Hey, it's me again. If anybody wants to know more about Riley, please check out my profile. I've decided that since I'm keeping her around, people should know more about her, so I've added details about her to my profile. It's not all the way finished yet, but it covers some basic about her. I also want to announce that I personally, in MY opinion feel that Chapter 10 was the best chapter I have ever written. It's the first chapter I have ever written that deals with emotions and thoughts only. So, in later Chapters, I may do that for Chris. And now final exams are over, thank goodness, they really wear a person out. Onto the next Chapter. The mystery of Leo's attitude will now be solved, in case anyone was wondering about the sudden change he went through in Chapter 9.
Chapter 11
Riley walked away from her parents' house, her arms across her chest, looking down at the sidewalk as she walked. It was dark outside, and her heart was feeling dark also. She knew Chris was always going to be a sore spot with her, and wondered if it'd be better to just cut all ties with him, and attempt to just live her life. Before she could come up with any decision however, whitish-blue orbs materialized in front of her, bringing her face to face with Leo.
"Hello Riley." He said calmly, but coldly. Riley instantly knew something was up.
"What are you doing here Leo?" She asked suspiciously.
"Looking for you." He said. Riley peered closer at his face in the dark, and noticed his eyes were different. She backed away, coming to the conclusion this wasn't Leo, merely a look alike who wasn't smart enough to also redo his eyes. Although she disliked Leo for future reasons, she also hoped no harm had come to him.
"Where's Leo?" She asked him.
"I'm right here." He said in a sickeningly sweet voice.
"You're not Leo." She said, her eyes darting for an escape route, so she could warn the sisters.
"You've busted me." He said as he raised his arms and orbed her out before she had a chance to run. Two seconds later, Chris orbed back into the manor, deciding he wasn't going to the Underworld for a while.
Underworld
Riley rematerialized in the Underworld, her eyes quickly adjusting to the darkness. She looked around, and basically saw nothing but stonewalls.
"Duh Riley. What else would be in the Underworld? A Burger King?" She asked herself mentally shaking her head at her dumbness.
"Who's there?" A familiar voice in the darkness called out. Riley spun around to see a shape leaning against the wall. At a closer glance she saw the person was chained to the wall. She slowly walked closer and gasped. Chained to the wall was a beaten and bruised Leo.
"Leo, what happened?" She asked. Her dislike of him went away just a tad at the sight of him. He looked so miserable, not at all like the Leo from the future.
"Riley! When did you get back from the future, and why are you here?" he questioned.
"I got back earlier today, and shouldn't you know that? You healed me, and why don't you just orb out?" She understood that she had been brought here by someone pretending to be Leo, but none of this made sense. Why would an evil Leo heal her?
"No, I didn't heal you. I never came back with your candles either." He told the girl slowly.
"Yes, you did. And you delivered a message that I would be back as soon as I could." She said to Leo who shook his head.
"No, after I orbed away from you to the basement for the candles, I felt something hit me in the back of my head, and I woke up here, and the guy who took my look had just finished stripping my powers. So technically, he is me, but he's not me." He told her. Riley sat down next to Leo.
"Piper's really mad at you for what this clone or look alike, whatever, is doing." She told him thoughtfully.
"What's he done?" Leo asked warily. Pacifist or not, he'd make sure this guy went straight to hell.
"Well, when Piper accidentally revealed that Chris was your alls son, he said some mean things." She said as Leo went pale.
I'm sorry this is short, its just, I'm tired and got a late start on this story because I got a new cat today. I'll make a longer chapter tomorrow.
