Chapter 12 – Son of a Lien
Wyatt leaned forward placing his elbows on the desk and clasping his hands together, "You know if you weren't my best friend I would vanquish you right now. Actually I probably would have vanquished you a long time ago when you went behind my back and dated my sister. Specifically after I said she was off limits." He stood up and walked around to the other side of his desk and sat down on the edge of it, "You would think that if I sent not only my second hand demon but my trusted friend that the job I asked to get done, WOULD GET DONE!" Wyatt shook his head and lowered his voice back down, "But instead the whole army of demons that I send with him is vanquished..." He threw his hands up in the air, "Want to tell me what happened?"
Eric continued to glare back at Wyatt and finally responded nonchalantly, "Hey you sent them on the suicide mission, you knew they were going to get vanquished by your mother and aunts anyway."
"Yeah but they didn't vanquish them, YOU DID!"
Raising his eyebrows Eric just shrugged his shoulders as if he could care less.
Scratching his head Wyatt responded, "Eric, it seems now that Mel has showed up in the past it has complicated things a bit and oh lets see here made this a little personal for you, perhaps." He turned around to his desk and grabbed a pen handing it to Eric.
Eric took the pen and looked at it puzzled, "What's this for?"
"You're new job my friend."
Eric looked back up at Wyatt in shock, "WHAT? You cannot be serious."
"I'm assigning somebody new to this job." Wyatt stood back up and walked back around to the other side of his desk shuffling a few papers, "You have shown quite clearly that you are not capable of putting personal feelings aside to get the job done."
"No! This is my job, I can get it done. Your demon army was just annoying me a bit, and a little bit in my way!"
Wyatt held a hand up silencing him, "Eric don't push me! I'm doing this as a favor and if you know what's good for you, you will take that pen and go start pushing papers, rather than having me vanquish you."
Eric looked at him pleadingly, "Wyatt?"
"Eric. No! This is your last time, I'm not going to give you a chance to screw up again, because I really would hate to vanquish you, we've only been best friends since we were 8." Eric started to butt in but Wyatt stopped him, "NOW GO! Lou will show you what to do. And when this problem is all taken care of, then I will call you, when I have a new job for you."
Eric turned around and walked out slamming the door behind him. He walked through a room with a secretary and a variety of different demons waiting to see Wyatt. And into a room with another secretary that was older, a little plump, and gentle looking. Eric leaned down next to her and laid the pen in front of her, "Hey Aunt Lou."
Startled the old woman looked at the pen and then up at her nephew, "What did you do this time?" She asked with a slight smirk on her face. Like Eric, Lou was a demon with part human in her. Her mother was a Lien, demonic being with the power to control men's desire and the main purpose of conceiving part human demons. She seduced Lou's dad into conceiving Lou and her sister Juliette, both of whom became Leins. Juliette however rebelled a bit and ended up choosing an upper level demon. When Eric was just a boy The Charmed Ones vanquished Juliette who was trying to seduce Darryl Morris, a friend of the witches, at the time. It was Lou who raised him ever since, spending a large portion of her time trying to keep him out of trouble.
"Kind of vanquished a small portion of Wyatt's army."
"Let me guess, Mel?"
He grinned, "They were getting a few ideas that I didn't agree with."
"Eric, Eric." she said while shaking her head. "Well what is it that you want me to put you to work with?"
He sat down at the chair opposite her desk and leaned in close to her so others couldn't hear, "Not what I want you to put me to work with but what I want to put you to work with."
"Oh no honey. Whatever idea you're getting you might as well just forget about it. Whenever it comes to this witch you don't think straight and any plans you're cooking up can't come of any good, well evil that is." Aunt Lou responded with a wink.
Eric sighed and shook his head. "Aunt Lou, I need you to send me back."
"Back where? To the past?"
"Yes Aunt Lou. You know that nobody can write a better time traveling spell than you." He smiled big, a trick he had learned as a kid into melting his Aunt's heart.
She chuckled, knowing the smile well by now but nonetheless it still worked. "Eric, I don't want you getting caught up into anything that could get you into big trouble."
"Oh come on Aunt Lou, I care for her and I have to make sure whoever Wyatt sends doesn't hurt her. And besides I got a job to finish."
"Oh yeah I'm sure that's going to win her heart. Hey Mel I love you but I got to kill your twin."
He smiled slyly "Oh she'll come around."
"But Eric he's such a cutie and Lizzie is single again. I think they would make a cute couple, I always have. So can't you at least spare him and then you won't have to worry about Mel being angry with you."
Eric responded angrily, "Aunt Lou, Lizzie can do A LOT better than Chris Halliwell! He's a spineless weasel." Calming back down, "And besides Mel is already angry with me for not standing up against Wyatt. You know, I'm evil and all." He said the last sentence with a grin. "Now come on Aunt Lou, be the bad witch that you are and send me back" He flashed her the cute little kid smile again.
Lou shook her head but with a smirk on her face, "This is against my better judgment so you promise me that you'll be careful."
"You're the best Aunt Lou!" And Eric reached across the desk and gave her a big hug. "Oh and by the way make sure you add a little line in there and a pinch of ingarne, to where Wyatt can't track me and bring me back."
Aunt Lou nodded her head "Anything for you! Now give your Aunt Lou a kiss before you jet out of here. And promise me that you'll be careful."
Eric leaned in and gave her a peck on the cheek, "I promise I promise!"
"Ok. Now I'll have that spell ready for you tomorrow morning to pick up."
"Thanks so much Aunt Lou!" He said before shimmering out.
Lou smiled to herself, "That boy, I tell you." She paused thinking and then gave a chuckle, "I still think that Chris would be a perfect match for my little Lizzie though."
