Chapter 13: D-Day
The next morning dawned far too early for the inhabitants of the commune. Chris had never been asleep. He spent the whole night plotting the invasion. He had talked to all of the squad leaders and rehashed the plan hundred times over. He had decided that he would lead the attack on Wyatt's tower. He could feel it in his bones that this would be the battle to end the war, one way or another.
Right at five o'clock, Andy popped into Chris' office. "Hi," was all she could think to say. She had so many emotions running through her mind. She wanted to tell him everything, but couldn't find the words.
"Hi," Chris countered. He wanted to say her loved her, and that he always had. He wanted to pull her into his arms and kiss her passionately, but he couldn't. He just stood there in awkward silence. He couldn't do any of those things, because she had betrayed him. In his time of need, she had chosen Wyatt, just like everyone else.
"Chris? I need to tell you something. I love you," Andy said swallowing her pride. "I didn't leave with Wyatt because I love him I left so he would give you the antidote. You need to know, that no matter what, I will always choose you." Andy moved in and pressed her lips to his. They stayed that way for one long moment. Then she pulled away.
"Let's do this," Chris said. The two walked out of the office, and toward the main foyer, to meet with all of the squads.
"My fellow revolutionaries!" Andy called as she jumped up on the table. "Lend me your ears. Today is the day we gain our independence. We have spent years hiding in this hole, now we fight! We can and will win. OPEN!" She called, and two portals. "Send the message to open the front portal, the attack begins." Once Andrea came down from the table, all hell broke loose. Soldiers pored out of the portals and the entrance.
In the beginning, the fight seemed all but won. The resistance had pushed Wyatt's army away from the entrance. Then, the other squads had encircled the demons. From there, it was easy. That's when it happened. Another wave of Wyatt's army appeared. They outnumbered the resistance two to one. It was looking bleak Wyatt's army had nearly pushed into the compound. Everyone knew that if the demons entered the compound it was all over.
"We've got to do something!" Chris cried over the roar of the fight. "Andy, you take the offensive and the sisters & Leo and head for the tower. I'll meet up with you later," Chris said, pushing his way through the crowd, and toward the front entrance.
"But," Andy started, but Chris was already gone. "Alright, offensive follow me!" She ran down the street, grabbing the Charmed Ones and Leo on the way. "Let's go, Chris will meet us at the tower."
Once Andrea and her squads were out of range, Chris levitated into the air. He hadn't used his powers for years, not since Leo bound them. Chris laughed to himself. It was so ironic that Leo bound his powers because he thought Chris was evil, but he had to put that out of his mind. Once Chris was above the crowd, he raised his hands. Then, demons began exploding left and right. Lightening spewed from his fingers, engulfing the enemy in flames. Once the smoke cleared, not one of Wyatt's enemy was left. A great cheer erupted from the army.
"Alright, to the castle!" Chris yelled, leading the rest of the troops to the castle. Adrenaline was running through Chris' veins. His heart was pumping, and he was breathing heavily. He didn't even see the demons that tried to attack him from the sides as he neared the castle; he vanquished them without a look. When he finally reached the tower, he had to stop to relish the moment. It was now that he would face his brother on a level playing field for the first time since they were sixteen. Now was the time to fight.
Hey guys, sorry it took so long. I blame the school system. Hope you enjoy. I think only 1 or 2 more chapters.
