I hope you had a very merry Christmas all of you, but please, please send a review, please!!

Chris Halliwell literally hung in mid air but he hardly noticed it.

Through his foggy mind he felt nothing but terrible and horrible pain, fear and hopelessness. It felt like all bad things, he ever went through were suddenly coming back to him all at once. Along with the pain of his bleeding wounds, he felt all the pain of all disappointments, embarrassments, injuries and otherwise. He found himself in magic school, where they bullied him, because his brother was such a famous witch, or when all the teachers came to him and told him to be more like his brother; he felt the envy like acid coming up his throat fighting itself through him. He felt the anger against his parents, the way they just pushed him aside, he felt how hurt he was, once he realized that Wyatt was always favored and he loved them so bad that it hurt to be mad at them. The tears that ran down his cheeks were flaming hot, burning his face that moved wreathing with pain from one side to the other as the guilt came up. He saw all the people he hadn't been able to save, heard their dying words, saw their eyes before they lost their lives, he felt all the times he failed and the pain that came along, he saw all the angry faces that were shouting at him, when he was being bad. There was his Moms voice..."I'm not letting you tell me, that I didn't do my job right!", he heard his Dad: "You can't always do what you want, you have duties being a part of this family!". Everything ever been said to him in an angry tone felt like strokes to his stomach and it went down to angry Milly, who had been angry with him most recently. When he pictured Milly's face some other feeling cankered him inside; jealousy. Raging jealousy of Clay or who ever Milly was with but him. He didn't even know about that before...

Milly herself still sat on the couch, nervously leaning back and fourth. She wasn't feeling right, her stomach ached with guilt for Chris' situation, fear and anxiety of the upcoming fight although she was eager to save him.

Bianca came over from Wyatt, Leo, Piper and Henry jr., whom they'd called to help them fight the Milavedus and orb Chris home at the first opportunity. They were studying the book of shadows as Bianca sat beside Milly.

"He's your first whitelighter, right?"

"Yap, and I killed him", she said deeply frustrated.

"No, you didn't. Wy would feel it, if he was dead. Anyway, for the Milavedus there would be no sense in killing him. They live by witch powers and usually they kill them because the concentration of witch powers is the highest in the moment of death but Chris is such a powerful, powerful witch that they even get more out of him, if they constantly simulate this dying moment. That means they are torturing him, probably with flashbacks into hurtful situations, strengthening bad memories and all bad feelings inside him. He's probably going to hell right now."

"And that doesn't upset you?, Milly asked noticing, that Bianca had said all this in cold blood as it seemed.

"Hell yeah, does it upset me. But I of all people need to control my temper...", she pulled up her shirt a little and showed Milly the red tattoo on the backside of her elbow.

"You are a phoenix", Milly said with a mixture of surprise and fear.

"I am, but I'm good. So there's absolutely nothing to be afraid about. Or why would someone like Wyatt marry me, if I wasn't good from the heart?"

"And you are also friends with Chris?"

"I know him since he is about two years old, he's like my little brother."

"I don't want to be the reason he's dying."

"He won't die, Milly."

"That would kill me as well" -Bianca gave her a knowing look and patted her shoulders a bit.

"Let's go!", Wyatt said from the winter garden and Bianca helped Milly up from the couch to pull her to the others.

"Oh, by the way", Wyatt said, "Milly, these are my Mom and Dad and my cousin Henry, Paige's son, peeps, this is Milly" She shyly shook hands with everyone until Wyatt continued.

"The plan is: Henry, Bianca, Milly and me are going. Milly will freeze couple of them Bianca will kick their asses, I'll take care of the rest, meanwhile, Milly will free Chris and Henry will orb them home, right?" -No response.

"Are we all clear with that?"

"Yes, sir!", Milly said with enthusiasm but nobody joined her. Her head immediately sank down and she fixed her shoes. Bianca gave her an amused look before Wyatt took Bianca and Henry took Milly's hand and orbed.

The "headquarters" of the milavedus was a huge cave system in the underworld but Wyatt led them straight through it, feeling exactly where his little brother was. Milly felt uncomfortable, she was scared and nervous. She always was just taught how the underworld was and how demons were killed but this was her very first time in practicing it in reality.

"Hush!", Wyatt said, "We are near him"

They took another curve and stood in a big stoned hall. In the middle of it, Chris hung in mid air, both arm spread wide from his body and feet together, his T-Shirt was slashed by something that must've been a whip and in this position he looked like crucified Jesus.

When Milly saw him, tears were filling her eyes, how could anyone hurt someone so bad?

Right in that second, seven Milavedus blinked into the cave.

"Milly!", Wyatt yelled.

It took her a moment to take her eyes off Chris, but she finally froze one after the other, while seeing that Wyatt was lifting some up, throwing them or choking them just by making a fist.

Bianca kicked every frozen demon, so it bursted into a million pieces but there kept getting more and more of them.

"Milly, get to Chris!", Wyatt said, throwing one demon against the wall so it bursted immediately.

"But how?", Milly said, freezing two at once.

"You'll see!", he yelled. The young witch fought herself through the iced figures, froze three others on her way and finally stood right under Chris.

Suddenly she felt that her feet left the ground, she was flying or aviating or something, she took a quick glimpse behind her and saw, that Wyatt was lifting her up, just by moving his forefinger. He really was the mightiest wizard she had ever seen. When she got to Chris, she threw her arms around his shoulders and suddenly felt gravity coming back again. But Chris was showing no move.

"Wyatt? What do I have to do?", she yelled freaking out.

"Hold on to him and wake him up! He's held up there by his bad thoughts, bring him good ones!"

More easy said than done!, Milly thought, trying her best to hold on and not fall fifteen feet down.

"Hey Chris, it's me!", she didn't know what to say and struggled with words, "I wanted to thank you. You really saved my life, you did a great job. We are all very proud of you!"

He showed no reaction.

"Come on, please, your Mom is waiting at home and your Dad and your cousins..."

No reaction whatsoever.

"Okay, I don't know what to say. Wake up, Chris! Do it for me, for your charge! I'm lost without you, without your rudeness and your arrogance, please, you can't leave me here. There is so much goodness inside of you! You don't need to be kept inside the evil in your head, break free of it. That's what it is all about. You were fighting so hard to push me away from you just to keep yourself from doing good. But you didn't succeed, I stayed and you saved me! Chris, you saved my life and now I'm here to save yours!"

---

Through his dizzy mind Chris heard another voice, a voice that wasn't shouting, that wasn't angry. A voice that was full of enthusiasm and warmth and he was dying to hear more of it. He was in the darkest depths of grief and this voice seemed like a beam of light that fought for him and gave him hope. There was something, something to fight for, if it was just hearing this voice loud and clear. So Chris fought, he desperately fought himself back into consciousness.

---

"Chris, wake up! I'm begging you!", Milly screamed at the motionless face. Suddenly his eyes began to move, like he was in the state of REM dreaming, she felt that he was longing to open them. "Come on!", she whispered with fading powers, "Come on, Chris!" Just a second and -he opened his eyes.

He blinked several times before he saw Milly. He managed to smile but before she could even say a word, they were falling like stones down towards the ground

"Henry!", Milly heard Wyatt shouting before passing out.

So, what y'all say? good fight? rather not, huh?! POST A REVIEW!!! thanks a lot!
