Chapter Eight
"Yea, you orbed witch means that the demon didn't short-circuit our power" Chris said taking a deep calming breath "He switched them." Jesse just sat still as stone.
Then he gave a small snicker "excuse me?" he asked in disbelief.
"H.E. S.W.I.T.H.E.D. O.U.R. P.O.W.E.R.S" Chris said loudly pronouncing each letter clearly as Jesse was and idiot. "But don't worry I sure once the girls vanquish the demon our powers will return to their rightful owner."
"Don't worry" Jesse scoffed "Let's recap shall we, we're stuck under a pile of rock in a tiny hole of a place, we don't have our right powers, and I'm feeling these weird things in my head that's giving me this really bad headache. Can we worry yet?"
"Ok, I get it" Chris blurted out " I get that you don't like small places, and that your freaking out about not having your powers, but we're going to have to deal. As for the things your feeling that's my power of empathy your feeling." He said breathing heavily.
"Chris" Jesse asked with concern on his face, but Chris waved him away sitting down next to him. "Chris, I think were running out of air, but I can't be sure without my powers." Jesse said looking at him. "Ok, I'm going to teach you to do something very simple alright" Chris nodded. "Ok, close your eyes and picture the cave thing in your mind's eye" Jesse instructed "Ok, now senses the air, believe that you can see it" Jesse watch as Chris's hands glow blue faintly then died and Chris opened his eyes quickly taking a huge gasped of air.
"Well" Jesse inquired, "What did you see? " he asked as Chris leaned back against the wall. "Well I saw the cave but it was in this reddish color, then the air must have been all that blue stuff everywhere." Chris explained and Jess nodded "Was the air moving or just sitting there" Jess asked. "Just sitting there." Chris said hesitantly and Jesse grimiest."
" That's what I though were running out of air or the air is getting in to slowly." He explained. "I give us two hour tops."
So what do we do?" Jesse asked Chris who surged "don't know, wait for the sister I guess. I mean tapping in to what little bit of power I did was a lot more draining than I though."
Jesse nodded " That goes way after a while, but your powers are no picket either" Jesse said massaging his temples.
"Yea, it's those really strong emotions that hit you hard" Chris said laughing a bit.
"So I take it your half witch then?" Jesse asked of handedly, causing Chris to raise his eyebrow. "Listen, I may have only got a quarter way though the book of shadows, but I read the page about whitelighters, and know for a fact that whitelighters don't have the power of empty. It's a witch's power." Chris just stared back at Jesse then sighed, "Busted" Chris muttered, "Yes, my mother is witch and father is a whitelighter"
"Like Wyatt?" Jesse asked stretching a bit till he felt something come from Chris and he jerked to look at Chris. Who had and odd look on his face a cross between trying to show no emotion and looking like he's hiding something.
Jesse gave him a hard look and he felt the feeling again. It felt like "nerviness" Jesse thought saying the last world aloud. The effect of this one world was staggering. Fear was flowing from Chris in waves big enough for you to surf on.
"Ok, out with it" Jesse said in stick ton "Your hiding some thing I can feel it like last time…" he stopped remembering something Chris had felt last time. (" They don't trust me they don't trust their own family") Jesse just looked at Chris who after a wile gave him a look that said "what" but that look was somehow familiar.
"No" he whispered slowly and disbelievingly "It can't be". Jesse move up close to Chris and looked at him hard then drew back " You can't be….Piper and Leo son"
Chris sighed giving up and said, "Yes, I am, before the end of the year I will be conceived and be born nine months latter."
Jesse was a bit shocked by this then asked "How?"
"Well, when a man and a woman love each other they" Chris tried to explain but Jesse quickly interrupted "Ok, yea I know that but I remember Paige saying that Leo and Piper aren't together any more. That he's and elder, can elders have sex?"
Chris busted out laughing hard at the teenagers comment. Then after he calmed down enough he said "I guess they can" but then his serious expression returned to his face "Jesse you can't tell any about Piper or Leo being my parents or tell any body about my witch powers. It could mess up the future if they know." Chris said about to go in to a lecture about "future consequences".
"All right, all right I won't tell them witches honor" shakings his hand. Then Jesse gave him an odd glance and said, "Witch powers, as in plural what other powers do you have."
"Just telekinesis, I promise." Chris said putting a hand over his heart. Jesse look at him skeptically then asked "How dose that work?" Chris smiled and explained how it worked.
"Ok, I think I got" Jesse looking around he saw a small stone and he concentrated on it and it slowly lifted in to the air. "Now, use your hand to move it in a certain direction." Chris instructed and Jesse slowly flicked his wrist and the stone inched forward. "Now throw it at the wall over there" nodding Jesse flung his arm to the right and the stone shot at the wall and as it hit
BOOM!
Rock and dust was sent everywhere as Piper blasted a hole the rocks way from the hole that Jesse and Chris where trapped in.
Chocking on the dust Chris and Jesse crawled out of the hole and took deep breaths and the sisters help them to there feet.
"You guys ok?" Paige asked as she watched Jesse rub his head. "We're fine except for the whole part of our powers being switch."
"What!" the sister yelled.
Chris nodded and said, "Relaxes you guys vanquished the demon right our powers should return to their right hosts." The sister exchanged looks with each other. All giving off waves of nerviness causing Jesse to ask "You did get the demon?"
"Well not exactly, no." Phoebe said
"Damn!" Chris swore "Well we can't do anything from here, let's go back to the manor." They all agreed with him and Paige orbed them all home.
Will Chris and Jesse get the powers back, well you just have to wait till next time to find out. Please r and r I will talk anything.
