Author's Note: This chapter is really short, but I really like it. Alas, it is the last chapter. I really had fun with this, this was my first Charmed fanfic and all of you that reviewed made me smile. Thank you all so much, and I hope that you remain as loyal after this chapter, which I must say is a bit evil. I hope that I get this much support for my new fic. Again, thank you all so much!
Phoebe and Paige appeared in a swirl of orbs in the middle of the living room. Paige brushed some of her hair out of her face and said, "Whoa, good thing we got to Wyatt when we did, he was about to die. He kept muttering Chris' name, I wonder why he never came."
"I don't know, I'm really starting to worry about Chris, Leo too. Should we wake Piper up?" said Phoebe.
"I think so, maybe we could use baby Chris to scry for dead Chris." Phoebe said the reversal spell and Piper woke up with a huge yawn.
"You used a sleeping spell on me!" accused Piper.
"We had to," Paige replied calmly, "All the stress you were under was not good for baby Chris, plus you were getting annoying."
"Well excuse me for being a mother and a wi—friend!" said Piper.
"You're excused," said Phoebe, smiling at Piper, she hadn't missed what she had almost said.
Chris woke up in the guest bedroom, he slowly looked around him, expecting to see Wyatt. Not seeing anyone he cautiously got up, then he remembered all that had gone down on the bridge, remembered the decision he was about to make. He panicked and yelled "Leo!" He heard a groaning noise in the house and ran towards it. He stopped in the doorway of his mom's bedroom and saw Leo on Piper's bed. Chris sighed but then thought, 'If he's fine then that must mean—' "Wyatt!" Chris yelled, very surprised when his brother orbed in right in front of him.
"You look like you've seen a ghost! You're the one that's dead, remember?" said good Wyatt with a smile on his face.
"You're alive! I—I couldn't choose, and then I fell asleep..." Chris told Wyatt the whole story.
"You were about to decide if I was going to live or die and you fell asleep?!"
"Hey! It wasn't my fault, I don't know why I fell asleep, it's not like I did it on purpose. I would have orbed to you but evil Wyatt did something to my powers."
"Alright fine, you said you were about to decide, who did you decide to save?" asked Wyatt, looking at his brother with an un-readable expression.
"I—"began Chris, then Leo moaned again, "Need to heal him!" He moved past Wyatt expecting Wyatt to stop him, but he past without hindrance. While Chris was busy with Leo the Charmed Ones came up the stairs, hearing Wyatt's and Chris' voices.
"Chris! You're okay, and good to see that you lived through yet another encounter with yourself Wyatt," said Paige, she nodded towards Leo, "What happened to him?"
"Simple sleeping spell," said Wyatt, he waved a hand and Chris immediately dropped to the floor, asleep, again. "See?"
"Handy," said Piper, "But not really fair, wake your brother up young man." Wyatt waved his hand again and Chris woke up, stunned to find that he was on the floor.
He muttered something about "Should have expected that," and "Really need to learn a way around that." He looked at Wyatt, "You used to do that all the time to me."
"I know."
"Oh right...wait do y—never mind," Chris was about to ask what Wyatt had meant. When he said 'all the time' he had meant when Wyatt was evil, did this Wyatt mean the same thing? He had so many secrets and he still didn't trust him. Wyatt looked at him strangely and Chris shivered, he got the feeling Wyatt knew exactly what he had meant.
Evil Wyatt strode back and forth in front of rows and rows of demons. They were in a huge cavern and it was filled wall to wall with demons. A little persuasion and a grand show of power had quickly gotten the demons to respect him and except him as their leader.
"My brother Chris is jeopardizing my plans. He cannot be allowed to succeed. He needs to be dealt with, along with the good version of myself. If you help me now I assure you that I will remember it and reward you in the future," said Wyatt, he loved having and audience and he had the attention of half the underworld.
"Chris can be taken out easily, he's a full Whitelighter so a Darklighter arrow should do it, there are plenty of you, don't miss! If need be he can be taken out a second way, my mother is pregnant with him. Kill her and you will kill him. My good self is a little harder, it will take many upper-level demons and myself to bring him down. Are there any who disagrees with my plans?"
Everything remained silent and a few demons shook their heads. "Good," said Wyatt, "Tonight my father, my good self, the Charmed Ones, and, most of all, Chris die."
The Halliwells were gathered in the kitchen. The sisters were sitting at the table with Leo, Chris and Wyatt were leaning on the kitchen island. They were chatting casually and normally, for them.
"You know," said good Wyatt, "you can't keep distrusting me, I'm not the Wyatt you grew up with. I have my secrets, but right now those secrets need to be kept, you should understand that."
Chris looked guilty, but shook his head, "I kept secrets to keep my family safe, I'm not so sure that's what your intentions are."
"Come on guys," said Phoebe tiredly, "Can't you just stop arguing and work together? It's almost three and yet here we are, listening to you two bicker. We need to go to sleep."
"No one ever said you had to stick around and listen to us," said Chris, "In fact we would prefer not to have an audience. We need to settle this."
"There's nothing to settle!" said Wyatt, "I'm going to keep my secrets and you can keep yours."
"I have no secrets."
"Right," said Wyatt with a snort. The two men glared at each other and Paige could sense the electricity between them. The ground began to shake, Chris and Wyatt grabbed the island for support. The sisters thought it was an earth quake, but the two brothers looked at each other with fear in their eyes. They both said at the same time, "Wyatt."
