Chris's New Charge
Chris Halliwell got out of the shower and grabbed a towel, drying himself off quickly. He grabbed his clothes and got dressed, then blew his hair dry with the hair dryer. Running his hands through his dark brown hair he ran downstairs into the kitchen where Piper was cooking breakfast. "Good morning, honey! Are you excited about today?" she asked. Chris grinned and gave her a kiss on her cheek. "You bet, Mom! Today's a special day!" he replied, getting a glass of orange juice. Piper set a plate of eggs and toast in front of him and he started eating. "Where's Wyatt?" he asked in between bites.
Piper said, "Your brother's over at Bianca's place, going through bridal magazines. Your dad's at work, as are both Phoebe and Paige, and I am going to P3 as soon as I get this place cleaned up." Chris smiled as he got up, looking at the clock. "I can't believe I get my first charge today, this is so cool! Bye Mom, love you!" he called as he ran upstairs to brush his teeth before leaving. When he was done, he orbed to a small alley by his charge's apartment. Making sure he got the number right, he walked into the building and up a flight of stairs. As he approached, he heard an angry male voice coming from number 8 and a frightened female voice answering. "I know you came into your powers and I want them now!" "No, you can't take them! Now leave before I'm forced to hurt you!" He responded with a laugh. "You can't hurt me princess, but I can hurt you!"
Realizing she was in trouble, Chris orbed into the apartment, surprising the tall, beefy guy towering over a beautiful blond woman. "Hey, leave her alone!" he yelled, telekinetically throwing him into a wall. The guy got up slowly and shook his head. "I'll be back!" he said before shimmering out. Chris ran over to the woman and took her hands. "Are you ok, Christine?" Christine nodded, looking at the very cute man who'd just saved her. "Yes, thank you! Wait, how do you know me, and how did you know I was in trouble?" Chris replied, "I'm Chris Halliwell, you're my new charge! I was supposed to come here and meet you, remember?"
Christine smiled at Chris. "Nice to meet you, Chris! I'm sorry you had to meet Claude, I had no idea he'd show up! So, what do we do now?" Chris said, "Why don't you tell me about Claude and how you met him. Is he a demon?" Christine blushed, ashamed. "Yes, although he didn't tell me that at first. We started dating about three months ago, and I broke it off just recently. He acted really weird and possessive, bringing up magical powers and stuff, he asked me what I would do if I found out I was a witch, that sort of thing. I just found out yesterday about my powers, and today he shows up, threatening to kill me if I don't give them to him! I'm glad you showed up when you did, I'm not skilled at fighting demons!" she explained the situation, looking into Chris's green eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll train you so you can kick major butt!" Chris told her, winking at her. She smiled at him again and he realized how pretty her eyes were, a soft blue. He realized he was staring and looked away briefly. "Ok, first thing why don't you tell me what your powers are so I know what we have to work with." Christine had noticed him staring and moved closer a bit. He was definetly cute! "Well, I'm telekinetic, like you, and I also have temporal stasis, which I think means I can freeze things and people. I discovered I had that power by accident, my cat was shredding my couch and I went to grab her, and I froze her! It was the funniest sight!" Chris laughed with her, then took her hand. "Do you have a Book of Shadows or any other magical books?" he asked. Christine nodded. "Yes, my mother left it for me. I had no idea she was a witch, she never used her powers!" Going to her bookshelf, she pulled out a book with a blue cover and the symbol of a circle on the front. Giving it to Chris, she watched as he flipped through it quickly then looked at her. "First thing, we need to find out how well you can use your powers, then we'll work on training you in them. Ready?" he asked.
