A Destiny To Fulfill
Summary: Set after "It's a bad bad world". Chris died, but he is sent back to fulfill his destiny to save Wyatt (Gideon wasn't the one who turned him in my story). Will he be able to make everything alright?
Chapter 13: A lot of demons and a plan
Phoebe was sitting at the kitchen counter and tried desperately to find something she had missed in her premonition two months ago. But again she couldn't think of something else than she already knew. This man was really annoying her. Phoebe knew that she had met him before and that made everything even harder.
"Your coffee is getting cold" Piper said suddenly and pulled her out of her thoughts.
"Oh, thanks" Phoebe mumbled absently and drank a bit before she asked "Where's Chris?"
Piper sighed. "I don't know" she answered. "But I think he's…"
Before Piper could finish her sentence a loud crash could be heard from upstairs. After a short look at each other the sisters ran into the attic where they could see three darklighters. Piper immediately blew two of them up while Phoebe kicked the third one his crossbow out of his hands. Then Piper also blew him up too and asked with fear in her voice "Where's Paige?"
A second later Paige orbed in front of them. "I'm here. Don't worry they didn't got me" she said. "Thanks for the help."
"What was this?" Phoebe asked confused. "Since when do they attack in groups?"
Paige shrugged. "I don't know, I'm just…"
"Watch out!" Piper yelled and pushed her youngest sister to the ground when suddenly a demon appeared behind her and shoot flames at her. Phoebe quickly attacked him and managed it to hit him so hard on his head that he fell unconsiouness. Piper got up from the floor and blew him up before he could even wake up again.
"Was that all?" Piper asked and looked around the room.
"I don't think so!" Paige yelled when another demon shimmered into the middle of the room with an athame in his hand. "Athame!" Paige shouted and orbed the weapon in her own hand before she threw it back at the demon and vanquished him.
A second later five demons shimmered in front of them and immediately released energy balls. Piper quickly froze them but she realized that they needed help. "Chris! Wyatt! Get your butts down here now!" she yelled while Paige called out for one of the energy balls to sent it back at one of the demons.
"Four left!" Phoebe shouted and kicked one of the demons into chest. He fell to the floor while Piper blew up another one. Two of the remaining demons threw again energy balls at Piper. Paige immediately sent one of them back but the other hit Piper in the shoulder. She cried out in pain and fell down at the ground where she once again called out for her sons "Chris! Wyatt!"
In the meantime Phoebe had picked up an athame from the nearby table and vanquished the demon whom she had kicked to the floor. The last demon tried it again to hit Paige with an energy ball but again she sent it back at him and he vanished in flames. The two younger sisters quickly walked over to Piper and knelt down beside her while Chris and Wyatt finally orbed in.
"What's the…" Chris started to ask but then he saw Piper on the floor with a bleeding shoulder. "Mom!"
Within a second her two sons were also at her side and Wyatt healed Pipers wound. "Are you okay?" he asked concerned.
Piper nodded. "Where have you two been?" she then asked a bit angry.
"In the underworld" Chris answered guiltily. He knew he had promised her to stop with his visits there but how should he then find more informations about this mysterious man from Phoebe's premonition?
"Chris!" Piper exclaimed. "You promised me!"
"I know" Chris responded sadly. "But I had to do something. I can't just sit around and wait for me to get killed."
"You won't get killed" Wyatt said firmly. "What happened here anyways?" he then asked to get the attention away from his brother. Chris noticed it and smiled at him thankfully.
Everyone stood up from the floor before Piper answered. "There were suddenly a lot of demons attacking. First there were three darklighters and then seven demons."
Chris frowned worriedly. "Do you think that has something to do with the man from Phoebe's premonition?"
"You think he sent this demons after us?" Paige asked surprised.
Chris shrugged. "I don't know. It's quite possible, I think."
"He could be right" Wyatt agreed. "Maybe this man found out that we know about his plans and now he wants to kill us so he can get to Baby Chris."
"But how should he know that we know?" Piper asked.
"Well, Phoebe said that he looked familiar. That would probably mean that he's a friend of us and that would make it easy for him to find out what we know and what not" Chris explained.
"But we didn't tell anyone about Phoebe's premonition" Paige said uneasily. "Leo even made sure that the elders don't know."
Phoebe, who had remained silent during their conversation, hesitantly stated "Call me a complete idiot but – I don't think that the man really wanted to hurt Chris. And if that's true then he wouldn't sent demons after…"
"He killed him Phoebe!" Wyatt yelled furiously. "How can you say that this damn bastard don't want to hurt him!"
"Wyatt I know this isn't easy for you" Phoebe quickly tried to calm him down. "It isn't for me either. But what I saw and felt in my premonition…"
Again Wyatt cut her off. "You saw my brother die for goddness sake! You said you felt his fear and pain and now you're defending this fucking asshole who will kill him!"
"Wyatt watch your mouth" Piper instinctively scolded.
For a second it seemed like Wyatt was going to yell at his mother too but then he turned with a dangerously calm voice back to his aunt. "I'm going to kill this bastard before he'll get a hand on my brother and if you have a problem with that then you'll better say it now."
"Okay that's really enough" Chris exclaimed a bit shocked at his brothers behaviour. "Wyatt she isn't the enemy."
"She just said that…"
"I just said what I felt" Phoebe cut him off. "When the man said that he was sorry I could feel that he was honest. And…"
"Why are you defending him?" Piper asked now also getting a bit angry at her sister.
"If you would let her finish for once then she could maybe explain everything" Chris said, surprising everyone.
Wyatt raised his eyebrows. "Then explain" he demanded icely.
Phoebe sighed before she spoke "Well as I said I could feel that he was really honest when he said that he was sorry for doing this."
"Doing this? Can't you even speak it out what he did?" Wyatt interrupted harshly.
Phoebe ignored him and continued "The longer I think about it I'm more and more convinced that we know him. But I still can't figure it out who he is or why he's doing – why he's going to kill Baby Chris."
Suddenly a thought hit Chris. "Hey why don't you go on a vision quest?" he asked his aunt.
"A vision quest?" Phoebe repeated confused.
Chris nodded. "Yeah, one that will show you more about the man from the premonition. We could make a spell to do it."
"That's a great idea" Piper said excitedly. "What do you think Phoebe?"
"She'll do it" Wyatt said before Phoebe could say something.
"Wyatt!" Chris exclaimed. "Would you please stop…"
"It's okay Chris" Phoebe cut him off. "I'll do it."
Chris nodded thankfully while a new hope spread in him. Maybe this would really help them. The fact that Phoebe somehow defended the man who will kill was a bit disturbing him too but he knew that she just told them what she had felt. And after all when Gideon had tried to kill Wyatt he had also said that he was sorry for doing this. So maybe it was the same with this man too. But that would mean that he's not a demon…
TBC… (The next chapter: Phoebe will go on a vision quest, but what will she see?)
