Chris orbed in at the manor, Phoebe on his left and Jessica on his right. Paige and Piper soon followed.
Wyatt was held by Piper who held him close, stroking the young boys hair athes he sucked his tiny thumb. Jess kept near Chris' but seemed to be quite relaxed considering only 2 hours ago she was bleeding to death. Chris already acted differently with Jessica with him, lighter and smiled more. Piper still wanted him out but Phoebe was starting to protect the two and Paige seemed to agree which was strange to Piper, especially since they had agreed with her, their sister, not a stranger who agreed with a manipulative neurotic witchlighter from the future with secrecy issues.
Piper's anger exploded a vase in the corner.
"Piper?" Phoebe looked her sister, pausing the conversation which she was having with Paige, "you okay?"
"NO!" another explosion, this time a glass bottle
"What's wrong?" Paige asked
"These two keep accusing my son of being evil and two seem to except it"
"Sweetie I don't like it anymore than you do but look at how many times we've turned evil" Paige was cool and collected but sympathetic
"Yes but he's talking about him becoming the source of all evil" Piper couldn't see how her sisters had changed sides
"I became the Queen of all evil" Phoebe countered
"You did that for love,are you gonna tell me than my baby becomes evil for love?" Piper looked at the two quite adults in the corner
"All we know is the evil i s dormant for years before Wyatt started changing" Chris explained
"And that thing he becomes, isnt Wyatt so to speak" Jess comforted "the thing that changes him is a parasite which isn't there yet!"
"Thats were here to stop, the demon that changes Wyatt"
Piper couldn't deny it, what they said made some sence but look at how many times they've trusted Chris
"I need some time" Piper walked out the attic leaving a still air
"So where are you going to stay?" Phoebe asked Jess handing her a cup of tea
"I'm gonna crash with Chris"
Phoebe nodded as she sat down opposite her. The four of them sat in the front room all drinking
"So are you a witch?" Paige asked curious about her
"Yeah, I have telekinesis" Jess replied, then she looked at Chris for a few moments and they exchanged facial expressions
"Who's the telepath?" Phoebe asked, shocked that she got it right,
"Me!" Chris answered reluctantly
"Wow!"Paige summed up.
There was a sudden crash from upstairs and Chris orbed up to the nursery holding Jess.
A demon stood a couple of feet away from an unconscious Piper, Phoebe and Paige soon came in. Jess stood heavily on a piece of wood, another piece flung up, and she grabbed it and threw it into the demon pinning it to the wall,
"Phoebe, Paige get Wyatt and Piper out of here" Chris commanded, they didn't question him. Walking down the hallway they heard a scream of agony after the door shut behind them.
Piper sat at the kitchen island with a cloth on her head. Phoebe made some tea and tried to get piper to drink it. Paige was just sitting staring into space.
After what felt like an eternity, the two young adults walked downstairs. They looked the same but yet so different in the eyes of the girls, Chris' eyes seemed distant and lonely where as Jess eyes held a glow, a really scary glow.
"Well?" Phoebe prompted
"He didn't know anything, he was quite low level, didn't even know who he was working for" Jess said with a slight smirk on her face but it went as quickly as it came up
"What?" Piper asked seeing the expressions
"It's nothing important" Jess replied
"Then you wouldn't mind sharing that with us would you"
"Yes I would mind because it's private", Jess snapped back as she marched out the kitchen.
"im gonna check thats shes alright" Chris' said only to get pushed back into the kitchen by Phoebe,
"What's going on, what happened up there?"
"Just..." Chris lowered his head, "She's extremely powerful and all of her emotions are rampant right now."
All the sister glared at him until he said the ending of that unfinished sentence, "She almost lost control up there"
Piper looked like she was gonna say something unmotherly but Leo orbed in surprising everyone with a slightly cheery face,
"Leo, What's up" Piper asked with agitation in her voice
"I have been ordered to take Chris, Jessica up so they can be sent back to their own time"
"WHAT!", Chris, Phoebe, Paige and Jess who stood in the doorway,
"About time!" Piper muttered though everyone heard her
"Leo you can't be serious" Chris argued
"What gives" Jess asked though afraid for the answer
Leo smirked, "You two pose a threat to the entire magical community, with your actions" Leo stared directly at Jess who scowled, "The elders have decided the best course of action would be to send you back"
"When?" Chris asked,
"A couple of hours"
Phoebe put her palm to her head and Paige crossed her arms and stared definantly at Leo. Chris and Jessica sat at the table. Piper watched the two curious if they would run. They weren't talking but only Phoebe and Paige knew that just because they're lips weren't moving, it didn't mean that they weren't communicating,
What are we gonna do Chris?
I don't know
We don't have any more options
We can't tell them!
Not who you are, but what if I showed them
You mean-
I take down the barrier
It won't drain you
I don't think so
Jess took Chris' hand and he clasped it gratefully, she was and has always been his best friend next to Wyatt before he turned, he trusted her with his life.
Suddenly, Jess felt a slight tingling in her palm. She looked at Chris who smiled sheepishly. Unclutching her hand from his Jess found her old feather necklace.
She remembered her 7th birthday, when Chris gave to her as a present she never took it off until the day Chris traveled back in time, she gave to him so he'd remember he still had us, her by him.
Jess put the necklace in her pocket as she glanced at him,
Chris there is a reason I came back here-
I know she's dead
What how-
You were mumbling when you came through the portal
I'm so sorry, I tried to stop her but she was upset about Bianca
You don't have to explain, the girls know about Wyatt, they'll stop it in the end
Chris smiled,
"You better go and get your stuff together" Jess said as she glanced at the clock, they had roughly an hour to get ready,
"I come with you" Leo demanded,
"Fine"
Chris orbed immediately catching Leo off guard,
"Well go on, wouldn't want him to do anything bad" Jess taunted. Leo frowned at her thinking she should have more respect for him after all he was an elder
Orbing out Leo worried as to who she was and what she just meant. Grounding himself in P3, Leo saw Chris packing his small amount of possessions, including a small locket which Chris held for a couple of moments, the he sighed and shoved it into the bag along with a few potions.
"I wondered when you would show up" Chris said turning to Leo who was a couple of feet away,
"Why the potions?"
"Defence"
"Against who?"
"Anyone who threatens me or Jess"
"Including the elders?
"Why would pacifists want to harm us, we haven't done anything wrong"
"Huh, you see this is why none of us trust you, you make out that you are a victim, you manipulate us"
"Manipulation" Chris smiled, thinking of whom he'd been taught by, they very angel that Leo presented as a trophy.
Chris packed the last of his things and nodded to Leo who put his hand firmly on Chris' shoulder and orbed them back to the manor.
