Okay, I changed something very small for a reason that will be found out why in a bit of time of course. In the last chapter I changed the way they got to his house. Originally it was her shimmering, but I decided that it should be something else. She, instea, orbed him to his own backyard.... Don't worry you will get it in a bit.

Oh, lots of thanks to OTHCharmedFreak, I see you've reviewed almost all my stories. Thanks a bunch you are totally awesome. You are also the reason I am updating so much better as of late. Kudos to you for reviewing so I have a fan to write for.

Of course, this applies to shortie4283.

But where have the reviews from Isabella and Katie all gone? J

"Hold on a sec! Wyatt Halliwell, where did you come from? And why are you with her?" Piper cried out as she quickly strided into the backyard.

The natural twilight of the dark world around them dimmed as the backyard filled with the feeling of immense power showering over it like a bath of meteor showers.

"Now, Piper, let's hear their story first." Leo said as he tried to calm his wife down a bit. He knew his wife was angry though. He knew it would take a lot to get her off of her overprotective, and worried war path for Wyatt's well being .

He had figured that Wyatt had just needed time alone earlier that day when his son hadn't come in for the family supper. So, he had been fine with him being away. He knew more then anyone how stressful not to mention insane the whole Halliwell life could be.

Hell, they lived in a full house without much privacy where half the time it was infested with incoming uninvited pests of demons. Wyatt was the most popular with the demons. They all knew he was the powerful twice-blessed son as well as they all knew that his own younger brother had come back from his own future to change him from turning evil. So, their main priority was to destroy him or change him.

So, Leo had completely understood when his oldest son had disappeared for a brief moment in time.

Of course, when a big paranormal event had spooked the sisters earlier Piper had made Leo search for Wyatt. Who, of course, had been unreadable as well as unsensable.

So, Leo had known as well as Piper that their son was either in grave danger, not on this earthly plane anymore, or else he had just cast a spell to hide himself from their watchful eyes. With their luck they tried to figure it all out, and now here Wyatt was.

He was perfectly healthy and safe and alive. He was standing right in front of them looking more alive then Leo had seen his own son look in years, and he was in deep shit.

Not only had he worried Piper but Leo had had the whole family out trying to figure out where he was in any place they knew him to ever have been in. He had even called Darryl to make sure that nothing really happened to him out in the real world.

Now, here he was. He had returned home verifying the fact that he had in fact concealed himself from them for his own selfish purposes of reuniting for a girl they hadn't allowed him to see from years ago and also showing them he had had a little rendezvous on the way.

Leo blinked a few times to make sure that what he was seeing was for sure. He was seeing the real thing. Standing right beside his own son was Brooke Glenview.

If it had been a few years back, she would have been a welcome sight to see, but years had changed her. She no longer shown with the innocence and kindness that had made Wyatt fall for her.

Now, she had an edge to her that she hadn't had before and the way she stood with her head titled back and a holy than thou smile spread over her face didn't help matters either.

Leo had made his son stop seeing her years ago when he had heard of her future to come. Hell, the Elders had even seen to starting the chain of events that would get her father to relocate by taking her mother's life.

Something he had never really consented to, but whatever saved his own family as well as his firstborn any trouble had been for the first.

The Elders had done it all for a reason.

That reason was very apparent as she stood before them. Her future and destiny hadn't been interlinked with their own. Sure, she had magic in her fate, but it was a dark magic. She possessed magic a human shouldn't have. She possessed borrowed magic.

Wyatt looked back from his Elder all-knowing peeved father to his very upset and worried mother and bit his lip. He had wanted a few more minutes with Brooke alone. It had been forever since he had been with her and now here he was with her, but his own parents were ruining it.

Her stolen kiss sat on his parched lips as his senses stayed in overdrive with it.

He took a side glance of her now that he could see her in the backyards brightly lit path. She had changed more then he had saw at the pool. Her hair was dark and wet as well as the rest of her and him now after she had laid over him on the trip here.

Her dark chestnut brown hair was longer then it had been before. Instead of the straight small bob she had had a few years ago it flowed down her back in a disarray of curls. Her topaz eyes had never changed in color, but the look in them now was a bit harder then he had ever seen before as well as untrusting with a small glint of wry humor over the salutation at hand. Her clothes were plastered to her and she was still barefoot.

She didn't let it show on the surface, but every time the wind blew she shivered heavily. She didn't meet his averted eyes though. Instead, she stared straight on into his father's and his mother's with a cold rage of bitterness he had never seen from her before.

He realized then that she must have known about the Elders decision to kill her mother.

He realized then that maybe this wasn't the most neutral ground that they should be on now. Since, of course, his parents had never liked him with her together and now that she had lost most of the goodness they were used to in her they probably saw her as the enemy.

"Answer me, young man!" Piper persisted as he ignored her husband's try to calm her down and stood with her dark brown hair flying in the hesitant wind and her hands on her hips.

Wyatt realized then that she was in her old fluffy pink slippers that Chris and he had bought her for Christmas when they were kids and deep blood red robe to cover her pajamas. The time must have passed without him realizing it or something because here he was and his mother was just about ready to go to bed. Which wasn't a good thing since she was going to be very crabby for still being awake past her bedtime.

His mother had always been obsessed with running the family like a tight knit clock or something. She was the first to rise and the last to go to bed. She must have stayed up to make sure he was going to get home safely. Which meant that he was in deep trouble keeping her up late. Especially, since that meant that his father had probably been talked into scanning for him and here he was no where to be scanned.

Nice work, Wyatt. He chided himself as he watched his mother's deep brown eyes as they looked into his own.

"Mom, look.."

"Oh, no.. No, mom, look.. I have looked. Your father has looked, Phoebe has premonitioned her butt off, Paige has orbed around, Chris has checked every place imaginable for you, Darryl has put an a. p. b. out on you, and I have been scrying for you all day. Don't look, mom, me because I have looked. It's about time you start to explain yourself, young man." she replied. "And explain why you have brought a paragon of evil to our very own backyard."

"Oh, come on, mom." he said.

Piper looked at her son and then folded her arms over her chest as her pale face screwed up into a look of complete impatience, "Wyatt."

"Wyatt, now is not the time to try to push your mother's buttons." Leo told his son as he looked from his son to Piper to Brooke.

"Fine, I read something in the paper about Brooke. Well, not her really her friend who was murdered in a paranormal way at her house and I went to make sure that she was okay."

"Did it ever cross your mind that she could have been the one doing the murdering?" Piper asked her son tilting her head to the side and studying Brooke now.

"Oh, hell, no. I did not kill my best friend!" Brooke cried taking a step forward.

Wyatt stood in surprise a moment and then he stepped to her side to keep her back. His mother wasn't in the mood for anything at the moment. If she got the chance to destroy an evil she would let off her steam that way. As he stepped to Brooke's side, Leo stepped to Piper's to make sure she didn't do anything she would regret later.

"Of course, you, being the paragon of good, you probably think I did since you don't agree with what I've become. Of course, correct me if I am wrong, but you didn't like me much before when I was good either so what am I supposed to do about that?" Brooke asked Piper.

"You're right. I never really liked you. You becoming remotely evil over the years hasn't really helped your cause much either."

"Look who's calling the kettle black."

"What is that supposed to mean," Piper asked as flicked her hand in annoyment.

"You created me, Piper. Or don't you want to have that over your head?"

"Oh, really. How did I create you?" Piper asked annoyed.

As she asked a nosy group that consisted of Chris, Paige, and Phoebe all came out into the yard. Chris stopped to the side of both his aunts and gaped at the sight in front of him. Then, he along with his aunts squinted to make sure that what they were seeing was for real.

"Is that?" Paige whispered.

"Yeah." Phoebe replied in a surprised whisper as well as a bit of awe as she stared at the girl in front of them.

"Damn, evil agrees with her." Paige added as they watched.

"Not if Piper has anything to do with it." Phoebe replied.

"Piper, you and your husband had a decision to make regarding my future. I could have stayed her in San Francisco and went on with my normal, bland life never once being exposed to magic unless by you all. Or I could have went to Sacramento where my father would join a magic group, and become in your terms a 'paragon of evil'. "Brooke replied in a hiss. "So, Piper, your decision was the tie breaker. You made the decision to get rid so that you wouldn't have to worry about Wyatt and I getting any more attached then we already were. Hence, placing me in the path of evil. You have no one other then yourself to thank for that."

Piper gaped at her and then she looked over at Leo disbelievingly, "Is that true?"

"Piper." Leo said softly not at all wanting to be drawn into it.

"Leo, is that true?" she asked already knowing the answer but very much liking being in denial.

It wasn't everyday you found out you were the reason that of one of the most evil let alone powerful beings on Earth became evil in the first place.

"Leo," Piper whispered.

If anyone had been looking at Brooke for that second instead of being so focused on Piper's understanding and ruin over the situation they would have seen a flicker of emotion come from her defensive shield against all of them. They would have seen a brief saddens as well as pity.

Leo told his wife softly as he took a hold of her small hands in his. "Yes, Piper. What she said.. It's all true."
