Chapter 7
"MOM! DAD!" a frantic Wyatt called as he tried desperately to heal his younger brother. "MOM, DAD! Please Chris is hurt" he yelled once more hoping that they would hurry.
The sound of footsteps on the stairs filled the air and came to a screeching halt once the group laid eyes on the lifeless form in front of them.
"NO!" the boy's mother screamed as she dropped to her knees. "Chris honey, its mommy, please wake up sweetie" she spoke taking his hand in hers.
"What the hell happened?" the man's father questioned as he also laid his hands over his child praying that there was enough healing power between him and his oldest son to awaken the boy.
Through tears the man answered his father's question "We were on our way downstairs when a darklighter came out of no where and hit him with an arrow"
"Damn it Wyatt you were supposed to protect him!" Phoebe screamed out loud while an equally distraught Paige tried hard to comfort her.
"OH REALLY, WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU WHEN THIS HAPPENED!" the man snapped back in anger. The sound of his brother's heavy breathing caused him to shift his focus.
"Oh Chris, thank God!" Piper said as she wrapped her arms around her youngest son.
"Are you ok?" Leo asked as he threw his arms around both mother and child.
"Wyatt" the boy spoke in a low whisper.
"I'm right here Chris" the man said as he made his way back over to his brother. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine. I blew him up before he could shoot at me"
"You should have done that before he tried to kill your brother!" an angry Leo spoke in a raised voice.
"No, Dad don't blame Wyatt. This wasn't his fault" Chris began as he stood up.
"It all happened so quick I didn't have time to react"
"Well I'm just glad that you're ok" Piper said while struggling to get to her feet.
"For now anyway" Paige added as she moved closer.
"I just get this strange feeling that Gideon sent that darklighter after Chris"
"Why would he do that?" Phoebe now spoke as the group made their way down the stairs.
"Well he probably believes that Leo is dead and with Chris out of the way, there's no one to save baby Wyatt when he goes after him" Paige replied, flopping down onto the sofa as she continued.
"Which also leads me to believe that he still has no idea that future Wyatt is here" "
Yeah but once he knows that I am, he's going to use the other Elders fear of me(at this he smiled) to his advantage and me killing him would only prove that they were right"
"Well the only way that we can take him out without being questioned is if we can prove to the Elders that he's not only insane but he's miss using his powers" Piper added as she looked Chris over one more time making sure that he was completely healed. "Are you sure that you're ok honey? Maybe you need to head back up to the attic where you're safe"
"No Mom, I'm fine. So please stop worrying. Besides having to deal with Gideon is bad enough without having you go into premature labor."
"Yeah he's right. Maybe you should go relax while we take care of Gideon" The oldest Halliwell boy spoke causing everyone to look at him in disbelief.
"What?" the boy asked with a confused look on his face and sounding rather annoyed.
Sensing his brother's unease Chris interrupted them "Listen if we're going to take care of this we need a plan of action. "Wyatt do you think that there's any way for you to show the deal being made between Gideon and the darklighter?"
"Yeah, but why?"
"Because if we can use the extra proof that the psycho Elder is completely out of control and will stop at nothing to kill you. Including the murder of innocent people"
"That just might work" the boy's mother added sounding quite hopeful.
"Ok but let's do this in the attic so he can't sense us or see what were up to" nodding their heads in agreement the Halliwell's made their way to the attic.
Once everyone was in place and the spell was prepared Wyatt read it out loud:
Hidden secrets reveal yourself to me
Showing the truth for all of us to see
Allowing Gideon's acts of indiscretion to come to light
Giving the Elders the proof they need to spare my life
Suddenly Gideon's entire plan come to life right in front of their very eyes. Everything from the killing of Sigmund to making deals with the "Witch Wars" demons to the darklighter to the attempt on Leo's and Chris's lives, all the proof that they needed was there.
"Ok now all we need is to get this to the Elders"
"Well in order for that to happen, I have to go with you" Wyatt said not sounding to happy about having to deal with the ever useless Elders.
"Ok so, we'll all go"
"Well we can't all go, who's going to stay here with baby Wyatt" Phoebe said while gesturing to the still sleeping child.
"I'll stay" Chris spoke as he took a seat next to the younger version of his brother.
"No Chris, I don't want to leave the two of you alone" knowing exactly what his mother was thinking, he spoke once more.
"Don't worry mom, this time we're going to stay here in the crystal cage where we should be safe until you get back"
"I SAID NO!" she screamed causing everyone to jump a little.
After a moment of intense silence Chris continued "Ok fine, then we'll all go" he finished picking up the sleeping child.
"Let's get going then" Piper said joining hands with her husband as everyone orbed out.
Within seconds they were standing in front of a large group of Elders that didn't seem too happy to see them.
"Leo, what are you doing? You know that they are not allowed up here"
"We don't have time for this" Leo spoke taking a step forward. "We have an important matter that needs to be discussed.
"Excuse me. How dare interrupt our commune and demand anything of us" another Elder spoke.
"WOULD YOU ALL JUST LISTEN! Gideon is trying to kill my son and he's willing to hurt others to do it"
"He's not the only one who believes that your son is a threat Leo" a third Elder now spoke.
By this time Wyatt had, had enough of being ignored. "Please, he's killed one of your own, not to mention almost killing my father and my brother. You're just lucky that I didn't take my anger out on all of you. But if you insist upon annoying me, it just may happen anyway"
Seeing the look on the faces of the Elders he continued "What's wrong, are you afraid?" Wyatt spoke as he formed an energy ball in his hand.
"Umm, Wy, I don't think that you're helping" Chris said trying to calm his sibling, whom of which immediately extinguish the ball of death.
"Well, it's no wonder Gideon views you as a threat" yet another Elder spoke.
"Leo I think that it would be in your best interest to take your family and get the hell out of here before we are forced to do something that you won't like"
"How dare you threaten us?" Wyatt spoke once more taking a step forward as the rest of the Elders took one back.
"We don't want any trouble, we just want you to leave now!" the first Elder spoke again.
"No, not until you see Gideon for what he is. Show them Wyatt" with that the truth began to unfold before their very eyes.
