Chris orbed in as quickly as he could when he heard another of his charges calling. When he got there he saw something that he certainly hadn't expected.

Wyatt from the future was standing with a knife to Chris's charges throat.

"Brother," Chris said after a while not sure what else to say.

"Let's clear one thing up," Wyatt said. "I'm not your brother. When you choose good over evil we stopped being brothers. And pretty soon your not going to be a Whitelighter anymore," he laughed, evily.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Chris asked not moving.

"When all your charges are dead there will be no one for you to heal," he went to slit her throat when Chris's yell stopped him.

"Wait! It's me and your family you really want not her or my other charges. Now let her go!"

"I think you have forgot who I am," he said.

"I know fine well who you are, brother," Chris spat. "Now let her go! Take me if you want but let her go!"

"I'll take you up on that," he said and before Chris had time to orb or fight, Wyatt opened a purple portal and jumped through it with Chris, leaving the charge behind.

After what seemed like an age of travelling through black air their feet landed on firm ground.

"Where are we?" Chris asked.

"Where we are doesn't matter. It's what you're going to help me do that does."

"I'm not helping you do anything," Chris protested.

"You're not in the position to say that," Wyatt smiled. "But you'll find out what I mean soon enough."

With that Wyatt disappeared and Chris was left standing alone with no one guarding him. This is weird, Chris thought. Why would he leave me alone? He knows I can orb. Oh well, lucky for me. He tried to orb but the room must have been sealed against good magic as it was like there was some shield up. Oh no, think Chris, think. But no matter how hard he thought he didn't know what to do. Then an idea struck him like a bolt of lightning, fast and if anyone knew who he really was they'd understand why it was also painful.

The only option he had was to call Leo, whether or not he'd come was a different matter but something had to work.

"Leo!" he shouted. He waited and no one came. "Leo! I know you can hear me and I know you don't trust me but please I need your help! I need you to break the spell surrounding this place and orb and get me out!"

After waiting for more time, Leo never came. Chris lost all hope and sunk down to the floor. It was pointless no one was coming.

Leo heard it. No doubt about it. But should he listen to it? He didn't hate Chris. He really didn't, he just didn't trust him. The two were completely different things. If he did listen to him, it could be some sort of set up. However, if it wasn't it could be like killing an innocent. He decided to take the risk but first he'd have to go look at the Boom of Shadows to find the spell and then locate Chris.

He wasn't coming. It had been over half an hour and Leo hadn't came. Most of his charges were dead and his head was pounding. He was nearly in tears. He kept hearing their cries for help but he couldn't do anything but sit and wait and hope that Leo would come to his senses and orb to him or at least take the shield down that was stopping him orb.

He hated the rules. Life would be much simpler without magic and rules. He could tell the Halliwells who he really was and then that way he'd be safer and then none of them would have to worry about him being evil or something daft. But you can stop daydreaming, he thought. That's never going to happen.

On some levels Chris knew he was being stupid. Magic was what made him up. Magic was part of who he was and he had to except that whether he liked it or not. The rest of his family had. He wasn't saying that he hated it and life would be better without it but it would be easier. He had nothing to do so he decided to try Leo again. What could happen that was worse than being stuck in his evil brothers' underground home?

Chris was calling again. Leo had orbed home – to the Halliwell manor but hadn't yet got the spell. He hadn't got up to the attic yet due to the sisters' thousands of questions. He finally decided to stop the chat and just tell them what he was doing even though he knew Piper wouldn't like it. Phoebe and Paige would understand.

"Look, Piper. I haven't got time. Chris is in some sort of trouble and I need to find a spell to help him, OK?"

Leo knew he had snapped at them but he had to be quick. God knows where Chris was. Right now though, he couldn't handle the lecture he would get off of Piper so after saying that her ran up to the attic.

After a while he was still looking through the Book of Shadows for a spell to bring shields down. Paige came up.

"Hey," she said. "You seemed kinda stressed down there, you OK?"

"Yeah, I'm fine thanks. I just didn't want to listen to Piper lecturing me on how Chris is evil and how I shouldn't help him."

"You know, I agree with her," Paige said. "And so does Phoebe know."

"But, Paige. I thought me, you and Phoebe agreed that Chris was good. How could you?"

"Listen, Leo. I'm not going to tell you to let Chris die or not to help him but I think he is evil. I'm not going to tell you what to believe about him but me, Phoebe and Piper don't believe he's good and I'm not going to question your beliefs or change your mind. So, don't you even try and change mine."

She placed the cup down on the chest next to the Book of Shadows and then before leaving the attic said.

"All I'm going to say Leo is: be careful."

"I will."
