Here's another chapter! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own only Patience and Chelsea. Everything else is not mine. 5 cents won't buy you much in this world...
Chris sat down, his head in his hands. "Goddamn..." he mumbled, running his hands through his hair and over his face. Phoebe sat down next to him and put a comforting hand on his back.
"Chris, who is Chelsea?" Chris looked up, staring at nothing for a moment before turning to look at her. He gave a short bitter laugh.
"My soul mate." he said sourly. "Literally. We were destined to be together," he said, glancing around. "Or at least, there was a prophecy made saying that our children would change the magical world forever; an entire revolution of good magic. But she died before we even got married." he reached down his shirt and took out a long necklace on which two rings were together. He looked at them, turning them over and studying them. "The prophecy was never fulfilled." he looked up at Phoebe. "I believe it was meant to be fulfilled in a time where I had my brother to stand beside me." Paige sat down on his other side and Piper sat in front of him on the coffee table.
"Did you lose you brother also?" Piper said, frowning. Chris' heart skipped a beat. He had almost just blown everything.
"Yeah," he said, taking a deep breath as he looked at the rings in his shaking hands again. "Wyatt destroyed him. Before my very eyes." he let out a shaky breath.
"The night Chelsea died, we were hunting one of Wyatt's demonic clans. Patience and I had found them. Patience knew the way to vanquish them and wanted to waste them right away; I wanted to wait. We had a huge argument, and in the end I sent her to her room and locked her in. Who was I kidding," Chris said laughing bitterly again.
"I knew that room wouldn't hold her. I knew she would shimmer out as soon as she knew a way to trick me. I trained her, I would have done it! But my mom had died long before I was confident enough in my powers to try and pull the wool over her eyes. Even then, my mother was one of the most powerful witches ever. Chelsea was the one who knew she had gone missing, and went after her. We were all in the Underworld, fighting with the demons. I didn't think any of us were going to make it out alive. So, I gave the order. Patience was top priority. It was her they were after. First chance to get her gone, take it. I was fighting three of the demons, Chloe was fighting four, Chrissy had one, and Caitlyn had two. Chelsea had just wasted her three, and turned to Patience. She had just unchained her, when it happened. Chrissy's demon had sent her flying, and knocked her unconscious. He turned and," Chris took a deep breath and let his head fall into his hands again as he fought back tears.
"The demon sent a fireball, then an athame into Chelsea's back." he said after a moment, looking up and grasping the two rings in his hand. He took a deep breath.
"Chloe, Caitlyn and Chrissy rushed to their sister. Patience, Patience just couldn't do anything, but sit there with the dying Chelsea in her arms. I walked over, and I tried to heal her, but I couldn't. That was the night I lost my healing power. So I told her that I loved her. That I would always love her. And that I would find her again. And then I wasted every demon in sight." he said with bitter satisfaction. They sat there for a long moment, where Chris played with the rings again.
"Chris-," Phoebe started, but he stood abruptly.
"No one in the Resistance ever knew what happened there. All they knew is that 4 Magick Ones went in, and only 3 sisters walked out. Without Chelsea's power, they were stripped of their powers completely. They're only mortals now. They were lucky to keep their memories. The Angel of Destiny wanted to wipe them clean and send them on their way. But I couldn't do it. I couldn't let Chelsea's memory be erased like that." he sighed, pulling himself and his shell back together.
"Anyways, that's old news, and I'd really appreciate it if we didn't talk about it again. I had Bianca. She's the only person I ever loved after Chelsea. I could never blame Patience for Chelsea's death. If anyone, I blame myself."
"You're not to blame Chris-"
"We need to focus on getting Patience back." the Sisters stared at him amazed. It was Phoebe who stood and clapped her hands on her thighs lightly.
"Well, ok then. Well, we can track her can't we? If she's a witch-she is a witch, isn't she?" Chris nodded.
"One of the best my time will ever see. She shimmers because her father was a demon. Her conceivement was rather...unconsentual." he said wincing.
"Her mother was raped by a demon?" Paige said picking up the play on words immediately. Chris nodded.
"The prophecy said her mother would bring about the next Source. The demon just happened to look over the part where she had to be evil in order for Paye to be evil. She was taken from her mother at birth, and it wasn't until she was 9 years old that she was found and brought back to us. She had been living on the streets since she was 4, after the demon realized she was good. But she's never met her mother. Our mothers died two years before I found her. She's got a few demonic powers, shimmering, fireballs, conjuring, but most of her other powers are good. Telekinesis, empathy and molecular combustion." Paige scrunched her nose, but said nothing else.
"Ok, well, we'll skrye for her-"
"It won't do any good. She's either in the Underworld or she's got herself masked. She's still treated like the Queen she's legend to be in the Underworld by most demons. We've got to wait until she's vulnerable. Only then will her force field drop and will we be able to track her." Chris said, turning towards the door. "I'll be back later. I got some things to do." he said, and orbed out.
Well, that chapter went up fast! Probably because I was really inspired. Expect another chapter up soon, if not later tonight, then tomorrow or the day after. Thanks for the reviews guys! And NO! SHE IS NOT COLE'S KID! The demon that fathered Patience is not Cole and will not play a central part in this story.
