Fallen Angels

Chapter One – The grave of Piper Halliwell

Chris Halliwell was 15; Wyatt Halliwell was 17, and Leo Wyatt. Piper Halliwell's death was exactly one year ago from this very day. The three men went to her grave sight…she was buried right next to her sister, Prudence Halliwell. Chris who took the death the hardest looked at the metal plate which bears his mothers name. He touched it, holding his tears back. He placed a red rose with two small rose buds in the floral cup. He stepped back, and stood high against to his brother. Wyatt looked at his brother gazed which was locked at the metal plate. He put his arm around his brother and looked at it.
"Mom would have been proud." Wyatt said has he been looking at Chris and the other half looking at his mother's grave.
"She would." Chris said silently. As he walked forward and kissed the plate and walked away. Wyatt watched his brother…the symbolism was amazing. As his brother walked away he heard him sniffle. Wyatt then turned to his father who had been silent throughout the duration of the event.
"How are you doing?" Wyatt asked

Leo seemed to be knocked out of a daze. "Oh Wy, I am fine." He said putting his hands in his pockets.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, I am fine. Why don't you go check up on Chris, I'd like to say a few words." Leo said with the up most respect.
"No problem." Wyatt said, he walked forward, kissed his fingers and then placed it on the grave. "I love you mom…I am getting use to this, I miss you so much." He walked off.

Leo stepped forward, and placed his hand on the grave. It was not suppose to be like this.
"Piper," he said, "Remember when you said I would be missing so much…well look at you." He said with a slight laugh, "I am sorry. I miss you so much!" He said as a tears came to his eyes, "Wyatt and Chris try to be strong, but I know what they go through everyday, it kills me. Chris has got a handle on reality, and he's doing better in school again. The boys have gotten very close since…since you're death." He said as he choked, "I am a whitelighter again!" He said with a smile, "Paige was promoted to Elder after what happened, and Phoebe is now writing for the entire west coast." He said looking at her name. "So I am here with the boys. Paige and the rest of the Elders have granted me only part time for now, until I feel ready to come back…which I am on Monday. The boys seem alright, Wyatt is on the football team again and Chris is on the swim team. Don't worry I won't miss a game or a meet. I love you baby…take care okay." He leaned forward and did like Chris and kissed the plate and walked off.

Chris walked around the mausoleum and then found a corner and let his emotions take over like they did so many times before. He gripped the wall, he couldn't do this anymore. It took him so long to get out of the rut he was in and going back there wasn't an option. He had a swim meet in two days. His first one. He had been practicing all week, but just the pain of his mother not being there killed him. He tightened his grip on the wall as tears burned his eyes. He tried so hard to hold them back.

Wyatt walked, as he turned the corner he saw his brother standing in a corner gripping the wall. "Chris." He said under his breath. He slowly walked up, he could hear him sniffling. Wyatt wiped a tear from his own eye and walked up.

"Chris." Wyatt said placing his hands on his brother's shoulders. Chris opened his eyes and felt Wyatt placing his hands on him. He moved his shoulders and stepped forward. "Don't, please."

"Okay." Wyatt said, watching his brother let go of the wall and walk forward. Chris rubbed his hands on his jeans and standing alone. He looked at the marble ground, it was something easy to look at…then it came blurry and soaked. He closed his eyes and rubbed the tears from them. He sighed hard, and looked at the ceiling.

"Its okay." Wyatt said coming up and standing next to his brother.
"No it's not." Chris said.
"It was her time-"
"But I killed her."
"No you didn't…none of us didn't know this could have happened. Please don't blame yourself Christopher."
Chris' green eyes looked into his brothers ocean blue eyes. "I do…and nothing you can say will change that." Chris was about to hug his brother for comfort then heard his father coming over.

"Hey boys my charge is screaming, are you two gonna be okay? You need money for dinner?" Leo said walking up.
"No we're fine." Wyatt said, "I got some money for Chinese or something."
"Alright. Bye guys." Leo said orbing out.

Chris then closed his eyes and broke down. He couldn't believe what happened and especially today of all days. He didn't believe it. He walked to the wall and sat down on a stone bench.
"Chris, no. It's okay." Wyatt said.
"No it's not that…he didn't say Goodbye to me…he said it to you, but not to me." He said with tears dropping from his eyes.
"Oh."
"And he also forgot."
"Forgot what?"
"Today is my birthday."
