Almost Paradise-Chapter 2-Some Phoebe and Phoenix
~Present~P3~Chris
Chris woke up. He had fallen asleep? Guess so. He looked down at what he held in his hand. A picture of him and Bianca. He turned to the next picture. It was a picture of his brother, Wyatt. He had had a dream about he and Wyatt. More like a memory, actually. It had been when Chris was an evil bastard. Because technically he WAS a bastard. He hadn't been conceived when his parents were married. At least not in THIS timeline. His real timeline, yeah. Not this one though. Chris rubbed his forehead. Time travel. Too confusing. Chris heard a rap at the door.
"Chris? You in there? I need to have a talk with you."
It sounded like Phoebe. His aunt who didn't know she was his aunt. Phoebe had always been his favorite aunt. Paige was always too distracted. Heck, she hadn't even paid much attention to the superpowered god-man, Wyatt. Much less poor little wimpy Chris. Yeah. Wimp. That's what I am, Chris thought. Too much of a wuss to even tell my family the truth.
"Yeah, I'm in here. What is it?"
Chris hurried to put away his wallet with the pictures. His aunt Phoebe walked in the door. She was a lovely woman with short, dark hair and dark eyes. He would have been attracted to her had she not been his aunt. But then, he had been in a close relationship with his brother, so why not his aunt? Because he just didn't feel it, that's why.
"Hello, Chris! Sorry. I just needed a little information that's all. Did I interrupt anything?"
"Ah, no. Not at all. What can I do for you?"
Phoebe looked at him. "Are you alright? You seem a little tense. Did I wake you up from a bad dream?"
Chris laughed. "You could say that. Bad memories are more like it."
"Wanna talk about it? I do run an advice column, after all. I did want to ask you about something, but that can wait. I have time to listen to you."
Chris stared at Phoebe. Did he want to talk about it? Not really. But…
"Are you sure? Its nothing. Just remembering her. Bianca. If you really wanna listen, fine. You can stay."
~The Future~A Year Earlier~Bianca
Bianca was an assassin. A phoenix to be exact. Very hard to kill with magical attacks. Physical attacks would do the job though. They would do the job almost too well. Her mother had been killed in a very physical way. She had been stabbed. Right through her chest. Bianca had seen it all. She had hidden behind the couch the whole time. She had wondered at the time what had killed mommy. Now she knew. Her mother had been vanquished by three witches known as the Charmed Ones. It had happened when Bianca was only 9 years old. She was powerful, but not powerful enough to stop mommy from being brought to her death by the most powerful good witches the world has ever known. Bianca knew now that they weren't the most powerful force in the world. One of their sons was. His name was Wyatt Matthew Halliwell. Bianca had met him, and liked him. He seemed to like her well enough as well. It wasn't Wyatt that she was attracted to though. He was too big and muscular. No, she was more interested in his younger brother. Christopher Perry Halliwell. There was some speculation about his true name of course. Bianca was sure that his real first name was Perry, since his mother was a Charmed One and they all had some sort of fixation on P names. Also, Perry was what his mother had called him when he was a child. Still, if he wanted to use Chris that was fine. It sounded so much better anyway. She remembered the first time she had seen Chris. It was when her mother was vanquished.
~Flashback~
Bianca was sitting with Mommy on the couch. She was reading their version of the Grimoire to Bianca. Bianca could read, but it was better when Mommy did it. It was to help her when she became a full-fledged Phoenix. She had already been initiated. The scars proved it. They were on her little back, not that they could be seen, because Mommy told her to cover up when they went out in public. Bianca rubbed at her small back unconciously.
"Stop touching those scars, Bianca! You'll just irritate them!"
"Sorry, Mommy. But why did the leaders have to hurt me to make me a Phoenix? You don't have scars. I saw your back before, Mommy."
"Stop asking silly questions, Bianca. You know that you're not like the others. Its because you have demon side. Your father was a demon. You know that. The Phoenix Council doesn't like demons. Its their loss. You'll be the best someday. I know it."
Her mother reached down and patted her softly on the shoulder. Bianca loved her mother, but she wasn't like most human mothers. Her mother was going to teach her to kill, human mothers taught their daughters how to play with dolls. Bianca had a small thought.
"Mommy? What does it feel like to kill?"
"What? Oh. Nothing. It feels like nothing. Don't worry. It won't bother you at all."
Bianca had to accept that. It was all she knew she would get. There was a sound that was similar to her shimmering. Bianca got up and looked near the wall of the living room. There were three women there.
"Mommy, who are th-"
"Bianca! Down!"
Her mother shoved her out of the way and she felt her face burn as she hit the rough carpet. She looked up and Mommy was throwing a blast of energy at the prettiest of the three women. One of the others called her Piper. Bianca hid and watched in astonishment as Piper froze Mommy's energy blast in mid air.
"Phoebe! The potion! Use it!" the red haired woman, Paige, yelled.
The other witch, Phoebe, threw a potion at Mommy. Silly witch, thought Bianca, they can't kill mommy with a potion! The bottle of liquid hit Mommy but it didn't do anything. See? Silly witches.
"Paige! She's distracted. The knife!" Piper called out.
The red haired witch waved her hands and Mommy's athame near the desk disappeared in a swirl of blue lights and reappeared in the air. It was heading toward Mommy.
"Mommy! No!" Bianca yelled. The knife pierced her mother through her chest. She hadn't even had time to warn her. The witches didn't seem to hear her. Maybe she had only thought she screamed. They were looking at someone behind Piper.
"Mama? Is it dead?" A small voice said. Bianca turned from the gruesome scene of her mother's death to see what had said that. A small boy, about 6, had latched himself onto Piper's leg. He was crying, as if vanquishing an evil witch were a bad thing. He had dark brown hair and bright blue eyes that sparkled with tears.
"Perry? Honey, what did I tell you about orbing with us when we're on a vanquishing mission? Its dangerous! Your brother's going to get a real scolding when we get home. He was supposed to keep you there."
The boy, Perry, looked embarrassed.
"Sorry, Mama. Don't punish Wyatt. I made him feel guilty, so he let me go. Daddy wasn't watching, so he doesn't know that Wyatt let me go. Its not his fault."
Bianca watched the scene. A happy family. Bianca didn't even have a family left. She didn't know where her daddy was. He was supposed to be the most powerful demon to have ever existed. The Source was the real most powerful one. Not daddy. She had only met Daddy once. He was what Mommy had said. Tall, dark, and probably handsome. But now, she had no one.
~End Flashback~
Bianca rubbed her eyes. The memory was painful, but Chris had seemed like he cared. At least someone had cared about her mother. That was another reason she liked Chris so much. He was bad, yet good at the same time. He made her feel things she hadn't felt in, well, forever. No, that wasn't true. She had loved her mother. But not the same way she loved Chris. She still didn't know anything about her father. Through some searching and demonic interrogation, she had discovered that her mother wasn't her true mother. This didn't hurt too much. She had loved her mother, but her mother was a liar who hurt her. She ran her hands through her long, dark hair and wondered where her real mother was, who she was, and if she ever thought about the daughter she abandoned.
"Why do I have these powers? What am I? My adopted mother gave Phoenix powers, but where did the rest of these come from?" she said aloud.
She looked around at the place she was resting. The park. It was so beautiful. She had met Chris here. For what he thought was the first time. The first time had been at her mother's death, of course. Chris didn't know that. She wouldn't tell him either. She would let him believe that they had met here. It used to look like paradise. Beautiful and clean. Now…it was destroyed, but still beautiful,to her. Wyatt had damaged it, with the help of her beloved Chris. Hell, even Bianca had helped. She had oppressed the stupid masses with the worst of them and destroyed her fair share of property. Who was she to complain?
If she couldn't have paradise, she would settle for Almost Paradise.
