Chapter Thirteen – Lust and Lost
Wyatt orbed into the bathroom. He opened the door, and sunk across the hall and opened his door ever so slightly. He saw the lights had been turned on, and Alicia, fully dressed, was looking at picture of Wyatt and Chris from last years Christmas Party.
"It was out first Christmas without her." Wyatt said. Alicia jumped, and laughed.
"Sorry, I didn't
hear you come in."
"Its okay." He smiled back. He walked
over to Alicia and looked down at the picture with her.
"You love him a lot don't you?" She asked.
"More than anything, I don't want to sound like a sissy, but he was my salvation after my mom died. I mean like Dad was there, but he was always off doing his stuff."
"That's so sweet." She said.
"But we have other
things, to worry about." Wyatt said moving and kissing Alicia. She
pulled, back and smiled.
"Sorry I am no longer in the mood,
besides I have to leave in a few minutes. Sorry baby."
"Not a quickie?"
"Where did you go?"
Wyatt motioned his head to the picture. "Chris, I forgot he needed something."
"Oh," She replied, "But you kept looking at the window before you left."
"Yeah, he was outside."
"Outside?"
"It's complicated."
"Yeah, okay. Are you not telling me something?"
You have no idea. "Lets just say, nothing more then I am not telling you."
"Huh?"
Wyatt laughed. "Nothing babe."
Chris saw Bianca
sitting in the family room with his Aunt Paige. He froze he felt his
limbs go ice cold, after all he talked with Wyatt, she was here. He
didn't believe it. Without knowing it, he ran out of the house.
"Chris!" Bianca yelled after him. She got up from her chair
and went outside, and it was beginning to drizzle from the storm
clouds. She saw him standing on the sidewalk. "Chris, wait!"
"What?" Chris replied to her, "You've come here to try and convince me that I am still your friend?"
"Chris – no. Listen –"
"No, you listen!" He yelled. "I've tried everything to try and get your attention for like the past year, and all it did was throw you off and into Derek. I mean what does he have that I don't? Oh wait I know, MONEY!" He yelled.
As Wyatt and Alicia were in Wyatt's room kissing, they both heard someone yelling outside. Wyatt knew who it was instantly. "What the hell?" He said getting up, and looking out the window.
"Who is it?" Alicia
asked, buttoning her shirt again. They both saw Chris and Bianca
outside.
"Oh man." Wyatt moaned in concern.
"I don't care about money!" Bianca yelled back.
"Then how come all of
your ex boyfriends have been rich? Huh?"
"I don't know."
"Come on Bianca, you're from a rich family only logical that you look for rich boyfriends. And besides who the hell am I kidding? You're older then me, I am only a freshman and you're a sophomore, so why would you want to date an underclass men anyways? I know why, cause I was stupid enough to actually think you liked me!" Chris then walked passed her.
"NO!" Bianca said grabbing his arm, "I could careless that you don't have money, or that you're a freshman. Chris what has gotten into you? This is so unlike you!"
"Unlike me? What the hell, you don't even know me!"
"I do know you! I knew you when you were in the fifth grade, and no one talked you! And I came up to you as a friend! I've known you for nearly six years; you're my best friend."
"Is that's all, just best friends?"
"Chris, please listen
to me please."
Chris sighed and put his hands on his hips, the
rain was falling a bit harder.
"Chris, I admit it, I do have a
thing for you. I always have since eighth grade, when I tried to ask
you during that football game you had with your friends, but I
chickened out."
"You did?"
"Yes!
Believe me, I beat myself up for weeks cause I didn't ask you out
and you went out with that stupid blonde bimbo Britney."
"We didn't go out."
"What!"
"We didn't go out – I've never had a girlfriend."
Bianca was dumbfounded.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god, so all those rumors about you and other girls are-"
"-not true." Chris then put his fingers up to form a "V" sign. "V-Card."
"V-Card?"
"Virgin Card." Chris replied.
"Oh my god! Oh my god!" Bianca said getting more and more shocked. "You've never – oh my god, I would have thought at least that one about Erin was true."
Chris smirked, "I wish." Then he shook his head, "Look what does it make any difference, like you said I am only you're friend."
"No-"
"Oh yeah, best friend."
"Chris, please. Derek is nothing to me, I only accepted his offer cause I was tired of waiting."
"Waiting? For what?"
"You." She said
taking his hand. Chris was shocked beyond all belief.
"Me? I
sent you all those messages?"
"What messages?"
Chris rolled his eyes, "Buffing up over the summer, my six
pack, hanging out with you more, the Christmas presents, the roses on
your birthday. I thought I was pretty clear."
"But you never
did one thing."
"What was that?"
"You never asked me out."
"Well I didn't think I needed too. You were too busy-" Chris was cut off by something he never saw coming … Bianca was kissing him, and before he knew it, it was over. Bianca smiled.
"Wow." She said.
Chris lost his anger and his frustration, and then stepped
forward and kissed Bianca; a real one this time. He wrapped his arms
around her, and she to him. It was everything Chris thought it would
be, and more. He finally after months of trying to get her attention,
was finally kissing her.
"Aww, that is so sweet!" Alicia said watching him.
"That's my boy." Wyatt said smiling, "I knew he could do it."
"Is that what you needed to talk to him about?"
Wyatt smiled, "Yeah, and more."
Chris let go of Bianca
and opened his eyes. He never saw someone so beautiful and amazingly
hot in his entire life, the rain added the perfect touch; even though
he thought it was cheesy cause he saw it so many movies before had.
Bianca pulled back, but her eyes were closed, Chris heard her sigh in
relief. She then put her head on his chest, and he held her there for
a moment. Then the rain began to come down harder.
"Come on we
have to get inside." Chris said taking her hand. Together they
walked up the stone steps and into the Halliwell Manor.

Paige was now in the Attic, flipping through the Book of Shadows. She was marking off demons on a list she got from the book, whatever the prophecy was about Chris and Wyatt she wanted to mark off as much Demons and Warlocks as possible so they can do this as easy as possible. She made her final check against the name "Lore" the demon of ice. She nearly lost her hand to him, but she remembered his weakness, Fire. And how she orbed a fireball from the underworld and threw it at him. It annoyed her that now after seventeen years of battling demons and warlocks and vanquishing the source four times, her powers were now advancing. As she flipped through the book more, orbs appeared in front her. She knew this was coming.
"Paige." Nora, the female blonde, Elder said.
"One minute." She said flipping through the book, and writing down another name.
"It's time." Nora said, with sympathy. "Please let the boys to their own."
"No, I have to take this guy out."
"You've done your part Paige, it's time too go."
"Look, these boys need me. Chris is now finally coming into his powers, and-"
"Wyatt will be here to help him."
"Then is Leo coming back?"
"I can't answer that Paige, please come with me; I don't want you to die."
"I am not going to die."
"Paige, please." Nora said with sadness in her eyes, "Don't do this. Leo has a mission for you, this mission will benefit the boys."
"Mission? Leo?"
Paige said confused, "What's this mission, and why is Leo bossing
you around?"
"Leo isn't bossing us around, he has become
something so grand and good, it will help us all."
"Grand and good? What has he become."
"You have to believe to see it."
"Look, just tell me I have a demon to fight."
"Paige!" She said, she sighed and took walked forward and took her hand. "I can't let you go. Just come with me and you won't die for another thirty years."
Paige sighed and bit
her lip.
"You can watch the boys grow up and grow old
yourself."
"So what I get to spend the next thirty years up in Heaven with you guys? Get all white and blonde again? Hell no!"
"Paige, don't please."
Paige took the paper to the book. "Look can I just good bye to them?"
"No, the prophecy doesn't allow it."
"What is this Prophecy already! Just tell me!"
"I can't do that."
"Not even a hint."
"It involves Wyatt and Christopher, and the greater good. Please just come with me."
"Good, he will be
pleased." Nora said walking back and facing Paige.
"Who will
be pleased."
Nora stood in the
attic, and then she began to glow a white light. She lifted her arms
as the white light began to turn to gold and she was smiling. Behind
her, on her back, a pair of giant angel wings appeared, they were
four feet in length each. Paige was amazed at their beauty and glory.
Nora then looked to Paige and extended her hand.
"Come." She
said. Paige began to walk forward, and as she took Nora's hand a
pain shot through her body. Paige wanted to scream but she couldn't,
she looked down and saw an athame in her stomach. It was shot from
Nora's other hand. Paige looked up at Nora and had a look on her
face of "Why?"
"The age of Elders has come to an end!" Nora said, her wings began to turn into black, her white elder robes began to shred and look spoiled. Horns grew from her skull, her skin was turning black, her eyes were turning red. "The League of Fallen Angels, are ready to attack, and with now all the Charmed Ones out of the way, we have an entrance into ridding the world of Christopher. But we will keep Wyatt, he will lead us into War, someone with his power will be very useful."
"No!" Paige said, before laying on the floor dying. As Paige breathed her last breath her body erupted into flames and was gone. Nora, now standing as from an Angel from Hell looked around laughing, and looked at the book. "I'll be back for you!" She then flamed out.
