Reminder: Ok, because it is chappie 9 I'll review the whole story to keep everyone up to date. Ok well Phoebe had a premonition on Piper getting hurt and Chris getting kidnapped. And it happens, then it turns out, it happens. The demons use Chris as a host for one of the Princes of Darkness which he is the last of, so after Chris' Darkest Hour he will have complete dominion over Chris body and the Princes will join and complete the circle and plunge the earth into eternal darkness end of the world yadda yadda yadda. Now Mastiphal is egging Chris on to kill his father as his last duty in control of his own body before his darkest hour. Leo is getting the crap beaten out of him and the girls race to stop Mastiphal before they run out of time.
And the biggest question will Chris stab Leo or not???
Piper looked at Paige her grabbed her chest quickly, "I think I felt Leo?" She answered the unasked question as Piper hurried towards her.
"Huh, how? That's not your power!" Piper sounded concerned.
"I don't know there was just a sharp pain in my stomach…" Paige moved her clenched hands away from her chest.
Phoebe orbed
"What is it?" Piper asked angrily.
"Nothing just an update, the Shaman is dead" Phoebe swung her arms at her side.
"Oh… that's bad." Piper replied distractedly.
"Well, how are we going to you know get more information?" Paige replied cautiously taking a seat, rubbing her chest, they had to help Leo!
"Well, I do not know… it was Chris…" Phoebe sighed her arms stopped at her sides.
"Wait… Chris is there, at the Magic School!" Piper sounded more alarmed.
"No, he left. " Phoebe replied. It was time to tell them her quick premonition she received off Chris across the fire, "Guys… I was at the Shaman's earlier today… and I saw Chris' future."
"Yeah…" Paige encouraged, maybe it would help.
"I saw… why he hates Leo."
Piper turned her back to her sister, she knew it wouldn't be good news, she could tell. Did she want to know? Phoebe sat down on the rug in the middle of the attic calmly and started.
"The reason Chris hates Leo is because… he was never there for him, I saw your funeral Piper, Leo was ignoring him. He was with this blonde guy. Chris orbed away, then sat alone in the manor on the stairs and he was crying looking at a photograph of us, Leo just orbed in and just walked straight past him, he didn't even comfort him."
Piper felt the reality of her death cut through her. She died and Leo didn't comfort her son. It hurt her to imagine it.
"Then Chris was with the blonde guy again… they fought, the blonde guy tried to strangle Chris with his powers and Chris just let him, he didn't want to fight him, then the blonde guy left him to rot in an alley by the Golden Gate Bridge I forget what the sign said…"
"Phoebe, the blonde guy…" Paige attempted to explain the blonde guy who tried to kill Chris, was his brother. She choked, she couldn't do it.
Piper dropped the picture she had been holding of her two sons, Chris, Leo? In the future she died, was Leo really a bad parent? He was brilliant with Wyatt. Was that why Chris was so angry with him.
Phoebe watched her older sister uneasily.
Suddenly the crystal Piper had left lying on the map shook and twisted pointing to a street near the Golden Gate Bridge.
"I got a location…" Piper sighed swinging round and glancing at the map avoiding her younger sister's piercing look. Paige waited as Piper grabbed the vanquishing potions for Mastiphal that they had failed to use before.
"Why do you need them?" Paige asked as Piper tossed a vial at her.
"Because… we need to vanquish Mastiphal." Piper answered gritting her teeth still staring at the map.
"What if we accidentally vanquish Chris?" Phoebe asked still unsure about Piper's behaviour.
Piper didn't answer.
Paige decided to tell Phoebe the truth, she leaned over and picked up the picture and handed it to Phoebe quickly.
"That's the guy!" Phoebe cried excitedly, "Wait why is he with Chris? Like that?" Phoebe asked puzzled.
"That, is Chris' picture," Paige explained carefully, "The blonde guy that tried to kill Chris is in that picture too."
"Yeah I see that…" Phoebe wasn't cottoning on at all, Paige felt so apprehensive about saying it out loud.
"Phoebe that's Wyatt!" She hissed quickly.
Phoebe's jaw dropped.
Chris stood over his father, who lay in a helpless heap on the floor, he stared at him his eyes filled with venom.
Leo kept muttering to himself, "It's not Chris, it's Mastiphal, this isn't your son…"
Chris felt his rage boil up inside of him, his hand gripped the knife tightly, he could feel the shape of it imprinting into onto his fist.
"DO IT!" Mastiphal screamed inside of Chris' head.
"Chris please…" Leo whimpered softly.
Paige and her sisters orbed in behind them, Chris heard them behind her, through instinct he swung round and hurled it at the Paige who orbed out of the way. The athame clattered to the floor.
Phoebe dove towards the athame and tried to grab it, but Chris used his telekinesis and it shot into his hands, "Waste no more time, do it!" Mastiphal screamed, Chris clutched his head. He felt the anger flood back and he turned slowly and walked over to his father hauling the broken man to his feet dropping the athame.
"Dad, I'm sorry…" He whispered.
"For what?" Leo croaked.
The athame flew back into Chris' hand and he plunged it into his father's stomach.
"For that…" He dropped his father to the floor and orbed away.
The sisters stood gaping at Leo who lay on the floor breathing heavily, then the wound glowed and it began to heal.
Piper raced towards her husband, "Oh my god!" She cried as the wound disappeared.
"It wasn't Chris," Leo said quickly as he scrambled to his feet.
"Well, who was is it Leo? He sounded like Chris, he called you dad!" Piper placed her hands firmly on her hips.
"It was Mastiphal I know it was…" Leo stared at the athame lying on the floor which Chris had used to stab him.
Phoebe raced over, "You guys we need to get Mastiphal's soul out of the body before midnight or…"
"Or it's the end of the world." Paige finished.
"Ok, well you two can write a spell for that can't you?" Piper asked.
"Yeah, maybe we should we use that potion, you know the one separates souls from bodies." Phoebe asked.
"I'm not sure that'll work, Mastiphal could block it." Paige shook her head.
"Well, it's all we got. Phoebe you get the spell, Paige work on the potion. I am going to make a better vanquishing spell for Mastiphal and Leo, don't take Chris' attitude too personally ok…" She knew Chris hated him so did he, she just didn't want to talk about it. Leo just looked at her with those sad eyes he used at Prue's funeral, the incident had stung him. But Piper wished he could pull it together soon so he could save their son. Maybe he would get through to him, she glanced at his broken form, then again she wasn't going to put him in any more danger.
Paige took her sisters arm and said slowly, "Hey you guys me and Phoebe will see you back at the manor." Paige orbed away with Phoebe waving.
Leo took Piper's hand shakily.
For no apparent reason she squeezed his hand gently and whispered softly in his ear, "We are going to get through this." She saw his face crease into a slight grin at her words. She knew why she did it, she hated seeing her ex husband like this. It was too complicated between them, it made her head sting, she loved him, he was the father of her sons… why was she still blocking him out? Did she block Chris out in the future? Was everyone she loved going to be blocked out in her life?
No she wouldn't let it… she had been pretty rough on her son since he had came from the future until she had learned the truth about him… was she a good mother? Leo squeezed her hand quietly, and they orbed to the manor in silence as Piper thought about what her future would hold for her and her family.
Chris stood on top of Golden Gate bridge, he had once again relinquished control to Mastiphal who was still buzzing from Chris stabbing his father, he couldn't get over it. Chris was more solemn, he really hated his dad. But… why put him through so much pain? Chris knew he had deserved every bit but, it wasn't him. Leo didn't know what he had done, Chris had given him an idea but Leo was still baffled by his sons behaviour towards him.
Mastiphal looked at Chris' cracked old watch that was covered in sticky blood and silt from the caves, it was 10pm. 2 more hours and he could control this body, the Charmed ones wouldn't have power over him then. He knew they were going to try and save their nephew, son what ever Chris was, but it was too late. He Chris was losing his strength and power over the body every second. It was just a matter of time till he would be at full strength, then he would kill the Charmed ones one by one, starting with his dear mother.
