Present Mistakes
"So what do we do?" Jenny asked, wondering if being witches is what split up Piper and Dan, and Gregg frowned as he looked over at the book.
"We need to find out more about them, we need to chase off the sisters so we can find out more about them, find out just how evil they really are. Do I have your help?" he asked, and she nodded eagerly.
"Yeah cool, I'll help. If they are witches, does that really mean that they're evil?" she asked worriedly, and he nodded.
"Yes. To have supernatural powers, they must have entered into a pact with the devil, and that means they are heretics who must be stopped. But it will be dangerous, they might not want us to find out the truth about them, you might be in danger." Gregg warned, looking at the foul pictures of demons these witches must be working with, sowing discord and evil to further the Devil's aims and trying to bring down God's kingdom.
Jenny smiled.
"Don't worry, I can help! The girls just think I'm a stupid girl, but I'm smarter than they think! And besides, Piper seems to love Chris, but she let me stay here and got rid of him, maybe that'll be our way in." She said excitedly, and Gregg found his irritation with her vanishing.
"You got her to throw out the kid?" he asked in interest, and she nodded.
"Yeah, I was upset and she took my side. But I miss him now, I wish he was back here, he's so dreamy..." she said distractedly.
Gregg took her by the shoulder and looked at her intently.
"Jenny, you cannot become distracted! These are dangerous heretics who are trying to advance the plans of the devil, you must be careful." He said warningly, and she nodded meekly.
"Don't worry, I will. What do you need me to do?" she asked excitedly, eager to help.
After all, Dan had suddenly become insane because he had gotten back involved with Piper, and Jenny had always been annoyed with her because she always frustrated Dan when they had first gone out together. Could he have been the object of a spell gone wrong?
"My uncle was going out with Piper, and a few weeks ago he went nuts, he tried to kill Chris. Do you think she did something to him, drove him mad by accident?" she asked softly, and Gregg nodded.
"I think it's possible Jenny. They must be stopped. You never know, your uncle might get better if we stop these witches, but you'll need to be careful, they're a powerful evil and must be stopped. Can I trust you? They mustn't suspect anything, that we're on to them, or else they will try to stop us from bringing them to justice. And I can't allow that, and neither can you. Are you sure you're up to this?" he asked, and she looked up at the attractive fireman and nodded eagerly.
"Yeah. But what do we do?" she asked in interest.
Gregg smiled at her proudly.
"We try and find things out, try to find out just how dangerous they are. And if we can expose them, we ought to. Catch them in the act, see them using their powers, then we can move against them in the press and bring these people to justice for the heretics that they are. Are you ready?" he asked, and she smiled.
"Course. I want to help, this might fix uncle Dan, and then I can maybe get Chris. Do you think he's involved?" she asked, and Gregg shrugged.
"He might be, you can't let your sinful lust get in the way. But if not, we will try everything we can to free him from the sisters. Got it?" he asked with a smile, and she nodded.
"Yeah. So, we expose them as witches. I can't believe it, this is wild, they're actually real witches! Kind of cool in its own way I suppose. Witches, right beside us all that time, and now I know. This is so cool!" she said, and Gregg rolled his eyes as she began to prattle once more about how the girls had always seemed odd, and how they should have guessed they were involved in the supernatural.
She wasn't the best of accomplices but she would do. And if she was as good as she seemed to think she was with making people think she was stupid while she was actually quite clever, something he did rather doubt, then it wouldn't be long until he had them exposed for the monsters that they were.
And once he had exposed them, these heretics would be put to death the way witches ought to be.

Piper looked at Wyatt as he played in his travel chair, sitting on the floor of P3. She just wished she could talk to Chris, to see him and apologise, assure him in no way that she was trying to throw him out or choosing Jenny over him. But, there was no sign of her son, and she had to go home. Not that she didn't trust Jenny in the house on her own, and she had said that they wouldn't leave her alone anymore, but she'd had to go and check up on P3, Phoebe was away venting at work and Paige was away out on a date. But the idea of Jenny in the house was making her slightly edgy.
She was just about to pick up Wyatt when Chris orbed in, looking tired and dirty, and Piper looked at him tenderly, hating the hurt look he sent in her direction.
"Sweetie, are you alright?" she asked, taking into account the soot on him, and the fact that his clothes were slightly ripped.
"Yeah I'm fine. What are you doing here?" he asked, looking like he wanted to run off.
"I do work here. And besides...I sort of implied to my son that it would be better if he stayed here, and I was wrong to do it, and I was sort of hoping that I could see me kid and make sure he didn't hate me because I was stupid." She said sheepishly, and he smiled a little.
"I don't hate you mom, it's just..."
She walked up to him and wrapped him in a hug.
"I'm sorry honey. I didn't think, I just thought it would be the best option. It never occurred to me that it would just seem to you that I was trying to throw you out again." She said softly, stroking his hair gently.
"It's ok mom." Chris said as he melted into her embrace, and she smiled as he did so. Yeah, still a mommy's boy.
She sighed, and let go.
"Right, I suppose I better get back before Jenny sets anything else on fire." She said, and he narrowed his eyes.
"I still think she could be dangerous to us mom." He warned her, and she looked at him sadly.
"Sweetie, she's just a kid."
Chris looked at her, eyes angry and fearful at the same time.
"Yeah. Wyatt was just a kid too and he took over the world and killed virtually every good thing in it." He said, and she looked at her shoes before stroking his cheek with her thumb.
"Wyatt's a different case, he's magical. She isn't, all she is, is a teenager who thinks the entire world is against her and is nosey. That's all." She said, and kissed his cheek.
"Just be careful of her mom, that's all." He warned, and she waved in response as she and Wyatt left the building.
Chris frowned. No matter what way he thought about, there was still something deeply unsettling about Jenny staying in the house, other than the fact that he had been forced out to make room for her. The sooner the stupid little girl was gone the better, he thought savagely as he went for a shower.

"Piper?" Jenny asked at dinner, which Chris stayed absent for, much to Piper's dismay.
"Yeah?" she asked, trying to persuade Wyatt to eat some mushy peas.
"Know how you were talking about Chris' tattoo, and he said it warded off demonic possession? Do you guys seriously believe in that stuff?" she asked sceptically, and Piper smiled a little.
"Yeah we do, we believe in magic, is what so hard to believe?" she asked, and Jenny smiled and shook her head.
"No, not at all." She said innocently, though silently vowing to tell Gregg later on. With what they had in the attic, it was pretty obvious that they believed in magic, but she would need more proof than that, and she had to be careful, otherwise they would discover what it was she was up to.
She had to expose them, show them for what they really were, prove that Dan wasn't a bad person, and that she was clever. And if she exposed Piper and the others, Chris would be so impressed with her, he just wouldn't be able to say no, and the thought of him actually kissing her back this time was so exciting...
Smiling to herself, she continued to eat her dinner, images of Chris and her undressing one another playing in her head.

"Seriously? Picked On in Prescott?" Paige asked as she entered her sister's office the next day, showing her the title of the column she had written, which was clearly a reference to Chris.
"Well yeah, I did feel bad about going all Grams on him, it isn't his fault Jenny got carried away. What are you doing here?" she asked her sister, and Paige grimaced.
"Getting away from said Jenny, she's been prattling all morning about some show she watched about kids getting magical powers and kept saying how bad it would be, she was driving me nuts, I had to get out of the house." She explained.
"Yeah, she is a bit annoying after a while, I'd rather have Chris back." Phoebe admitted, and Paige smiled slightly.
"So would I, but it's only for a day or two more before she can go home, we can get Chris back, grovel to him and everything will go back to normal." She said, and Phoebe nodded.
"I know. Have you seen Chris?" she asked, and Paige shook her head.
"No. Piper and Leo both saw him yesterday, but I don't think he's happy with any of us. After all, it must have seemed like it did before, all of us ganging up on him, and then throwing him out all over again." She said awkwardly.
"Yeah I know, Piper feels really bad, but he did talk to her at least." Paige said, just as the phone rang.
"Hello." Phoebe said, and heard Piper breathing slightly heavy.
"A demon must have escaped Chris' one man army yesterday, it just attacked here. It escaped, but I have a summoning spell, only thing is it's power of three. Can you come home? I've tried calling Chris but he must be in the underworld again, and I'd like to deal with the damn thing before Jenny realises we're in the attic which we told her was off limits or worse comes across the demon and gets herself killed. Quickly please!" she said briskly, and Phoebe rolled her eyes, then glared at her sister.
"Look at this, we've kicked our nephew out and can't even kick ass properly all because you opened your big mouth and let Jenny stay with us." She said, standing up.
Paige looked at her irritably.
"I was being nice! And it's not my fault it all went a bit wrong somewhere." She said ruefully, as Phoebe put a sign on her door that said occupied.
"Yeah yeah. Come on, let's get home and deal with this demon, then later can track down Chris and tell him to tidy up after himself." Phoebe said, and her sister grabbed her arm and orbed them out.
XX
"Wait, you want me to leave all of a sudden?" Jenny demanded, as Piper ushered her towards the door.
"Well yes, I sort of need those things for dinner, and I forgot them, and seeing as you're staying here I was sort of hoping you would help around the house. That's all Jenny." She assured her quickly, sensing a tantrum in the offing.
"But Piper, you want me to be gone for over an hour, you said so yourself! Admit it, you don't want me around anymore!" she cried, and Piper shook her head, though was privately considering it, she missed her son, and he was a lot less trouble than she was.
"That isn't it at all Jenny, I just want you out of the house for a while, there's something I need to take care of, and I'll call you as soon as its done!" she promised, and unceremoniously shoved Jenny out into the street, making the girl pout.
So now, not only were they witches, but they were trying to get rid of her too. She couldn't let them do that, not when she had to help Gregg expose them, so she could win Chris' favour. But what if Piper was throwing her out in order to do something witchy? She smiled at the thought, and wondered how she might be able to slip back into the house without Piper knowing so as to catch the sisters in the act. She didn't want to miss this.
XX
"Why didn't Chris deal with it?" Paige cursed, orbing a knife at the demon, and Piper looked sheepish.
"I think he might have, this is kind of a different demon I've summoned!" she called nervously, as the horned demon turned around and threw another energy ball at them.
"What? You said he would be easy to deal with!" Phoebe snapped from her own hiding place.
"Well if I had summoned the right guy he would have been!" she protested, as the demon gave a roar and came towards her hiding place, making her curse.
Jenny had snuck back into the house, because, after straining hard outside on the porch, she had started to hear crashing noises and had eagerly snuck up the stairs to see what the noise was about, and when she pressed her eye to the keyhole of the attic, where the noise seemed to be coming from, she could see the sisters leaping away as a blue ball hurtled towards them.
"Lamp!" Paige yelled, and Jenny's eyes widened in shock as a lamp disappeared in blue balls and smashed somewhere in the room.
She had just seen a real life magical power! Gregg and her had been right, the girls were witches, and they had to stop them, before she or Gregg or Chris wound up the same way Dan had. What if the girls were trying to kill Chris, and they had set Dan on him so as not to implicate themselves?
"We need a vanquishing spell or potion, now!" Phoebe cursed, sliding to the floor beside her teo sisters.
"If this guy kills us, we're going to haunt you forever." Paige added bitterly, and Piper waved her hands impatiently.
"Alright, I made a mistake and summoned the wrong bad guy. We'd probably wind up vanquishing him eventually anyway." She said tartly, as another energy ball sped over them.
"Yeah, because your paranoid, neurotic son seems to want to vanquish the entire underworld by Christmas." Paige said, and Piper glared at her sister.
"Hey! Leave Chris out of this!" she snapped, and behind the door, Jenny's eyes widened. Chris was Piper's son? Surely that was impossible, Piper would have been about eight when she had him and that just didn't make sense, she paid attention in biology class.
The demon gave a roar, advancing on the sisters, who were desperately trying to locate the book, just as Chris orbed in. The demon turned to him and roared, and Chris flicked the demon into the ceiling.
"Mom, blast him!" he shouted, and Piper leapt up from behind the couch and blew up the stirring demon, and he gave a howl as he was finally vanquished.
Jenny looked on in excited delight. She had proof! Paige was definitely a witch, so was Piper. But where had Chris come from? And how the hell could he be Piper's son? She had to ask Gregg about this. Silently, she stole down the stairs and ran out of the house, calling Gregg as she did so.
XX
"So you're the one who tried to steal my demon." Chris said, helping his mother to her feet.
"Wait, so the scrawny guy I was trying to get earlier was being interrogated by you?" she asked, and Chris smiled.
"Yeah, I had to block your spell when you were trying to pinch him, and it sort of bounced, and it was just your bad luck that that demon came round the corner when he did. I didn't think much of it, I assumed some demon was after him." He said, and Phoebe and Paige hugged him.
"Do you hate us?" Phoebe asked, and he rolled his eyes.
"Yes. Now get off me you crazy old bats." He said with a grin and Phoebe shot him a disgusted glare, making Piper smiled.
"We shouldn't have ganged up on you, gone all Grams on you. And we sort of gathered that Jenny might have been the problem." She said softly, and Chris' face darkened.
"Where is the prissy little tart?" he asked sourly.
"Chris! That's a bit harsh." Phoebe scolded, and Piper shot her a look, which she pointedly ignored, going red as she did so.
"She's out at the shops that's all. I couldn't very well have her around while we went demon vanquishing." Piper explained, and Chris looked at her worriedly.
"Sweetie, I know you don't like her, and you think she could be a threat, but she's quite harmless." Paige soothed, and he looked at her sceptically.
"Why don't you listen to me? In the future, I told you Wyatt was going dark, you ignored me said it was just because he was missing mom, and next thing we know he's proclaimed himself emperor. I warned you about Dan too, and look where that got us. She can be a threat to us, she's already shown that she's as nosy as her damned uncle is, and she can't be trusted on her own. I don't trust her." Chris said, and Piper nodded.
"I know you don't sweetie, and you are right, she could be a threat to us. But for now, she's only a kid who is nosy and very good taste in men, even if she isn't the best of catches herself." She said, and Chris blushed a little.
"Just, keep an eye on her won't you?" he asked, and she nodded.
"Of course we will sweetie. You staying for dinner?"
Chris looked at the pleading expression on his mother's face, the want to have her son where she could see him, so she could make him feel like part of the family, rather than someone who could just be discarded whenever something else came along.
"Mom..." he said, and she looked at him pleadingly.
"Chris, please honey. Just stay for dinner." She begged, and he sighed.
"Alright, fine, I will. And aunt Phoebe, 'Picked on in Prescott'?" he asked with amusement, and she looked at him innocently.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." She said, and left the wrecked attic, which Chris mostly tidied up with a flick of his finger.
"Wait, that was about him? I thought that was about when you and Prue made me do everything I didn't want to do." Piper said irritably, and Paige smiled.
"Egotist. You sticking around?" she asked Chris hopefully, wanting to make it up to her nephew and he shrugged uncertainly, but Piper nodded.
"Yes he is, he's going to stay and bake with his mother, he's done enough vanquishing for one day. And Paige, you lucky girl, you get to entertain Jenny when she gets back and keep her out of Chris' way!" she said brightly, and Paige sighed in frustration.
"Thanks. I get all the crappy jobs." She moaned, and Chris shot her a superior smirk.
"At least you can do them from the comfort of your own home." He commented sarcastically, before heading down the stairs, leaving a guilty Paige, Piper and Phoebe in his wake.
"You know, I know he's got every right to keep doing that, but still, it does hurt when he does it." Paige lamented sadly, and Phoebe frowned.
"Maybe we should stop setting ourselves up for such emotional broadsides. Hey, did you consider it might be all three of our faults that he's such a wreck?" she asked musingly, and Piper grimaced.
"Yes I did, and I don't like that line of thought. But I think it's more to do with losing us than anything else, like the way we've treated him before, even if that hasn't helped. Well, other than you, you've always been a bitch to him apparently." She told her sister brightly before following her son.
"Yeah but he's starting to like me now!" Phoebe protested petulantly, before Paige orbed her back to the office.
XX
"Powers? Then this is far worse than I imagined, they are clearly followers of the antichrist, they need to be stopped." Gregg said as he stood outside the market, talking to Jenny.
"Their powers are cool though. But one thing I don't get, Piper said Chris is her son, and he was calling her mom. How can that be?" she asked, her concern for the man of her dreams growing.
"I don't know, the witch has probably enchanted him. He might not be able to be saved. It isn't his fault, and if the witches have gotten to him, God will be merciful in his judgement. Now, we need to get one of them to confess to it, because only through confession will we be able to adequately expose them and they can begin to repent for their sins. These powers are evil, and so are these witches." Gregg said, and Jenny looked at him sadly.
"But they still seem nice though, I don't see how they can all be evil. And I don't believe Chris is evil either, he's such a nice guy." She said, her voice lustful, and Gregg rolled his eyes.
"Oh, and he wasn't evil with the way he rebuffed your advances? He was cruel was he not?" he asked, and she looked at him uncertainly.
"Well, yeah, but that's only because he was shocked, not because he is actually nasty." She defended, and he smiled at her naiveté.
"As you say. Now, keep close to the witches. We can't give them any reason to suspect what we're up to. Try and find some way to force them to use their powers in front of you. We will expose them as witches."
"What about Chris?" she asked worriedly, and he prevented himself from rolling his eyes, albeit with great difficulty.
"If we can, we will save him. But if he has powers, then he too is a witch and must be killed, it's the only way to undo the acts of the devil, to prevent their dark takeover." He said, and she nodded.
Religious wackjob or not, he was as keen as she was to expose them, and if they were exposed, Dan would be free. Everything now made sense, why he and Piper had split up, why he had cracked, they were witches and had brought it on themselves. And now, she would be involved in the biggest expose of the century, by showing that witches still existed.
Smiling at the thought of how thankful Chris would be when he was freed from the spell he was under, she headed back to the manor.
XX
Chris and Piper spent the afternoon cooking, and Jenny was delighted when she discovered that he had come back as he came out to put freshly made bread on the table.
"Chris, you're back! I'm so glad to see you!" she said brightly, taking a few steps towards him.
Piper walked out of the kitchen with Phoebe in tow, and growled.
"If she takes another step towards my son, I won't be responsible for my actions." She warned, and Phoebe snorted in amusement.
"Yeah, I am. Jenny, maybe it would be best if you stayed at the other side of the table." He said, and she looked up at him, hurt.
"Oh, alright then. Are you still mad I kissed you?" she asked softly, and Chris looked in exasperation at his mother, who shrugged, there was really no way he could win the question.
"Yes Jenny. As I said, I'm not interested. At all." He said in as polite a voice as he could manage, and he saw tears come into her eyes, but he was strangely unbothered by that fact.
"Was I not a good kisser?" she asked miserably, and Paige looked at him sceptically, wondering how he would answer that.
"Um...no, not really, but it's mainly because I didn't want to be kissed." He said diplomatically, when in truth he had never enjoyed a kiss less in his life.
"Oh. Sorry." She sniffed, but before she could run off upstairs to cry into her pillow, Piper put her dinner down at her side of the table, the opposite end from Chris, and she was separated from him by Phoebe.
"Nice." Phoebe whispered, partly exasperated and partly amused, and he shrugged.
"Well I didn't like it, it was too wet and icky, and her lips tasted of cherry and I hate cherry." He said, and she snorted in amusement.
In contrast to their last dinner together, this one Jenny was relatively quiet for, her eyes red, and despite a few concerned attempts by Paige to make her talk, Jenny just sat eating her dinner in silence, which she did have to admit, was sort of a blessing.
The others continued to talk, and Chris had expected an interrogation, and instead the girls asked about his childhood before the world had gone to hell, which he wasn't that fussed about talking about, and he mentioned his brother several times, and the girls smiled at the news that he wasn't always a monster. In fact, Chris mused, if Jenny had tried to kiss him when his brother was around she'd have been sent running for the hills even before he had gone dark.
The dinner was packed away, and once more Chris went through to the living room, but Jenny once more followed, and when she sat on the sofa beside him, he purposely got up and sat on an armchair, rolling his eyes as he did so.
"Did you not like it that much?" Jenny asked tearfully, and Chris looked at her in exasperation.
"Jenny, I'm sure you're a nice enough girl," he lied, "but I really am not interested. I don't have time for a relationship, you're far too young for me, I barely know you, and considering how badly my last relationship ended, I'm not particularly keen on the idea of any girl at the moment." He said plainly, and she looked up at him with eyes that were brimming with tears.
"You like Piper and the others well enough!" she protested, part of her accusing, but the other part slightly curious, seeing if she could get anything out of him.
He was much too wily for that.
"They're like my family, that's all. I'm not going to kiss any of them any time soon." He said, slightly grossed out by the idea. Yeah, Paige looked great in this timeline but he still wasn't going to stick his tongue down her throat, that would just be far too weird, it had been bad enough kissing the trashy blonde who looked like Phoebe.
"Tell that to Piper! I can tell she really likes you!" she shouted, and he had to suppress a grin. He was her favourite kid after all, even now.
"And I really like her too, but it isn't like that. Not at all." He said firmly, and she pouted up at him.
"But I thought you liked me! After all, you left so as not to upset me!" she said, and he glowered at her.
"Let me make this clear. I left because Piper asked me, not because of you. And, I'm sorry Jenny but I just don't like you. In that way." He concluded so as not to totally upset her.
"We could be a nice couple though." She protested, and he shook his head.
"No Jenny, no way. Sorry." He said firmly, and once more she burst into heartbroken sobs and ran for the stairs.
"Mom? You're celibacy option is starting to look more attractive." He said grimly as Jenny slammed the door to her room above them.
XX
"Are you sure you'll be ok Jenny? I'm sorry about this, but Paige was insistent I go to P3." Piper said apologetically to the still emotionally unstable girl, and Jenny shrugged.
"I'll be fine, you do what you need to do." She said, and Piper looked at her worriedly.
"Are you sure you don't need me to stay with you? I'm sure this won't take long." She said, figuring her sister had found a demon in the club, couldn't reach Chris and was waiting for back up.
"I'll be fine, I'll just watch tv, and if I get hungry I'll make a sandwich or eat ice cream." She said, and Piper nodded, her eyes still slightly concerned. She still wasn't particularly thrilled with having to leave Jenny, but the message Dennis had called with telling her that her sister needed her had sounded quite urgent, and Phoebe was at work. Though she didn't understand why Paige didn't just orb home to collect her, it would have been much quicker.
"Alright. Be careful and I'll be back soon, then we can go out for lunch and have a day of pampering, Phoebe's only working half the day, she can watch Wyatt. How does that sound?" Piper asked, after all it was her son who had made the girl miserable, even if he was in his rights to do so.
"Yeah, cool." She said brightly, and Piper gave a last wave before heading out with Wyatt.
And now that they were gone, Jenny had to make a move. Chris was just like the others, in fact he was even worse. Why wouldn't he want to be her boyfriend? There was nothing wrong with her, she was a good looking girl, he would be lucky to have her. So why was he so disinterested? She didn't buy that nonsense about his last girlfriend dying, it just seemed so stupid, and she had looked him up on the internet, there was no mention of him anywhere. And it was clear that the sisters were on his side, even if they had forced him out to accommodate her. They didn't even care about her broken heart, or about her uncle. She'd come here wanting Piper to visit Dan, to make it better for him, but she hadn't wanted to, no she was having too much fun with a guy she should be with to go and see the man she had driven insane. They didn't care about her, they dismissed her as emotional and stupid.
They would soon see.
She phoned Gregg, grinning as she did so. She would make them all pay.
XX
"He's horrible, he doesn't want me! Why doesn't he want me?" she demanded, and while Gregg could think of several reasons he kept his mouth shut.
"You are committed to this plan then?" he asked sternly, and she nodded.
"They're evil witches, they don't care about me. Chris in particular, he hates me, he didn't even like my kiss! I don't care who he is, I want him to pay for what he did, for rejecting me. He's horrible, so are they." She pouted, and he smiled.
"That's because they serve the devil Jenny. But don't worry, pretty soon they will join their evil master, we'll send them down to join Lucifer. These evil doers are hurting people like you Jenny, and we can't allow that, we can't let them spread the devil's evil into our world. They are heretical abominations, and must be put down like the animals they are. Are you with me?" he asked, and she nodded eagerly.
Yes, with Gregg, they would definitely pay.
XX
Chris orbed into the attic, intending on checking up on a few demons he had encountered yesterday, see if he could figure anything else out about who was after his brother. He was wearing his new black shirt, and his hair was slightly waxed, combed back slightly to keep it from falling into his eyes when he was reading the book.
The book.
Chris looked around the attic, a feeling of trepidation filling him. He could hear the TV downstairs, and the attic door was wide open, but Dennis had said Piper was apparently going into the club, Paige was at yet another temp job and Phoebe was at work. That must have meant they had left Jenny in the house alone again. Shaking his head at their stupidity, he was about to go and close it when it occurred to him that his mother would never leave the attic door wide open while Jenny, who had already proved herself to be very nosey, was staying in the house. His mother would never be so stupid. Phoebe, possibly, Paige, slightly more possibly, but his mother, never. Chris frowned, and looked over at the book, sitting on its stand. Had a demon made a grab for it?
"Cool book." Jenny said from the doorway, making Chris jump, and he turned to glare at her, his green eyes narrowed.
"Jenny, what are you doing up here? And do you know how that door is open?" he demanded suspiciously, his nature getting the better of him.
"Yeah, I picked the lock. Cool magic book by the way. All those spells." Jenny said in excitement, stalking into the attic.
"You aren't meant to be up here. Get out." Chris said darkly, preparing to throw the stupid, nosey little girl out of the attic.
"Imagine what people will say when they find out you guys are witches!" she said in delight, and when Chris saw her wide, protuberant eyes, he knew she was just as crazy as her uncle was.
"Jenny, don't be stupid. There's no such thing as witches." He bit out, wishing he had memory dust.
"Sure there is, I saw your book yesterday. All of you are. Evil witches." She said smugly, and Chris bared his teeth.
This nosy little brat had known about the book since yesterday? He knew he should have forced the girls to get rid of her, she was dangerous, she should never have been allowed to stay here in the first place.
"You came up here, when it was locked for a reason? I don't know who your parents are missy, but they clearly sucked at enforcing rules on you. Rule number one, don't go snooping around in a house that isn't yours." He snapped, and she took a step back, hurt and ashamed.
"I wanted to see what you were hiding, and being witches explains the weird stuff in your freezer too. Wonder what people will make of that?" she asked, walking around towards the book.
"Jenny, I'm going to give you one chance. Back off, now, go downstairs and wait for the sisters." He ordered and she shook her head.
"No way. I want to look in the cool magic book." She said, reaching for the book, and Chris' patience snapped, and he flicked her over the room, shrieking as she flew and she crashed to the floor, and then glared up at him hatefully.
"You're as bad as everyone else! You're a mean witch! We could have been a nice couple but no, you rejected me! No one cares about me, no one thinks I'm worth anything, but screw you Chris, I'm showing you!" she shouted, furious tears in her eyes as Chris watched her tantrum impassively, standing before the book.
"I warned them about you, warned them anyone related to Dan was just as mad and twisted as he was, and I was right." He said, his eyes narrowed hatefully.
"You're horrible!" she yelled hysterically.
"Yeah? Well guess what? Life sucks. Deal with it." He snapped, and was about to orb her up there for his father to deal with when someone clamped a rag to his mouth.
Chris' eyes bulged as he inhaled chloroform, and he felt his body go heavy, and his eyes flickered before shutting, and he lapsed into unconsciousness.
Gregg, who had been hiding in the junk, smiled as he lowered Chris' unconscious form to the floor., and he looked at Jenny, who sniffed and picked herself up off the ground, smiling down.
Chris was totally still, barely breathing, his slightly open black shirt rising and falling, his face pale, his hair still in place and the rest of it splayed around him.
"What now?" she asked excitedly, taking in Chris' attractive, unconscious body.
"Now, we purge the wickedness from him." Gregg said with grim delight, looking at the boy on the floor and smiling crazily.
Oh not again! Chris seems to attract psychos doesnt he? And now hes at the mercy of two nut jobs.
This is the only update tonight, I'm not feeling too well, so apologies if it isnt as good as you wanted. Now, seeing as I will be behind in Supernatural, I will spend tomorrow finishing that chapter, but considering how it ends, I doubt I'll go beyond it, so you may very well get the last chapter of this tomorrow, it depends how well I do and how much time I take, though i hope to finish it tomorrow.
So, what will happen in the final chapter? What do Gregg and Jenny have planned for poor Chris? Will the girls be exposed by Gregg's obsession? And will the girls ever learn to listen to Chris when he tells them someone is no good?
Hope to update tomorrow, but until then, please read and review!
