Chris's Diary ( age 13)

I HATE THEM!

I HATE THIS STUPID FAMILY AND I WISH THAT I WAS NEVER A PART OF IT!

Today we had yet another major demon attack in the manor and like always my beloved brother took charge and saved everyone all by himself.

NOT

Demons where every where throwing fire balls, energy balls and whatever else they could use to hurt us. I was doing all I could to fight them off and help my parents and Aunts out. You should have seen me. I was amazing!

Anyway I was just about to use an athame on this really ugly demon when my brother called out my name and pushed me to the ground and vanquished the demon with an energy ball like I was a little baby who couldn't defend myself. And then he starts yelling at me to be more careful and that I could have gotten myself killed.

PLEASE! As if he's the only Halliwell with powers! What an egomaniac!

So I totally lose it and start flipping out on him, telling him that I could handle myself and that I didn't need nor want his help. That's when a demon shimmered in behind Mom and I blew him up with my powers and what does my Mom say.

"THANKS WYATT" and continues to fight.

ARGH! I saved her ass not him! That's when my brother told me to go upstairs and wait until the demons where gone before rushing off to help my Dad who was almost hit by a darklighter's arrow that of course his perfect eldest son saved him from.

Then I turned around and saw my Aunt Phoebe lying on the floor with three demons closing in on her. That's when I used my power to freeze one of them and blow up the other two.

I rushed over to check on Aunt Phoebe and help her to her feet so she could help out the others. The second she was gone the demon unfroze and stabbed me in my right shoulder before I could blow him up. Luckily for me I'm quick and I was able to take him out anyway.

The pain was horrible and it was hard for me to breath and at that point I look up to see that all of the demons were gone.

"Oh my God Wyatt that was amazing!" I heard my aunt Paige say from across the room.

"Is everyone ok?" Superman asked trying to act all modest. But before anyone could answer I heard my mother scream out my brother's name as a demon appeared behind him and shimmered away with him.

"MOM" I called out as I slowly made my way over to her with a gapping wound in my back.

"NO!" she called out completely ignoring me and my little wound in the back that was dripping like a pint of blood per second. She was just too pained that her son was apparently trapped in the underworld to notice my aliment.

Please, as if he couldn't use his super powers and save himself from one lousy demon. I swear my Mom is thee most over dramatic person I've ever known.

"Mom" I say again more weakly do thee amount of blood lost I was suffering from.

"CHRISTOPHER PLEASE! I HAVE TO FIND YOUR BROTHER" she shouted as she brushed passed me with my aunts and father following behind her and she headed towards the attic to scry for her perfect son.

Can you believe it?

They just left me there?

Right there with blood pouring from my back and all, they just left me.

DAMN IT if they had stopped for just one moment to look at me they would have known that I was in pain.

Well I wasn't going to call for my Dad or anyone else after that because they would probably ignore me anyway. So I just stumbled up to my room and laid down quietly on my bed.

I must have passed out because all of a sudden I could feel the pain start to disappear as the voice of my brother begged me to hold on.(Well at least Wyatt cares, sometimes)

When I opened my eyes I blinked a few times, trying hard to focus and understand just what the hell was going on.

I knew I had just heard Wyatt, but that couldn't be possible. Wyatt was just taken away by demons.

But when I was able to focus more I could see that three hours had passed and that they had apparently found my brother already and if it weren't for that fact I'd be dead.

How wonderful.

I feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that my parents were perfectly happy being unaware of my presences for three hours after a major demonic attack!

And that's why I hate them. Gees it makes me wonder why my Mom and Dad had me at all if they don't care about me.

I guess it's just one of those things that you'll never understand no matter how hard you try.

And because I found out about a new power of mine today I guess I'll celebrate just like I always do, sitting all alone with a bowl of ice cream in front of the TV.

Wyatt remembered that day well and was unmoved by the sobbing of his parents that was taking place in the background. His eyes still watered as he recalled how badly his brother was injured and that if he hadn't arrived back when he did, his little brother would have bled to death all alone in his room. He lifted his eyes from the book and starred at his parents who wore looks of grief and misery. He tried with all his might not to dislike or hate them for the horrible way they had treated his sibling, whether they meant to or not was irrelevant. The damage had been done and now his brother was probably in the past exacting his revenge at this very moment, allowing his pain to take over his senses and put the couple through the same amount of emotional torment that he felt they had inflicted upon him.

Hell who could blame him?

"Give that to me right now!" he heard his father yell out as the man ripped the dairy from his hands. "There has to be some happier memories in here! There has to be" Leo Wyatt screamed as he searched the pages frantically for proof that he wasn't a bad father to Chris in yet another life time.

Meanwhile Piper kept replaying the hateful words her son had used to describe how he felt about her and the rest of his family. As she closed her water filled eyes she couldn't help but see the hurt and dejected look in the other Chris's eyes that she knew was now present in the eyes of the boy's counterpart although he wasn't standing before her. There was no need for him to be. Her mind already held an a crystal clear picture in it of what her son looked like when he was troubled or hurt and knowing that she was the cause of that hurt tore her apart.

But she deserved it.

After all she was a horrible mother who neglected her son and left him to fend for himself on several occasions so why shouldn't she feel like dirt.

"Here's something" the man said while trying to steady his hands and refocus his eyes to read yet another entry from his son's diary.

"Dad are you sure you want to do this?" questioned Wyatt in an uneasy voice not wanting to hear any more of his brother's painful words, knowing that at times he too was the cause.

"Yes damn it I'm sure" the elder man replied, desperate to prove to both himself and his wife that they were in fact good parents and that their son had chosen to read only the bad entries from his sibling's diary.

"Fine while you two torture yourselves some more I'm going to work on a potion to take me to my brother" Wyatt spoke as he made his way across the room knowing full well that he was still within ear shot of whatever heartbreak his father had planned to read next.

Although he was hopeful that this new entry would be a happy one deep down within the pit of his stomach Leo Wyatt knew that it would turn out to be just as bad as the others. Taking a deep breath he pulled his wife in close and began to read from the book in front of him.

Chris's Dairy (Age 14)

Today is going to be a spectacular day… Why? Well it's because today is my BIRTHDAY!

"Piper, Leo! We're home" Paige called out as she and Phoebe entered the manor carrying several bags of new clothes and toys for their nephews and for themselves of course.

"Hey is anybody home?" questioned Phoebe as both girls laid their bags down in the living room and made their way towards the kitchen where they could usually find their sister on any given day.

But when they saw the unloaded bags of groceries and the opened refrigerator the girls began to panic and hope that their sister and brother in law were alright and that a demon hadn't attacked in their absence. Then again the place was in tact and nothing else seemed out of place. Their next thoughts went to their nephews. What if something happened at magic school and either Chris or Wyatt was sick or hurt. They didn't know what was wrong but whatever it was they had to find out soon.

"Ok, what the hell's going on here?" an anxious Paige announced as they both exited the kitchen and began rushing up the stairs towards the attic.

"I don't know I just hope that everybody's ok"

"Piper! Leo!" the girls shouted as they made their way down the hall.

"In here" they heard the voice of their older sister come from the bedroom.

They both looked at each other sheepishly as they began to understand their lack of response.

"Oh you two were busy. Sorry we thought something might have happened but pay no attention to us, we're just going to head back downstairs" Paige responded before making grotesque gestures that forced Phoebe to laugh out loud.

"Can you two come in here for a sec"

"Eww Piper!"

"Oh for God sakes we're not naked or anything"

At that point the girls heard another voice say "Ew I really didn't need to hear that" causing them to freeze again.

It couldn't be.

That voice was so very familiar to them but the person that it belonged to hadn't even spoken his first words yet.

Walking over to the door with snail like movements Phoebe and Paige opened the door to see Piper and Leo sitting on the bed with the man they instantly recognized as their nephew sitting between them as shock instantaneously caused them to freeze.

"Oh my God" both women said in unison as they looked at each other and back at their nephew who appeared to be glaring at one and seemingly ok with the other.

"Ok who's evil this time" said Paige as everyone in the room turned to look at her and an uncomfortable silence set in.

Like always thanks for the lovely reviews! Hope you like the new update.
