Chapter 7

It took quite some time for Leo Wyatt to regain his composure once he was back in the old manor. He sat alone on the bottom step trying to calm himself down from the horror that was just inflicted upon him. Leo had to watch something that no parent should ever have to see, his oldest son forcing himself on his younger brother. The look on the boy's face broke his heart as he looked on helpless to stop the torment and humiliation that the boy experienced at the hands of his big brother.

Leo's stomach turned once more as he remembered the vial, sick and twisted promise that followed. His oldest son, his once pride in joy and reason for being had threatened to rape his own brother. "I'm so sorry Chris" the man spoke out loud in the empty house that was filled with love and laughter so long ago.

The man buried his face in his hands as he wept for the son that he had turned his back on for what he thought was his own good. Now the Elder had to live with the fact that he had given his child over to a monster who would do anything to get what he wanted and it killed him inside. The man wiped his tears away knowing that there was only one person who could console him in his time of need. Closing his eyes and concentrating hard, he summoned the woman to his side.

Immediately he fell into her arms and sobbed heavily. "I screwed up, again" he said wearing his heart on his sleeve.

"It wasn't your fault Leo you had no way of knowing how truly sick Wyatt was. You trusted him with Chris's care and he was the one who screwed up, not you" the woman spoke softly into her husband's hair. "It's what you do now that counts"

"What can I do, Piper? Wyatt's already warned me what he would do to Chris if I crossed him again. He said he would…that he would" the man tried hard to finish his sentence but couldn't.

"I know what he said Leo" she spoke fighting back tears. "I had the misfortune of looking down on Chris at that moment. When I saw Wyatt kissing his own brother" she said shaking her head "I was appalled to say the least. Listen Leo I know that everything seems hopeless right know honey, but you can't give up. You owe it to our baby not to give up" she said planting a kiss on the man's head before pulling his face up to look into his eyes.

"I believe in you baby and I know that you will do what's necessary to save him from Wyatt" she choked on her last words wondering what she had done wrong as a parent.

"I know what you're thinking Piper. This isn't your fault honey. None of this is your fault."

"Can you be so sure Leo? I'm their mother it was my job to protect them and teach them morals and values. It's obvious that I didn't do my job right. If I did Wyatt wouldn't be such an evil asshole and Chris would be safe" she now cried on his shoulder.

"Hey, I'm not going to let you do this. You were the perfect mother. Chris is amazing and I have you to thank for such a wonderful son. As far as Wyatt is concerned he chose the path of evil. You, me, Phoebe and Paige all taught him to do right and he's the one who abandoned those teachings" Before the woman could respond a third party interrupted them.

"It's not nice to talk about me behind my back. But then again neither of you have the guts to say it to my face" the tall muscular blond spoke as he took a threatening in his parents direction.

Suddenly Piper flew in her sons direction and started hitting him hard in the chest before he telekinetically sent her flying backwards.

"Control your bitch" Wyatt said looking in his father's direction. "Now I came here to talk to you about that sweet little brother of mine" he said licking his lips.

"You disgusting piece of trash! You better leave my baby alone you sick freak. I swear to you Wyatt Matthew Halliwell if you lay one hand on your brother I'll…"

"You'll do what mother? You know what you're little tantrums as of late have been pissing me off more than a little bit, so allow me to give you something to think about" the man said forming an energy ball in his hand and throwing it in his mother's directions.

"Piper!" Leo screamed as his wife's temporary body hit the floor with a sickening thud before reverting back to her spiritual form. As she made her way to her feet she glared at her wayward child.

"What the hell has gotten into you Wyatt?" his father screamed.

"Don't you mean what am I going to put into Chris?" Wyatt laughed evilly.

Piper was ready to charge at him again but deep down she knew that it was no use.

"You touch one hair on my son's head I'll" Leo began before being cut off.

"On his head? Ha, sorry but what I'm aiming for is a lot lower then that" he smirked knowing how badly he was getting to the couple.

"Well I'd love to stay and chat but I have a magical kingdom to rule and a bitch of my own to get back to."

"Poor Autumn deserves so much better" Piper whispered.

"ANYWAY I just thought that I'd stop by and remind you of what will happen to young Christopher in case you're thinking about crossing me. And don't worry he's safe as long as you stay out of my way" turning to Piper he added "Always a displeasure mother, let's try not to see each other again, k?" he twisted him mouth into an evil grin before flaming out, leaving a devastated Piper and Leo behind to shed tears for their youngest son.

"We can't let him hurt our baby Leo" the woman spoke once more.

"I won't Piper. And I know exactly what to do" he said causing a look of hope to spread across his wife's face.

"Can you believe him!" Christopher Halliwell screamed into the air as a shocked Bianca looked on. "My own brother kissed me. I knew Wyatt was sick but this takes the cake"

"Oh my God Chris, I'm so sorry" Bianca said sitting down next to him.

"I don't know what happened to him. He used to love me, you know the way a brother should but now he's turned it into something else. I have to find a way to save him, to get back the brother I love and miss" he said while running his hand through his hair.

"Do you think that's even possible?" she spoke careful not to sound negative.

"I know it is. Wyatt used to be the greatest brother in the world. Ok sometimes he'd do things that he wasn't supposed to when we were growing up. Like misusing magic and he did kill a few people in his quest for power which was horrible but he was always there for me, especially when Dad couldn't be" he said laying back on the bed.

"You know Wyatt was the one who taught me how to walk. He was three and he took care of me then and he still does now. When Dad would give me one of his lame excuses about not being able to take me out, Wyatt would drop his friends or his latest take over plot of the week and hang out with me instead. He would say that it was Leo's loss and he was happy to take his place and that he would always be there for me, not matter what" Chris continued as he blinked back the tears that threatened to fall.

"I don't know, Bee, something must have happened to him when we were younger or maybe before I was even born. Whatever it was I have to find a way to go back and change it"

"You mean like going back to the past?" she questioned as she lay on his chest.

"Yeah, that's exactly what I mean" he said nodding his head with conviction.

"I have to go back to the past Bianca, it's the only way to save Wyatt and that's exactly what I intend to do"
