Chapter 12

Leo, Phoebe, Paige and Chris stood lurking in the shadows making sure that they couldn't be seen or heard.

"Put him over there!" Gideon shouted to his demon friend that held a frightened Wyatt in his hands. "I'm so sorry my dear boy but this is for the greater" the man said as he pulled a knife out of his robe.

"Just kill him and get if over with" the impatient demon yelled.

"SILENCE! This takes great concentration not to mention the fact that you haven't even blessed the athame yet.

"Well give it to me" he said as snatched the weapon out of the Elders hands.

"Don't worry, it will be all over soon" Gideon spoke as he stood in front of the child. Then all of a saddened the man went flying across the cave landing hard on the other side much to the amusement of the demon.

"Ha, cute kid" the demon laughed as he watched the Elder get to his feet, but his laughter came to an abrupt end as he burst into flames.

"What the hell is going on?" Gideon shouted, his question was soon answered as he turned around to come face to face with the 6'4" muscular man who just seconds ago was a child.

"This can't be I would have sensed it" the man yelled as he tried desperately to make his escape only to be pulled back down to the earth hard.

"What's the matter Gideon, scared" Wyatt taunted as he advanced on the man.

"Please Wyatt I'm begging you" the man pleaded.

"Sorry Gideon but evil isn't easily persuaded" Wyatt said as he clenched his fist causing the man to violently gasp for breath. He then threw a medium voltage energy ball with just enough electricity to send a good amount of pain through the Elders body.

"Oh don't worry Gideon, our time's not up yet" he said as he twisted one of the mans arms to the point that it was hanging out of it's socket just before he tossed him to the ground like the piece of trash that he was. "Oh what's the matter, is the big bad Elder in pain?" Wyatt laughed.

The group just continued to watch on in shock at the amount of pleasure that the man was getting out of the torture that he was inflecting.

"Do you think we should stop him?" Chris questioned his father.

"No, Gideon deserves everything that Wyatt's giving him. I say that we stay out of his way and let him take care of this" Leo said as he leaned in closer to get a better look. Meanwhile Phoebe and Paige gasped as they saw Wyatt Hit Gideon with another energy ball this time taking it up a notch to prolong the man's suffering.

"Please don't' do this" Gideon said as he once again tried to get away from the man that was heading his way.

"DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT I WOULD LET YOU GO THAT EASY AFTER WHAT YOU PLANNED ON DOING TO ME AND MY BROHER!" Wyatt yelled as he snapped the man's knee causing the point of his shoe to touch the side of his stomach. Then suddenly a table appeared under the man as metal surrounded his wrist and ankles to keep him in place.

"I'm Sorry!" the man screamed. "I'm so, so sorry. Please just let me go and I will leave you and your family alone" the Elder pleaded once more.

"Sorry but I'm having way to much fun my dear boy" Wyatt mocked. The Halliwell's knew that whatever happened next wasn't going to be good.

Once he made sure Gideon was tightly secured in his restraints Wyatt conjured a large bucket in his hand. He then leaned over to the man and whispered in his ear

"You should have never fucked with me, now you're gonna pay!" Wyatt then poured the contents of the bucket over the Elder's hands. The blood curdling screams were so loud that the spectators had to cover their ears as they watched the skin melted away and turned into a black mass. The oldest Halliwell boy then moved to the man's feet where he poured more of the liquid and laughed in amusement as some of the man's bones began to show.

"What's the matter Gideon, not having any fun? Well I doubt my brother was having much fun as he lay bleeding to death after you stabbed him" the man finished with a smirk as he again poured liquid over the man's body causing him to pass out from the pain.

"GET UP YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Wyatt said healing the man just enough to bring him around. "Lucky for you I have to get home soon. So good bye Gideon, it's been my pleasure to make your final moments a living hell. It's kind of ironic when you think about. Maybe you were right, maybe, just maybe, I am the devil" the man finished as he douched the Elder in the rest of the acid and smile as his body was turned into liquid.

After a few minutes Wyatt made his way over to where he knew his family was hiding. When he was close enough to touch them, the man noticed that everyone seemed to tense up, everyone except his father that is.

"I'm not quite sure what to say" the man spoke looking in his oldest son's direction.

"I think we need to get back to Piper" Phoebe said grabbing her sister's hand.

"Ok we'll meet you guys back at the manor. By the way, nice work Wyatt. I couldn't have done it any better myself" Paige said before looking her nephew over once more and orbing out.

"Don't worry about Phoebe Wyatt's she'll come around" the man's father spoke as he too orbed out leaving the two brothers alone.

"Don't tell me that you're afraid of me now, Chris" he said taking a step in his brother's direction.

"I'm not, I'm just shocked that's all" "What did you think that I would go easy on him after he tried to kill us both?" the man questioned trying hard not to lose his temper.

"No, I'm not saying that at all Wy, I'm happy that Gideon's dead. But that leaves only one question. Where do we go from here?"

"Well first things first, we head back to the manor before Piper has a fit. And once we've gotten something to eat and some rest we'll figure everything out then" he said as he wrapped an arm around his brother's shoulder.

"It's good to have you back Wy" Chris said now putting his arm around his brother.

"It's good to be, back Chris and I owe it all to you" The two brothers then smiled at each other before orbing out.
