Chapter Two: A Visitor from the Future

The Past...some time while Chris was there.

The door to the manor opened and the voices of three women filled the empty house. They laughed and joked about as sisters would. The jingling noise of a certain whitelighter was heard coming from the living room. Once the girls heard the familiar sound they rolled their eyes and groaned. Paige, Phoebe, and Piper walked in the large room with shopping bags in their hands. Chris stood on the other side of the room with his arms crossed over his chest. He tapped his foot lightly and stared at the sisters as if they were young children who were caught in the cookie jar.

"Where have you three been?" he asked as he looked down at their currently occupied hands. The girls piled the tons of bags beside the couch and sat down.

"We went shopping, what does it look like?" Paige commented.

"Yeah, we were having some good ole sister time." Phoebe said smiling at her sisters. Chris sighed and paced the room. His hands behind his back. Choosing his words carefully. He may be the Charmed Ones whitelighter, but his mom still had power over him. He stopped and looked down at them.

"We have a mission. Clearly, you three mistook what that is. We have to find out-"

"...the demon that drives Wyatt evil..yes we know honey." Piper cut him off, sounding tired and irritated at hearing the same thing over and over. "But we also have a life, Chris. We can't keep going on demon hunts, hoping to vanquish the right one. Wyatt is safe for the time being, allow us some time to enjoy ourselves while every thing is calm." she finished.

Chris let out a long and frustrated breath. The girls mimicked him and then laughed in union. This being a normal routine for them all. Phoebe got up and gave Paige a hand. They remarked that they had new clothes to try on. Phoebe had to be at a meeting around three and Paige had a date with another guy tonight. Chris watched them go and then turned to Piper. His mother smiled at him as a mother would when she gazed at her son's attempts to make them do anything.

"Give yourself a break, Chris. Nothing is going to happen right now. Enjoy the peace while it last." Piper stood up and walked over to her son. She pecked him on the cheek and walked up to her room with her bags. The whitelighter watched her go as he did his aunts before. He knew they were right on some level, but also knew that time was running out. Wyatt had to be stopped or the future was endanger and thousands of innocents would be lost. Chris orbed to the attic, to find the next potential demon they had to vanquish.

Later that night, the girls and Chris stood waiting in the underworld. He had convinced them that he would give them some time off after this last vanquish. They hid behind a large pillars watching as a demon cult prepare for some ritual. Scream and cries came from a young woman as the drug her towards the alter. Two of the demons began to strap her down, while the others chanted. Chris was about to motion them to go as the demon held up a dagger at the screaming woman. Out of now where the voice of another young woman shouted out the weirdest saying.

"MOON PRISM POWER!"

A bright blinding light flashed throughout the ritual room and the demons' piercing cry of pain was loud enough to make everyone cover their ears. When the light dimmed and faded out, the Charmed Ones and Chris glanced up at the scene. The human sacrifice was being untied by another woman with long golden hair in a style of buns on top of her head. Her outfit was of a short blue fuku, red knee high boots, a tight white top with a large red bow between her breast. In the middle of the bow, held a small broach that glittered and shined. On the woman's forehead was a golden tiara with a golden crescent moon jewel imprinted in the middle. She had white gloves that went up to her elbow, now dirty from touched the alter. Her earnings were also golden crescent moons. In one of her hands was a long pink scepter with a, yet again, another large crescent moon that had many designs embedded on it. To much of their surprise, the young woman looked like one of those anime fanatics that dressed up as their favorite characters. Even her scepter looked like a child's toy. She had large, wide crystal blue eyes that carried concern for the victim. The blonde wrapped her arms around the woman and comforted her as she sobbed in her care.

"Don't worry. You're safe now. Non of those things will ever hurt you."

As the gorgeous blonde woman turned around, Chris got a good look at her. He blinked several times trying to make sure he saw right. When his eyes confirmed that it was the real thing, his mind registered many questions as why the hero would be here. He stood up and him and the blonde met, hazel eyes with blue eyes. Piper, Paige, and Phoebe took his cue and did the same, glaring back in forth at the two. Chris, although cool and calm on the outside, was shaking in fear as he watched the woman. If she was back, that meant there was a problem. The whitelighter stepped towards the two women, he laid a hand on the crying woman.

"You're going home."

Bright blue and white lights formed around the victim and soon she was gone. Chris and the woman were now face to face, in silence. She smiled at him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Hello Chris. Miss me?" she said cheerfully.

"Not by much, Serena." he said in a monotone voice.
