"What are we going to do? He's not answering to my calls." Phoebe walked into the parlor, her black high heels clicking against wood. Paige made a face as she came down the stairs, coming to meet Phoebe from work and Piper from the kitchen.
"I didn't know he had a cell phone?" Piper gave her a look.
"He doesn't." she said flatly. She led the Sisters into the living room and sunk into the big chair. She ran her hands over her face. "What are we going to do? We haven't been able to find them since they shimmered away speaking of which why can Chris shimmer?" she looked up at her sisters worriedly. "Do you think the antidote didn't take all the demon out of him?" Phoebe sat down in the couch across from her.
"No. I think it was the girl who shimmered. After all he said, 'Go.' and he sure as hell wasn't talking to us."
"What about the girl? Who is she? I mean all of a sudden she shows up and Chris totally changes. And Chris has never been able to go missing on us before? Has Leo seen him?" Paige asked frowning.
"No. But he's seen the girl." Leo said, coming down to the stairs to see the sisters. "She was just upstairs. I put Wyatt down for a nap and went upstairs to find you guys. But instead I found her. She was looking at the Book." the Sisters shared a glance.
"So she's not evil...but she can shimmer." Phoebe said giving a skeptical look. Piper shrugged.
"It makes no sense to me either. Are you sure she was touching the Book?"
"Touching it, writing notes, flipping pages." Leo shrugged. "It's all true."
"What was she looking at?" Leo pulled the Book over to the Sisters.
"Magical Possession?" Piper looked at the page and sighed.
"Do you think she's planning on possessing Chris?" Phoebe made a face.
"That seems kind of like a half baked scheme if you ask me. I mean what is Chris going to do to us?"
"Well he certainly knows how to punch." Leo said frowning, rubbing his jaw. The sisters frowned sympathetically.
"No. I honestly don't think Chris is a threat to us." Paige said, shaking her head.
"Well what about the girl?" Piper asked. "What do we think of her?" Phoebe shook her head.
"No. Chris obviously trusts her. Why shouldn't we?"
"Because the last person he trusted brought him back to the future so his brother could try and kill him." Paige said, referring to Bianca. The younger siblings looked to Piper. Piper sighed and stood.
"Until we know more about her, she's to be treated as with the potential to be hostile."
"Are you crazy Patience? No. Absolutely not. It's too dangerous!" Chris said, shaking his head at the teen. "Patience Halliwell-Are you on something?" he asked seriously. "What could possibly possess you to come here, show yourself to Mom and the Aunts, and then sneak into the attic and look through the book!"
Patience giggled. "Don't worry about it Chris. I have us on un-scyre-able until we make out a story.
"Un-scyre-able?! We're in the frikkin' Underworld!" Chris grabbed her and orbed away.
They reappeared on the top of the Golden Gate Bridge.
"FRIKKIN A CHRIS!" Patience said, ripping free of Chris' grasp. "What are we supposed to do now? Huh? Any other brilliant ideas Sherlock? They're going to find us now."
"Well good. Then they can help me get you back to the future. LEO! PAIGE!" Patience jumped on Chris' back, covering his mouth. "Paytiaenaence-" it was gargled and muffled by Patience's fingers and hand.
Paige and Leo formed on the top of the bridge. Paige jumped as she saw Chris being attack. She grabbed Patience's shoulder and orbed them all to the Manor. When Chris saw where he was he grabbed Patience from behind and dumped her on the couch.
"CHRIS!" she screamed, jumping up onto the couch. "LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID LOOK AT WHERE YOU BROUGHT ME!" she screamed angrily trying to take a swing at him. Chris grabbed her by the shoulder and shook her roughly.
"Patience! Shut up! You can't be here! You can't be in the present! You have to go back!" he said, his eyes narrowed. She ripped herself from his grasp and walked over to him, taking several hard punches into his stomach. He winced a little each time but took them in stride.
"Oh why don't you just come out and say it Christopher!" she ranted, her fiery sapphire gaze filled with tears. "I'm sick of playing this game. Don't think I don't know! Don't think I can't see it in your eyes!" Chris frowned at her.
"Paye what are you talking about?"
"Don't you Paye me! It's the reason you barely talk to me anymore! It's the reason you look at me like that! It's the reason you didn't tell me before you went to the past! Just come out and say it! Don't deny it!" she said, her eyes blazing. "You blame me for Chelsea's death!" there was a long silence.
"Oh god. Paye-"
"Don't you goddamn Paye me!" she said, jerking away from him as he tried to hug her. "Don't you remember Chris? We used to be a team. It used to be The Paye and Chris-Mister. Ever since she died, you don't want anything to do with me. You. blame. me." Chris shook his head feverishly.
"Paye. I don't blame you. How could you ever think that? I love you. You're my cousin. More like my sister. My twin even."
"BULL SHIT CHRIS! BULL. SHIT." she glared at him. "Well fine then. You want nothing to do with me. You'll have nothing to do with me. I'll be out of your life forever." she gave him one last desperate look, tears clouding and bubbling over her sapphire blue eyes. "Goodbye Chris." and she shimmered away.
