The Mistakes We Make

Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed.

Summary: The new future that Chris had strived to create is now here, except for one thing. The new Chris doesn't know anything about magic. It's all hidden from him, but yet he knows something is going on. When something happens, will the Halliwells regret not letting Chris know about magic?

A/N: Please note that this story has nothing to do with my other one, This Changes Everything. It's completely different. Please forgive me for bad spelling and grammar errors... I hope that you enjoy it!

A/N 2: It's so tough writing Chris in this fic. He's so innocent right now and for the most part of this fic, he will be. But it is really tough not making him like Chris was in the show...

Chapter 4

Close Encounters

Chris walked up to his room and shook his head. He had heard them talking about potions and reading minds. This only made his suspicions grow stronger. If his parents couldn't tell him about magic, Fresmer must be right. His parents are evil.

Chris then shook his head. He had no proof that his parents were evil. All he had was Fresmer's word. Chris trusted Fresmer, but he couldn't believe that his parents were evil. It just didn't seem right.

Chris walked into his room and sat down on his bed. He sighed and decided to work on his shield of wind until dinner.

Chris closed his eyes and called forth for the wind inside of him to come out. When he felt the familiar feeling, he opened his eyes. Sure enough, there was a big shield of wind around him. Now all Chris had to do was test it out. But how to do that?

Chris got an idea and started to send things flying at him with his telekinesis. First it was an eraser, then a book, and then his backpack. With the book and backpack, he could feel his shield faltering. Chris let go of the magic and lay on his bed. Boy was that tiring, he thought to himself.

"Chris! Dinner is ready!


Meanwhile, in the Underworld, Fresmer was extremely pleased. He had snagged the boy Chris with a few choosen words and he didn't even have to use a potion to change his sense of morality! The Halliwell boy had power, great power, and it was wonderful that evil would have his use.

Fresmer was confused though. Chris had control over some of the elements already, and he was sure that there would be more to come. But this confused the demon greatly. No witch or demon had total control over the elements. Usually, it would be an Elder being able to use electricity, or a demon being able to control fire, but never like this.

Chris was special alright. And Fresmer was going to help Chris master his powers so demons could rule the world.

The only problem was that Fresmer needed to find out what Chris was, and the Underworld never really did have an extensive collection of books...


Chris woke up the next morning to see a shock of a lifetime. And this was really shocking, cosidering how many things had happened in the past few days.

There was a huge ball of fire, water, and wind in front of him. It just floated there uselessly in front of Chris.

Chris reached out for the ball and looked at it in his hand. The ball of fire, water, and wind was very tiny, but Chris had a feeling that if it hit something, that item would instantly be incenerated. To test this theory out, Chris threw the ball of raw elements at a piece of paper on the ground. He was right, the paper was no more and there was a scorch mark on the ground.

"Hey Chris,"said Wyatt's voice as the handle of Chris' door turned.

Chris panicked and threw a blanket over the scorch mark, not wanting Wyatt to see it. "Hey Wyatt,"he responded casually. "What's up?"

Wyatt looked at Chris oddly. "We're all going out for breakfast,"he responded. "So come on."

"Alright,"Chris replied. "I'll be down in five."

Wyatt nodded and closed the door.

Chris turned his head and looked with excitement at the floor. He couldn't wait to tell Fresmer about this!


"I hate this,"Piper complained quietly.

"Me too,"Phoebe agreed.

"Stop complaining you two,"Paige said. "We have a mission."

"Aunt Paige is right Mom,"Melinda whispered. "Those demons we are after are around here somewhere. I can sense it." Melinda had the powers to sense for things by a combination of empathy and telepathy. She also had those two powers seperately as well.

Prue was completely different than her big sister. Instead of having her mother's powers, she had Piper's powers.

Jack and Bobby were a bit strange with their powers. They had Paige's orbing powers, telekenisis, and a power toencase people, demons, witches, and other magical beings in icewith their eyes. This was a power of their father's.

"So why do we want them?"Jack asked his mother.

"Because they are plotting something,"Paige responded. "They attacked us."

"Oh."

"Shhh!"Piper exclaimed. "I hear something!"

The group of witches stopped and listened for something. But, whatever Piper heard, it seemed to have disappeared. All the group heard was silence.

"What did you hear Piper?"Paige whispered.

"I thought I heard two people talking. But let's keep moving. It was obviously a figment of my imagination." With that, she kept on walking towards her destination.

"They're gone!"Phoebe exclaimed as the group walked into an empty cave.

"They must've known somehow,"Paige said.

"Can we go then?"Melinda asked. "I have some homework to do."

"I don't think so,"Jack said, pointing to another enterance to the cave.

There was a large army of demons standing there, waiting to attack.

"You two! Freeze them!" Paige exclaimed to her two sons.

Jack and Bobby nodded. They looked at the group of demons shimmering into the cave and in a few seconds, they all turned to ice. And while the two twins kept on freezing, everyone else used their powers to vanquish the demons. In a few minutes, the demons were all gone and their reinforcements had stopped coming.

"We better leave before we get attacked some more,"Phoebe warned.

Nodding, the family disappeared in a swirl of blue lights.


Chris was watching tv downstairs. He was training with Fresmur to control his powers and start making that ball of raw elements. He was rather tired and wanted a break. Then, a demon appeared in the room saying that his family was coming! Fresmur immediately sent Chris away, saying that if his family found him in there, he would be in big trouble.

Chris sighed. And he was just getting the hang of his shield of wind...

Chris smiled happily at the thought though. He was getting to be very good with his powers. Even Fresmur said this. He was very happy when Chris could keep his shield up for a very long time against three of his people throwing fire balls and energy balls at him. And even his power of fire that allowed him to react with other magics was starting to be developed.

One thing from his training session confused Chris. When Chris asked Fresmur about the fact that when he had a wall of an element around him, he wanted to become one with it, Fresmur told Chris to try and find some books on elementalists for him in the attic. Chris said he'd try, but he didn't understand why.

Chris heard a sound in the attic. He knew that it was his family orbing. Fresmur had told him what that form of traveling was. Sitting down, Chris was going to play this one out.

A few moments later, there were footsteps. Chris quickly turned on the tv with the remote. He sat watching a documentary on some famous music artist.

"Chris?"asked a voice.

Chris slowly turned his head, grinning inwardly. Most of his family, excluding Leo, were standing at the foot of the stairs. "Hi,"he said, frowning,"where did you guys come from?"

Piper instantly paled. "We were in the attic for a few hours."

Chris nodded, knowing that he had to be naive. "Oh. Okay." After all, if he gave the slightest sign of knowing about magic, Fresmur's plans, whatever they were, would be ruined. And Chris didn't want to ruin them.

Wyatt frowned at Chris. "I thought you were at James' house,"he stated plainly.

Chris nodded. "I was until I left a half an hour ago,"he replied, keeping cool. He had told his family that he was at one of his friend's houses, studying. It, like Piper's previous words, was a lie.

Chris' family seemed to buy this and made some mumbled excuses before Paige and her children and Phoebe and her children left the house. Chris decided to go upstairs to his room to do his homework and also keep away from his prying family.

After finishing his homework, Chris was really bored. He decided to work on his powers. After locking his door and muttering a spell that not only protected his possessions from destruction, but sound-proofed his room. Luckily, Chris could hear what was going on outside of his room, another handy side-effect of the spell. Fresmur had given him a few books on spells. Chris ad read them instantly and even mixed spells together. When he showed Fresmur this, Fresmur was very pleased.

Chris decided to start with his telekinisis. Raising his hand, he made his backpack come to him. Chris then waved his hand again, sending the backpack back besides his chair. "Easy enough,"he said to himself.

Chris then moved onto orbing. He didn't use it a lot, but Chris knew that it was going to come in handy some day. He closed his eyes and for a few moments he amused himself with traveling around the room. "I have that down. Now onto the harder stuff!"

Chris closed his eyes and thrw up his shield of wind. He opened his eyes and smiled pleasantly when he saw wind surronding him. Raising his hand, he created his ball of raw elements. This time, the ball was outside his shield. Waving his hand, Chris threw it at the shield. Chris could feel the shield falter, but it held on strong. Doing this a few more times, Chris finally threw down his shield. He was sweating a tiny bit. This magic was hard stuff!

Finally, the last power that Chris had at the moment was the ability to have his magic react with other magic. Not really knowing how to do this, Chris created a ball of raw elements again. Closing his eyes, he focused on a small bit of fire within, hoping for something to happen.

When there was a small pop, Chris opened his eyes. He smiled in triumph as the ball of elements was partially invisible. Fresmur would love this!

While sitting on his bed, comptenplating on what to do next, a sudden thought came to Chris' mind. He remembered when he first got any of his three elemental powers, he felt like he wanted to become one with that element. Maybe he could actually do that!

There was a knock on the door. "Chris?"came Piper's voice. There was a slight tone of worriedness in her voice. "Are you in there?"

A look of horror passed over Chris' face. He quickly muttered a simple spell, and waved his hand, causing the ball of elements to disappear. Walking slowly to the door, he opened it. "Yes Mom?"

Piper smiled sweetly. "Nothing honey. I just couldn't hear you in there? What were you doing?"

Chris shrugged. "I was doing homework and then reading. No biggie." He shrugged, knowing that it would erase all the doubts and fears that his mother had.

Piper smiled wider. "Next time play music or something! You could've snuck out for all I know!" She turned around, leaving Chris to his own devices.

"Better not do any of that for a while,"Chris mumbled to himself before slamming the door shut.

A/N: I know that I make Chris really powerful in this story, but that's what I think he is. But just so you guys know, he can't shoot out an element at a person, but he only can become one with it and control the element that way as well as having a special ability from the element. I'm trying to contain his powers even if it is in a tiny way.
