Charmed: Chris and the Future

Chapter 12

The next day, Bianca agreed to go with Chris to meet the elders and decide what was going to happen regarding her situation. He grabbed her hand and squeezed gently in reassurance. “It’s gonna be okay.” He kissed her hand. “Come on.” They both orbed up to the heavens.

They appeared in a swirl of blue orbs into a blinding white lights and robed men and women. One of the elders immediately recognised Bianca’s birthmark. “Phoenix!” He shouted. Immediately, the elders retreated. “Hey! You wanted an interview, you got one” Bianca shouted at the elders in anger over their reactions. Sandra and Odin orbed in front of the two, and before they had time to talk, they orbed them into a different location. Into the Tribunal.

Chris instantly recognised the tribunal. He recently visited this place as a hormonal teenager, with growing magical powers. “Chris.” He heard a familiar voice behind him. Both Bianca and Chris turned to see Wyatt, Melinda, Leo, Piper, Phoebe, Coop, Paige and Henry. “What are you all doing here?” Chris snapped at his family. “We knew you knew about the Phoenix we were talking about.” Melinda said. Chris sighed with frustrated amusement while rolling his eyes. “Of course…” Chris muttered. But his family could not respond. “Bianca Perry. Phoenix Assassin. Daughter of-” “Ex- Phoenix Assassin. I am not following my family’s beliefs anymore. And if I am honest I don’t understand why we are having this so called ‘interview’” The elders looked taken back. “Demons are hunting you,” “Thanks for letting me know…” “Your sarcasm is not appreciated.” Odin snapped. “What are you going to do? Heal me? Orb me?” She retorted. “Bianca…” Chris warned. Wyatt telepathically talked to Chris “Chris, what are you doing?” Chris immediately blocked him. Wyatt stepped back in surprise. “Are you okay, Wyatt?” Asked Mel, her voice dripping with concern. “Yeah, Mel, I’m fine don’t worry about me.” Wyatt zoned back into the elders conversation with Bianca regarding her past. “I know what I did was wrong. But like it or not many demons and warlocks kill many innocents but I don’t see you ‘interviewing’ them!” Bianca protested. “Yes. We are well aware of that. But your recent change has sparked up even more anger, rage and revenge into the demons making them more of a threat.” Sandra piped back. “Since when have demons not been a threat to us? They always have been and like it or not they always will.” Chris chimed in before Bianca had the chance. Everyone present glanced at Chris. “Yes Bianca has made mistakes but she is trying to make it right, or at least trying to help. She has strayed a far from evil. And you are saying that she can’t do that. That doesn’t make any sense.” He sighed. “Give me one good, reasonable reason for why she should be punished by turning good and trying to make amends with the things she has done.” Everyone glanced up towards the council, awaiting their response. Silence. Bianca smiled at Chris. He smiled back. “No. I didn’t think so. Meeting adjourned.” He said, in a bold voice. He grabbed Bianca’s shoulder and they both disappeared in a vast array of glowing white and blue lights.
