Wedding photo
Year 2025
Piper looked terrified at the man in front of her. She didn't know what to say or what to do.
"So... Chris didn't tell you," Wyatt commented.
Piper shook her head. "You're lying," she said. Her marriage with Leo was destroyed, but the Elder still cared about her. And, of course she was angry, but she still loved him.
Wyatt cleared his throat. "No, I'm not..." he said, sighing heavily. "My stepfather was good to me, he was like a real father... It was a shame he had to die..."
Piper noticed the pain in his eyes when he spoke.
Those eyes.
"Wyatt..." she muttered and stepped back, as the wall started to glow.
Wyatt turned his back and saw Chris crossing the portal.
"I'm here, Wy," Chris said. "Let Piper go back home."
Piper looked from Wyatt to Chris. Wy... Wyatt. Piper shook his head and stepped back terrified.
Could it be even possible?
She stepped back again and hit a desk. She heard Wyatt mumbled something like "finally you're here", but suddenly her attention was captured by a picture on the floor.
A wedding photo.
Piper instantly bent down and picked up the photo. The Charmed One blinked in confusion, as she tried to process what she was seeing.
Stepfather...
He wasn't lying...
But how? He was... he was her sister's...
"You betrayed me," Wyatt's voice brought her back from her thoughts.
"I went back to save you," Chris said.
"Save me? From what?" Wyatt let out a small laugh.
"From evil," Chris explained. "I know something happened to you, you're not..."
"Not what? Evil?" Wyatt asked, raising his head. "There's no good or evil, there's only power!"
Piper looked at the photo again and shook her head. "Wyatt..." she muttered, walking to her son. "What..."
"Don't worry, you'll go back home, mother. You don't belong this time, but Chris..." he was saying, as someone orbed behind him and stabbed his back.
"Oh my God!" Piper raised her hand to her mouth, as she saw Wyatt fell on his knees.
"Finally," the Whiteligher cried in joy, as Wyatt moaned in pain.
"Henry," Chris shook his head. "You shouldn't..."
The Whitelighter pulled out the athame from Wyatt's back and stabbed him again and again. "He won't kill anyone anymore!" he said, with hatred in his eyes.
He watched with cold eyes, as Wyatt fell dead on the floor.
"He won't kill anymore..." the Whitelighter repeated, his eyes blurring with tears.
Piper was in shock. The man, who was lying dead, was Wyatt, her son, her sweet baby boy.
Chris slowly walked to his brother and knelt before him. "Henry... Why? I was trying to save him."
Henry shook his head. "You know why, Chris. We needed to put an end to this nightmare. You're here and the future is the same crap... Aunt Piper! What are you doing here?"
Piper's face contorted in confusion. "Who are you?" she asked, still in shock by the scene before her.
"Henry..." the man said. "Chris, what's happening?"
Chris sighed. "Wyatt brought her here, he found out that I was in the past, he killed..."
"I know," Henry said. "I am sorry for this, Chris. But someone needed to stop him."
"Wyatt," Piper muttered, walking to him. "How?" she asked, turning to Chris. She didn't understand. How her little baby boy turned into this insane and cruel man?
Chris shrugged. "He turned evil," he explained.
"He killed people, kids, babies..." Henry added and Piper moaned in horror at his words. "He killed my parents, the girls, Uncle Co..."
"Don't!" Chris warned him. "She's from the past... We can't tell her everything about the future."
Henry looked at Piper and nodded. "You need to go back and change things," he said. "Maybe Wyatt still have a chance. Maybe our... my family can be saved. "
Chris cleared his throat. "The future is always in motion," he said. "You're right."
"So..." Piper said, sobbing. "You didn't go back in time to save Wyatt from a demon?"
Chris shook his head. "No... Wyatt was the real threat. He's the evil."
"My baby is not evil," Piper told him. "He's only a baby..."
"I know. Someone turned him evil. I just need to find who..." Chris said firmly. "I need to know how to change this future."
Piper nodded. This does make sense. Someone was responsible for that. "He's an angel," she said. "Where I did go wrong? I am a terrible mother!"
Henry sighed and looked at his cousin's dead body. He hated Wyatt, the man stole everything from him, but he couldn't be cruel with Piper. "It's not your fault... Don't blame yourself. And there's a chance for him, for us... Remember: the furure is always in motion."
Piper looked up at him and nodded. Henry. A Whitelighter... He was certainly Paige's son and he killed Wyatt...
Her son created a world of death and despair.
And paid with his own life.
"Why?" she asked, turning to Chris. "Why are you trying to save my son? I mean, after everything he did... Why do you want to save him?"
Henry swallowed.
If Piper knew...
"Because I believe he can be saved, Piper. I know Wyatt, he's not inherently evil," Chris sighed.
Piper nodded."I want to change this," she said. "I want to save my son!"
Chris nodded. "So, you need to help me, Piper. If we fail..." he said, pointing to Wyatt's dead body.
"I will help you," she assured him. "I'll do everything I can to save my baby! I won't let him turn evil, Chris. I won't let him turn into this monster! I promise!"
A/N: Thank you for the reviews, follows and favorites.
No, Wyatt was not lying. Chris is not Leo's son in this fic.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter :)
