Chapter 37 - Now that I'm down on my Knees, begging for Change!
When Piper and Matthew walked into the Kitchen, they found Chris adding two eggs to the concoction in the mixer, before closing the lit to let loose. "This should reduce his hangover in the morning and sober him up fast." Chris said to Matthew and Piper with a smile as they watched the dark tangy green looking liquid that's being whirled around inside the mixer.
"What have you got in there?" Matthew asked unable to hide his disgust.
"Trust me, you don't wanna know." Chris said as Piper lightly nodded, remembering the time when Paige gave her something similar to drink after getting beyond drunk for losing Phoebe to Cole. "Finally, slice of beetroot for a nice color." Chris said adding the piece as the juice slowly changed its tangy color into something nice. "Can you put these away?" Chris asked Matthew, who nodded as Chris filled a glass. With the two witches busy in the kitchen, Chris made his way out of the kitchen with a smile, halfway towards the living room - he waved his hand over the glass, which glimmered, transporting the potion he has made in the attic into the glass, with that he made his way to the living room where he found Faith lost in her thoughts while Wyatt snoring away on her lap.
"Hey, is he asleep?" Chris asked as Faith snapped out of her thoughts and nodded with a smile. "Maybe we should wake him up to drink this; he'll have a good sleep." Chris said as Faith looked at lightly mumbling Wyatt.
Placing the glass on the coffee table, Chris helped Faith heave the twice blessed sit up, who moaned and grumbled about not wanting anything. "Come on Wy, drink this up. You should feel fine tomorrow, or you gonna be all bitchy." Chris said holding the glass to Wyatt, who shook his head in protest.
"Dun anna." Wyatt mumbled as Chris placed the glass to Wyatt's mouth - who reluctantly drank the liquid with little protest.
"There don'tcha feel much better?" Chris said as Wyatt slumped against Faith again. "Why don't I orb Wyatt to his room, you may wanna go and check on Matthew. I don't think he's handling…you know…the situation well." Chris said looking apologetically towards Faith, who nodded in understanding. Faith stood up and was about to leave but stopped when Chris called out to her.
"Hey!" Chris said as the whitelighter looked at him. "I know this whole ordeal wasn't easy for you guys and the last thing you want is sympathy from people but I know it's not easy to deal with the fact that you lost someone you really loved. Believe me I know that feeling but like I said to Wyatt, you guys are young and you guys still have time. Don't stop trying." Chris finished with a smile as Faith smile.
"Thank you." Faith said before walking away. Chris merely smiled in return before leaning in to touch Wyatt and with that he dissolved in orbs.
The same orbs re-appeared at Wyatt's room. Chris merely looked towards the room door for it to lock itself, before glancing towards his brother. Chris began his incantation again. The same voices filled the air once again - thousands of voices repeating the same phrase over and over again at random times. As Chris watched, the strip of light appeared from his ring, spilt at middle to wrap themselves around the twice blessed, and as he expected a blue shield appeared around Wyatt, however as he kept uttering the spell under his breath the crisscross ribbon of lights began to squeeze the shield making it look as if it was a balloon, that's trying to be squeezed out of its shape. Just then, it popped - popped like a soapy bubble - disappearing into thin air, as the strips of lights once again surrounded Wyatt, only to disappear into him. With a devious smile, Chris walked out. Now all he has to do is, wait for Wyatt to wake up.
#############
The clock chimed somewhere from the Olsons house, early in that morning - 2am to be precise - people often tend to be in their deep sleep, but not the residents of this certain household. They weren't in their bed; instead they were upstairs, standing over a bubbling cauldron.
"You'll sure this will work?" Sky asked again. Although Shane didn't want to include the kid in this plan, he had no choice - since the kid threatened he will rat their ass out to the Halliwells if they don't include him in the plan. Shane's gotta admit, the kid has gotten pretty good at blackmailing - he guessed he must've learned it from Helen, after all he spends hellva lot of time with her in the underworld, he bets that he picked up few things that even he doesn't know.
"Of course it will work." Shane replied back to the untrusting darklighter.
"Tell me again how you came up with this potion again?" Sky asked the guy before him but he merely shrugged.
"If you know the Charmed ones and their history then you'll find everything that happens in their life could come handy to you." Shane replied back as Sky looked skeptical before nodding lightly.
"So how long we got before the potion is good and running?" Sky asked as Helen filled three vials with blood red liquid.
"Whenever you want it to be!" Helen said passing the vials to Shane and Sky, who cringed at the sight of the potion.
"Do we have to really drink this potion?" Sky asked remembering some of the ingredients weren't so favorable to his taste buds.
"If you wanna cloak yourself in goodness again, then yeah! You do." Helen replied back as Sky rolled his eyes. "It's a good thing you brought Wyatt here to us rather than taking him straight home."
"Yeah, I wasn't really expecting him to be so co-operative with us, but I guess being drunk outta your head, he probably thought this was all a dream, he won't even remember us cutting his hand open to take his blood in the morning." Shane replied.
"That's because he self healed himself." Helen replied back as Sky looked little skeptical.
"You know him being drunk, wouldn't that affect the potion?" Sky asked looking at the blood red potion.
"Yeah, it would've but I separated the alcohol from his blood cells. So its clear of any stains that could affect the potion." Shane said as Sky nodded.
"Bottoms up!" Helen said raising her vial in the air, and with that all three Olsons downed their potions in one gulp.
"Agh!" Sky grimaced, trying not to gag his potion out while the adults bit their teeth down from showing any form of emotions. "So how do we know it worked?"
"Go for the Grimiore." Helen replied as Sky grabbed the leather bound in his arms easily. At this the three Olsons looked confused.
"Looks like your dandy little potion…" Sky started only for the Grimiore in his hand to jump out of his hand as the potion took its affect. "Worked!" Sky said looking bewildered as he tried to go for the book only to be repelled away from him. "Alright, lets go and get some piece of the book of shadows." with that note he disappeared in buzzing black orbs causing Shane and Helen to protest.
"That kid of yours never quit does he?" Helen said looking at Shane.
"Don't blame me! He's been hanging around with you." Shane replied back as they both teleported out.
Only when they re-appeared, they came face to face with Chris Halliwell's amused smirk as he calmly took in their appearance.
#############
Few minutes ago, right before the attempt by the Olsons on the Book of Shadows.
Chris Halliwell made his way into the attic. The excitement and the nervous anticipation was a slow killer. He didn't know when Wyatt is going to wake up but if the potion has done its job, then it should return all the blocked and repressed memories back to him, thus in turn would collide with his current memories, altering the twice blessed to his presence back in the family.
Chris waved his hand, as the ancient book slowly opened itself up to display its contents to the studying eyes. Chris motioned another swish from his finger causing the old parched pages to flip and turn in the invisible breeze.
"I know you in here somewhere!" Chris thought to himself as he made the pages turn one after another in the invisible breeze. After five minutes of searching the book, the witch gave one final flick of his finger, causing the book to randomly turn to stop at a page. This to his luck was the entry he was looking for.
The emerald eyes took in the title that was woven together in floral images with big calligraphy title: To Bind One Soul to Another! However before Chris can take in the entry, buzzing mass of black orbs appeared in form of - to his surprise - neighbor's kid. If that wasn't interesting, smokes and shimmered appeared in form of Shane the bartender and his wife Helen.
An amused smile played on his lips as he confronted their shocked and surprised eyes.
Sky who wasn't expecting to see the guy there, summoned a pistol like crossbow in hand to fire at Chris, only to be thrown into the air like a doll as he crash landed into the pile of boxes. Helen held her hand out as two Athames smoked into her hands as Shane created a fireball. Both Olsons attacked simultaneously at the young Halliwell, who deflected it away with a wave of his hand - Shane smoked out and smoked back in to grab the book only - Chris Grabbed the other end of the big volume, looking confused at how Shane could hold the book.
Sky, who wanted to have a upper hand on the guy - misjudged Chris and orbed behind him to give a surprise attack - only it backfired. Chris delivered a kick to the young darklighter's stomach, sending him stumbling back, before using his right leg to wrap around the podium and whipped it backwards to Sky, slamming the wooden panel – that's used to place the book - against the kid's temple, causing him to see stars, as he stumbled back.
"What is going on up there?" Piper's voice shouted as they heard rushing footsteps up on the stairs.
Shane released the book as Chris stumbled back and fell to the floor with a smirk.
"We'll be back!" Shane hissed as Chris simply smiled.
"I'll be waiting." Chris replied back as the Olsons teleported out, just as Piper and Matthew barged into the attic. Chris simply stood up and dusted himself, before grabbing the podium to place the book.
"What happened? Are you alright?" Piper asked as Chris merely shrugged it off.
"The usual..." Chris replied back to his mother. "Demons after the book." At this Piper looked worried.
"How did they look like?" Matthew asked as Chris shook his head.
"I'll deal with it, don't worry…" Chris said only to be interrupted by a scream that ripped across the Manor.
Fear of more demons attacking, everyone rushed downstairs - by this time, everyone was awake, including little Peyton, who was being soothed by Leo. As the trio from the attic reached the hallway, the door to Faith's room was wrenched open and Wyatt walked out - his eyes looking blood red. Piper saw her son's blue pupils scanned everyone before finding Chris in the back.
Without a word, he marched up to Chris, grabbing him roughly as he slammed the young witch against the wall, his hands gripping the throat as he snarled at Chris. "HOW DARE YOU!" Wyatt seethed looking like a pissed off viper.
"Wyatt!" Piper called out but didn't attempt to reach him in fear of what could happen, while Wyatt barely acknowledged anyone's presence.
"I'm sorry!" Chris whispered looking into the pain filled eyes. Wyatt shook his head as he released Chris from his grip, before stepping away from his brother.
"No, no, no, don't do this to me." Wyatt whispered. He heard the fear and pain in Chris tone as he refused to look at Chris. He was inches from breaking down in front of everyone.
"Wy…" Chris whispered out - the voice held so much fear and worry. Wyatt looked up to meet the glazed green eyes before him - that one that plead not to reject him, that one that said he was scared, that shows he messed it up bad. "I-I…." Chris said unable to find the right words to express his feelings, but his eyes told the twice blessed all - the pain and the hurt.
Wyatt didn't know whether to be grateful or upset but he didn't care as he once again roughly grabbed Chris by his cheeks and smashed his mouth against him.
