Chapter 25 - Woke Up on the Wrong Side of the Bed!

The Noon sun burned high above the sky, rising the temperature to scalding heat, adding more wild fires to the dry land – as weathers are controlled by Wyatt. However in San Francisco, the weather is serene, in fact it was sunless clear sky, casting odd blue light in the sky, making the temperature cool as the northern winds blew across the crumbling place.

In Fortuna castle, Cassandra made her way to the throne room in search of her husband, but one glimpse into the room told her that Wyatt wasn't there, except the silent stationary guards, who monitor the place 24/7. She has been searching him for a good hour yet she cant seem to find him, even through her senses, she can't seem to locate him, which is a very odd thing but nevertheless, brushing those disturbing feeling aside, she remembered why she's looking for her husband. She has some good news to tell her husband. In a exhale of breath she called.

"Demetrius," Cassandra called as puff of smoke appeared before her to reveal Wyatt's personal adviser. A Neutral being, neither good nor evil.

"Where is he?" Cassandra asked looking at the man before him. His features are like alien, that it never ceased to amaze Cassandra. She could spend hours studying his features. His large oval shape eyes that are always exposed without the protection of its eyelids, his pointy large elf like ears, only his were enormous. His skinny tall frame, which made him look as if he was a talking clothes hanger and not to mention his long skinny fingers that, seems so fragile like twigs with his large clown like feet.

"Liege has gone to attend personal matters in hand, my Queen." Demetrius replied back with a little bow.

"And what that might be?" Cassandra asked knowing this has got 'Chris' Written all over it.

"I fear that question cannot be answered as for I do not have the answer for it." Demetrius said as Cassandra shook her head, disgruntled. Without another word she walked past Demetrius and into the hall. The moment she approached the large throne, she turned around to face the hall.

"Show me where my Husband Wyatt is," Cassandra spoke out loud as a hologram flickered to live in front of her, displaying part of the Fortuna castle, before flickering to show a closed white and gold door of a bedchamber, that Cassandra wasn't aware of or know of its existence until now. Then the image flickered and changed to display a room, where Wyatt and Chris were asleep on a bed that's pure as white Ice.

Anger flared through Cassandra like volcano at the thought of Wyatt being with Chris behind her back. It seems like her stupid love struck husband has gone out of mind and lavished the young witch with luxury instead of pain. Here she was thinking that Wyatt has him imprisoned in some in a dungeon or a cellar, but clearly that wasn't the case. The hologram continued to show the two sleeping form, with a hiss like a venomous snake, Cassandra black orbed out.

######################

Piper paced up and down the small area, while Paige, Phoebe and Billie sat in the old worn out couch, near the entrance to the safe house, all waiting for Chris to walk in, either bruised or bloody, which they were prepared for…but no show is something that seems cause discomfort in all of them and all of their thoughts are revolving around the same thing.

'What if Wyatt has got hold of Chris?'

Night has turned into Morning, noon and evening, yet Chris hasn't turned up as they thought he would…Billie tried to comfort the girls by informing them, that this is normal, well for Chris' standards anyway, since he's often gone for good few days before turning up. However this wasn't comforting for Piper in anyway, not knowing where her son is, especially out there in a world such as the current one…it's a death trap.

"I knew we shouldn't have left him there alone." Piper said his voice filled with worry as she continued to pace the floor.

"Piper…" Phoebe groaned holding her head as she got the full feelings of the anxious and worried mother. "I'm sure Chris is fine, he knows this world better than us."

"Yeah, that's true Piper, you don't have to worry about him." Billie said to the eldest charmed one.

"I'm his mother; it's my job to worry." Piper said as she stopped pacing to look at her sisters. "Maybe we should search for him. He could be in danger, maybe Wyatt got hold of him." At this Paige bit her lips, her eldest sister's worry rubbing off on her. Who knows, they could be sitting here, thinking that everything is okay while her favourite nephew could be suffering at his brother's hand, after all they have personally seen how Wyatt tortured Chris.

"Maybe we should scry for him." Paige began only to find Phoebe already seems to beat her at the thoughts, since she already got the map and crystal.

"We need something that belongs to Chris." Phoebe said looking around, as Billie held her finger up indicating she got the thing they need. The three sisters watched her going over to the small cupboard that's stocked up the potion ingredients; however instead of opening the small cupboard, she pulled the entire thing away from the wall to retrieve something from behind it.

From what the sister's saw, she held a small blue velvet pouch. "Chris will kill me if he knew I took this out, but it's for a good cause." Billie said as she opened to pull out silver bracelet, the one the sisters immediately recognized since Piper has the exact one back home, the one which the girls borrowed numerous time and one which that's treasured by all three charmed ones as it belonged to their mother.

"This is all he has…of you." Billie said looking at Piper as she safely placed the contents into the palms of the eldest charmed one. Piper smiled as she took in the silver bracelet, so many memories rushed into her, making her vision blur. With a little sniff she glanced at the two sisters, who smiled back at her,

"Maybe you wanna do this? It would have more effect if you do it, than us" Phoebe said holding the crystal up towards worried looking Piper.

"It seems like he treasures you more than anything else." Paige said as Piper nodded, the knot in her chest increasing by the second. Piper let the crystal drop on top of the map and exhaled deeply; concentrating on the one thing she wanted to find…her son Chris.

###############

"What is this?" A voice screeched so shrill that windows and the mirrors around shattered to pieces causing the two Witches on the bed to awake.

Chris was the first one to snap his eyes open, which were still dilated to fully black with his pupils swirling in white colour, however as the young witch lighter blinked his sleep away, his eyes returned to their original state. For a second Chris was confused when his eyes saw nothing but pitch black before him, but soon his other senses came alive, when he felt the softness of the material that's pressed against his cheeks, the warm air that ruffled his hair, the protective embrace around him, with the added bonus of the distinctive smell that tickled his nose.

The softness and the secure feeling he felt with the embrace, Chris completely forgot where he was, so he buried his face into the inviting warm, when another scream jolted him wide awake.

"WYATT!" Cassandra screamed as Wyatt's eyes snapped open this time, his eyes are similar to Chris, dilated with his iris swirling in black, but returning to their original baby blue. For a minute Wyatt was confused and pissed for the interruption, Chris on the other hand pulled himself away from Wyatt's embrace and shot up on the bed. Wyatt simply turned around to find Cassandra standing there, looking beyond pissed.

"What do you think you are doing?" Cassandra hissed her eyes in purple silts, travelling back and forth from the twice blessed to Chris.

"HOW DARE YOU" Wyatt roared revealing his demonic face and his razor sharp, rows of teeth at Cassandra, causing the Queen Vamp to run back a bit, while Chris jumped out of the bed away from Wyatt in fright.

"I-I'm your wife…" Cassandra hissed her eyes travelling from Wyatt to Chris, taking in the young witch's appearance; he was fully clothed which means nothing happened. Her eyes also travelled to Chris' neck but they were still soft and firm as before, no bite marks.

"And because of that I'm not vanquishing you right now." Wyatt hissed zooming towards her without his feet touching the ground, as Cassandra looked like a deer caught between two headlights. Although its known when the queen is vanquished her collective would die with her…its not the same with Wyatt. Being the twice blessed, Master of Yang and being the only partner of the Queen has altered his essence and being, thus formed a powerful bond making him the King of the collective. Only his Vanquish will decimate every vampire creatures on earth.

"This is not your bedchamber to barge in without permission." Wyatt hissed as Cassandra looked as if someone told the most embarrassing story about her. "This is Chris' bedchamber, only those he wishes to enter can do so. So you do well to remember that for the future. Do you understand?" Wyatt hissed as he looked down at his wife' purple eyes, his face few inches away from her, his eyes glaring into the purple slits, the cold glare he's giving is powerful enough to install fear into her being that she couldn't look directly into his eyes.

"Now Leave." Wyatt hissed as Cassandra looked at Wyatt and then at Chris, then with final hiss at Wyatt, she whirled out of the room, destroyed part of the room that's close by, as the wind turbine slammed the door close behind her. Wyatt waved his hand restoring everything back to their original look, from the shattered windows to the destroyed room.

Wyatt then turned to Chris, who still hasn't moved from his place, as he stood on the other side of the bed, well backed up against the wall.

"W-where am I?" Chris asked looking at Wyatt, who simply smiled as he made his way towards Chris.

"You're home." Wyatt said calmly as Chris shook his head, looking around his surrounding.

"Home? You call this home?" Chris asked looking at Wyatt, who looked little confused. "This isn't home Wyatt, this is anything but home. Home is what you turned into a museum, the one where our family lived for years."

"And now we moved." Wyatt said as Chris rolled his eyes. "You know, for the stunt you pulled at the Masquerade ball in front of others three days ago, I should've had you punished."

"Then why didn't you?" Chris asked looking directly into the twice blessed eyes, remembering the dreams he had few minutes ago…but three days…oh shit what happened to the girls, they must be worried…he only hoped that they don't come barging down the castle in a rescue mission otherwise he would have to end up rescuing them but instead of worrying about that, he concentrated on Wyatt instead. "Why don't you have me shackled in your dungeons and see me fail. I'm sure you would love to see that along with your wife." Wyatt saw the raw emotions that ran through Chris and he doesn't blame him, the dream he had of their past life, the love he shared with Chris was so intense that it hurts so much to see how much they have drifted apart.

"Because you know why." Wyatt said looking back into the emerald eyes that bore no emotion. Something Chris learned well to do now, even his senses cannot pick anything up from Chris….which only made him fear, if their bond, what was once powerful, maybe now weakened or does it even exist anymore?

"Let me guess," Chris said his voice bore both sarcasticness and hatred. "You found a new way to crush my soul and kill what's left of me. Right?" At this Wyatt exhaled deeply.

"Why? Why must you always make things difficult Chris?" Wyatt asked looking at his brother. "Why can't you see that part of me still loves you? No matter what, it's always thinking of you? Hoping that you would return to me one day. Even after you betrayed me, I'm willing to forgive you Chris."

"Betrayed you?" Chris hissed looking at Wyatt. "Do you even know the meaning to that words Wy? Cause I tell you something, if anyone has the right to say they got betrayed, then it should be me." At this Wyatt shook his head.

"There you go again, why can't you let Past be past?" Wyatt said hissing, as his frustration and anger bubbled inside him. Why can't he let it go and be with him, why does he have act like a jealous bitch and moan and whine about everything he has ever done. What's so hard about it? "Why do you always have to dig it up again huh?"

"Because that's all I have Wyatt, past is the only thing that forces me to live in this beautiful hellhole you created with your wife. If I didn't have that, why on earth do you think I'll be fighting a loosing battle with you? I would've been surfing the paradise by now."

"I could still give you paradise Chris." Wyatt said to his brother, who rolled his eyes.

"The only real paradise you could give me in this hellhole is if you kill me." Chris said to Wyatt as the twice blessed gritted his teeth. He felt like breaking Chris' legs and leave him there, that way he wont able to go anywhere without Wyatt knowlege. But he knows, it doesn't matter what he breaks, nothing will stop Chris from getting what he wants, Wyatt should know, after all he's just like his brother.

"I'm afraid that cannot be arranged anytime soon." Wyatt said looking into the emerald eyes. He needs Chris to be with him, he wanted Chris to be dependant on him, he wanted Chris to….be weak….how is that possible….Wyatt knows how, he needs to break Chris' spirit. He needs to make Chris believe there is no way of saving anyone other than himself and only way to do that is to be by his side.

"But feel free to try an escape." Wyatt said with an evil smirk and with one glance at Chris, he walked out of the room, waving his fingers as the door opened, allowing the blonde witch to pass before slamming shut behind him.

Chris stood rooted to the floor, the evil smirk still playing in his inner mind, knowing Wyatt has already planned something for him. He can't believe he fell in love with a bastard like Wyatt. Screaming in frustration, he waved his hand towards the bed, hoping to shove it aside but to his surprise the bed didn't move. At this his frustration subsided and fear took place….fear of not having powers. Quickly glancing around, he waved his hand towards the dressing table and to his surprised and relief, the object sailed across the room on the white marble floor.

Chris turned back to the four posted bed, to place a hand to feel the coldness of the marble. That's when he realized the entire bed was made of pure white marble that it's so heavy even his powers can't seem to lift it across the room.

Chris then looked around the room, he knew he can't orb out of the place, as Wyatt probably would've enchanted the room but nevertheless it didn't stop the young witch from trying.

Chris felt the familiar tinkling sensation engulf his body as it transformed into swarming particles of light, with that they headed straight for the ceiling, only to pass through them swiftly. The orbs kept on travelling through the palace walls and to the witch's surprise he made it out of the Palace walls. With his thoughts aimed towards the Charmed ones, Chris zoomed towards the open blue sky.

Wyatt must've forgotten to enchant the palace Chris thought to himself, when his orbs stopped in mid air for second causing him to reform back. Height was never an issue for the witch lighter but hanging about 200 feet up in the sky can make any witch fear for their lives, however before Chris can do anything, he felt a tug on his back and if he's been plucked by an invisible hand, he was yanked backwards towards the Palace so fast, he felt the air rush past his ears muffling everything around him.

A quick glance behind Chris told him, if he doesn't act fast, he is going to crash into the palace walls at the speed he was being yanked back. Not a second too late when Chris dissolved in orbs, only to be yanked through the palace walls in a ball of light, the speed increasing as the orbs travelled like a oncoming comet as it crashed hard into the bed of Chris' room, causing the large marble bed to move few inches from the force. Chris reformed back from the scattering orbs looking utterly bewildered and baffled. He didn't know what just happened, since everything happened so fast, his head was still buzzing with noises.

Chris could imagine Wyatt's smug face laughing at him in his inner mind; he should've known the bastard wouldn't have left the room unprotected. Chris can't believe he fell for it, that he thought he was free, when all the time Wyatt was playing him. Chris was half thankful that he collided into his bed rather than somewhere else, knowing if he did, then he probably would've lost a tooth or two than ending up with a massive bruise on his back.

#############

Meanwhile In the throne room, the hologram displayed Chris' room. Wyatt just saw Chris colliding into the bed, but boy the shocked and stunned expression he had on his face when he got up was priceless that had Wyatt laughing so hard, it echoed through the grant hall, causing all the stationary demons to glance towards the evil overlord on his throne. Wyatt still couldn't get the image out and what's more funny and sweet was; Chris now resulted to pouting as he scratched his head, looking around for a way out.

Wyatt saw Chris spot the door and the window. The twice blessed had a silent bet with himself that Chris will approach the window and just as he expected, Chris made his way to the window.

"Now this should be interesting." Wyatt thought to himself as he summoned a burger and began munched through it, with his eyes glued to the hologram before him, like a small child watching his favourite show.

Thank You Guys For all those great reviews. Hope you all enjoyed this new Chapter. Seems like Chris is stuck inside fortuna castle then…oh well let's hope the Sisters can help rescue him.

As usual thanks to my lovely loyal old and new fans.: Wragziez, Phil, I-Love-Trunks1, Jessie121, Wesdrewlover, CelticWolfster, Steven, PapiEsteven, Sucker4WynChris, JinKa7, Skyinthenightslove, PrinceOfLA, JJ Ann, Little Karma & Nocturnal Rose

Peruser, - Lol, As why Wyatt still with Cassandra, cause he loves her. Lol. I know its hard to believe but yea Wyatt does love her.

As For Why Victor seems young when he should be older than Cassandra's kids – well he's old, but trapped in his child body, he cant age but Cassandra kids can age and grow up at any speed, normal timezone doesn't apply to them. So if they want they can grow into an adult within few months but Vampires love their beauty and Youth so they tend to stop aging after their desired look and age. So I hope that clears up that confusion.

Hope You All Enjoyed that Chapter. You'll know what to do. Press that button.
