ON WITH THE FICCIE
Chapter 4
When Chris entered the attic he grabbed his backpack and descended back down onto the second floor. Before he could get down he heard his father being told of his condition and he stopped waiting for Wyatt to finish. Chris hated being the center of attention. He would rather be sitting in the shadows than in the spotlight.
Wyatt was finally finished with his story and Leo sat there trying to digest it. He couldn't believe that he would have let it get that far. He wanted to be a better father, and according to Chris he was.
"That's not going to happen. I won't let it get that far" Leo promised himself. Tears welled up in his eyes as parts of the story came back to him, his son lying in a puddle of his own blood. They mixed with memories of the other Chris dying in his own arms, lying in his bed.
"We need to get back to the future though. I have probably said too much, and have screwed up the future. Who knows what could be different because you know this information" Wyatt said.
"Which is why we need to get back" Chris said walking into the room.
"Ok, but how is it that you even got here?" Paige said.
"That was Wyatt's fault" Chris said sitting down.
"No it was an accident" Wyatt said defending himself, he hadn't really meant to travel back to the past. He just wanted to get a good grade in his potions class.
"Ok, that helps guys" Phoebe said smiling at the two brothers.
"Well, I was dutifully doing my homework and Chris here- Wyatt started but was interrupted when Chris snorted and started laughing.
"Wyatt, doing his homework, nice try. I was doing his homework that he forgot. I asked him to take some of the extra wormwood back to the kitchen and he dropped it in the potion. It blew up in my face, and than we were sucked through a portal and landed in the attic" Chris said.
"I need a good grade in that class, I am already failing as it is and this project would have raised my grade. I asked you for your help" Wyatt said annoyed.
"Yea, except the only thing that you were doing is asking me when I was finished with the potion" Chris said smirking.
"Wait, you were using your brother to get a good grade" Paige said smiling.
"Yea and I learned from the best" Wyatt said smiling at her. Paige was proud, she at least taught him something valuable.
"Ok, I am sure now that future me will now know about this. I see some grounding in your future" Piper said scoldingly.
Wyatt sat back and started pouting, while Chris sat there looking proud of himself.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
A crowd of demons stood in front of three people, robed in white. Three elders stood in font of them as the leader of the demons stood.
"We did as you told and one of our numbers was injured" the leader yelled at the elders.
"Yes, unforeseen forces stopped you as well as us. How did you alert your selves to the charmed ones?" the one of the elders asked.
"It was a boy. He was standing near the nursery, so Alec tried to dispose of them. He made too much noise and the charmed ones came running" the leader said again.
"There was another one, another witch. They seem familiar somehow!" Alec said one of the demon healers worked on his arm.
"We will deal with these too, focus on the mission. It will be worth it in the end" the elders said than orbed out.
"I don't see why we just don't kill them here and now. Than go after them by ourselves" one of the darklighters said holding his cross bow up.
"Our arrows don't kill whitelighters, you know that. Go find a common darklighter" leader replied irritated.
"This mission is suicide Kane and you know it. When that elder tried to dispose of the twice-blessed he was killed by one of his own. Now they want to kill both the twice-blessed and the new baby" the same darklighters said. Before he could utter another word an arrow entered his stomach and he was vanquished. No one spoke.
"Anyone else?" Kane said turning to the rest of his followers glaring at them as if he was daring one of them to speak.
"We got unlucky with that witch, but the elders said that they would take care of them. We will attack tomorrow, until than restock your arrows and prepare" Kane ordered shimmered out of the room.
They all got to work.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Ok, so can you explain more about the demons that are after us?" Phoebe said turning to Chris.
"Yes, demons first than we work on sending you home" Piper said determinedly.
"Ok, well from what I remember, these demons are a special form of darklighters. That surprisingly doesn't hunt whitelighters. And really the only reason that we bunch them together is because they both use cross bows. As I said before they have special arrows that will damage your insides if hit and have to be removed with special care, not just tugged out. They hunt witches, usually very powerful ones" Chris explained.
"Wait, if they target powerful witches than why didn't the darklighter attack us down here?" Paige asked.
"Maybe, he wanted to use the element of surprise" Phoebe suggested.
"No I don't think that's it. He was up there because he wasn't after you" Chris said shrugging. Now everyone looked at him confused, even Wyatt.
"But you said he goes after powerful witches" Phoebe said confused. All of them turned to Chris. He stared back at them like he expected them to read his mind. When he figured out they were not going to get it, sighed.
"Come on who else is very powerful in this house" Chris asked, surprised at their confused states. Shaking his head he turned to Wyatt.
"I guess you've been forgotten, Wy" Chris said sarcastically. All three gasped as the light bulbs clicked in their heads.
"But your up their too" Wyatt protested, Chris always forgot about himself and often forgot just how powerful he was too.
"So" Chris replied not fazed.
Everyone just stared at him.
"So, he could have been after you too?" Wyatt said trying to get through to his little brother.
"Highly doubtful" Chris replied turning back to his family.
"Chris- Wyatt started but was interrupted.
"Moving on" Chris said loudly cutting Wyatt off. Everyone looked with sad eyes at Chris, but Chris just continued as if he didn't notice.
"Ok, but why did he attack you?" Phoebe asked carefully.
"Because, I saw his plans, so he had to get rid of me to keep quiet. When I was coming down I passed the nursery and he must have come right when I was passing and thought I saw him. If he didn't get rid of me now, his plans would have been ruined" Chris replied.
"So where does that put us now? Leo asked.
"Well we should summon one and interrogate it" Chris said getting down to business.
The girls and Leo stared at Chris like he was crazy.
"And why would we do that?" Wyatt asked confused.
"Because these demons, even though quite powerful, do not work on their own. They are a form of bounty hunter that can be bought. Usually something big" Chris said.
"That does not explain why we have to trap one" Wyatt said. Chris slapped his forehead at the stupidity of his brother.
"Because if they are hired guns than, someone else hired them to attack" Paige said as the gears started turning in her head.
"Exactly" Chris said.
