Chapter 10
As Chris lay in bed his head was spinning from the events of the day. First he was happy to see his brother that was until he went ballistic on him. Then not two hours later his sister in law (even though Wyatt and Autumn weren't married yet, he still considered her his sister) begged him to talk to the very same brother who hit him with an energy ball. Even though he really wanted to reconnect with his brother, the wounds were still too fresh. Rolling over he came face to face with the woman he loved. Amber seemed to be the only thing good in his life right now. She looked like an angel as she slept. Chris couldn't resist himself so he leaned over and kissed the girl on her lips, she stirred just little before lying still once more. A knock at the door disturbed his momentary bliss. "Come in "Chris said as loudly as possible without waking Amber. "I'm so sorry to bother you, but we have major problems on the way". It was Adam, one of his spies. "Wyatt is on" before he could finish his sentence they heard a loud crash followed by screams. The disturbance jolted the girl from her sleep. Chris quickly jumped up from the bed turning to Adam
"Go help the others and call for the whitelighters to take the children to the ghostly plain." Following his lead Amber got up from the bed and put on her combat boots, than she and Chris headed into the battle field.
The scene that they walked in on was gruesome. There were scorch marks and bloody broken bodies everywhere. They knew that the demons were too strong for them, but they still had to fight. Turning to him the girl said "Ok we're going to have to divide and concur. " Not liking the sound of that Chris tried to protest, but it was too late Amber was already battling several demons, this prompted him into action. He threw out his hands throwing 4 demons across the building. One died impaling himself on a steal rod, another was knocked unconscious as the other two made their way to their feet. Pulling the potions out of his back pocket he vanquished the two demons with ease, then he sent an athame into the chest of the unconscious demon not giving him a chance to awaken. His friend Adam wasn't so luck as a Brute demon crushed his head killing him instantly. Knowing that he would have to mourn the death later Chris was on his way further into the battle when he noticed that there was a large number of injured and trapped witches, so he called for the 4 remaining whitelighters and instructed them to get everyone to safety. He continued to fight giving it all he had, using his telekinesis, potions, energy balls and any other weapon he could find. After the work he did, he only managed to kill 2 more demons. When he looked up he saw a whitelighter named Lizzie reach for Casey, a sixteen year old witch surrounded by demons, but before she could one of his brothers's henchmen shot her with a poisonous arrow, killing on contact. Damn it, he thought. Just yesterday they seemed so prepared of this moment, now most of them were dead. As he watched the girl scream out in terror, Chris knew he had to get to her. Throwing demons left and right he finally made it to the frightened girl, and immediately orbing her to the ghostly plain. He wasn't ready for what he would find upon his return.
Steve lay there in a pool of blood, he could smell the Alliance leader's burnt flesh, as three of Wyatt's upper level demons stood around him. They were releasing fire from their hands and watching with amusement as they slowly burnt the man alive. Chris was horrified and stood there unable to move. His inner voice cried out, help him you fool or he'll die, but he still couldn't move. It was as if some invisible force was holding him in place, not allowing him to turn away. He winced as he saw a cannibal like demon began to tare into the man, chewing his flesh as the blood poured from his mouth. The man's screams echoed through the building. He felt so helpless, if only he could move, if only he could say something, he'd give anything to erase this scene from his mind. Then suddenly he felt someone behind him. The figured walked around him slowly until he came face to face with the greatest force of evil he's ever scene, it was at that moment that the being spoke to him "So we meet again, little brother." It was Wyatt wearing a very evil grin.
