Chapter 8
Leo Wyatt listen intently as his son filled him in on the events of the day. He backed up a little seeing that the man was becoming angrier as he told the story. "Can you believe that they tried to kill MY WIFE, THEIR OWN MOTHER!!?" he yelled causing the windows to shatter and the doors to blow off of the hinges. Then without even flinching at the damage that he had just caused he continued. "I swear to you the second I get my hands of them I'm going to…" the man stopped when he noticed the devastated look on his wife's face. Feeling bad about his outburst he went over to her and wrapped his arm around the woman trying hard to comfort her and control his temper. Leo on the other hand couldn't be more thrilled about how well his little plan was coming along. He slightly smiled to himself happy to see that his son was reverting back to his old ways so quickly. Then the sound of his younger son's voice broke his thoughts.
"Anyway we tried to talk some sense into the boys but whatever spell that they're under wouldn't allow us to get through to them. It was as if their connection to us was broke somehow." It was Wyatt that now continued "But when Chris and I checked the book it said that the only way this could happen is if the spell or potion came from a family member" At the end of the man's sentence all eyes seemed to be on him accompanied by looks of wonder and intrigue. Deciding to play it cool until he was accused outright he responded "So do you think that someone was able to manipulate the spell or potion somehow?" Wyatt carefully studied the look on the Elders face. As much as he loved his father (ok, tolerated him) he couldn't help but feel as if the man was hiding something. Damn him, he thought. If Leo had anything to do with what happened to his boy's he'd kill him without so much as a second thought. Not wanting to alert the man to his thoughts he answered "That's just it, we don't know. But I'll tell you what I do know, when I find the bastard that's responsible for this I'm going to rip him limb for limb, literally. And then I'm going to heal him just enough to keep him alive while I torture him some more" he finished standing toe to toe with the Elder. After a moment of tension filled silence Autumn spoke "There will be plenty of time for that later. All that matters to me right now is finding my boys and bringing them back home."
Leo sighed in relief believing that his secret was safe once more. Turning to his daughter-in-law he added "Don't worry. We'll all do what's necessary to bring the boys back home safe and sound." Now it was Autumn who was suspicious. Even though the man seemed concerned enough, there was something in his voice that she didn't trust. The sound of someone flaming in shifted her attention. Instantly Wyatt stood side by side with his brother ready to chastise the intruder but the demon beat them to it. "I'm sorry to interrupt my Lords but we have a serious problem on our hands in the form of your sons" In a deep growl Wyatt question the demon "WHAT?! What did they do?" "They are reorganizing the magical world under their rule. Just a little while ago they had all the demons kill the witches and magic creatures" Chris shook his head in disbelief "this is unbelievable, we have to stop them before this gets any worse" "No!" Autumn screamed. "My sons would never do anything like that, you're lying!" but deep down she knew that everything the demon said was true. Now Amber, who had been silent until this moment spoke as she rested a hand on the woman's shoulder. "Of course they wouldn't sweetie. But the truth of the matter is that someone put one hell of a spell on them to make them do this."
"Unfortunately killing the good witches weren't the only thing that they plan on doing" the demon spoke once more. "They're not just trying to take over the magical world. They're after the mortal world as well." Stepping forward Wyatt thanked the demon for his loyalty and then dismissed him before turning back to the group. "Ok father back to why I called you here in the first place. The book has a potion in it to reverse the spell that the boys are under but it requires a drop of blood from every family member and the only one that's missing is you" the man finished as he conjured a needle in his hand. "Do you want to do the honors or shall I?" "I think that I can handle it" the Elder responded. His plan was to prick his finger and make the blood evaporate before it reached the potion, but there were too many eyes on the man for him to pull it off, so he allowed his blood to complete the potion causing it to glow. Leo then handed the potion to his older son. No matter, he thought to himself. It's only a matter of minutes before I get what I want without them even knowing what hit them. "Good now all we need is to summon the boys and we can put an end to their reign of terror." He then turned to his sister-in-law "Go get the girls we need all the family members in the room when we throw the potion" the woman nodded before making her way to get the two children.
A few minutes later everyone was in place and the crystal cage was ready to trap the boys upon their arrival. Looking around the room Wyatt spoke "Is everyone ready?" Seeing everybody nod in agreement he read the spell:
I call upon the power of three to return the Halliwell boys to me
Bring them forth to reconnect with family and friends
Forcing their reign of terror to come to an end
Suddenly thousands of white lights filled the air. Within seconds the three brothers were now fully formed inside the crystal cage warring looks of hatred. Their father simply laughed before saying "Welcome home boys."
