CHAPTER 2

"Piper, are you okay?" Paige starred at her older sister, who seemed to be lost in her thoughts.

"Yeah fine, why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, the things Chris said, could he really be telling the truth?"

"That lying SOB wouldn't know the truth if it hit him in the face, there is no way in hell I would allow my son to grow up evil!"

"I know but Piper shouldn't we at least look at his research, just in case we need it."

"Please tell me that you don't actually believe that your nephew could do the things Chris claims?"

"No but we've got to face it there are always gonna be demons after Wyatt and if Chris's research can help us eliminate some of those threats then I say hell yeah we use it."

"Fine you do what you want but I'm gonna look in the Book of Shadows for a way to block Chris from orbing in here but still allow you and Leo to. I wasn't kidding when I said I don't want him back in my house."

"Okay, I'm gonna go get Phoebe and see if she wants to help me."

"Whatever." Piper was already flipping through the book as Paige left the attic hoping the middle sister would be of more help than the oldest.

Later in the attic

"Okay Paige let's see what we have here." Phoebe said as she dumped the box of Chris' work on the table.

"Maps, timelines, books, man Chris is more neurotic than even I imagined." Paige quipped as she stole a glance at Piper still standing in front of the book, flipping pages frantically.

"Wait a minute, what's this… UH." Phoebe started to speak before being pulled into a premonition.

A teenage Chris stood covered in blood as he screamed to the heavens, "someone please help me… dad… anybody please you have to help her… mom hold on help will be here soon… you can't die. You can't… I'll be alone… I love you mom… please hold on."

"Chris sweetie… listen to me… I… love… you, never… forget that."

"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I should be able to heal you." Chris dropped to his knees gathering his mother in her arms as she spoke her last words through ragged breaths.

"Not… your fault… I love you!"

"Damn you Wyatt, damn you. I swear to you mom I will fix this."

Phoebe collapsed to the floor as the emotions flooded her; Paige was the first to reach her with Piper not far behind.

"Phoebe honey are you okay?" Piper demanded pulling her inconsolable sister close to her.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Phoebe whispered as she tried to separate Chris' emotions from her own.

"What did you see?" Paige wasn't sure she wanted to know but something told her they all needed to, it would bring them one step closer to understanding the whitelighter from the future.

"Give her a minute Paige; she's clearly not able to talk right now."

"No Piper, I have to do this, I've never been able to get a read off him but God the pain, it's so intense, how does he live with it?"

"Slow down Pheebs, breath, you need to calm yourself and then you can tell us what you saw." Piper was growing concerned for her sister's health, her breathing had become erratic and she had started to cry uncontrollably once more. Gathering her strength to carry on Phoebe pushed the feelings out of her mind, taking a deep breath she faced her sisters and prepared to relay what could possibly be Chris' worst nightmare.

"I'm okay, it's just well Chris is always so composed, I never knew how deeply he felt, makes me almost glad I can't get a read on him, I couldn't handle being in the same house with him."

"Can you tell us about it now?" Paige was anxious for answers.

"Yeah, I saw his mother dying, he was a teenager, he was there when it happened and no one came to save her. He screamed for his father to come, he screamed for anyone and no one came, he was alone, he blamed himself and with her dying breath she told him it wasn't his fault and that she loved him."

"Poor kid, I know what that feels like, to blame yourself for your parent's death, maybe I should talk to him."

"But Paige you overcame it, I don't think Chris has, he promised his mother he would fix it. I think he still feels responsible and he's on a path to right a wrong."

"What does that have to do with him coming here, what does saving Wyatt have to do with his mother's death?"

"Oh well Piper, there's something else." Phoebe trailed off as she found herself under her sister's glare.

"Spit it out then, what does Wyatt have to do with any of this?"

"Before he promised his mother he would fix it, he screamed damn you Wyatt. Don't look at me like that because I have no idea what it means but I have a feeling this will tell us."

"What is it?"

"It's a journal, Chris' I think."

"What are you waiting for, give it here."

"Piper it's his journal, should we read it?"

"Yes, if it'll give me some answers, I need to know what he's up to; I need to know why he's really here."

"Fine, I'll read it out loud then."

"No Phoebe, you shouldn't touch anything of his, seeing as how it has affected you. It's my decision ,so give it I'll do it."

Paige was taking the scene in quietly, she wanted to find out about Chris as well but she wasn't sure about invading his privacy like that.

"Paige you have any thoughts you wanna share?" Piper saw the look on her sister's face and knew that she was as torn as Phoebe on this.

"I'm not sure we should be doing this?"

"You're the one that wanted to go through his things to begin with, besides he threw it in the pile with everything else didn't he?"

"Yeah but maybe it was by mistake, he was pretty upset, he may not have realized what he did. He's so secretive about the past, why would he give us his journal, it doesn't make sense."

"Neither of you have to stay here, I can do it on my own, but one way or another I'm reading it."

"We're in this together, I'm staying." Paige declared and Phoebe nodded her support as well.

"Okay then, why don't we go to the couch then and get off the floor, Phoebe I mean it don't touch anything else of his."

"Yeah yeah I know."
