"LEO! Get your Elder ass down here now!" Piper yelled. Usually Piper had it all under control but sometimes she lost it. And this time she'd lost it BIG time. Suddenly the room was full of swirling white lights and her ex-husband stood in front of her in the Manor's attic. Before he even had the chance to say anything, she slapped him hard across the face. Just then Chris Perry walked in.
"About time someone did that to him. I'm just glad I was there to see it happen!" he said smirking at Leo.
"Chris! Leave right now! Before I blow you up!" Piper ordered lifting her hands up as to threaten him some more. She already had enough to deal with and she didn't need Chris to meddle in her affairs. Especially not now!
Chris quickly disappeared in a swirl of white orbs.
"Piper what's wrong? What did I do?" Leo asked stroking his bright red cheek. You could clearly see Piper's handprint on it.
"Don't even start with the whole 'I'm innocent' act! I know what you've been doing! How dare you think that I need to be protected by demons! ME! What the hell is wrong with you Leo Wyatt!"
"Piper I really have NO idea what you're talking about! Tell me exactly what happened!" Leo tried to explain. "I'll only understand if you tell me what's going on!"
"You put up a shield around the house didn't you! Didn't you! Why... No HOW could you do something like that without even asking us!" By now Piper was literally screaming and Paige and Phoebe were standing in the doorway listening.
Leo didn't say anything; he looked deeply lost in thought. But Piper took this as a sign of confession and continued battering him with insults. When Leo finally came back from La-La Land he only said one thing and orbed out.
"…Chris…"
"What did he mean by 'Chris'? Why does Leo blame everything on the poor kid? I mean sure he is a little mysterious but everything he's done so far has been to help us! Right?" Paige defended Chris.
"Yeah Paige! I agree with you but still, it would be helpful if Chris stopped and told us why he does some of the things he does." Piper argued softly.
"Piper he can't he has to think about- " Paige got interrupted.
"Future consequences! Yeah we know but he owes it to us to tell us SOME things! He can't just expect us to believe everything he tells us! How long does he expect us to play along with him?" Phoebe accused.
"Why don't you just ask me if you want to know these things so badly!" Chris replied curtly. " If you seriously want to the true hell of the world I live in why didn't you just ask? If I'd known you want to know so badly I would have just told you! But I seriously doubt you would have believed me though!"
Chris had walked in without anyone even noticing and had heard everything that had just been said. And he seemed a bit upset about it too.
"Really? And what reason do we have to believe you? Have you ever shown us any reason to even trust you! You wouldn't even have told us that you were half-witch if that Bianca bitch hadn't showed up!" Phoebe yelled.
"Don't you dare talk about her that way! That only reason I'm alive today is because of her!" Chris boomed.
"Oh! So it's her fault that you're still here! Should've guessed, we can't be that lucky! As to seriously think that you would ever leave!" Phoebe continued to scream.
"Shut up guys! Stop fighting! You'll wake up Wyatt!" Paige tried to calm both of them down.
"As if I really care what happens to him! You really want to know why I came back! It's so that Wyatt doesn't become the monster he is today! I'm not trying to save from some other evil; I'm trying to save him from becoming evil! That's right! You're precious little Wyatt turns out to become the world's most evil demon!" Chris practically exploded.
The entire attic suddenly went quiet, and the air was filled with an awkward stillness. Chris' eyes widened as he realized what he had just done, he opened his mouth to explain but was silenced by the glare Piper shot at him.
"You're lying! You're lying aren't you! I won't believe you!" Phoebe started. Paige was still in shock from the news and was just staring out into nothing.
"No… Phoebe listen. I ca-" Chris started but was interrupted.
"Leave! Just get out of my house now! I don't care where you go, but leave!" Piper said softly, almost a whisper.
When she turned around to look at Chris she saw what she thought to be hurt and pain in his green eyes, but in a second it was replaced by the same cold hard stare he usually had. And with just a twirl of bright orbs he was gone.
It had been a couple of days now and none of the sisters had heard anything from Chris, not that they really cared. If it was up to them, they wouldn't care if the never saw him again.
Two days after the incident in the attic, Leo orbed into the Manor during breakfast time and decided that enough time had passed since Piper had exploded on him.
"Piper? Paige? Phoebe? Is anyone home?" Leo called around. He was starting to get a little worried, he hadn't heard from the sisters for a couple of days now. But his troubled mind was soon put to rest as he heard Wyatt's happy gurgles from the kitchen.
"Leo what do you want now? I don't want to talk to you right now! Not after what Chris told me." Piper started.
"So it was Chris who told you about the shield I put up around the house! I knew it! I knew that I couldn't trust him! " Leo stated.
"Leo, don't be too hard on yourself! Turns out none of us can trust him!" Phoebe said sleepily, "You won't believe the crap he told us after you left!"
"Phoebe it could be that maybe he wasn't lying! What if he was telling the truth?" Paige retorted.
"Paige, are you trying to tell us that you seriously believe that my son is going to grow up to become the source of all evil?" Piper growled warningly.
"Wait! WHAT? The source of all evil? Our son? Wyatt, the source of all evil? When did that happen?" Leo started to shout.
"Leo calm down! It's just another lie Chris told us! But this time we won't be falling for it!" Phoebe informed Leo. "I think that Chris is probably the 'great evil' he was telling us about!"
"Where's the little bastard now?" Leo asked.
"Oh, we don't really know! Piper here threw him out! He doesn't have anyplace to go, any sort of income, and he's from the future! But does Piper care about that? NOO! She just threw him out of the Manor!" Paige blamed her oldest sister.
"Careful there Paige! We might even think that you're on his side! But seriously though, why would you go against your whole family for him!" Phoebe sneered.
"You know what! I'll be on my 'family's' side just as soon as they start treating me like it! Ever since y'all brought me here, all you've ever done is compare me to Prue! Prue this, and Prue that!" Paige was on the verge of tears now. "I'm sick of being compared to what a great witch and what a great sister Prue was!"
"Paige! Now you know that isn't true! We love you!" Piper soothed.
"That's bull! Like hell y'all do! If you did then maybe I wouldn't feel like this today! You know what! Just screw this! Just screw it! I'm gonna go find Chris, someone has to!"
And with that outburst, Paige orbed out of the Manor. The last thing she saw was her older sisters' eye bright and full of tears. She didn't really know where to start so she went to P3 to calm down a bit. When she orbed in, she just broke down. In a couple of minutes there were free tears flowing down her cheeks and chin.
Suddenly, she heard yelling and shouting from the corner closet, Chris' office. She stood up wiping her face and walked over to the door. Gently opening the door, she looked in. Chris was thrashing around on the old couch that they had put in there. She hurried over to him and softly started to stroke his forehead, trying to soothe him. He seemed to quiet down a bit but suddenly he straightened up screaming and crying!
"Chris! Don't worry! I'm right here!" Paige assured him.
"Auntie Paige! Thank god you're here! I had the same nightmare again. He's back! Do something Auntie Paige!" Chris sounded frantic but his voice seemed like a child's.
