The new power of three chapter 2
Not long before they finished cleaning up the mess the demon made in the attack Leo orbed in and before even saying hello to the kids he ushered Piper and Paige into the kitchen.
"What do you think that's about" Amy asked Wyatt and Chris who had both stopped cleaning.
"I don't know but we could always find out" Chris said smiling in a very conniving way.
"No Chris we are not going to eavesdrop" Wyatt said firmly.
"Awe Wy you are so boring, goody to shoes" Chris teased
"Wyatt's right we shouldn't eavesdrop we might have to listen to what they have to say twice" Amy said hitting Chris on the shoulder just as the rest of the family came into the room. But as soon as her hand touched his shoulder an image appeared in her eyes. A vision.
PremonitionChris, Wyatt and Amy were all standing in the attic looking at the book of shadows when a demon appeared and Wyatt orbed them all out. But when they reappeared down stairs a bright light shone over them.
End of premonition.
"I know that look what did you see" Piper said looking at her seriously.
"I didn't know you got premonitions," Chris said looking at her.
"I don't, I mean I never have before" Amy said still trying to get over what just happened "We have to go up stairs"
She grabbed Wyatt and Chris and ran them both up stairs.
"I saw a demon," She said running into the attic and flipping the book open, but before she could find it a demon flamed in "That one"
As quickly as she said that the demon threw an energyball at them and Wyatt orbed them down stairs right where piper, Paige and Leo were still standing. And just like in her vision a very bright light shone over them but was gone in a manner of seconds.
"What the hell was that" Amy said looking at the adults.
"Watch out" Wyatt yelled telekinetically moving Amy out of the way when the demon appeared again and hurled another energyball at them.
"Athame" Chris yelled and threw it in mid orb. The demon exploded into flames.
"Al right that's the second time this past hour, stuff being polite what the hell is going on" Amy said getting really annoyed now "And no crap get to the point"
"Um well the elders think that you might be the new power of three" Leo said plain and simple.
"What!" Chris, Wyatt and Amy said very loudly.
"That's not possible," Amy said being the first one to recover.
"And why not" Piper asked trying not to infuriate the teenager any more that she already was.
"Because I am a ordinary witch with no special powers and I'm not related to and witch's let alone powerful ones" Amy said starting to walk around the room.
"You do have a cool power pyrokinesis that's very rare" Chris pointed out grabbing her arm to stop her moving around.
"Who's side are you on" she snapped pulling her arm away.
"You know who she reminds me of," Paige said to piper.
"Who?" Piper asked looking at Paige.
"You"
"Me"
"Yeah she's as grumpy as you"
"Do you want dinner tonight"
"Ok, ok I surrender but she's also a drama queen like you"
"That's it you're going to starve"
"Sorry, sorry, please feed me"
"Hey you two" Leo said getting the two women's attention.
"What!" Piper said looking at her husband.
"A little help here" he said looking desperate.
"I was saying that I've heard about full time witch duties and there is no way in hell I'm going to be putting my life on hold for it" Amy said with Chris nodding his head in agreement and Wyatt shaking his head in disagreement.
"Well honey I know how you feel but you don't really have much of a choice if its your destiny there's nothing you can do about it" Piper said sympathetically.
"Look no ones makes my destiny but me, ok. And I don't want to be a full time witch I haven't even finished high school yet" Amy said angrily.
"Yeah and there's nothing I hate more than being told what to do" Chris said glaring at Wyatt who obviously tried to do that a lot.
"Yeah, yeah we all know Chris" Wyatt said obviously not caring.
"Well maybe if you didn't do it so often I wouldn't complain about it so often" Chris sneered.
"Well maybe if you listened we wouldn't do it so often, or if you kept out of trouble" Wyatt snapped back.
"Hey stop fighting you two" Piper said strictly "A team can not work if you fight"
"Well we aren't a team a team wouldn't have a bossy twice blessed ass hole in it" Chris snapped at Wyatt.
"Hey if I didn't tell you what to do you'd be dead right now" Wyatt snapped back.
"I'm sorry was I the one who nearly died today" Chris snapped the fight getting louder now that not even piper could stop it.
"I've saved your ass plenty of time's Christopher" Wyatt said loudly.
"You have not and don't call me Christopher my names Chris" Chris yelled "I've never needed you to save me I could do it all on my own"
"Sure but you have to go to demons to do that," Wyatt said then stopping dead at what he had jut said.
"What! Is he talking about Chris" Piper said everything was silent now and everyone was looking at Chris.
"I'm sorry Chris" Wyatt said taking his eyes off Chris who's eyes were now frozen.
"Chris" Leo said trying to get his son to speak.
"I had to, it was the only way" Chris said sitting down on couch near him.
"You had to what Chris" Amy said quietly and very kindly "It's ok they'll understand their your family"
"I had to or they were going to kill you" Chris said pointing to Piper "It was two years ago if I didn't do what they said they were going to kill you"
"Chris you're repeating yourself" Leo said
"Come on Chris you can tell them later" Amy said quietly helping him up.
"No he needs to tell us what's going on" Piper said stepping forward.
"He'll tell you later mum," Wyatt said in a firm and over-protective voice. Piper didn't say anything just watched as Wyatt, Amy and Chris went up stairs. Once they were out of site piper turned to Leo and Paige.
"How could we not know that, why did you let him walk away like that" Piper said sounding very distressed.
"Piper calm down," Paige said before walking off to answer the phone that just rang.
"Leo how could your precious elders not know that" piper said to her husband sitting down on the same couch Chris had been sitting on moments before.
"Paige is right you need to calm down," Leo said sitting next to her and embracing her.
"No Leo I will not calm down I want to know why my baby boy has been doing deals with demons," Piper said pulling away from him as Paige joined them.
"That was Phoebe she has to work late today again so she wont be home till late" The youngest sister told them looking towards the stairs as Amy came down them.
Chris and Wyatt's bedroom"Chris I am truly so sorry I dint mean to tell them it was an accident" Wyatt apologized sitting on the end of his kid brothers bed.
"I know Wy" Chris mumbled fumbling through his draws that were next to his bed for a new shirt to sleep in.
"Why don't you just buy some pajamas?" Wyatt asked recognizing that the apologizing was over.
"Coz I don't want to I don't like them" Chris said grabbing one and pulling off the old one and quickly trying to put the new one on. But before he could Wyatt saw a big red cut on his chest and stopped him.
"What's that?" he asked holding his brothers wrist firmly.
"Get off Wyatt" Chris snapped trying to get Wyatt's hand off his wrist but failing.
"Chris what-is-it" Wyatt said again running his fingers across the deep cut to see how painful it was. And when Chris cringed and recoiled he figured it hurt a lot.
"What's it look like" Chris said going back to his annoying stubborn self.
"It looks like someone tried to stab you, that's what it looks like" Wyatt said releasing Chris from his grip.
"Well your intelligent aren't you I thought it was a burn" Chris snapped sarcastically pulling his shirt over it.
"Are you going to tell me or not" Wyatt said standing up and stepping in front of Chris who moved towards the wall.
"No" Chris said not looking at Wyatt.
"Fine at least let me heal you" Wyatt said moving closer.
"No you only just learned that it could reverse and you could kill me," Chris said.
"Very funny Chris I'm actually really good at it now," Wyatt said moving close to him, putting his hand over Chris's chest and with a golden glow healed his cut "Now just relax" he said moving his hand an putting a finger on Chris's forehead. He saw that Chris had been doing more deals with demons before Chris figured out how to block him.
"What the hell do you think your doing" Chris said moving even further towards the wall.
"You've been making more deals haven't you" Wyatt said stepping forward so he looked taller.
"What's it to you" Chris said sliding off the bed hoping to escape but doubting it. He was right before he could go anywhere Wyatt grabbed his arm again firmly.
"Wyatt get off," Chris said squirming.
"Not until you tell me what's going on, Christopher" Wyatt said just as firmly as his grip was on his baby brother.
"My name is Chris get off me," Chris said still squirming.
"Why are you dealing with demons Chris" Wyatt said tightening his grip so Chris couldn't even squirm.
"Wyatt let go your hurting me," Chris said wincing in pain
"Then tell me what's going on," Wyatt said tightening his grip, when he did this Chris sat on the bed nearly having tears in his eyes
"What do you care your never here," Chris said a tear running down his face now
"What are you talking about I'm always here for you" Wyatt said releasing his grip on his brother.
"No your not your always up there training" Chris said rubbing his arm "And dads always with you, mums always at the club, aunt Paige is always at magic school and aunt phoebe is always at the work no ones ever here for me"
Just then piper walked in.
"What are you two arguing about now" She said frowning at them as she started putting their washing in their draws.
"Nothing mum" Chris said glaring at Wyatt and then walking out the room.
"We haven't been around for him a lot have we" Wyatt asked once Chris had left.
"What do you mean honey" Piper asked putting the empty washing basket on the floor and sitting on the bed next to her eldest son.
"Chris doesn't think we're ever here for him. And I think he's right," Wyatt said looking at his mum with his really sad blue eyes "me and dad have been going up there most the time I'm not studying and you and the aunt's have all been really busy at work. We haven't really had time for him, have we?"
"I guess not" Piper said realizing it herself "He hasn't been getting into trouble has he?"
"You'll have to ask him that mum. He's mad at me more than I want him to be all ready" Wyatt said looking away so his mum couldn't see what he was thinking, she was very good at doing that even though she wasn't telepathic.
"Ok sweetie, I know how you feel but remember no matter how much you want your brother to like you if he is in big trouble you need to tell me or some one else" Piper said standing up, grabbing the washing basket and leaving the room.
Down stairs Chris was sitting in the kitchen drinking one last class of Milo before he went to bed.
"Hi sport" Leo said walking up from the basement "What are you doing?"
"Drinking Milo" Chris said emotionless
"I can see that" Leo said sitting down next to his youngest son.
"Then why'd you ask," Chris said not taking his eyes from a spot on the wall that appeared to be very interesting to him.
"What's wrong" Leo said trying to get him to look at him.
"Nothing why would you care any way" Chris snapped getting up and storming up stairs leaving Leo looking terrible.
"Oh dear I remember seeing that look 16 years ago" piper said following her son up stairs, until he was out of sight, with her eyes "What's going on"
"He hates me, that's what's going on" Leo said sadly getting up and walking up stairs himself.
"Leo he doesn't hate you" Piper said following him.
"Yes he does, I saw it in his eyes, what did I do to make him hate me so much" Leo said opening the bedroom door "I haven't been ignoring him again have I?"
"It seems we all have" piper said closing the door behind her.
