Chapter 3 Explain

Leo was now trying to control his breathing after hearing what Chris had revealed. Piper, Pheobe and Paige were still clueless and waiting for more of an explanation of what it was. Chris was waiting for Leo to catch his breath while he grabbed his daughter from her sister.

Once he noticed Leo was almost ready to speak he decided to go ahead and explain more things. "Essentia is Latin for essence. Essentia beings are beings that represent anything such as the elements, a race or population, an aspect of life. They are the core of what they represent and have power over it. Barbas is the Essentia for fear and Cupids are the Essentias for love. The thing is that unlike them, other Essentias stay hidden because if they were to die, then what ever they represent would follow along with it. So if one for water were to die then all the water on earth would disappear."

"Then why does fear still exist if we vanquish Barbas all the time," Paige asked.

"Because you don't really kill him. He just goes back to purgatory, which is another plane, so he still exists. So fear will always be around. Now as for Venustas, since she is the Essentia of death, it would make it that she can never die since it is a paradox of it's own. She dies, then death doesn't exist and which would make her come back to life for her to continue her role." Chris said.

"I know that not much is known about Essentias but I know for sure there has never been an Essentia that represented death." Leo questioned.

"It is because her mother was an Angel of Death. I had met Bella when we were 15 before magic was exposed. We started a relationship after getting to know each other for a while. We loved each other deeply and were each others support when war broke out. She gave her life for our daughter." He whispered the last part while smiling at his daughter in his arms.

"So she controls death and is that how she killed that demon, with her touch of death? Does it also mean she could bring people back from the dead?" Paige wondered.

"She came into that power when she was one and a demon found her. I had been off by a minute but she grabbed onto the demons hand before it could stab her and it fell over dead. After that, I taught her on how to control it. I don't know about bringing others back from death though." Chris said

"Okay now that we know about who these people are. What are they doing here?" Piper said trying to take control and find out some more things.

"That is something I don't know yet." Chris said now wondering about that also while looking at the latest guests from the future. "But I am going to find out when we get back to my place."

"Why, don't we deserve to know why they are here also?" Pheobe questioned her whitelighter.

"That is going to be decided after I find out what it is and make sure it would not interfere and change the timeline." Chris answered.

"What but why?" Paige whined.

Chris used his favor fraise. "Future Consequences."

"I am tired of that excuse. Now you are going to tell me about the future or else." Piper's anger came back.

" Sorry but I cant. Don't even think of trying to get anything out of the girls either." Chris supplied.

"And why not?" Leo joined the conversation."

"Spell" Chris said simply

"What do you mean?" Pheobe asked.

"Dad means that we are under a spell that prevents us from revealing anything that we have no authority on doing. It prevents us from saying anything even if we are being tortured for it or under the most powerful truth spell. We can never reveal anything we are not suppose to." Hope spoke up.

"So it would be a waste of time just trying to get things out of you and that must mean we have been wasting our time on getting it out of Chris." Paige said disappointed that they would not be getting anything out of the travelers.

"Actually my brother is the only one not under the spell. Out of everyone in our family, and I mean our whole family, even back a few generations, he is the only one that can keep his mouth shut without spilling a word of info that he doesn't want to. I mean he hid a baby girl for three years without any of his family even knowing about her." Mel said which caused Chris to smile.

"And I am going to keep it that way so it will useless for you guys trying to find out anything on the future." Chris added.

"No, No, NO, NO!! If you are going to be here then you are going to tell us what secrets you have. I don't care about future consequences. You are going to tell us everything."

"We cant Piper, we cannot risk the future." Chris said.

"Isn't that why you guys are here, to change the future you come from. So telling us some things wont hurt." Pheobe said

"Come on Chris, just tell us what you are trying to hide." Leo pitched in.

"You're an Elder and are above a whitelighter. Don't go and have me telling you what to do. You know the rules and risks of time travel." Chris scowled him causing Leo to frown.

"I don't care about the rules. I want to know the truth and you are going to tell me about the future." Piper said fueled by anger.

"How many times do I have to say I cant."

"Cant or wont. Just tell us so we can help and figure things out. The sooner you're done, the sooner you're out of here." Pheobe said.

"It's CANT. How many times do I have to say you cannot know the future." Chris said losing his patience.

"Just tell us Chris, what is the worst that can happen." Paige just threw in not realizing what she said.

"Let me ask you, do you recognize the name Melinda?" Chris said calmly trying to control his emotions.

"Our ancestor?" Paige questioned "The one that started the Halliwell line. What does she have to do with this."

"Wrong relative." Chris said focusing on Piper. "You should know someone else that had that name."

Piper glared at him though she was still a bit clueless. "What are you talking about?"

"I am talking about a certain time where you and your sisters went to the future. It was before you knew about Paige. What did you see." He said

Pheobe and Piper finally knew who he was talking about. Paige and Leo still were confused. "Piper what is he talking about?" Leo said.

"When we went to the future… that one time with Prue. Prue and I met a little girl named Melinda….She was our daughter." She said thinking about the little girl.

"A daughter that does not exist anymore. Knowing the future alters things and peoples lives will change. They may not exist if certain things do not happen. Are you willing to toy with other people's lives all to satisfy your damn curiosity." He said with venom while glaring at them.

"I cannot allow that to happen. My family and friends are dead because of stupid mistakes and greed. I am not going to let more die because you all are just want to know things. I am already risking my life to save your son and countless others. I have not even been conceived yet." Chris's anger now starting to recede.

Chris looked down at his little girl who was a bit tired. He turned to the other two girls behind him and nodded at them. "Now me and my family are leaving." He said and orbed out. Mel grabbed her older niece and followed him.

Chris and the rest of his family finally arrived at his apartment after orbing a few blocks away and walking there. He went to go put Ven down for a small nap in her room. The girl was tired after what had happened just today. He also noticed that Cory and Libby were waiting in the room for them. They must have come straight home after he disappeared with his daughter. He laid Ven down while the two pets came to cuddle next to her.

It was already close to three and they had missed lunch. He figured he should make an early dinner to make up for that. On his way to the kitchen, he found the other two females lounging around the living room. Hope was already asleep on the futon while his sister was sitting on the sofa. As he went into the kitchen she got up to follow him.

Chris pulled out a few pieces of boneless chicken and started to wash them before cutting them up. He knew that his sister was sitting in the seat by the table.

"How you feeling after your trip? I know Ven felt awful and I was a bit off when we came back." Chris said trying to see how she was doing.

"I am just fine but I think that Hope is very tired judging by the way she just fell asleep the moment she touched the chair. Now she is snoring showing sign of her being in a deep sleep." She said while smiling thinking about her niece.

"So you two are fine." Chris said while coming to sit across from her. Letting the pieces of chicken marinate in the sauce he whipped up. He grabbed onto her hand and stroke it. "Are you okay with seeing mom again."

Mel looked down when he mentioned their mother. She had not seen her in six years after her death. She loved her mother very much and when she died, Mel fell apart. The only one that not let their mothers death be a burden to them was Chris. Mel had felt depressed and sometimes suicidal while Wyatt fell to darkness. Chris tried so hard to support the two through the rough times when they could not rely on others. Chris was able to hold everything together which made a lot of people admire him for that.
Now that Mel saw her mother, she may relapse into her depression after having to leave her again and Chris was afraid of that. He will not let his sister fall apart after all the things she has been through.

"I am okay Chris. I should be asking you that question. From the way she spoke to you, I would say she has not been treating you all that well and you have been here for months while I only been here for a few minutes."

"I am doing fine but I am more worried about you. Piper is still our mom even if we are not born yet and I don't want you to get hurt in case something happens between all of us while in the past. I am also sorry for dragging you into the fight."

"Hey, not your fault, just think about it, I could have been the oldest instead of the youngest. I am glad though because I have you to always look out for me and I love you." Mel smiled widely at her older brother.

Chris got up and went to hug her, giving a kiss to the top of her head while she rested her head in his chest. He rubbed her back and held her close but then he remembered about something.

"Mel, why did you and Hope come back in the first place?" Chris asked but then felt her go stiff. Her body froze up and he decided to hold her tighter and whisper sweet words for her to calm down. "Don't worry sis, I am here." Nothings going to happen" "Everything is going to be great." "Hey beautiful, you okay." " Come on Mel, nothing to be afraid of. You are one of the bravest people there are."

Mel just dug her face into her brothers chest and held on to him tightly. After a minute she pulled back and took a big gulp of air. Chris drew her face to look up at him. "What's wrong Mel? You need to tell me so that I can be there for you."

Mel knew she had to tell him. " Mony had a vision." A tear was now falling down her face. "She saw Wyatt standing over your dead body in the attic." She said quickly while driving her face into his chest again.
