As soon as Chris entered the Manor he could tell something was wrong. His 'spider' senses were tingling. He cautiously moved along the corridor, silent as a mouse, attempting to figure out the location of the witches. He stopped for a second trying to use his white lighter senses to seek out the location of his charges but they seemed to be blocked. He peered into the living room but there was no one there and the place looked clean and tidy. Clearly nothing had been disturbed, so no fight had ensued down here. He heard a crash in the attic and ran full pelt up the stairs.
As he headed up the final few stairs he could hear Piper's voice. “Tell me what you know or you lose an arm” her voice was loud and demanding but there was a definite hint of fear laced through it.Chris ran into the attic and stopped dead in his tracks. The whole world seemed to stop in that moment and he could hear nothing but a great whooshing noise in his ears. It couldn't be, there was no way that they could have brought him here. The others looked around at him and he could feel the hostility and anger coming off them in waves. He scanned their faces, desperate to make sense of the situation.“Christopher” How one word could fill someone with so much fear and dread seemed almost impossible. He turned slowly, his eyes scanning the floor, afraid to look up into the face of the one who had caused him so much terror and pain. At the demon, who was now surrounded by a crystal circle holding him in time. He dragged his eyes slowly up the form of the human looking demon in front of him. As soon as their eyes locked the world seemed to fall away and he was back in that room. That room that he feared to even think about let alone be in. The demon smirked before looking around at the other occupants. “Been a bad boy has he?” he teased before laughing nastily. Chris wanted to scream, to fall to the ground, to do anything but be here in that moment. This couldn't be happening to him.He turned pleadingly to the others, seeking out Piper, the one he trusted the most. “What's going on?” he asked, managing to school his voice into a fake level of calm.Leo's voice sounded from behind him. “We wanted to know the truth Chris and I guess we found it” Chris turned to face him, blanching at the look of disgust and anger that had settled across Leo's features. “We found this” he growled before flinging something in Chris' direction. Chris caught it and instantly recognised the band he had magically cut from his wrist. He began to have trouble breathing. “We wanted to know what was really going on so we used it to summon the person who gave it to you so we could find out the truth from them”Paige cut in at this point “And then we find out you are working with demons” she added angrily.Chris turned to her, “It's not what it looks like” he shouted, desperate to make her believe him.Paige scoffed in disbelief, turning away from him. “Tell us what you know about Chris” she barked at the demon who was continuing to smirk.Chris' mind wanted to explode and he was beginning to hyperventilate, they couldn't find out the truth, they would hate him. He turned to the demon, “They''ll use you to get to him” he whispered. It was the only thing he could think of that might save the situation, he would deal with the aftermath later. Someone pushed him from behind and he sprawled to the floor but as he looked up at the demon he could see he was looking unsure of himself. “If you give them any information they'll find a way to use it.”. The demon would know that Chris was saying this to save himself, he certainly wasn't stupid, but he would also know that what Chris was saying was true.“Help me then” the demon hissed, anger evident in every movement. Chris had landed close to the circle and without thinking he grabbed one of the crystals and threw it across the room. Instantly the demon vanished and before he could blink strong arms had grabbed him from behind.“Get him in the chair” Phoebe shouted and he was dragged across the room. He was too much in shock to really fight physically and they managed to easily manoeuvre him into the chair. He tried to orb but found that he couldn't.A harsh laugh sounded from beside him and he looked up confused into Leo's eyes, which were burning with hate. “We've managed to temporarily bind your powers Chris, the spell took effect as soon as you voluntarily entered this house.”Chris was beginning to panic, “Stop it please, I can explain, it wasn't what it looked like” he screeched. They managed to tie him into the chair and they stepped back to surround him. Four pairs of burning eyes staring down at him. He pulled at the ropes that were binding him to the chair but he was well and truly secured. He looked up at them in fear “What are you going to do?”.“You are going to tell us the truth, all of it” Piper stated, her voice a deadly calm.“Piper please...” he pleaded softly. A resounding slapping noise stopped him mid sentence and it took him a few seconds before the pain spread across his cheek and he realised Piper had hit him. She towered over him, placing her hands on the side of the wooden chair and leaning in close to his face. He attempted to draw back but really couldn't go anywhere.“You tell me you are from the future, that my son is in danger and you have come to help save him. Yet you lie to us, deceive us and then let a demon go free and we are just supposed to trust you. The only reason you are not dead right now is that you aren't actually a demon, that doesn't mean I don't think you are evil” she stated, her voice menacing and dark. She pulled back from him, now tell us the truth, all of it.” She re-emphasised.He looked up at her pleadingly, knowing even as he said his next words that he was sealing his fate, they would never trust him again and he had failed. “I can't” he whispered.She glared at him before turning away in disgust. “It doesn't matter, we are going to find out whether you like it or not” she told him, her lips curling in anger. “Get the spell Phoebe” she commanded.He looked at her in alarm “What? What are you doing?” he asked his eyes widening in terror.Leo laughed nastily “We have a handy little spell that allows us, by putting you to sleep, to see the day you travelled back in time.” He paused for a second before continuing, his triumphant smirk emphasising the power of his next words “The entire day”.“No” Chris screeched in panic. “No you can't” He really was panicking now, remembering exactly what they would see him doing.“You have no way of stopping us” Leo growled.“No you don't know what you are doing” Chris begged, beginning to have trouble breathing again in his panic-stricken state.Leo smirked nastily at him, “We know exactly what we are doing, now we'll finally see what so called evil supposedly hurts Wyatt, though I'm inclined to think that evil is you”.Chris whipped his head round to find Piper, “Piper please” he begged “don't do this.”“Why are you so worried Chris?” She asked angrily “If you are telling the truth then this should simply back up your story?”“No, you can't” he screamed “You can't know the future.”“Enough of this” Leo Shouted. “Say the spell Piper”Chris bowed his head, giving into the inevitable. They were all going to find out the truth and they would hate him. Hate him for what he had become. He hated himself for what he had become but he had no way of changing it. He had hoped coming back to the past would change everything for all of them but now he had failed. A sob escaped him as he sat dejectedly. He could hear Piper incanting the spell and he could feel the drowsiness beginning to overtake him. He struggled to stay awake, fighting as the fog settled over him and the images began to hurtle back. He couldn't let them see his future self, he couldn't bare the thought that his parents would know what he was and how disgusting he was.The tears fell freely as he finally drifted into sleep.
