Chris' Little Sister

Chapter 10

Chris and I orbed into P3 and I jumped off his back.
"No!" Piper and Phoebe said before Chris could even say anything.
"We're not demon hunting, we're going to lunch." Phoebe said.
"Told ya." I said.
"Hey, I am not unreasonable. We can hunt demons after lunch. By the way, anyone seen Leo?" Chris said.
"No, I have not." Piper said.
"I haven't seen him either." Phoebe said.
"Well, if you do, let me know. There's a rumour floating around up there that he has a lead on whoever sent him to Valhalla." Chris said.
"Well, I'm sure that's very important stuff but I have another question. Did either one of you leave the book on the floor last night?"
"On the floor?" Chris asked.
"No, I didn't." Phoebe said.
"Me either." I said. Piper and I looked at Chris.
"Chris?" Piper asked.
"I vaguely remember a story that started like that in the future. Someone's after the book."
"Demons are always after the book. What's new?"
"No, I think this time they get it. You should take this threat seriously. And tell Paige. Where is Paige?"
"She's at her new temp job." Piper said as we were leaving.
"She's still on that kick?"
"It's not a kick, Chris. It's her quest for happiness outside of magic."
"Yeah, but it's a temp job. Who finds happiness on a temp job?"
~o~
Chris and I were working on the list when he heard Piper call.
"Come on KC." I hopped on his back like always and we orbed to the sister.
When we got there they were in a different house. They also changed their clothes.
I hopped off Chris' back.
"Why did you change clothes, Piper? You can't hunt demons in heals. Go switch your shoes and we'll get started." Chris said.
"Hey," Paige said putting her arm around Chris. "slow down there, angel. It's all good in the Charmed universe. What's your hurry?"
"Paige, did you just call me angel?"
"She did, and I can clearly see why." Phoebe said as she went to Chris' other side.
"Okay. What are you doing over here?"
"And why are you guys acting weird?" I asked.
"Oh, well, we were just, um..." Phoebe started.
"Solving a murder. Evil has been here, probably spying on us." Piper said. We looked over and saw a man laying on the floor with a dagger lodged in his chest. Piper grabbed it and handed it to Chris.
"This could be connected to whoever's after the Book of Shadows."
"Could be. See that symbol carved into the handle? We think that represents the astral plane."
"I don't know. The astral plane's a realm of spirit and energy. It's not like they manufacture athames there."
"All the more reason you should orb over and investigate." Phoebe said.
"You want me to orb to the astral plane?" Chris asked.
"Immediately. And don't come back until you find out where that knife came from."
"Alright. KC go back to house ok?" I nodded my head and went towards the door.
"Can I have a kiss goodbye?" Paige asked.
"No." Chris said before orbing out and I left the house.
~o~
When I got to the house nobody was there. I found the book on the floor and looked around the house for anyone who shouldn't be here. When I didn't find anyone I took the book and out it in the attic. I was reading through it when I heard the door open downstairs. I went downstairs and hear Chris' voice.
"I'm on to you three." I got to the bottom of the stairs and saw Chris. I ran over to him. "You thought you could fool me but you can't." Chris stood up from the chair he was in. "This athame isn't from the astral plane. You sent me on a wild goose chase so you wouldn't have to hunt demons, didn't you, Piper?"
"Busted." Phoebe said.
"Guilty." Paige said.
"You figured us out, Chris." Piper said and Phoebe came closer to Chris and pushed me aside.
"Hey!"
"We are so sorry." She said.
"Yeah, you should be. Look, there's an evil out there after Wyatt," Phoebe started rubbing her face on Chris' chest. "and we need to find him before he... Phoebe, what are you doing?
"Finding comfort in my Whitelighter."
"You're all over him." Paige said.
"You're just jealous 'cause I got to him first."
"Look, Phoebe, I know Piper hooked up with her last Whitelighter but I'm really, really not interested, okay? Can we get back to hunting demons, please?" Chris said.
"Actually, Chris, we can't. We didn't ditch you to play hookie. We needed time to investigate the death across the street." Piper said.
"Well, why didn't you say so in the first place? I would have given you time off for legitimate Charmed duties."
"Well, we're asking now. We believe that athame belongs to witches." Phoebe said.
"Really smart, pretty witches." Paige said.
"We just don't know who they are." Piper said.
"So why don't KC and I check around this realm for them?" Chris said.
"It's like you read my mind."
"See, I can be reasonable and helpful. All you gotta do is be honest with me. Come on KC." He grabbed my hand and we orbed away.
~o~
Chris and I were searching around for the witches after the book of Shadows. I was doing some research on any activity in the area when Chris orbed next to me.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I just ran into a couple of gremlins. Come on we need to get back to the house."
"Ok, well other than the death from across the street, nothing I could fine." I said as I hopped on Chris' back.
"No problem, I'm sure the sisters know what's going on." Then we orbed to the house.
"You wouldn't happen to know any gremlins, would you?" He said when we arrived.
"Chris!" I said when I noticed the other three women standing in the room.
"Uh, it's about time." The red head said. Then the one with short hair started talking to Chris,
"Chris, thank god. Look at them, look at them, they're impostors. They stole-
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down. Who are you?" Chris asked.
"They're witches. They're the ones that killed that guy across the street." Piper said.
"No, Chris, she's lying. Remember this morning when you said something was gonna happen to the book? Well, this is it. It's happening now." The last one said.
"Ugh, enough of this. Piper, blast them." Phoebe said but before Piper could Chris stop them.
"How do you know what I said to Piper?"
"Because she is Piper. And I'm Paige and this is Phoebe. And they cast an identity spell to make the entire world think they're us."
"That's ridiculous. Everyone knows the Charmed Ones are blonde." Paige said,
"If you're Piper, then show me your powers, blast me." Piper said.
"I can't, you stole them." The women with long hair said.
"Okay, so we stole your identities and your powers. Wow, we must be good. It's time to take care of you witches and your delusions."
"Wait!" The red head said. "Wait. I can prove that we're telling the truth. I can still orb, I'm half Whitelighter."
"Okay, go for it." She tried to orb but nothing happens. Chris picks me up and steps back. "Go ahead, Piper, blast away." When Piper tried she totally missed and hit the window.
"Piper?" I asked confused.
"She missed, Chris, when have you ever known Piper to miss?" The one with the short hair said.
"Even I'm entitled to a bad day."
"Come on, try again." Paige said. Piper tried again and hit a flower pot instead.
"Chris?" I asked and pulled at his jacket.
"Uh, Chris, a little help here." The red head said,
"Oh, you know what? She's getting angry. And our powers don't work so good when we're angry." The one with the long hair said.
"We've got them now." Phoebe said,
"Yeah, you've got us now so why don't you blow us up?"
"Piper, death bad, life good." The short hair one said.
"Don't worry, this bimbo couldn't hit the broadside of a beauty parlor. Check out that dye job." The red head said. The sisters gasped.
"How dare you!" Piper said and tried to blow them up again but hit the door.
"Run!" Then the other three escaped.
The sisters went after them and Chris put me down.
"Chris I believe those girls." I said.
"Me too. I'm gonna go help them ok?" I nodded and he orbed upstairs.
After a moment I ran after him and ended up in the attic.
"He's right. You despise us." 'Phoebe' said. I looked over at the book and the triquetra on the front started to glow. "In fact, until I became an empath I never realised how much you truly hate us."
"You know what? Come on, baby, lets go, who needs them?" Chris said grabbing the girls arm.
"Oh, you're not going anywhere. We've got to stick together or our plan falls apart." 'Piper' said grabbing onto 'Phoebe'.
"See? There you go, bossing again." 'Paige' said.
"Mm-hm."
"Just let the little chippy run off if that's what she wants."
"Don't call me a chippy." 'Phoebe' pushes 'Paige'
"Don't push me!" The she pushes back.
"Just shut up!" 'Piper' pushes them both and I saw the triquetra on the book split apart. Then the other three women unfreeze.
"You should be able to handle these women now." Chris said and I ran over to him. The sisters punched the imposters and 'Phoebe' gave the one a necklace before getting hit.
"I take it this was all your doing." I take it this was all your doing?" The red head asked Chris.
"Hey, you're the one who got me here."
"How did you know they weren't us?"
"In all my life I have never seen you take the bait the way that witch took it from you." He said as he handed them the book,
"In all your life? You've only been our Whitelighter for two months."
"Let's just reverse the magic." Chris said,
"Powers of the witches rise, course unseen across the skies, come to us who call you near, come to us and settle here." Then the sisters got their powers back.
"Now, I think it's time for someone to get some sleep." Chris said turning towards me.
"Do I have to?"
"Yes. Let's go we'll do what we do every night." He came over and picked me up and we went down to the kitchen.
~o~
Chris set me down and went to the fridge while I climbed the counter to reach the cabinet and grabbed four cookies.
"Check it out. Everything really is the same Chris." I said looking back as he was pouring two glasses of milk.
"Just like it used to be." Chris said before putting the milk down. I hopped off the counter and went to the table. Chris sat down in front of me and slid my glass over as I set his cookies over by him. "Ready?" He asked.
"Yeah." We dipped one of our cookies in the milk and took a bite. When we finished the first cookie we tapped out glasses together and took a drink.
Chris and I had done this before bed since I was six. Normally we'd have Grandpa with us but, here he doesn't know who we are. We did the same with the other cookie and then we finished our milk.
"Alright. Two cookies, milk, now pajamas and bed."
"Fine." I got up and Chris put the glasses in the sink. "Chris?" I turned around to face him as he did the same.
"Yeah?"
"We're safe here? Right?" Chris walked over to me and hugged me.
"Of course we are. I promise to keep you safe ok?" I nodded me head. "Ok, now go on I'll be up soon." I nodded my head and ran upstairs.
The sisters gave me a room so I wasn't sleeping on the couch all the time. I got dressed in my purple, long sleeve shirt and purple plaid pajama pants and got into bed to go to sleep.
