' mister. You have some explaining to do." Piper said angerly.
"I figured that much. It's about the letter, isn't it."
"Yes. Why did you send it?" Leo asked.
"The people 'Up There' told me to." Chris replied.
"Why?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't know actually. I've just learned not to ask questions." Chris anwsered.
While the adults tried to figure out a reason, Ruthie had been listening the whole time. She had cracked the door open just enough for her to see what was going on without being noticed. Soon, Ruthie lost be balanced and the door opened all the way and she crashed into the floor. Everybody turned their attention to making sure she was ok.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say she's just like me." Chris said sarcasticly.
Leo just looked at him and laughed. "Always snooping around." Leo added.
