My second attempt at a Chris Revelation fic. I don’t own Charmed. If I did, Chris would have come back from the dead, Gideon would have died a much more painful death and Harry Potter would be adopted by Piper and Leo…although I do have a story where he actually does get adopted by Piper and Leo so feel free to read it, it’s not as bad as it sounds.

C . H . A . R . M . E . D

The attic of the Halliwell Manor was silent; Gideon had orbed out with Wyatt long ago. The only two left in the room were Leo Wyatt and Chris Perry but neither of them were in the mood to talk.

Chris lay on the floor, his head resting on a jacket that Leo had rolled up and used as a pillow. There was a gaping wound on his chest that had caused a large blood stain to appear on his shirt.

Leo sat next to him, his arms outstretched, trying to heal the wound. He said nothing, just concentrated on getting the young Witchlighter back to full health.

Chris let out an agonizing breath and pushed his hand away.

“It won’t work.” He rasped. “Gideon’s magic did this to me, only he can undo it. Just go save Wyatt.”

The Elder looked at the man he had spent the last year attempting to bust. He had been so sure that Chris Perry was evil; that the only thing he wanted was Wyatt dead, and yet here he was, painfully drawing his last breaths after trying to save Wyatt. After all the accusations, all the insults, all the mistrust that Leo and the sisters had shown him, Chris still stayed to save the toddler.

“I’m sorry.” Leo whispered. “We should have trusted you.”

Chris started to laugh, but stopped immediately when his body racked with coughs. As his splutters died down, silence fell again until he spoke again.

“Just go save Wyatt.” He repeated. “I don’t matter any more, not if Wyatt still turns evil; if he turns, future me is gonna come back again and history will keep repeating itself in a time loop. You have to change it.”

“I can’t just let you die Chris, I owe you.”

“I said I don’t matter any more!” Chris yelled in burst of anger before gasping and bringing his hand to his chest. His voice softened as he continued.

“Today’s my birthday. I’m gonna be born in a few hours and I’ll be alive anyway. We’ll meet again in the future, sooner than you think; I just won’t remember coming to… the… past.”

Chris’s last two words were coughed out as his eyes closed and his shallow breaths stopped. The hand that was clasping his wound fell limply to the floor and his head rolled to the side.

Leo looked at the dead body on the floor of the attic. In the last few minutes of his life, Chris Perry’s eyes had held more emotion than they had in the entire time he had known him. Those green orbs showed fear, pain, hope, desire, and above all, success.

“Thank you.” He said.

Blue and white lights filled the room as the Elder orbed out to find his son.

“Hey little buddy, how’s my youngest nephew?” Phoebe cooed over Piper’s new born baby.

The Phoebe and Paige stood crowded around the hospital bed that Piper sat on, holding her youngest son in her arms.

“He’s beautiful.” Paige said, smiling at the baby boy.

Piper smiled up at her sisters. “I wish Leo was here to see this.” Her smile faltered a little, but returned when she looked back at her son. “God I hope he’s okay.” She turned to Paige. “Where is he?”

Normally Paige would have snapped at her sister for asking the same question three times, but she too was worried about her eldest nephew and brother in law.

“I told you, I don’t know. He came and broke the spell we were under, then left. He didn’t tell us where he was going.”

Their conversation was cut off as Leo orbed in holding Wyatt who was clinging to his neck.

“Leo! Where’ve you been?” Phoebe asked. “You have another son, he’s so adorable, he has you eyes, and Pipers nose, but seriously, I have no idea who’s mouth he has cause it isn’t your’s or Pipers…”

She stopped rattling as she noticed how dirty he looked.

“Have you been in the underworld?” she asked suspiciously.

Paige shushed her as a doctor nearby cast a glance over at them.

“Gideon took Wyatt. But don’t worry, He’s gone and the world is back to normal.”

“Yea, we noticed.” Paige rolled her eyes sarcastically

Piper’s eyes narrowed. “I thought Chris was Watching Wyatt… he was evil the whole time wasn’t he! I bet he was working with Gideon, that evil bast…”

She would have continued her rant if Leo hadn’t cut her off.

“No Piper, Chris is dead. Gideon killed him when he refused to had Wyatt over. Chris was on our side all along.

Piper’s mouth closed, opened and repeated the process before Paige pointed out that she looked like a fish.

Seeing that her sisters were too shocked to say anything Phoebe asked the question on everyone’s minds.

“Chris died for Wyatt?”

“Yes.”

There was a pregnant pause before Piper looked back at her youngest son.

“Then that settles it.” Her voice was soft and loving. “Wyatt, this is your little brother, Christopher Perry Halliwell.”

Wyatt giggled and held his arms out, struggling to get out of his father’s grasp and onto the bed to get a good look at the newest member of the family.

A small laugh escaped Piper as her husband set her eldest son down next to the baby.

“You’re naming the baby after Chris?” Paige looked sceptical, but understanding.

Leo smiled. “I think it suits him. Besides, the real Chris Perry obviously knows Wyatt in the future, I’d like to see how he reacts to finding out that he’s our son’s namesake.”

Silence fell before Phoebe broke it. “Christopher Perry Halliwell it is.”

(15 years later)

“Here he is. Khata; The demon of dreams. Makes your nightmares come to life, feeds off your panic, yada yada yada, pretty much sounds like Barbas except he likes dreams, not fears.” Piper rattled off, reading aloud from the Book of Shadows.

Her husband, sisters and two sons sat around her, Chris lay on the sofa, recovering from the latest demon attack

Paige rolled her eyes and spoke up. “Why is it that demons are all different yet somehow all the same?”

No one answered her

“So why would he attack us?” Phoebe asked confused.

“He didn’t attack us, he attacked Chris.” Wyatt’s voice was pure venom, promising a very painful death to the demon that dared hurt his little brother. Unfortunately his mum and aunts had driven Khata away before he could orb him into a volcano.

Chris looked up from his position on the sofa, “Why?”

Piper went back to the book. “I don’t know honey; it says here that Khata only attacks if the victims dream or nightmare strong enough to throw the world into mayhem… world chaos, typical bad guy ambition.”

“Far out Chris, what the hell goes on in your head at night?” the question was sarcastic, but Wyatt’s tone of voice was anything but.

“Chris…” Leo spoke up for the first time. “Have you had any nightmares lately?”

The young teenager smirked, before the smile slipped off his face and was replaced with a look of horror.

“Yea, I can see how my dreams would throw the world into chaos.”

The others looked at him expectantly. When it became clear that Chris wasn’t going to tell them what his dream was, Paige asked.”

“So are you gonna tell us or what?”

Chris shook his head. “It’s stupid.” He said suddenly withdrawn.

Leo looked at his son with concern. “Chris, you have to tell us if you want this demon gone. We can’t vanquish him if we don’t know what he’s after.”

Chris, who had been staring at his shoes for a while, glanced up. He took a deep breath as if what he was about to say was the most painful thing in his life.

“Wyatt was evil.”

Wyatt’s eyes bulged and his mouth dropped open, strongly resembling a fish. He was about to comment but it seemed his little brother wasn’t finished.

“I was 21, Wyatt was 24. He was evil and I went back to the past when Wyatt was only 1 and I wasn’t born yet to stop him taking over the world. I didn’t tell anyone that I was a Halliwell; everyone thought my last name was Perry. I said there was a demon that turned Wyatt evil when he was a baby but I didn’t know who it was… and you guys thought it was me… you thought I was evil.”

Silence. Nothing but silence.

Chris looked around nervously. If he’d known he would get this reaction he wouldn’t have told anyone.

Suddenly Wyatt burst out laughing.

“I was evil? You had a nightmare that I was evil?” Tears of laughter began to leak out the corners of his eyes as he fell off the sofa in hysterics. “Dude, you know I would never be evil.”

Chris began to feel extremely embarrassed. “I know you’re not evil, I have no idea why I dreamt it but it seemed so real… like a memory.”

“Well I was turned evil last year, but I was 16 not 24, and I’m pretty sure there was no future Chris running around. Besides, you’re not really a Halliwell until you’ve been evil, you’ve been turned evil before remember.”

Chris smiled slightly at the joke and looked over at his parents. His smile fell as he realised that their expressions still hadn’t changed.

Wyatt realised this too. “What?” he asked. The question was directed at Leo who was the closest, but it was Phoebe who answered the question, disbelief dripping from every word.

“Chris Perry was a real person; he came from the future sixteen years ago and died on your birthday.” She said the last part to Chris who was listening in shock.

“Oh my god.” Leo stated, hardly breathing. “He said we would meet again in the future, sooner than I thought.” He buried his head in his hands.

The sisters stared at Chris, taking in all his features making the teen feel like a very small bug under a very big microscope.

How could they have missed it? His eyes, the way they rolled in disbelief whenever anyone did something incredibly stupid. His hair, the brown locks that always seemed to fall in front of his face. His voice, the same voice that had lied to them so many times, the same voice that had nagged them into to going on demon hunt after demon hunt, the same voice that they had learned to loathe sixteen years ago, yet learned to love in the fifteen years they spent with their son and nephew.

All the signs were there, anyone could have guessed it, but they hadn’t; they had no idea. Chris Perry and Chris Halliwell were one and the same.

Like I said with my other Chris-revelation fic, you can figure out everything that happens after this yourselves. This is a one-shot. I’m not updating anymore so please don’t ask me to.

Anyway, I hope you liked it. Please review. Constructive criticism is always welcomed but if you just want to flame me for no reason other than you didn’t like it then just don’t bother saying anything.
