Chapter 6

"Wyatt!" Piper shouted as an almost lifeless Leo lay in her arms. "Wyatt, please, your father's been hurt"

Within seconds Wyatt was kneeling down next to his mother with his hands over the injured Leo, he then shouted to his aunt Paige to go sit with his brother just in case Gideon tried to get to him in his absence.

"Come on Leo" the man spoke rather than pleaded. After a few minutes Leo was healed.

"I can't believe that son of a bitch" the man spoke while getting to his feet.

"What the hell happened?" asked an angry Wyatt.

"Gideon must have been spying on us while we were going over our plans to have him striped of his powers. Leo was getting ready to take the information that the Elders would need in order to accomplish this but he stabbed him before he had the chance." Piper finished as she took a seat at the table. That's when her oldest son lost it.

"And while all of this was going on what the hell were you doing?"

"Wyatt" Phoebe began but her nephew was too angry to listen to anyone.

"You have to be the most useless group of witches I have ever seen! Not only were you not able to save Christopher in what was supposed to happen, but now you almost lose Leo too."

"Now you wait just one second young man" Piper started, but Wyatt would be the one to finish.

"Listen when I want your opinion Piper I'll ask for it, other wise keep your got damn mouth shut! Now I'm going back to my brother, do you think that you can go ten minutes without getting yourselves into trouble or almost killed?" Wyatt then exited the room leaving his hurt and shocked family to watch as him walk away.

"You may leave now" Wyatt shouted to his youngest aunt as he entered the attic.

Brushing off the coldness of his voice the woman addressed her nephew "Is Leo ok?"

"Yes he's fine, now go!" he yelled again.

"Listen Wyatt I don't know what your problem is but I'm not going to allow you to hurt my sister any more. She's your mother and she loves you. In fact you're the whole reason all of us are going through this right now, so you may want to show a little bit more gratitude" she shouted back.

"Are you finished?"

"No I'm not and another thing…"

"You know what; I never asked any of you to do anything for me. In fact since you are hell bent on blaming someone then you can start with Chris. Because if it weren't for him coming back here and messing with my destiny then none of us would have to deal with the current situation. Now leave us before I do something that you won't live to regret!" he threatened as formed an energy ball in his hand.

"Fine I'm going but know this, we all love you, whether you want us too or not, we do. And as far as MY nephew is concerned he should have had a better big brother than what you've been too him. Because quite frankly you don't DESERVE HIM!" Paige shot back as she left her nephew to reflect on her words.

The second that the woman was out of sight Wyatt Halliwell sat with his brother once more.

"How dare they blame me for this? If it weren't for me their oh so wonderful Leo, would be dead." He looked at Chris as he spoke again "This is all your fault. If you had chosen to join me instead of having to play hero all the time, then everyone would be safe and left to live their pathetic, miserable little lives. Damn you Christopher!" he shouted as the tears stared to flow from his eyes followed by heavy breathing, then suddenly he stopped.

"No, I'm Wyatt Halliwell I'm stronger than this" he screamed jumping to his feet and causing the windows to shatter. He quickly recited a spell to repair damage before claming down some.

"Ok Wyatt think, what's your next move?"

"I don't know but maybe we can find out together" a voice came from behind him. He turned around and there stood a very wide awake Christopher Perry Halliwell.

"Hey big brother, so nice to see you" Wyatt immediately through his arms around his younger sibling which pleasantly surprised the boy.

"So does this mean that you're not going to kill me?"

Pulling back he answered "I'm not sure yet, let's see if you do anything to piss me off in the next few hours" Chris slightly smiled at this, even though he knew that his brother was not kidding.

"So what's happened since I've been asleep, courtesy of Dad I'm sure"

"Yeah, nothing really, just trying to find a way to take out Gideon" the man lied trying not to upset his brother.

"I know. I heard you and Aunt Paige as I was waking up"

Feeling bad about the conversation that his brother apparently over heard he added "I'm sorry you had to hear that, but every word I spoke was the truth, whether you chose to accept it or not."

"We can argue about that later, right now we need to go downstairs and help the others" But as the younger boy tried to walk away the larger man grabbed his arm.

"Wait, I can't face her right now." Chris knew the man was going to say this since he heard him crying a few minutes earlier, a fact that he wouldn't inform him of.

"Ok Wy" this brought a smile to his face, since his brother hadn't called him by his nickname in years.

"Thanks. Chris how do you do it? How can you look at her without losing it?"

"In all honesty Wy, I don't know. I just figured saving you was more important. Besides if I saved you I knew that there was a chance Mom would be alive in the new future"

"That's my baby brother for you, always the constant dreamer" he spoke with a half smile, something else that the younger of the two hadn't seen in a while.

"Maybe it won't be a dream for much longer Wy. Maybe we can have her and the aunts back. But sitting here hoping and wishing isn't going to make it happen. The sooner we take care of Gideon, the quicker we can get out of here."

"You're right. Come on let's go" the older man spoke as he threw his arm over his brother's shoulders and the pair made their way to the door.

They were at the top of the stairs when the younger sibling's body jerked and he stopped short.

"Chris are you alright?" the older man asked. When the boy didn't respond the man forced him to turn around and that's when he saw it and the person responsible.

At the bottom of the steps a darklighter tried quickly to make his exit, but unfortunately for him, he wasn't quick enough. Flicking his hands Wyatt instantly blew up the demonic hit man, as his severely injured younger brother crashed to the floor.
