Chapter 2
The scenery outside the window was breathtaking. The mountains were covered in snow, while the valley was lush with emerald colored grass. Even the stubborn child, who sat by himself on the train, had to admit that the landscape was beautiful. He wasn't used to this much nature since he was a city boy, born and raised in San Francisco.
"Why me", said the boy out loud. "You're the twice bless child, why couldn't they come after you?".
"It's because I'm the twice bless that they wouldn't dare come near me", said a voice, jokingly in his head. "It's going to be ok Chrissie. Don't worry about anything except your new schoolwork".
"Wy, do you know you're a pain in my a..", before Chris could continue the cabin door open to reveal a nervous looking boy and a girl with white blond hair and sky blue eyes, that reminded Chris of Wyatt's eyes.
"We're sorry to disturb you, but most of the other cabins are full and we were wondering if we might join you", said the girl.
Chris just shrugged his shoulders and retreated himself farther towards the window. He tried to sense for his brother but his brother had blocked their bond. He usually had to end their conversation when he was around others. People tend to stare when someone loses focus of their surroundings or start having conversations by them selves.
"Hello, I'm Luna Loveingal, and this is Neville Longbottom", said the girl.
"Chris", he said without looking at them. He really didn't want to talk to anyone, he was still to mad that his parents sent him away. Even if it was to protect him, he was still upset that his family didn't think he could fend for himself against demons. He was the son of an Elder for Christ sake, wilding the force of heaven in one hand and the power of a Halliwell in the other. The two new passengers quickly picked up on his mood and decided not to engage further.
After what felt like forever, Chris was becoming restless. Wishing something intrusting would happened, he was to exited when he heard the jingling sound in his head. He closed his eyes, controlling his breathing , "in and out", he tought to himself. He began to meditating until he had a warm feeling spread thought out his body. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the middle of a white room with a large circular glass table in the middle. Sitting round the table, in chairs that looked as if they were made of clouds, sat nineteen men and women wearing golden robes.
"Welcome Christopher, we were beginning to worry that you wouldn't show up", said the Elder named Orin, who was also the one Elder the Halliwell family disliked the most and vice versa.
"I do apologies for my tardiness", Chris said to the other elders, avoiding his father questioning look. "For you see, ever since the council and Halliwell family decided to send me way. It's become harder for me to appear at any given moment", he said while clearly trying to keep his attitude in check. He still couldn't believe his mother had instructed him to speak properly to the Elders.
"We don't want your pathetic excuses(It was no secret for his dislike toward the half elder), now sit down so we my begin. We have already wasted enough time waiting for..".
"Odin", begin Leo but was interrupted when another Elder placed his hand on Leo's shoulder
"That's enough Odin", said the Elder Kevin. Odin was always trying to find him guilty of something, anything that would cause the other Elders to remove Chris' Elder powers.
Chris let out a breath of relief when Kevin intervened. Although Kevin was one of the youngest of the Elders, he also was one of the strongest, with his power of mental projection. Out of all the Elders, Kevin was his favorite, as was Chris was Kevin's favorite.
"Lets begin", said the Elder Cassandra, " This meeting was called for an update concurring the protection of Christopher". "Go ahead Leo".
"At the moment, my son is on his way to the wizarding school known as Hogwarts, located somewhere in Europe. He will arrive sometime within the next several hours". "I have already spoken to the Head Master of the school and made sure the school has extra proctection against demons".
"What are the plans for young Christopher once he arrives that the school", asked Elder Michael. Chris didn't know what to think of this Elder. He seemed to keep his opinion, concerning the balance of power between the Halliwell family and the elders to himself. Since the birth of the charmed children, the balance of authority seemed to shifted from the Elders to the family of powerful witches.
"Once I arrive at the school…", Chris began to state until he was rudely inturuped by the sudden sensation of being pulled away. He began to consetrate on keeping his unique Astro form from returning to his body.
"Chistopher, what's wrong!", Chris looked into the worried eyes of his father before he faded back in to his body.
