Chapter 5
Wyatt didn't sleep at all that night. Something felt strange, as if his connection to his sons had been lost some how. The man got up several times during the night, checking on them constantly, but nothing seemed a mist. If only he could figure out who was after them and why, that way he could take care of them and immediately put an end to the threat. The feel of his wife resting her head on his chest broke his thoughts. She looked up at him wearing that beautiful smile of hers that always seemed to light up his day. He smiled back weakly being sure not to alarm her or cause her to panic as she did the day before. As if reading his mind she spoke "Whatever it is honey, we can handle it." He replied in a whisper "I know honey, but you and the boys mean everything to me, I don't know what I would do without you" he always hated how sappy he got around her. "Hopefully you'll never have to find out. "You know I have just the thing to take our minds off of all this." "Really, what would that be?" she questioned knowing full well what the man meant. "Why don't you meet me in the shower and find out for yourself" he finished as he arose from the bed. "Who am I to say no to the almighty Wyatt Halliwell" she responded with a smirk as she followed him into the bathroom.
Wyatt Jr. woke up feeling funny. It was almost as if a part of him was missing. Not to mention the fact that he was sick to his stomach. The boy tried to stand up but each time he would just fall back down onto the bed. Although he was scared the child didn't want to worry his parents or see his Dad get angry so he decided to keep quite. Then all of a sudden he could feel a dark force taking him over. The boy fought hard against it, but in the end the darkness had won. The oldest Halliwell child stood and waved his hand over his bed causing his clothing for the day to appear. The items included a black shirt, black pants, black belt and black shoes. Satisfied with his selection he snapped his fingers allowing the water to flow from the showerhead in the nest room. Walking into the room he used his telekinesis to slam the door shut behind him.
"Mom, Dad!" a very frightened Chris screamed from his room. His young mind couldn't comprehend what was going on; all he knew was that he felt really bad. Suddenly his parents appeared in front of him. "What's wrong sweetie?" his mother asked with her voice full of concern as she sat down on the bed next to him. "I don't feel good" "Ok honey daddy's going to make it all better" she said as Wyatt tried to heal his son. "Why the hell isn't it working?" his father yelled out in frustration. Now he was sorry that he bothered them, he always hated when his father got angry. Out of nowhere he felt even worse than he did before. He then saw an image of himself throwing an energy ball at a young witch, something that should have scared him to death, but somehow it now brought a smile to his face and it felt good and right instead of wrong like his parents had taught him. He looked up once he felt his older brother's presence in the room. "Mother, Father, what's going on?" His tone of voice and the way he spoke sent chills up their spines and his attire was not helping. "Umm, your brothers not felling very good Wy" "Actually Father I'm feeling just fine now." Before they could question the boy, cries came from Wes's room. Autumn was the first to leave the room with her husband hot on her trail. Turning around he looked at the boys with intense scrutiny. "Are you boys feeling alright?" "Yeah we're fine Father you should really go check on Wesley, don't worry about Chris I'll help him get dressed. "Ok I'll be back in a few" Wyatt said as he reluctantly left the room. He was convinced now more than ever that something was horribly wrong.
It was now early noon by the time everything got back to "normal". The children were playing in the family room while Autumn and Wyatt discussed the events that took place that morning. "Do you think that someone cast a spell on the yesterday without us knowing?" "I'm not sure" "How the hell are you not sure? You're the got damn twice blessed one, aren't you supposed to know EVERYTHING?!?! God you are so useless, I don't even know why I married you." Autumn gasped at her last words, and the hurt look on her husbands face solidified her guilt causing her to fall into his arms. "I'm so sorry honey, I'm just scared. I don't understand how someone could get so close to our kids without us even knowing it." "I know sweetheart, its okay. I'm going to find out who's doing this and when I do they're going to pay with not only their lives but those of their family's as well. I promise you that." The sound of his voice reminded her of the days where he was evil, but she wouldn't read too much into it given the circumstances. The moment was interrupted by the sound of Chris's voice. "Hey guys, sorry we slept in so late…" The man stopped once he noticed the tears in his sister in laws eyes. "What's going on?" he questioned. "Are the boys alright?" Amber questioned. "No they're not, but we were hoping that the two of you could help us" Wyatt began as the pair filled the other two in.
In the middle of their report the foursome heard two loud crashes that came from the room where the children were playing. When they arrived they all froze in shock and fear of what they saw. Ashley and Piper were both laying in a pool of their own blood while the brothers stood over them wearing looks of pure evil.
