Charmed: Chris and the Future

Chapter 5

“So why are we here?” Phoebe asked, no one particular in the room. “I don’t know the elders just said they needed to speak to us” Paige replied. “Freakin’ elders…” Piper muttered. Leo rolled his eyes. “Piper there not all bad.” “Tell that to Gideon…” She muttered under her breath. Leo froze, fully aware of the damage he caused. “Sorry.” Piper said to Leo. He smiled, unconvinced. Piper instantly regretted her words. Chris and Wyatt appeared in a flurry of orbs. “Hey!” Wyatt said, with enthusiasm. “Hey Wyatt, Chris.” Henry said to his two nephews. Chris gazed into the space, completely distracted about Bianca’s words. ‘I am no longer following in the footsteps of my family—you could get hurt’ “Hellooo….Earth to Chris…!” Wyatt says while waving his hand in front of his face. “What?!” Chris said with confusion. His whole family was staring up at Chris, expectantly. “Sorry I’m a little distracted.” Wyatt looked at him with worry. But he didn’t have any time to ask what was wrong. As a swirl of white and blue orbs filled the room and two elders filled the void of what was once an empty space. They both glance at Leo “Hello Leo.” One of the elders say. “Hello Odin, Sandra” He says while nodding at both of the elders present. Both the elders look around to see all of the Halliwell family. “Thank you all for coming. We have some news. And we need your help with this problem.” Sandra explains. “What is it?” Coop says. “Well, we have reason to believe that a Phoenix, an assassin witch has turned their back on their family, and their beliefs. After killing an innocent.” Odin says “We also believe that demons in all ranks have been hunting this person and we believe that he or she needs to be vanquished as he or she is charging energy and revenge into warlocks and demons. Causing them to kill more innocents who look like that person.” He finishes. The whole Halliwell family is silent. Melinda is the first person to break the silence. “Ermm…What do you want us to do about this person?” Everyone looks up to hear the response. “We want you to capture this person and bring them in. So they can be interviewed and from there we will decide what action to take.” Everyone nods. Happy with the information and with the action being taken. But Chris knows who this mysterious Phoenix person is. Bianca. “W-Wait a second. This person hasn’t done anything wrong. If anything she needs protecting!” Chris protested. “She?” Sandra said. Everyone glanced at Chris confused by his choice of words. “I-I mean. He-she. It doesn’t matter. This person hasn’t done anything wrong. They realised that they made the wrong decision and they left behind what they have grown up believing. We should be protecting he- them!” Chris protested, yet again. “Chris” Wyatt said “Do you know this person?” Chris turned red, not sure whether out of anger or embarrassment. “Does it matter?!” He snapped. “You know what I’m pretty sure this is just yet another power play for you Elder’s making sure everything happens just the way you want it to. We are not your puppets. If you want something done, do it your own god damn self!!!” Chris yells. Everyone stares at Chris in horror and…fear. Wyatt eased towards Chris. “Okay Chris…Just calm down a second.” Chris frowns at the elders, then orbs away. Leaving all his family members and two elders completely dumb founded.

After 20 minutes on top of the Golden Gate Bridge, Wyatt appeared next to his younger brother. “Want to talk?” He asked. “Not even a little bit.” Chris said, whilst glancing out across the skyline. Wyatt sighed and sat down next to his brother. “Do you know her?” He asked. Chris remained silence. “Chris?” Wyatt encouraged. He still remained silent. “Okay. You don’t wanna talk fine. But we will. Soon.” He orders. And once again he orbs away. Chris rolled his eyes. And orbs to his bedroom, in the full knowledge that he needs sleep for his interview tomorrow. He changes his clothes, and heads towards his comforting bed.
