Claim: Drew Fuller is HOT!
Reminder: Piper felt herself becoming red in the face. This was just great, the shrink thought they were crazy. Just what she needed, the shrink just watched them calmly. What was he looking at?
Chris wandered around the house gazing at a familiar photograph of the sisters sitting together smiling. That was before Gideon had appeared on the scene, before the sisters discovered his identity, he had volunteered to take it, being a perfectionist at making the girls look happy it had taken a while, especially after the groaning and complaining he had received. He glared at the picture wishing he could at least pick it up, he concentrated on the sisters smiling, the frame on the wall began to shake, barely but still Chris was certain it was moving. He squinted his eyes and wished the picture to move. It shook madly then fell to the floor, Chris heard a crash. He looked down and saw the broken frame on the floor.
"Oops," he muttered.
This was it, it was how he was going to talk to the girls how he was going to finally communicate and tell them how much he missed them.
Clarence was no where to be seen, he had disappeared after the girls had left for the shrink, the shrink. He sneered at the thought, all they were there were was to prod and pry. Then eventually tell you a huge bill, that was going to make you feel so much better!
At least he had powers, sorta. There were the same as his usual ones, telekinesis, he decided to try and move something unbreakable, he walked into the living room. A book lay on the sofa, a book, that's not breakable! He decided, he concentrated on the sisters, even Leo, anyone that would make him move something. Gideon, that made him feel so angry he could feel magic crackling at his fingertips, he was the one who killed him, betrayed everyone. Dragged him away from the people he loved he shut his eyes, clenching his fists he thought of all the lies, and the pain he had caused, if Gideon hadn't tried to kill Wyatt in the past, before Chris had changed it, then his world wouldn't have been such the living hell it was. If only everyone knew the agony Gideon's actions had caused in the future, the destruction of nearly all magic. The book shook viciously and shot out of the window.
Chris raced over to the window and glanced out on to the street the book flew through the house across the roads window.
"Oh no!" He whimpered, he ducked as the owner glared out of the window shouting. He knew the person wouldn't see him it was just reaction he supposed, the book after all was only a paperback nothing heavy.
He looked around the room, this wouldn't look good to the sisters, there was broken glass a broken picture frame and they were missing a book… Even if they couldn't see him he knew he was in trouble, especially off Clarence.
Piper glared at the shrink as he explained that using lies to cover up the painful truth was just prolonging their grief, Phoebe nodded absolutely enthralled by what the man was churning out. Paige softly kicking Wyatt's pram rhythmically she yawned openly as the shrink started to explain how terrible death was and how it could affect people's perspectives on lives. This was becoming desperate, they had been here an hour and he had done more talking, it was a change she must admit, but then he paused and asked calmly.
"Were you very close to your son?" Directing at Piper, who eyelids had begun to droop ever so slightly, she got a shock at being addressed so suddenly.
"Yes of course I was close, he was my son I loved him!" She snapped.
"From what Phoebe has told me you weren't very close when he first came back from… where he had been."
"It was like I hardly knew him." Piper growled staring at Phoebe icily.
Phoebe glanced at Paige desperate to avoid Piper's gaze.
"If looks could kill." She muttered to herself.
"Well what drew you closer to him Piper?"
"When he told me he was my son, no wait Paige and Phoebe told me."
"You didn't know?"
Piper noticed her fatal mistake.
Piper groaned and wove her hand in the shrinks face he stopped mid-frown.
"Phoebe!" Piper snapped.
Phoebe jumped from shock.
Then she glanced at the shrink and realised what had happened.
"You froze the shrink? I'm paying by the hour here on my salary Piper!"
"Have you talked to the shrink before this meeting?" Piper asked ignoring the question.
Phoebe shifted uneasily in her sit.
"So…?" Piper prompted her sister.
"It was Elise ok! I went to work yesterday and he was there in my office!"
"What did you tell him?" Paige asked curious.
"Just you know stuff…"
"You told him he was dead," Piper snarled.
"Yes… and that he had issues, you know with his dad."
"And…"
"And that you booted him off to a orphanage in Idaho when he was 6 months old… that's why you didn't know and he came back to help."
"PHOEBE!" Piper screamed.
"What else was I going to say?"
"Oh I don't know try nothing!" Piper replied sarcastically.
Paige looked at her sister in awe.
"You are so busted!" she smirked as Piper lunged at her.
Through sheer instinct Phoebe screamed for their whitelighter,
"CHRIS!" She hollered.
Piper flinched, she sat back in her seat and at instinct they all waited expectantly for him to appear but he didn't. He wasn't there listening anymore. Paige watched the ceiling and glanced at her sisters who were both mimicking her, 5 days since he had died and they all acted like he would still orb in at any given second to take them demon hunting. The shrink unfroze and looked in mere amazement as the girls sat staring expectantly at the ceiling.
"Piper?" He asked waiting for an answer to his question.
Each sister jerked simultaneously looked at him.
"Listen uh… we have to go!" Piper smiled and the sisters followed her quickly out of the door.
"Yeah thanks for your help!" Phoebe waved as they left.
The shrink glanced at the clock, wow time sure did fly!
Clarence materialised as Chris sat on the stairs trying to control his new power, after the book incident things started constantly moving in the house, he had powers but he couldn't handle them.
Clarence looked at him disdainfully.
"I leave you for 2 hours and you make a mess!" He clicked his tongue.
"Sorry, hey you never told me I had powers!"
"Well most ghosts do, but most move on before they discover that!" Clarence sighed.
"Look, it's not my fault after all I've been through you could give me a break!"
"You were meant to move on, better than most I assumed, you should have accepted the sacrifices in what you came here to do Chris!"
Chris felt anger bubbling inside of him. The picture frames surrounding him hanging neatly on the wall crashed to the floor.
"I forgot to tell you because things like this would happen, you have unlocked your powers no time to put them back in the box now. You can't control them!"
"I can I just need practise!"
"Practise?" Clarence raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah," Chris sounded as unsure as he felt.
What would the sisters do? They would think someone had broken in.
Great he was just adding to their pain, he felt worse now, a flower pot exploded on a table below him.
"You need to learn to control your emotions then your powers might work better." Clarence suggested.
"Shut up." Chris snarled and another flower pot exploded.
"Andy Trudeau!" Sheridan tossed a file on Morris' desk. "Know him?"
"He was my partner, 5 years ago, almost 6." Morris answered coldly.
"Where is he now?" She asked.
"Not here," Morris shied from the truth.
"He's DEAD!" Sheridan snapped.
Morris remained silent.
"Died at the Haliwell manor, so did their sister Prue Haliwell, involved with Trudeau I believe then Chris, could it a cycle, could the murderer strike again?"
"What do you mean?" Morris asked blatantly confused.
"I mean Lieutenant that these three people all died in the manor at the same time of year in spaced intervals, "
"What are you saying?" Morris clearly lost now.
"I am saying, three people died over the past 6 years and what has anyone got to show for it? Nothing! Each case dropped, Trudeau wasn't even investigated, he just vanished off the face of the earth. Haliwell, she had an investigation then the inspector mysteriously quit the case and it was discarded. Perry, the case wasn't taken up until now, theses sisters are killing these people and finding away around the law, I am going to stop them from killing again Morris."
Daryl sat in amazement, this was insane, she was suspecting them of killing people when they saved lives everyday. Even if it had almost cost his own.
"What surprises me most about Chris, he has no records whatsoever, he appeared at the end of last year and disappeared around the same time this year, no birth certificates, records of health, nada. Why is that?" She leaned over the desk glaring at her partner.
"I don't know he just appeared out of no where." Daryl replied nervously.
"Well we are going to find out where my friend." She said jangling her keys in front of him.
Barbas watched as the Seer leaned over the scrying pool.
"Hurry up woman!" He groaned.
"Patience, finding weaknesses in people like the Charmed ones is harder than you thought,"
"I know their fears just how will I succeed if I attack now?"
The Seer gazed into the pool then jolted as she breathed heavily, she was receiving a premonition. "You will fail."
