Disclaimer for all chapters: I don´t own charmed – I never will – unfortunately. This is so sad... Well and I don´t get paid for the writing, that´s also important.
A/N: Please be kind. I am not very good at English as it is not my first language. As
many of you already know...
I was inspired by some awesome Supernatural fanfictions and some other
awesome charmed fanstories. Please tell me if you feel offended in any kind of
way. I try to make my own story but with so many already existing stories it is
difficult to write something new without taking stuff of others...
Probably some time after “Little Monsters”
Genre: Angst
Summary: Chris Perry has a difficult job to do: He must save his big brother. Only
problems:
1. His brother is already evil.
2. Chris went back in time to change that fact.
3. He has difficulties to find THE threat that turns his brother into a bad
guy.
4. Chris stays at his “home”.
5. Unfortunately his family doesn´t know him – yet.
6. They hate him.
7. And Chris has no clue how to makes things better.
8. There is something coming towards him that will make things complicated.
9. Chris is now in the middle of BIG troubles involving illness,
weakness, a lot of emotions...
A few weeks after the incident in Wyatt´s nursery Chris finds himself yet again in trouble. His family avoids him whenever possible. Therefore he gets depressed and does a lot of things completely wrong. Now he finds himself in even worse trouble. Meeting the false guys could mean your end...
No such things as mercy if you are a Halliwell

Chapter 1: Trouble begins
It was there again. This pounding headache.
Last time he had it was after the incident in Wyatt´s nursery a couple of weeks ago.
(Here we go: Sequel to “A night in Chris Perry’s life")
He never thought that a few nights without sleep could weaken him this much. But he hadn´t time for this. Right now he needed a spell.
And that was why he was in the attic. Again.
It was a nightly ritual: Go check the book. Look for the spell. Cast it. Then go in the demonic bar without worrying about troubles.
It could have been this easy to receive information from ugly demons.
It could.
But he had never had an easy life in the past since he came here.
And therefore he was in trouble. Again
Not only that the demons wouldn´t talk voluntarily. No they would ask him questions.
Great. Just great.
Ever since his first time in the bar everything went wrong:
Flashback...
He orbed down. Frustrated yet again. His mother treated him like shit. She showed no respect to him although he was her whitelighter.
Well he shouldn´t have gone there in his current mood:
...Chris was down in the underworld. Fortunately no one had seen him orbing. And his spell made sure that he couldn´t be identified as a whitelighter.
Now he walked in the bar. He needed a drink.
His mom gave him a very hard time. And his aunts too.
He hadn´t done anything wrong. Well, yes, he shouldn´t have put Leo in Valhalla. And yes, he shouldn´t have employed Gith. And he shouldn´t ... Ah, he sounded like his mom and dad.
What´s done is done. And after all. It was for Wyatt´s sake. But nobody seemed to understand that.
Now he sat at the bar and had a big beer in front of him. Normally he wouldn´t have drunk an alcoholic drink. Never. He was on a mission and this mission was too important to be faced too easily. But not today. Today he was frustrated.
“How could she keep a demon in the playpen? How could she?” he muttered.
“Escuse meee” a demon next to him babbled “Whadd´ou sssay?”
“Nothing,” Chris replied.
“Yoooo lookkk way tooo nicccce too beee heerree”
“Yeah I think so.”
“Whhhyyyyy arrre yooo hereee?Whhattts yourrr problemm? Wittchhes?”
“Yeah exactly,” he said before he realized what he had done.
“I knowww theyyy caaan beeeee veryy annoyyinggg. Doo yoo neeed heelpp vanquishingg themm?”
“No I can handle them,” he answered too quickly.
Great. What have you done now?
“Don´tt bee soo shyy. I caaan heelp. I knoww a lott of demonnns. Weee caaan helpp yoo!” and with that he drank a lot of his beer. “Yoo shouldd drink itt helpps”
He pointed towards Chris´ beer that was only half empty.
Chris looked from the demon to the beer and sighed.
Maybe I could take a little time off. Maybe.
He grabbed his beer and drank a bit.
“That´ssss a gooood bbboyy!” the demon grinned and sat down next to him.
“Whatt´sss youuur nammme? I havven´tt seennn yooo aroundd befforre!”
Shit. There we go. A demon who wants friendship. Or a dinner. Well... just play along... You can vanquish him later...
“I´m Matt.”
“Yeah, I´mmm oold Jooo. Nice´t meet´yoo!” He offered his hand.
Chris shook it. Well, that was new.
“Sooo coouldd yoo neeeed a helppp´ handdd?”
Now or never. Wait what did he say? He knows a lot of demons. Yeah, great. Maybe he could use him for information. And he doesn´t look too strong. So why not risk it?
“Well...”
End of flashback...
Chris never understood why he did this. He spent way too much time down there.
He drank a lot of beer and met a lot of Jo´s friends or howsoever you would call them. Fortunately they were not too powerful to handle if something went wrong.
But the worst part of it was that his charges – the sisters – didn´t even notice his absence. They pretended that they didn´t need him that much and they always said he should lay low. Great.
Therefore Chris was in the bar.
But not only this night.
He was there the next night. And the following. And...
All the while he thought he would receive useful information but instead he only met new demons and had more and more to drink and less time to sleep.
And there was the next problem: No sleep.
But yet again, the sisters didn´t even notice his presence. They couldn´t see him suffering. (If you could count going to a bar as suffering). They said they needed more of their private lives. Great – again!
So he researched on his own in this bar. He got a lot of names of demons but none seemed to be THE threat.
And he hated to admit it. But the time down there was great. He enjoyed it more than the sisters´ behavior towards him. Although they were his family, he preferred going out with demons. If only his Piper knew...
But she was dead. She ... Not now! No time for painful memories.
He had a job to do: Save Wyatt!
Yeah there was the spell he needed. A cloak spell for his blue orbs. Great.
He casted it and sighed.
Another long, long night laid ahead.
Maybe he should change tactic... No... Not now.
And with that he orbed down to the underworld...
Piper Halliwell was in her kitchen. Her sister Paige sat next to her at the table.
Piper fed her son Wyatt and Paige read the newspaper.
“Did you know that Phoebe and her column is on the first place again?” Paige asked
“Really? No I didn´t know! Here we go Wyatt!” Piper replied and put a spoon in Wyatt´s open mouth.
The little boy squeaked.
“Do you know where Chris is? I haven´t seen him lately,” Paige asked.
“No, why do you ask?” Piper wondered.
“Oh it´s just... er nothing.”
“Paige?”
“Okay well I wanted to ask him something.”
“Something, in something about the future?”
“No!”
“So what else if not that?”
“Piper! I wanted to ask him a few questions.”
“About what? Spill it lady!”
“Okay but don´t be mad.”
“Paige!”
“I want to know a few things about withlighter things”
“That´s it?”
“Yeah that´s it”
“Why the big drama?”
“Well with all the Leo absence.. I don´t want you to have painful memories.”
“That´s sweet Paige but I´m okay.”
“Good, if you say so. So do you know where Chris is?”
“No, maybe he´s in the attic.”
“No I already checked that. And he is also not at P3”
“Are you worrying? Maybe he is in the underworld.”
“Maybe. But I called him and he didn´t come.”
“Hm. Should I call him?”
“Yeah give it a try.”
“Okay. Chris? ... Chrrrrrrrisssss? ... Chris come right here!”
“See? I told you something isn´t right.”
“Okay, that´s not normal. When did you see him last time Paige?”
“Er...well... I dunno.”
“What you don´t know? Try to remember!”
“Piper – when did you see him last time?”
“Yesterday...”
“And what did he do?”
“Well, ... I dunno.”
“Piper are you sure that you saw him yesterday?!”
“No,” Piper admitted.
“Okay that´s weird. He should stand here and give us a lecture about danger and demons. There is something very wrong. You keep trying to call him. I call Phoebe!” Paige declared and stormed to the phone.
“Chris can you hear me? Chris?” Piper shouted to the ceiling. Wyatt sat nearby and squeaked happily. He didn´t notice the tension in the air.
As he looked around him, he began to worry.
The last thought he had before darkness claimed him again was: “Where the hell am I??”
