Previously on Charmed- Stale Mate
"ah but how could two young witches fool the great and powerful Elders" Jess tilted her head staring in the Elders eyes
"Yes well we can all be surprised easily, I am Rey-"
"Reyna, we know" said Chris, watching for signs of a strange reaction, unfortunately there was none.
"That's not possible" Reyna was thoroughly surprised
"MUST! is a very big word and twice as binding, Reyna Anon Fin Yasim" Jess' looked directly at her but the voice was older, wiser, powerful and deadly pissed.
"How do you-"
"Do you not recognized the Spirit of your Founder" Jess was no longer in control of the body. The heavens darkened and flames ablaze. Chris still held her though so she dare not show her true spirit. So she went for a drastic exit. Her body bust into tiny birds, Phoenix's.
"Do you have any lavender?"
"Yes, I put some in the tea-" Paige cut was cut off by Phoebe who had caught and unconscious Jessica. The tea cup smashed on the floor,
"Jess!" different voices shouted...
And now Part 2
Chris carried Jess up to the attic as the girls ran up behind them. Chris placed her on the floor getting a confused glance from Piper and Paige but Phoebe was asking Chris if she could help,
"We need candles surrounding her" Phoebe nodded as she rushed around, collecting as many candles as eyes lied on.
Chris had a pen and paper and was writing quickly with tears in his eyes, Paige walked over to him and took the paper and pen from him and started writing it out.
After the spell was written out, the sisters waited to the side watching Chris lighting the candles one by one, chanting underneath his breath. Thats when the fits started.
Jessicas body practically levitated off the floor and she started screaming and lashing out for Chris to stop but he didn't though Phoebe could feel his pain. Her face was that of a fever victim, sweating and red and bulging eyes. Chris wasn't in a much better state, the magic use was draining him, not to mention his run in with the elders earlier. At the 9th candle, Paige stopped him and carried the chanting herself, after she was the reason Jess was in this state.
The Candles were lit, and Paige stepped away quickly when all the candles flared up almost reaching the ceiling. Jess lay still, silent. Then she sat up breathing heavily, eyes glowing and her skin clammy. Chris seemed to be fully recovered and walked over to Jess but instead of kneeling he offered his hand to her. She took it, Phoebe was slightly shocked at how these two where acting cold all of a sudden
"Why don't you go and lay down in my room sweetie-"
"Not won't be necessary, thank you" Jess seemed almost scared, her head was down and her hands in her pockets
"We have to go" Chris stood in front of Jess as to protect her. With a wave of hand the candles extinguished and Chris orbed the candles away.
"No!" Piper spoke for the first time, "You are going two are going to stay and tell us what just happened"
The sisters left the adults for a moment,
"Chris-"
"We were stupid, we let our guard down"
"Chris we shouldn't blame ourselves"
"Yes we should, I should've killed him-"
"Chris! don't you ever say that,"
"It would save lives Jess"
"It would make you a coward!"
"What!"
"Chris admit it, you blame her"
"This has nothing to do with her"
"It has everything to do with her, you can't bear being around her, can you"
"I can't do this"
"And you say I'm over dramatic"
"You used too much power, even in tea it shouldn't of had that effect-"
"I just countered a legion of Elders, I think I have a reason for being a little lacking-"
"Your over confident"
"And you are a coward for blocking your feelings"
"I didn't want a fight-"
"We never did, remember, I paid for that mistake" Jess said quietly as she walked out the attic missing the sisters eavesdropping on the conversation. Paige orbed down stairs with her sisters,
"What was that all about?" Paige asked confused
"He wanted to kill someone" Piper said fuming
"What was the consequence of their mistake," Phoebe was concerned for the kids "he never felt so guilty and sad almost as if he lost a member of a family"
"He's gonna kill Wyatt!" Piper shouted at Phoebe
"Why would you say that Piper?" Paige asked
"It make sense, he came back because he's evil to kill Wyatt"
"Piper, that makes no sense, why hasn't he already done it, he's had plenty of opportunity"
"Because-"
"And besides, Jess talked him out of it almost as if she would stop him herself for his sake"
"Why do you trust her?" Piper was so angry at Phoebe for not understanding and Paige who seemed to be agreeing,
"She has done nothing wrong to us, she has earn't my trust" Phoebe was holding back something and Piper could tell
"Pheebs what are you hiding" Phoebe looked to Paige for support who shrugged, "YOU TOLD PAIGE BUT NOT ME"
"I'm going to go and check on Jess" Phoebe walked to the stairs guessing Jess was in the attic again
"I'm going to Richards"
Piper couldn't contain it, "CHRIS!" Piper was going to teach him a lesson, once and for all"
"Jess?" Phoebe walked upstairs to the attic to see her curled up on the couch, with black rimmed glasses on reading a book, "You okay"
"Yeah I'm fine" Jess replied lifting her head to show her slightly red puffy eyes
"Scoot over," Jess moved herself so Phoebe could sit next to her. Phoebe's arm lay around Jess' shoulder as she lent slightly in to her side, "Whats going on"
"Life just so hard"
"I know sweetie, I know" Tears streamed down Jess' face,
"Why?"
"Because you have a big heart and you understand the wrong and right, it makes it harder to cope"
"I don't always do"
"Nobody does" Phoebe found herself wanting to break down, but for some strange reason she felt she had to stay strong for Jess. She thought about Chris, he came from the same future and seemed to be so blocked fro his emotions, almost cold but then Jess came and he softened, Hey she even heard a real laugh from him when he came back. For some reason, Phoebe could tell Chris was still in this time, like how many describe feelings of when someone you care about is in danger, you just know. When Jess collapsed, Chris' broke but then she woke and it was if they both had learn't a hard lesson-
"Chris does" Jess' voice was quite
"Chris has a big heart?" Phoebe was jokingly surprised
"He does, he hides it because that's were he's most vulnerable"
"It's his achilles heel" jess nodded, "don't get mad but-"
"You heard our conversation?" Phoebe nodded, "So did my sisters"
"Be surprised if you didn't"
"But we were-"
"I know, Phoebe but please, we don't like keeping secrets but we have to"
"Future Consequences?"
"It's more than that," Jess stood up "I know you'd believe us but others won't"
"Piper"
"Yeah and Chris can't be blown up"
"He's only half whitelighter"
"It could kill him Physically and Mentally"
"How mentally?" Jess looked at Phoebe in the eye, knowing soon she would figure it out
"What did I tell you before we left?"
"Make sure Piper and Leo are together on Wyatt's birthday, please for Chris' sake" then it dawned on her, "Oh my God!"
Chris heard his mom calling, and she sounded more pissed then when he arrived. He put it off for 10 minutes untill it became too much, he orbed
