Chapter 12
"Damn it where are you" Gideon shouted as his accomplish reformed.
"My, my, my, aren't we the impatient one? That's not very Elder like you know"
"Time is of the essence so forgive me if I'm a little on edge" the man snapped back in a raised voice.
"I get that"
"So do you have any information for me?" the Elder continued.
"Yes and no"
"What the bloody hell do you mean?"
"If you would shut your mouth for one second maybe, just maybe I'll be able to speak long enough to answer your damn question" the demon of fear replied having had enough of the Elders demands.
"I'm listening"
"Good. The family seems to be distracted as of late. It appears that my little vision sent the younger boy over the edge. Unfortunately the boy's brother was able to save him but all is not lost"
"What do you mean?"
"While I was spying on the sweet little family moment I found out Wyatt's greatest fear" the demon said causing a look of intrigue to form on the Elders face.
"Really? And what would that be"
"The all powerful boy is afraid that he may be evil and that his brother will hate him and become lost to him forever. It's quite heartbreaking" the man spoke with mocked sympathy.
"If we can get close enough to play on his fears we can get him out of the way long enough to go after Leo and the children"
"What about the sisters? Their not going to let the children out of their sight for one second, how are we going to get them?" replied Barbus.
"Their going to want to go after Wyatt to save him from himself and that would leave Leo alone and caring for the children"
"And that's when we'll get rid of them all" the demon grinned at the thought of the slaughter. "So what do we do now?"
"Go back to the manor, find the boy and when he's alone show him what he fears the most and then we'll be one step closer to accomplishing our goal and getting rid of Leo and children that should never had been" the Elder smirked as Barbus flamed away to put their plan into action.
Back at the manor
"Hey guys. Have you two heard from Wyatt and Chris?" Phoebe asked as Piper and Leo entered the kitchen.
"Yeah they're upstairs sharing in some brotherly bonding time and the younger versions are asleep, thank God" the woman said feeling completely exhausted.
"That's good, I'm glad Chris is ok for a minute there I thought he was going to…" Paige trailed off not really wanting to finish her sentence.
"I know, so did I. My poor baby, he's been through so much. I can't believe he would think for one minute that I would be better off without him"
"Well we'll let him know how much we love him the second he and Wyatt are done talking" Leo said as he held the woman tight in his arms.
"I'm just happy that Chris is back and he and Wyatt are talking and everything's ok with you guys now all we have to do is vanquish Gideon and Barbus" Phoebe replied before taking a seat at the table.
"Speaking of those two they haven't made any moves in the last three hours which is making more than a little nervous" the younger sister spoke getting an uneasy feeling.
"I don't know and right now I don't care. I just want to spend the evening with my husband and my boys. I was thinking that maybe the four of us could go out to dinner. That reminds me Paige can you watch the smaller ones" asked Piper with a funny expression on her face. "Wow that sounded really weird"
"Yeah it did and yes I will" the woman smiled.
"Great. I'll go get the boy's" Piper said before leaving the room and heading upstairs.
When their mother entered the room both boys were laying on the bed laughing hysterically about something which instantly caused the woman to giggle. "What's so funny" she asked as she sat down next to her two children.
"Oh nothing" her youngest son replied while wiping a tear from his eye.
"Oh what is this some boy's only thing where mom's not supposed to know" she spoke in a hurt voice.
"Don't take it personally Mom. Besides I don't think you want to know about my first experience" Wyatt spoke causing his brother to laugh again.
"First magical experience" Piper questioned not quite understanding what her son was referring to.
"Yeah Mom, magic, that's it" said the woman's older son who tried desperately to stifle a laugh.
"Eww, yeah you're right I so don't want to know" the woman said as her face turned a bright red color. "Ok if you guys are done making fun of you mother, your Dad and I want to know if the two of you would like to join us for dinner"
"Shouldn't we deal with Gideon and Barbus first" her younger said voicing his concerns.
"Yeah but that can wait. I mean they wouldn't risk attacking us again so soon right? Come on Chris I think it would be good for us" the woman replied as she brushed her son's cheek.
Smiling back at his mother Chris looking into her eyes and couldn't help but give in. After all he missed his mother so much that it would be stupid of him to give up an opportunity like this. Plus he could also use the time to hang out with his brother some more "Ok Mom, but the second we're back we have to get rid of them before they do some serious damage"
"Ha. You're such a Mama's boy"
"Shut up"
"Ditto" the woman smiled taking her baby boy's side.
"Hey! You're not supposed to take sides" the oldest protested.
"And you're not supposed to pick on your little brother so we're even" the woman smiled before giving her youngest son a kiss on the cheek.
"Insult to injure" replied the twice blessed son.
"Ha Mom likes me best" the boy taunted as he stood up.
"That's ok Dad still loves me"
"No I'm pretty sure he likes me best too"
"I do" there father's voice came from downstairs followed by the laughter of his aunts.
"Ha that makes me what two for two" Chris smiled at the bewildered look on his brother's face.
"Mom" he said stretching his hand out for the woman to take.
"Now if you're nice we'll let you join us"
"Oh I feel so wronged here" the older man said in mocked pain.
"Don't worry honey we love you both. Now come on we need to leave soon or we're going to have to wait hours for a table" the woman said as she and her younger child made their way to the door.
"Ok I'm coming" Wyatt said as his mother and younger sibling left the room and headed down the stairs.
Grabbing his jacket Wyatt was set to join the rest of his family when felt the presence behind him. Turning around and readying himself for a fight Wyatt came face to face with his brother whom of which appeared to be staring a hole through him.
"Chris?"
Barbus- You're afraid that you are evil and that your baby brother hates you and that he's lost to you forever.
The demon of fear spoke before he began on his quest to drive the twice blessed son insane.
