AN: hi everyone this is my second chapter today so if you haven't read chapter 6 then I suggest that you go back. I discovered that in one of the reviews people were confused if Henry was still alive, the truth is I don't know as he will be in no way involved in this story. Anyway this chapter should be longer than the last one so please do enjoy.

Waking up

Chris POV

I was having a lovely dream where I was 10 and it was Bonfire night and we had gone to the Whiston firework spectacular and my Uncle Coop had me on his shoulders so that I could see the fireworks over everyone's heads. Mum was there laughing at something Auntie Paige was saying as she was eating a toffee apple, I had a bag of candy floss and was busy eating it as occasionally Uncle Coop nicked some. The fireworks were making so many pretty colours I could see one that looked like a purple dragon and there was a Katherine wheel shooting sparks everywhere. It was the best dreams that I had in a long time, I didn't want it to ever stop, but unfortunately for me it was fading and I was slowly waking up.

As I woke up I could feel a great deal of warmth all around me, last thing I knew I was in Clifton Park where it is very cold this time of year. I also felt a heavy weight on top of me which certainly wasn't there before and it felt kind of like sheets of blankets. Also it was definitely not a hard and cold park bench beneath me as it was way too soft and my head was propped up by something even softer not the bench arm. As I came into further awareness I noticed that I could no longer feel any pain as in the terror at the manor never happened and it was yesterday and actually it was a premonition that I could stop from happening.

Now that I was in full awareness I did not want to open my eyes, I wanted to believe that I was still in the field for the fireworks display and not have to face the aftermath of the fight. For all I know I could be dead and this is the aftermath and I am stuck with the Elders who want to send me back as a full whitelighter. Or even worse I have been sent back to the future and Wyatt has caught me and I have been put in a bed for some perverse reason of his. Alternatively this could have all just been a bad dream and I was going to wake up in the pub and no longer be planning to go and see the family that hates me. Well I can only dream can't I what I wouldn't do to be at home in the future, but there had never been any war and Wyatt was good and was the best big brother ever.

I heard a door bang close by and what sounded like 10 people rushing into the room, I could no longer pretend that the world was perfect and I had to get on with the lot I have been given. I am supposed to be the saviour and yet a teenager can't even get a moments peace before someone comes barging into your life. I slowly open my eyes and I am staring at a light green ceiling that looks suspiciously like the one in my bedroom at Grandpa Victor's house. I really do hope that it is Grandpa Victor's home as I can't think right now of a better place to be and be safe.

I hear someone cough to my right hand side and look over to see my 2 grandpa's standing there and staring at me. I realise now that I was right and I am in my bedroom at Grandpa's and seeing both of them I know that I am safe and they will keep me safe. I then start to look fully around the room and realise that my Grandpa's aren't the only ones who are here, but my estimation of ten was a bit of an exaggeration. At the bottom are Auntie Prue and Uncle Andy, and then on my left side are grams, grandma and Uncle Coop. I begin to wonder what they are all doing here, but as I open my mouth there are orbs to my right and Uncle Kyle suddenly appears with a disturbed look on his face. However this turns into a wide smile when he sees me awake and he leans forward and puts his arms around me and hugs me so hard that I can no longer breathe.

"Uncle Kyle, I can't breathe," he lets go of me. "I am glad to see you to, but what are you all doing here? Uncles Kyle, Coop what are you doing here I didn't even know you knew I existed never mind coming to see me." A look of realisation crossed Uncle Coop's face;

"Kyle and I had visits from our future selves telling us about you and some things about the future that we would never otherwise know. As for what we are doing here, we all heard what happened at the manor and thought that we could help and make sure that you got better."

"Chris we know that tonight is bonfire night, your favourite night of the year and who could leave you alone for your first one ever in the past. I was planning on seeing you tonight anyway because you are my Grandson and I love you. Prue what time is it?" I loved what Grandpa Victor was telling me and I had a sneaking suspicion that he was planning something.

"Why it is 6:55pm, which leaves us with 35 minutes to get ready and get there on time, now that you are awake Chris. Now everyone let's leave so that he can get washed and dressed."

"Wait a minute what is going on, why do I need to get showered and dressed? Why is it taking place at 7:30? You are all planning something aren't you?" I was getting slightly annoyed but at the same time I was excited because normally when this happens it is a great surprise, which I will greatly enjoy.

I was too late however as they were already leaving the room not saying anything although they were all grinning like they knew that I would love whatever was going to happen. At the end of the bead I noticed a white fluffy towel along with my favourite shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Also at the end of the room in my favourite armchair there is a pair of jeans with my favourite green jumper, with my parker coat slung over the top, with a pair of sturdy wellies beside it. From these clothes I could see we were heading outside and probably somewhere wet or muddy, knowing this I think I know where we might be going.

Prue's POV

As I shut the door to Chris' room I can hear him complaining that he doesn't know what is going on, but I did love Victor's idea that we not tell him the whole truth. I am so glad that he is now awake and in full health, I can't wait to see his face when he discovers the truth. Grandpa had already organised it and had got him and Chris tickets and was going to call him at 5 then go for dinner and go there after. Well that was kind of ruined by the thing at the manor, but he said that as long as Chris is awake they are still going as it will cheer them both up, also my sisters won't be going as they are having their own private party.

In the last 2 and ¾ hours we have been cleaning the house up and putting up all the crystals to ensure ultimate safety if the sisters decide to come by. Then we all had showers and got changed to go on the surprise as Victor managed to get some last minute tickets for all of us, as a large group of people had, had to pull out at last minute. We hadn't done much else we mainly just got to know each other as Coop had never met anyone before and none of us had me him either. Kyle had only returned once to tell us that Phoebe was not at the manor and none of the others seemed to know where she was. While Kyle was back we told him about our plans for tonight then he orbed back to the manor to continue his spying and to come back around 7pm to get ready.

We have all decided to not do anything to the girls for at least a couple of days as we want to get to know Chris and let him be a teenager for a while and not have the weight of the world on his shoulders. In this time we will consolidate our resources and come up with a proper plan of attack and we are also considering bringing in an outsider who can mediate between the two sides of the family.

AN: please read and review this time as I had only 2 reviews so far for the other chapter and I do thank those 2 people, I do accept anonymous reviews. Also review with your guesses of what Chris' surprise will be, people who guess correctly will get a mention next chapter. I do expect to be posting another chapter tomorrow so please stay tuned for it. Next chapter they go to Chris's surprise and we hear a bit more from Phoebe and what she is really up to.
