"What do you mean?" Chris questioned suspiciously as he looked at the man with frightened eyes. Matt merely shrugged as he gestured towards the little tv that showed all the cameras in the building.
"See for yourself" Matt answered plainly. Chris looked at him for a moment before turning to the screen. He gasped when he saw two men taking a little girl into a room. Miley.
"How can you do that? Let her go" Chris looked at the man as if he'd lost his mind completley.
"If you haven't noticed. I'm in charge here, Not you, so you better get used to it" Matt answered coldly, his eyes following Chris's every move with satisfaction.
"You're insane. You have a son, you should know how it is" Chris begged him. His eyes seemed lost and scared for some reason Matt couldn't understand.
"I'm sorry but you're giving me no choice. If you cooparate your daughter won't be hurt" Matt replied smoothly as he walked out of the room, locking the door behind him. He could hear Chris's desperate voice shouting through the walls, but continued to walk into Miley's location.
"You can't do this to her. Please, you can do anything with me. Just don't hurt her" Chris kept banging on the door, but soon collapsed under his weight. He sat down on the floor and rocked himself back and forth, not knowing what else he could do in this situation. He'd always heard stories about how his Aunt Prue was fighting so bravely when their secret was out. But he couldn't imagine himself being brave. Not now when he knew he could loose the only important person he had left in the world. Again....
--------------------------------------
"He's losing it" Christine murmured softly, looking into the seers pool with teary eyes. Seeing Chris like this was tearing her apart from the inside. She loved him and she couldn't stand seeing him in so much pain.
"I know. That's exactly what I want him too" Wyatt winced, noticing the look in the girls eyes, "You're not having cold feet are you?" He asked suspiciously.
"No, I just don't want him to get hurt too much. And dragging Miley into this is unfair. She's just a child" Christine defended herself, looking at Wyatt with determination in her eyes. A determination he so often could see in her mother.
"I know" Wyatt murmured softly as he looked into Christine's blue eyes, "But I want Chris. And the only way to reach Chris is through Miley"
"She's your niece Wyatt. Are you really willingly to hurt Miley to get to Chris?" Christine accused angrily, "Do you understand that maybe Chris won't come to our side if you try and hurt Miley at all?" She questioned.
"Oh shut up Christine. You've always been so soft, always trying to be the perfect daughter" Wyatt taunted with a twinkle in his eye, knowing that he would eventually make her subside.
"I know what you're thinking Wyatt and it won't work" She exclaimed hotly, knowing exactly what he was thinking. She'd known him long enough to know that he wanted to make her soft so she would help him.
"Aww, you're no fun Christine" Wyatt pouted a little, making Christine laugh. If only he'd been like this in their time instead of killing people.
"See, I can make you laugh" Wyatt smirked, laughing a little himself. He always loved seeing Christine smile since she almost never did it anymore. He always remembered her at school when she smiled broadly at him in the hallways. He remember the way she would stick her tonque out at him and have a teasing smile everytime she did.
"Chrissy,Chrissy. Look what I did" A boy's voice was heard through the walls in the underworlds. Christine looked around to try and find the source of the voice and laughed as she noticed Aiden running to her. She scooped him up and swung him around before looking deeply into the boy's dancing eyes.
"Aren't you supposed to be sleeping young man?" Christine asked, trying to act stern but failing miserably.
"But Chrissy" The little boy whined, "I can't sleep" He looked innocently into her eyes, using his puppy dog eyes that Chris always used to use when he knew he was in trouble.
"Fine. You can up a little longer then you have to go to bed" Christine subsided and sat down with the boy in her lap.
"Can I sleep here?" Aiden asked softly, nestling his head on her shoulder.
"We'll see" Christine smiled at the little boy.
---------------------------------------
"I can't believe I did that to him" Leo said softly. His eyes heartbroken and sad.
"I never did either, but you can fix that this time around" Cole smiled sympathically at the man.
"Yea. I suppose I can" Leo said thoughtfully.
"We should find Chris though. He needs help pretty badly right now" Phoebe exclaimed.
"You have no idea how much" Paige announced slowly, turning up the volume on the tv.
"Oh my god. That's Chris. And that's the agent" Piper shrieked, looking horrified of her baby boy being captured yet again.
"Not again" Phoebe groaned as she watched the agent push Chris with force through the doors.
"We gotta do something" Cole concluded. The others silently agreed while they tried desperatley to figure out something to help Chris with.
"You won't be able to save him" A cold voice said from the end of the room. Piper turned around quickly and made a gesture to blow the young man up, but was stopped by Leo's soft voice.
"Don't Piper" He looked at her and his eyes were silently begging her. She nodded her head slowly, not knowing why her ex-husband didn't want her to blow him up. She looked at the young man and gasped slightly as she noticed who he looked like.
"Wyatt?" Piper whispered as her eyes widened when the blonde man nodded his head.
"I'm sorry I can't be here much longer. But I'll thought I'd just drop by and say hi" Wyatt smiled sarcastically as he watched his mother's face.
"What are you doing?" Piper asked wearily. She knew Wyatt wouldn't turn up without a plan.
"Oh mother, stop being so naive. You should know by now that I wouldn't turn out like you or your percious little Chrissy" Wyatt said with the same sneer and the same sarcasm in his voice.
"Oh, and your darling Chris won't live much longer, you know. I'm guessing the agent is pretty good" With that, Wyatt vanished from sight, his laughing voice still echoing through the house.
"We need to get to Chris NOW!"
-------------------------------------
"Come on Chris, you need to find a way out of here" Chris murmured to himself. He haad been pacing for the last hour, trying to come up with a plan to get up, but ending up with nothing to go on. He knew he couldn't risk getting caught using more magic. And he knew they were still watching him, so magic was not an option. But he also knew that without magic, he would be trapped here for go knew how long. So either way. Eveyrhting would screw up. He couldn't let Matt hurt Miley. Not after everything they'd been through together. Not after what happened after Miley was born. He couldn't let Miley have the same faith as...... No, he just wouldn't let that happen. He was supposed ot be a great father, darn it. Not a failure like his own father had been. His own father that had abandoned him from birth. His own father that was so perfect for words. The angel, the whitelighter, the elder. He'd promised himself that he wouldn't turn out like that at all. But he had. He was putting everything in front of his daughter. He was letting his own daughter down again.
"I can't let her get hurt" Chris closed his eyes and tried to not let his tears show. He was getting weaker now. He knew that. He didn't know how long he had left here. And with Wyatt still out there in the past, he couldn't die yet. He had to fight Wyatt. Wyatt. Ironic that his won brother was trying to kill him. It was like taken out of a movie or something. He still wondered why Wyatt turned out like this. Being evil. And Christine. Ohh, Christine. She wasn't supposed to be dragged into this. He had promised his mother so long ago to protect her after what happened. Why did he fail? He shouldn't have. Christine wasn't always evil. She just turned to Wyatt for support because Chris couldn't help her. He still remembered that night when she turned against him.
-----------------
"Chris. You don't understand. Wyatt has changed, but he's not evil"
"He's evil. Right down evil. He proved that when he decided to kill all those children"
"He never wanted to do that. It was out of his control. The demon did that on their own"
"Is that what he tells you?" Chris questioned softly as he looked in the girls eyes.
"It doesn't matter who told me or if I know myself. It's the truth" Christine glared as tears started to form in her eyes.
"How can you believe him? After what he did to you" Chris yelled, willing for her to understand. How could she be alongside with Wyatt after what he did to her.
"Because I care about him... He's..."
"He's evil" Chris intererrupted again.
"Well at least he's there for me" Christine yelled.
"Oh, you call rape being there for you, huh?" Chris yelled back, but at once knew he had gone to far, "Wait, Christine. I didn't mean that"
"DON'T. I don't want to hear anything" Tears were streaming down Christine's face as she ran towards the door and closed it.
----------------------
Thatw as the last time he'd seen Christine. Except tonight. He wasn't surprised that Christine was plotting against him. To kill him. But he also knew that she would keep Miley safe too. She'd always cared for Miley. Christine was like a sister to Miley, more than anything else. Christine has always wanted a child of her own. And after she lost her own baby, She'd always enjoyed taking care of Miley for Chris and Bianca. Bianca didn't have anything against it. She knew how hard it was losing a child, so she had always told Christine that she was welcomed to take care of her.
"Why did we turn out like this Christine?" He questioned softly to himself, as he slid down the walls yet again. He face in his hands, he began to cry quietly as his shoulders shook with sobs. He didn't have anyone left to care for now. He wouldn't be to save his daughter. He didn't have anything.
