a/n: Sorry this hasn't been updated for a while guys, I've been trying to
finish my first story and have been neglecting the others until it was
done. I can only handle so much at one time! Damn school....4 more weeks and
I'm done! For 3 months....but still! Newho on with the story.
Chapter 5
Chris appeared outside of Jason's office, fully meaning to talk to him but then he heard Phoebe's voice inside. He sighed as he rolled his eyes, 'Damnit Phoebe.' He thought. He hadn't expected them to be back so soon...but if Kit was safe...
Chris cautiously opened the door a crack and listened to what was being said. Had Jason told her yet or not? "I'm an empathy remember?" she was saying. No, obviously not, Phoebe and her sisters didn't know a thing about Jason's past. Chris let out a sigh of relief as he continued to listen to the conversation taking place within.
"That's none of your business!"
"Jason, this girl is in danger and right now you're the only one who knows anything about her. If we're gonna help her then we need your help."
Chris's eyes went wide at these words. They hadn't saved Kit, and she was in way more trouble then Chris had originally thought. Maybe whatever was trying to get to Wyatt was going after Kit now because they were getting desperate. Regardless of whether or not Jason had told Phoebe about his past, they needed Jason now.
"What are you talking about Jason?" Phoebe's voice traveled through the door. After several seconds of quiet she asked, "Did you know about magic before?" Still Jason remained quiet. Chris sighed, 'Time to take matters in my own hands' he thought as he opened the door all the way and said, "You might as well tell her Jason, there's no way around it now."
He looked up and Phoebe turned around surprised at hearing Chris's voice. "Chris?" she asked.
"Who the hell are you?" Jason asked, "And what do you know about anything involving my life?"
*****
"So this must be the young witch." Gideon said walking into the cavern. He stared at Kathryn intently and totally disregarded the demon.
"You don't get her until I get my payment." The demon said rising. Gideon looked over at him.
"You'll get your payment soon enough."
"I'll get my payment now, the Charmed Ones are after me. Someone alerted them to her danger."
"The Charmed Ones are after her, not you."
"They're after her because someone tipped them off. You're the one who hired me and I won't die because of you either."
"Don't you get it? Your fate doesn't matter when compared to hers."
Kathryn sat in the corner listening to the conversation between them. She sent out a silent prayer that someone would help her; that these Charmed Ones would be able to save her from whatever they had planned for her.
****
"Chris what are you doing here?" Phoebe asked standing up.
"I came to talk to Jason, but you beat me to him obviously. You're right he's the only one who knows anything about Kathryn at this time in her life."
"Phoebe, who is this guy?"
"Chris is my nephew Jason."
"Your nephew? Your nephew is a year old Phoebe!"
"I came from the future, thank you very much. My brother is a year old right now."
"What?" Jason asked raising his eyebrows not believing this.
Chris sighed, "Look it's a long story that I don't really have the time to go into right now. So are you gonna tell her the truth or should I?"
"What truth? There's nothing to tell!"
Chris rolled his eyes, "Fine pretend like your parents died for nothing then, don't accept your destiny then. Oh and well you're at it, let Kit die too, you know you're the only one who can help her now."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about Jason, your mom and dad died for a reason, to protect you and save the future of your family's magic. The same reason why Kit's parents died, in order to save her family's magic!"
"My parents weren't...witches!"
"Weren't they?" Chris questioned.
"Chris what the hell are you talking about?" Phoebe asked.
Chris stared at Jason for several seconds then finally said, "Jason's a witch Phoebe. He doesn't know it yet, but he is. Before his mother died she bound his powers and Jason never knew until he ran into Kathryn again. But now she's in trouble and if she dies then the future could be seriously messed up. Jason's the only one who can find her now."
"You're all insane." Jason replied, "Get the hell out of my office."
"Jason—"
"Get out!" he shouted.
"Come on Phoebe, Jason's already made his choice. We have to find Kit some other way, my future depends on it." Phoebe remained staring at Jason as Chris grabbed her hand and orbed away.
****
As they appeared in the attic, Phoebe immediately looked at him. "What the hell was that all about Chris?"
"Look Phoebe we don't have time for that right now."
"Like hell we don't have time Chris!"
"What? What don't we have time for?" Piper asked. She and Paige were in the attic sitting by the potion cauldron.
"What did you mean that Jason's a witch? He doesn't know anything about magic!"
He sighed, "Jason lied to you about that Phoebe. He knows all about magic, both his parents died because of magic."
"What?" Phoebe asked in shock.
"Look Phoebe this isn't my place to tell you, it's his. Right now, we gotta find Kit."
"Who's Kit?" Paige asked.
"Kit...Kathryn same person."
"Oh well, no problem with that, purse." Paige replied. The purse Phoebe held disappeared and reappeared in Paige's hand. She opened it and looked through it in search of something that looked special to its owner.
"What are you doing?"
"While you were avoiding your father and Phoebe was talking to Jason, Piper and I were coming up with a way to find Kathryn." She replied matter of factly. Then looking up at Chris again, "Oh and I believe Leo's downstairs getting an ingredient we need, he should be back any second."
Chris raised his eyebrows, "And I should care why now?"
"Because," Piper said as she went back to adding ingredients to the potion, "he wants to talk to his son and get some answers."
"Why should I have to answer to anything? If he doesn't trust his own son then what's the point?"
"Chris he's got a lot of questions for you, ones that need answering ok?"
"Why can't he just accept the fact that everything I've done has been for a reason. I had to do those things in order to save this family. I came here for a reason, and I'm making sure that happens."
"It's not that we don't trust you Chris." Leo said as he walked into the room.
Chris looked at him, "Ya know what? I don't have to take this. Excuse me, I'm going to find Kit." He said and then orbed away.
"Chris!" Piper shouted and then sighed as he disappeared. She looked over at Leo, "You know, I think he inherited that quality from you." Leo sighed and looked back at where Chris had been standing.
"Just give him time Leo, I'm sure he'll come around eventually." Phoebe said.
"I don't get it, why does Chris hate me so much?"
After several minutes Piper said, "I'm sure he doesn't hate you Leo. I thought he hated me at first too when he wouldn't talk to me."
Leo didn't say anything, there had to be a reason for Chris's avoidance of him. But unfortunately right now he couldn't figure that out, he had to help the girls with Kathryn.
"Ah ha, I knew there would be something in here!" Paige said as she pulled out a picture from Kathryn's wallet.
*****
Chris appeared in the underworld, in the layer of one of the future demons that would one day work for his brother. Chris never trusted those demons, he never trusted any demons, but at least he knew how to get them to help him if he wanted them too. He had figured that out long ago when things started getting bad in the future. Not every demon oddly enough wanted Wyatt calling all the shots; they just helped Wyatt when it was good for them. Chris quickly learned how to use that to his advantage.
The layer was currently empty so Chris began looking around. Before he came back to try and change the future he had made it a point to determine which demons he would need to get rid of and those that could help him in any way. He knew saving Wyatt wasn't gonna be easy but he also knew that the future of everything that mattered depended upon it. So it was nice knowing which demons would be of use to him and which wouldn't before he had to vanquish them. Yeah, like that was the way to go work with people you don't trust who could stab you in the back at any given time. He sighed, he hated working with demons and tried avoiding it at all costs but sometimes he had no choice and this was one of those times. His future and Wyatt's depended on preserving Kit's future. "Who the hell are you?" he heard. Chris looked up to see the demon standing in the entrance holding an energy ball fully prepared to throw it.
*****
"Are you aware of what your parents died trying to protect you Kathryn?" Gideon asked her.
Kathryn looked up at him, "What the hell do you know about my parents?"
"A lot more then you do. You were born a very powerful witch. You were almost killed yourself."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about your destiny, I saved you then Kathryn and I'm saving you again. Those girls who appeared in the ally were trying to kill you."
Kathryn stared at him. He held out his arm waiting for her to take it, wanting her to take it. For some reason she couldn't though. He was asking her to trust him when that other guy had told her mere hours before that people were trying to kill her and he would if she didn't listen to him. Kathryn wasn't stupid, she figured those girls who appeared so suddenly were the Charmed Ones they were talking about and from the looks of things it didn't look like they were trying to kill her at all.
