Future vs Past

15

I was getting restless. Since coming back to the past, I've had seen my mom but I haven't been able to locate my dad, I missed him

I was at the attic, in my hand I had a crystal we witches used to scry for people and I was leaning over a map.

Chris orbed inside. "Hey"

I didn't look up, "Busy. Not time for your demons" Chris took the crystal from my hands. "Hey!" I snapped, trying to take it back but he only held it upwards out of reach as he was taller than me "I was using that"

"I know" Chris shrugged "But if you're doing what I think you're doing then I have all right to stop you"

"You're being unfair" I snapped, beaming away and showing up behind Chris, jumping to grab the crystal "Two can play that game"

Chris turned to face me, glaring "Are you out of your mind? Anyone could have seen you"

"No one would know either way" I waved a hand dismissively "We took that potion from Jack. The one that hides our other half?"

Chris smirked "And again Jack makes another appearance in less than a week" He teased. I crossed my arms "And you say you don't like him"

I rolled my eyes, "He's just a good friend"

"I don't need to be a Cupid to know that's not true" Chris raised a brow, "He followed you around like a puppy. At the magic school, always finding a reason to talk to you. Your Cupid side likes it" I bit my cheek, staying silent. I couldn't deny that actually. "Potion you ask, Potion he gives you. Trust me, he's your Bianca"

I chuckled, "I'm not engaged, nor I think to be any time soon" I shot back, raising my eyebrows "By the way, you're too young to be engaged, Chris"

"Hard times, remember?" Chris looked away, "Anyway. You can't do what you were doing, Bree. I know you want to find your dad but it's not a good time"

I lowered my eyebrows "Like I said, you're being unfair" I said quietly. Chris looked back at me, "You at least can see both your parents and know they're okay. Mostly" I added at his look. "But, I don't know how's my dad this time. And I want to know. I won't reveal myself to him or tell him I know him. I just want to see him"

Chris still shook his head, but seemed understanding "No, Bree. I'm sorry" He sighed "Besides that I need you. This is around the time when someone is trying to take the book"

I frowned "There's always someone trying to take it, though. What's different now?"

"Piper found the book on the floor last night" Chris told me "Remember that story Paige told us once? That one she never finished telling?'"

My eyes lit up in remembrance "Oh. She was always called from the school before she could finish it" Chris nodded confirming I meant that story "So, we have to be careful then"

"Yeah" Chris nodded before looking up "Huh, Piper is calling"

I raised a brow, "Isn't she downstairs?"

Chris shrugged "I'll be right back"

I nodded as he orbed away. I sighed in relief, raising the scry crystal to my eye level before looking down at the map determined.

Oh yeah. I was going to find my dad. Wether Chris liked it or not

~8~

I smiled in victory once I found my dad. He seemed to be close by. New York

I shoved the crystal to my pocket and folded the map as Chris orbed inside.

I paused awkwardly. "Hey. What did Piper want?"
