Destiny Awaits.
Charmed X Eragon.
Summary: Chris was never treated fairly by his family. Wyatt was the golden child who everyone loved. He was just the second child. When an adventure comes his way, Chris is determined to take it and get away from his life. But will he be ready for the dangers in store?
Disclaimer: I own nothing. I don't own Eragon or Charmed. Hmm, I would like Drew Fuller though...Hehe!
AN: I've not finished the second book yet, so it will be set after it (I.E. Eragon's finished his training), but won't contain that much about it. Hope you don't mind!
Chapter One.
Chris Halliwell sighed and shut the book that he was writing in. It was his journal. He wrote everything in it. Everything that went on in his life. All his feelings. It was all stored in one leather bound journal his older brother had gotten him for Christmas.
Chris sighed again.
He loved his brother dearly. He did. But sometimes he could be irritating. Especially when his family went on about his 'twice blessed' prophesy.
Chris laughed to himself. Didn't they ever think about the fact that he was twice blessed too? He was also the son of a witch and a whitelighter. Heck. He was the son of a witch and an elder!
But no. It was always precious Wyatt.
Chris was glad to have his brother though. Wyatt seemed to be the only one who cared.
Well. Wyatt and Aunt Paige.
Paige always understood how Chris felt, just like Wyatt, even if the other family didn't.
A knock at the door brought him out of his thoughts.
"Chris! Dinner's ready!" Wyatt called.
Chris sighed once more. He wasn't in the mood to face his family once again going on about Wyatt. He needed to get out.
Opening the bedroom door, he faced Wyatt. "I'm not hungry Wy. I'm gonna go for a walk".
Wyatt looked at his little brother curiously as they desended the stairs. "You sure".
Chris opened the door but turned to look at his brother giving him a small, but genuine smile. "I'm sure. But thanks Wy".
Wyatt smiled back and watched as his brother left closing the door behing him.
As soon as the door closed though, Wyatt frowned. He knew exactly what was wrong with his brother. But he couldn't do anything to stop it. And that's what hurt him more.
Chris walked into the night, the cold wind blowing on his face. He knew he'd have to go back soon, but right now, he felt free.
He walked through the park and found the large oak tree he always sat in when he felt like this.
His hands and feet gripped on the trees grooves so easily. He'd been sitting in this tree for exactly 3 years now. The first time he'd sat in it was when it was his 14th birthday. He had been so exited. Then a demon attacked. And suddenly, everything had been thrown out the window. And when it was over. They threw a party for Wyatt instead; because he'd discovered a new power.
So much for happy birthday.
And now it was his 17th birthday. No one said happy birthday. Except for Wyatt and Aunt Paige. As usual.
Tears fell down his face. Why couldn't his parents care!
Did they not care?
Was there something wrong with him?
Suddenly, a bright light flashed from behind some of the parks trees.
Jumping down from his perch, Chris raced to when he thought it had come from.
No one was there.
And then he saw it.
A large rock in the middle of the clearing.
Chris bent down to get a better look at it.
It was about a foot long and maroon, with dark orange and black streaks on it.
Chris smiled and picked it up. It was fairly heavy, but he could carry it.
Lifting it and tucking it in his bag, he made his way home.
Now, most people would think it was merely a stone but one of Chris' powers, was that he could sense magic and energy in objects and beings.
He sensed a lot of power emanating from within the stone.
Chris didn't know what the stone was, but he knew it was special.
Wyatt walked up to Paige's bedroom door and knocked softly. "Aunt Paige" He called out.
"Come in Wyatt" Paige said happily, opening the door and hugging her nephew. "What's the matter?" Paige asked, noticing the sad look on Wyatt's face.
Wyatt sighed. "It's Chris".
Paige suddenly turned angry. "What about him?" She'd always been very protective of Chris.
Wyatt smiled lightly, but then turned sad. "They forgot again".
Paige's fist smashed against the cabinet. "Again!" She yelled. "They forgot last year!".
Wyatt smiled sympathetically. "I know".
Paige sighed. "Did he like the spell book and the jacket?"
Wyatt nodded. "Mom saw him wearing it before dinner. She never caught on".
Paige sighed, a few tears falling down her face. "Chris doesn't deserve this".
Wyatt nodded. "What can we do? It's the way they are".
"Just make sure that Chris knows we love him. And try to get the others to realise what they're doing to him".
Wyatt nodded and then suddenly they heard a door slam.
Wyatt smiled. "I guess Chris' home".
Paige nodded and opened the bedroom door, walking downstairs to meet Chris, Wyatt followed.
"Hey aunt Paige" Chris said, coming out of the kitchen, an apple in his hands. "Hey Wy".
"I'll be upstairs if you need me" Chris said before racing upstairs.
Paige frowned and then noticed that her sisters and Leo were in the living room, none of them bothered about Chris' presence.
Paige sighed again before heading back to her room, Wyatt doing the same.
"Night Wyatt!" Piper called making Wyatt's face contort in anger.
Chris sat on his bed, bag in front of him as he carefully took out the stone.
"I wonder what you are" Chris said, looking at the stone.
Chris smiled. "I'll have to go to magic school tomorrow and have a look". He then placed the stone bag in his bag, which he then placed in his wardrobe, safe and sound.
Satisfied with the stone's hiding place, Chris crawled into bed, letting sleep overtake him.
When Chris woke the next morning, he immediately went to the wardrobe. But when Chris opened it, he was shocked to find the egg smashed, a small creature sitting inside of it.
The creature was asleep but woke by Chris' shocked gasp.
"It was an egg" Chris said looking at the broken shell and then at the creature. "And you're a dragon" Chris said after noticing the creatures now expanded wings.
The dragon leap at him and landed on his chest. It looked at him with big eyes. The dragon matched the egg too. It was red with a few dark orange stripes and black tips.
Chris laughed as the dragon snuggled up to him. "You know. I've been told you existed. But I've never seen you before". Chris smiled and petted the dragon's head, but pulled back when a strange light erupted from his hand. It quickly subsided and Chris noticed a strange swirl that was now scarred into his palm. Chris looked at the dragon. "That was strange".
He looked at the dragon. It was merely staring at him.
Chris smiled. "You need a name". He put his hand to his chin. "Well your red. Blaze?"
The dragon growled unhappily.
Chris laughed. "Ember?"
Another growl.
"I get it. Sorry. You're a she. Ruby then. It certainly suits you".
The dragon squealed happily and Chris gave it a little hug. "I have a feeling that we're going to be good friends".
Suddenly, Chris heard his mother's voice shout. "Chris! Breakfast!" Then footsteps on the stairs.
Chris looked around frantically. There was no where to hide Ruby. He looked at the small dragon and put her in his arms. "We gotta go" He whispered before orbing out.
It was 3 seconds later, when Piper opened the door. "He must have gone out" Piper said to herself, sighing before shutting the door.
Chris looked around at the dense forest where he'd landed. Where was Mist?
He looked around and finally saw who he was looking for. A woman with blonde hair and blue eyes approached him.
"Chris? What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Well, not the welcome I expected Mist" Chris said sarcastically.
Mist smiled. "You know you're always welcome here Chris"
Chris had to smile. The Valkyrie's were of the few people he could call true friends. He'd met them 4 years ago when they came to him asking for help in their war against the demons who were trying to take over Valhalla. He'd agreed knowing that it was his job to protect all good magical beings. Since then, he'd always been welcome at Valhalla, and it always felt like home.
"But what are you doing here?" Mist asked again.
Chris gave her a grin. "I need a favour".
Mist nodded for him to continue and Chris looked at Ruby who was still safe in his arms. "I need you to keep her for a while. If Mum finds out..."
Mist nodded. "I'll have to speak to Freyja. But i'm sure she won't mind. Not after what you've done for us Chris".
"Thank you" Chris said and gave Mist a hug. Out of all the Valkyrie's, she was the one he was closest to.
The three made their way to the forest until they came to a clearing with a large cave in the mountainside.
As soon as they entered, a voice called out. "Christopher!"
It was Freyja. "Chris, how are you?".
"I'm good thanks. And you?" Chris replied.
"I'm fine, thank you Chris" Freyja replied. "What is it you need?"
" A favour" Chris said and a grin appeared again as he held out Ruby. "I found her egg late last night and she hatched this morning. I don't want Mum to find her, so I was wondering if she could stay here?"
"It'll be fine Chris" Freyja replied, smiling. "Just find a nice place for her in the forest. There's plenty for her to eat".
"Thanks Freyja" Chris said, smiling at the head Valkyrie.
Freyja smiled and pulled him into a hug. "Anything for you Christopher".
She released him and Chris grinned. "I guess I'll go check out the forest then. Thanks again".
Freyja and Mist nodded, smiling as he left.
Chris finally found the perfect spot for Ruby. It was near the waterfall so she'd have plenty to drink and there was a lot of wildlife around, so she'd have plenty to eat aswell.
He set her on one of the tree branches and said. "I don't want to leave you. But my Mum can't find out about you. I promise I'll check on you regularly. I love you Ruby". Chris gave her a little hug and Ruby snuggled into his neck.
Chris pulled away from the hug and smiled brightly at Ruby. "I'll check on you later. Ok?" Chris smiled once more before orbing out.
