The next morning Chris woke up and shivered. He clambered out of bed and went to switch the heater on. He got dressed before sitting by the heater, warming up.

About half an hour later he heard a knock at the door.

"Hey, it's me, Amber."

"Come in," Chris replied, standing up and turning to face the door. Amber came in shutting the door behind and placed a tray down on the small table.

"I didn't know what you liked so I made toast and then there is some cereal as well."

"Thanks," Chris said and began eating, hungrily. Amber smiled.

"I have to go now. I'm meeting a friend. Maybe you will see her later." Chris nodded and mumbled goodbye as Amber left him alone, closing the door behind her.

Chris finished his breakfast and then started reading one of his favourite books. It was about magic. He had always had to hide it from his parents as magic wasn't allowed, but he didn't care.

After reading for a bit he became bored and went to look out the window. He thought for a few minutes before standing back closing his eyes and concentrating.

Orbs appeared around him and he disappeared. A second later the orbs reappeared and Chris orbed back in, landing on the floor with a bump. He groaned and stood up, rubbing his aching side.

Chris tried orbing again. He disappeared before reappearing a couple of seconds later, this time managing to land slightly softer though still on the floor.

He tried again and again and soon he had almost perfected it though he wasn't sure how he would be orbing any kind of distance.

He was glad that his Mum had never decided to bind his powers. She always said it was just in case and that she didn't want to have to use magic to stop magic. She stopped Chris and Wyatt using their powers and Leo had become mortal, though whenever he could he helped people. This was the first time Chris felt safe practicing magic, something that he had loved doing all them years ago.

He had lost a lot of family because of magic and, even though that upset him, he knew that they were also helping a lot of others. He sighed and sat down. He missed magic. He knew it was because of that one day though. The day he couldn't save Phoebe and Paige.

Tears began to fall down his face. He remembers how life had been. How his Dad had been good to him and helped him with magic. Everything changed in just a few moments.

Wyatt is the only one who still cares. He doesn't know what happened though that day. He doesn't realise how his Dad treats Chris or how his Mum looks at him.

Chris couldn't take that any more. He didn't want parents who didn't care and that life. Now in a strange way he misses it, but he has no plans to go back. He picked up his book again and began reading.

Time soon past and at midday there was another knock on the door. "Come in," Chris said and looked up as two girls walked in.

"Hi, I'd like you to meet Bianca."
