Chapter 4

Chris went down from the attic and into the living room to look for Alexis when he noticed the front door open. He walked towards it and found her sitting at the front steps of the manor. He approached her and sat beside her.

Alexis was in deep thought that she hadn't even noticed Chris sit beside her. He just looked at her for a brief moment, watched her stare at the dark skies, obviously thinking about something.

"So, finally getting some peace of mind?" Chris asked, breaking the silence.

Alexis glanced at him with a smirk. "Kind of." Chris smiled.

"Listen, I'm sorry for walking out. I just didn't want to talk about that stuff a while ago." Alexis said.

"It's okay. I know you're going through a lot right now... about saving your mom and all that."

"You have no idea how hard it is... knowing that something bad might happen to your mom at any minute..."

Chris shook his head. "Trust me, I do."

Alexis turned to face him. "Can I ask you something?"

Chris looked at her curiously. "Yeah... sure."

"Are Piper and Leo really your parents?"

Chris let out a laugh. "Yeah... why would you ask that?"

"Just wondering... I mean, did they have you when they were fifteen?" Alexis asked jokingly.

Chris laughed slightly. "Of course not... things are just... complicated around here."

Alexis nodded, smiling. "I figured it would be."

"Oh, and by the way, I have an older brother too." Chris added. They both laughed.

They both watched as cars passed by in front of them with a comfortable silence. Alexis thought about her mother, how she promised herself that she would save her, no matter what she'll go through. Chris thought of the person beside her, trying to figure out who she really is and what her secret is.

Chris turned to face her. "So, what's the deal with you?" he asked, finally breaking the silence.

"With me?" Alexis replied, confused.

"Yeah... I mean, I know you're avoiding this but do you really know nothing about this demon who threatens to kill your mother and yourself?"

"Don't you believe me?"

"I did not say that I don't believe you... It's just that I know you're holding back something."

Alexis just stared at him, not knowing what to say. She's somehow been caught in her own game, but she figured she could trust someone else... someone that would understand her. She sighed heavily "Do you really want to know me?"

Chris shrugged. "That's why I asked."

"And do you promise not to tell anyone, especially you parents and everyone else in this house?"

"I promise."

Alexis paused for a while before finally saying, "I know about that demon. I've been looking for her all my life... and finally, I found her."

"Why? Did she do something really big?"

"She killed my mother."

Chris thought for a second. "But I thought you are going to save her?"

"I will... in this time."

"What do you mean in this time?"

Alexis looked away for a brief moment, knowing that she's about to uncover herself to him. "I came back from the future to save my mother and myself from The Temptress." Alexis finally said.

Chris was taken aback by her revelation. "Wow... you really have no idea how much we have in common." He said incredulously.

Alexis raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Chris sighed. "I'm from the future too."

And there was silence again.
