Twisting the Truth
Chapter 9
The Halliwell Stubbornness
Author's notes: Sorry, for the long wait. As usual life and my depression is getting me down. I hope you all enjoy this chapter and think that it was worth the wait. I only own my OC's Prues' children and grandchildren.
The young witch/Whitelighter was flipping through the book of shadows with his telekinesis. His family knew he wasn't just an ordinary witch now after all. He saw no reason to hide his powers anymore.
He was looking for more demons that could possibly turn his big brother, Wyatt evil. Whenever he came to a demon that he thought might be a threat he wrote it down on a piece of paper he had and then turned to the next page.
Everything was fine for the moment. The sisters were at their respective jobs, with the exception of Prue ,who was helping her daughter with her kids, and Piper who was watching Wyatt. The moment of peace didn't last for long though.
"Chris we need to talk." Leo said as he entered the attic.
"I'm kind of busy at the moment, Leo." Chris responded, not even looking up from the book.
"Chris we need to talk." The Elder repeated firmly.
Chris slammed the Book of Shadows closed in his anger. "What's there to talk about?" He demanded. "How you abandoned me? How I was never as good as Wyatt? Never as important as him?" He shook his head. "I've heard it all before."
"Chris-"
"Look. I'm sorry I manipulated you and the sisters. But it was the only way to make sure that Wyatt wouldn't get turned evil. I had to be the sisters' Whitelighter in able to be close enough to protect Wyatt."
"I know that you only had good intentions, Chris. I trust you now."
"Only because you know the truth about me." The witchlighter scoffed.
"Chris, please. Just talk to me, give me a chance."
His cousin's earlier statements echoed through his mind. "Maybe you should have tried to hear him out." "Maybe you should give him a chance in the past."Chris sighed and decided to take his cousins advice. His cousin had never steered him wrong before, After all. He was usually right and he did give good advice. Seeing as his mom was 'Ask Phoebe' it was no surprise to him.
But Chris was nothing if not stubborn. Prue said he got it from his mother. Though he could argue that his aunts were pretty stubborn themselves. "Forget it. I have work to do." With that the witchlighter orbed out ready to hunt down some more possible demons that could turn his brother.
Leo sighed after his future son left. He would try again later as soon as he saw the young man again.
"So who exactly is Chris?" Piper asked.
Prue looked up from her cup of coffee. "Excuse me?"
"I mean he appears out of nowhere, he manipulates us, lies to us." Piper began, "I know he's your adopted son Prue but-"
"But nothing Piper." Prue said firmly. "Chris is my son even if it's not by blood. Whatever he's done; he's only had good intentions in mind."
"We literally know nothing about him Prue." Phoebe argued. "Except that he's your adopted son from the future. How did you adopt him? Why did you adopt him?"
"He's my son!" Prue hissed. "That should be a good enough reason for you all to trust him."
"Oh and if Future Wyatt came here we should just trust him too right? Because he's Piper's son!" Paige said sarcastically.
Prue's eyes narrowed. "You know, I can see why Chris never told you anything. You're a bunch of judgemental jerks." She spat angrily standing up.
The three others looked at their eldest sister with a mixture of confusion and answer. They wondered what she had meant with that last statement.
"I'm going to go help Purity with the girls." She announced suddenly. She exited the room with her cup of coffee left unfinished on the table.
Prue sighed exasperated. She had promised that she wouldn't loose her temper; but her sisters were pushing her to her limits. "What's the matter Mom?" Purity asked entering the room.
"You're aunts." She stated as if explained everything.
"What about them?" She said. "What did they do this time?"
Prue sighed again and ran a hand through her hair. "Where are the girls?" She avoided her daughters question completely.
"They're with baby Wyatt in his room." She told her. "Benjamin's with them right now."
"Do you know where Chris went?"
"Not a clue."
"He probably went after another demon." Paige offered as she entered the room.
She whirled around to face her youngest sister. "WHAT!?"
"Yeah, he always does it." She seemed unconcerned about him.
"By himself?!" She demanded. "And tell me where were you guys? Have you even been helping him?"
"Mom,"
"Not now Purity!" She faced her daughter for a moment before going back to Paige. In that moment Piper and Phoebe entered the room as well.
"What's going on?" Phoebe asked."
"I'll tell you what's going on." The eldest Halliwell hissed. "Chris has gone to the underworld by himself to vanquish demons."
"He does it all the time." Piper waved off her concerns; which pissed of the telekinetic witch even more.
"He's working his ass off trying to save your son. The least you could do is help him."
"Mom- Chris is in trouble." Purity said suddenly. "He needs help now!"
Prue was at her daughters side in an instant. "Do you know where he is?"
"The Underworld, other than that, no." She looked extremely concerned.
"Purity orb us to the underworld now." Prue ordered. The young woman concentrated on her link with Chris and used her telepathy and tapped into his powers.
They two women appeared in a swirl of orbs in the underworld. Prue saw Chris lying on the ground with a dark lighter arrow in his side.
"No, no no!" She ran to his side. "Christopher, can you hear me?" She pulled her head in her lap.
He groaned in pain and stirred a little bit. "Mom?"
"Shh, it's okay honey." She said tears in her eyes. "You're going to be just fine, okay."
"That's where your wrong witch." It was only then that Prue realized they were surrounded by a loose circle of demons, warlocks, and darklighters. "You're all going to die here witches."
"Like hell we will!" She slipped out from under Chris and laid his head down gently. She then jumped to her feet. "Purity stay with Chris protect him. I'm going to take care of the demons." Then the eldest Halliwell unleashed hell on them.
She fought furiously using her telekinesis and an athame; she stabbed and tossed demons away from the unconscious Witch/Whitelighter. Purity used her shapeshifting power to turn into animals and tear the demons apart. Their methods were very effective and soon the demons were gone. A good potion of them had been vanquished; the rest had fled in terror.
Purity grabbed a hold of her mother's and Chris's hands and orbed them back to the manor.
"Leo get down here now!" Prue yelled.
He was there in an instant at her side. Prue broke off the tip of the darklighter arrow and pulled the rest of it out of his side.
"What's going o- oh my god!" Piper exclaimed. The sisters ran to their whitelighters side.
"What happened?" Phoebe asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" She snarled at them as Leo began to heal the young witchlighter. "He got shot by a darklighter going to the underworld. Because none of you would go with him to vanquish demons."
Prue was livid. How dare they let him- family or not- go to the underworld by himself. He toke on multiple demons by himself, not to mention warlocks, and darklighters. The witch would have said more but then Chris began to stir. He groaned for the second time and tried to sit up. "Lay back down Chris. You've ben through hell today." She said gently.
"It's no different than any other day." He said offhandedly.
Prue looked like she was about to chew her younger sisters out again; but Chris was her main priority. Chris needed her right now.
"How did you even find me?"
"I sensed you through my telepathy with our bond and then tapped into your power to orb us to the underworld." Purity explained.
"You shouldn't have done that." He argued weakly. "You're pregnant Purity."
"Really? I forgot." She commented sarcastically. She turned to the others. "How are the girls?"
It took them a moment to figure out that she was talking about her daughters, Prue's granddaughters. "They're with Benjamin upstairs." Leo told them.
Chris noticed the Elder's presence for the first time. "You guys need to get back to the future." Chris told them.
Purity looked ready to argue but a look from her mother stopped her. "We'll talk about it later." Prue assured him. "Right now you get some rest."
Chris was about to protest when Prue shot him the same look. Chris fell silent. Prue helped the young whitelighter onto the couch and had him lay down.
"I can take care of Chris." The eldest Halliwell told her daughter. "Go help Ben look after your daughters." She nodded and ran to check on them.
Chris reluctantly closed his eyes and fell asleep. Prue kissed his forehead and patted down his hair. She sat by his side keeping a close eyes on the witchlighter.
Author's notes: I'm so sorry for the long wait. My depression as usual, is really severe. It got to the point where I almost ended my life on December 11th of last year; which was also my 19th birthday. After some serious thought I moved in with my eldest sister to the other side of the United States of America. I'm a little bit better. I don't have urges to hurt myself anymore or end my life. But I'm still very depressed. Anyways enough of the serious talk. What do you think of this chapter?
