This Changes Everything

Summary:

It's the new future where things are better. Wyatt isn't evil. The Charmed Ones aren't dead. Magic isn't exposed to the world. Things are all fine and dandy, right? Wrong. At least for fourteen-year old Chris Halliwell. Wyatt is being pampered like a little prince while Chris stands in the backround. It's all about Wyatt. And then there is always being compared to the "Great Chris" who had changed the future for the better. What happens when all of this along with a few new things pushes Chris over the edge?

Disclaimer: Charmed is not mine. It belongs to a whole bunch of people with a lot of money who I don't feel like naming.

A/N: Sorry for spelling and grammar errors. I'm not the best at English. Title will most likely change....

Shina: Thanks for the review. Yeah, poor Chris. I think that out of any of his family members, it would be Paige who spend the most time with him. I hope that you keep on reading.

krissygirl: Thanks for the review. And don't worry, they do realize how great he is......

Alexandra-Halliwell: Good questions. Okay, see I think that the Leo and Piper are going to pay more attention to Wyatt because of all the powers that he has. Remember the episode with the Wiccaning? Wyatt had night terrors and had an evil Leo come alive. That shows how powerful he is. Both Leo and Piper don't want Wyatt to turn evil because of his powers, so I think that they'll favor him more. And as for Chris not telling his parents about his powers, he's spend fourteen years not being loved the way that he should. He thinks that even if his parents find out about his powers, that they'll still love Wyatt more. And don't worry, they will find out about Chris' powers, though not in the way that you might like.....

Chapter 4

Two sets of blue orbs appeared in the kitchen of the manor. Paige and Chris were laughing heartily.

"So did you like it Chris?"Paige asked.

Chris nodded, his eyes full of joy. "It was so much fun!"he exclaimed. "Those kids were so into what I was saying. Who knew that teaching and helping kids was a blast?"

Paige grinned. "See, I told you. You should listen to your aunt more often."

"Why should he listen to you more often?"Piper asked, entering the kitchen. She fixed her youngest son a mad glare.

Paige groaned inwardly. "He didn't want to teach the Beginners' Class but after he loved it."

Piper smiled. "Well good for you Chris."

Just then, both Wyatt and Leo orbed in. They were laughing loudly. "And then he." The two burst into laughter again.

"What's so funny?"Paige asked with a frown.

Wyatt calmed down. "Well we were 'Up There,'"he explained,"when one Elder complained on and on how much he hated the robes. I asked him why he wouldn't wear normal clothes. He got really mad and walked off."

Piper laughed even though there was nothing funny about the joke. She grinned. "Well you put the Elders in their places. Good job." She ruffled Wyatt's hair before walking out of the kitchen.

"Well Chris had a great day too,"Paige said. "He taught the Beginners' Class today."

Leo barely looked at Chris. "Good job. Come on Wyatt, lets go put this upstairs." He left with Wyatt.

Paige shook her head. "Sorry for that Chris,"she said.

Chris smiled weakly. "It's alright."

Paige shook her head again. She patted Chris on the head and left the kitchen. Chris didn't hear, but she whispered to herself,"They're going to make him do something rash."

Chris came home from a really gruesome soccer practice. He walked inside after Cindy had dropped him off. All that he really wanted right now was a nice, hot shower.

But that didn't seem like it wasn't going to happen.

"Hey Chris,"Piper said. "We're going vanquishing in fifteen minutes. You better hurry up."

"But Mom,"Chris whined,"I want to take a shower."

Piper wouldn't hear of it. She shook her head quickly. "You will go vanquishing with us. And besides, you will probably get dirty."

Chris crossed his arms. "Fine,"he grumbled. Chris turned and walked up the stairs.

Wyatt was in their room, looking at himself in a mirror. "I have a date with Julia,"he said, not even looking at Chris.

Chris was a bit peeved at this. "I don't want to go vanquishing,"he groaned.

Wyatt looked at his brother as if he were crazy. "Are you kidding?"he asked. "I love to go!"

Chris knew the reason why. Wyatt always got to take Excalibur with him. Most of the time, it was just him who vanquished demons. Chris didn't like the sword. One time, he had gotten so entranced with the ancient sword that he wanted to kill Wyatt for it. After that moment, he didn't want it.

"Well,"Wyatt said,"I must go. See you." He orbed out of the room.

Chris dropped his soccer bag on the floor and walked towards the bathroom. No matter what his mother said, he was going to skive it off just this once.

Twenty minutes later, Chris walked out of the bathroom shaking his wet hair. He walked downstairs, expecting to see an angry mom.

But there wasn't one. She wasn't in the kitchen, the living room, any of the rooms, or the attic. Shrugging, Chris orbed downstairs to watch some tv. On the wb at the moment, was a show called I'm Lost in Time. It was about this one boy who traveled to the future only to find out that he was a big factor. For the first season, he spent his time learning about what he did and trying to get back to the future. The second season was spent trying to find a way back because the future was slowly being destroyed without having him back in the past. It was now in the third season where everything was in ruins.

At about nine thirty, Wyatt orbed into the house. He looked around. "Where are Mom and the Aunts?"he asked.

Chris shrugged. "I went to take a shower and they weren't here."

"Why don't we go check?"Wyatt asked.

"Sure."

The two brothers found the Charmed Ones in the attic, making a potion. "Hi Mom,"Wyatt said cheerfully.

Piper, Paige, and Phoebe looked up. "Hi Wyatt!"they exclaimed at the same time. They didn't even acknowledge Chris.

Chris frowned. This was extremely odd. Paige would've said something at least. "How was the vanquishing?"he asked.

Piper looked up as if she noticed her son for the first time. "Yes we did,"she said.

"We vanquished those demons!"Phoebe chirped cheerfully.

"Yeah!"Paige added somewhat stupidly.

"Can I help?"Wyatt asked. "What are you making?"

"Sure. And we're making a potion to kill this other demon,"Phoebe said happily. She added some demon's blood to the potion.

"What a second,"Chris muttered very quietly to himself,"you don't add demon's blood in too many vanquishing potions." Another wrong ingredient was added. And another. And another. Chris finally realized what the potion was for. It was to make someone evil!

Chris looked at the Charmed Ones' auoras. They were all red. So that meant that they were demons.

"Get away from them Wyatt,"Chris said sharply.

Wyatt looked up and smiled. "Why?"he asked.

"Because that isn't them,"Chris replied.

"Don't be silly,"Piper said, smiling sweetly at her son.

"That potion isn't for vanquishing a demon,"Chris said. "Demon's blood isn't used in too many vanquishing potion. Mix that with bullroot, lilies, and ginger, you get a potion that makes a person turn evil. So Wyatt, step away."

Wyatt looked between the two groups with uncertainty.

Chris sighed. "If you are really Paige, a Charmed One, then call the Book of Shadows into your arms."

"Fine." Paige waved her hand, causing Wyatt to slump to the ground.

The three demons acting as the Charmed Ones transformed back to normal. They were completely black demons except for a few red streaks across their faces. "So you figured us out you little brat,"spat out one demon.

"How?"hissed another.

Chris shrugged. "Simple,"he responded,"you don't act like the Charmed Ones."

"Of course we did,"the third demon said. "Your family doesn't love you. Nobody cares about you. You're nothing because you have no powers. Wyatt is everything."

Chris laughed. "That's not true,"he retorted.

The demon smiled. It was true, and the little brat was going to learn things the hard way.

"I think that we should kill him. Don't you agree Herbsen?"asked the first demon.

The third demon nodded. "Excellent idea Harbson,"he agreed. "What say you Hurbsan?"

The second demon grinned. "This should be fun,"he said maliciously.

Seeing as how the demons were going to die, Chris decided that it didn't matter if he used one of his numerous powers. Waiting until they got really close, he flung his hands towards them, sending a large electrical current at them. Chris' fingers tingled whenever this happened. It was a rather nice feeling.

In a few minutes, the three demons were a pile of thick ashes on the ground.

Chris looked at his brother and orbed downstairs. He filled up a glass of water and then orbed back to the attic. Chris then threw the water on Wyatt.

Wyatt immediately bolted up. He looked around. "What happened?"he asked.

"The demons kidnapped Mom and the Aunts,"Chris replied. "They were trying to make you evil."

"Where are they?"Wyatt asked.

"I vanquished them,"Chris replied simply. "We're going to have to go to the Underworld."

"Alright," Chris agreed standing up. "Let's go."

The two brothers disappeared in a flash of flames.
