Chapter Six - Loss

Wyatt orbed the struggling Stella to his office, where he set her in his chair and began to tie her up. "Aaron!" he yelled, calling his assistant. Stella punched Wyatt's arm and screamed. He just laughed, wrapping an arm around her body to hold her down while he secured her to the chair. When he was done, he looked up to see Aaron watching. "Good, you're here! My brother found out about Bianca and is on his way to save her. The only problem is,
if I know Chris, he asked our mother for help. I need you to send a team of demons to the Halliwell manor to distract her and my aunts." Aaron replied, "It will be done! What about her?" he asked, pointing to Stella. "I have special plans for her later, I'll leave her here for now." Wyatt said, running his finger down Stella's face. She jerked her head away, glaring at him. "Keep your hands off me!" she yelled at him. As Aaron shimmered out, Wyatt bent down and kissed Stella, gripping her head painfully. He pulled away and winked at her. "I have to go deal with my brother now, but I'll be back, then we can have some fun!" he leered at her. "You bastard, don't you hurt him!" Stella yelled. She tried to conjure a knife, but it wasen't working. "Oh, by the way, you can't use your powers here, only I can." Wyatt smirked, taking a long piece of cloth and gagging Stella with it. He orbed out, leaving her behind.

Chris arrived at the final location. "Bianca, where are you?" he called. He followed the winding path until he came to the scene of his dreams, complete with a huge pit. He saw a cage with a woman inside and he ran to her. "Bianca?" he asked as he got closer. The lovely woman raised her head and stared at him. "Chris, is it really you?" She stood up and walked closer to him, her brown eyes filling with tears. "You have to get me out of here, before he comes back!"
she pleaded. Chris looked around, but he couldn't see how to deactivate the cage. Hearing orbs, he turned around and saw Wyatt heading towards them. "What did you do with Stella?" he asked, clenching his fist in rage. "She's safe, for now. What do you care, you found your fiancee? Too bad it's only in time to say good-bye!" Wyatt responded, an evil smile on his face. He threw Chris against the stone wall and pulled out a remote from his pocket.
Hitting a button, he lowered the barrier and grabbed Bianca by the arm. "You shouldn't have betrayed me, now you get to watch him die!" he told her.

Bianca was mad, she'd had enough. Pulling loose of Wyatt, she slapped his face. "Someone needs to knock you off your high horse and remind you that having power doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!" She conjured an athame and challenged him. Wyatt was briefly surprised, but recovered quickly.
Sensing Chris getting to his feet, he flung him into the cage and activated the barrier. Facing Bianca, he took his own athame out of his pocket and circled her, looking for an opening. Bianca leaped forward, slashing Wyatt's arm. He reacted quickly, cutting her shoulder. He laughed, saying, "I can heal my wounds, but you can't heal yours." Bianca spun around, attempting to stab him again, but he orbed out, reappearing behind her. "Bianca, look out!" Chris yelled, but he was too late. Wyatt grabbed her, stabbing her in the stomach. As she screamed in pain, he said, "You should have picked me, my dear. I'm truly sorry!" He gently laid her on the ground then turned to look at Chris. "I'll deal with you later, first I've got to take care of a certain detective." he said as he orbed out.

Chris was horrified. He tried to break through the barrier but he just bounced back. Bianca was gasping for breath when she turned her head and saw that Wyatt had dropped the remote. She grabbed it and pushed the button to remove the barrier. Chris ran to her, dropping to his knees. He held her close, pressing his hand on the wound. "Dad, help!" he yelled, but no one came. Bianca looked at him. She groaned with pain and squeezed Chris's hand. "He must have sent some of his demons to attack your family. Listen, you...need to save Stella before he hurts her! His office is protected from good magic, but the reversal spell is in...my pocket. Go find her and stop him!" she said weakly. "I will always love you, Chris!" she promised as she closed her eyes and died. Chris broke down and wept, holding her close. "I'm sorry I didn't come sooner, I'm sorry I didn't remember!"
