Chapter 6
Chris came out of his room. "As i said. I am going to cook some things for us as a thank you that i could sleep here and then i will be gone." He said.
Victor looked at him...it was hard for him to act as if there was never this talk between Chris and him. "You don't think that you still owe me an explanation?!" Victor asked.
"Sorry! You will maybe learn sometime in the future!" Chris said and started to make a delicious breakfast, as he had learned from his mother.
"Maybe!" Victor only answered.
They both ate calmly and then Chris said goodbye and left. Although he still didn't know what to do.
Victor was sitting in his apartment for a while. Thinking what he could do to help Chris and his daughters. Then he made a decision and left the apartment and drove with the car to the Halliwell manor.
Piper was just making breakfast and Paige drunk her first coffee this morning - still in her pyjama. Phoebe was already awake for a few hours...she couldn't really sleep well the night before and was just sitting in the living room with Melinda. They talked about magic and the live being a witch and Melinda told a few stories about her childhood.
Then the door rang. Phoebe stood up. "I am going!" She called.
She went to the door and opened it. There stood her dad. "Dad! What a surprise: Did i miss something?" Phoebe asked surprised and hugged him.
"Is a father not allowed to visit his daughters sometimes?" Victor asked smiling and entered the manor.
Paige, Piper and Melinda came out of the kitchen and the living room after they heard Phoebes outburst.
"Dad!" Piper said also surprised and hugged him. Paige also smiled. "Hi!" "Hi Paige!" Victor said. And then he noticed Melinda. Chris has told him everything about Melinda, but if he hadn't know he would never have thought that she was a demon...well actually he hadn't much contact with demons, but nevertheless...and she was Pipers daughter.
"I see you have a visitor already!" Victor said. "Oh...that is Melinda, she is witch. Melinda, Victor, our dad...Victor, Melinda." Phoebe introduced.
"Hello, nice to meet you!" Victor said.
"Hello, nice to meet you too....are you a witch too?" Melinda asked.
"Well, actually no." Victor answered. "But i know a few things about it." He said and gave her a strange look. "Ok." Melinda said and turned away.
"So you just came by, to say hello?" Piper asked. "It doesn't mean that we don't want you here..it's just a little bit hectic here. And not really save." Piper said.
"Not save? Isn't Leo here... to heal you all?" Victor asked... he tried to act as normal as he could. He needed to talk with the sisters...alone.
"Yes...actually he isn't our whitelighter anymore, and our whitelighter ..." Piper started.
"We need a new one." Phoebe just said and tried to change the subject.
"Wanna have a breakfast?" Piper offered.
"No. I actually had already a very good breakfast. I have to say: it can be compared with you cooking skills." Victor answered.
"Should i be mad?" Piper asked laughing.
"So still the question if you have something special to tell us...because if not. I have to go to work...sorry" Paige said and pointed at her clothes - still in pyjama.
"Yes. I really have to tell you something...but i actually need to talk to you in private. Sorry." Victor said seriously and added his last comment at Melinda.
"Oh. No problem. I actually really need to get a walk." Melinda immediately said and wanted to go out. "It's cold. Take my jacket. It's the black one....We really need to buy some stuff for you!" Piper said. Melinda grabbed it, said goodbye and went out. She searched for a place where anybody could see her and shimmered out into the underworld.
"I actually don't have much time, dad. So you would do me a favor and make it short." Phoebe said.
"Maybe we should sit down first!" Victor said.
"Ohoh...that doesn't sound good. You haven't married a demon again, have you?" Piper asked.
"Very funny. No!" Victor said and the four sat down in the living room.
"I actually wanted to talk to you about...Chris!" Victor said.
"Chris? How do you know about Chris?" Paige asked surprised. Meanwhile Phoebe got pale.
"I don't think Chris is a good subject now...He is evil!" Phoebe said and wanted to stand up. But Victor grabbed her arm.
"Listen first." He begged. And she sighted. "Ok. But make it quick!" she said a little bit mad.
"Well. He actually came to me, yesterday. And he was very sad." Victor started.
"Oh my god. Are you ok?" Phoebe asked concerned.
"Yes! I am ok, but he wasn't!" Victor said a little bit angry.
"Well he deserves it!" Phoebe said angrily.
"No! And especially you shouldn't be so mad at him. You know who he is!" Victor said.
"You know?" Paige and Piper asked surprised.
"He told you?! Dad...you shouldn't trust him. He ... you haven't seen what i have seen. He is dangerous!...Stay away from him!" Phoebe said concerned.
"He is dangerous? The only thing i have seen was a broken boy...who was pushed away by... people who should have trusted him." Victor said.
"Wait! Stop ok. What is going on here.... You know who Chris is and didn't told us? And why did he went to dad? I understand anything!" Piper said.
Victor and Phoebe calmed down.
"I don't know what you have seen...but he is good boy. You should at least talk to him." Victor said and stood up.
"And risk that he kills me?" Phoebe asked back and stood up too.
"Try it. Please. And be careful with the girl - Melinda." Victor said.
"Did Chris told you that?" Paige now asked.
"He told me things. But he would never dare to tell you that. It's my tip as your father." Victor said. "I have to go. And i think you all have to go to work...right?"
"Good bye dad!" Piper and Phoebe said. "Good bye!" Paige said.
"We will see us soon! I am sure" Victor said and left the manor.
Chris went through the whole city. Something he hadn't done since...for a few years. Here in the past he hadn't much time for that - he had to proof to his family that he wasn't a threat, he had to protect Wyatt and he had to find the damn demon that turned him.
And in his past, in the future weren't much possibilities to just walk through the city, especially if you are the leader of the Resistance against your own brother, who by the way is the evil leader of the world.
He actually got used to orb to one place...it was faster.
On his way he was able to think a lot, but the most thoughts ended up in sadness and despair. He didn't even know where he could sleep tonight. And then there was his half-sister, who was after him.
Chris actually got tired. He was walking through the city for maybe 10 hours. It actually was getting dark already. He walked to a small park and searched for a place, where he could sit for a while. There was an empty bench and he sat down, to rest for a while. But as he opened his eyes, it was dark already and cold. He must have fallen asleep for a while. "Great!" Chris thought. That wasn't normal for him. In his future he sometimes had to stay awake for a few days. "Focus! You have to find a way to get out of this mess." Chris thought. He already began to regret that he left his grandpa so early, but now it would be silly to return to him.
