Chapter 14
Chris snapped back to consciousness, and glared up at Bianca from where he lay sprawled on a sofa.
"What did you do to me?" he demanded.
"I just saved your life." She responded, folding her hands in her lap and straightening her back a bit to look intimidating from where she sat on the coffee table.
"By taking away my powers?"
She didn't say anything she just stood up and walked across the trashed living room. Chris knew they were in Bianca's mother's apartment.
He sat up and watched as she ripped a painting off the wall. He so hated uncomfortable silences and Bianca was famous for them.
"How do you plan on bringing me back genius? That spell is a one way door it only goes backwards in time."
Bianca smirked and paused in her task of drawing the Triquetra on the wall, "He created a new spell because of you. It goes both ways."
Chris didn't know if that was a dig at his sexuality or not, he was definitely one way unlike his crazy older brother and his openly gay cousin.
"I'm touched really."
"You should be," Bianca said resuming her work, "He's gone to an awful lot of trouble to bring you back."
"Wow!" Chris began sarcastically, "He really took time out of his busy schedule of torturing innocents and maiming good witches just to write a spell to bring back little old me?"
"You know what Chris? If you would just shut up for like a second you would see that this is really all for the best."
"Oh really how's that?"
"This is your only chance to live. If I fail he's gonna keep sending back assassins and all they are gonna have to bring home is a body." Bianca told him.
"Well, this a new thing for me I've never been wanted Dead or Alive. I kinda feel like Bon Jovi." Chris said.
Bianca rolled her eyes, "Do you have to be such a sarcastic bastard?"
Chris ignored her and continued his bit, if Lizzie were with him she would be in hysterics.
"I'm a cowboy on a steel horse I ride. And I'm wanted Dead or Alive." He sang.
"Chris." Bianca hissed through clenched teeth.
She was never a fan off his off brand humor.
"You honestly don't expect me to jump into that thing like before do you?"
"Not without severely kicking your ass for a couple of minutes."
"Like you could."
She simply gave him a look. They both knew that without his powers he'd be no match for her and she'd totally wipe the floor with him. He was pretty good at hand to hand but he wasn't a skilled assassin. But as usual he just had to be defiant. Getting beat up by a girl and getting dragged through a time portal didn't sound fun.
"Bianca, listen to me for a second. You don't have to do this. Don't give up on what we all believed in what we fought for." Chris told her.
"We? I wanna know where in the fuck was we when you up and left me in the future to fend for myself. I didn't even know you were gone until Preston felt like telling me. I waited for you for two days! You didn't even include me in the plan." Bianca said.
"I'm truly sorry about that but if you hadn't noticed I'm trying to save our world. And if you would have stayed in the future tending to Wyatt's twisted pleasures and left me the hell alone I could be doing that!"
"You can't even give a decent apology."
"That's because I'm not even sorry. If I would have told you would have told Wyatt and every thing would have been shot to hell before I could even get it together."
"Are you quite done? We have somewhere to be." Bianca said.
They both turned and faced the chalk outline of the Triquetra that Bianca had drawn. Chris heard the familiar jingle of orbs. Chris smirked the Calvary had arrived. But he wondered if they could beat Bianca.
"Hey! Future skank!"
Chris had never been happier to hear his mother make a snarky comment.
Bianca turned just in time to counter Piper's potion with her athame. Piper froze the athame just as Bianca shimmered out and then back in grabbing her athame before Piper or her sisters could react.
That was not good. But Chris could decide what he was more upset about his skanky ex holding an athame to his mother's throat or Lizzie's absence. Chris knew she would have normally tagged along.
"Who's the skank now?" Bianca asked.
"Wow! She is good." Phoebe said.
Paige rolled her eyes and raised her arm to throw the potion in her hand.
"I can kill her in half the time it takes you to think about it." Bianca said.
Chris knew Bianca wouldn't kill Piper. But it didn't stop him from getting a little nervous. Bianca could be pretty unpredictable.
"Maybe so. But you'll really have to hope the Power of Two will do. Won't you Paige. Oh you'll be surpised what's in the History books. Now put the vials down slowly." Bianca comandded.
"Bianca don't." Chris tried stop his voice from shaking but if anything happened to Piper…
The Charmed One's put their vials down as they were told.
"Let her go and I promise I'll go with you." Chris said unable to stop himself from pleading a little.
"Chris what are you doing?" Paige asked.
"If you kill her there will be no future for either of us to go back to and you know it." Chris told Bianca who still hadn't lowered her athame.
"What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked,.
"You'll see if you live long enough." Bianca said finally lowering her athame.
Chris let out a small sigh of relief as Bianca walked over to where he was standing.
"Ready?" She asked.
"Piper freeze them." Paige said.
Piper raised her hands and flicked her wrists freezing the room but they didn't freeze, Bianca and Chris both turned slowly only halfway.
"Okay… I get why she didn't freeze but why didn't he freeze?" Piper asked.
"Unless he's a–"
Bianca stood beside him grinning menacingly as he was forced to out himself.
"A witch too? Yeah I'm part witch part Whitelighter just like you Paige." Chris said watching his youngest aunt do an impression of a carp.
"You lied to us?" Paige asked after recovering from her momentary shock.
"I had to. It was the only way I could get you to trust me." Chris revealed.
"Trust you?" Phoebe said."
"Never mind it doesn't matter anyway." Chris said turning to leave.
"So you're just gonna leave? What about your mission? What about Lizzie?" Piper asked.
"I don't have a choice okay, the skank over here stripped my powers. Look's like Leo is gonna have to fix that floorboard without me." Chris said knowing that his mother would understand it once she got back home.
"And tell Lizzie that I care about her and that these last couple of weeks have been great." He added.
"I think you'll see her before I will." Piper smirked.
"What do you mean?" Chris asked.
"You'll see." Piper said.
"Come on. I'm not getting any younger." Bianca said opening the portal.
Chris didn't have time to think about what Piper said he just stepped into the portal with Bianca.
When the step out of the portal into the attic in the future, Chris realized as he looked on ten demons dressed in black that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to go home.
"There no threat to me." A voice boomed from the back of the line of demons.
Wyatt stalked through the rows, and Chris glared at his brother defiantly as the demons shimmered away.
Chris actually felt safer with the demons than he did with his brother.
"Et tu, Chris? Of all the people to betray me." Wyatt said.
"I wasn't betraying you I was trying to save you," Chris said.
"Save me. From what?" Wyatt asked.
"From whatever evil that turned you."
Wyatt turned on his heel and stomped over to the podium where the actual Book was resting.
"That's always been your problem Chris…"
Chris simply tuned his brother out he was tired of hearing the power speech.
"Yeah, whatever you got the most power you so you win right? Look out the window you've totally fucked up the city and the world. Doesn't look like any kingdom I wanna live in." Chris said.
"You know, if anyone else tried what you tried, I'd kill them on the spot. But you? I've forgiven Bianca, I can forgive you too. If you promise never to cross me again."
Chris actually had to laugh, "I think you know me better than that." Chris said looking up defiantly at his big brother.
Suddenly a portal opened behind them and someone fell out landing at their feet.
"That first step is doozy!" the girl said picking herself up of floor.
"Lizzie?" Chris asked looking at his girlfriend.
"Who else did you expect Wonder Woman?" She asked.
"What are you doing here?"
"Bringing you back. Duh!" Lizzie said.
"Lizzie!" Chris shouted.
Lizzie smirked pushing her goggles down off the top of her head and over her eyes. It was fortunate that she had them in her bag. She had needed them in Physics class but she needed them more now if she didn't want her eyes to burn when she dropped the smoke bomb potion.
"Bianca kill the girl and I'll deal with Chris." The blonde man said.
"Thanks Wyatt. I thought you'd never ask." The Phoenix assassin said.
Lizzie turned to face the woman in the horrible pleather cat suit. Bianca was just as she expected. Trampy and evil.
"So you're the skank who stole my boyfriends powers huh?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah and soon I'll be the skank who kicked your ass." Bianca said.
"Did you just call yourself a skank?" Lizzie asked shaking her head.
Lizzie didn't wait for a response she threw down the vial that contained the smoke bomb potion and smoke started to rise up all around.
Lizzie dropped down doing the offensive move Phoebe had taught her and swept Bianca's legs out from under her causing her to fall down into he heart of the smoke.
Lizzie flipped backwards, relying on her gymnastics training to get her out of the smoke.
If she had known this was gonna happen today she wouldn't have worn that little white flippy skort. But she looked cute so it didn't matter. When she stood up she saw Chris wasn't fairing so well.
Wyatt was throwing him around the attic.
Bianca struck Lizzie while she was distracted knocking her all the way out of the attic. She landed just out side the door a few inches from falling down the stairs she picked herself up and manage to dodge Bianca's next punch.
"What do you have that I don't have huh?" Bianca asked.
"Class?"
"Well you are still in high school you probably have to go to classes… maybe I should take some classes get back into school." Bianca said swinging again this time hitting Lizzie.
"I have actual class. You bimbo! I'm not some skanky hoe who will bang anyone." Lizzie said swinging her bag and hitting Bianca in the head with it.
While the Phoenix was dazed Lizzie darted back into the smoke filled attic only to be grabbed roughly by the hair.
"Ow…" Lizzie moaned as Bianca slung her to the ground.
"I gave that man the best couple of months worth of sex of my life and how does he repay me? By going to the future and dating a high school girl." Bianca said straddling Lizzie's hips.
"You're in love with him." Lizzie said.
"Wow you're a real smart one to figure that out." Bianca rolled her eyes.
"If you really," Lizzie said yanking Bianca's hair and switching their positions, "Loved him you would try to help. Look at him." Lizzie said.
Both girls looked at Chris who was being telekinetically strangled and dangled in the air by Wyatt.
Bianca pushed Lizzie off of her and ran over to where Wyatt was.
"You said that you wouldn't hurt him."
"You said you could persuade him back into the fold." Wyatt said telekinetically throwing Chris into yet another piece of furniture.
Bianca sobbed and went over to where Chris was laying amsist the splintered wood.
"I swear I didn't bring you here to die Chris." Bianca said.
"I know, I got something planned." Chris said with a wry smirk as Wyatt walked across the still creaking floor board.
"Boring!" Wyatt proclaimed.
"Well, well, well. Little brother's taste in women has finally improved." Wyatt said stalking around Lizzie. She could feel his eyes roaming over her body it made her feel disgusted.
"Shut up."
"Wow a feisty one. And you are awful pretty. I might just keep you."
Lizzie tried to move away and go where Wyatt and Bianca were but she found herself zooming toward the wall at lighting speed. She knew it was Wyatt's doing.
Her back hit the wall but it didn't hurt he pinned her there with his power rendering her immobile.
She tried to suppress the scream that was rising in her throat as he walked closer the evil glint apparent in is hard blue eyes.
Before Wyatt could make it to her Chris tackled him taking the bigger man down and causing him to lose his control over his power causing Lizzie to fall to the floor.
Dazed she slowly got to her feet to find Bianca with her arm stuck in Wyatt's back absorbing his powers.
"Whatever you're gonna do if fast." Bianca said.
Chris ran over to where the broken floor board was, yanking it up with is bare hands he pulled out a crumpled piece of paper and began to read, "Power of witches rise, come to me from across the skies, return my magic, give me back, all that was taken from the attack."
Chris glowed blue for a second and Lizzie was dazzled by the display and she totally missed seeing Wyatt kick Bianca she just heard the sound of someone falling and she turned in that direction and ran over to where Bianca was laying being impaled by a piece of wood.
"Take care of him okay."
"I will. And I know you were holding back on me earlier thanks." Lizzie said.
She saw Chris telekinetically throw Wyatt into the wall. She knew he was enjoying it.
"The smoke bomb was a nice touch though, you'll never be a true assassin." Bianca managed to choke out.
"Lizzie we gotta go!" Chris called from where he was at the podium.
"I'm coming! I'm really sorry about all this." Lizzie told Bianca as she ran back over to where Chris was just as Wyatt was picking himself off the floor.
"Take the spell!" Bianca shouted.
"I didn't think of that." Chris said.
"Idiot!" Bianca said.
"Slut!" he called back ducking an energy ball that Wyatt sent their way.
"Hear these words, hear the rhyme, heed the hope within my mind
Send me back to where I'll find, what I wish in place in time."
Lizzie blew a raspberry at Wyatt as Chris ripped the page out of the Book and grabbed her hand as they jumped through the portal together.
