ÿþA NEW WAVE OF HOPE Chapter 1 year 2004 Chris felt himself geting weak. Very, very fast as the poison from Gideon's athame went through his system. He knew this must be the end for him. He felt his father Leo beside him brushing the hair that had fallen in his face back. Wile whispering "hold on. Just hold on ok? Everything will be alright now. I'm here now." Chris could hear his aunt Paige crying softly from the doorway. He wondered if he had done what he had come to the past to do. Had he really changed the future and saved his brother and his family? As soon as that thought had pass through his mind he fell unconscious and faded. Leo cryed even harder on the lost of his neurotic son. All Leo could think was 'I failed him.' Over and over again while asking himself 'why did I have to lose him like that.' Chris on the other hand was whatching all this. He whispered "I'm so sorry guys" and "I love you dad." Before he felt a tug on his soul. Year 2024 Chris woke up in a very different bed then his mother's bed. He felt like someone had just stabbed him twice. But when he look down at where he had been stabbed there was no hole. He was also wearing a t-shirt and boxers. He could hear voices outside the room. It sounded like his mother Piper, his father Leo and his older brother Wyatt. it sound exactly like they were standing right front of the door. Outside in the small hallway Piper, Leo and Wyatt stood talking. "Don't worry mom I'm sure it's just the flu." Wyatt said to his mother "yeah I'm sure it's not too big of a deal." Leo said to his wife chiaming in. He was about say something else when they heard the familiar jingle. "Go on they are calling you for something." Said Piper Leo nodded and orbed out. "Well I'll just go look in on him one last time Before I go to the club. Said Piper as she was turning the handle. "yeah I better get back to Magic School before aunt Paige notices I've gone long then I said I would be and has a cow." Said Wyatt before he orbed out. Piper Sighed as she opened the door and walked into the room. "Mom What are you doing here?" Chris asked Piper wondering where he was and was he dead? Also had she died and was welcoming him to the other side. If not what year was it? Had he made it back to the future? Piper laughed lightly "yeah yeah I know I know you don't need your dear old mother here every ten minutes worrying but I am your mother." She said as she put the back of her hand on his cheek. He just shared into space. Just so shocked. At Magic School Wyatt ran through the halls to his classroom. As he stop at the door to catch his breath. He noticed the young man who sat behind his big desk in front of the room had got up ran to Wyatt. "Wyatt are you ok? How is Chris doing?" Mathew asked at a fast speed. "whoa there slow down there Matt." Wyatt pantted way out of breath. AS he traded places with his brother and adjusted his robes. Wyatt could hear giggles and wispering come from the back of the room. "Miss Smith and Miss McCaallister do you have something you would like to share with the class?" Rose Smith and Holly McCaallister looked up at their teacher "no I don't think so Mr. Halliwell." "Well then I suggest you start reading the Chapter I asined the class and stop all that giggleing and wispering." said Wyatt with a Sturn Voice. Rose and Holly started reading the Chapter on poisons of all kinds. Wyatt look over his brother's paper. "This is really good work on the good magic bad magic. Aunt Paige and the family will be so proud of you."
