charmedsisters:) thanks for the comment, glad you liked the story so far.
Chris didn't die no, I was going to carry it on but it was too complicated to explain how he died and then was alive again.
Chapter nine keep a secret
Chris walked out his room five minutes later wearing just his boxers; he knocked on Paige's door. Paige opened and closed her eyes.
"I shouldn't really complain I have seen it all before right? But you were a lot smaller then, not that I saw it now but obviously it's grown since you were a baby and," she stopped for a second, "and I'm going to shut up now. Chris I'm sorry I just heard laughing I thought you might have been watching something funny. I didn't realise I'd be the one to see the show – not that there was a show I mean you were both just lying there; you'd either finished or not yet started.
"What am I saying, it's nothing to do with me right? You're old enough; 23 in fact, you've had sex of course you have. Okay I'm going to go!" she stepped around her nephew and walked right into Ashley.
"Oh god; I'm so sorry Ashley I don't normally walk into someone else's room without knocking and today would have to be the day when I should have. I didn't see anything; well I saw something – I don't know what it is. Just sex? Friends and sex? Love and sex?" Ashley cut her off.
"Paige we're engaged," she looked at Chris and shrugged her shoulders.
"What? Since when? I don't see any ring?" Paige said confused.
"Well technically we're only kids now so 21 years into the future. And you don't see any ring because I hid it – you know my power can hide things that are there or make things appear. Well I've always been wearing my ring but it's hidden," she moved her right hand over her left and a engagement ring appeared on her finger. Paige stared looking at the ring; her nephew had gone all out.
"Wait you were engaged when you came here?" they both nodded.
"Then why not tell us? Why keep it a secret. I'm sure Leo and Piper would be made up to know their youngest son was getting married!" Chris looked at the floor and Ashley shook her head tears filling her eyes.
"No, you can't tell anyone Paige; even you knowing now could ruin things. You have to take this to the future with you, and if you remember in the future acted surprised when we tell you. Don't ever tell anyone else it could ruin things and this is a good thing in our lives. Please don't ruin it for us." A single tear fell down her cheek and fell slowly to the floor.
There had been a million tears just like that one when it came to talking about her and Chris's engagement. She secretly wished that saving the family from the Capmer demons in this time would make things better for her and Chris in their time. But she knew not to hold her breath over it; because wishing comes with consequences and she didn't need any of them.
"Okay I won't tell anyone, brownies promise!" Paige said holding her three fingers in the air to represent the promise. Ashley smiled hugging Paige. "Thank you," she whispered before walking off to Chris's room again.
Chris was about to thank his aunty when he heard Ashley screaming from their room; both he and Paige ran into the room and found a Capmer demon there. Ashley was saying a spell and a hole in the floor was appearing but the demon had hold of her arm and was dragging her down into the hole too.
Chris orbed to her and took hold of her waist trying to get her back.
"Paige, orb here and help I can't hold on by myself he's too strong," Paige orbed to her nephew and took hold of his waist and helped him pull Ashley out of the hole.
It was no use the demon was far too strong; even with Ashley saying that spell on it. It managed to pull the three of them into the hole after them, heading towards nothing but a long black pool of nothing.
"Chris where are we going?" Paige asked her voice shaking. Chris shouted back that he didn't know. His thoughts weren't on anywhere good though; when Ashley opened a portal like this it sent the demons to the middle of the earth where it was far too hot that they blew up there. He didn't want to think what the heat would do to humans.
He closed his eyes as he felt himself spin around in circles; faster and faster until he reached a hard surface. He could feel Ashley in front of him and Paige behind him; hoping they were safe he slowly opened his eyes and was shocked to see he was outside the Manor.
"Chris this isn't normal!" Paige said unsurely. She knew her home and this was it but there was something different about everything.
"It's not normal for you now, but give a few years – or 20 and this will be. Chris he's took us to the future look," she pointed to two people sitting on the steps leading up to the house - it was them.
"Can they; I mean you, them you see us?" Paige asked. Ashley shook her head, "I don't think so! Oh my god Chris you do realise what this is don't you?" he nodded and looked back at the scene in front of him.
