Chapter 2 - To Tell The Truth Or Not To Tell The Truth

Sealed World

Chris opens his eyes, only to see his mother's bedroom still, but something is different. This bedroom is now cleaner. It looks like it has had someone sleeping in it. The room is more like a couple's room. The most evidence of all is the pictures of the family. HIS family. He smells the sweet aroma of his mother's famous chicken, browning in the oven. And he can hear laughter coming from where he knew the rooms of the smaller children was located at.

Chris - I'm home.

He spoke to the air, as he became curious as to who the other laughter was. He recognized Alice's, Penny's, Roxie's, Taylor's, Bel's, Molly's and his darling daughter Piper Lynn's laughter, but he did not recognize the others. His curiosity getting the better of him, he got up from the bed, his wound healed, and walked down the stairs. Before he made it all the way to the base floor, he spoke.

Chris - Remember, curiosity killed the cat.

Taking a deep breath, he rounded the corner to come face to face with his mom and a piping hot pan full of freshly baked rolls.

Piper - Chris, watch it kiddo. You don't want to hurt yourself, do you?

Hugging his mom, despite the hot pan, Chris just held on for dear life, saying things only a son who hadn't seen his mother in 9 years would say.

Piper - I know sweetie. I know. It's good to have you back. You've been asleep for quite some time. A good 2 hours, that's a lot for you. Are you ok? Do you need your dad to have a look at you?

Chris - No, mom. I was just probably tired, that's all. With everything that was happening in the past, then Gideon's curse, it took a lot outta me.

Piper - still holding him with one arm, but laying the rolls down with the other so she could completely hold her baby - Shh, it's ok. I know sweetie. I know. It's over, that world is gone. Now it's a new one, but we're in the old one.

Chris - I know why I'm here… but why are you?

Piper - I will tell you, as soon as we find out ourselves. Wyatt doesn't know why we all came here, but he has logic to find out.

Chris - thinking - Well, I… I believe it has to do with the fact that my family sent me back. The hell world traps everyone that was the reason of the world's condition; the ones who stopped it and the ones who helped execute it.

Piper - considering - That could be the reason.

Chris - So, who's here?

Piper - The family from dad to the youngest grandchild. The leaders of the Resistance 1. And the family's boyfriends/girlfriends. We really don't know why they came.

Chris - Was it the TTs in the family's boy/girlfriends?

Piper - Yes. The other's where here before, so they helped get you to the past.

Chris - Well, who has boy/girlfriends?

Piper - On P.'s, Patricia. On mine, everyone but Taylor and the new additions. On Phoebe's Mel. One Paige's Melody.

Chris - Ok, Patricia was dating Eric, Prudence was dating Frank, Melinda was interested in a guy, Chastity had a hundred, Prue was dating Kevin; but she wasn't mentioned, Mel was dating Steve, wasn't much surprised on that one, they've been dating as long as me and Bianca has; and Melody, by my memory changes, she wasn't dating anyone.

Piper - Well, you were right about Patricia, Prudence and Melinda was 'interested' in Ralph. Chastity has, thank god, settled down with a nice guy, Drew Gregory. Kevin died the most painful death alive, Mel and Steve was joined at the hip, Melody wasn't dating anyone when you left, by memory changes, but now she's dating Danny McGowan.

Chris - What do you mean Kevin died the most painful death alive? Who stabbed him with a devils cure athame… blessed aren't much better.

Piper - I'm sorry sweetie, but Kevin didn't die of a devils cure athame. He died by Wyatt's hands. Bare hands…

Chris - Just tell me mom.

Piper - Do you want me to tell you the truth or not. I fill like Shakespeare. To Tell The Truth Or Not To Tell The Truth, that is the question.

Chris - Come on I can handle it.

Piper - Sweetie, Prue was… Prue was - slowly - sexually insulted.

Chris - pain filled - What?

Piper - Yes, she was raped. So Wyatt killed him. He later told us Kevin worked for the Alliance, so that's another reason Wyatt felt responsible. He was told to 'get close to us,' and he did. If he got any closer to Prue, he would've been her Siamese twin, no joke.

Chris - serious - Can I bring him here so I can kill him again, again and again. All the painful deaths that I can think of?

Piper - Prue says that he might have got her but she got Grace. She got a better thing.

Chris - Who is Grace?

Piper - Her daughter that Kevin gave her because of that rape.

Chris - Who else has kids?

Piper - Well we have a lot more kids know.

Chris - How many?

Chris - Wow, that's a lot. How many is that, 74? 84 if you count the adults.

Piper - That's not counting the Resistance 1.

Chris - Damn.

Piper - Mmm-hhh.

Chris - Are you gonna help me in the kitchen?

Piper - No, your gonna help me.

Chris lets out a sigh of relief.

Piper - laughing - Scared.

Chris - Very. Oh well, I shouldn't, I just died mere moments ago.

Piper - beating potatoes - 2 hours.

Chris - Ok, for me it was mere moments ago.

Piper - No, 2 hours. I'm telling you, you've been asleep for 2 hours.

Chris - There is no way I slept for 2 hours, sorry mom. You're mistaken.

Piper - Momma knows everything. Momma is never "mistaken."

Chris - There's a first time for everything, mom. Better start now.

Piper, playfully, throws a spoonful of potatoes in his hair.

Chris - HEY!

Piper - So are you ready to eat?

Chris - As soon as I go and clean up. Mom is Bianca ok?

Piper - Yes she is. Why?

Chris - I don't know, it might be because she died.

Piper - No, I don't think that she died.

Chris - She came to get me and Wyatt kicked her back through a table leg.

Piper - I didn't know.

Chris - If she didn't die then I will be a monkey's Uncle, because she made me think she was gone before she died.

Piper - If she didn't die, Bianca and me is going to have a little talk.

Chris - You will not. If she didn't die than that was a great thing.

Piper - But she let you think that she was still dead.

Chris - So, what's the problem? If I know her she thought that it would get me thinking and working harder, if I thought that she was dead.

Piper - True. But go and get cleaned up so we can eat.

Chris - Who knows that I'm here?

Piper - That would be me, Leo, Wyatt, Bianca and Evelyn.

Chris - Ok. Don't tell the rest of them that I'm here.

Piper - Ok.
