The lonely warrior
Chapter 21
Halliwell Manor
Living room
"Phoebe's premonition is the prove that the demon didn't lie to me," Chris muttered.
"Demon?" Phoebe frowned.
"Chris took a little trip to the Underworld," Paige explained.
Cole looked at him puzzled. A Whitelighter in the Underworld?
"That's why he knows a Whitelighter is after Wyatt. A demon told him that…" Paige continued. "We were trying to write a spell to find out who this Whitelighter is."
"I don't understand. Wyatt is only a baby," Phoebe winced. "He's not evil…"
"Not yet…" Chris added and Cole frowned in confusion.
"In Chris' future, Wyatt turned evil… He became the New Source," Paige explained, noticing his surprise and confusion. "That's why Chris traveled back in time."
"I need to stop it from happening. Something turned him, we just need to find out what," Chris said.
"We need to fight together to protect Wyatt…" Paige said.
Cole looked at her and frowned.
Together?
Halliwell Manor
Piper's room
Piper looked at the wedding photo and sighed. Cole was back and now she was more confused than ever.
She was lost in her thoughts when suddenly Gideon appeared in a swarm of golden orbs. "Who are you?" she promptly asked, as she saw the man in front of her.
Gideon grinned. "My name is Gideon. I'm an Elder. I already talked to your sisters…"
Piper raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?"
"We need to talk about Wyatt," he quietly explained. "He needs guidance… I'm here to tell you that I can be his mentor. I can teach him how to use his powers… properly…"
"Look…" Piper shook her head. "Now it's not a good time to talk about it, okay?"
"You don't have much time," Gideon grinned. "The ancient prophecy described the birth of a child with great magical power. This child is Wyatt."
"I know…"
"He has the potential to become a savior, but…"
Piper raised an eyebrow. "But?"
"If Wyatt falls under evil influences, he will become this world's destroyer…"
"What?" Piper shook her head. Does he know anything about the future?
"I he turns evil…"
"He won't! My son is not evil!" Piper assured him.
"How can you be so sure?" Gideon asked, walking to her. "Even your sister, a Charmed One, became Queen of the Underworld…" she said, caressing Piper's face.
Piper felt a shiver ran down her spine and stepped back. "Phoebe's not evil…"
Gideon grinned. "I see… Everything was Cole's fault," he said. "I'm glad he was vanquished. I never understood why the other Elders never forbade Phoebe to get involved with him."
Piper closed her eyes. She was still holding the photo in her hand. "Please… Go!" she shouted at him.
"I need an answer," he said.
"The answer is no!" Piper said firmly.
Gideon sighed. "Think about it, Piper… I am an Elder, you know you can trust me…"
"Just go!" she yelled at him.
Gideon shook his head. He didn't expect Piper would be so stubborn. "Okay… But I need to warn you… You're making a big mistake…" he said and orbed out.
She breathed hard, letting the photo fall to the ground.
"Piper…" Paige walked into her room. "Are you okay? We heard you…" she asked, as Phoebe, Chris and Cole followed her.
Piper rubbed the back of her neck. "I am okay," she assured them. "Gideon orbed here and…"
"Gideon?" Phoebe frowned.
Piper nodded. "He tried to convince me to let him be Wyatt's mentor, but I don't know, I don't trust him…"
As Piper was talking, Cole's attention turned to a piece of paper on the ground. It was a photo.
He bent down and picked up the photo.
"I know he's an Elder…" Piper continued. "But…" she suddenly stopped, as she saw Cole with the photo in his hands. "Cole..."
He looked at her in confusion. "What?"
Phoebe looked from her sister to Cole, trying to understand what was happening. Then she looked at Cole's hands and saw a photo.
The wedding photo.
