Thanks for the reviews so here is the next chapter. The sisters and Leo should learn a lot in this. Piper is already pregnant for the heck of not having to force it which means that they went to the ghostly plane or where ever but no one knows about Chris.
Three days went by and nobody had seen or heard from Chris but no one really cared much and life went on like normal for them. Phoebe was still giving advice and talking to Jason, who was in Hong Kong, on the phone and Paige still was on her quest for 'happiness' on her temp jobs and helping Richard with not using his magic. Leo stayed Up There still but came down to spend time with his ex-wife and his son Wyatt. Piper went back to her club to manage it.
That morning, everyone left the manor to go to their own lives and their jobs. Piper went to the club after she dropped Wyatt off at daycare and went through the front doors of P3. Being so early in the morning, she doubted that anyone would have been there because the club was not open until late at night. She started sorting through all of her beverages that she would be selling and then remembered that she had never checked to see if Chris had left or not. She slowly walked over to the back room in her club and opened the door while taking in a deep breath before walking inside.
Inside, the room was just like she remembered it to be. There were posters that covered all of the walls and a desk off to one corner with the sofa in the far back of the room. Piper walked over to the desk that had stacks of papers on it like a teacher's school desk would normally have. Piper walked behind the desk and looked at a map that was laid out on the desk. It had four columns on the sides which were labeled Demon, Witch, Cross-Breed, and Friends.
"Well, he's been busy." Piper stated to herself quietly then looked at the friends list and started to laugh,"Elders? At least he doesn't trust them either."
"Yeah, I don't." Came a tired voice from behind Piper and she turned quickly to see Chris leaning on the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest. He was wearing a sad smile upon his face after hearing Piper say that.
"And before you ask, no, I haven't been staying here." Chris added quickly before Piper could say anything.
"You shouldn't be here." Piper stated while looking at him.
"I just-" Chris was interrupted.
"I had said for you to leave." Piper said with a bit of anger creeping into her voice.
"I don't-" Chris was again stopped.
"You don't what? You don't realize that you put my son at risk? You don't seem to stop getting your nose in my life." Piper shouted with growing anger at Chris,"Last time I checked, I was free to date Greg, have a normal life, and I don't need a lying manipulator ruining my life!"
"I was just protecting you-" Chris said in a shaky voice.
"Protecting me?" Piper looked at him with dislike,"What are you 'protecting' me from! Now you are sounding exactly like Leo and as much as I love him, I don't like you!"
"I was trying to save you the heartbreak of love." Chris spat back at her in a low angry voice that soon lost its bitterness,"I just don't want to see you get hurt. I was protecting you."
"Protecting me?!" Piper shouted a second time and empty glass that was in the room shattered into a million pieces,"Why should you care?! Your not family!"
Chris just looked at her with a sad rejected look while he stood by the doorway.
"My family does not include you!" Piper shouted at Chris, who looked close to crying,"My family does not lie, manipulate, and use each other."
"I didn't mean-" Chris started.
"I hate you!" Piper shouted out to Chris and she didn't see the look of defeat on his expression,"I hate you! If you ever come around anyone that is related to me somehow, you'll regret it! And if I ever see you again or if you go around Wyatt again, I'll blow your ass Down There!"
She had no idea that by doing that, he would die because he was half-whitelighter and half-witch. Chris was not expecting that to have been said so he looked at the floor in defeat.
"Sorry." Chris apologized with tears starting to fall down his pink-colored cheeks.
"SORRY!?" Piper shouted and a poster on the wall blow up,"Sorry is when you drop something and it gets broke. Sorry is when you accidentally shut a door in someone's face. You have no right to be sorry! You used my son for his shield! You're the evil that turns him! NOW GET OUT!"
"Sorry." Chris said in almost sobbing voice before orbs consumed him and in a bright flash was gone. Piper looked around and then started out the door to go back to the manor. She looked up at the ceiling and know he would hear her.
"You're no longer our whitelighter so go somewhere else! We don't need you or your help!" Piper shouted then left.
The next ten days were uneventful in the Halliwell manor. Leo still came down every now and then, Paige was still on her temp job, Phoebe had been in Hong Kong for a few days but came back, and Piper went back to her normal routine. Chris never showed up and he wasn't talked about either. Piper hadn't told them about the fight or rather, her yelling at Chris ten days ago in her club and no one know about it.
All three sisters were sitting in the kitchen at noon. They were taking a lunch break and were talking.
"So, have you stayed on the same temp job or did you try something else?" Piper asked Paige.
"I am doing the same job." Paige replied.
"I'm shocked that our sister could keep the same temp job for this long." Phoebe said with a hint of a teasing tone.
"I just haven't found my innocent who needs to be saved yet." Paige stated.
"Are you sure that an innocent needs to be saved there? I mean, what temp job are you doing?" Phoebe asked Paige.
"Pet care and I've just noticed something." Paige stated to her sisters while eating a sandwich that she was holding.
"And that is?" Piper asked.
"In all of my jobs," Phoebe glared at her because she know what she was going to say,"I mean, all of my jobs after I became an active witch, they all involved magic. In the packing temp job, our little blue Gremlin buddies pushed over boxes of fruit. In dog walking, one of my dogs spoke to me and he became a person. What dog turns into a human!?"
When they just looked at her, she continued on with her reasons.
"Then I worked at that one house and guess what! I get stuck in the middle of the feud of two magical families." Paige continued.
"Yeah, so?" Piper asked.
"Do I need to spell it out for you?" Paige asked,"Magic is in all of my jobs!"
"And?" Phoebe asked instead this time.
"Ever since Chris left, nothing happens. I am stuck on the same temp job because there has not been anyone or anything to save. And there hasn't been any demon attacks on the manor."
"Yeah, you have a point there. No demon has attacked the house in a long time." Piper spoke up.
"Where is Chris? I wonder if he's ok." Phoebe asked but got both guilty and angry vibes from Piper,"What happened Piper?"
"Wh...what are you talking about?" Piper tried to make it seem like she didn't know anything.
"You can't hide from an empath, sis." Phoebe stated to Piper,"So spill."
"Alright! Chris and I kinda got into an argument." Piper stated.
"That's not what happened," Phoebe asked while looking at Piper,"You didn't have an argument, did you?"
"No," Piper looked like she regretted what she was going to say next,"I yelled my head off at Chris and kind of threatened to blow him up."
"Why should that be so horrible, I mean, he's just gonna be able to materialize. You've done it to Leo a lot." Phoebe said to Piper.
"Yeah, she has." Came a voice behind all three sisters and they turned to see Leo standing there without his golden elder robe on.
"Hey, Leo." Piper said while not trying to look surprised,"What are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to you three." Leo said then looked at Piper,"Chris is missing."
"What?!" All three sisters shouted out at the same time.
"How do you know he's missing?" Phoebe asked Leo.
"We haven't heard or seen him in ten days, us elders can't sense him, and there's been a lot of talk in world of magic." Leo responded.
"Well maybe he's working with demons." Piper was quick to accuse.
"Now Piper, we don't know if he is working with them-" Leo started but Piper gave him her death glare,"You know that I don't like or trust him anymore then you girls do but he is still a person."
"Why are you here?" Piper asked with some animosity.
"I need your help to find him." Leo told them and know what was coming next.
"No! I'm not helping to find that...that lair." Piper said with disgust.
"Piper, what if he's hurt?" Paige asked Piper before Leo could say anything,"I know you don't like him right now but what if he's seriously hurt."
"So, he can lie his way out of it." Piper stated with no remorse.
"But if he dies," Paige continued,"I know you would be regretting not helping finding him. Have you ever maybe just thought for once, that Chris may be an innocent? Maybe that's why I haven't found my innocent. It's Chris!"
"There's not much that could kill him." Piper stated quickly,"And if anything, Chris is not innocent! He's a demon! He has to be!"
"I'm not so sure." Leo stated then continued,"I really don't think he's full whitelighter."
"Ah ha!" Piper shouted suddenly,"I think he's part demon!"
"Wait, how do you think he's part whitelighter?" Phoebe asked because she had some reasons of how he showed that he was a half-whitelighter.
"Well, when Piper shouted to blow him up-" Leo started but was interrupted.
"I'm still temped." Piper said shortly.
"I not sure if you should do that," At Piper's look, he continued,"I think that since he may not be full whitelighter, that if you blew him up he'd...he'd..."
"He'd what?" Piper asked.
"He'd die." Leo stated sadly.
"Oh my god." Phoebe said with shock,"That's probably some of the reason he hasn't been around anymore."
"Yeah, but I don't think that's all." Paige said then turned to Piper,"What did he do before he orbed away?"
"Nothing that I rem..." Piper started but widened her eyes,"I think he cried."
"There's more to this than meets the eyes." Paige said while squinting her eyes in thought.
"I agree," Leo turned from Paige to all three sisters,"But right now we need to find him."
"Yeah, but how are we going to do that?" Phoebe asked while starting to go to the phone. Picking up the phone and then putting her finger to her lips, she dialed a number into the phone. It began to ring and there was a voice coming from it but no one could hear who it was or what they were saying.
"Hey Elise...Yeah, I know...Sorry, I really can't come in today...I know I was there earlier but...I can just write the column at home and then come by and give it to you...Oh! Thanks. Bye Elise."
Phoebe hung up the phone and started to walk up the stairs to realize that no one was following her. Turning around, she looked at the three people who hadn't moved from where they had been a few minutes before.
"Come on people," Phoebe said then walked up the stairs,"We need to cast that spell we made earlier and I really can't do it alone."
Paige and Piper snapped out of the stated they in and quickly ran up the stairs.
"What did you want me to do?" Leo shouted up to the three sisters.
"You should come up because we have no idea what we going to find. But can you orb Wyatt to Sheila's for a little?" Piper shouted down to him without stopping,"I called her a minute ago and she said it was ok."
"Sure," Leo replied then orbed to Wyatt's room, grabbed him in his arms and before he orbed out, shouted,"I'll be right back!"
All three sisters ran into the attic and soon had all of the candles lit in a star shape.
"It's funny." Paige stated while staring at the candles without really seeing them,"We make the spell and try to use it. But no, he shows up. Now we are going to do it and he will actually have to come."
"Yeah, I know." Phoebe said before the sound of jingles and a blob of orbs touched down to reveal Leo.
"Ok, let's get this show going!" Paige shouted out sort of hyper-happily and the three sisters stood together looking at a piece of paper.
"Wait!" Leo interrupted them,"Wait!"
"I know we don't like him that much," Leo saw the look that Piper gave him,"Especially Piper. But please remember not to harm him right away."
"That also means," Piper was about to open her mouth to say something,"No blowing him up!"
"Fine!" All three said at the same time while Piper gave Leo her death glare.
Leo stepped back and the three went back to their spell.
Power of the whitelighters rise
Course orbing across the skies
Come to us who call you near
Come to us and settle here.
At first nothing seemed to happen.
"Well, that worked real great." Paige retorted sarcastically but didn't move.
"I thought something would have happened." Phoebe said looking around.
"Maybe you need to add the last part where you do that blood summoning." Leo thought out loud as he looked at each of them.
"Yeah, but he's not a witch!" Phoebe stated while looking straight at Leo, "How are we going to do that?"
"You just need to fix the wording so that a whitelighter can come." Leo stated calmly.
"You're the best Leo," Leo looked shocked then became confused, "You always know how to motivate us and make us feel like we can do anything!"
"Thanks." Leo replied with a bit of a blush showing.
"Okay, Paige we need to replace some words in the blood summoning spell so that we don't have to use blood." Looking at Piper, who looked really angry like she was going to blow something up, she grabbed her shoulders, "And you, are going to calm down so that you don't blow up the first thing that walks through the door or shows up from the spell."
Paige orbed a stack of paper and two pens into her hand with a wave of blue orbs and sat on the couch where Piper and Phoebe now sat. Taking the papers and the pens, Paige and Phoebe started changing the spell so that they could get Chris back.
Blood to blood, I summon thee
Blood to blood, return to me
"So if we change this...then change that to this." The two spoke quietly to each other while Piper sat calming down.
"Got it!" Paige shouted after ten minutes and all three got up to cast it.
Whitelighter to witch, I summon thee
Whitelighter to witch, return to we
Nothing happened.
"Maybe it wasn't suppose to happe-" Piper started to say but couldn't finish.
There was a brilliant bright flash of white light that would have blinded everyone if they had not covered and closed their eyes and as soon as it came, it was gone. All of the candles were blown out from the force of the wind that lashed out. It was pitch black without the candles.
"Turn on the lights." Phoebe said and Leo went over to the light switch and flipped on the lights. No one was prepared for what was going to be seen.
In the middle of the star made of candles, laid a now dirty bloody Chris. His clothing were in bad shape, there were holes with burn marks, cuts that had blood on them, and even chunks of fabric were missing. Chris was in worse shape than his clothes. He had numerous small cuts on his arms, legs, and forehead like someone had deliberately put them there with a knife. He had painful-looking bruises on his torso and one on his right cheek where he had been punched more than once. He also had a deep gash on his left side that was bleeding heavily and he was barely breathing.
"Oh my GOD!" Phoebe shouted out when she could talk.
"HEAL HIM!" Piper shouted out to Leo who ran over to Chris and sat down on his knees. Stretching his hands out to Chris' left side, the golden glow came out and began to heal Chris of his wounds.
"Hmm." Leo sighed while still healing Chris.
"What's wrong?" Paige asked Leo while staring at Chris.
"He's been harmed to much to be healed completely," Leo stated and quit trying to heal him after awhile,"He has malnutrition, dehydration, and those cuts aren't new, at least not all of them are."
"What do you mean?" Paige asked Leo.
"It means-" Leo was interrupted.
"That I have been scarred before." Chris answered weakly while everyone else looked at him in surprise.
"What? How?" Phoebe asked with a confused gaze.
"Ah, Au..." Chris taught his slip before anyone noticed,"Phoebe, always the curious one of the group. You want the truth?"
"Hell, yeah we want the truth." Piper said madly.
"Don't blame me if you hear something you don't like." Chris said while trying to sit up,"These scars? Wyatt did them."
"You're lying again!" Piper shouted out while she took a step forward.
"I wish I was," Chris looked at Piper with pained eyes,"But Wyatt did this to me."
"Before you say a damned thing," Piper was about ready to shout at Chris,"Would you please hear me out?"
After nods from everybody in the room, he continued.
"Wyatt did many bad things. He did worse than what he did to me. He exposed magic to the whole damn world so if you weren't caught by Wyatt and his minions then you were slaughtered or sold back to Wyatt by witch hunters, random demons, and even witches and mortals. Friends turned on friends, lovers got broken up, families never existed anymore. I wasn't lying when I said that I never got to know my family. Hell, I had to turn on my best friend because he turned into a power hungry monster who killed his family without any remorse. I was lucky, Wyatt tortured me, he cut these scars on me until they could no longer be healed and tried to get me to join his side." Chris stated quickly.
"Wyatt wasn't always like that. We were best friends and you could even say that we were brothers. Wyatt protected me when I was picked on, did everything with me when my dad abandoned me for his job, and even stood up for me when my dad got angry at me, especially when he got in his 'you're useless'...mode." Chris said with a faraway look.
"Then Wyatt slowly changed for the worse. He became overprotective of 'his' friends and family. He was possessive of people and if those people got hurt then he would punish the people who harmed those people. He became corrupt by power and started to believe that who ever had the most power won." Chris looked at them sadly,"The most powerful witch in the world and he still wanted more power than the world had to offer. He was poisoned, his mind was twisted into believing about power over the good vs evil morals."
"Why didn't someone in the family come back? Or better yet, why didn't one of us come back?" Piper asked what everyone was wondering.
"I was the only one." Chris said shortly.
"Someone in the family should have been sent." Piper stated while looking around the room.
"I was the only one!" Chris shouted angrily with a temper that matched Piper's,"When will you get it though your thick heads? I was the only one! I was the only one who even CARED! Everyone else wanted to kill him! You know what?"
Before anyone could open their mouths, he continued with tears collected in his eyes.
"Everyone else in the family died! Everyone else!" Chris shouted at them while pacing the floor in circles,"The whole family died! And I was with them when it happened! The Charmed Ones murdered like sitting ducks and the rest of the family went into hiding! But they were all found and killed in more painful ways then you could ever imagine! Imagine! Imagine a little girl just five not only getting her neck snapped in half but she was beaten until he finally murdered her! And I couldn't do anything! I couldn't heal! I couldn't stop him! He destroyed MY family, the only people I cared about in the whole world and he murdered them!"
"Then why did you come only to save him?" Leo asked with suspicion.
"He once was good. He's meant to be good. It's the only way to save the future, millions of innocents, and to safe your first and second children." Chris said while looking at Piper.
"I only have one kid, mister." Piper stated then everyone looked at her stomach area that had a bump.
"Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, noooo! That's not possible! It can't be possible! I know that it is possible but it can't happen." Piper replied in a panic.
"You don't want him." Chris said with some disappointment.
"No...What!?" Piper looked up to Chris quickly,"No, I want him and will always love him as if he were my first born. It's just that how will I raise him on my own if I can't take care of Wyatt? He turns evil and it's all my fault! I'm such a terrible mother!"
"WHAT!?" Chris asked loudly in surprise,"You're never going to be a terrible mother! You raise your children the right way, it's just that Wyatt turns because he gets kidnapped before your second son is born."
"So you...wait..." Paige looked at Chris in suspicion,"You said that it was a boy."
"Yeah, it's a boy." Chris looked at Leo angrily,"Leo, once he is born you have to quit being an elder or everything will fall apart like it did this time."
"Quit telling me what to do!" Leo stated with a low voice,"Why do you even care?"
"Why do I care?" Chris started to get angrier," WHY DO I CARE?! I care because the world is going to be hell if Wyatt turns again and I don't want the second kid to have to deal with the pain of losing everyone and everything. I don't wanna deal with that again. I won't. If you had just bound Wyatt's powers like I had tried to get you to then maybe none of this would have to happen. And you know what Leo?! You never gave a damn about me when I came here from the future so why would you care about your second 'mistake'? You are so worried about Wyatt being evil that you never could see the truth even if it hit you in the face. You pin every little thing that goes wrong on me whether you have proof or not! But to you, your golden boy and your job is more important than your own second son ever will be."
"He isn't a mistake Chris!" Leo shouted out at Chris.
"Oh really?" Chris stated while looking at him angrily, "Funny, but you always thought so. You never cared. You saw Wyatt all the time but guess what? In all his life, he only saw you for about two minutes. 'Why can't you stop being such a mistake?' or 'Your useless. If you were half the person Wyatt is...' then he would be evil too."
"You need to be there for him. No crap about how you have elder responsibilities or any other thing. You were never there for him when he was growing up! You were there for Piper, Wyatt, and half of the world but never for him! You never had the time." Chris stated while looking at the floor sadly.
Everyone stood still in complete shock of what had just happened.
"Maybe you came not only to save Wyatt but to save him." Leo said while looking at Piper.
"I doubt it." Chris said with tears coming down his face that no one noticed.
"And Piper, don't blame yourself because I can just keep telling you that it's not your fault!" Chris stated while looking straight at Piper, "You are the best mother ever! You loved your boys and would have done anything to save them. And even though Wyatt had you both and your second son didn't have his dad, you made up for it. You were always there when he got even as much as a scratch, you sang to him every time that there had been a demon attack that scared him, and you always let him help you in the kitchen. Even if Leo was never there for him, you were. For both of them."
"And you two," Paige was about to open her mouth, "Were the best aunts that anyone could ask for. Paige, you helped raise them when Piper was...uh...busy. You loved them as if they were you're own children. You're the one who taught them how to be sarcastic and just how to have fun. And most important, you taught them that saving innocents was important, sometimes I think you trained it in their heads a little to much."
Paige smiled at that.
"Phoebe," Chris turned to Phoebe, "You always knew how to give the best advice. Both of them came to you when they had problems whether it was because of a demon issue or just little things like a girlfriend. You taught them how to fight without their magic even though they had plenty of magical abilities. You taught them not to judge someone before you know them and the second son gets his spell creative mind from you."
"Piper," Chris looked at her with longing in his eyes, "You taught them how to be confident, to protect people, and that family is most important. Your second son learned how to cook very well from you and people always said that he looked almost like a copy of you but one major detail."
"What detail?" Piper asked when Chris stopped.
"He has his dad's..." Chris stopped while beginning to wish that he hadn't said anything, "Eyes. The same color and everything."
"How is that a bad thing?" Leo questioned out loud.
"Because everyone always told him that when they looked into his eyes, he reminded them of Leo." Chris looked down at the floor, "And since Leo was never there, he promised that he would never be like his dad."
"Wyatt gets Leo's looks and most of his traits while your second son gets most of Piper's looks and traits." Chris stated with a smile on his face, "Including her temper and neurosis but he gets his calming atmosphere from Leo."
"And why are you telling us this now?" Phoebe asked curiously trying to get him to talk more or at least let his walls down so that she could feel his emotions.
"Because I can't deal with it much longer." Chris said with a haunted angry look that made everyone think 'those eyes look so familiar'," I have the weight of the world on my shoulders and if I fail then I'm going to let millions of people down even as I sort of regret saying but even demons. I came to the future to stop Wyatt from turning evil. I knew that you wouldn't trust me when I arrived, I knew you would probably think I was evil but I didn't expect you to openly hate me!"
"That's not true Chris." Paige looked at him with glossy eyes,"We don't hate you!"
"I think you do." Chris looked away from everyone to the BOS,"All that has happened since I got here is bad things. First, you guys think that I'm a threat then you think that I'm just an annoying little kid who knows nothing of what he's doing, which by the way, I do. Why do you think I keep telling you 'future consequences' huh? You should know the things that could happen with time travel, especially you Leo. Then because I happen to tell you the truth, the one thing that I have never done since I got here, you don't want to hear it.'
Everyone looked down in shame and Chris looked at them.
"I've dealt with your anger, threats, and hurtful actions," Chris looked straight at Leo with anger glittering in his eyes,"And I'm sorry that I can't tell you my identity. But that gives you no right to treat like you have. I mean I've seen and heard of you guys treating demons better than me! I'm not going to tell you, but you guys will regret everything if you find out my identity so can't let you. I won't hurt you like that."
"We're sorry Chris." Phoebe stated sadly while lifting her gaze from the floor.
"It doesn't matter." Chris said avid of any emotion which make everyone become startled,"Wyatt comes first, he always will and I accept that."
"You matter too Chris!" Leo spoke with surprise in his voice,"Don't drag yourself down."
"Funny," Chris said without any emotion but Phoebe felt a tinge bit of deep loathing, excruciating pain, and a hidden seed of love,"Why would I matter if your second son never was anything to you?"
"Because...what are you doing?" Piper asked when she saw him go closer to the book and was flipping the pages.
"Love potion...nah..." Chris stated like he hadn't heard her and continued flipping the pages,"Time spell...no...Got it!"
"What?" Piper looked at him.
"I'm sorry but I have to erase this memory." Chris looked at the floor,"I told you to much when I said that Wyatt turns evil."
"You might erase our whole memories though." Piper glared at Paige and Chris gave her the same look 'we are still mad at you for that',"You wouldn't want that to happen, now would you?"
"I'll do it because you know way to much!" Chris stated while taking a few steps closer to them.
"Freeze him!" Paige shouted at Piper, who waved her hands in the air.
While they expected him to freeze like their everyday average human or demon, he just stopped walking towards them but didn't freeze.
"That's not possible unless your..." Phoebe stated with wide eyes while she couldn't get the chance to continue.
"What?" Chris looked at her with a bored look painted across his face," Unless I'm part witch?"
Everyone gasped and were so quiet that you would have heard a pen land on carpet. They were so stunned that they couldn't even register any words to say much less what exactly to feel at the moment.
"Yeah, that's right. I'm half witch and half whitelighter..." Chris turned to a slowly digesting Paige," Just like you Paige."
"What...why...huh...wha..." Piper was so confused but she quickly began to become angry," You lied to us again!"
"I'm sorry." Chris said his famous two words of the week without much emotion," I thought it would give my identity away and you wouldn't help me once you found out that I'm a witchlighter."
"Yeah we would hav..." Leo got curious," What's a witchlighter?"
"Leo, Leo, Leo." Chris said while shaking his head like his was disappointed at a little kid," I'm sure you would have figured it out by now but then again, it took you forever to just realize that I really sent you to Valhalla...for good purposes, of course."
"So it was you?!" Leo shouted angrily," I know it! You sent me to there for weeks!"
"So?" Was all Chris asked with a bit of amusement in his voice.
"I had to fight for my life!" Leo took a huge step towards Chris, who didn't back down to the intimidating elder.
"Will you just get over yourself?" Chris stated with a hate filled look that could have made a demon want to vanquish itself to hell," Everything's all about you! You were going to kill me! You messed up my life! You ruined my marriage! You're trying to murder my son! Well, I needed you for later...and if it has to deal with anything other than getting your second son conceived, then you are messed up majorly! I didn't ruin your life because was I the one who left his loving family to become a snotty high freaking elder? No! You choose that! And murder your son? How serious are you? I never hurt nor will I ever purposely bring any kind of harm to him whether it be magical or physical or even emotionally. He's to important to the world and to m...certain people."
"Chris-" Paige started to walk forward to grab his arm but he pulled back from her grip.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Chris shouted at all of them," In my future, all you do is fight for your life! So BACK OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Everyone stepped back a few steps even Piper who had a very bad temper at certain times. Phoebe suddenly gasped loudly before she feel to the floor on her side crying like there was no tomorrow. She grabbed her head and soon was rocking back and forth like a scared little child who just kept seeing horrible things in her mind. Chris quickly walked to the furthest point he could in the attic and put up his emotion walls again. As soon as it came, it left and Phoebe slowly got up from the floor as if none of it had happened.
"What did you do to her!?" Piper shouted angrily at him while putting her hands up in her blowing up position.
"Why is it me you blame first!?" Chris shouted out in frustration and everything that was in the attic began to levitate. Books, paper, pencils, potion vials, ingredients, and vases filled with plants were lifted up slowly. Soon everything was whirling around the room like a tornado of objects that everyone luckily was able to avoid. Barely.
"Wow-" Paige was busy watching in amazement so she barely escaped a sharp anthame that was flung straight at her lower face," Aahhhh!"
"Why is it me that you blame first?!" Chris shouted angrily in the roar of the wind of the objects flying around.
"Calm down Chris!" Phoebe tried to shout in a peaceful voice.
"Why...why...why do you guys blame me for everything?" Chris asked in a lost grieving voice before he fell to the floor and rocked back and forth like Phoebe had just done awhile ago. The objects flying around slowly began to lessen their pace before they all dropped onto the ground with a clatter and some shatters.
"Oh, Chris." Paige walked over to him again but this time he didn't even notice her until she was by his side. She quickly grabbed him into a deep hug before he could protest against what she was doing. She held him there for a few minutes while rubbing circles on his back.
"Chris, let it out." Chris looked up at her with glistening eyes and Paige's heart broke," Just let it all out."
At first Chris didn't do anything but soon was crying his life's troubles out on Paige's blouse. That's when everyone in the room realized that he was just a very young man that had more stress to deal with than anyone should ever have in even twenty life-times magical or not. Piper and Phoebe gently helped Paige pick up Chris, who had fallen asleep at that point from crying so much.
"I can take him if you want." Leo started to grab him only to be pushed away gently by Piper.
"No, we got him. Besides," Piper looked at him sadly and tears threatened to fall from her brown eyes," He doesn't weight enough. Leo, he feels like a bag of flour. Oh Leo, what did we do wrong? Why didn't we see it! His clothes don't even fit him like they should."
"It's okay." Leo looked at Chris sadly while trying to reassure her," We'll help him now. We'll make sure that he eats and gets some well deserved sleep."
At that sentence, Chris moaned in his sleep and moved his face onto Piper's chest before he settled down in peace again. Everyone looked at him sadly with tears slipping unnoticed down their cheeks and walked down the stairs.
"Where are we putting him?" Piper asked quietly when they got to the rooms.
"He can stay in my room," Paige said quickly while grabbing something's that lay in her room," I can stay with Phoebe tonight."
"Okay." Piper replied shortly while she laid Chris on the bed and the two walked out. Pealing back the blankets, she started to take Chris' shoes off when she was stopped.
"Mom." Chris mumbled in his sleep and Piper quit what she was doing for a few minutes. Chris grew restless as if in a nightmare.
"Mom...mom..." He mumbled in panic before he started thrashing about on the bed," Mom...MOM...NO...GET AWAY FROM HER!"
Piper's heart broke at every word that came out of his nightmarish dream.
"DON'T EVEN TOUCH HER...LEAVE...MOM..." Chris shouted out in pain filled gasps," MOM...DAD...GOD DAMNIT, DAD...MOM NEEDS YOU!"
Piper felt so guilty and saddened by what she was seeing from her witchlighter.
"DAD, I REALLY NEED YOU!" Chris cried in despair," I KNOW YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME, BUT MOM REALLY NEEDS YOU!"
Piper gently gripped his shoulders and began to shake Chris in hopes of waking him up.
"DAD!" Chris shouted with a tinge of anger," LEO! GET YOUR ELDER ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW! MY MOM NEEDS YOU!"
Piper shook him faster but he had yet to even lower his voice.
"LEO! PLEASE!" Chris started to cry in his sleep," WYATT! WYATT! MOM NEEDS YOUR HELP!"
Piper started to get really worried that he would be stuck in his own personal hell of a world in his head.
"DAD! LEO! LEO!" Chris shouted and a book fell from the shelf in the room," PLEASE! ANYONE! PLEASE! Please...please."
Piper did the only thing she could think of to do to stop his dreams. She jumped onto the bed and pulled him into a tight hug so that his head was once again on her chest.
"Please...pleas-" Chris' eyelids suddenly flipped open to reveal brilliant jade gems. He quickly tried to get up out of the bed but Piper shoved him into the bed.
"You're staying here for the night so go to sleep sweetie." Piper spoke softly.
"Pip...Pip...Piper?" Chris asked in a dazed voice.
"Yes, I'm here." Piper felt so sad at the look on his face.
"I'm tired...so tired." Chris started to close his twinkling eyes slowly.
"Just go back to sleep." At Chris' pause, she continued," I'll be here when you wake up."
Chris finally closed his eyes fully and Piper finished tucking him into the blankets before going to the door to turn off the light. Looking back, she saw that he was in restful sleep without the dreams that he was having and she smiled slightly. Before she left, she had to say something.
"Good night, Peanut."
