Chapter 13; Christine

"You never told us she was a firestarter Chris" Piper replied softly, giving her son a blanket to cover up his daughter.

"I know. But I didn't want to, we've been trying to not use those powers so much since last time she blew up the manor" Chris defended himself. He didn't want them to think he would lie again or not tell them the most important stuff they needed to know.

"Sure" Paige rolled her eyes and sat down next to him.

"It's true" Chris exclaimed loudly as Miley shifted in his arms. He sighed and started pacing while bouncing Miley slightly so she wouldn't wake anytime soon.

"The last time she used it she blew up the manor and nearly killed us all so I told her not to use that power unless she really needed too" Chris explained carefully while pacing around in the living room.

"How powerful is she?" Phoebe asked shocked. She had thought Wyatt was powerful but the way Chris talked about Miley. It was freaking her out. They didn't need another twice blessed in the family.

"Let's say compared to Wyatt. He's a piece of cake" Piper groaned at the thought.

"Why couldn't you just be normal?" She snapped playfully as Chris laughed softly.

"You've said that one before. Although you blamed Leo instead of me" Chris winked at Piper, trying to get her to yell at Leo instead of him.

"Not gonna happen. Don't you dare pin this on me Chris" Leo spoke up and refused to be the blame for how Chris turned out.

"It's true. It's your fault" Chris accused his father, playing along with his mother's antics. Leo just narrowed his eyes at his son and laughed.

"You must have been a handful growing up right? You must have been the death of your mother" Leo laughed, not knowing what that little comment would do on his own son. Chris, who had stopped laughing abruptly, almost lost Miley but put her down on the coach and ran up to the attic.

"What did I say?" Leo asked bewildered and looked at each of the sisters and Cole for an answer. Cole shook his head sadly, not wanting to say anything about it. It had affected them all when Piper died. Leo had blamed Chris for her death and Chris had almost believed he'd killed her. Cole and Bianca had almost lost him that day. They'd found him in the bathroom in P3, ready to kill himself, but Bianca had told him that Piper wouldn't want him to kill himself and that he needed to stop his brother. But that still didn't change how much it hurt that his dad accused him of killing his mom. It didn't stop him from the agonizing years to come either...

"Oh my god. Piper died" Paige exclaimed and everybody looked at her, waiting for an explanation, "Chris told me his mother died when he was fourteen" There was a general gasp of horror in the air while Piper sat down on the coach slowly.

"I die" She suddenly said.

"Why didn't I heal her?" Leo asked heartbroken. Tears were forming in his eyes and he couldn't believe what he was hearing. His wife was gonna die. Or ex-wife but that didn't matter. He loved her still, even though he knew they couldn't be together he did love her.

"You weren't there. It was a family gathering and you were up in elderland. Or maybe it's better to say. It was Chris' birthday" Cole explained, "Chris knew Wyatt was evil though no one believed him, not even us" He swallowed before continuing.

"At Chris' birthday Wyatt came in. He killed almost everyone without Chris, Piper and Coop. They managed to get away but not far. They came to the attic when both Coop and Piper got killed. Chris was captured by Wyatt and tortured for months until we found him" He stopped talking and wiped a tear from his eyes, "When he came back Leo blamed him for Piper's death and he almost killed himself because of it" Piper gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. The young man they had been so cruel to here in the past was her son, her son who had seen her die at the hands of his own brother and was blamed for it himself.

"I have to go upstairs to see him" Piper spoke up and stood up but was stopped by Leo, "What are you doing?" She hissed at her ex-husband.

"I think I should be the one to talk to him Piper. It's my fault" She could tell he really needed this, not only because he was practically begging her but his eyes showed pain and she couldn't stand it. And she knew Chris would need Leo's blessing right now. Leo gave her a small smile and walked up the stairs. He stopped in front of the attic door and knocked on it before entering. He didn't know what he was expecting but he knew this wasn't one of them. He looked around and saw Chris sitting in the corner, his head in his lap, keeping his sobs muffled. He was shaking and rocking back and forth slowly. He jumped when he noticed Leo and just shook his head and tried to back up against the wall, if it was even possible.

"I'm sorry" He whimpered. He looked down and kept rocking himself. Not knowing what else to do, Leo walked towards his son and sat down, gathering him in his strong arms, making shushing sounds.

"Don't ever say your sorry Chris. Piper didn't die because of you. It wasn't your fault" Leo whispered softly, rocking his son in his arms, stroking his hair trying to calm him.

"Come on Chris, you and I both know it was your fault" Leo suddenly said in a cold voice. Chris looked up terrified.

"Wh.. what did you say?" He stammered, trying to wrench himself out of his father's arms, to no avail.

"Chris, what are you talking about? I didn't say anything" Leo answered his frightened son, not knowing what made him suddenly so scared of him.

"What's the matter Chris? Can't handle the truth?" Leo gave him a pointed look and grinned evilly.

"Stop it" Chris wrenched himself out of Leo's arms and backed away, slipping over the table and landing on the floor hard, hitting his head.

"Chris, stop it, you're gonna hurt yourself" Leo pleaded desperately with his son, moving towards him. However, Chris didn't seem to hear him because he backed away and put his hands over his ears.

"It's all your fault Chris. You should have been able to heal" Leo taunted, smiling at the victory of the broken boy.

"Stop it" Chris moaned softly, hugging his knees.

"It's your fault Chris." Leo whispered into Chris's ear.

Chris cried out in despair and orbed out. Leo just looked in confusion at the spot were Chris had been. His eyes seemed to dim and behind the air dimmed for a second and the girl wearing sunglasses stood their, a smirk on her lips.

"Poor Chris." She whispered tauntingly to the man kneeling who was spaced out.

"How will you ever get through to him now?" She whispered and ran her hand into his hair and pulled his head back and looked into the now dull blue eyes.

"Aww, Daddy, you screwed up again." She kissed Leo on the forehead and vanished in black orbs.

Meanwhile Leo came back to reality and looked around the room before dashing from it and down to the sisters.

"I lost Chris" Leo came dashing down the stairs, looking around, hoping desperately that his son had only orbed downstairs.

"You did WHAT?" Piper shrieked and the vase on the table exploded into millions of pieces. Phoebe quickly moved towards her and put her hands around her.

"Take it easy Piper, we don't want you to blow up the manor" She quipped, trying to calm her sister down.

"How can I take it easy when my son is out there with the FBI AND his crazy maniac brother after him?" She questioned softly. Phoebe stayed quiet and didn't say anything, just thinking about what would happen to Chris if he got caught.

----------------------------------

"It's your fault Chris" Leo's voice was pounding in Chris's head and he tried desperately to block out the sound, grabbing his head and falling to the floor.

"Stop it, please" He begged softly, shaking his head. When he had orbed out he had orbed to the bathroom in the abandoned house he and Miley had stayed in the past few months.

"Now, Chris. Don't deny it. You could have saved her" Leo's harsh voice responded in his head. Chris screamed and stood up. He ran towards the stuff he had and grabbed a knife.

"Do it Chris" Leo's voice dared the young man, "You'll do everyone a favour" Chris shook his head a few times, like he tried to shake his feeling off.

"Do it Christopher"

"What about Miley?" He questioned to himself, "I can't leave her" He circled the knife around his fingers, as if trying to decide if he should or not.

"Why make her go through all the pain? She would be better without you" Leo's voice was growing tired, like he was getting bored of Chris' stubbornness, "Do it" He hissed.

Chris grabbed the knife and slowly brought it to his sensitive skin. He cried out as the steel touched his skin and slid it down his wrists. Blood oozing out of the slashes he had made himself. He fell to the floor and slowly started to work on his other wrist. His breathing was slowing down now, and his heart was pounding. He closed his eyes, breathed hard and twisted slightly to try and make the pain in his heart go away. 'It can't be. The doctor said I had a lot of time after I was done with the operation' he thought. Chris laughed at the irony. Here he was committing suicide and he was thinking that he couldn't have a heart attack? Why did it matter? Why did Phoebe and Coop even let him have Prue's heart? They shouldn't have. He cried out as he felt the stinging pain in his heart again and he felt it difficult to move. He thought about Miley and all the things he would miss from her growing up, all the things he would loose. Out of nowhere someone dark orbed him and kneeled next to him as he started to loose consciousness.

"Soon you'll understand why we're doing this Chris" her voice was soft and Chris drew comfort from it. He registered that she sat down next to him and began to stroke his brow.

"Soon, Chris, soon."

--------------------------------------

"Daddy" Miley murmured and sat up abruptly on the sofa. She looked around for any sign of her father but soon realised he wasn't among the adults in the room. Piper kneeled down next to her and put a hand over her forehead. She withdrew her hand when she noted with pleasure that she wasn't warm anymore.

"Daddy's hurt" Miley whispered softly, looking at her grandmother scared, "Where's daddy?" She asked.

"Sweetie, we don't know where he is. Can you find him for us honey?" She enquired softly, trying not to shake her granddaughter further. Miley looked at her and blinked a few times before closing her eyes. She was about to orb when they suddenly felt a cold breeze.

"Not again" Piper muttered to herself. She knew that breeze all to well. Prue had been killed because of that.

"We need to get away from here. Shax will come" Piper informed her two sisters, husband and Cole. They all nodded, knowing Piper didn't need to watch history repeat itself and ran up the attic, Piper with Miley in her arms.

"We have to find Chris. FAST" Piper stated once they were all safe in the attic. Cole nodded his head in agreement and looked at each of the persons in the attic before raising an eyebrow.

"Where's Paige?" He murmured softly, having a pretty good idea of where she was.

"Oh no" Piper gasped as she heard Paige scream from downstairs, SOMEBODY HELP"

"Come on" Piper ran down the stairs again just in time to see Paige fall through the same wall Prue had done only years before.

"Paige" She screamed, tears already streaming down her face.

"Auntie Paige" Miley murmured softly, moving towards her but was stopped by Cole taking her hand. She looked up and watched Cole's assuring smile.

"Auntie Paige needs my help grandpa" She whispered. He nodded his head but turned towards Shax, indicating to her that she needed to vanquish him to help them. She smiled as she walked down the bottom stairs and stood in front of Shax.

"Don't hurt them" She hissed, her voice cold. At that moment, all of the people in the room could see Chris behind the cold unfeeling voice and the blue eyes, who always turned green when she smiled.

"You can't hurt them" She hissed again and threw her hands in the air, fire surrounding the demon who desperately tried to send energy blasts at the little girl who had her shield up, only it was orange. She squinted her eyes and Shax suddenly started burning all over. He screamed in pain as she blew him up, knocking everyone over as she did so.

"Miley?" Cole questioned softly. She turned her head and he could see the tears forming in her eyes and moved towards her, drawing her in a hug while Leo worked on healing Paige.

"Daddy told me not to use those powers" Miley murmured into Cole's shirt as she snuggled closer to him.

"It' not your fault sweetie and I'm sure your father will forgive you. He always does, doesn't he?" He looked at the little girl as she sniffled and nodded her head sadly.

"See. I told you..." Cole started but was interrupted by Piper's cries of pain.

"Nooo, Leo HEAL HER" She cried out, "I can't loose Paige too"

"Grandma?" Miley wriggled out of her grandfather's embrace and ran towards her grandmother, "I can help her" She said innocently and moved her hands over the wound and healed her in seconds.

"How... how did she do that? I can't even heal so fast" Leo stammered, amazed by the little girls ability to heal so fast.

"Face it Leo, you're beaten" Piper laughed at his expression as she turned towards her youngest sister and hugged her tightly, "I thought you were gonna die. Don't ever scare me like that again" She slapped Paige's head as she helped her up.

"Ouch. Sorry, it's not like I thought it was gonna be a demon or anything" She defended herself.

"We need to find Chris" Phoebe suddenly interrupted as she moved to take Miley's hand. "Sweetie? Can you find your daddy for us?" She asked softly.

"Yes" She nodded her head eagerly and closed her eyes but in the matter of seconds she opened them again and hummed, "He's hurt"

"Come on. Orb us there" Phoebe replied and grabbed Piper's who in turn grabbed Paige's hand along with Leo and Cole.

They orbed into a bathroom and on the floor was Chris laying in his own blood. Piper and the others gave a small scream but then they noticed the girl sat next to him. She was just sat stroking his hair, and whispering at him.

"Who the hell are you?" Piper shrieked at the girl whose head whirled up and stared at them in shock. Moving quickly the girl reached into her pocked and grabbed and athame and hurled it at Piper who promptly froze it. When they looked back at the girl they saw black orbs disappearing.

Chris shifted at the loss of comfort and one word was distinguishable from his lips through his harsh gasps.

"Christine."
