Chapter 3: Monster in the Closet

A/N: Thanks to those who reviewed! You're so nice. If you think I own Charmed then you're crazy. Of course I don't own Charmed! I do own all the characters I invented in the last chapter, though. I'll stop rambling now, here's the new chapter…

Chris walked down the stairs to find his whole family grinning at him. It was quite a sight to take in. There was 15 of them in all including a beautiful baby he assumed must be Paris. His mother approached him and he smiled at the woman he truly hadn't seen in 9 years.

"We still have a lot to do", said Piper, "would you mind babysitting Peyton and Parker while we go to P3 to prepare?"

"I wouldn't mind", said Chris. He was eager to get to know his little cousins.

"Great", said Piper. Piper was confused, but she didn't argue. Chris usually avoided those little devils at all costs. One by one the rest of his family left, leaving Chris alone with the identical little girls. Last to leave was Phoebe.

"I'll help you find Bianca", she whispered before leaving. "

What do you two want to do?" Chris asked the twins.

"We have an idea", said Parker. She and Peyton ran upstairs whispering and giggling. He reached for the phone, deciding to call his aunt Phoebe to ask her how he should go about finding Bianca. When his fingertips touched the phone he was overwhelmed with a vision.

It was a beautiful night with a full moon. Bianca was sitting at their spot. It was the new and improved future, but still it was their spot. She was anxiously waiting for something. A clock struck 10 some where. He saw himself approach Bianca and kiss her passionately

The vision ended as abruptly as it began. He sat down on the couch. He knew where his true love was and when she'd be there. At 10:00 tonight he would see Bianca. He was brought out of his reverie by a piercing scream from upstairs. He ran upstairs to where his cousins were fearing the worst. He stepped in the doorway of his bedroom seeing Peyton and Parker trembling in the corner staring at the closet in fear.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"There's a monster in the closet", Peyton whimpered.

There's a monster in the closet. Those words shot an icy fear through Chris' entire body. He remembered the monster. He remembered all too well. When he was very young there had been a monster in his closet . This monster had been real. It was a demon known as Trepidaton. Luckily the sisters vanquished it, but only after it had nearly eaten him. Fortunately, he still remembered the spell to vanquish it. He faced the closet and chanted with a false confidence,

"Demon who feeds off children's soles,
This spell will blow you full of fiery holes!"

There were millions of splinters of green light and a demonic screeching. In a puff of green smoke, Trepidaton was gone. He embraced his cousins reassuring them that everything was all right. The demon was gone. Just in case, he locked the door of the empty closet. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a glow of blue light. It was a portal. Out stepped the familiar figures of his mother and his aunts Phoebe and Paige. It wasn't the Charmed Ones of this time. They were the Charmed Ones he knew and loved from 2004.

Parker pulled on her mother's skirt, confusion etched on her young face.

"Mommy", she said , "how did you get here so fast ? And how did you get not old anymore?" TBC… READ & REVIEW!
