The girl dropped kicked the Phoenix in the chest but Bianca regained her balance faster than the girl had predicted. Bianca glared; her eyes narrowed on the girl in front her with a malevolent stare. She charged at the girl and swung a fan kick at her, her black boot crushing into the girl’s jaw and sending her flying into the cold hard ground. All the negative energy and anger that Bianca was feeling was going into every blow she sent at the girl. Bianca walked up to the girl who was bleeding from the head and struggling to keep herself awake; she pulled the girl up by the hair and an atheme appeared in her hand.

“This will show your princess,” Bianca said coldly and was about to slit the girl’s throat when Tina stopped her.

“No, Bianca,” she said beside her cousin. Bianca glared at her. “Make it permanent.” She handed Bianca a different atheme that had a black blade that glinted red when it was in her hand. Bianca then took the atheme and struck straight up into the girl between her rib cages, puncturing the lung and heart at the same time: the way her mother had taught her to.

The girl’s eyes flashed a vibrant violet color and Bianca stepped away from her watching the girl’s complexion slowly loose color. A trace of blue spider like streams appeared under the skin and spread over her face, causing the girl to jolt and scream, her face now going from stark white to a purplish color. Soon the girl was in harsh convulsions and then her body burst into flames and slowly disintegrated into ashes. Bianca looked at her cousin with curiosity.

“It’s the latest in vanquishing potions,” Tina explained with a smile. “A great mixture of powerful magic, fairy blood, black poppy, octopus powder and other ingredients. I had the apothecary melt it into the metal used on the blade and then it was burned in the fires of purgatory for a little kick.”<br>
Bianca smiled. “I can’t believe it! A historical breakthrough.”<br>
“I know,” Tina replied smugly. “The first ever Amazon vanquishing potion.”<br>

Chris sighed as he walked down the street. He felt as if the walls were crumbling down around him. His fiancé wanted to kill his ex-girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend wanted to torture then kill his fiancé, and to top it off, his ex-best friend was rumored to be the up and coming source. He glanced around the busy street and noticed that there was a tall man in a black trench coat watching him. The thing was, he had seen this guy in the park where Zoey was right before she turned to put her all her attention onto him. Chris looked straight ahead of him as if he hadn’t seen anything and continued walking along the street.

Soon Chris realized that he was being followed by the man in the trench coat. He casual threw a glance over his shoulders. Yup, it was him alright. Chris glanced around the street and found an alley way that led towards the piers. That would be the perfect way to handle this. It wouldn’t be in public and incase things did get out of hand, no innocents would be hurt. Chris crossed the street and made his way casually towards the alley. Once he was in the alley near the piers he hid behind a giant blue trash can.

The tall man in the trench coat came into the alley way and glanced around looking for Chris.

“Looking for me?” he said as he stepped out from behind the dumpster. Chris watched the man carefully.
The man turned towards him and smiled. “He doesn’t want you anywhere near her.”<br>
Chris raised a curious eyebrow. “Who are you talking about?”<br>
The man laughed. “I think you know.”<br>
“You can tell Wyatt to go f-”<br>
“Ah, ah- I’d be careful of what you say, it could hurt you in the future,” the man cut off. “And I’m not talking about Wyatt,” the man said. He smiled slyly as he watched Chris think about who he was talking about. “Does Balthazar ring a bell?”<br>
Chris’ eyes narrowed on the man. “What does he have to do with this?”<br>
The man smiled and walked up to him. “He has a lot to do with this. Or hasn’t the Phoenix told you anything?”<br>Chris looked at the man confused. “What the hell are you talking about?”<br>
The man sighed. “When he said you were slow I didn’t think you were this incompetent,” the man mumbled. He placed his hand on Chris’ shoulder. “Come on.” With that the two blinked out and appeared in a large luxurious loft that over looked the desolate bay. The man left Chris for a moment and returned later with Cole at his side.

“Well, well, the twit again,” Cole said with a smug smile. He nodded his head towards the man and the man left the two alone. “Have a seat,” Cole said with a gesture towards a red sofa. Chris studied him for a moment before he sat down on the sofa.

Cole watched him carefully and took a seat on the black round chair across from him. “So I hear you’ve had a couple of chats with Zoey,” he began with careful eyes glancing over Chris.

Chris didn’t answer him. Why should he? It wasn’t any of Cole’s business.

Cole sighed. “So what did you two talk about?” he asked. Again Chris didn’t answer. “Finally, a gift to the world. The twit has lost the ability to speak. But I assume nothing’s wrong with your hearing so listen to me when I say to you, stay away from Zoey outside.”<br>
“Why do you care if I see her or not?” Chris demanded suddenly.

“Damn! There goes the peace,” Cole quipped. He then looked at Chris. “She’s not the same girl you knew and left back in the past Chris. She’s different.”<br>
“Really? Cause I mean with the whole 22 years that past and everything.”<br>
“Why don’t you stop being a smart ass and really take a good look at what the hell is going on,” Cole said with a firmness that made Chris quiet down and look at him. “Things are different and everybody you knew back then is different. More so with Zoey.”<br>
“Why? What makes her situation stand out?” Chris demanded. “She’s evil and that’s it.”<br>
Cole shook his head. “Why don’t you open a book sometime? If you truly cared you would have done your reading. You know those files are open to the public and are updated periodically.” Cole hesitated. “A lot of crap has happened since you left the past. Including Wyatt’s sudden interest in the most powerful demons in time. Including Alastor.”<br>
Chris looked at Cole sharply. “What did he do?”<br>
“He did the most inhumane thing possible,” Cole said leaning back against the chair. “He made her relive every moment she spent tortured by Alastor. He’s created a potion that causes the victim to go into a state of mind where they’re reliving the moments that they’ve tried to repress: the most traumatizing.”<br>

[wickedamazon]

“Son of a b!tch!” Chris said standing up. Cole got up and pushed Chris back down into the seat. “Get off of me! I’m going to kill him!”<br>
“No, you’re going to kill yourself if you go after him like that!” Cole said holding the white lighter down. Chris finally stopped struggling and looked up at Cole.

“When did he do this?”<br>
“A long time ago. He’s kept her as one of his little projects ever since. Haven’t you noticed anything odd about her?”<br>
Chris thought for a moment. “She did seem a bit out of it; more than usual for her.”<br>
Cole smiled and shook his head. “You’ve only seen the surface.”<br>
Just then, the door opened and Zoey entered the loft looking like she was about to cry and faint and become sick all at the same time. “Cole!!” she pouted in a faint odd tone.

Cole got up and walked over to her. “Honey, what’s the matter?” he asked softly as he put his hands on her shoulders. “Zoey?” He looked into her eyes. He sighed and looked her over. “Are you feeling well honey?” he asked in a soft voice.

Zoey shook her head. “What do you think?” she said with a tired smile.

Cole smiled faintly and was about to reply when Zoey staggered a bit and almost fell over. Chris caught her. “Zoey are you alright?” Chris asked.

“No…not again!” Zoey said as she placed a hand to her forehead and stumbled backwards. She screamed in pain, her eyes flashing a shade of violet that Chris had never seen before. She fell to her knees and pulled at her hair, still crying painfully. Cole rushed over to her and then turned to Chris.

“I need you to help pin her down.” Cole struggled to keep Zoey down even though she scratched at him and tried to kick him off. When Chris grabbed onto her shoulders from behind her he struggled more than ever with her. He knew that she had incredible strength, there had been times that she had thrown him off of her and across a room during these kinds of episodes but she was worse this time.

In a cloud of black smoke, a small black kit appeared in Cole’s hand and he opened it and pulled out a needle and vile. He then wrapped a black leather band around the upper part of Zoey’s arm. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Chris demanded.

Cole ignored him and tightened the strap on Zoey’s arm and held it still then injected the serum into her vein. Zoey gasped then slowly, her body stopped flailing about and slowly stopped moving altogether. Cole sighed and kissed her forehead.

Chris shoved him away from her. “Get the hell away from her!” he said looking at him in disgust.

Cole rolled his eyes at him. “I can’t do that,” he said. As he stroked Zoey’s hair back from her face.

“Why?” Chris demanded looking at him harshly and brushing him away from Zoey who was now sleeping.

“Because she’s my wife,” Cole explained as he picked Zoey up carefully. “Excuse me.” He disappeared down the hall and a few minutes later he reappeared.

“Your wife?” Chris exclaimed unbelievably. “When the f**k did that happen?”<br>
“Fifteen years come next Thursday,” Cole said with a smile. “Look, the real reason…”

“Wait a minute what the hell is going on here?” Chris demanded. “I mean, my fiancé is trying to kill Zoey because she thinks she’s evil but in reality she’s just crazy and now you’re her husband?”<br>
Cole sighed. “You are a bright one aren’t you?” he looked at Chris. “Zoey is evil; she has been for a long time. The Charmed Ones died a year after you left and it caused Zoey to just snap. You know as well as I do, that she wasn’t all that sane after Alastor was resurrected by the Ancient. You knew that something was missing from her.”<br>
Chris shook his head. “No, I don’t believe you.”<br>
“Well you better believe it,” Cole said coolly. “She’s killed innocents, and to top it off, she just doesn’t care anymore. Which is why Wyatt has been so attracted to her: aside from being one of the most powerful witches he knows, she can also offer him something he can’t have.”<br>
“What would that be?” Chris tested.

Cole smiled. “Knowledge of just how much a person can take until they crack. Plus the stone of Hamza of course.”<br>
Chris was silent for a moment as he let the last few minutes register with him. “She’s evil then?”<br>
“It was her choice; but I’m the only one she’d open up to about it all. We’ve grown close over the years and I’m the only one who’s helped her. After what Wyatt did….the least I can do is try and figure out a way to get her life back on track. Didn’t Bianca tell you that I too am part of the resistance?”<br>
“She managed to leave that part out,” Chris replied, his mind already thinking up ways to get even with Wyatt.
Cole smiled. “Judging by your lack of knowledge, I’m guessing she also forgot to mention that she’s back in league with her Phoenix family and working on a way to kill Amazons too.” Chris looked at him curiously. “Don’t you know communication is a vital part of the relationship?”<br>

[CrazyCharmedGirl03]

WOW what at twist I love it

Cole and Zoey married never seen that coming and the Charmed Ones dieing a year after Chris left poor Zoey no wonder she went evil and what Wyatt is putting her through is awful. Chris is definitely going to have to go back to the past again to fix all of this.

I can't wait for more Please Update soon!!!

“So…you never told us how your date went,” Piper mentioned as she placed the forks, knives, and sthingys on the napkins in proper order.

Phoebe glanced at her sister and winked. “Yeah, I mean, you were so nervous about the date and all. Did it go how you planned?”<br>
Zoey stopped laying down the white plates with the green design and looked at the two. “You’re not going to leave me alone until I tell you are you?”<br>
“Well, seeing as we treat you as a sister of our own then no,” Phoebe said with a playful smile and placed the last glass on the table. They were fixing up the dining room because tonight they decided to all have a family dinner. Jason was back in town and Glenn was going to come over also. Piper was making the best dinner she could think of to celebrate Phoebe’s great news.

“Fine, I’ll tell you,” Zoey gave in as she finished placing the dishes on the table and followed the sisters into the kitchen and continued where she left off with the icing of the cake. “It was fun,” she began as she made a small flower out of the pink icing. “Keith was really good about not pushing things. I told him that I wasn’t really ready to get into a serious relationship and he understood that.”<br>
“Well that’s good sweetie,” Piper said as she basted the pork roast again with the juices that had gathered in the Pyrex dish.

“Yeah, it is,” Zoey said with a faint smile as she thought about the date last night. “We also have a lot in common. Like our tastes in music, movies- with the exception of him thinking Dumb and Dumber is the best comedy. But he’s also a foster kid just like me.” She finished the flower and began to create beautiful green leaves for it on the chocolate icing of the cake. She smiled. “He’s great too; he has the greatest sense of humor too and he can do really good Adam Sandler impressions.”<br>
Piper smiled at Zoey as she watched her decorate the cake. She had grown real close to Zoey. It was as she was her own daughter. Zoey would come to her for advice on everything from boys to what she should wear. It made Piper feel grateful that someone still needed her aside from her son. With Phoebe married and living with Jason and Paige always out with Glenn, the house got lonely. With Zoey there, Piper had someone to talk to.

“Mmm…dinner smells fabulous,” Paige commented as she and Glenn entered the kitchen hand in hand smiling. “Oh is that our dessert?” she said as she walked over to Zoey where she was busy adding coffee icing to the cake.

“Yup, it’s our espresso chocolate cake,” she said with a smile.

“Wow Martha,” Glenn teased. “Hey, got any trading secrets?”<br>
“Nope not today I’m afraid,” Zoey went along with a bright smile. Glenn messed with her hair and she swatted him away.

“Alright people!” Piper said. “Sit down, dinner’s ready.”<br>
“Piper, this roast came out delicious,” Jason complimented as he shoved another fork full of the tender meat into his mouth and washed it down with some iced tea.

“Thanks,” Piper said with an appreciative smile. “I was experimenting.”<br>
“Well it’s great,” Leo said and kissed his wife on the forehead.

Glenn smiled warmly at Paige and she smiled back at him brightly. She then glanced around at her family who were busy eating and enjoying themselves. “Um, Glenn and I have something that we’d like to share with you,” Paige said loud enough so that everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention onto the young couple. Glenn smiled at Paige then glanced at her sisters. “Should I tell them?”<br>
“They’re your family,” Glenn said with a sweet smile.
“Tell us what?” Zoey asked curiously.

Paige hesitated and glanced at Glenn and then at her family. “Glenn and I are engaged,” she said excitedly holding up her left hand and revealing the beautiful engagement ring.

Piper’s jaw dropped. “Oh my God! That’s wonderful honey!” she said.

“I know!” Paige replied giddily.

“Congratulations you two!” Phoebe exclaimed and hugged her sister and Glenn. She then turned to everyone else. “Wow, tonight’s just full of good new then.”<br>
“What do you mean?” Paige asked curiously.

Phoebe smiled and walked over behind her husband and put her hands on his shoulders and gave them a gentle squeeze. Jason looked up at her and smiled then looked at their family. “We’re pregnant,” he said. “Phoebe is…but you know what I mean.”<br>
“What?!” Paige exclaimed. “When were you going to tell us this?”<br>
Phoebe grinned guiltily. “I wanted everyone to be here when I said the news.”<br>
“Oh my gosh, Phoebe’s going to be a mom!” Paige said with a big grin as she hugged her sister tightly.

“Paige, can’t be good for the baby right?” Phoebe said breathlessly.

Paige smiled sheepishly. “Right; congratulations you guys. Yay, I’m going to be an auntie to three!”<br>
Leo smiled and patted Jason on the back. “Congratulations man. You’re going to love being a father.”<br>
Jason smiled brightly. “I just can’t believe I’m going to be someone’s dad.”<br>

[CrazyCharmedGirl03]

That was a nice little chapter I'm so happy that Phoebe is going to be a mom and Im glad that you brought Glen back to be with Paige I always thought they should be together.

Chris sighed as he played with the scrambled eggs that Bianca had served him. He didn’t feel much like eating. He hadn’t heard from Wyatt in almost six days now. Not that it wouldn’t usually bug him but this was different.

Their last meeting had gone awry. Chris had attacked him. He didn’t know why he did, Wyatt was clearly the more powerful and stronger one yet he acted on impulse and it could have been the death of him. He knew it would eventually be and that’s what made Wyatt’s lack of contact all the more frustrating. He didn’t know when Wyatt would sneak up behind him.

He was becoming paranoid. Jumping at the slightest sound and gasping if someone bumped into him. For all he knew this was part of Wyatt’s sick twisted plan. To psyche Chris out and then attack. To give him a false sense of security and then rip that away from him. You could never be too careful with Wyatt.

Not to mention the fact that he and Cole had been working together: something he never thought imaginable. The two worked on ways to stop Wyatt from getting the Hallow. Since Cole had been the Source, the Hallow had disappeared and no one knew where it was. Wyatt had his minions scouring the globe for it but had been unsuccessful. Cole and Chris thought to look for the Hallow their selves and make sure that Wyatt never found it. They would relay this information to the resistance but thought that the less people who knew about it, the better at keeping it a secret from Wyatt.

In the time that Chris worked with Cole, he saw how screwed up things really were. Zoey took pleasure in torturing others and talked about her kills with an innocent amusement in her voice. She also talked oddly too. One minute she would be cranky and the next she would be cheerful and her little attacks were so much worse. The serum Cole injected her with soothed her pain. But Chris felt as if it just made her worse because after she took it she would sleep for hours then wake only to be in trance like states.

“Aren’t you going to eat?” Bianca asked curiously as she flipped the page in the newspaper.

Chris nodded but played with his eggs, swashing them around in his syrup from the pancakes. Suddenly there was a zing sound and in a flash of blue light an envelope appeared in mid air and fell to the table. Chris grabbed it and looked at it. His face turned grim.

“What does he want now?” Bianca asked scared.
“I need to leave; we both need to leave.” Before they had a chance to get up they were dissolved into a swirl of blue and white orbs.

“Hello Chris; Bianca, good to see you again,” Wyatt said with a sly smile when they appeared in the large conservatory.

“What do you want asshole?” Bianca demanded. Chris threw a look at her. Was she trying to kill them?
Wyatt laughed. “You always had a way with words,” he said looking at her. His blue eyes seeming to burn into the depths of her dark brown eyes. “I just want to get along.”<br>
“Then why don’t you kill yourself?” Bianca tested.
Wyatt narrowed his eyes at her. “I love when women are feisty. Which is why I brought you both a present.” The doors opened and Zoey entered the room smiling mischievously. “Think of it as a reunion.”<br>
Bianca glared at the girl as she entered the conservatory.

“We’re not jealous are we?” Wyatt tested with a slight smile. He then turned to Chris. “I believe you’ve already been reacquainted with Zoey a few times now haven’t you Chris?”<br>
Bianca gave Chris a sharp look but Chris didn’t see it because he sent Wyatt flying across the room with a powerful volt of electricity that sent him crashing into the bookshelf and breaking it. “You son of a bitch!” Chris said in a violent voice. “What the hell did she ever do to you?” he was about to charge at Wyatt but Zoey grabbed him by the neck smiling playfully.

“Ah, ah, lover. Play nice,” she said and tossed him simply into Bianca and knocking her down to the cold hard marble ground. Chris got up and sent Zoey telepathically crashing into the wall. He then ran over to Wyatt who was picking himself up and kicked him in the face, causing his nose to bleed.

“You tortured her!” he yelled and punched Wyatt. Wyatt blocked his next punch and punched Chris down to the ground.

“So what if I did,” Wyatt said. “In a way, you did too didn’t you?”<br>
With that Chris sent Wyatt flying across the room so hard with the extra strength of his telekinesis that Wyatt broke through the wall and ended up in the dining room. “You did this to her!” he yelled and sent volts of electricity at him one after another. “You’re the reason why she’s this way!”<br>
Wyatt managed to deflect his power and then with a wave of his hand Chris flew out the window.

Bianca swung her fist at Zoey again but again she missed the Amazon. Zoey was too quick for her. Zoey laughed as Bianca kept trying to make contact with her body. Finally Bianca lit an energy ball and threw it at Zoey then shimmered while Zoey deflected it and came from behind her and grabbed onto the Amazon. Zoey slammed her head back into Bianca’s nose and then grabbed the Phoenix and tossed her over her shoulder and onto the ground.

Bianca quickly regained position and swung a kick at her but Zoey caught her leg in mid swing and swung Bianca into the wall. She then walked over to Bianca and picked her up by the hair but Bianca threw a punch at her. Zoey caught her fist in her hand and squeezed crushing Bianca’s bones and breaking them through the skin.

“Aww, is this too much for you?” Zoey said with a smile as she watched the blood from Bianca’s fist ooze over her hand and down Bianca’s arm. Zoey the twisted Bianca’s arm simply and broke it. Bianca screamed out in pain. Zoey picked the Phoenix up and threw her into the broken table but Bianca shimmered and didn’t reappear.

“Where could the Phoenix be?” Zoey wondered playfully as she walked around the room. “Come out; come out wherever you are Phoenix.” When Zoey turned she gasped as the atheme slid easily into her flesh and punctured her lungs. Her eyes flashed violet and Bianca smiled looking straight into the Amazon’s eyes. Zoey soon lost the color in her face. A trace of blue spider like streams appeared under the skin and spread over her face, causing the girl to jolt and scream, her face now going from stark white to a purplish color.

Wyatt heard the screams coming from the conservatory and ran back inside, Chris followed close behind him. When they reached into the conservatory, Zoey’s body was going into violent convulsions and suddenly burst into vibrant green flames.

“No!” Chris shouted as he ran over to her but her body disintegrated into ashes as soon as he reached her. Chris looked at the pile of ashes in disbelief. How could she have done this? He then looked at Bianca and when he did, her face was contorted with pain and her hands held onto her throat. That’s when he noticed that her dark red blood was trickling down from her neck and she fell to her knees then to her side. Her eyes wide and lifeless. Chris sent a powerful volt of energy at Wyatt and sent Wyatt flying outside. He got up from the ground and began marching over to Wyatt when suddenly Cole appeared, grabbed him and shimmered them out.

[CrazyCharmedGirl03]

OMG!!!! That was great I can't believe Bianca got Zoey and then you turn around and Bianca gets it. In the end both the girls Chris loved died (man thats gotta hurt).

What a cliffhanger please hurry and update soon I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

“Get the hell off of me!” Chris yelled fighting Cole off of him. “Get the f**k off of me!” he yelled at the top of his lungs.
“Stop this!” Cole yelled as he shook Chris fiercely. “I said stop!” he then punched Chris in the jaw which caused Chris to stop and look at him. He then broke down into tears. “I couldn’t save them,” he said through his tears then took a vase and threw it across the loft, it shattered on contact with the wall. “I couldn’t save them and he killed them!”<br>Cole just watched him and then wiped his tears away from his face. “You can still save them,” he said. Chris looked at him. “Go back. Fight harder.”<br>Chris shook his head. “What good has it done?” he demanded. “I already tried and now Bianca’s dead. What’s there to fight for?”<br>“God damn it Chris!” Cole exclaimed harshly. “You’re not the only one who lost someone you love. I just lost my wife. If you care about Bianca you won’t stop until you save her.”<br>Chris sighed and looked at Cole and shook his head. “Don’t you dare say you loved Zoey. If you did she’d be alive.”<br>Cole grabbed Chris by the shirt collar and slammed him into the wall. “Listen here you little sh!t. She was my wife. I married her because I loved her and wanted to save her. Not everything’s about you. You understand that? So before you go around acting like the center of the universe just remember that the rest of the world is still suffering and that your beloved Phoenix is also dead.”<br>Chris glared at Cole and pushed him away. He punched the wall and yelled out in frustration., the plaster of the wall cutting up his knuckles.

“And that concludes the tour of manor,” Zoey said as she led Keith down the stair case. She looked up at him. “I would show you the small excuse of a yard but it’s raining.”<br>
Keith smiled and took her hands in his. “So then you live in the yard?”<br>
Zoey smiled and shook her head. “No, in the basement.”<br>
Keith raised his eyebrows at her. “Is there something I should know about you then? Like are you really one of those psycho kids that their parents have no choice to lock up in the basement?”<br>
She shook her head. “Uh-uh; more like I turn into a hideous creature at sunset.”<br>
“Oh, I dated one of those before.” The two laughed and Zoey led him into the kitchen where Piper was feeding Wyatt. “Hey handsome!” she said and kissed his soft blonde hair.

“Hi Zoey,” Wyatt replied with a smile. He looked at Keith. “Who are you?”<br>
Keith smiled. “My name’s Keith. What’s yours?”<br>
“Wyatt Matthew Halliwell,” he introduced.

“Wow Piper, that’s some introduction,” Keith said petting Wyatt on the head.

“I know. He kept asking me if he had a middle name. One of the kids at his day care had one and he needed to know if he did too. Now whenever he talks to someone he says his full name.” She smiled at Wyatt and tapped his nose with her fore finger. She then turned to Zoey. “Paige wants to take some pictures, do you mind?” Piper asked.

“No problem; come on,” she said taking Keith’s hand. She led him down the basement stairs and into her room. “This is my room. Happy now?”<br>
Keith looked around the place and smiled. “Happy. Wow, that’s some cd collection you’ve got going on,” he said as he approached the shelf full of CDs.

“Yeah, I started it like in the seventh grade. I kept everyone mostly.”<br>
“I see; The Spice Girls.”<br>
“Girl power baby, it’s all about the equalization of the sexes,” Zoey replied as she pulled out her camera then turned to Keith who was watching her with a smile. “What?”<br>
Keith shook his head. “Nothing; It’s just that I found out you’re a closet boy band fanatic,” he replied holding up Nsync, Backstreet Boys, 98 degrees and the Justin Timberlake CD.

Zoey tried to grab the CDs out of his hand. “Give me those!” she said trying not to laugh as he pulled them away from her.

“Have you no shame?” he teased. “Come on, 98 degrees?”<br>
“Hey, that band kicked ass,” Zoey justified.
Keith laughed. “Oh yes they did. That’s why they broke up.”<br>
“Just give them to me!” she said grabbing for them again and backing him into her bookshelf. She laughed as he kept switching hands with the CDs. “You’re just jealous because you know pop rocks.”<br>
“Oh yes, I’m so jealous I might just have my own Justified record in the works.”<br>
“Well if you have a good hit then…” Keith kissed her lips just then and she forgot what she was going to say.
Keith broke the kiss after a while and looked at her. Zoey smiled at him and then grabbed the CDs out of his hand, placed them on the shelf and kissed him again.
******
Leo tapped his champagne glass bring all attention onto him. “I’d like to make a toast,” he began holding up his champagne. They were all gathered around in the conservatory on the couches and on some of the chairs that they had brought in from the dining room.

Tonight, Piper came up with the idea of throwing a congratulations party for both of her sisters. She had prepared a special dinner and Zoey was in charge of the drinks, desert- delicious chocolate mouse by Phoebe’s request and fruit pastries by Paige’s request, along with the photos. Zoey took a couple of more pictures before putting the camera down and holding up her apple cider.

“Congratulations to both Phoebe and Paige for their happiness. To Phoebe: I wish you health for you and your baby. Also, just so you know, I’m not a baby sitter so don’t get any ideas.” Laughs came from the rest of the family which only consisted of Piper, Zoey, Glenn, Paige, Leo, Phoebe, Jason and Keith. "And to my beautiful wife, I love you so much and am so proud to be both your husband and father to our children.”

Everyone then toasted each other and gave a few comments to each other.
Keith smiled at Zoey and then put his drink down. “I’ve got to get going. I’ve got a busy day tomorrow.” He got up and addressed the sisters. “Thank you for inviting me to dinner tonight.”<br>
“Anytime Keith,” Piper said with a smile and gave him a hug. “Did you want to take some of the desert home with you?”<br>
Keith smiled. “Zoey already gave me some thanks.” Piper nodded and Zoey walked Keith to the door.

“Thanks for coming,” she said as they stopped at the front door. She smiled at him warmly.

[wickedamazon]

Suddenly, a blue portal opened in the conservatory. Piper raised her hands but put them down as she saw Chris come out from the portal that closed behind him quickly. “Chris?” she said confused.

Leo looked at him. “What happened?”<br>
Chris looked at everyone in the room and sighed. “I needed to come back.”<br>
Paige looked at him sympathetically. “It can’t be that bad, can it?” He didn’t have to say anything because Paige, along with the others knew that it was. “Well the bright side is that you’re safe.”<br>
“Paige’s right Chris,” Phoebe jumped in. “That’s all that matters to us.” She placed a hand on Chris’ shoulder. “Are you alright?”<br>
“NO, not really,” he managed to say. He couldn’t believe that now he was back where he started. Everything was gone and he had to start from scratch in hopes that he actually succeeded this time.

“Well, do you want something to eat? We’ve got some lasagna still and French bread.”<br>
Chris shook his head. “Thanks, but if you don’t mind, I’m just going to go to my apartment…” he paused and looked at Piper.

“I haven’t touched a thing yet. Everything’s still there,” she replied.

Chris nodded and left the room.



“So I’ll call you tomorrow?” Keith said with a smile as he tucked her hair behind her ear.

Zoey smiled and nodded. She then leaned in and kissed his lips sweetly, wrapping her arms around his neck. She liked kissing him. It felt good and it just felt right. If it didn’t, she would’ve told him when he first kissed her earlier that evening. Things just seemed to melt away when she kissed him and that made her heart race.
“Goodnight Zoey,” Keith said and kissed her lips twice more before leaving.

Zoey smiled to herself as she closed the door. She closed her eyes and leaned against the door and played with her heart shaped locket still smiling. When she opened her eyes she gasped at the sight of Chris. “Oh my God!” she said placing a hand to her chest; she lost her balanced and stumbled over but picked herself up quickly.. She looked at him confused and angry at the same time.

“Hey,” he said quietly as he put his hands into his jacket pockets.

Zoey laughed nervously and shook her head. “This can’t be happening,” she said to herself. She looked at him. “You’re supposed to be gone.”<br>
“It’s nice to see you too,” Chris replied coolly. He then looked at her softly as he remembered what happened right before he came back.

Zoey sighed and grabbed her jacket and walked out the door. “This is just great,” she mumbled to herself, completly forgetting about the fact that it was raining.
“Zoey!” Chris yelled out over the noise of the rain as he ran down the street to catch up with her. She could walk abnormally fast when she wanted to get away. “Zoey!” he said and grabbed hold of her arm. She was soaking wet now, her hair flat against her face.

She yanked her arm away from him. “Let go!” she demanded. “What are you doing here? Why, are you even talking to me right now? I haven’t forgotten what a coward you were when you just upped and left without trying to patch things up.”<br>
Chris sighed. “I’m sorry.”<br>
“No Chris, I’m sorry is played out for you now. You’re always sorry.” She shook her head. “You know…” she stopped at the sight of him. He was pale and looked like he had the crap beaten out of him. She then noticed that his right hand was bandaged up in white cloth. “Oh my god, you’re bleeding,” she said taking hold of his hand.

“Forget about it, it’s nothing,” Chris said.

Zoey didn’t let go of him, instead she kept examining his hand. “Chris, what happened to you?”<br>
“I failed ok?” he snapped irritated. “I failed trying to save the future. Of course I did,” he laughed. “What was I thinking that coming back here would change anything?” He shook his head. “I don’t even know where I went wrong.”<br>
“Chris, I’m sure you’ll find a way to…” he hugged her suddenly which caught her off guard.

“Everything’s even more screwed up than when I first came here,” he said holding her close to him. “I lost everything.”<br>
Zoey hesitated before hugging him back. “Hey, you have done a lot. I’m sure that it can’t be that bad.”<br>“It is. Everything’s colder and more complicated. I lost Bianca, I lost you,” he said.

“What are you talking about?” Zoey asked with a small smile. “I’m right he….oh.”<br>
For a while they stood there on the sidewalk like that. The rain came down harder now but still they didn't move. “I don’t know what I’m going to do,” Chris said pulling away from her and looking down at her with soft eyes.

Zoey sighed. “You fight harder; you don’t give up. If you give up you lose everything.”<br>
“That’s easy for you to say,” he mumbled as he looked across the street.

Zoey took his injured hand in hers and unwrapped the bandage and then mumbled a few words and blew gently onto his knuckles and the wound healed slowly.
She looked up at him and smiled faintly. “I’ll help you; whatever it takes I’ll do what I can to help.”<br>
Chris shook his head. “How can you act so kind to me after all I’ve done to you?”<br>
Zoey looked up at him, “Because I believe that everything happens for a reason and everything will work itself out in the end.” She smiled at him and kissed his hand which was still in hers. “I want to help you.”<br>
Chris shook his head. “I still don’t get how you can treat me kindly after the crap I put you through.”<br>
Zoey smiled faintly and playfully punched him in the arm. “Don’t give yourself all the credit; some of it was my fault too.”<br>
Chris just looked at her then hugged her again. “So…who was that?”<br>
“Don’t push it Perry; we’re not that friendly yet,” Zoey said pulling away from him. “Besides, don’t you have a future to save? How about we get out of this weather, maybe get something to eat and discuss the game plan?”<br>
Chris hesitated before agreeing. He watched her as she began to lead the way. She could never know what lays ahead in front of her, he thought. He’d be damned if he lost her again. This time, he wasn’t going to lose anyone. At least, not if he followed the plan that Cole and the Resistance had come up with. Soon, he’d have a future to go back to; one that wasn’t so cold and dark.

This is a different future fic. I like it, who knew that Chris wasn't Wyatt's brother! Post more!

[melindaavatar]

I don't get it. Chris is Wyatt's brother, not his best friend. Did you do that on purpose?
