Sorry about the repeat chapter three. Thanks to lizardmomma for alerting me to this fact.
I hope you guys are getting this timeline thing. Chapter Two, Three and this chapter are all taking place at the same time. After this chapter, time will finally move forward. It should all have been in one chapter, but I thought it would be too much.
Dark orbs filled Piper's bedroom in the manor. As the orbs finished coalescing, a dark hooded demon emerged. His blonde hair and dark blue eyes were peaking through and looking at two kids playing in the corner of the room.
Wyatt Halliwell and his brother Chris were the two sons of Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt. Wyatt was almost six years old and Chris was already four years old. The two boys were playing with toy trucks. Upon seeing the hooded figure appear in the room, Wyatt quickly moved closer to his brother and encased his brother and himself and in a blue shield.
"I'm scared Wyatt," Chris whispered to his older brother. He grabbed his brother's arm tightly and held on to him safely, knowing that his brother would protect him.
"I'll protect you Chris, don't worry," Wyatt put on a brave front for his younger brother. Deep down inside, Wyatt knew what demons were capable of. Though his parents tried to shield him from the horrors that demons bring, he still saw the worried look in his mother and his aunts faces when demons attacked, or how his father always rushed him and his brother away when there seemed to be demons in the house. He and his brother and cousin had to save their Uncle Coop recently from the Elementals, so Wyatt definitely knew the powers that these demons had, but he also knew that he had a few tricks up his sleeve as well.
"Hey there little buddy. You don't have to be scared. I just want to be your friend!" the robed demonic creature said. He started to move his hands toward the boy and held out a stuffed lion. It was golden with light brown hair. "Look I just wanted to give you a present, see?" He placed his hands through the shield and laid the stuffed lion on the ground next to Wyatt.
"Wyatt! He just went through your shield! I thought only good people can go through your shield!" Chris said excitedly. Maybe this guy isn't that bad, after all he did bring a cool toy to play with, Chris thought to himself.
Wyatt nodded his head suspiciously. He wasn't sure if he could trust him, but decided to lower his shield.
"Hey you guys want to go somewhere cool?" the robed figure asked the two boys as he bent down to be eye level with them.
"Where?" Wyatt asked curiously looking at into the man's blue eyes for the first time. Something about it seemed familiar to Wyatt and almost made him trust the stranger.
The robed figure quickly looked at his watch. "It's great! Lots of toys and games and all the rocky road ice cream you could ever want!"
Wyatt's eyes grew wide. "Rocky road! That's my favorite!"
"Really? Mine too!" the man said excitedly.
Chris however was still interested in the lion and wasn't really listening to anything the man was telling him.
"I have to go now, but I'll be back another time. Hey, don't tell anyone about me, it'll be our secret. I don't think your parents would like it if you only ate ice cream all day! You can keep the lion as a present though OK?" the demonic figure said sweetly. He smiled to himself as the two boys nodded their heads in agreement.
The demon stepped back and dark orbed out of the room. Chris looked up when he saw that and grew a little more suspicious again. The only people he saw do that was bad people, and he didn't know if this guy was good or bad.
Wyatt on the other hand, was still thinking about a land where you could play and eat ice cream all day long.
The sudden jingle of orbs snapped Wyatt back to reality. His mother and father were back.
"Hey buddy," Leo said picking him up. "You protect your brother? You're such a good boy."
"Hey Chris," Piper said as she bent down to give him a hug. "Where did you get this stuffed lion?"
Chris looked up from his new toy to his mother and then to Wyatt to get an idea of what to say.
Lie to her, tell her you found it somewhere. Remember that guy said not to say anything about him to mom and dad. Wyatt telepathed to Chris.
I don't think lying is a good thing to do Wy, Chris responded mentally.
"I found it at school Mommy," Wyatt quickly told Piper before his younger brother blurted out the truth. "I saw it and I thought that Chris would like it more so I gave it to him."
Wyatt knew just how to touch his mother's heart. She smiled and said "awww you're such a sweet boy Wyatt Halliwell. OK then who wants some Rocky Road ice cream?" Wyatt quickly raised his hand and Chris followed. Piper brought the boys down to the kitchen to give them a well deserved reward.
