I don't own charmed or any of its characters. The story is set before anyone has any idea who Chris really is.
The sound of rock music could be heard outside as people lined up to enter one of San Francisco's well-known clubs known as P3. Music is playing and drinks are flowing as people enjoy themselves. But not everyone is having fun, in a dark corner of the club Chris Perry sits alone watching the people around him. As he takes in his surroundings his gaze stops when he sees the three sisters, the Charmed Ones, the most powerful witches of this time.
Lately the sisters have been on his case more than ever and it's getting on his nerves.
"Why can't they just leave me alone and trust that I'm doing the right thing!" Chris said out loud to no one in particular.
He sighs in frustration and quickly heads for the exit, unnoticed by the sisters. Once outside, Chris searches for an area where he could orb without being seen. He quickly spots a good place around the corner and heads over there before someone walks by. Before he could orb, an angry voice catches his attention.
"Get over here girl!" the unknown voice called.
Quickly Chris ran in the direction the voice was coming from. He neared a corner and the voice got louder. Cautiously he peered around the corner and saw man approaching a girl that looked be in her early twenties. She is fairly tall with light brown hair. Chris continued to watch as the man held out his hand and an energy ball was conjured.
"You're dead witch!" the demon stated.
Just as Chris was about to jump to the rescue, he stopped suddenly when he noticed the girl's reaction to this demon. To Chris's surprise, the girl wasn't scared at all. She didn't even look threatened. She looked deep into the demon's eye and suddenly his energy ball just vanished as if the demon had done it himself.
"What?! What's happening?" the demon questioned as a smirk formed on the girl's face.
The girl continued to focus on the demon and then something happened that surprised both Chris and the demon. A reddish light began to emit from the girl's forehead. Her hair began to wave as if this light was disturbing the air around that area. The light collected together and formed a golf ball sized orb.
Fear overcame the demon as he took a few cautious steps away from the girl. Without flinching the reddish orb shot off towards the demon hitting him in the head. The demon flew back and landed into a few trashcans that were nearby.
Chris decided to stay back and watch as he saw the girl could take care of herself. The demon slowly came to his feet and at the same moment the girl formed another orb and shot it at the demon hitting him once again. This time instead of being thrown back he erupted into flames and all that was left were his ashes.
The girl slowly walked to the spot where the ashes of her vanquish were piled. Unaware that another demon appeared behind her. He pulled an athame from his jacket and silently approached the girl.
"Behind you!" Chris cried when he finally came out of hiding.
The girl quickly turned towards the demon and then her attention went to Chris. Chris waved his arm as he threw the demon into the alley wall. The girl quickly ran to Chris's side as the demon recovered from the throw. The reddish light once again caught Chris's attention as he turned to face the girl. Her attention however was focused on the demon as she shot off her orb. Just like before the demon burst into flames as the ball hit him in the head.
"Thanks" the girl whispered to Chris, her eyes looking down not bothering to look at Chris.
"No problem..." Chris replied looking at the girl. "Um, my names Chris" he added.
For the first time the girl looked into Chris's eyes and was amazed at what she saw but her amazement soon turned into sadness. Tears filled her eyes as she kept gazing into his eyes.
"Oh my god, are you alright?" Chris asked concerned. "Did that demon hurt you?" Chris continued to ask as the tears were shed.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just scared I guess." The girl finally answered, but Chris wasn't too convinced if she was telling him the truth. But he couldn't blame her, they just met.
"I'm Jessie." Her tears stopped as she wiped the remainder of her tears away with her hand.
"It's nice to meet you Jessie" Chris replied extending his hand.
Jessie looked at his hand for a few seconds, slowly she brought her hand up and slowly placed her hand into his and they both greeted each other. Without warning Jessie's tears returned and she fell to her knees.
"Are you sure you're alright, you don't look like it." Chris asked again slowly helping her to her feet.
"Yeah, I'm fine" she replied.
"Listen, let me take you to my house and we can figure out why those guys are after you." Chris said
"Is this how you get the girls to go home with you?" Jessie replied with a smirk on her face. Chris laughed but also he was surprise by her remark. Two seconds ago she was so shy and now he just couldn't read her.
Once again, Chris held out his hand for her, "This is the fastest way to my house." Jessie gave him a funny look and unsure of what is fixing to happen but she trusted him and took his hand. Blue light and blue orbs surrounded them and when they dispersed and disappeared Jessie found herself not in an alley but in a living room.
She took in her surrounding and finally turned back to Chris, "Nice place" Jessie said with a smile.
"Thanks, but it's not really mine, I'm just staying with the family here" Chris replied.
"Uh huh" was all Jessie could say. Chris notices she had this funny look on her face when she reacted to his answer.
"What?" Chris questioned her reaction
"Oh nothing."
"Well let's head upstairs..." As Chris said this Jessie gave him a questionable look, "upstairs to the attic, where we could find out who your attackers were." Chris finished and her expression changed to a smile.
The two headed upstairs towards the attic. On the way, Chris stopped in to check on Wyatt but the little baby wasn't there. Chris began to panic and then he remembered that Leo took him "Up There".
When they reached the attic, Chris quickly went to the Book of Shadows and began flipping through the pages. As he was searching for the demons, Jessie explored the attic.
"Chris?" Jessie called getting Chris's attention.
"Yeah?" Chris replied looking up from the book.
"What are you?" Jessie said bluntly, "sorry didn't mean to say it like that, but I don't know of a witch that could orb?"
"Oh that, I'm half white lighter and half witch" Chris replied with a grin, "Speaking of powers, what was the cool thing you did with the ...." Without finishing his sentence, instead he pointed to his forehead.
"I'm an Empath, and the thing I did with my head, I call that an Empath Blast" Jessie replied, Chris was confused.
"Wait an Empath? One of the women that live here is an Empath but she can't do what you did back there." Chris stated trying to clarify things.
"Well, it's an advance form of my Empath powers. I can focus an emotion into the orb and hit someone with it. Whatever the emotion, that's what they are gonna feel." Jessie replied. But Chris was still confused.
Jessie decided instead of trying to explain her powers she would show him. She ran through her head all the feelings she could think of and then came to one. She focused the feeling of being blinded until the familiar light emitted from her head. Chris began to panic when he realized what she was about to do to him. She shot off the orb and he hit Chris before he could move.
Chris looked at Jessie in shock and then his vision became fuzzy and then all turned dark.
"Hey, what's happening, I can't see! I can't see!" Chris began to panic.
Jessie formed another orb and hit Chris with it. As quickly as his vision left it returned almost immediately after the second orb.
"Now do you understand my power."? Jessie asked.
"Yeah I think so, you can manipulate people's feelings right?" Chris asked
"Yep" Jessie said with a smile.
"Can I ask you another question?" Chris asked looking into her eyes.
"Sure."
"What about the energy ball, did you do that too?" Chris asked again
"Yeah, demons use anger to conjure energy balls, so I just altered his emotions so he couldn't focus anger and the energy ball went with it." Jessie replied.
"Oh?" Chris replied but still confused.
"Why were you crying back there?" Chris asked.
Jessie looked at Chris uncertain if she wants to answer this question, "Your pain, I just couldn't block it out it was so much." Jessie finally answered after a long pause. Chris's attention went back to the book trying to hide what was already shown. Jessie could sense this. Unlike Phoebe, Jessie's empathy powers were her first and only powers so they were a lot stronger than Phoebe's.
"You don't have to hide it Chris, at least not from me." Jessie said trying to comfort him.
"I probably couldn't even if I tried." Chris stated forcing a small smile on his face.
"You wanna talk about it?" Jessie asked walking over to Chris, his attention still on the Book.
"Not really....at least not yet." Chris replied
"Whenever you're ready, I'm here for you." Jessie said, "Just like you were there for me in the alley." She continued placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Any luck with the demons?"
"No, probably just some low level demons that aren't worth being in the Book." Chris replied.
"Oh, well maybe you're right." Jessie said "Chris, it's getting pretty late, do you mind orbing me home?" Jessie asked.
"Sure no problem" Chris said finally looking up from the book. Chris took her hand in his once again and orbed them to her apartment.
"If you need anything just let me know." Chris said before he prepared to leave. Before he could Jessie pulled him into a hug. Surprised at first but he quickly returned the hug.
"Thank you Chris" Jessie said before pulling back from the hug.
"You're welcome" Chris said before orbing back to the manor.
