Chapter 9

"What the hell…?" Chris asked surprised.

Then he got pale. "Oh no." he said and he made a move with his hand – to use his telekinese powers – but anything happened.

"No… No, no." Chris said. He immediately opened the door and ran through the corridor to the conversation room.

He found Richard's partner studying a map.

"Jason… I need your help." Chris said out of breath.

"Chris, you should rest… not sleeping isn't good for you." Jason said.

"Oh, I slept… I had a really great sleep." Chris said sarcastically.

Jason looked at him confused.

"Do me favor… call Richard, Kyle, Pee and Lil… please. I need them immediately." Chris said and went over to the screens.

He talked to one of the witches, that was talking care of everything and the witch made a move with the hand and Chris could see in fast motion the last hours of his sleep… Nothing spectacular happened, until Chris saw himself mumbling something. He asked the witch to repeat it… a second later he heard himself mumbling: "Wyatt?"

"Damn it… this son of a bitch." Chris said angrily, just as Richard, Lil and Pee materialized in and Kyle orbed in – all totally alarmed.

"What happened?" Richard immediately asked Chris.

Chris pointed to the table in the middle of the room and he and the others including Jason went over there… after they all sat down the blue shield rose up.

"Chris?" Lil asked concerned and tired.

Chris closed his eyes for a few seconds until he relaxed. Then he turned around to the others and tried to say it as calm as possible.

"Wyatt bound my powers." He said.

The others looked at him shocked.

"What?" Pee whispered.

Chris made a rush move with his hand, but nothing happened. "Wyatt. Bound. My. Powers" Chris pronounced each word.

"But how?" Jason asked confused. "Wyatt shouldn't be able to cast a spell through the protection spells." He said.

"Who cares… he did it… that means I am useless… and that means that I won't be able to bring the Charmed Ones home. I won't be able to cast the spell to get back…" Chris said frustrated.

"You are sure? I mean with the spell stuff?" Pee asked.

"What's mine is yours, What's yours is mine, Let our powers cross the line. I offer up my gift to share, Switch our powers through the air.." Chris said bored as he grabbed Pee's hand. "See…" he added as nothing happened.

"It would have been not funny… by the way." Pee said as she took back her hand fast.

"One of you has to go with the sisters." Chris said.

"Why don't you just use the potions?" Kyle asked.

"In case they don't work… I won't be able to defend myself." Chris said.

"Oh Wyatt always knows how to piss us off." Pee said angrily.

"If you want… I can go." Lil offered.

Chris sighed. "It's all my fault… I never wanted to bring you in such a situation." He said.

"Hey… no depressive mood, please… if it's anybody's fault , it's Wyatt's so stop your self-pity." Pee ordered.

Chris had to smirk.

"Okay… the best is to keep this information from everybody… also Clara." Richard said with a look towards Kyle. "We don't want to cause panic. And you all are going to search for an antidote for the power stripping." He ordered.

They all nodded. Kyle took Chris arm and orbed out with him. Pee orbed after him and Lil was the last one who disappeared.

Kyle and Chris orbed into the magic room and a few seconds later Pee appeared too.

The three went over to the bookcase to take out a few books. That was when they noticed that Lil hasn't followed.

"Where is Lil?" Kyle asked surprised… Suddenly Pee and Kyle sensed a force field and Chris could see their faces.

"Oh, no… Lil." Chris said shocked. He could imagine what she was doing. "Bring me to Leo, … our Leo." He said fast and Kyle immediately grabbed his hand and orbed out and Pee followed them.

They just wanted to orb and materialize into Leo's infirmary, they were all thrown back against the wall.

"Ahh…" Pee said and touched her back and stomach – she had landed hard. "This little witch…" she added angrily.

But Chris was faster. He immediately got up and ran towards the force field. As expected he got through it easily, and so did Pee and Kyle – who had followed.

They were all shocked to see Lil beating Leo – in full rage.

"… I trusted you… how could you do that? … He is your son… I hate you." Lil cried.

Chris could see how angry she was and he saw her holding up her fist and open her hand …

"NO!" Chris yelled and pushed Lil down. He grabbed for both of her arms and hold them tight. "Don't… please… he isn't worth it." Chris whispered into Lil's ear.

"He… he…" Lil sobbed.

"Shh… it's okay… everything is okay." Chris calmed her down.

Lil looked totally exhausted.

Kyle helped Leo up, who wasn't hurt hard, but nevertheless bleeding.

"I swear I have no idea how you could lose your powers." Leo said to Chris, but he didn't pay attention to him, but he said to Kyle: "Could you bring us to the ROOM, please?"

Kyle nodded and with a gesture Chris and Lil were surrounded by a white and blue light. As they disappeared Pee and Kyle left the room too and locked the room behind them. Leaving a totally desperate Leo behind.

Chris was rocking Lil back and forth. Tears were running down her face.

"I am so sorry, Chris … I totally lost it… I have no idea what's going on." She whispered.

"Don't worry. Nothing happened. I understand it… as I said… it's your decision." Chris said.

"But not in that situation… if you hadn't stop me… I … I … I love you Chris… I don't want to lose you." She said.

"I love you too Lil… I love you too." He said… until she was sleeping.

He softly brushed through her hair and then he whispered into her ear: "Bring us into your room."

And while Lil was dreaming, she materialized herself and Chris into her room.

Chris carried her and softly placed her into her bed… just as if she was a little girl.

"Good night Lil." Chris said and left the room quietly.

He went to the Magic Room… where Kyle and Pee were already reading books.

"How is she?" Pee asked concerned.

"She is sleeping." Chris answered.

"What was it anyway? Did you want to protect Leo … or did you fear Lil could regret it?" Kyle asked.

Pee hit him.

"What? Don't tell me you don't want to know." He said.

"Just… don't talk about it, all right? It actually doesn't matter." Chris said and the other two just nodded. Chris also took one book and they all began to read.

The next morning they all awoke in the Magic Room. They had fallen asleep over the books. Just as they awoke Jason (Dean) entered with a tray full of food.

"Morning." He said.

"Morning." Pee said, half asleep.

"Where is Lil?" Jason asked surprised.

"I guess in her bed." Kyle said.

"Didn't you watch the monitors? She had a battle with Leo." Chris said as he ate bread.

"What?" Jason asked shocked and concerned.

"Don't worry. She is fine. Chris stopped her from doing something stupid." Pee said.

Jason sighed relieved.

"What's with the sisters?" Chris asked Jason.

"Darryl is picking them up. How far are you with the spells and potion?" Jason answered.

"Our problem is, that we have no idea what kind of spell Wyatt used. It's hard to find an antidote for an unknown poison… especially if your enemy is Wyatt." Kyle said.

"And we are pretty sure that Wyatt hasn't used an easy spell – I mean the spell did went through the protection shield." Pee added.

"So Lil is going with the Charmed Ones?" Jason asked.

"I am not sure that …" Chris started but was interrupted by Lil, who just materialized in.

"I am totally fine… I can handle it." She said. The others nodded.

"Fine, so let's get over with it. We can only hope that Wyatt won't attack us anytime soon." Kyle said.

"Yes, HOPE is really the right word." Pee said and they all stood up to go to the conversation room.

But in one corridor Chris suddenly stopped. "Go ahead already!" Chris ordered the others. "I forgot something important… give me five minutes."

The others gave him a questioning look, but finally they left him alone and Chris went through a door. He came into a room, which actually looked like a park. Chris knew that there were a few Wood Nymphs here in the park, but he noticed with a bad feeling that he couldn't see them. On a bench a little bit deeper in the park he could see Richard – as expected.
Not saying a world, Chris sat down next to him.

"She would have loved this place… She loved the nature." Richard said.

"You could say goodbye." Chris simply said.

"You can't see them right?" Richard only said.

Chris kept silent.

"It seems as if it is a bigger problem then we thought, right?" Richard said.

"I told them I would come in a few minutes. So… what do you think?" Chris said, but as he didn't get an answer he kept on talking. "This world is hell… nobody would blame you, if you would say goodbye." Chris said.

"Could you say goodbye?" Richard asked calm.

Chris kept quiet… memories came back into his mind.

"Wyatt. Take your little brother and your cousins to the basement… Now!" Piper yelled to her oldest son as she let the next demon explode, who simply reformed again the next second.

The children who wanted to help their parents to fight the demons refused to follow their orders, so the CharmedOnes had no other choice then to back away and push the children into the direction of the basement.

"This is not a game, damn it… Wyatt. I need you to bring them down. Now. Everything is going to be fine, but they are our concern. Now go!" Piper said angrily and pushed Chris – who just used his telekinese powers to throw a demon against the wall – in Wyatt's arms and he had no other choice then to pull him and his other cousins into the basement… "Mom… no!" Chris yelled…

That was the last time Chris had seen his mother alive. Chris shivered

But Chris knew that he owed Richard an answer, so he whispered: "No."

Richard kept quiet for another second. It was the first time that Chris had mentioned something about his mother's death – since all these years.

"Chris … I know you are taking the future consequences thing very serious – your parents taught you well… but you are young. You can't even imagine what could really change. In case I say goodbye to her, she might suggest that we can find a solution for my problems – or she might even accept the fact that I use magic so often. She won't break up with me and she won't strip my powers… this person wouldn't be me. I don't want that – how idyllic it may sound. I need to be who I am. To protect you all… until you accept to be the leader. Not having any powers and the break up with Paige – it made me who I am. I can't risk that." Richard explained.

Chris sighed.

"And Jason, Pee and Kyle don't go either. And you know that." Richard said.

"This family loves to hurt itself, doesn't it?" Chris said sarcastically.

"No. We only want to protect each other and we want to survive. You know it yourself." Richard said. "Now go. They are waiting." He added.

Chris slowly stood up and looked at Richard. "Do you think I shouldn't send Lil? Do you think I am making a mistake?" Chris asked.

"I think you have no other choice." Richard said with a sad look.

As Chris entered the conversation room, the sisters and Leo were already waiting with Darryl next to the door they had come in two days before. On the other side of the hall he could see Jason, Pee, Kyle and Lil standing.

"What took you so long?" Phoebe asked grumpy.

"We changed our plan. I won't go with you. A friend of mine is going with you in your time and she will come back immediately." Chris explained.

Although the sisters and Leo didn't welcome Chris as a friend, they nevertheless got used to him – had somehow accepted him… and now they were shocked by the sudden goodbye.

Nevertheless Piper only asked: "What about Wyatt?"

Chris flinched as he heard her words. "You know about the threat. I am sure you can handle it." He said a little bit annoyed.

"But…" Piper started, but Chris cut her off. "I did what I could. Now you have to take care of it on your own." He just said and gave Lil a sign to come.

Lil came near and Leo recognized her as the girl who had healed him two days ago, just as he had arrived here. He smiled at her and thrust out his hand to her.

"Hello. I just wanted to say thank you for saving my life two days ago." He said.

She shook his hand fast, but pulled back her immediately again and she didn't say a word.

Chris looked at her – he couldn't blame her… he knew how she felt… he remembered the first time he had real contact with them in the past.
"Her name is … Lil … she will bring you back." Chris explained.

"Hello Lil." Piper, Phoebe and Paige said unison.

Chris actually had to keep him from giggling, as it sounded like some Anonymous Alcoholic group welcoming.

But Lil flinched. "Just get over with this as fast as possible." She said as she turned around to Chris.

But Piper became angry. "You know… you all really don't have to act so impolite. I mean did you forgot what the word manners means? The whole time we were here, we were treated like … I don't know – crap. We seem to annoy everybody by each action we do…" Piper said, while her sisters and Leo looked at her shocked.

But Piper couldn't finish her outburst, as she was interrupted by loud and surprised voices. Everybody turned around, only to see with shock, that some chairs were flying in the air and that they were somehow dancing with each other.

Chris could see Pee and Kyle in the crowed of witches and he knew that they all thought the same.

But slowly the chairs landed on the floor again.

"Okay… we need to bring you home as fast as possible." Chris said as he turned around to the sisters and Leo again.

"Was that Wyatt? Is he attacking?" Phoebe asked.

"It doesn't matter for you." Chris said and opened the door to the small room. But Lil hold him back as he wanted to enter.

"No." She said with a smile.

"What?" Chris asked surprised, but also rude because he wanted the sisters back in their time as fast as possible.

"Don't you see it? The chairs… It's not Wyatt or one of his demons." Lil said.

Chris gave her a questioning look. "What are you talking about?" he asked totally confused.

"We can't send the sisters back in their time, or we are screwed." Lil only answered. "Wait here!" Lil ordered the sisters and Leo and she gave Darryl a sign to stay with them.

She pulled Chris with her, to Pee, Kyle and Jason.

"What is?" Pee asked surprised.

"I know what Wyatt has done to Chris." Lil said still smiling.

"Lil… could you please hurry?" Chris said impatient.

"To make it short. Your spell fulfilled his purpose already and Wyatt used it for his advantage." Lil said.

"What spell?" Chris asked and then it hit him. "But…what is he, a few hours old? … What powers would he have?" Chris asked shocked, but Lil gave him a look which said 'you can't be so stupid'… and Chris sighed. That was when Pee and Kyle finally understood it too.

"Ohh!" Pee said and had to smile too.

"Could somebody please tell me, what the hell you are talking about." Jason asked nerved.

"Piper is pregnant… And I think Wyatt used the exact moment, as Baby Chris was conceived to say his spell, because in that moment mini Chris would claim for his powers, which would weaken Chris powers for a second. And this magical-fight allowed Wyatt to go

through the protection shield… I mean Chris created the strongest shield to protect this base. And I think that Wyatt simply allowed Baby Chris to have his powers – instead of our Chris." Lil explained.

"You are sure?" Richard asked – who had heard the surprised voices and had joined the little group as Lil had started to explain – and watched the CharmedOnes suspiciously.

"Pretty sure… Piper was angry and suddenly the chairs started to dance, it's definitely some kind of telekinese power and it's childish." Lil said.

"Oh now I know why you solved this problem." Pee said with a smirk, while Lil glared back at her.

"And remember our powers are tied to our emotions… and Mom told me, that she and her sisters had all the 'baby power involving' problem… and only one part of us in one time is allowed to have his powers, like Baby Wyatt lost his powers… and it's just clever – typical for Wyatt." Lil finished her substantiation.

"That means, that we can't send them back. If we send them back now, it could mean that you will maybe never get your powers back and then your Baby self will maybe get the double of it. In case it makes any sense." Pee said a little confused.

"Wouldn't it more be: if the baby has the double power then Chris would have the double too?" Lil intervened.

"Okay… we all know that time traveling is complicated… but I agree. Sending them back could really mean losing your powers." Richard said.

"So it's the question what exactly Wyatt planned. Is his plan to keep the CharmedOnes, Leo and Baby him here or that I lose my powers?" Chris asked, without expecting an answer.
