Then Paige realized that he must think that he was a child again. Then it all became clear to her. How Chris could touch the Book of Shadows, why he had come back to save Wyatt, how he knew so much about the sisters!
For some strange reason her heart swelled up with pride and love, but then it was filled with unexpected sorrow. How could she not have seen it? Piper's hair, Leo's eyes, the stubbornness that runs in the family. Phoebe's smirk, and Paige's smile. But right now all that was depicted on Chris' face was pure horror! Probably at the fact that his dear aunt had found out who he truly was.
"…umm… Paige look I –" Chris began but stopped. He was looking at Paige's face, she was grinning ear to ear. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I knew it! I knew that you were related to us! But Piper and Leo's son!" Paige squealed.
"Hey! I never said that I was Piper and Leo's son! I could be Phoebe's!" Chris teased.
"Yeah right! You totally have Leo's eyes! Plus, now that I think about it you and Piper do have similar traits. But I knew that you were a relative! Why else would you come back all this way just to save Wyatt! He's lucky to have such a caring younger brother! Oh, wait! If you're Piper and Leo's second son, then when are you supposed to be… you know?" Paige finally stopped.
Chris looked a little lost for a second but then panic came into his eyes. "OH MY GOD! I completely forgot! Damn it! How could I let this happen! Ew! I don't even want to think of Mom and Dad that way!" he yelled. "Aunt Paige, you can't tell ANYONE about this! And I mean anyone! Not even Phoebe! Especially not Phoebe or Piper!"
"What about Leo? Can he know the truth?" Paige asked quietly, knowing there was something wrong between Chris and Leo.
"Even if you did, it's not as if he'd believe you! He never did believe anything I told him." Chris' voice started to crack. "He was never there for me! Never!"
Paige wanted to ask more but decided against it, Chris looked pretty weak! So instead she just held him and he let it all out. All the pain he had kept bottled up inside just flowed out freely with his tears. And Paige cried with him, with her newest friend, with her nephew.
MEANWHILE AT THE MANOR
"I CANNOT believe that Paige is on Chris' side! Sure, pity is one thing but I have the power of empathy and I still don't feel sympathy for him! I just can't believe that she chose him over us!" Phoebe was ranting, and hadn't shut up for the past 2 hours.
"I bet he put some sort of spell on her! Only leave it up to someone as despicable as Chris to do something like this!" Leo offered. "He banished me at that awful place!"
"You aren't saying anything! What's wrong? Do you think that what Leo said is true? Do you think that Paige might be under a spell?" Phoebe asked.
"No, I mean yes she might be under a spell but I don't think so! If she was, then it wouldn't have taken this long for him to put it on her." Piper explained. "What I'm thinking is about what Paige said about Prue. We do compare her to Prue too much, don't we? Even when we don't mean to, we still do!"
"Sweetie, it's not our fault! She was our sister for twenty years, and to just lose her like that! How can Paige expect us not to remember her at all!" Phoebe hugged her sister.
"I know but still…" Piper sounded sad. Snapping out of it quickly, she lifted her head up abruptly. There was a loud crash up in the attic, taking one look at her sister and ex-husband; she dashed up the stairs, Phoebe and Leo at her heels.
Throwing open the door, Piper briskly marched in with her hands at ready! She saw a young brunette standing over the Book of Shadows, casually flipping through the pages. When she looked and saw Piper, Phoebe, and Leo staring at her she smirked mischievously and ripped out a page.
Piper flicked her wrists in her direction, but it was too late. The girl had already shimmered out and was gone, with the page from the Book. Chris and Paige were the last things on Leo, Phoebe, and Pipers' minds; a demon had just escaped, one that could touch the Book of Shadows!
The girl quietly shimmered into a nearby park, not knowing where else to go. Seeing a bench not too far away, she went to it and sat down.
Great now where do I go! Why wasn't Chris at the Manor? Where the hell could he be! Oh well! At least I got the spell I needed! Hahaha! Leo's face was to die for! Damn it, where would I go if I were Chris and not at the Manor? Ooo I know!
Chris? Ya there?
Turner? Oh my God! What the hell are you doing here!
Sorry man! If I had known you'd react this way I never would have shown up! I'll leave you alone now, I guess.
No wait! I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that! So where are you exactly?
Well, dearest Chris, I'm at a park looking for you!
What would I be doing at a park? I'm at P3, with Aunt Paige!
Really? Does she know that she's an aunt?
Yep she does! But she doesn't know anything about you yet! You want me to tell her?
Hell no! She might have been ready to learn who you are but no one, I mean NOONE, is ready to find out who I am! At least not this year!
Ok fine but hurry up and get here I haven't seen you in forever!
I'm coming but first I need to do something! I'll be there in a little while.
Don't do anything stupid!
Like I ever would!
Powers of Fire and Ice
Whether it be Bad or Nice
Show me my Father
Be he Near or Far
The true Love of my Mother
On this Plane or Another
Open my Eyes
From all the Lies
On another World unlike Ours
Show me my Roots
That run Deep like a Flower's
A flash of light blazed all around Turner and her eyes burned with such intensity, that even with her eyes closed she was crying. When she finally had the nerve to open her eyes nothing had changed, or so she thought. Thinking she had failed at her plan she decided to leave and go to Chris.
MEANWHILE AT P3
"Aunt Paige? Can you let go me now? I can't breathe!" Chris choked out between gasps.
"Oh sorry sweetie! Oh my god! Did I ever hit on you? Cause if I did, that's weird on so many levels!" Paige wondered. "Anyways, when are you gonna tell your mom and dad?"
"…umm… Hopefully? Never! They don't need to know besides-" Chris didn't get a chance to finish his sentence cause someone else did for him.
"Future consequences? Come on Chris grow up! How long do you think you can keep this charade up?" Turner grinned. "They're gonna find out one day!"
"Not from you, they aren't! You better not tell anyone!" Chris laughed as he pulled his best friend into a great big hug.
"Oh my gosh Chris! How many demons do you know?" Paige asked sarcastically. She had seen Turner shimmer in, which seemed oddly familiar. "First Bianca and now… what's your name?"
"…Turner… My name's Turner!" replied Turner. Hoping not to give herself away with the nervous look in her eyes. She could lie to anyone! Anyone but… her Aunt Paige.
