AN I just wanted to clear some stuff out about Chris's childhood so this doesn't have much action in it.

Chapter Four

~ The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant. ~ Salvador Dali

Chris Halliwell was, in many ways, very different than Chris Perry. Having the advantage of growing up in a peaceful world without a murderous dictator of an older brother, Chris Halliwell was as normal as a witch can be, that if you overlook the fact that he has twenty three years worth of memories infused with his own. Sometimes Chris truly hated that fact, but other times he couldn't help but revel in it. Sure the fact that he constantly felt pain that simply shouldn't be there, but what seventeen year old could honestly say that he has fallen in love, gotten engaged, had what neared a hundred person under his command, literally saved the future from going to hell, not many he supposed.

And sure the memories could keep him up most nights, turning and thrashing in his bed, he couldn't deny that the other Chris's knowledge and experience saved him more times than he could count. Unlike what his family thought, he didn't shy away from magic, didn't detest spending time demon hunting, nor was he keen on having a normal magical free life. He just didn't like them knowing that; it wouldn't do them any good any way.

He tried picturing their reaction several times, but all he could come up with were a lot of tears and disappointment. He supposed that he had planned on telling them at some point, yet there never seemed to be a right time. When he was five years old and the memories started coming back to him, he was still too young to comprehend what was happening, he thought there was something wrong with him, how else would he know stuff grownups three time his age had no idea of ? He didn't tell them because he simply didn't know what to say. He had gotten most of his powers at that time including orbing, and unlike his brother he could control when to use them, he never understood why his brother needed help training and he didn't. But then one time he overheard his parents talking about the fact that he apparently was powerless and needed protection from whatever threat the family was facing that week. They orbed him to magic school whenever something dangerous was taking place which ended up with him spending more time there than he could count. Having practically nothing there to do but stare at walls and counts holes in ceilings, he started wondering around the place until he reached the library where he would later spend the majority of his time learning about everything from magical myths to wiccan magic. After seven years of educating himself he supposed he had his own book of shadows stored safely in his head.

There were several times when he had the urge to just blurt everything out and to hell with it, after all what's the worst that could happen. Sure things would be tense for a while but eventually they'll forgive him, for he was family and that's what family do: they forgive each other no matter what.

But there were other times when he was convinced that his family wouldn't be able to handle it. He couldn't imagine what his mother would say after finding out that his innocent little peanut wasn't at all little nor was he innocent. He has already seen what no teenager should ever witness including the death of his mother, aunts and pretty much every one he cared about. Even though he wasn't exactly the one that has been there when it all happened, but still he felt all the emotional pain that was minutes away from tearing his own heart and leaving him broken. His father who has actually been there when he died at the age of twenty three would simply feel all the guilt he had learned to ignore crashing in on him, he had after all been the worst imaginable excuse of a father in the other timeline, that he gathered from the other Chris's attitude toward him when he first came back, he also allowed him to go ahead and die, he was simply too late to save him and that is something he couldn't still live with. Oh and not to forgot the most important of them all his own brother Wyatt the evil lord from the other time, the one who took killing as a way to kill time, who was more than a madman, he knew for a fact that Wyatt wouldn't be able to live with the verity that he had been the one to cause the other Chris's ultimate death.

Still the hardest time it was for him to keep his secret was on his fourteenth birthday. He had to make sure that nothing happened to her, because the thought of losing her again was simply unthinkable. Thank God his grandfather was there to remind them of what the other Chris confided him with. They were able to vanquish the demons and although Piper was badly hurt Leo was there to heal her and make sure she was left unscathed. She was destined to die that day after all.

A lot of people weren't destined to die like they did the last time, he lost count of people he thought they'd be dead by now only to meet them in magic school or at his mother's club. Bianca wasn't one of them. He not only had no idea where she was these days or what she was doing, he had no idea if she was even alive to begin with. He'll have to find her someday though, he just knew he had, she was his soul mate after all!

"This is a bad idea, he can't be trusted, he's a demon for God's sake" Snapped Morris.

"Yeah, well I pretty much knew that when I asked him to join the resistance, he can be a great benefit for our side, beside he's not very fond of Wyatt's rein anymore than we are." Said Chris in obvious irritation; they've been having this conversation for what seemed to be hours now.

"That doesn't mean you can allow him to just waltz inhere without even acknowledging what the others' opinions about him joining us might be." Morris retorted heatedly.

" last time I checked, I was the leader of the resistance here, and you know I'm doing this with our best interest at heart so will you just knock it of; I've had enough of people questioning my every decision and acting like I'm a stupid kid who can't handle shit so will you please for once and I know this might be hard for you, but could maybe just leave me the hell alone! I know what I'm doing here." And with that Chris orbed out leaving one dazed Daryl Morris behind.

AN I know I know not nearly as long as it should be and I'm really sorry for that. I just hope it won't stop you from reviewing. Come on show the little button down there some affection.
