Chapter 5

The sisters finally saw light, or at least a grey sky. They saw the Golden Gate Bridge a few miles away, but different. It was destroyed, crumbling, with half of a tower blown off, and the rest was clearly beyond recovery.

"Chris," Piper asked as she looked around her. There were crumbled buildings everywhere, and in the distance she could see a tiny dot flying around in the air. "Where the hell are we?"

The brunette man seemed to snap out of a trance. In a dazed voice he answered, "We are in the future."

The sisters looked at each other and Phoebe said in a whisper, almost as if she were scared of her voice, "But how? How could the future be so….dark? Evil?"

The witch-lighter merely said "Wyatt." And as Piper looked straight into Chris' eyes, she could somehow tell Chris wasn't lying. They suddenly heard a faint voice from the side of them. "What was that?" Paige asked. "Let's go find out," said Chris.

As they moved to where they heard the voice, the sisters and Leo noticed that they were moving behind bushes, trees, destroyed houses and buildings, and deduced that Chris was trying to keep them hidden for a reason, possibly from unwanted visitors. Chris suddenly stopped and the sisters looked around them at what Chris found.

They spotted 2 girls surrounded by 4 or 5 demons. One had dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes that sparkled underneath the obvious horror she had seen in her young life as she couldn't be older than 16 or 17. The other had shining black hair and beautiful baby blue eyes. She looked about the same age as her friend. Both of the girls had potions in their hands, and looked more than ready to fight.

The sisters finally turned around when they heard Chris mutter "Crap." "Chris, do you know them?" Phoebe asked. "Yes. That's my cousin and her friend." 'And Eb is also my sister-in-law.'

They watched as the two girls easily vanquished the demons, until one shimmered behind the brunette- Chris' cousin – athame in hand, ready to strike. Chris suddenly flung out his arm and the demon went crashing into a crumpled building.

The girls instantly turned to see it. They turned back and the black-haired girl shimmered a crossbow into her hands. "Where and who are you?" cried out the brunette.

Chris stood from the bushes and said "Put down the crossbow Ebony, before you kill me please."

The girls looked at him in shock, and as her grip loosened, the crossbow fell to the ground with a loud 'thump'.

The brunette raised an eyebrow at Chris and said "What's my middle name?" Chris immediately responded "Andria. A-N-D-R-I-A."

The girls instantly ran to him and he wrapped his arms around them, giving them each a kiss at the top of their heads.

When they pulled away, the girls had tears in their eyes, but they refused to let them fall. Chris gave them an eye and said "Ebony-Lynn Amanda and Parker Andria, do you two have a death wish? Because going after demons classifies as a death wish…..Wait, where's the third musketeer? Where's Amy?"

Parker rolled her eyes at her paranoid cousin. "Parker, don't you dare roll your eyes at me like that. Where is she?!?!" Chris demanded, getting more and more worried by the minute.

"Christopher Perry Halliwell!" Parker yelled, thinking her cousin was going to go suicidal with worry. "Calm down! Amy is at home. She stayed behind to cover us."

The sisters and Leo watched this interaction until what Parker said finally registered in their heads. "Halliwell?" Phoebe whispered. "Chris, a-are you rel-related to us?" She stuttered.

Chris sighed heavily and ran a hand through his hair. "Thanks Blabbermouth." He muttered to Parker. "The-they don't know?!?!" "Chris!" Parker and Ebony scolded him.

"Eb, Parker, home," he ordered. Parker and Ebony's eyes widened. "But-" but Chris cut them off. "Now."

Before Parker could protest again, Ebony grabbed her hand and shimmered them "home".

Chris finally turned to look at the sisters and Leo. His eyes went to his mother's immediately, hoping she would get the message. She gasped as she looked into Chris' eyes, and saw Leo. "Yo-you're mine. A-and Leo's. Leo he-" she turned to tell Leo the shocking revelation, but stopped herself when she saw that he already knew.

"The bridge," she whispered, all the pieces forming a puzzle now. "That's what he told you."

"Yeah," Chris said, finally speaking. "I-I'm your son." Paige had a confused look on her face. "So, if you are Piper and Leo's son, then who are Parker and Ebony?"

Just then an energyball came flying at them. They ducked just in time, and Chris yelled "Grab hands!"

They obeyed, and Chris orbed them to a gathering of dying bushes. He pushed two of them apart to make way for them. The sisters and Leo saw a fairly large hole in the ground, cleverly concealed by the bushes.

"Jump in." said Chris, and they looked at him as if he were crazy. "It's safe. Come on, don't you trust your son and nephew?"

Finally, Phoebe went first, followed by Paige, Piper, Leo, and Chris. They arrived in a small room where a boy of about 16 or 17 years old was staring at them in amazement.

He snapped out of it when he saw Chris. "Chris, you're back!" he exclaimed.

"Wow, Conner, you're a genius!" Chris responded, as sarcastically as possible. Conner's face dropped. "And you're still as sarcastic as ever."

Chris just smiled. "Where are they?" he asked. "In the conference room, or at least most of them are."

Chris nodded and headed toward the door, when Conner said "Chris, we really missed you, all of us. Especially Alex and Mel and Prue. And Alex said that Lily can barely sleep through the night with out crying for you."

Chris nodded and the sisters and Leo looked at him curiously, but didn't say anything as they saw a look of longing on Chris' face. He went to open the door to a big room with a long table in the center and 8 people seated in it.
