A/N: Thanks to those who reviewed. To answer a few questions: Geokinesis is the power to control earth (as in the ground), Hydrokinesis is the power to manipulate water, and Pyrokinesis is the power to manipulate fire. Paige's power is actually telekinetic orbing, but I always call it orbikinesis because it's easier. As for Wyatt's energy balls, there are other witches that have had that power as well, such as Richard's family in season six. Regarding Chris and Kiara getting together, well, keep reading and reviewing and you'll find out)

Chapter 3: Training Day

After finishing the dishes, Chris had orbed to the room he shared with his brothers, grabbed his laptop, and then orbed to training room at Magick School. He had just finished setting up his laptop and starting their training play list when he heard the sound of orbs behind him. He smiled as he turned to see his brothers and cousins dressed and ready to fight.

When she materialized, Chris knelt down in front of his youngest cousin, Jordan, and grabbed her hand. "You want to work with me today?" The little girl nodded and smiled brightly.

Wyatt called for Excalibur as Hayden conjured a sword and handed it to his cousin, Pearl. Since Pearl had no active powers, one of the boys always spent their training time sparring with her. Wyatt worked on her swordsmanship, Chris helped her with her martial arts, and Hayden usually did a combination of the two with her, as he was still learning to master both himself.

After handing his cousin the sword, Hayden quickly floated into the air. Patience smiled evilly at her cousin as she pressed her fingertips together and pulled them apart slowly, causing streams of electricity to appear. She flicked her hands at Hayden and laughed as he almost didn't get out of the way in time.

"You're getting too good at this. We're going to have to find some inanimate object for your target practice before you fry me."

Chris and Jordan were sitting on the floor together, staring at a blank Checkers board. "Ok cuz, set it up," Chris instructed.

Jordan gestured with her hands in front of her as she telekinetically lifted the tiny pieces one by one and began placing them on the board. She had just finished with the black pieces and was about to do the red the same when Chris spoke again, "Do the red two at a time."

Jordan struggled to move two things with her mind at once. The pieces wavered in the air, floating unstably to their destination, but they all eventually got there. Once the board was set they began to play, using their telekinesis to do that as well. When it was Jordan's turn, Chris would use his other powers to launch random attacks at his cousins and to stop attacks from them.

Two hours later the kids collapsed in a circle on the floor for a break. Hayden conjured a cup for each of them, and Chris used his Hydrokinesis to fill the cups with water.

"Wow. Talk about personal gain," Paige called out from the door. No one had even seen her or Kiara come in.

"Look who's talking," Chris retorted, taking a drink from his cup.

"How's the training going?"

"Good," they all replied simultaneously.

"I played checkers with Chris and didn't once mess up the board or accidentally throw any pieces at him," Jordan told her mother proudly, and then added, "and later I'm going to work on my orbing."

"Very good sweetie," Paige gave the girl a hug. She then turned to the rest of them. "Would you guys mind letting Kiara work with you as well? We figured it would be good to get to know her powers and let her experience yours."

"Sure thing, Aunt Paige. We were going do some target practice for a while. What kinds of powers do you have?" Wyatt directed the last question to Kiara.

When she didn't respond, Paige sighed loudly and put her hands on her hips. "I told you Kiara, when some one asks a question it's rude not to answer."

"Don't worry about it. We'll find out during training. C'mon," Wyatt waved for the girl to follow him and the other kids as they walked to one side of the room.

Hayden closed his eyes in concentration, and then waved his hand, causing a conveyer belt of demon heads to appear on the opposite end of the room (A/N: Just think of the game at fairs where the target are moving along the track and you have to hit them with something.)

Wyatt orbed in a table from the weapons room that was covered with various athames and other assorted small weapons good for throwing. Wyatt opened his hand and formed an energy ball. He hurled it to the other end of the room where it hit one of the heads cleanly between its painted on eyes.

Chris flicked his wrist and a ball of fire appeared before him. He gestured away from him with the same hand, and the fireball went hurdling to the other side of the room. Chris put both of his hands together and then pulled them apart, spreading his fingers wide. As he did this, the fireball he had sent broke of into ten, right before decimating their intended targets. Chris smirked at his older brother.

"Show off," Wyatt told him snidely, but then yelped loudly he was suddenly drenched from above. Chris had caused a small waterfall to flow over his brother. Wyatt glared at the boy before closing his eyes and summoning wind to surround him, quickly drying him off.

Hayden rolled his eyes at his brothers as he picked up an athame from the table, and, after a moments concentration, sent it hurdling towards the targets that had reappeared right after Chris destroyed them. The athame missed its intended target, instead flying in between two heads and hitting the wall. Hayden cursed silently under his breath.

"Why do I suck so badly at this? I NEVER hit the stupid thing, not once," he yelled loudly.

"Relax man, just keep trying," Wyatt reassured his brother.

Something suddenly struck Chris and he turned to Kiara, who had been standing where Wyatt had left her, and seemed to be staring blankly at nothing. "Kiara."

The girl's head snapped up at the sound of her name as she looked directly at Chris.

"Aren't you supposed to be some sort of expert at this? Is there anything you can think of to help Hayden?"

Kiara nodded as she looked away for a moment, breathing deeply. She turned to face the youngest of the three brothers. "Part of the problem is that you're too discouraged from past failures, so you're not letting yourself try hard enough. Also, don't aim at just a head. Pick some central point and aim for that. Look at it until you see it clearly, until you can see it perfectly, and it is the only thing you see. Never let the target out of your thoughts until your weapon is lodged in it."

"Why aim in the middle?" Pearl asked.

"Thinking that you're aiming for the head makes your mind think that you have huge target, and that anywhere on the target is acceptable. You stand a better chance of directioning your weapon to the edges of the face, which gives you a better chance of missing. Aiming specifically for the center of any target gives you the area surrounding the target as a space of error that still gets the job done, instead of missing completely."

Hayden nodded at the girl and picked up another athame. He chose a target head and focused directly on its nose. After focusing for a moment he could feel what Kiara was talking about, as the nose of the demon became the only thing he could see. With hardly a thought, he pulled back his arm and launched the athame at the target. He smiled brightly when the athame punctured through the cardboard targets lips.

Chris and Wyatt looked at each other in amazement before looking at Kiara, who was smiling as well. Suddenly she seemed to realize what she was doing though, and wiped the expression from her face.

"Your turn, Pearl," Hayden said as he stepped aside. Pearl picked an athame and easily launched it directly into the eye of one of the heads.

Patience stepped up after her cousin and began radiating electricity from her fingertips. She outstretched her right hand, sending five bolts of lightening to the other end of the room, but only three of them actually hit a target.

"Nice try, cuz," Chris said to her as he wrapped his arms around her she shoulders.

"Ok, Jordan, it's your turn. Now remember, you don't have to send it flying down there, it's okay to take it slow for now," Wyatt instructed his baby cousin.

Jordan lifted an athame with her telekinesis and sent it slowly down the room. As the athame got closer it did pick up some speed, and lodged cleanly into the forehead of one of the targets.

Jordan smiled brightly as she turned to Kiara. "It's your turn now! Do you have a power to use, or do you have to throw an athame?"

Kiara found a sense of comfort in the girl's innocent question, and feeling a moment of courage she knelt before the girl and replied, "I have lots of different powers. Which one would you like to see?"

"Like what powers?"

"I was born with the power to control the elements and the weather. I have a type of telekinesis similar to yours, only I can move things without having to be able to see them or be in the same room as them. I can do lots of other stuff, too."

"Why come you can do so much?"

"I don't know. It's just how I always remember being. The Elders gave me a few new powers to add to the ones I already had, I don't use them very often."

"I want to see you use them all at once!"

Chris interrupted his little cousin's excitement, "Jordan, that's not very polite. Besides, it's very hard to use more than one power at once, you know that. You shouldn't ask thing of others when you know it's not possible."

Kiara felt her anger flare up at Chris's comments, but she didn't know why. She tried to suppress the emotions, as was her training, but then remembered Paige's words. The woman had told her she could feel again, and that she didn't have to suppress natural emotions. So, instead of suppressing her anger, she let it flow.

"Excuse me," she spoke coldly to Chris as she stood from her position on the floor and moved to face the target. Chris stepped back and couldn't help but grin as he could feel the tension radiating off of Kiara.

Kiara opened her palms, summoning a ball of fire in one and water in the other. The liquid and flame begin to flow in circles around her, creating a shield of sorts, and soon the girl added a stream of earth, a gust of wind, and a bolt of electricity to path. She closed her eyes and focused as they moved faster and faster around her. When she opened her eyes the weapons went flying towards the target and destroyed the whole set up. Kiara turned and stared defiantly for a moment at Chris. She waved her hand, conjuring another target system, and then stepped aside so that they could resume practice.

"Nice shot!" Wyatt exclaimed, holding up an open hand for her to hit. The gesture was unfamiliar to Kiara though, and she looked at the man in confusion.

"Here, just hit my hand with yours. It's a way we say congratulations. Chris will demonstrate," Wyatt turned to his brother, who grinned evilly as he brought his hand down quickly, smacking his brother's hand as hard as he could.

Wyatt grabbed his hand and jumped in pain.

"Oh come on. I didn't hit you that hard," Chris rolled his eyes at his brother.

"How did you do that?" Wyatt asked, holding his hand.

"Do what?"

"My hand got really cold right before you hit it. It was like the cold was emanating from your hand."

"Are you feeling ok, Wy?"

"Yes. I'm fine. Dad!" Wyatt called out for their father.

Leo orbed in a few moments later. "What's wrong?"

"Is Chris supposed to be coming into any new powers?"

"Actually, yes. The Elders were just telling me about it. Cryokinesis…the ability to emit cold energy. Prue actually had this power in a past life, but she had to use a powder for it to work. I'm assuming since you already accessed it, that isn't the case for you."

"Sweet. I know what I'll be practicing the rest of the day." Chris formed a ball of water in front of him and began focusing on it, trying to make it freeze.

"I should warn you. It's a very hard power to control at first. Most witches that have it have to use a powder for it to work because they can't control it otherwise. Kiara, don't you have access to this power, too. Maybe you can help him out a little."

Kiara nodded at Leo and turned to face Chris, who still had a ball of water floating in front of him. She held up her hand and the ball of water quickly froze into a block of ice and fell to the ground.

"Also," Leo added before Chris and Kiara actually started their session. "Chris, maybe you can help Kiara with some of her powers as well. I was talking to Joel earlier and it seems that temporal stasis and molecular combustion are two powers the Elders bestowed upon her, but she hasn't fully learned to control them yet. You seem to have a pretty good handle on them, though. I expect her to be an expert by the time you're finished with her."

"No problem, Dad." Chris replied to his father, wrapping one arm around Kiara's shoulder and pulling her into his side, unknowingly sending chills up and down the girl's spine.

Leo orbed out of the room and the kids reformed into new groups and continued on with their magickal trainings. They worked until 7 that night, as they did every Saturday, trying to cover all of their various powers and skills. At seven they usually orbed back to the manor, showered, and made it to the table by eight where Piper would have dinner waiting.

However, by seven on this Saturday night, Chris was still struggling with his newly found power, and was determined not to leave until he had at least some bit of control over it, and was stubbornly refusing all protests from his brothers and cousins to leave.

"Chris, Mom is going to kill you. Then she's going to kill Wyatt for letting you stay. Now all that's good and fine, but then she's gonna kill me letting you both act stupid, and I'm not okay with that. It hurts to get blown up," As Hayden finished his sentence, Chris flicked his hands, causing his brother to disappear in a flurry of orbs.

He reappeared moments later with his hands on his hips and anger flashing in his eyes. "Fine then. Stay, but I better not hear any complaining when Mom grounds you for 'taking your magick too seriously and not allowing yourself to live a normal life'."

"Bye guys. See you later tonight," Chris rolled his eyes and turned away from his family to the cup of water sitting on the table now in front of him. Chris heard the sound of orbs leaving behind him, and when the sounds finally ended he growled in frustration and hit the table with his fists.

"Anger isn't going to help make the water freeze," Kiara's voice came from behind Chris, causing him to jump slightly before he whipped around to face her.

"Since when do you speak without being told to do so? And what are you doing here anyways?" he asked her snidely before turning back to the cup of water. Before she had a chance to answer though, he sighed deeply and turned back around, "I'm sorry. I'm just a little angry right now. Why are you still here?" he asked her much more lightly this time.

"Leo said he wanted me to have mastered temporal stasis and molecular combustion before I came back."

"So," Chris looked at Kiara oddly, not getting why it mattered.

"So years of experience has taught me that if I don't do what I'm told, I get punished."

"Dad was just kidding. No one learns to master their powers in a day. It took Mom weeks to figure out how to control her molecular combustion, and to separate it from her temporal stasis. He's not going to care if you can do it or not. You can go back to the manor if you want. I promise no punishments will be waiting for you there."

"I don't really have a way to get there, unless you take me. I'd rather stay anyways. Maybe I can still help."

"You're getting awfully brave you know. All sorts of talking and thinking for yourself."

"I'm a quick study. You have no idea how long I've wanted to be able to be free from them. You learn quickly though, not to disobey. That freaking whip changes your mind about rebellion real fast."

"They used a whip on you?"

"All the time. Whips, low voltage lightening bolts, fire, anything to make me not misbehave again."

"Obviously it didn't work very well. You're breaking all their rules now."

"You have no idea how many rules: Don't speak; Don't think; Don't do anything without being told to; Never EVER must you talk to men who are not directly responsible for your training for they will lead you to the path of evil..."

"What!" Chris interrupted her list of rules.

"Yeah. Get eight years of that bullshit shoved down your throat and see how you turn out." Kiara picked up the cup and held it in front of Chris. "Freeze it now."

"But I…"

"Don't think about it. Just freeze it." Kiara looked directly into Chris's eyes, holding his gaze as he stretched out his hand over the cup and easily froze the water.

"It's just like I told you earlier, freezing things is easiest when you are indifferent to it." After saying that Kiara dropped the cup and stepped into Chris, quickly closing the distance between them and drawing his lips to hers. Chris was drawn into the kiss at first, but after a while realized what was happening and pulled away.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked, trying to catch his breath.

Kiara only grinned evilly and focused on Chris's chest. She held out her hand and the shirt that Chris had been wearing appeared in it. As soon as it appeared she dropped it on the floor and quickly stepped back into Chris, running her hands up his now bare chest, and around his neck in attempt to bring his face back to hers again.

Not being able to think of anything else, Chris orbed them into the manor's kitchen, hoping his mom and aunts were there.

A few seconds after they had rematerialized, Chris heard his mother speak, "Christopher Perry, what do you think you're doing?"

Chris struggled again to pull away from Kiara's mouth, and once freed took several steps away. Before he could answer his mom though, Paige spoke, "Guess that spell didn't work so well huh?"
