Memories Of Midnight

Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed.

Takes place after ChrisCrossed. Wyatt is getting very impatient with his brother so he sends another person to the past to retrieve Chris. One person he knows would never fail.

Author's Note: Another Chris story. Im trying something a bit different to develop my skills. So if you read this chapter let me know what you think ok. Also everything that is in italics are memories of various persons. In time all things will be revealed thanks for reviewing.

Confusion. That was the only word that came to mind that could even begin to describe what was going on in the manor. Downstairs in the conservatory, Leo had managed to get everyone down there yet the level of shock and well confusion was one thing they could not yet explain. His gaze went towards his former wife, he sighed, her continence seemed so unfamiliar, the woman he had known to become so strong and controlled over the past few years seemed as if she was on the point of breaking, I mean how would you feel if the one person you loved and lost was sitting before you happy and healthy. Oh how he wanted to comfort her, but alas it pained his heart to know he wasn't allowed to do that anymore at least since the divorce. He gazed to his former sister in laws who less controlled about their emotions, Phoebe who seemed to be openly weeping with one hand on her chest and the other as if she was trying to touch her deceased elder sister but stopped in fear to avoid the possibility that she may disappear; Paige on the other hand was simply dumbfounded, coming face to face with the superwitch.

"So why are you here?" Chris asked knocking everyone out of their daze. He spoke with a bit more control then he had done earlier upstairs. His green jaded eyes seem to be piercing that of the eldest Charmed one. He had to, why is he doing this to me?

Prue was the first to drop her gaze. "I came to help you, to WARN you." She said in a soft sad voice, one that represented that of a child, a tone that no one else aside from the future comers were familiar too. Chris fixed his mouth to continue his questioning but was cut short.

"What the hell are you doing here Prue? You've been dead for over 3 years." Piper said in a harsh tone. It was harder than she had intended to but the fact that Prue flinched at her tone, she seemed quite pleased with the response.

"Well as you know, life doesn't really end at death." Prue said shifting her gaze between Chris and his sister. Should I tell them? Prue asked telepathically to her young nephew which seemed to have made him tumble back a bit. She hadn't used that with him in so long, since the incident happened.

Chris simply shrugged. I still don't know if I am to trust you, let alone let you be around them, do whatever the hell you want. But they don't KNOW about me. Prue simply nodded in response.

"What does that mean? Are you a whitelighter?" Phoebe asked gaining her voice for the first time. Prue simply shook her head. "Then what?"

"I…."

"Prue, its not time as yet, you can't tell them." Leo injected stopping Prue and causing 3 pairs of angry eyes to pierce him. He knew it probably would not have made much of a difference because the destiny of the eldest is one that had been set in motion every since her death those 3 years ago, when he just happened to have not been able to heal.

"There my sisters, they deserve a right to know." Prue proclaimed. "They are going to find out sooner or later."

"Wait what do you mean its not time?" Piper asked in a deadly tone towards Leo. He was lucky he was daed already otherwise the look that he was receiving from her would have been one that would have killed him on the spot. "Don't you dare say anything about rules or elders because Leo this is our family and to some people that still matters first."

"What do you guys know about Guardians?" Prue asked ignoring the low curses let out by Leo.

"They don't know much, they haven't faced them yet. You know that." Chris said backhandedly. "They don't need to know much more than that either. Whether we like it or not, Leo is right, we cant risk you not coming back when you have to, before time. It can mess up with the timeline more than we want to."

"Okay someone better start talking before I start blowing up, orbs and all." Prue smiled a bit at the statement, seeing a glimpse off the woman her little sister had been going up into. But that's life sometimes, it forces you to transform, to grow, to develop. Something she had known all too well.

"Better yet, why don't you just tell me why you are back? And how did you get here? I took the spell with me when I came."

"I think we should go somewhere else and talk, away from them." She said referring to the past dwellers. No matter how much she cared about them, there was just some things that no one should have to endure, to live through and she was not one to issue that pain onto them, not now at least.

"No you should be able to tell whatever you are going to tell to him in front of all of us. We are tired of the secrets and don't you dare say 'future consequences'." Piper warned looking between the pair. He was interested to say the least at the level of familiarity between her deceased sister and neurotic whitelighter.

Prue looked over at Chris who seemed to be struggling with his emotions. She had not seen her nephew like this is so long, I guess she was the reason for that, it wasn't something she could change now.

A 14 year old Chris sat on top of the golden gate bridge with his legs dangling off the side. His journeys had been one that had been associated with joy and freedom but not today, today it was being affliated with sadness, despair but most of all failure. He had seemed to be in his own little world that he did not recognize the individual standing behind him.

"Do you want to talk?" Prue asked cautiously inching forward to the young teen. How do you begin a conversation with someone who had lost everything he ever held dear.

"Does it look like I want to talk Prue?" His tone was one that pierced her, the fact that he had referred her to her name instead of the term 'aunty' that she had come so familiar to hearing was one that caused her the most pain.

"Chris, I'm sorry."

"Why did you stop me?" Prue took in a deep breath. "Why didn't you let me help them, save them?"

"It needed to be done Chris, the greater good…" She was stop short as she felt the air leaving her body being constricted in her chest. It seemed as if an outside compressing her airway. The pain she was feeling caused her to start to drop to her knees.

At the sound behind him, Chris knocked out him gazed and ran over to his fallen aunt. He looked down at his hand and noticed his fist was enclosed and quickly relinquished his grip on her. She doubled over in pain and started to let out a fit of coughs.

"Don't say anything about the greater good, its about family Prue, rules and consequences don't matter." With that the young witch orbed out. She shook her head, that was exactly her feelings about the whole situation as well. She was doing this for her family. At that moment dark orbs formed next to her forming into an all too familiar face.

"So what happened?" He asked in an unmoving tone.

"He used the power on me, just like you said he would. But I don't understand why they had to die, why I had to…" Prue inquired to the one person who had more control over her then she wanted.

"Because if he is to join me, he need to let go and be strong. Come." He said sending out a hand to bring her to her feet. "Lets go." And with that they disappeared in a flurry of dark orbs.

That had the point she should have known to have said something to someone, something that could have probably helped instead of caused her to lose her family, everything she held dear. It seemed as if she had been quiet for too long because the gazing of the room participants seemed to be stagnant on her. Gaining her composer, she said the one thing that had been one that no one wanted to hear but she had to, it had to be done.

"I'm here to kill Wyatt."
