Hey all, this is just gonna be a short fic, a few chapters...no more then ten hopefully ( School holidays and I've had like a million story ideas) and maybe one day my others will get finished.

I promise they'll be updated soon.

One more thing, Melinda in the story is Wyatt's twin sister, yes she was from the very first future but there was this whole thing where it was collapsing on itself and that Piper sent six-year-old Melinda through a portal. (Think Dawn on Buffy.)

Chris sat on the Day bed in the attic rubbing his forehead when Piper, Phoebe and Paige orbed in, "Morning!" Phoebe chirped.

Chris groaned and buried his head deeper into his hands, "What do you three want?"

"Hey, you're the one who told us to meet you here bright and early." Paige grinned, "I've had my coffee and I'm ready to go."

"Since when do you three listen to the future boy?" Chris asked sarcastically.

"Chris what's wrong?" Piper asked.

"Just a headache, I'm alright." He went to stand up but fell back down, "Maybe I'll feel a bit better when the ringing in my ears stops."

A portal opened and a girl came running through, skidding to a halt when she saw the whitelighter, "Chris!"

Chris looked up, "Prue?" he asked tiredly, then, realising who it was he forgot about his headache and stood up, "Prudence Elizabeth Turner Halliwell what on God's green earth possessed you to come back here?" he demanded.

"Well, Christopher, I had a premonition. And I will thank you kindly to stop acting like my father. You may be Belthazor's heir but you aren't Dad."

Chris opened his arms and enveloped the younger woman in a hug, "My God it's good to see you." He grinned.

"Chris…it's about Wyatt and Melinda…"

He pulled back, "And welcome back to reality." He muttered, "What happened? Who'd they kill this time?"

"What do you mean who did they kill?" Paige demanded.

Ignoring the Charmed Ones and Leo, Prue looked deep into Chris' eyes and said, "P3 fell."

Chris dropped back onto the couch, "My headache just got worse."

"Chris, I don't know how it happened but they got through our defenses…there was no way we could have stopped them."

"Sephy?"

"Last I saw Leo orbed her out."

Chris ran his hands through his hair, "Fuck." Looking up he asked, "How many?"

"Don't do this to yourself Chris."

"How many Prue?"

"Half of the base."

"I should have been there." Chris sighed.

"And what would you have done? Thrown demons into walls? Stopped some hearts? Or gotten yourself killed?"

"I could have done something!" Chris shouted, "I was supposed to protect them Prue… I was supposed to protect them."

Prue hugged him tightly, "It's not your fault Chris…you didn't start this war, Wyatt did. And you are protecting them Chris, you're protecting our future by saving him. Nobody can ask anymore then that, not from you."

Piper cleared her throat, "Could someone explain what's going on?"

Chris rubbed his eyes furiously, "Alright. Phoebe, I'd like you to meet your daughter, Prue Turner Halliwell."

"Turner? As in Cole Turner?" Phoebe asked, looking like she was about to faint.

"Yeah Mum, you remarried Dad."

"We vanquished him." Paige said.

"I know." Prue grinned, "But death is rarely definitive where the Halliwell family is concerned. He was, you might say, un vanquished."

"How do you and Chris know each other?" Piper asked.

"We grew up together." Prue replied, which in truth wasn't a lie but a simple half-truth, "When the world went to hell he protected our family."

"A whitelighter protected the most powerful witches in existence?" Leo scoffed.

"A witchlighter protected us. He saved a hell of a lot of people…"

"A witchlighter?"

Chris looked up, "Half witch, half whitelighter. Just like Paige."

"And Wyatt." Leo added.

Chris looked down muttering, "More than you know."

"I can't believe you lied to us!" Piper yelled.

"I had to." Chris said calmly, "It was the only way."

"You could have told us the truth! Wyatt wouldn't kill anyone-"

Chris turned around angrily, "Oh no?" he snarled.

Prue put a hand on his elbow, "Chris, don't."

"Oh but dear Prudence, they want to know." He said in an almost sing song voice, "Now if the four of you will just hold hands, we can get on with the show.

"Chris, don't do this!" Prue pleaded, "You access those powers, there's no going back."

Chris clamped a hand on Phoebe's shoulder, the middle Charmed one was thrown into a premonition along with the other members of the circle.

Chris, Prue and another boy and a couple of girls were all standing in the attic. The other boy had one of the girls by the throat, grinning at the younger version of Chris.

"So Chrissy, what's it gonna be?" the boy sneered, "Join us, convince the new Power of three to do the same, or refuse and you all die.

"How can you be so cold Wyatt?" Chris asked, not once breaking eye contact with Wyatt, "You're supposed to be good…the greatest form of good the world would ever know…and you're the fucking Source of all evil."

Wyatt threw the girl aside and stalked over to Chris, "How many times do I have to tell you there is no such thing as good and evil…there is only power Christopher. You Melinda and I have it in spades. As do Prue, Penny and Patricia. If the six of us-"

"NO!" Chris shouted.

Wyatt backhanded him, sending the younger witch to the floor, "DON'T PISS ME OFF!" he shouted, "I don't want to hurt you…but it doesn't mean I won't."

The air rippled and a dozen demons appeared, "Restrain the boy." Wyatt said casually, then pointed to Prue and Penny, "Them as well."

"Melinda, don't let him do this!" Penny cried, "Please Mel!"

"Shut up." Melinda snapped, "You are the ones who turned your back on family, we rule the world now…and what you've done, its called treason. And dear cousin, you are being punished."

"WYATT!" Chris screamed, struggling in the demons' grip, "Don't! I'll join you…just let them go."

Excalibur appeared in Wyatt's hands, he whirred around, "I wish I believed that." With a simple thrust Wyatt imbedded the Sword of kings into Chris' stomach, the young witch screaming as it went right through and came out his back then quickly yanking it out, "Look, no blood."

He turned his attention back to his cousin, "Wyatt please let me go…" Patty begged, "I'm so sorry. Please, I'll do anything you want me to do. Anything, just please don't kill me…"

"I don't plan on it." Wyatt smirked, "I was going to let my demons have their fun."

Patty's eyes grew wide as Wyatt used his sword to cut away her dress, leaving deep scratches on her exposed body. The young witchlighter cried openly as the demons descended on her.

Penny screamed, feeling the pain of her twin. Prue struggled in the demon's grip, twisting and fighting to get to her cousin. Chris' body hung limp in the demons' hands, his astral form appeared next to Patricia, holding his hands out the demons attacking the girl were incinerated. He knelt down beside her stroking her hair, "Patty…"

"You can't save me Chris." She gurgled, "Darklighter poison…" tears streamed down both their faces, "You know what you have to do."

Astral Chris, energy diminishing quickly, held his hand over her heart and the other on her forehead, a green glow covered her head and she closed her eyes and slipped into a painless slumber. With his other hand Chris made a slight jerking movement and life left the girl's body quickly and painlessly.

"You bastard!" Melinda yelled, she grabbed Chris real body by the hair and sent an electric shock through his body, yanking his astral form back into his dying body.

The demons threw him onto the floor at Wyatt's feet, blood pooling underneath him. Melinda kicked him with her shoe, "Asshole!"

"Chris change!" Prue called, "Demons bleed slower!"

The prone form on the floor began to change, his lily white skin turned red and his chocolate hair turned white; the air around the figure rippled and Chris disappeared, turning into Gabriel. When he reappeared his facial colour looked like that of Belthazor except it was more human. Chris was standing erect and glared at the two twice-blessed twins, with his right hand he threw a telekinetic blast toward them, knocking them into the wall unconscious.

Chris turned to the demons holding Prue and Penny, "Let the girls go." His demonic voice ordered.

"Not a chance." A fireball came flying at him, hitting him in the shoulder.

Raising his hands he sent out two fire blasts ridding the attic of demons. Chris collapsed and fell in a heap on the floor.

The girls ran to Chris' side and orbed them to P3, "Somebody! Please help!"

A whitelighter ran to the girls, "Oh fuck me dead." The whitelighter muttered when he saw Chris lying on the floor, blood pooling beneath him. Holding his hands over the boy the golden glow appeared but the whitelighter frowned.

"What's the matter Joey?"

"Another whitelighter get your ass here now!" he screamed.

Blue orbs appeared to reveal Leo Wyatt, "Oh God, Chris." He knelt down beside Joey and the two whitelighters worked on him.

"What happened?" Leo asked.

"Don't worry about it Uncle Leo."

"Girls…"

"Excalibur…Wyatt stabbed Chris and let his demons…Patty's gone." Prue murmured.

"One against the other…how did it come to this? They were innocent boys…good in its purest form…and you had to take it away…" Leo muttered to himself, concern for the boy before him etched across his features.

It took a little over half an hour before the boy started to heal, the blood seeped back into him and his black shirt knitted itself back together. His body jerked upright, and his eyes flew open, "Patty!"

Prue and Penny wrapped their arms around him, "You did the right thing Chris…"

Chris pulled away, "I better get back to work." He said, fighting back the tears, "I've gotta go back out there. Scavenging is easier by yourself."

"We'll go with you." Penny said.

"No!" Chris snapped, "The two of you are not to leave the base under any circumstances! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"

"Chris!"

"NO! I won't lose you too. Now go find Cole, Jesse and Sephy, let them know what happened. Tell Jesse he lost a daughter." With that he orbed out.

The four people in their proper time came out of their vision shaking. All eyes turned to Chris, "You murdered my daughter!" Paige shouted.

"No he didn't!" Prue shouted, "Chris spared her the agony she would have suffered. Besides, did you notice what your little Twice-blessed did? He gave her to those demons, he did it to C-"

"Shut up Prue!" Chris snapped, "That's none of their business."

"Chris…"

"NO!" They noticed the wild look in his eyes, " They know enough already and I'll be dammed if I'll let them know what happened!"

"What do you mean?" Piper asked.

"I mean you know enough already and you don't need to know what happened to me when I was in Wyatt's compound."

"How long were you there?" Leo asked.

"Almost five years. I spent two and a half in the dungeons…the rest I spent with Wyatt and Melinda." Chris disappeared in a swirl of blue orbs, when the orbs had gone Phoebe saw Chris' lighter on the floor, bending down she picked it up and before Prue could stop her she was thrown into a premonition.
