Chapter 7

~~~~~The future~~~~

'Damn him!' Wyatt thought as he flipped through the pages of the book looking for something, anything that would help him. Ever since Chris had escaped and made it back to the past to continue on with his feeble attempts to alter history, Wyatt had been trying to find ways to stop him since Bianca had failed. At least that sorry excuse for a Phoenix assassin was dead. How could he have been so naïve to fall for her lies? He had miscalculated her damn feelings for his little brother. Out of his entire family only Chris had managed to blind sight him that much, but then again out of his entire family Chris had been the only one to not resist him in his assent to power. Wyatt now realized that from the beginning Chris was only trying to determine what he needed to change in order to stop him while Isabelle and all the others worked to distract him with their petty attempts to stop him. None of them understood Wyatt had learned that the hard way.

As he came to the entry on the elemental crystals he stopped. Perhaps he could get to Chris again after all...but if it was going to work he would need to obtain the last crystal and to do that he would need to find its owner. Wyatt summoned one of him minions. As he shimmered in he said, "I need to see my cousin. She knows where I can find what I need."

"Which cousin my lord, we have recently captured Patricia and Henry."

"Ah yes…I had forgotten…I should pay them visits soon as well, but I was thinking of Isabelle. You are of course keeping them separated? The last thing I need is them working together and hatching some plan of escape."

"Of course, my liege, I will bring Isabelle to you but do you really think that this time will be any different?"

"I did not ask for you to question my orders! Isabelle will help me whether she likes it or not."

"Sorry my liege." He replied shimmering away.

~~~~~Present~~~~

Chris and Kit rematerialized at P3. She quickly moved away from him, "Who the hell are you?" she asked.

"Don't worry Kit, it'll be ok. You're safe here."

"Funny, I've heard that a lot lately. Now who the hell are you and how do you know my name?"

Chris laughed to himself, "You told me you probably wouldn't trust me right away if I were to run into you, I didn't actually think I would."

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't even know you."

"You don't know me yet, besides you wouldn't believe me even if I told you who I really am. But I am trying to keep you safe."

"Yeah…you know…a lot of people have been saying that lately. First that guy in the cave and now you, whoever the hell you are. And not to mention the fact that I was on my way to work when….I don't even know what the hell happened so why don't you try me." She countered.

Chris looked back at her, "Wait, what guy? That demon back there would've killed you."

"Did you just say demon?"

After a few seconds Chris sighed and answered, "Yeah…I did. Demons are real and they're after you."

Kit stood there staring at him for several seconds and then laughed, "You're joking right? No…better yet, I'm dreaming."

Chris sighed, he needed a new approach. "What if I could bring you to that boy who saved you all those years ago when your parents died?"

"How could you know about that?"

"Kit, I know you won't believe a word of what I'm about to say but please just trust me here. That boy who saved you, his name is Jason Dean, he can keep you safe and I know him just like I know you."

"How do you know me?"

"In the future you move back to San Francisco, where you were born, in search of Jason and with the help of my parents and aunts you find him, you save his life just like he saved yours."

"You're from the future."

"I know it sounds crazy but please just trust me."

There was no possible way he could know those things about her unless she had told him herself. Kit never talked about her personal life with anyone, her own adoptive family never understood her. So Kit had shut them out years ago. She had only learned recently that she was from California originally, San Francisco to be exact and was planning a trip there as soon as she could pull together the money. All these thoughts were going through her mind as Kit stared at that boy who was apparently from the future. She still didn't know if she could trust him but she had a much better feeling in her gut about him than the other guy. Finally she held out her hand, "You know my name but I don't know yours." Chris smiled and taking hers said "I'm Chris," and she gasped suddenly, "What? What did you see?"

Opening her eyes and looking at him she replied looking at him, "I…I don't know…a man I think and that…that guy that had me before you came was there."

Chris thought over what she said and shook his head, "None of this is supposed to happen yet…we need to go see my family, now." He said as he orbed them away.
