Title: I Am Dead
Author: Za Webmaster Authoress
Posted On: March 12th, 2007
Summary:Chris has killed himself. No one in the past knows anything. Wyatt watched his brother die. And Chris is a Shadower, so death may not come as easy as he wanted it to. But has a plan to outwit fate. Sequel to 'I Am Alive'.
Note: Sorry for the 9-day wait. I've been really busy. And I'm officially 14 years old, as of March 8th. Joy. (please note the sarcasm)
Rated For: Language, emotional writing, trauma, intense sequences, and excessively emotional rantings. Some blood/gore, not as much as before.

Chapter 4: Everyone Has a Plan

Halliwell Manor

"Who are you?" Piper asked sharply.

"A Reaper. I'm here to tell you that Chris has a final chance at life. In 20 hours, his body will be resurrected. In one hour fo the resurrection, he must be healed. If not, he will die. And stay dead." The Reaper grimaced.

"Where is he?" Paige asked breathlessly.

"Right here." Chris snapped.

Rage and pain had consumed him. He glared at his brother, who winced at the motion.

Chris looked to the Reaper, who stood tall and unwavering at the intense gaze. "If I die, do I get to see everyone? Or will I be sent into another hell?" he inquired harshly.

"I'm not sure. I doubt you will be happy Chris. You know why you came here, you know that no one could allow you to rest, knowing you allowed yourself to fail." the Reaper replied softly.

"Then how do I finish my mission? Tell me, or watch the world crumble under his power." Chris snarled, jerking his head at his brother.

"The world did not crumble! It's my empire, it's a world of freedom!" Wyatt retorted angrily.

Chris laughed, the same Shadower tone still echoing through it. "A free world? You're so blind Wyatt, blind to it all. Do you see the children starving to death? Do you see them morphing to sharp, uncaring and icy beings? They care nothing of others, only that they must live. Do you see the parents lying down their lives to save those dark children? Did you see me, fighting against your demons for my life? Did you watch me bleed, did you see the life fade from my eyes as I waited for the arrival of a healer that I knew would never come? Do you see me now? Wanting neither death nor life, only wanting it all to end?" Chris demanded, his voice rising. Sparks crackled around him, triggered by his repressed emotions.

Wyatt faltered. Chris, satisfied, turned back to the Reaper.

"Now, how do I fix this screwed up world." he growled.

"Kill the one who turns him." the Reaper replied simply.

"That would be useful, if I knew who did it!" Chris retorted angrily.

"I can't help you anymore Chris, I'm sorry." the Reaper shook his head sadly before fading away.

Chris kicked the floorboards, scuffing his shoe.

"Chris." Piper spoke up, firm.

"What?" he hissed, not in the mood for anything.

"Who are you?" she asked bluntly.

"I'm not going to tell you. I'm not telling you shit." with that, he and his body vanished. Not in orbs, but in a crackling dark grey and silver lightning bolt, like what Paige had done when she was a goddess. A scorch mark was left where the two once stood or had lay.

"What do we do now?" Leo asked. It seemed to be the only sentence he could say anymore.

San Francisco: Future

"Where are they Wyatt? Where are they laid to rest?" Chris murmured as he scanned the graveyards tombstones. Wyatt would have buried them, the Team, his family. He had that speck of decency for former friends and relatives.

Finally, he found what he was looking for. A memorial, a slick slab of stone, had names carved on it. The Resistance members that had been slain and had managed to have their bodies salvaged. He grinned as he spotted 5 names.

"Time for a little resurrection guys." Chris whispered. "Just wait."

Halliwell Manor, Attic: Present Time

"What would Chris go to the future for?" Phoebe demanded, cradling her head in her hands as she sat down.

"Chris is in our time. That's all I know." Wyatt retorted.

"What happened Wyatt? All those things Chris said about the future. Were they true?" Paige asked, sitting beside Phoebe.

"Yes. Though he exaggerates. There are many who flourish in my world. What he sees is what he and his Resistance caused. Those who resist me suffer. It's as simple as that. Even in Chris's case." Wyatt replied, saying the last sentence bitterly.

"Why Wyatt? Why do they have to suffer? Why couldn't you just let them be?" Piper asked, her voice breaking.

"Because. I have the most power, so I rule. Simple, and not that hard to forget, nor that hard to follow." Wyatt growled, his patience thin.

"Well, can't we just go and get Chris back?" Paige inquired sharply, growing more and more annoyed.

"Yes. But that's his turf, remember? He's not so easy to track when he's back home." Wyatt said remorsefully, as if it was a bad thing. For them it was; for Chris it was a life saver. Literally.

They waited. They talked, they argued, and they formulated a plan.

They were going to the future; all five of them. Baby Wyatt would stay at Magic School. And the other five would retrieve Chris at all costs.

Thanks for the the reviews guys! I hope you all like this chapter. And if anyone has any questions or is confused about something, please let me know! I'll try my best to help you out.

immortalwizardpirateelf-fan: "The Ultimate Gift"? I can honestly say I haven't seen the ads for that, what's it about?

sailor cyanide: Thank ye, and apologies for the long wait.

sigi: Thanks, and here is your update!

shyeye: Thanks!

Kitty-Witty-Kate: Thanks, glad you like it. Tis always fun to make Wyatt cower! /evil laughter ensues/coughs/ I'm okay!

Amantine: Here's the update! Speaking of updates, how about your stories. /pokes/grins shamelessly/ Sorry.

Chrislives11: I'm glad you like what's happened. And I agree cliffies suck. Here are your questions answered, in order:
1) When writing a story with more than one chapter, you must upload each chapter in a document seperately. One document counts as one chapter.
2) Story alerts are when you recieve an e-mail when a story has been updated. An author alert is when you recieve an e-mail informing you that an author has updated one of their works, created a new story, ect.
3) To post a new chapter, go to 'Stories' and click 'edit' next to the story you want to add a chapter to. Go to 'Content/Chapters' and it's easy from there.

Ayane T'il Hime: Glad you like it, sorry that it's confusing. If you have an questions, you can ask me in a review. Hehe, I'm taking French. This is my second year of it, and it's cool. But I'm an amatuer at best. 'Je adore le chocolat, et parler avec mon amis. J'aime aller au cinema souvent. Comment ca va?' I'm not good at remembering conjugations and the grammer. Thought english is a VERY hard language, it has rules that are so messed up.

History Buff 1990: First off, what kind of asylum are you in? The ones where people are locked in padded rooms and straightjackets only, or the one for traumatized people and those who are just slightly whacky? OR another kind that I didn't mention? Tis very important, different asylums have different tricks. For 'Asylum of Obsessive Fanfiction Readers' simply ask Matt if he has any chocolate, while putting on your best puppy dog face. He's such a sap! Melts like butter if you whine and say you hate being locked up. /spots Matt walking towards her/ I LIE!!!! /is dragged away kicking and screaming about finishing the story/
PS. Thanks for the review! Glad you liked it. Hope you break out soon.
PSS. Remind me to kill Matt.
PSSS. Never mind. He found my chainsaw.
