Chapter 6: One child gone, one left
"Don't worry Chris" he said as he finally snapped out of the influence from the spell. Quickly Leo took of his jacket and knelt down by his son. With the jacket around his hand so he wouldn't touch the darklighter arrow directly, he pulled out the arrow which caused Chris to inhale sharply. Leo started to cry slightly as he saw the blood on his sons shirt. The images of him lying on Pipers bed bleeding slowly to death came rushing into his head while he put his hands over Chris' chest and arm to heal him. "Don't you dare to leave me again Chris" he whispered between sobs.
After a few seconds Chris was healed and opened his eyes slowly. Before he could do anything his father hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry Chris. I don't know why I didn't reacted as Kivan shimmered in. I should have…"
"Dad it's okay" Chris said soothingly. "You were under a spell, it wasn't your fault. I'm just happy that you managed to shake it off in time."
Leo pulled away from him and looked at him with imense pain in his eyes. He couldn't help but felt like he had let Chris down again. In the hospital he had promised himself he wouldn't let anything happen to him again and then he just stand there without doing something while this demonic bastard shoot an arrow at him. He was a lausy father. In the future he was never there for his son and now he almost let him die for the second time.
Chris saw the pain his father was in and almost began to cry too as he once again remembered the words from the Angel of destiny. He swallowed "You know, this whole overprotection from you had really started to get on my nerves." Leo flinched and looked up at him. Chris smiled and added "But now I'm really glad that you worry about me again."
Leo smiled slightly at his sons words. "Of course I worry about you Chris. I love you son" he said and hugged him again.
"I know, I love you too dad" Chris choked out as the tears threatened to fall. "And I don't blame you for anything."
After a while they pulled apart and stood up from the floor. "We have to bring mom and my aunts back to normal" Chris said while they started to walk downstairs.
"And how are we going to do this?" Leo asked. Then he remembered that Chris had been already by his senses before Kivan had attacked. "How did you managed to snap out of it?"
"Err… Wyatt helped me" Chris answered.
"How?"
"He remembered me that I have to save him if I don't want to get thrown across rooms from him anymore."
Leo stopped walking abruptly as he realized that Chris wasn't speaking about the two year old toddler in the nursery. "Wyatt – Future Wyatt was here?" he asked shocked.
Chris nodded. "Yeah, but don't worry I sent him back."
"He was the one who broke your arm, right?" Leo asked as he catched up with his son again.
Chris didn't respond for a second but then he turned to face his father. "Yes but as I said, he's now back in the future and we can't worry about him too. Right now we have to vanquish Kivan – quickly."
Leo nodded. "Okay, but if Wyatt came back once he will try again, won't he?"
Chris sighed. He knew his father was right but now they had to take care of Kivan first. "Maybe, but that's not important now. Let's go and see how they're doing downstairs."
Once they arrived in the hallway they heard the sisters laughing about a TV-Show in the living room and walked over to them. "Okay attention please!" Chris said as they didn't even looked up as he and Leo entered the room.
Now they turned their heads towards the two men still with this careless smiles. "Hey why are you making so serious faces? Come over here and sit down. This show is so funny" Phoebe said cheerfully.
Chris rolled his eyes and went over to the TV to switch it off. "Hey!" the sisters exclaimed "What did you do that for?"
"Because you are under some spell that makes you forget about your responsibiltiys" Leo answered for Chris.
"Oh Leo cut it out" Piper sighed. "We're not under a spell, we just want to relax a bit."
"Piper that's not normal what you are doing. You didn't even cook lunch today and you love it to cook" Leo tried to convince her. Piper remained silent after this. She couldn't deny the truth of Leos words, but still she thought he was overreacting. Was it really that bad if she doesn't care about everything for once?
"Don't worry so much Leo" Paige said and stood up to turn on the TV again, but Chris blocked her way. "Paige listen, this spell is dangerous. Kivan will soon come after us now that he sees that Leo and I shook it off. You have to take this serious."
The sisters looked at each other for a second then Piper said "You two should go out and have some fun. We'll go to the beach." With that she and Phoebe grabbed Paiges hands and they orbed out of the manor.
"Great. And what now?" Leo asked frustrated.
Chris thought about it for a few seconds then he answered "How about you stab me in front of them?"
Leo looked at him, first thinking Chris had just made a very inappropriate joke, but then he saw the serious look on his face. "Are you out of your mind?" he gasped. "I'm not going to stab you! For what use would this be anyways?"
"Well you were able to shake the spell off as you saw that I was hurt. Maybe it will work by them too" Chris explained calmly.
Leo shook his head. "Forget it Chris!"
"Dad, I know that…"
"I said no!" Leo yelled. "What the hell are you thinking? I could never…" his voice broke.
Chris walked over to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulder. "I'm sorry dad."
"I don't want to hear something like this from you again, have you understand?" Leo ordered. "We'll find a other way."
Chris nodded. "Okay but we have to hurry. I have the bad feeling that Kivan will soon attack again."
Kivan was furious. He had planed to attack this night but now the two wightlighters aren't under his spell anymore and he couldn't risk that they would warn the witches. He knew that he had to attack now or his plan would fail. Quickly he went over to the black ball in his cave and put his hands on it. Immediately the ball became a hologram and showed him the two wightlighters. They were standing in the living room and talked about how they could get the sisters back to normal. With an evil smirk he took away his hands and shimmered out.
"Maybe we can make a spell that makes Kivans ineffective" Leo suggested. Before Chris could answer they heard the cry of a baby from upstairs. Alarmed they looked at each other for a second and orbed into the nursery. There they saw that Wyatt had put up his shield to defend himself from Kivan, who was standing in the middle of the room, but baby Chris was unprotected. As Kivan wanted to grab him Chris flung his arm and sent him crashing into the wall. "Leo, go and get mom and my aunts!" he yelled while Kivan got to his feet again.
"I'm not leaving you alone with him" Leo protested.
"You have to! We need them to say the spell" Chris said and wanted to walk over to his baby self as Kivan threw an energyball at him. He ducked in time and turned again to his father. "Go, hurry!" Finally Leo orbed out.
Chris looked hatefully at Kivan but suddenly the demon disappeared. He didn't shimmered, he just vanished. Chris frowned worried and went over to the crib. As he looked down at it a sick feeling came over him. He wasn't there. His baby self was gone.
TBC… (Again a cliffhanger, I'm sorry… What will happen to baby Chris? Will they be able to save him?)
