Disclaimer: I don’t own Charmed and make no money out of this.
“Wonder about what?” Piper asked not really interesting but asked anyway. Her thoughts were on her baby boy Wyatt and the possible threat this demon was to him. Thankfully he was Up There with Leo until they vanquished it.
“What happened to Chris in the future”, Paige said and got the attention from her other sister.
“I think it’s pretty obvious what happened”, Phoebe said, “Bianca was killed.”
“Yes, but was she really?” Paige asked and this time got Pipers full attention, “I mean Chris just said that she was no threat no more, but if she was killed then who did it and who wants Chris so bad that they sent an assassin?”
“You know, he never did say anything about that”, Piper said thoughtfully. She was suspicious of their very neurotic Whitelighter and had been since he came to them, back with the whole Titan ordeal. That he was manipulating and lying a lot did not help his case.
“Yes, but guys…” Phoebe said, “… If he did lose Bianca that’s probably not something he wants to talk about.” She knew how it was to have someone you love die and from those stray feelings she picked up when he was unconscious Chris did love Bianca a lot.
“But we deserves to know”, Piper said upset that her sister defends Chris.
“Piper, what if he’s the one who had to kill her? Would you share something like that?” Phoebe tried, “or maybe the one who sent her killed her. What would you do then?” Phoebe became agitated because she actually understood Chris from her own relationship with Cole.
“We should try and see”, Paige said.
“What?” her two sisters asked.
“A spell or something”, Paige explained, “if what you said is true, then to try and help. And can you honestly say that you’re not curious?” Paige nodded in satisfaction when none of her sisters did.
“Phoebe, can you write the spell?” Paige asked since Phoebe was the best spell writer of the three. Phoebe took a pen and paper reluctant, she still didn’t like the breech in their Whitelighter’s privet life.
After five minutes the spell was finished and the sisters gathered around and read it out loud:
The last memory we need to see
From the life Chris had to flee
Show to us and reveal
Show us all without conceal
The air started shimmer and soon they found themselves back in the attic. A very different looking attic. They stood by the side and saw everything that was about to happen to Chris as the memory started.
The triquetra on the wall started to glow of blue and white energy. They saw Chris and Bianca step out and were met by six demons dressed in gray. Neither of them showed any fear. For a moment it looked like a fight was about to break out when a voice from the shadows spoke.
“Welcome home Chris.”
The demons parted and a man with long curly blond hair and blue eyes walked forward. Now Bianca looked frightened while Chris looked the same. The three sisters wondered who this man was and they got the answer from Chris.
“Hello, Wyatt.”
“It can’t be,” Piper whispered in shock.
“Oh my god! Wyatt!” Phoebe said just as shocked.
“Why is he there with demons?” Paige wondered. Piper was afraid of the answer.
Wyatt walked over the creaky floorboard through the path the demons made and closer to Chris and Bianca. He stopped and inspected them. Phoebe saw the tears in Chris eyes and told her sisters. It wasn’t tears of fright but something else.
“They’re no threat to me,” Wyatt told his demons still facing Chris and Bianca. The demons made small bows and shimmered out.
“Is Wyatt…evil?” Phoebe asked.
“No, I refuse to believe that,” Piper said. But she knew she couldn’t explain what she just saw if he was not.
“Et Tu, Chris?” Wyatt said and turned around and started walking away, “Of all the people to betray me”
“I didn’t go back to betray you, Wyatt. I went back to save you,” Chris tried to convince him. Wyatt turned sharply.
“Save me,” Wyatt sounded confused but looked amused, “ha, from what?” he asked with mockery.
“From whatever evil it was that turned you,” Chris replied.
“I don’t understand,” Phoebe said, “Chris, said he went back to protect Wyatt.”
“Another lie,” Piper said bitterly.
“Ssh,” Paige hushed them.
“That’s always been your problem, Chris,” Wyatt said and looked down at the Book of Shadows, “Stuck in the old good-versus-evil morass,” he looked at Chris, “I’m so past that. It’s all about power. It’s as simple as that.”
“How did I raise my son?” Piper asked with tears running down her face. Phoebe and Paige tried to comfort her while watching the scene.
“And whoever has the most power wins. Is that it?” Chris asked.
“That’s it,” Wyatt said sharply, and then a little softer, “That’s why I keep this… museum intact. To remind everyone the power from which I was born and that which I possess.”
“Too bad the rest of the city isn't faring as well as your little shrine here,” Chris said and stepped forward. Wyatt did the same, towards Chris, and said, “You know, if anyone else tried what you tried, I’d kill them on the spot. But you…” Wyatt’s gaze fell on Bianca, “I’ve forgiven Bianca. I can forgive you, too, if you promise never to cross me again.”
“Ok, what’s so special about Chris that Wyatt just don’t kill him,” Paige asked.
“What? You think my son should go around killing people?” Piper asked angrily.
“You know that’s not what I meant.” They turned back to Chris just as he answered.
“I think you know me better then that.”
Wyatt looked once again at Bianca, “I thought you said could talk some sense into him.” Bianca rushed forward and tried to say something but Chris beat her to it.
“Leave her out of this.”
Angrily Wyatt raises his left hand and makes a fist, cutting of Chris air supply. Chris started to choke and sinks down on his knees. He has both of his hands on his throat gasping for air.
“Pardon me?” Wyatt says calmly. He makes a slicing motion with his hand and throws Chris into the wall. He does it again and Chris crashes into a table right next to where the sisters stood.
Bianca walked angrily towards Wyatt, “You promised you wouldn’t hurt him!”
Wyatt hadn’t turned his gaze away from Chris on the floor the whole time, “And you promised you’d turn him, just like I turned you. At least I thought I had.”
Bianca ran over to Chris, tears falling down her face as she sat down next to him, “Chris… Please. I didn’t bring you here to die.”
“I guess she still loves him,” Phoebe said quietly.
“She’s evil,” Piper disagreed.
“So was Cole,” Phoebe reminded her.
Chris looked at Bianca, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing…” he tried to calm her. He watched Wyatt who stood over the creaky floorboard once again. “…I think.” He got up and with a yell ran towards Wyatt, who easily pushed him aside.
“Have you lost your mind?” he asked. Chris couldn’t do anything then looked up at him. Wyatt raises his right hand and lifts Chris up telekinetically and forms it as a fist chocking Chris at the same time. Wyatt then raises his left hand and forms an energy ball.
Terrified for Chris life Bianca gets up and attack Wyatt from behind putting her right hand in his back, paralyzing him. Wyatt losses his focus and drop Chris on the floor.
“Whatever you’re gonna do, do it fast,” Bianca tells Chris, “I can’t hold him for long.”
Chris quickly rush over to the lose floorboard.
“The Spell,” Phoebe remembers.
He takes the board away and reaches in for the paper. He unfolds it and starts chanting.
Power of witches rise
Come to me from across the skies.
Return my magic, give me back
All that was taken from the attack!
When he finished he started glowing blue and white.
“It worked,” Phoebe exclaimed happily.
“We already knew it worked, Phoebe,” Paige said.
At that moment Wyatt managed to free him self and bends over kicking back. He hits Bianca and makes her fly right at a broken table leg that impales her. Chris sees this and gets up with a, “NOO!” and throws his hand towards Wyatt and make him fly back upward right on a chandelier. Wyatt falls on the floor unconscious and Chris runs over to Bianca.
“Oh My God!” Phoebe cries.
“So that’s what happened,” Paige says with tears running down her face.
Bianca is panting, trying to make the pain go away. “Bianca! No. No. No” Chris says as he kneels down beside her.
Bianca smiles, “Haven’t we been here before?”
Chris laugh a little at her joke but says sadly, “Maybe we will be again.”
“Maybe,” Bianca agrees.
Chris puts his head on her shoulder and sobs quietly, “No,” he managed to get out.
With great difficulty Bianca takes Chris hand and puts the ring in it, “If you can finish what we started…” Chris looks at the ring and understands what she means.
On the other side Wyatt starts to wake up. Bianca can’t see him but hears. “Hurry,” she says, “Take the spell so he can’t sent someone else,” she instructs. Chris hesitates and with a painful breath she urge, “Go!” Chris gets up and runs to the Book o Shadows.
Wyatt is now on his knees and sees Chris at the Book. He slowly gets up as Chris starts chanting again.
“Hear these words. Hear the rhyme. Heed the hope within my mind,” he managed to duck an energy ball from Wyatt.
“Come on Chris, hurry,” Paige says even though she already knows the outcome.
Chris continues with the spell, “Sent me back to where I’ll find what I wish in place and time.”
Taking the paper from the Book, Chris runs towards the now glowing triquetra and dives in, barley missing another energy ball Wyatt threw at him with a yell.
At that moment the air starts shimmering again and the Charmed Ones found themselves in the attic in their own time. They all had tears falling down and Piper was in shock after seeing her sweet baby like that.
“What kind of mother raises a monster like that?” she asks.
“Oh, sweetie,” Phoebe says putting an arm around her older sister, “You didn’t do anything wrong. You heard what Chris said, he went back in time to stop whatever is going to turn Wyatt to what he was.”
“But still, shouldn’t I be able to do something, where was I anyway and you?” she asks. Phoebe and Paige didn’t know.
At that moment Leo orbed in.
“How’s it going?” he asked, and then he saw their faces, “What’s wrong?”
“I think I’m going to lie down. Can you explain to him?” Piper asked as she got up. Her sisters nodded and she walked out from the attic.
“Well? What is wrong?” Leo asked again.
Paige sighs and sat down, “Well, it started with a spell that would let us see the last memory…” It took them thirty minutes to explain everything to Leo and when they were done he sat in shock. The two sisters smiled sadly to him. They knew how he felt, and he didn’t even have to see it. They walked out and left him to sort it out on his own but each wondered why it was Chris who came to the past and not one of them. Why was Chris so special?
But ignore it and review, ok?
Bye
