CHAPTER 6

"Phoebe, Paige!" Piper screamed coming out of the attic.

"In here Piper." Paige answered giving her middle sister a look that could only mean what now?"

"What's up honey?" Phoebe asked wondering what had caused the distress that clearly showed on her older sisters' face.

"We need to talk," Piper looked down as she continued. "I called Leo, had him take Wyatt up there, I don't want him here until I know its safe."

"Okay sweetie, come on lets sit down." Paige said pulling her sister's hand, leading her toward the kitchen table.

"I don't want to sit!" Piper said pulling her hand away. Seeing the look of hurt cross her baby sister's face Piper added. "Sorry Paige."

"It's okay."

"Okay look after you guys left, I read some more of Chris' journal, I… it was awful. His cousins, they were all murdered in front of him, and Chris did either of you know he was an empath?"

"No." The other two answered looking shocked at that revelation, Phoebe especially.

"Oh no!" Phoebe gasped as she realized that he had felt the deaths of his family. "The pain would be to much, how could he possibly survive those feelings?"

"I don't know." Piper answered honestly.

"What? How? Why?" Paige asked dread building in the pit of her stomach knowing she wasn't going to like the answer.

"Wyatt." Piper whispered as the emotions overflowed.

"So you believe him?" Phoebe questioned.

"I don't know, I just don't know but Paige was right before, I can't take the chance that my baby grows into the monster that Chris talks about, the ruler of evil, I can't let that happen." Piper admitted in defeat.

"I think we should call Chris and get some answers out of him." Paige said.

"You're right, I know you're right, it doesn't make seeing him any easier plus I'm not sure he's gonna come when we call him." Piper said.

"We have to try." Phoebe said.

"Chris, please we just want to talk." Paige said.

"Chris, come on we're not gonna hurt you." Phoebe added.

"He's not coming." Paige said.

"Chris get your ass down here right now," Piper screamed, "I mean it right now, don't make me summon you."

As she opened her mouth to try again the room was filled with the familiar blue orbs and there stood before them a broken boy.

"Chris are you okay?" Paige went forward only to have him orb to the other side of the room.

"What do you want?" Chris demanded.

"We want to talk to you, can you please explain why you came back?" Paige asked nicely.

"Paige I've already told you to much, you weren't suppose to find out that Wyatt turns evil, only that I was here to save him."

"You're an empath?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah."

"How? The pain how did you live through that?"

"Future Con.."

"No don't you dare say that, you can not come in here tell me my baby is the future source of all evil, that he kills innocents and leave it at that. You will tell us what we want to know or I will blow you back to the future." Piper fumed.

"Look Piper, it could make the future even worse than it is now."

"I don't care Chris, you will answer us, we can always make you tell us."

"Fine I'll tell you what I can but you need to understand, there are just some things you can't know."

"Why did Wyatt kill your family?"

"He wanted them to join him, they all refused so he either killed them or had his demons do it." Chris said with a faraway look in his eyes.

"Why, what made your family so special?"

"Their power, Wyatt wanted to control the most powerful sources of it, good or evil and he would stop at nothing to gain it all. In my world you either joined him or died no matter who you are."

"That's not true now is it Chris?" Piper demanded.

"Still don't believe me huh Piper?"

"That's not what I meant, he didn't kill you, why? You say Wyatt wants power and you say you're the only one strong enough to stop him so why hasn't he just killed you?"

"The same reason I can't kill him, I care to much."

"So you guys are friends then?"

"Were friends, Wy was my best friend growing up, and well I'd rather try and save him before he turns than have to kill him."

"Piper, you know he's lying to you." Barbas said as Piper cocked her head to the side.

"You're lying!" Piper screamed.

"Piper!" Paige said.

"Oh come on Chris, you know she doesn't care about you, it's all about Wyatt, never you." Barbas was now standing beside the young boy playing on his fears.

"It's always about Wyatt with you isn't it?" Chris cried.

"He's evil Piper, he's here to hurt your baby boy." Barbas was enjoying this, thinking he couldn't wait until the eldest Charmed One finds out that she's kills her own son.

"I'm going to kill you." Piper screamed throwing her hands up hitting Chris in the arm.

"You always knew if it came down between you and Wyatt your mother would pick him, you were a mistake, nothing more than a thorn in their sides. They will never love you, never accept you as one of them." After setting the stage he shimmered out.

"You'll never accept me, I'll always be last in your eyes, it doesn't matter now, I don't matter, go ahead Piper KILL ME!"

Holding her hands up Paige and Phoebe finally snapped out of the shock they were in and grabbed Piper's hands just as she threw a blast Chris' way, a blast that would most definitely be fatal.

"Piper what the hell is wrong with you?" Paige demanded an explanation, holding on to her sister's hands.

"Let her go Paige, it won't matter much anyway, if my death makes her feel better about her son becoming the source of all evil, killing thousands of innocent people then so be it. I'm not important!"

Phoebe had never seen so much hurt in a person's eyes before and the pain that was radiating from him was crushing her.

"Chris." Phoebe said rushing to his side, grabbing him by the arm she was pulled into a premonition.

"Oh God!" She said as she fell to the floor. "Oh Chris I'm sorry." Phoebe didn't know what to say considering what her nephew had done to him and he was still fighting to save him.

"No Phoebe stay away, I gotta go. Piper you won't have to worry, I won't be back ever, I… just want you all to know… I only wanted to save my… family." And Chris was gone, he orbed out.

"Piper what's wrong with you, he was talking and you attacked with no warning, are you crazy, he'll never talk to us again." Paige screamed.

"I couldn't take anymore of his lying, why the hell did you get in my way?"

"I can't talk to you anymore, Phoebe are you okay honey?" Paige went over and wrapped her arms around the sister that she could help.

"Yeah, why would he want to save him?"

"What did you see?"

"His cousins dying, just the way he described it in the book, it was torturous! I think I know why he has no memory of escaping, after killing them all in front of him… oh GOD!" Phoebe overcome with what she just witnessed collapsed in her baby sister's arms.

"Shh, it's okay sweetie, you're okay." Paige cooed to Phoebe as she was a baby.

"No Paige, you don't understand it was bad, really really bad. Wyatt he… he tortured him for hours, throwing him against the walls, energy balls… he hit him with so many energy balls that his entire chest was black. Then just as Chris was about to pass out he said, it doesn't have to be like this Chris, all you have to do is join me and it'll all be over. Chris begged him to kill him but Wyatt only laughed and said it's better this way, then he God he's so evil, he turned the demons lose on him, I don't know how he survived but he did and he's come here to save the man responsible for killing his mother and his cousins. And somehow he loves him, he can't kill him and we've treated him worse than we've treated demons, oh… Paige we've been so wrong, we gotta figure a way to fix this."

Piper had been standing over to the side watching quietly when all of a sudden she ran up the stairs leaving the two holding to the only comfort they could find, each other.

Rushing into the attic Piper was distraught, yes she was still upset with Chris, no she still didn't know if she believed him completely but truly all she wanted was answers. Phoebe and Paige orbed in just as Piper sat down on the couch burying her face in her hands.

"Piper?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't know what came over me, one minute we were talking and the next, well you saw what happened, all I could think of was that he was lying and he was here for my baby. I didn't mean it, oh my God I hit him."

"Yeah in the arm but it didn't look to bad Piper, he'll survive the blast, it's your words that may kill him." Phoebe said sadly coming to sit by her oldest sister, Paige quickly followed suit.

"My words, but why would my words…"

"I don't know Piper, but for a while I could feel him, really feel what he was feeling and he has this incredible love for our family, you especially and he was hurt beyond words when you blasted him but not from the wound itself but from the reason behind it. You called him a liar, but when you told him you were going to kill him, his heart broke, he decided he was better off being dead."

"But why?" Piper wanted to know.

"Maybe we should go back to the journal, maybe the answers are there." Paige suggested.

"It's worth a shot, I'm pretty sure he won't be coming back here anytime soon for us to ask." Piper agreed.

Picking up the book Piper turned to page where she had closed it only an hour earlier and sank back into the couch beside her sisters.

Mom, it's me again and I don't know what to do! Everyone is gone now, he got the aunts, I'm sure you know this though as you have all been reunited. Please tell them I'm sorry, I should have known it was a trap before I sent them, it was suppose to be a standard rescue mission. Word came down that he was holding a group of white lighters and was making plans to dispose of them as a further attempt to prove his power, we checked the place out and the only guards there were lower level demons. It should have been an easy rescue so I decided to send the aunts in so I could concentrate on a new plan to stop it all from happening, that was my mistake.

They didn't think it wise to take a large group since it was only a couple of guards and I agreed, what we didn't know was that the place was enchanted and only allowed us to see what he wanted us to see. Undoubtedly what you can't see can hurt you, Wyatt was there, waiting for them, he knew they would come seeing as how one of the white lighters was a member of our family. Once they got there they were killed, I don't know how, they called to me only after he left, by then it was to late for either of them, there was no chance to save them, the white lighters were all killed as well, uncle K among them.

I held them as I did you while they also took their final breaths, and just as you did they used the last of their strengths to encourage me to go on, to keep fighting another day, and to remind me of their love for me.

I miss them so much mom, but I have found comfort in the fact that you are all together, that they are both with the mother that was taken from them to soon in life, and that Aunt Paige will finally get to meet the sister that she had longed to meet since first finding out she was a Charmed One.

I love you, Chris

"Oh my God, Chris is my nephew." Paige whispered.

"And Piper's son!" Phoebe cried.

"What? How? It can't be?" Paige didn't know how this could be.

"It has to be Piper, we were the two that never had a chance to know mom."

"Oh my God," Piper cried as she fell to the floor cluching her stomach as she came to the realization that the boy she had been so cruel to was her son. "What have I done?" She gasped as she felt the vomit rise in her throat, but didn't care, all she cared about was how she could treat her own flesh and blood like he was a nobody. "My son? How could I have not known? Oh my God!" She said as she grabbed the trash can sitting beside her and emptied her stomach but felt no better, there was nothing she could do to take away all she had said and done. "I tried to kill my own son?" She said as her actions came back to her, causing her to fall to the floor and cry for the son that she had destroyed moments ago.

Hope this was okay, I don't do dialogue well but I hope everyone stuck around for the reveal.
