Author's Note: Hiya, yeah I know, this chapter took a long time to write, and really. Sorry, I really am, but I just haven't felt like writing lately, but here's the next chapter, I hope it's okay.
Caro: Glad someone caught it, I was a bit worried that no Angel fans would read my story. So happy that you like it.
CaliforniaChick: Well okay, so I didn't exactly "update soon" but I guess slow updates are better than no updates, right?
Wyatt automatically formed an energy ball and prepared to throw it at the demon but before he could he locked eyes with the demon. He extinguished the energy ball and smiled, Quortoth smiled back at him.
"Well, now that we know who the demon is we should get Chris, he's the only one that knows where Wyatt is and we need to keep him here so the demon can't get to him," said Piper, then finished with "Chris!"
"Did you find the demon?" he asked immediately after he was fully formed.
"Yeah," she turned The Book around to show him the entry on Quortoth.
After he was done reading he said, "Oh, not good."
"No it's not, that's why we need you to go get your brother." Chris appeared in the same cave, he immediately spotted Wyatt then ducked as he threw an energy ball.
"Whoa! Wyatt, it's me!" said Chris walking towards his brother.
"I know it's you Chris, who else would I be throwing energy balls at?" he walked towards Chris so that they met in the middle, a sadistic smile twisting his face grotesquely.
"Oh crap," Chris muttered as he realized what had happened, Quortoth had been here. The part that told him to fear Wyatt made him back away, and Chris didn't resist, right now he whole-heartedly agreed, but he also had to try and talk some sense into his brother. "Wyatt, fight it, I know you're not evil, a demon is making you do this."
"Why would I want to fight it when I feel more free than ever?" He smiled wider and formed another energy ball tossing it up and catching it.
Now would be a good time to leave! The other Chris screamed in his head. Chris quickly shook his head to free himself from that thought, he could not begin to think of the memories as being a separate person. Chris stood frozen, staring at his brother. Move move move NOW! Chris could feel something inside him fighting for control, suddenly his body went limp.
Wyatt watched with curiosity as Chris fell to the floor of the cave. He approached him and saw that he was shaking, as he got closer he noticed he was shaking with suppressed laughter. "What are you laughing at?" Wyatt asked loudly. Chris didn't answer and continued to laugh. "I said, what are you laughing at?!" He aimed a kick at Chris but he quickly jumped up and dodged it.
He took a fighting stance and flung Wyatt into the wall, a manic smile plastered on his face. "I knew it wouldn't last, you're the same no matter what. But this time I don't care. I have sacrificed too much for you, and all for nothing, so I give up. You want to kill me? Fine kill me, I died once, the second time around shouldn't be much harder. So tell me Wyatt, what the hell do you want from me?!"
Wyatt stood up and stared at Chris for a few moments and Chris uneasily shifted his weight from right foot to left foot and back again. "Join me."
Chris froze, he knew that was what Wyatt was going to say, but it sounded so much worse coming from him. Chris tried to swallow but his mouth was completely dry, he finally managed to say "Okay."
Piper was pacing back and forth in the living room in front of the couch, Leo, Phoebe and Paige were sitting on the couch. Paige watched her for a few minutes then finally said, "Piper would you just stop? You're making me dizzy." Phoebe grabbed Piper's arm and stood up and forced her into the spot she had previously occupied next to Leo.
"Can you sense them?" Piper asked Leo anxiously.
"They're fine Piper, trust me," he said, placing a reassuring hand on her arm.
"If they were fine don't you think they would have come back here by now?"
"They're fine," he said again.
"Are you sure? I mean what if the demon got to Wyatt?" her eyes and voice were full of fear. Leo pulled her into a hug and planted a kiss on the top of her forehead.
"They're fine, I'm sure of it. They can handle themselves." But he wasn't so sure, he was getting a weird feeling from both Wyatt and Chris, Wyatt seemed happy but there was something odd, and Chris wasn't hurt, but he was regretting something. Normally he'd be able to get a more clear sense of them, but something was throwing off his powers.
Chris and Wyatt orbed into the Manor and immediately Piper stood up and managed to lock both of her sons in a bear hug. "Oh thank God you're okay, we were starting to worry."
Wyatt smiled, "We're fine mom, Chris was able to talk some sense into me," he shot a warning look at Chris.
"So you understand that the Wyatt from the other time is not you and you aren't evil?" she asked him, releasing him to look him in the eye.
"Of course I do, I would never hurt my family like that other Wyatt did," he smiled again, but it was tinged with something strange and unreadable, but Piper chose to ignore it.
"Well Chris," said Leo laughing, "I guess no matter what time line you'll always end up helping Wyatt in some way or another." Chris tried to laugh, but it came out as more of a bitter snort.
He heard Lilly calling him, but he hesitated to leave, this Chris didn't love Lilly, he had never known her, this Chris loved Bianca, but she was dead in this timeline too. Finally he said, "I have to go, Lilly's calling." He orbed to their house. It was much smaller than the Manor, but big enough for the soon to be three of them.
"Hey honey," she said, kissing him on the cheek. Chris tried not to stiffen or dodge the kiss. It was easier though because upon seeing Lilly, the other Chris was fighting harder for control, Chris was able to suppress him, and find out why he loved Lilly so much. She was nothing like Bianca though, she was gentle and most of the time a pacifist. The other Chris made him wonder why he was doing this, throwing everything away after fighting so hard for so long. He was like a selfish child, willing to throw all this away because it wasn't really what he wanted, it would never be what he wanted until Bianca was alive and by his side. What the hell is wrong with you?! The other Chris screamed at him This is what you wanted, why you fought, a happy future where mom was alive. Screw Bianca, Lilly is one hundred times better than Bianca could have ever been. I will not you throw away my life for her. Chris gave a surge of strength and broke through the barrier the other Chris had created.
"Lilly," he said urgently, "Help me, the other Chris is trying to control me and Wyatt is evil, they've joined sides. Tell my mom and dad before it's too late, they need to—" The other Chris regained control and smiled at the look of fear on Lilly's face. Lilly tried to run but he grabbed her arm, "No no no, can't have you orbing to my family and telling them everything, now can I?" he conjured five crystals and trapped her in the magical cage. He blew her a kiss and waved, then orbed out.
Lilly sank to the floor and placed a hand on her stomach. She cried and hoped that her Chris could fight the other seemingly evil Chris.
