Light and Dark (Charmed AU)

Chapter 3

Chris orbed into the backroom of P3 and collapsed onto the couch he had made his bed for the past two months. He had been in the past for two months yet the sisters were still so focused on having their normal lives that they completely ignored his warnings.

"Well, at least I know where Wyatt gets his stubborn streak from." He muttered to himself.

He stared off into space as he mentally debated what to do next. He needed to shock the sisters. Wake them up to the seriousness of the situation. He only knew one demon who could do that.

Gith was a demon who could open votexes and create pocket worlds.

With that thought in mind, Chris orbed to the demon's cave to set everything up. It was something he would soon regret.

Chris really regretted it. Especially as he lay in the cave with a darklighter arrow in his back.

He saw that all three sisters were in trouble and quickly used his telekinesis to move Phoebe into Paige's pocket world.

Gith saw this and roared in rage. He turned and knocked the young man out cold. He paced for a moment. He couldn't allow for the whitelighter to interfere any more than he already had. With a malevolent grin, Gith deposited Chris in a pocket realm reflecting his greatest desires.

Chris could feel the soft healing glow and the familiar prickling sensation that he recognized as his demon half fighting the good magic.

The next thing that registered with him was the soft surface he lay on, definitely not the cold stone of a cave. Then he heard the words.

"Come on Chris, open those pretty eyes of yours for me. Please babe. Wake up."

"Why isn't he waking up?"

"I don't know Mel, maybe the poison had spread more than we thought."

Chris recognized that voice. Both of them but there was something different about that deep, male voice.

It didn't sound angry or cold. It didn't sound like the owner of said voice was about to go on a killing spree. It was warm, wrapping itself around the brunette like a blanket. It sounded concerned, almost scared.

He struggled to open his eyes, to let the other man know he was okay, and was met with bright blue eyes.

Strong arms wrapped around Chris' small waist.

"W-Wyatt?"

"Good to have you back Chris, gave us quite the scare." The female voice said from the doorway.

The girl had long, chocolate brown hair and hazel eyes. A teasing smirk played at her lips. Prudence Melinda Halliwell was very grateful that Chris had woken up but of course, being 17 and having grown up in the younger sister role with him, she obviously couldn't let the true extent of her fear show.

"Mel." He breathed in disbelief.

"Honestly Chris, you get back from the past, almost immediately go demon hunting alone, then don't even call for Wyatt until your almost unconscious?"

Chris was so confused. The last thing he remembered he was... In... A cave?

Suddenly, the blonde man pulled away from the hug to glare at his actual sister.

"Leave him alone Mel, he just woke up."

She rolled her eyes, the spitting image of her mother, and left the room.
