Unfortunate Souls

Ch. 2: Paige's Present

AN: okay this is not a really long chapter so be warned. It's a little something that wanted to write to show a little more of Chris's personality. I was tempted to make this not really a chapter but a side story that happens between chapter on and two but I figured what the hell I would make it a chapter I promise that the next chapter will be longer and coming soon.

Chris was currently searching through the magic store trying to find a present for his dear dear aunt Paige. He being the brother that always forgot about birthdays and parties or having fun in general had of course forgotten to get her a gift. That was at least until Wyatt had asked what he had gotten Paige and that was why he was here in the magic shop trying to find something in the two minutes before the store closed.

Chris was starting to get frustrated there was nothing here, all they had were trinkets made for tourists. Love spells that had a single word off or potions that were really sugar water with food coloring. They did have some of the ingredients needed to make a real potion but that was pretty much it. Chris sighed in disgust and was about to head home in disgust when he saw something shining over the cash register. When he looked closer he found out that it was actually a focusing crystal. These crystals were actually used by powerful witches to help them strengthen their powers and spells.

Chris walked up to the counter and said "How much is the focusing crystal?" The man looked up at him and stared at him for a while before saying "Sorry that's not for sale it's a family heirloom."

Chris smiled and said "Come on what use is it to you? You're not even a witch so it's nothing more than a useless trinket you won't even miss it." The guy gave him a suspicious look and said "I might not be a witch but it's still too precious to sell."

Chris raised his hand and a big handful of hundred dollar bills appeared in his hands. He laid it down on the counter and smiled at the man. The man touched the money to see how much there actually was. The man's eyes widened there was enough money to actually run his store for at least two years. He was tempted to take it but this crystal had belonged to his great grandma and had been in the family ever since.

"It's tempting but no I can't do it." The man said watching regretfully as the money vanished into thin air. Chris was as stubborn as his mother he wouldn't give up just yet.

"Okay so money won't do it. How about this?" Chris snapped his fingers and two beautiful girls in bikinis appeared out of thin air. Chris looked at the man and saw that he was tempted but it wasn't working either.

"Really I thought that would work. Oh I know what about this?" Chris said as the girls turned into two very attractive men in skimpy underwear. Chris laughed at the incredulous look that appeared on his 

face. With a wave of his hand the men disappeared and Chris's smile finally disappeared and was replaced by an evil scowl.

"Look I'm trying to be a nice guy here, my Wyatt always tells me that you get more flies with honey then vinegar. I say that you should kill the damn flies and take what you want. So I'll give you one more chance ok. What do you want? I don't really care; it can be money or fame I don't care. All I know is that I am going to be walking out of this store with this crystal with you dead or alive. So what's it going to be?" Chris said as he walked around the counter. The man looked like he was ready to piss his own pants. The man licked his lips and said "Ok, I want to be popular. I want everyone to love me. I want to be the star of every event."

Chris laughed and said "I should have known you would have been that type of guy." Chris waved his hand and the man felt a wave of warmth flow over him. Chris went over to the wall and grabbed the crystal off the wall. Chris turned and started to walk out the store.

"Pleasure doing business with you, hope you enjoy your popularity." Chris exited with an evil laugh. Chris had altered the man to some degree. He had made it were the man released a pheromone that caused women to like him and want to be his best friend while the men would just want to have sex with him. He also ruined the man's sense of balance making him the biggest klutz the world has ever seen. With all the disasters the man would cause there was no way that he wouldn't stay the center of attention anywhere he went.

Wyatt would be so proud of him. A year ago Chris would have just killed the guy but now he had gotten what he wanted and even granted the man a wish. It's not his fault the man wasn't specific enough. Chris laughed again as he disappeared in grey orbs.
