"So, come on what did you find out?" Wyatt asked. Chris sat in his rocker chair and stared ahead. He sank deep in his thoughts. Wyatt shook his shoulders.
"What?" Wyatt rolled his eyes.
"You spoke to yourself and you ask what?"
"Have I spoken something?
"Yep. And I am wondering that why you are saying "Why today?"?"
"Oh…" replied Chris. He looked straight into his brother's eyes. "You didn't pay enough attention to the demon!"
"???"
"Now I'm citing: "Who told us to kill him today! "
"Okay, I heard it t…" his blue eyes became wide. "Just don't say that…oh no…" murmured Wyatt and he sat down onto his brother's bed.
"What's the matter with my birthday?" murmured the green eyed. Wyatt looked at Chris like he would be an idiot.
"A hundred demons try to kill you, and your only problem is why they chose your birthday???" Chris looked at him with large eyes. He slowly nodded. Wyatt made a grimace, than he got up and made his way to the door. The younger with a wave of his hand closed the door. (The tk makes miracles as you know!)
"Where do you want to go?"
"Out!"
"More?" Wyatt pointed to the ceiling.
"Why do you want to go 'Up there'?" Chris asked with wide eyes. Wyatt with one hand rasped his face. He left fine red lines on it.
"Not to 'Up there', you idiot! TO THE ATTIC!!!
"Oh…" the door opened. "Um… Wyatt!"
"He?"
"The orb is faster…" Wyatt left the room. He picked up the book, what he got today.
"What should I do?" he asked and he opened the book.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wyatt didn't orb. He walked. He stepped in front of the Book of Shadows. He looked at the book puzzled. "I don't know what I am searching for." He thought than he said it aloud. The book slowly opened than its pages, like when the wind is bowling, started to slip. Wyatt watched this curiously, but his hopes went away when it closed.
"Na, I saw you neither…" he stepped to the case, where they store the vanquishing potions. He put of some of them. He made them with Chris and their cousins. The power of six. He made his way to his brother's bedroom. Walking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris slipped the pages of the book. He found some very useful answer, but he found some very funny too. "My unknown answers, huh?" he laughed at himself.
"Stay awake!" he red from the book.
"It's a useful advice." He muttered. But suddenly he felt exhausted. He didn't wonder, he didn't sleep well last night. He didn't want to sleep; he only closed his eyes for a moment. But as he closed them, he sank into a dream.
"It was the park, where he spent his younger years. He slowly went further from the other people in. Slowly everything went quiet. He walked next to trees. "Like a wood." He thought. He never came that far. Than he saw her again. The girl from the station.
"What are you doing here?" he asked when he walked closer.
"I was walking here, like you." She answered, when she looked at him. There was something in her brown eyes which disturbed the boy. He ran through his fingers in his hair restlessly. A voice from his mind told him to leave immediately. His intuitions never lied to him.
"I'm glad to meet you, and that you are okay, but I have to leave now!" he said truthfully and turned around to leave.
"You are already leaving?" she asked. In her voice there was something not human too. "But I don't know your name! How could I make it up to you, if I don't know your name?" Chris slowly turned back and looked at her. The girl watched him without blink. He slowly recognized the thing in her eyes. Hunger.
"You don't have to!" he answered quickly, than he started to run. He only did few steps, when a power clamped his throttle. He gasped for air and fell to the ground. He watched with wide eyes as the girl came closer. She stopped next to him and looked down with out blink.
"What's your name!" he suddenly felt anger in him. He waved with his hand and throw the woman to a three with a great strength. He closed his eyes."
When he opened them he found himself lying under huge trees. The power which choked him disappeared. He sighed with relief. He stood up and dusted his clothes. He wanted to think again everything, but he couldn't remember about lot of things. He only remembered the girl and the choking. He couldn't combine the two. And the "how did I get there?" question was there too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wyatt was walking to his bro's room. When he entered he saw that Chris felt asleep in his rocker chair. "Oh, men! This boy always sleeping!" he thought. He put down the potions onto the table. He felt the soft wind blowing in the room, from behind him. He looked up and saw as the sleeping Chris disappeared in red lights. The rocker chair was empty.
"Chris?" he asked hesitantly. Than he ran out of the room to the kitchen, where his parents were panning the evening.
"What's the matter, Wyatt?" Leo asked as he saw his son's face. He told them very fast what had happened.
"I can't find him anywhere." He added. Piper quickly thought everything again. And he started to instruct the others.
"Leo,
bring the crystal and the map, Wyatt, call Sam, maybe he can help."
She
went upstairs to search in the Book of Shadows.
"I should have done this in the morning!" she
thought angry at herself.
Wyatt orbed the phone to him and he
said to it angry.
"Samuel Halliwell!" the phone quickly called the other boy's. The blond boy wasn't famous for his patient but know he loved to jump in his worry. A voice broke the silence.
"Yes? Here Sam. What's the matter Wyatt?"
"Chris is gone! Can you find him?" the boy asked quickly. There was silence for a minute.
"Sam?" Wyatt asked worriedly.
"The park. The northern part." Sam replied. Wyatt got the place from the telepath.
"Thank you, Sam! I owe you one!"
"In the evening you'll tell us everything!"
"Sure" they put down the phone. He turned to his father.
"I got him!" he didn't wait for answer. He orbed away. Leo ran to his wife.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wyatt arrived next to a huge tree. He quickly ran where the telepath showed the place. After a few minutes he found him, as he looked around a little bit puzzled.
"Chris!" he shouted. Chris looked up and grinned at his brother. Wyatt run to him and hugged him.
"Do you know that you frightened us to death? "He asked when Chris pulled away.
"I was on my way to home!" murmured Chris. "Where did you know that I would be there?"
"When you disappeared I called Sam. He found you."
"So I must count about the others questions."
"A little thankfulness, Sir Crabby!"
"I thought that you forgot this nickname! I hate it!"
"I've got other ones!"
"Rather no!" murmured Chris. They orbed to the Manor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When they arrived Piper hugged Chris so tightly that he nearly choked to death. She said sadly that they didn't find anything in the Book of Shadows. They had to accept Chris' theory about the dreams. Plus there was the demon attach which would come or not, but about this only Wyatt and Chris knew. They continued the organization of the evening. At six o'clock, the guests arrived. First Paige and her family appeared in blue orb lights. Henry and his wife said "Happy birthday!" than the twins.
"Happpyyyyyyyyyyyy Birthdaaaaay, Chris!" Patricia shouted, when he jumped onto the boy. "Is everything okay there?"
"Sure!" he said quickly. Than Penelope came who was only one minute younger than her sister.
"Happy Birthday, Chrissy!" the girl said grinning. Chris got a grate huge from her too. "Aunt Piper, can we go up to the attic?
"It's okay, Penny. Do what you want. " the four witch orbed up to the attic. There was a couch in front of the painted window. Penny sat down and looked at the Book of Shadows.
"Have you thought about, if there is a Book of Shadows, than there must be a Book of Lights?" she asked.
"It's possible." Wyatt nodded. "But I Haven't heard about this." Patty looked at the two boys. Than Chris, who raised an eyebrow.
"We knew what happened today." The girl started. Wyatt sat down next to his cousin.
"Sam?" he asked. Patty nodded.
"We think that you shouldn't take it easy! I don't like this dream stuff." Penny said.
"We take it serious, but we can't do anything. I don't remember about my dreams and there is nothing in the Book. I don't think a demon makes this."
"You don't remember? In the morning you did!" Wyatt said annoyed.
"Only few things, not everything! If we want to do something with this, I need to remember everything, every little part of it! Without this, I am puzzled!" said the brunette boy.
"It's strange, Chris! You never puzzled as I know!" said a voice from the attic door. Everybody looked there. Sam and Prue entered the attic grinning. The girl hugged everybody. Sam only said mockingly:
"such a beautiful group of people!" they looked at each other. Wyatt was the oldest and the tallest. He was 21 years old. He was strong and muscular, he has two crystal blue eyes full off goodness. His blond hair was short, he wore jeans and a white shirt. The next was Chris, who was 19. He was tall to, but shorter than his brother. His thinness made him look taller. His hair was a little longer, so Piper always threaded him with a hair cut. He has jade green eyes, which made the people around him to stare into them. He wore black jeans and red t-shirt. The next was Prudence, Coop' and Phoebe's daughter. She was 18 years old this time. She was the smallest in the group. Her dark brown hair reached her waist. Her chocolate brown eyes were full of good, warm and love. On her finger there was a cupid ring. She wore jeans and light blue shirtwaist. The twins came. The older Patty, and the younger Penny. Only one minute! They were very same. Same long, blonde hair, same crystal blue eyes, the same slim body. Two months later they will be 18 too. The wore white mini-skirt and dark green shirt. Than the youngest, Samuel. He was Prue's younger brother, but he deported himself like he was the older. He always protected his sister, but he was only 17. He was smaller than Chris and Wyatt. His hair was similar as Chris's so he had to ran away, when Phoebe mentioned his hair too. He was telepath, and empathy too, he inherited all of his mother powers and plus some more. He has brown eyes like his sister. He wore jeans and green t-shirt too. This was the power of six. Some very-very strong witches.
They sat/stood in front of/next to each other without words. But Prue broke the silence.
"Can somebody tell us what happened exactly? Because of Sam, we know about the demon attach. But we wan to hear it from you!"
"Must we speak about this today?" Chris asked. He was annoyed that everybody wanted to worry about him.
"Today Is the important thing, Chris!" Sam shook his head.
"I'm okay! I can take care of myself! Moreover there is Wyatt, who look after me 24 per day!" Chris replied very-very annoyed.
"Like today?" Prue sprang. The twins looked up.
"What happened today?" Patty asked. The only knew about the dreams. Chris warned Prue with his eyes.
"Nothing happened toda…
"Only a Darklighter shoot him down. " Wyatt said calmly.
"Chris!" Penny stood up angry.
"I take it serious! Okay? Can we change the subject?"
"Like what?" Sam was curious.
"DINNER!" they heard Piper.
"Perfect!" "Mom saved the day!" Chris orbed away. The others followed him quickly. They didn't say anything about the event along the dinner. After that everybody gave him the presents. There were CDs and books, and lot of other things. They started to talk happily. The big family was together again. Nobody expected what was coming. The cluttered room filled up with 30 demons. They attached everybody without hesitation. Wyatt threw up his shield, but he couldn't hold it up long because they attached it together. (Again this day!) Everybody knew this; they collected all of their power to fight back.
"I hate the Elders!" Sam shouted.
"Thanks!" Chris replied hurtly.
"You are only half Elder!"
"It has nothing to do with the Elders!"
"Oh, it does!" Sam broke out of the shield. While he fought he got the premonitions all the time, so he always know when somebody tried to attach him from behind or somebody needed help. He loved the levitation too; he combined his powers like how Chris and Wyatt taught him. He used the demons number against them. One of the premonitions showed him that an athame stab him on his back. He turned around and saw, that he hadn't got enough time. In the last moment the athame disappeared in blue orb lights and reappeared in the heart of a demon. Sam searched for his saver in the fight.
"Be careful, Sam!" Penny said.
"Thanks Pen!"
"Where are they going?" Wyatt shouted. Everybody looked up. All of the demons shimmered away.
"Everybody is okay?" Chris asked. He felt a bad feeling in his throat. He usually feels that, when somebody from his family is in danger.
"Where is Prue?" Coop asked worriedly.
"I'm going after them!" said Wyatt with threat in his voice, than he orbed away.
"Wyatt! Wait!" shouted Chris, who went quickly after him. Penelope grabbed Sam's arm without a word and orbed like Patricia.
"Hey!" Henry said hopeless. The parents shared a worried look. The control slipped away from their hand a long time ago.
