Bronte saw the boy and glared at Chris, why had he brought him back. Chris looked guilty and decided to use her powers to communicate secretly with Chris.
'Why did you bring him back?'
'Wyatt would have killed him if I didn't.'
'How are we going to explain this to them?'
'I don't know.'
"So, can I just say it and ask who the boy is?" Phoebe asked.
"Sorry, can't tell you, future consequences", Bronte said before Chris could say anything.
"What kind of future consequences will it have?" Piper inquired as she sat on the bed next to Bronte.
"If I tell you who he is then he will die", Bronte stated.
"Why?" Piper questioned further.
"Because if you find out he might not exist any longer because you will stop him from existing", Bronte stated, "I can't tell you anymore."
"Okay, I think maybe Bronte should get some rest, haven't you got a temp job to get back to Paige?" Chris asked.
"Since when do you care about my temp jobs?" Paige queried receiving a stubborn look from Chris and rolling her eyes then stated, "Fine, I'll go, if you want us out of the room you only have to say so."
"Okay, We'll go", Said Phoebe as she pulled Piper along behind her.
"I'll go discuss with the elders the situation", Leo stated as he orbed out.
"So, you saw Wyatt? How is he?" Bronte asked as the little boy clambered onto the bed.
"Um Wyatt, he's the same, um, I kind of had to give him the spell to get to the past", Chris said defeatedly.
"YOU WHAT?!" Bronte shouted.
"Shh, I had to if I was going to save the both of you", Chris said acknowledging the small boy.
"You mean he could just waltz on in here any time he pleases?" Bronte yelled again.
"I'm sorry, I have to go", Chris said as he rubbed the boys forehead and orbed out, Bronte remembered the times when she came back home.

Chris took her to the apartment where the family was staying, she was told how her mother died not long after she disappeared, Phoebe was killed a year later, some of her cousins were dead too. Paige was a wreck trying to look after them all. Bronte was only fourteen, making Chris eighteen and Wyatt twenty.
The next few years were rough, she went through a stage of depression and was constantly suicidal but Chris made sure she was always safe. One night she went out clubbing with her friend, she had gotten extremely drunk and met this guy. She liked him but didn't notice when he slipped something in her drink, he offered to walk her home and then raped her.
Images jumped to nine months later when Bronte gave birth to her son, James.
/\
"Mummy", the little boy said as he snuggled against his mother, "Where's Lucy?"
Chris held back the tears thinking of Lucy, he had meant to leave Bronte behind to stay with Lucy and James but when she got hit he couldn't, James had been with Aunt Paige, he was sure Lucy was there also, she often stayed to watch over James. If Wyatt had attacked her he swore he would kill the bastard.
Chris thought about Bianca, he was supposed to marry her. He prayed to God if he changed the future she would come back. It was a delicate situation with thought, especially with Bronte, if her future is changed too much and she doesn't go through her childhood then she won't be so careless as to go clubbing and get drunk and therefore James would cease to exist.

"Leo, what are we going to do?" Piper asked when he came back from his meeting with the Elders.
"Well, the Elders want to know who the child is", Leo stated looking at Piper, "Did they tell you while I was gone."
"Of course they didn't tell us!" Phoebe stated when an Idea popped into her mind, "I could never sense Chris but if I get close enough to Bronte or the boy I might be able to sense them."
"It's worth a shot", Paige said as she grabbed Phoebe's hand, "I'll orb us to the room for only a few seconds and let me know if you feel anything.
Phoebe and Paige materialised in the room and Bronte ran jumped up from the bed at the first sign of blue lights and put her hand into the middle of the orb. Paige materialised with Bronte's hand pushed through her stomach, she started to cough up blood and suffocate before Bronte grabbed her son's hand and removed the hand from Paige, Phoebe was horrified at what happened and saw as Bronte took on a different identity, her hair turned to a blonde colour and her eyes turned blue. She ran over to grab her son before orbing out of the manor with him.
"LEO!" Phoebe screamed as she watched Paige dying on the floor.
"What happened…"Leo started as he orbed in to see Paige on the ground surrounded by a pool of blood.
"Heal first, ask later", Phoebe said.
/\
"So tell us what happened", Piper said as the sisters Leo and Chris sat on the couch.
"She put her hand into Paige's orb which ended right in her stomach and then, when we materialised, before she left she changed identity, she looked completely different, it was like it was demonic", Phoebe stated.
"Chris, what are you not telling us?" Piper demanded, rising her voice slightly, "Did you bring a demon into our house and say she was your sister?"
"Okay, look, if she was a demon why was she hit with a darklighter's arrow?" Chris retaliated defensively.
"She's not your sister is she Chris?" Phoebe asked.
"No, she's not", Chris answered.
"You mean you brought evil into this household?!" Leo yelled.
"Look, just, leave her be please", Chris begged.
"What aren't you telling us Chris?" Paige asked.
"Look, you know she's a whitelighter at least right? So you know she can't be evil right?" Chris tried to confirm with them.
"We don't know any more Chris, all we know is we can't trust you and whoever that girl is that also came back from the future can't be trusted either.

Oooh! Cliffhanger! And who is Lucy? (just so you all don't jump to completely wrong conclusions, Lucy is not his girlfriend or anything) Still a mystery though…
Please Review my work! I am open to criticism, it helps me to learn, also if you have any input for ideas for the plot I would love to hear them.
The one and only,
