This is a spin-off of his creation, of which we're all thankful for. please do not plagiarize or anything. LOVE YA Chapter 26: Surge Melinda walked from room to room looking for her brothers or her best friend, but she found no one. She eventually wandered into Chris' room and found Chris and Drake naked and cuddled up, sleeping. Melinda smiled to herself, then she heard the phone ring and went to pick it up. - - - - - - - - - - I woke up next to Chris, who was still sleep. I smiled slowly and shifted, looking up at him. It was Chris Halliwell. My best friend and while I should be feeling nervous or jittery, I didn't feel like it was a mistake. I chuckled to myself at the future. The future didn't say anything about this and it should have. I'm not an idiot, I felt what was between us, but it had never...I never thought we'd push envelope. I felt like he was my brother. My sexy brother who I'd just... "Hey." Chris said, looking over to me. "Hey." I smiled, " You finally wake up?" "Yeah. After three times, I need some sleep." Chris smirked. "Lightweight." I joked, " So, what about the club?" Chris sighed, " I guess I have to go to the club." he said, getting up, " You don't mind, right?" "No." I smirked, " I'm good. I have to get to work anyways." "You sure?" he asked, zipping his pants. "Yeah." I said, sliding out of the bed, " So, do we need to talk about this?" I asked. "I think so, we need to be on the same page." Chris said, pulling on his shirt. "What page are we on?" I asked, " Are we hooking up to you, or was this a one night thing?" I asked "I don't know." Chris replied, " I've waited for that forever, but are we really meant for the long haul? Don't get me wrong, I would love to end up with you forever and have kids and everything, but..." "I know." I said quickly, " I just like this place. This minute...you." Chris chuckled and picked his keys up off the desk, " I know what you mean," he said, kissing me, " We love each other, but are we in love?" I shrugged. Chris sighed, " I know what you mean. Where are we with the demon?" he asked. "What? The power-swappy thing?" I asked. "Yeah." he said. "I was busy." I smirked, " You go and I'll handle it. And plus I have Wyatt and...well, if she stays long enough, Melinda." "Alright, but be careful." Chris said, leaving. I sat back on the bed, " Where's my underwear?" I asked and they floated from above, " Oh." I giggled to myself. - - - - - - - - - - I walked downstairs, wearing jeans, a black shirt, and a jean jacket. I felt strange, different...energized and very odd. I walked into the kitchen to see Melinda cooking. "Oh crap! I should get a camera!" I said, walking over and seeing her mixing soup. "Don't get your hopes up, it's from a can." she smirked. "Small steps." I said, " So, what's going on?" "Well, while you and Chris were...doing things that I should know about, yes I saw, I was picking up Wyatt." Melinda said, reaching up in the cabinet and getting crackers. "Wyatt?" I asked, " what's wrong with Wyatt?" "He lost his first patient." Melinda said, " Never lost one." "Never?" I asked. "No. So, he's having a adjustment period." Melinda said gently. "Mind if I got up before you bring the food. I might be tempted to snack." I said. "Go ahead." Melinda smirked. "Alright." I said, heading upstairs. I walked to the door and saw Wyatt sitting on his bed. I knocked and he looked up, waving me in. I walked over slowly and sat on the bed. "Hey." I said. "Sorry." Wyatt said. "What?" I asked. Wyatt looked me in the eye, " I'm sorry if I ever...If I ever made jokes about you have less power than us. I can't imagine not being powerful." he said. I didn't blink, " What? So, you think I'm weak, huh? The little guy who runs away and who has less powers..." "That's not..." Wyatt said. "Well, I am strong. Stronger than both of you. I'm the one who takes everything single thing life throws at me without flinching. I can't orb, but I can blow things up and see the future. I can't weild excalibur, but I can leave my body and...freeze things. What you think is weak just shows how weak you are. I may never have been able to do some of the things that you can do, but I always knew that whatever magic could do for me, I could do by myself. I never based my worth on my power. I based my worth on my heart. I thought you did to." I said angrily. The room began to shake and there was a slight rumble. "He doesn't think you can handle the power." a voice said from the corner. I looked to see a blonde guy standing there. He was about 6'2, green eyes and pale-skinned, " He thinks you're dangerous." I looked from him to Wyatt. "No..." Wyatt said, " I don't think you, I just...the powers are too much, we have to bind them." "Bind you?! He wants to bind you!" the man said. I looked at him sideways, " Who are you?" I asked. "Mikey Stillman." he answered. I looked at Wyatt and began to float. "You have to calm down! Things can get bad if you don't calm down!" Wyatt said, trying to touch my arm. I felt it. It wasn't Charmed Powers, it was more! I felt it surge and at once lamps and paintings blew up and flew from the walls! I saw myself and I couldn't stand it. I felt it. It was the power! Not evil, not good. Just power! "Oh god...." I said, walking to the mirror, " I'm gonna need to wear something else. Maybe a little Willow." I said, snapping my fingers and causing my appearance to change. My clothes took a darker turn. Everything jean had turned black and my black t-shirt turned blue and my shoes turned black. My eyes became a deep black! "Drake!" Wyatt said. I was so wrapped up in me that I hadn't cared about anything else. I turned to Wyatt, " Sorry, Drake's not in, leave a message." I said, sending him flying. "Shall we go to my place?" Mikey smiled. "So, you're big bad, aren't you?" I asked "What?" Mikey asked slowly. I tilted my head and touched his face, " I'm bringing crazy back." I said, sucking power from him, " You taste...like honey." I smirked, letting go. "What's going on in he..." Melinda said, running into the room and seeing the situation, " Drake, what are you doing?" I sighed and rolled my eyes, " How many times do I have to tell you people, he's not here...but, I think I'll leave a message." I smirked, walking toward her. - - - - - - - - - - Chris sat at a table, waiting for Bianca. She had called him at the club and he had promised he'd meet her. So here he sat. He was happy. He'd gotten the reaction from Pahras that he always wanted. He had loved him since they were kids, but this was a new thing. This was different. Sure, he loved Pahras, but what they had done made him feel differently. It was love...more than love. Pahras was his best friend and too important to mess up. Way too important. There was a bond, not just a relationship, a bond. One that Chris was refusing to break. "Hey." Bianca said. Chris smiled up at her and stood, hugging her, " Hey, what took you so long?" he asked. "Oh, I had this thing. Speeding, fourty-five dollars." Bianca said, sitting. She stared at him, " Oh my gosh, are you glowing? Is there someone new in your life?" "No." Chris laughed, " Not that. So, how are you?" "I'm great. I'm working steadily in modeling and I'm getting some pretty good offers." Bianca smiled. "That's great." Chris smiled. "So, how are you?" Bianca asked. "I'm good. Running the club and I just booked the Colby Calliat and..." Chris said. "Just got some?" she asked. Chris smirked, " So, you asked me here to talk about current events?" he asked. "Yeah...yeah..." she trailed. Chris stared at her, " Ok, so I wanted to talk about us..." "Us?" Chris asked. "Or the lack thereof." Bianca smiled. "So, what is it that you want to talk about?" Chris asked. Bianca looked away, then back at him, " Why did you leave me at the altar?" she asked. "I..." Chris stammered,, " I just needed to be a free man for a while." "What does that mean?" Bianca asked. "I don't know." Chris said, " I just wasn't ready." "But you asked me." Bianca argued. "I know." Chris sighed, " I know, but I thought I was. I thought I was ready to be your husband and fight demons with you and Wyatt and be a dad and be everything that you hope I am." "Everything I hope you are? I don't want hope...well, I do, but mainly I just want you." Bianca smiled, moving her hand on top of his. Chris blushed and was about to say something, but his phone rang. Bianca waited as he picked up the phone and talked into it. Chris was shocked when Wyatt told hima bout Pahras and melinda and that odd guy. Chris hung up quickly and looked to Bianca. "Demon?" Bianca asked. "You could say that." Chris replied, standing and throwing bills on the table, " I've gotta go." Bianca stood and hugged him, " We'll talk later." she said. "Definitely." Chris said, leaving. - - - - - - - - - - I stepped into the Bay Mirror, heading to Phoebe's office. I could feel the stares and soon Elise came up to me. "Hey, Pahras, I just got your column and it's great...what are you wearing?" Elise asked, looking me over. I looked at her with a blank expression. "Are you okay?" Elise asked. "Is Phoebe in?" I asked. "Yes. But she's writing and she shouldn't be..." Elise said, but I walked past her. I walked to Phoebe office and found it locked. She shouted that she was busy, but I placed my hand on the lock and it clicked open. I walked in to see Phoebe and Coop buckling up. I telekinetically shut the door and locked it. "PAHRAS! DID YOU JUST USE MAGIC IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY?!" Phoebe said. I smirked evily. Phoebe looked at me in shock, " Pahras, what's wrong?" she asked. I smirked, " Nothing...gosh, Phoebe, everybody seems to be asking me that lately," I said, raising my hand and sending Coop flying backwards, " I just got a power boost." Phoebe jumped the desk in an attempt to kick me, and succeeded but I stood and ducked a punch, then grabbed her hand and swung her against the wall. "Phoebe. You always were the spry one. We share something. We're the powerless Charmed Ones. That's what they're saying. Seems like I always get the bad part of the deal. I lose my family...get the role of powerless Charmed One...and the guys who sleep with me instantly turn into people who break my heart. Life's a big party for anyone who isn't a Halliwell." I smirked, putting my hand to her face and I felt her power spark into me! - - - - - - - - - - "You said what to him?!" Chris yelled. "I didn't mean it like it sounded, I was just..." Wyatt tried to explain. "So, he took your powers?" Chris asked. "Yes." Melinda said, laying on the couch. Chris flipped through the book, " Is it the Hollow?" he asked. "No. Just my powers and now his powers and Melinda's." Wyatt said, standing in front of them. "So, where to next?" Chris asked, " We need to find him, you guys can't live without your powers." "Iono. I don't know what's going on in his mind." Wyatt said. "When you feel like you're about to lose control, what thoughts are you having?" Chris asked. Wyatt thought about it, " Depends. I know I can feel the power." he said. "Power?!" Melinda asked, " Well, he's taking Charmed Power, or at least that's how he started, so he could be after Charmed Ones." "We're right here." Chris argued. "But the original Charmed Ones aren't. And who's as powerful as we are? Them." Melinda explained. "We gotta get there." Chris said. "You guys go, I need a nap." Melinda said, turning over. - - - - - - - - - - *DING DONG* "Leo, it's in the..." Piper stopped at the sight of me, " Drake, are you alright? There's veins everywhere..." I smirked, " I'm great. Better than great. I'm...near perfect." I smiled. - - - - - - - - - - Chris and Wyatt orbed into Phoebe office to find Phoebe laying against the wall and Coop was flat on the floor. Wyatt ran over and healed him. "What happened to Aunt Phoebe?" Wyatt asked. "Pahras." Coop said simply. "Wyatt, you stay and heal Phoebe, I'm just going to see Paige, she's bound to be next." Chris said, orbing out. - - - - - - - - - - "You know, sometimes I wish you had let me die. I mean, think of all the things you could have apred me. You could have let Drake die and he would have been better off." Pahras said, walking back and forth. Piper was on the roof beside Leo. "I mean, he can't even keep a decent relationship. Wyatt...Kyle...Tristan...Chris. He couldn't keep courage to stay friends with his oldest friend." Pahras smirked, " He's nothing." "Maybe that's because 'he' is meant to be with one person." Piper said. Pahras stopped, " I'm getting bored. I mean, this is boring to you, right? I mean demons have come at you full force and still you stand, right?" he asked. "This must be Wyatt's power inside you, you can't handle it!" Leo said. Pahras frowaned up at him, " Because I'm weak?" he asked. "No. Because Wyatt's the one who is supposed to deal with it." Piper said quickly. "Nice. I mean..." Pahras raised his hand and Piper and Leo dropped to the floor, "...you're seasoned to deal with this, huh?" "What?" Leo asked, crawling to Piper. "Doesn't matter." Pahras said, grabbing Piper's face, " Now, give us a kiss." he said, sucking her power. Chris orbed in with Paige. They looked from Piper and Leo to Pahras. "Drake, what are you doing?!" Chris shouted. "LAMP!" Paige shouted, but I just smirked and with a flash of lightning, I disappear. - - - - - - - - - - Thank you for reading. Ok, I know that was a little out there, but keeping in the tradition of the Charmed Ones, you're not a real Charmed One until you've gone bad and tried to kill, lol, so we already know Wyatt can be evil, and Chris has been evil, and we've touched on Drake, but I needed them to switch powers so that could be achieved, while also introducing the new evil. Confusing, a little, but if you have suggestions, comments, questions, E-Mail me. - - - - - - - - - - If you liked it, let me know and I'll start on the next one.
