Disclaimer: This is so cruel. I don't own Charmed… nor do I own Drew… why do I have to say this again and again?

DrewFullerFanLife: A couple of suggestions… Well you'll see what will happen if you read on ;)

Jenny: Yeah Lindsay fell for him but to tell the truth: who wouldn't? ;) Thanks a lot for your review. I'm flattered every time I read them.

JadedTruth: Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you like my story so much.

Fire Gazer: Yeah, poor Chris. But you have to give Lindsay a chance to make it up to him. She's really sad about how things went too.


Chapter 14

Chris lay on the couch in P3. Since his quarrel with Lindsay two days ago he hadn't returned to her apartment. He still couldn't understand how he could have been so blind. She had used him all the time and he didn't even noticed it once. Well, that wasn't right. In the beginning he had asked himself why she seemed to be so nice to him after how she had acted when they had first met. But he had stopped wondering about it quickly as he had realised how much he liked her.

That was also something that made him angry. Why had he even started a relationship with her? He hadn't come all the way from the future to go out and have fun. He was here to save Wyatt, to save his family. But he had clearly messed up. He had allowed Lindsay to distract him and who knows what could have happened. The demon who turned Wyatt could have been directly under his nose and he maybe wouldn't have seen it. Maybe it was really better that it was over between them.

But as much as Chris tried to think like this, he couldn't. He already missed her, even though he was still angry and hurt. What he couldn't understand was why Lindsay hadn't told him from the start that she was just interested in the book. If she had a problem with a demon then he would have helped her, or at least the sisters. And he was sure she knew that, so why had she lied to him?

Chris sighed and sat up to put his shoes on. He needed to come to other thoughts. Determind he took an athame from the desk and wanted to orb to the underworld as Leo appeared in front of him. Great. That's what I need now. "What do you want?" he snapped.

"Just to talk" Leo answered calmly.

"I don't have time for this" Chris responded. "I just wanted to go and vanquish some demons, so if you excuse me…" With that he wanted to orb out but Leo grabbed his arm to hold him back.

"No, we need to talk. Now."

Chris wanted to snap at him again but then he saw something in Leos eyes that made him stop. It was something he hadn't seen for a long time from Leo. At least it wasn't a look that he had given Chris in the last years and since he was in this time Leo had always looked at him with distrust and hate. But now there was uncertainty in his look, even some sympathy.

He frowned and finally asked "What?"

Leo hesitated a second. But he had to ask. He needed clarity. Since the thought that Chris could might be related to them had come to his mind he wasn't able to forget about it. "Chris I know that we didn't came along great in the past months…"

Chris snorted. "Really? Didn't noticed that."

"Could you please stop playing this smart ass for once and listen to me?" Leo asked impatiently.

Chris sat down again onto the couch and looked up at him. "Okay, spill it."

"Well, as I said I know that you hate me…"

Again Chris couldn't help but interuppted. "As if you don't hate me" he mumbled.

Leo sighed. He had known that this wasn't going to be easy but he had hoped that he could at least finish one sentence. "Chris please, back off. I just want to ask you one question. Would you let me do it?"

"Then ask and spare me the speech about how much we hate each other."

Leo swallowed. "Are you… are we related?"

Chris was shocked at this question. He had expected everything, but this had taken him by total surprise. As he had decided to travel to the past he had considered that one of his aunts or his mom would find out about him, he somehow had even hoped that they would. But he had never thought that Leo would do. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't get what Leo said next. "What did you say?"

"I'm right, aren't I? You're really related to us" Leo replied and sat down heavily onto a chair that stood in front of the table. Even if this thought had been spinning around in his head for the last two weeks, it was still something else now that he knew that it was right.

Suddenly Chris let out a laugh that caused Leo to look at him questionalbly. "What?"

"Oh please" Chris said and tried to sound disbelievingly. "Do you really think I'm related to you?"

For a second Leo was reliefed that it seemed like that he wasn't right after all but as he looked at Chris he could tell that he was lying and his heart sank into his stomach. He had been so mean to Chris though he was family. "Yes I think you are" he answered confident.

Again Chris was shocked about what Leo said. He stood up quickly. "Leo I really don't know what came into you but I'm not related to you. And now I have to go" he lied and orbed out before Leo could stop him again.


The apartment was unusually quite. Only in the last two days Lindsay had realized how empty it has been since she lived here. How empty her life had been. On the day her mother had died her life had shattered into a million pieces and she had never believed that she would ever be able to have a normal life again. Or as normal as it was possible for a witch.

As she had met Chris she had instantly felt that he could be able to pull her out of this mess. She had known it. Somehow she had felt a connection between them before she had even spoken a word with him. But she had been too afraid to accept it. Too afraid that if she would let anyone close to her again, she once would have to deal with the pain of loss again.

Now she could see that she had been wrong. The last three weeks has been the best since she was twelve. For the first time she had felt loved again. It was great to see that someone actually cared about her and now she could only hope that Chris still did it though she knew that she didn't deserve it after what she did to him. But she wouldn't give up on him yet, she just couldn't. She had to speak with him, try to explain why she had done this things and what she really felt for him.

She had tried to call for him in the last two days but he hadn't answered. Lindsay couldn't blame him for that but she needed to talk to him now, she couldn't wait anymore. She would go to the Halliwells then they could call for him. Quickly she stood up from her bed, which she hadn't left very often in the last fourtyeight hours, and went to the wandrobe to get dressed. As her gaze fell onto Chris' clothes she once again felt how much she missed him.

After she was dressed she grabbed her keys and wanted to leave her arpartment as a demon shimmered in front of her. Out of reflex she made a roundhouse kick and sent the demon flying into the door. She raised her hand to use her pyrokinises but then suddenly a pair of arms grabbed hers and turned them behind her back. Lindsay screamed out in pain and surprise. She hadn't noticed that there was a second demon.

The first demon stood up now and went over to her. Lindsay struggeled hard to get free from the grasp of the other man but he just pulled at her arms even harder. As the first demon was just inches away from her she leaned back and pushed her legs up. This action had two useful consequences: the first demon was again kicked back and she finally got free of the grasp from the second.

Lindsay didn't wasted her time. Quickly she hold up her hand and vanquished the demons before they could attack again. She let out a sigh of relief as she was once again alone in her arpartment. Or at least she thought she was alone. She never saw the man who grabbed a lamp behind her and hit it on her head.


After his talk with Leo at P3 Chris hadn't orbed down to the underworld like he had planned. He knew he was too distracted to vanquish demons now. So he had orbed to the meadow in the Golden Gate Park where he once had met Lindsay. He sat down on the bench and closed his eyes for a second to calm himself down. But it didn't work. He couldn't get Leos words out of his head. How the hell had he figured it out?

For a moment he had been very reliefed that someone knows who he is. But then he had realised that it was Leo and that confused him. In the future he hadn't been there for him, he was never around. Sometimes Chris had been surprised that Leo had even remembered his name. And now it was he of all people that recognised him? It couldn't be.

Chris sighed and looked over the meadow. He missed Lindsay. Of course he hadn't been able to talk to her about everything that happened in the future, or will happen in that case, but if he felt bad she had always known how to cheer him up. He needed her now. He wanted to talk to her, wanted her to tell him that everything was going to work out somehow. Before he could think about it any further he orbed away to her apartment.


Once Chris reappeared in Lindsays living room his eyes widend in shock. The whole room was a mess. The furniture was broken and everywhere were lying things around. It was clear that something had happened. "Lindsay!" he shouted with fear in his voice. He went quickly over to her bedroom, then to the bathroom and into the kitchen. But Lindsay wasn't there.

As he walked back to the living room Leo orbed in. "Chris please let's talk about it, okay?" he asked immediately.

Chris ignored him and went over to the box where Lindsay had her magical things in it. He pulled out a map and a scrying crystal and walked over to the table. There he put the map on it and began scrying for her.

Leo just then took in his suroundings and frowned worried. "What happened?"

"I don't know. As I came here everything was already like it's now and Lindsay was gone" Chris explained and looked up from the map hopefully. "Can you sense her?"

Leo closed his eyes for a second and concentrated but he couldn't locate Lindsay. That would mean she was either in the underworld or she was dead. "No I can't. I'm sorry" he finally answered. Chris looked sadly down on the map again and watched the crystal moving over it.

"Chris, if I can't sense her you won't find her on the map either" Leo said softly.

"So what shall I do?" Chris yelled frustrated. "Nothing?"

Leo went over to him and before he said hesitately "I know you like her a lot, but you have to consider that she's might…"

"No!" Chris cut him off. "She's not dead!"

Leo didn't know what he should say at this. Well, maybe it's time you help him for once. After all he's family. "Let's go to the underworld. Maybe I can sense her there."

Chris looked at him for a moment and Leo could tell that he was surprised that he offered him his help. Then without an other word Chis orbed away. Leo sighed. He was really confused about Chris' behaviour towards him. If they were really related, and Leo was now sure of that, why did Chris hate him so much? After a last look at the demolished apartment he followed Chris to the underworld.


In the meantime Lindsay awoke in a dark cold cave. She knew immediately that she had to be in the underworld, though she hadn't been here before. But her mother had told her about it a few times and that's exactly how she had imagined it. As she heard footsteps she quickly sat up straight but regreted it a second later. Her head hurted badly and as she touched it she could feel dry blood in her hair.

"I'm sorry if they have hurt you" a dark evil voice suddenly said behind her.

Lindsay turned around to face her capturer and as she saw him her jaw dropped in shock and surprise. "Dad?" she gasped.

TBC… (Sorry about this short chapter but I had lots of school stuff to do and I wrote two chapters for my other story… but I'm not sorry for the cliffhanger. I just love them hehehe. Please review!)
