I want to thank everyone who has read and reviewed this story so far. You guys are amazing, this story is really for the readers, you are out inspiration to write.
I didn't really mean for it to be confusing, if you get lost, you can always say.. What! Hang on! And I'll work better to make it more clear, but for now... Keres is from Chris's future. They know each other, so... it'll be funny to see how that'll turn out.
Hope you enjoy.
Keres soon found herself not that far from the bridge. A smirk crossed her face as she gazed up at the bridge. She really didn't know what had drawn her to this place. A cold breeze came in from the water and she shivered. A rough voice caught her attention behind her and she turned to see a man holding a knife on a woman. She rolled her eyes at the sight. They never learned.
She rubbed her eyes as she quickly thought up something and with a mighty roar, a lion appeared not that far from the man's side. He spun around to face the large wild cat and dropped the knife. His attention on the woman forgotten. He quickly took off with the cat following him. She let them run about a few yards before she waved her hand and the cat dissolved in a puff of mist.
"Showing off?" a voice called out from behind her, and she turned to face a man dressed in all black. "That was a cheap parlor trick." He stepped closer to her, and she quickly got the sense that this man wasn't any good. He reeked off evil and dark power. Suddenly she was hit by fears she hadn't felt since she was a child. "You will know that I will get to them, young one. Nothing you or that boy will do can stop me."
"Wanna bet," she hissed through the pain, causing him to glance up to see a large polar bear standing up behind him. He waved a hand and the bear was gone. "So, my powers aren't as strong as yours. So?" She rolled as the man turned to face her. "I know more than you will ever."
"We'll see about that…" She rolled her eyes at the thought of him getting inside of her head. That just wasn't right. No one had the right to do that. She knew that Halliwells had special powers, but none like that. "In time, puppet, you'll learn to adore me."
"Oh, I really don't think so," she barked at him as she turned toward him. A wicked smirk crossed her face. "Just because I have some of the same powers as you, I'm going to be just like you?"
Darkness flooded his eyes, as he took a step toward her. "Now, child, what do you fear the worst," he said softly, causing her to glance up at him. "The loss of your entire family in that raid or the lose of the one that you love and adore. The one you can't seem to remember."
"Oh, I'm tired of playing now," she snapped, as she took a step back away from him and clapped her hands together and then threw them back at him, palms out and opened handed. His eyes grew wide as he was hit by an orange and white colored Sonic Pulse. He went flying up in the air. "No one talks about my past." She smirked as he landed hard. "Not even you, Barbas." She rolled her eyes at him. "You really should try to think of a day job."
"Insolent child!" Barbas snapped at her, causing her to snicker, before she disappeared in a wave of bright orange lights. He let out a growl as he turned to leave himself. "Mark my words, child you will be mine."
The Charmed Ones sat in the kitchen not really understanding what just happened. From what they all could figure out, she was a witch or something as powerful as one, from the future, and from Chris' future since he apparently knew her. Phoebe was trying to get around the fact that she was from the future. "Do you think that she is one of ours?" she finally asked, breaking the eerie silence, causing the other two to turn to look at her. "Well, we don't know. Chris is Piper's, and there could be more."
"Yeah, and I'm sure that she's all warm and fuzzy when it comes to us too, Phebes," Piper replied, causing her Empathic sister to wince. "Hon, you saw how she reacted around us. That's not one who's been apart of this family."
A soft jingle was the only warning they got for the arrival of Leo. "She who?" he asked as he looked over at Piper.
"A friend of Chris'," Paige filled in as she ventured forward to take the tiny toddler from Leo's arms. "You know the type. From the future, chalked full of powers and such."
A frown crossed Leo's face. "I better check with the others to make sure that this one is legit this time and not trying to hurt you or Chris." He then was gone in a rush of orbs.
"Well we at least know that he trusts here," Paige replied with a sigh, as she turned to head toward the door only to run into Keres. "Oops."
The Future girl didn't pay the Charmed Ones' any attention as she moved past them, only to stop at the door way and shoot a glance at the Toddler in Paige's arms. She shook her head before glancing around the kitchen. "Why does this place look so familiar?"
"Cause it was the place where you died . . . " a voice whispered into her mind, causing her to shiver. Keres quickly shook off the cold feeling and headed toward the living room. She had a feeling deep down that she had been in this house before but she couldn't remember when or for what reason. Chris had to hold the keys, somehow. She shot a glance at the pictures on the wall. She should know who they were. "But you don't. You don't know anything. You are nothing to them . . . "
Keres shivered again as she kept on walking. A sense came up behind her causing her to react first without thought. She called forth a lamp without even speaking for it, and it crashed into the person's head. She quickly spun around to face a fallen Chris on the floor. He looked the same as he had when he had saved her, minus the fresh cut on his forehead. "I'm so sorry . . . " she stuttered as she glanced down at him. "I didn't know that you were behind me."
Chris quickly grabbed onto her hands and held them down to her side. "Easy," he whispered to her. "You don't know the extent of all your powers right now. I don't want to be sent to my early grave, cause you can't control them."
Keres frown as those words rolled around in her mind.
Keres came running into the wall. She finally got frustrated with it and threw out her hand only to have a thick heavy vase appeared in her hands surrounded by the orange lights. "Oops," she muttered, as she placed the vase down on the couch.
A soft chuckle came from behind her, causing her to spin around to face a very cheerful looking Chris. She threw up her hands at him. "Easy there, Keres," he teased, as he came up and tapped her hands. "I don't want to be sent to my early grave, cause you can't seem to control your powers just yet."
She let out a frustrated sigh. "Chrissy, how did you learn how to work your powers?" she asked him, as she turned to watch him walk around. "You guys all ways have control."
"Not always," he replied, as he came up behind her, and ran his hands along her arms. "You're over thinking it. That's something you should never do with a very active power."
"I don't have an active power!" She then went to rub her nose and threw out her hands. She jumped as something shattered. "What was that?"
Chris chuckled, as he came up to look at her. "I'd say that's an active power."
Keres blinked up at Chris. "I'm so confused," she whispered to him, only to be shoved aside by the others. "I didn't mean to hurt him."
"Yeah, we're sure about that," Piper snapped at the girl as she reached for Chris only to come across a force field. "Wyatt!"
"It's not his," Phoebe pointed out, as she pointed to the strange coloring of it. Where Wyatt's was blue, this one was orange in color. Phoebe turned to the girl to see her concentrating on Chris. "Piper, step away from Chris."
"No, he's hurt," Piper replied as she took a step toward Chris only to have Phoebe yank her back as objects smash into the floor around the bubble that surrounded Chris "What the . . . " They all turned their head to see Keres. She looked lost and confused all at the same time.
Paige moved toward Keres. "Keres?" she called out to her. "Keres!"
"It's no use," Chris called out to them. "She's lost control of her powers." The air crackled a few seconds and the Charmed Ones turned to see her eyes roll in the back of her head before she hit the floor hard. "And now she'll sleep."
"Can you get out of there?" Phoebe asked Chris, as they all got to his feet. He simply smirked, as he drew the Charmed Sign on the force field and it disappeared in a show of sparkles. "Wow . . . that was flashy!"
"Keres was one for flashy," Chris pointed out, as he slid across the floor next to her. "But I don't understand. She shouldn't have any of these powers. Last time I saw her, she only had her moving one and the Apportation one. Not any of the ones she portrayed today."
"Like no force fields, or the un-canning urge to protect you at all costs?" Paige threw out, causing them to look over at her. "Well I'm just saying."
Keres started to move under Chris' hand and she opened her eyes. They grew wide in fear and then changed color for a moment. The Charmed Ones' froze when they heard a loud growling noise behind them and they turned to see a Tiger sitting in their living room. "I'm going to add the power to either Conjure or something close to that in her all together growing list of powers," Piper muttered, as she glanced at the tiger now moving close to her. "Nice Kitty."
A/N: More of Keres' past and what real powers that she has revealed.
More to come.
