Chapter 3: The Little Games of Change
"Phoebe?!" Piper repeated yet again shaking her sister. Phoebe stirred and opened her eyes. "Oh thank God!" Piper said dramatically. "what?" Phoebe asked confused from her position, now lying on the couch. "You were out for a while. What happened?" Paige asked concerned. "Was it a premonition?" Leo asked holding a cup of water out to Phoebe for her to drink. "Yes... it was...." Phoebe managed to say before she gulped water. "Is Chris around?" "No, he orbed off to find something for you – you were out cold and we'd run out of salts to get you around, so he offered to go get them." Paige replied as a trilling of orbs appeared to form a young man. "Chris!" Phoebe's voice was relieved. Chris looked both angry and frantic. Piper looked between her sister and her son confused. "What's –"Piper began was cut off by Chris and Phoebe talking at the same time. "What did you see?" Chris asked urgently and a little frantically. "Why didn't you tell us the truth?" Phoebe asked him disappointed that he had not told them everything. Chris looked angry. "What do you mean? I just **told** you everything!"
What had Phoebe seen? What was she talking about? He thought.
"Why didn't you tell us about Bianca?" Chris who had been fuming and rolling his eyes in exasperation and anger went suddenly silent and limp before his voice said in a cold, hard tone which had an iron control on his anger, grief and pain: "What do you mean?" Paige looked awkwardly between the two unsure of how to act.
"Phoebe!" Paige said in a disbelieving tone. How could she ask him that? It hurt him – even she knew that and she wasn't even an empath while Phoebe was!
Phoebe ignored her sister, still bent upon gaining as much information as she could. She was still in disbelief that her premonition was true and needed Chris to answer her question.
"Why didn't you tell us how Bianca died." Chris closed his eyes, counting to 10 in another attempt to not lose his temper.
"The reason I did not tell you," Chris began in a voice often used by adults when reprimanding young children, "Is because I was still coming to terms with it myself."
At this Paige shot Phoebe a 'I told you so' look. Chris began to orb when Leo's voice stopped him.
"Don't run away from your family Chris!" Leo's voice was hard. "What? And be like you? Isn't that what children are meant to do? Take after their parents, well if that's so then I'm all set, I have a **great** role-model here!" Chris voiced his sarcasm his hand motioning towards Leo. "I'm still your father regardless of what you think happens in the future!" Leo said angrily. Chris' next words shocked the sisters' but especially Piper and Leo. "Yeah, and you've been a great one." He replied sarcastically before orbing off leaving Piper to worry. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chris re-materialized sitting on the bench in Bianca and his ''spot''. This was very unwise as anyone could have seen him but he did not care. His mind was shrouded in grief, his vision seeming to be covered by it, a grey wavy film separating him from the world, then falling and trickling down his cheek in an embodiment of a tear.
I"God, she calls herself an Empath!I He thought angrily momentarily forgetting that it was his fault that she could not sense emotions from him – he had blocked her power with a potion. IBut even if I DID block her power she should have enough SENSE not to mention Bianca! IBianca.... I
Chris stood up and walked over to the angel statue that was a few metres from the bench. His hand traced the smooth white stone that the statue was made of. It was as if he was trying to gain anything from the stone as his aunt Phoebe would. But he was no premonition gaining Whitelighter/witch. Instead was sent into a normal flashback...
~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~ IChris had been in the process of getting dressed after having a shower when he heard Bianca's frantic call. "CHRIS!!!" He quickly put on a dark green Polo shirt to match his black jeans and black shoes, grabbed his jacket and orbed. He re-orbed at their ''spot''. Bianca was there waiting for him. When she saw him she ran to him and flung her arms around him regardless of his wet bedraggled appearance. "Chris," she sobbed. "He killed her." "Killed who?" Chris asked wrapping his arms tightly around her. He did not have to ask who had done the killing. "Wyatt," Bianca hesitated before saying in a small voice, "Killed Selena." "Wyatt killed your cousin!?" Chris' mind tried to comprehend this information, his arms tightened around Bianca, trying to think of a way to comfort her. Selena had been Bianca's cousin, best friend and sister all rolled into one. They had gone almost their whole lives without being separated and now, they would be separated forever. "Oh, Bianca....I'm sorry."I ~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~ He said those last words over and over, in a trance before his mind slipped into the darkness..... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ So... what did you think? I made it extra long – thank Laheara for that!! She made me do it! LOL. Thanks for our AIM convo Heather!! Please review and tell me what you think!! ~isa~ Oh, and PS: I own Selena!!
