Chapter Ten:
When Chris arrived back at the club, he was greeted by Prue, who did not look too happy. "Devon told me you left and would be back in a little bit. Please tell me you did not go where I think you did." she demanded. "Okay then, I didn't." He answered, surprised by how upset his cousin was. "Why would you do that? Confronting Wyatt isn't going to help anything at this point. If he wants to come after me he will come after me. And after my vision I will be ready. I am a Halliwell too you know, not some helpless little girl." She did not want her cousin or anyone she cared about to be hurt because of her. "Look I know you are not helpless, but I will not stand by while he goes after everyone I love. I had to let him know that I would not let it happen." Chris stated, trying to make his cousin understand.
"So you really think that threatening Wyatt helped the situation. You shouldn't push him Chris. If you get him angry enough he will come after you too." Chris thought over what she had said before answering. "Let him come after me. I rather that than him killing you and everyone else I care about just in an attempt to get me to join him. I had to let him know that if he pushes me far enough that I will go after him with everything I've got." "Fine, whatever." she yelled before storming out of the office. Prue hated fighting with her cousin, but she was even more terrified of losing him, and making Wyatt angry was just a stupid thing to do. She would not let her cousin get hurt trying to protect her.
She knew she had to do something on her own, and she needed to talked to somebody about just what she intended to do. If she spoke to Sean about what she was planning to do he would stop her, or even worse, follow her and sacrifice himself like she had seen in her vision. Instead she decided to talk to Bridget. "Hey" Prue said approaching her friend. "I need to talk to you about something, but you have to promise that you won't tell anyone what I'm going to tell you." "Why?" Bridget demanded, "what crazy stunt are you planning." Prue hesitated… "I am going to go to the apartment and wait for Wyatt to show." "Are you nuts?" Bridget shot back. "You cannot take on Wyatt yourself." Prue was not all that surprised by the reaction she was getting.
"I have to do this Bridge. Chris went and confronted Wyatt, to warn him to stay away from me. Now that he has made Wyatt angry I cannot risk him getting hurt. I'll bring plenty of the explosive potions that we have been stocking up. Between that and my powers I will be fine. Wyatt will see that coming after me was a mistake and he will back off. But this has to happen on my terms, otherwise he will attack when I am not expecting it, and you, Sean or Chris could end up getting hurt or killed. You can't talk me out of this." Prue could see she was getting through to her friend.
"All right then." Bridget responded. "If you insist on doing this then I am going with you." "No" Prue shot back. "I am going to do this alone." "No your not" Bridget insisted. "either I come or I tell." Prue knowing she had no other choice. "Fine, but it isn't like you are giving me much choice." Prue said relenting. "Well, that's what friends are for." Bridget said as the two girls smiled at one another.
After not that much time had passed by the two girls had managed to raid the stock of potions, grabbing anything they thought would be useful. Once they had gotten everything they needed they told the others that they were going backstage to get some rest, before sneaking out the back entrance of P3. The two girls headed straight for Victors' apartment.
"What about your Grandfather?" Bridget asked her friend. "Won't he be home?". "Actually I spoke to him earlier and he said he was going away for a few days, and he would call me when he got back. He didn't tell me what the trip was all about through. I think it has to do with the fact that he is sick, but he won't tell me or Chris anything." "Oh I'm sorry." Bridget answered her friend. They were getting close to the apartment, and the two girls finished their walk in silence realizing the seriousness of the situation.
When they finally opened the door to the apartment, it was empty as they had expected, and Bridget finally broke the silence. "Okay, what now." "Well we just wait I guess." Prue answered. "Wyatt will come I know it. He will be able to sense me now that I am out in the open." "Okay then, we will just wait."
The two girls just sat in silence for what seemed like hours, but it was really only a few minutes before black orbs appeared before them. "How you doing cuz?" Wyatt asked devilishly, after materializing in the apartment's living room. "long time no see" Prue answered back sarcastically, "sorry… can't say I missed you." Bridget stood up beside her friend trying to look as fearless as possible, when she really was terrified.
When it came to fighting Wyatt, her power was useless, he was more than powerful enough to block her from tapping into his mind or his powers. "Aww… I see you brought a friend with you… how sweet." Bridget piped up not being able to take Wyatt's attitude. "Actually it is sweet, not that you know anything about having friends, everyone hates you." Wyatt was not bothered at all by her remark. "To have friends is to have weaknesses. After all isn't losing someone you care about the worst pain of all. Like the way you lost your daddy." Bridget flinched, it hurt her to think of the way her dad had been murdered. "Shut up" Prue demanded defending her friend. "leave her alone, you are here for me not her." "Maybe…" he answered her "but when it comes to tormenting people I will take whatever I can get."
Sick of the small talk, the youngest Halliwell threw one of her potions at Wyatt stunning him for a second. She then ran up to him, and gave him a swift kick, using the martial arts her mother had taught her so well to use. It wasn't long though before Wyatt got his bearings and used his telekinesis to throw Prue against the wall. Seeing her friend hurt Bridget immediately tossed one of her potions Wyatt's way, and ran over to help Prue to her feet. Wyatt then sent an energy ball their way but Bridget was able to freeze it by tapping into Prue's powers, and the girls were able to get out of its path before the freeze wore off. They then took cover behind the sofa as Wyatt kept hurling energy balls their way.
All while dodging the continuous attack, the girls were furiously retaliating by throwing potions toward Wyatt. Although they did not seem to have too much of an effect on him they did manage to weaken him enough for Bridget to get past his mind block and use his telekinesis against him, throwing him against the wall, and then hurling anything she could think of his way.
Clearly weakened, Wyatt orbed out much to the girls' relief. The feeling did not last long though, as he soon orbed back in, but this time with a room full of some of his most powerful demons. The girls simply gave each other a worried look, and Bridget could hear Prue's thoughts. "How in the world are we going to get out of this one?"
