Chapter 8

"Do you think she saw us?" Chris asked looking behind him.

"Who?" Amy asked looking around him and then around the corner "your mum?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?" he asked confused

"She's coming down the road right now" she answered coming back from looking around the corner. Chris grabbed her arm and pulled her behind some bushes.

"What are you doing?" Amy asked trying to look through the bush branches.

"I don't want mum to see us, I don't know how well she'd take this whole travelling back in time thing" Chris said watching as his mothers car drive past and down the road and disappeared around the next corner.

"Right so what are we going to do now" She asked when they stood up and stepped back onto the foot path.

"We find Wyatt and we warn him" Chris said putting his hands in the pockets of his jeans.

"So where is he?" Amy asked looking around the neatly kept street.

"I don't know he went somewhere" Chris said thoughtfully.

"Obviously but where?" she asked again frustrated.

"I-can't-remember" he answered slowly as he tried to think.

"Great, does he have a day planner or anything?" she asked

"What…" Chris began before being cut off

"Right, he's a guy their not smart enough to get organised" she snapped, glaring at a nosy old women who was looking out the window and lets get out of here before nosy over there realizes what we're up to"

"What?" Chris asked before noticing the women and starting to walk down the road.

"So was he going to a friends place?" Amy suggested

"We could check" Chris said before turning to Amy "or we could just wait 'till he comes back, I think it was just after midday"

"Well what's the time now?" she asked noticing her own watch was gone

"Just after ten thirty" Chris answered looking through the window of a house and at the brown clock that hung on the wall.

"Great so we have to wait two and a half hours, that really sucks" Amy complained "can you orb us into the house?"

"Nope" he answered after grabbing her arm and trying.

"What? Why not?" Amy asked

"Not idea I just can't" Chris shrugged before remembering "maybe its cause there's already one of me in this time, so if you think about it how can two of me use the same powers"

"That's sounds so screwed" Amy said frowning "so it's probably true" shrugged and they started to walk back up to the house.

They approached the front door but before they opened it, Amy grabbed Chris's hand to stop him turning the doorknob.

"What?" he asked

"If your right about your mum not being able to handle you travelling back in time then its probably best if your aunts don't find out either" she said in a whisper

"Point taken" Chris said thoughtfully "round the back"

They crept around the side of the house, crawling under the windows and around to the door that went into the laundry and then the kitchen.

"Is this the only other way into the house?" Amy asked, trying to open the door but finding it was locked.

"Nope, follow me" he whispered starting to walk to the back yard.

"This had better be worth it," Amy mumbled angrily to herself as she looked down at the ground. They were now climbing up the side of the house because all the doors were locked and they couldn't get in any other way. Amy almost screamed when she felt her foot slip.

"Shh" Chris hissed as she put her foot back in place

"Easy for you to say, bet you've done this loads of time before" she snapped pulling herself to the window and looked in cautiously "coast's clean"

Amy pulled herself through the window and collapsed on the floor, only moving when she saw Chris come over the windowsill.

"That's was too hard, if you ever try to make me do that again, I will kill you" she said as she gasped for air.

"Ah come on it wasn't that hard," Chris said after a few seconds of trying to get his breathe back.

"You really do have a death wish don't you," Amy snapped pulling herself onto the bed closest to her and shutting her eyes.

She woke up when Chris started poking her head.

"What?" she asked groggily as she sat up.

"Quick someone's coming" Chris whispered urgently

"What? Why didn't you wake me before" Amy whispered back angrily, more from being woken than not being woken sooner. He ran into the closet and closed the door so it was only open a fraction, so they could see through. They saw Piper walk through the door with a washing basket full of clothes, and start putting them away.

"Your mum puts your clothes away," Amy, said trying to keep back a giggle. Chris didn't say anything he just watched, red faced, until she left the room with the, now, empty washing basket. They were just about to leave the closet when the door opened again. They froze with the door half open hoping that whoever was there wouldn't notice them. No such luck. Wyatt stopped staring at them shocked when he saw the two teenagers in the closet, looking as shocked as he was.

"I don't wanna know" Wyatt finally said, starting to open the door again. He paused when it was opened and stared wide-eyed into the hall.

"What?" a voice asked defensively, Amy immediately recognised it as Chris's voice.

"Oh no" was all she could manage to say as Wyatt pulled Chris into the bedroom and pointing to the closet where future Chris and Amy were still standing in shock. Present Amy gasped when she saw herself in the closet and put her hand over her mouth.

"This is not good" Future Chris said into Future Amy's ear.

"Really, how long'd it take you to work that out?" Amy asked sarcastically.

"What the hell's going on?" Past Amy asked

"We can explain" Future Chris said quickly.

"Yeah you better be able to" Piper said walking into the room with an angry look on her face "now which two of you are from the future?"

"Us" Future Amy answered pointing to future Chris.

"And why are you here?" She asked "and no lying"

"Why would we lie to you mum?" Future Chris asked curiously "does it have something to do with that phone call with Aunt Phoebe earlier on?"

"What have I told you about listening in on my calls" Piper snapped

"Don't listen to my phone calls Chris" Both future and past Chris said mimicking pipers voice.

"Funny you two" Piper hissed sarcastically "now why are you here?"

"Well it's nothing really…" Future Chris started

"Yeah nothing too important"…" Amy added, knowing that as soon as Piper found out why they were there she'd explode.

"We just have to, you know, save Wyatt" Chris mumbled the last part and tried to leave the room quickly.

"YOU WHAT!" Piper screamed "oh no he hasn't turned evil again has he?"

"What? No. he's turned evil before?" Chris said shocked

"What do you need to save him from then?" Piper asked, ignoring Chris's last question.

From death" Chris answered
