Chapter 2- Where's Chris

Suddenly the intersection came back to life and the truck flew towards them.

"Get off the road! Now!" Piper yelled at Wyatt as she wrapped her arms around Chris and pulled him out of the car. Piper started to run to the side of the road where the crowd had gathered. But before she reached the side the truck collided with her car. The collision as the cars collided was deafening.

The truck pushed the car in the direction Piper was running.

Only a person crying out alerted Piper to the immediate danger. Piper turned to see the car heading towards her at lighting speed.

Wyatt's cry filled the streets as the car streamed toward his mother. A person in the crowd held him back from running out to her.

Piper turned around and braced for the impact, knowing running was useless. She wished Chris were somewhere safer. Suddenly Piper felt the familiar sense of orbing and looked down at her youngest son.

Piper and Chris disappeared in a swirl of white and blue lights just as the car slid over where they were standing and exploded.

"MOM!!!" Wyatt screamed tears falling recklessly form his eyes. "CHRIS!" He felt weak and fell to his knees in front of the women who had been holding him back.

Piper reappeared behind the car. She looked down at her arms expecting to see Chris awake there. But he wasn't. He wasn't in her arms; he was gone. Her arm of her jacket was soaked in the blood from his wound. She looked around widely, tears flinging everywhere.

Wyatt stood up he sensed his mother. He ran behind the car and saw Piper standing there.

"MOM!" He cried happily running towards her and hugging her tightly.

Piper bent down and returned his embrace.

"Are you okay Wyatt?" She asked.

Wyatt nodded. Then he noticed Chris wasn't there. "Mom? Where's Chris?"

Before Piper could answer him another small explosion caused a large shard of glass to embed it's self in Pipers leg and a piece of metal to knock her unconscious.

Piper woke up in the hospital the next day. Paige and Phoebe were sitting beside her both crying.

"Ph-pheobe? Paig-ge?" Piper asked blinking to focus her vision.

"PIPER!" Both of the cried at the same time; Happy that there sister was okay.

"How are you doing?" Paige asked in a half whisper.

"Sore. Very sore." Piper answered. Something was nagging at the back of her head; like she was forgetting something.

Phoebe chuckled glad that her sister was back to making jokes, but she knew it wasn't a joke.

"Where's Leo?" Piper asked anxious to see him.

"Out in the hall waiting to see to see you." Phoebe replied with a smile.

Piper smiled then her smile turned to a frown. "And Wyatt? And Chris? Oh God where's Chris?" She remembered rematerializing without him in her arms.

"Honey clam down." Paige pleaded. "Wyatt's out in the hall with Leo, his arm was broken and Chris… Chris is…" tears started to well up in her eyes again. When the police had come to talk to them, They said that Piper and Wyatt were find, but when Phoebe asked about Chris, they said that only two of them were out of the vehicle.

Phoebe put a comforting arm around her younger sister shoulders.

"Honey, they didn't find Chris." Phoebe explained. New tears forming in her own eyes. "They said only the two of you made it out alive. They searched the car for any sign of human remains and they didn't find any."

Piper let out a loud gasp. "No, no, no. That's not true. He orbed us out of the way of the car. He got us- me to safety but when I looked down at him he was gone." She looked down into her arms and hugged herself.

"Oh, sweetie, We're so sorry. But we looked for him, we scryed for him, heck we even asked the elders if they knew where he was, but we couldn't find him." Paige said sitting back down.

"Well try again!" Piper snapped, crying.

Phoebe excused herself from the room. The emotions were getting too much for her. When she closed the door behind her Leo stood up.

"How is she?" He asked worry etched across his face, and tear stains visible on his cheek.

"She's awake." Phoebe sollowed, but her mouth felt dry as a bone. "Nothing on Chris either."

Leo's face paled as he looked to the ground.

"I'm sorry Leo. We'll try everything." She went up and hugged him then bent down to hug a petrified Wyatt.
