Chapter Three – Dreams & the Crime Scene
Wyatt
and Piper Halliwell stood in the doorway of Chris Halliwell's
bedroom. The room was dark, and the only thing that could be see was
the street light which was reflecting off of Chris' brown, hair.
Piper looked at Chris, she wanted to know so desperately what
happened to her son, was he hurt? Did someone tease him again about
the swim team? Did one of his friends die? Thousands of scenarios
passed through her mind in about a second. Wyatt however leaning
against the doorway looked at his brother. He wanted to use his
Telepathy to ask him what had happened, but he didn't want to wake
him. He wanted know what had happened has much has his mother did.
Using his telepathy he scanned his mother head, she had been thinking
almost has much has he had been thinking.
"Wyatt!" Piper said
not taking her eyes off of Chris.
"Sorry, just wanted to know
what you were thinking."
"Then you should have asked!" She
snapped
"So he was just sitting they're crying when you got home?" Piper went on.
"He
wasn't crying yet. He was just sitting there."
"Then what
happened?"
"Well Jason Lee called, remember he's the senior
that has the full scho-"
"I
remember who he is. Why did he call?" She snapped.
"He wanted
to know why Chris wasn't at Pizza Hut with them. He was suppose to
meet them their after the meet."
Piper
then blinked, she was put back into reality. She turned to Wyatt.
"He
had a meet today?" She asked
"Yeah,"
He replied.
"What no, that's not till Friday."
"Mom today is Friday."
"What?"
Piper said thinking; the week had passed by, without her knowing
it.
"Remember as we're getting into my car this morning he
told you about the meet?"
Piper then suddenly remembered.
Chris and Wyatt both with their duffels and backpacks were pilling them into Wyatt's VW Jetta.
"Mom
don't forget my meet this afternoon, I am going up against Losner
and Latner." He said as Wyatt closed the trunk.
"I wouldn't
miss it for the world." She said giving him a hug goodbye. "Good
luck." She said has she waved goodbye and got into her car and
drove off.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Piper said slowly as she looked at Chris. "I lied to him."
"What? No, it's okay don't beat yourself up over it." Wyatt said
"But I said I would be there and I didn't show up."
"Look, this is only the middle of the season, he'll have bigger meets."
"No Wyatt!" She said almost yelling. She shut up as Chris shifted in his sleep. "Look I haven't seen any of you that much in the past few weeks, because I am trying to get this new club organized in Los Angeles, and I promised Chris I would be there and I wasn't!" She said has she had tears in her eyes.
"Look
it's okay-"
"No Wyatt's its not!" She said in a loud
whisper, "I wanted to be there, I wanted to see him, I managed to
go to your meet on Monday but not his. Look you just don't
understand. Watch him please."
Piper
sniffling walked off to her room and closed the door. Piper threw off
her shoes and sat down on her bed and cried. Orbs filled in front of
her. Leo appeared, holding orangeish-redish roses. He smiled and
looked at his wife, but his smile quickly vanished. Leo appeared in
blue jeans and green sweater.
"Honey what's wrong?" He asked
Piper. Piper did nothing but cry in her hands.
"Leo, am I a good
mother?" She asked
"What?"
Leo was shocked at the question. "Why are you asking me something
like that, you're a wonderful mother with two great sons."
Piper
sniffled.
"What's got you upset?" Leo asked.
"Chris."
She said
"What
did Chris do? He yell at you?"
"No, no it's not that." She
said, "Something happened today at his swim meet, and now he's
not telling anyone what happened."
"Oh."
"And I just
always thought I would have this relationship with my sons that like
they would tell me anything that they had on their mind like they did
when they were little." She said, breaking down in her hands again.
"Look, Piper look at me." Leo said taking her hands into his. "You're a wonderful mother. And Chris and Wyatt have always come to you about everything, even now. Advice, Help, questions, anything and you have helped them. You're a wonderful mother and I would be damned if I didn't call you a good wife."
Piper
smiled and sniffled.
"Besides, you wouldn't be that great if I
didn't bring you these home." Leo said showing her the roses.
Piper smiled even more.
Leo smiled and kissed his wife. "So tell
me, what happened?"
Wyatt stood in Chris' doorway watching, wanting to go to his chemistry book and notes for the big exam tomorrow, he knew if he left for a second his mother would skin him alive so he held out his hand a large chemistry book with pieces of paper orbed into his hand. He began to look at the papers, with were full of formulas and mathematical equations and notes here and there. But what Wyatt did not know, was that his brother, Christopher Halliwell was having the worst nightmare of his life.
Chris was lying on the cold hard cement floor, being held down by an invisible man, who was taking hold of him. The man was using his body weight to over take Chris'.
"Oh I have to have you!" Said the Man.
Chris trying hard and harder to over take the man's grip on him, was useless, he was fighting a losing battle. The man had used his massive hands to hold down Chris' arms and the man used his legs and lower body strength to hold Chris' legs down; then it began. Chris felt his shirt being lifted up and the large cold hands go against his stomach, navel and chest.
"It feels better then what I would have expected." Said the Man.
Chris tried to scream through the sock, trying his hardest to move it out of his mouth, but the sock even itself seemed to be holding his tongue down. The man began to kiss his chest abdomen and moving up. Chris' was really beginning to get scared.
Oh god this can't be happening. No, I am not gay, I am not! I don't want this, somebody help me, anyone! Oh god please help me!
As the mans lips moved up towards Chris neck, he screamed and he felt his eyes beginning to fill up with tears.
"Oh yes!" Said the man sucking on Chris' neck, then without hesitation, the man flipped Chris' body like a pancake. Using this to Chris' advantage, he tried to free himself and run, but the man's reactions were like lighting and back he had the same paralyzing grip on him before. Chris was now on his stomach, and his face hurt, cause his face slammed into the floor. Then he remembered his necklace. But he didn't fill on him anymore, if he could manage to yell or say "Blessed Be" it would activate the charm on the necklace and one of his aunts, mother, or anyone in his family would come to him, but his mouth was muffled by a sock. Damn.
"Yes." Said the man, Chris suddenly heard the sounds of metal clinging in the darkness; belt buckles. NO! OH GOD NO! HELP, SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP! Chris then screamed, he never screamed so hard in his life, but still no one heard. Then Chris felt his pants be pulled off. No please, if you have mercy, please don't do this. But the mans breathing got faster and harder, then Chris winched at the pain. Oh god! Chris suddenly just stopped fighting it was no use. Tears ran down his face as man moved above him. The pain that struck through his entire body and the mans' breath on the back of his neck. Chris wanted it to end right there.
Chris shifted in his bed. "No!" Chris said. Wyatt looked up from his notes, "Chris?"
Chris laid there, it felt like eternity, and the pain was more then he could bear. All he wanted to do was for the man to stop and for Chris to run. Then the man began to go faster and harder. "Oh god, oh god yes." Said the man. Chris closed his eyes and waited it to stop, and then the scream of pleasure from the man and Chris screamed as well.
Then
Chris woke up and shot up right in his bed. Breathing hard, sweating,
he didn't notice that Wyatt had dropped his stuff and came to his
bedside.
"Chris whats wrong? What happened?"
Chris
didn't say anything he just looked straightforward in the darkness
of his room, full aware that his brother was next to him, but to
scared and petrified to say a thing.
"Mom!" Wyatt yelled.
Suddenly the sound of a door bursting open and footsteps running down
the hall, and the light being turned on in Chris's room. Then Wyatt
saw his mother and father come into the room.
"What happened?"
Piper said looking at both of them, "Sweetie." Piper said to
Chris, as she knelt next to him. "Are you okay?"
Chris didn't look at his mother, but his father was right in front of him, at the end of his bed. Leo looked into his son's eyes, Chris looked back. Leo had never seen those eyes so faded. Leo had always seen his sons happy and full of life, but now his youngest Christopher was the total opposite. His green eyes, which were always the color of a leaf on a spring day, were now almost gray.
"Chris."
Wyatt said putting his hand on his knee, "What happened?"
Chris
seemed to react and get out of the trance he was in and looked at his
father, his hand on his knee. Then Chris took his hand felt his neck,
hoping to find what he was looking for, but he didn't, the necklace
was gone.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Leo,
Piper, Wyatt, and Christopher Halliwell all sat around Christopher
Halliwell's bed as they tried to calm him, all they could do was
know that the necklace that the sisters had given Chris, Wyatt, and
Melinda (Phoebe's daughter) was gone.
"Where's your
necklace?" Piper asked.
Chris looked at his mother. "School."
He said,
"Okay, where at the school?" Leo asked
"Is it
still in your duffle?" Wyatt asked
Chris nodded. Then something
hit Wyatt, he suddenly thought of something. If he could find out
where the necklace was maybe he could find out what happened. "I'll
be right back." Wyatt said Orbing out.
Wyatt's
orbs filled the dark locker room, but then it was plunged back into
darkness. "Lights on, so I can move on." Wyatt said thinking of a
spell. The lights above him started to flicker on and then Wyatt
began to look around. This was the men's athletic locker room, and
there were six long rows of beige lockers and in-between the beige
lockers then he walked to the far wall, and saw his brother's stuff
sitting on the ground.
The yellow duffle which had "Halliwell,
C" on it was on the ground and it seemed that the handle had been
ripped off, his backpack was on the ground and his locker door was
wide open. Wyatt knelt down and looked into the locker, it was empty,
he closed it. Then Wyatt saw a reflection in his eye. He looked down
and saw a piece of sliver metal string. Wyatt then put his fingers
under this shirt and brought out his own same necklace that had, he
moved Chris' backpack and saw his brothers necklace. The necklace
was ripped off it was just laying on the floor.
"Chris."
Wyatt said holding the necklace. He grabbed the rest of his brother's
stuff and orbed back home. When he orbed home, his parents were
sitting in the living room.
"Look." Wyatt said walking over to
his parents. Has he dropped Chris' stuff on the floor. "It's
his necklace, it looks like it was ripped off." He handed the
necklace to Piper, who seemed to look at it. Then Piper handed it to
Leo.
"Was he attacked?" Leo asked himself.
"Demons?"
Piper said
"No, after what happened last time, I am sure they
won't." Wyatt said.
Wyatt sat down on the couch next to his parents and sighed.
"Hey
you guys." Phoebe said walking in and sitting on the chair.
"Hi."
Piper, Leo, and Wyatt all kind of mumbled.
"Anything new?" She
asked
"Nightmares." Leo said
"Ripped necklaces." Wyatt
said
"Ripped necklaces?" Phoebe asked
Leo handed Phoebe the
necklace, she looked at it and then was sent into another
premonition.
Chris
was standing their, in the locker room
but then blackness.
Phoebe
opened her eyes.
"What happened?" Wyatt asked.
"I saw
Chris standing there ready to go, and then somebody turned off the
lights." She said
"Okay." Piper said
"I
think it was earlier today, cause Chris was wearing the same shirt."
Phoebe said
Piper closed her eyes and then opened them.
"Look
you guys, it's late." Piper said looking at the clock, (12:45
am), and we all have stuff to do tomorrow. So let's just go to bed
and pick this up again tomorrow."
Wyatt wanted to debate, but he needed his sleep too.
The four of them got up and went off to bed. As Piper and Leo walked by their sons bedroom, they stopped. "Sleep tight sweetie." Piper said closing his door. Piper and Leo then walked into their own room. Wyatt went into his won room, but didn't close the door. He kept it open, just in case.
Then
Wyatt did something he hadn't done before, he made sure no one was
in the hallway or listening, he got on his knees and prayed.
"God,
it's Wyatt." He said, "I know I haven't been the best
Christian or Wiccan for that matter. But I am as confused and need of
help more then I have ever been. Someone hurt my brother and who know
who it is. And I wish you could tell me, but I know that I find this
one out. But help me, if anyone hurt Christopher, I am going kick
their sorry little ass and wish they never been born."
