Chapter 3
"Is the potion ready yet?" the evil dictator's words echoed throughout the dimly lit attic of what used to be his family home.
"Just a few more minutes my Lord" the demon replied adding another ingredient to the mixture.
"Good then we're right on schedule Binky" he smirked in the direction of his brother's fiancé who only glared at him in return.
"Don't worry sweetie" the man began softly creasing the woman's face. "Christopher will be home soon enough to…relieve you. Maybe then you'll stop being such a stuffy little bitch" he spoke in warning tone.
"I'm sorry Lord Wyatt. I'll try a little harder to work on my behavioral problems" the woman said hating herself more and more with each pacifying word she spoke.
"See to it that you do or reunion with my brother will be a short lived one" Wyatt said giving the woman an evil gaze that sent chills down her spine.
Bianca watched on intently as Wyatt conversed with a few of his upper level demonic henchmen. She wanted so badly to tell the man exactly what she thought of him, but she knew that would only result in the loss of not only her mother's life, but hers and Chris's as well.
Her separation from the man she loved had proven to be even more difficult than she thought and dealing with his evil brother on a daily basis only made things worse. The young phoenix's mood changed from anger to sadness as she contemplated the consequences that joining the dark side would have on her relationship with the youngest Halliwell brother. She knew that her extremely evil and demonic deeds since her fiancés departure will not go over too well with the boy. She just hoped that he will come to understand why she did it, if not she would do whatever it took to convince him.
The sound of her soon to be brother in laws voice broke her train of thought. "DID YOU HEAR ME?" the man yelled into her ear rather annoyed by the woman's short attention span.
"No Wyatt. I'm sorry I didn't" the woman replied.
"I SAID that the potion is finished and it's time to go collect our darling little Christopher. By the way Binks I'm sure my brother will forgive you for your acts of treachery during his absences. If not, I'll be sure to put in a good word for you during the after glow of my session with him" the man snickered at the look of disgust the woman held.
"Here you are my Lord" a demon spoke as he presented Wyatt with a red potion vial.
"Are you sure that the portal will stay open long enough for us to complete our mission?" the master questioned.
"Yes my Lord. It will stay open for as long as you command it to"
Turning to back to his assassin the man gave his usual crooked smile and said "Good, now let's go get our boy"
It seemed like days had passed by the time Christopher Halliwell finally came too from his drunken stupor. He slowly raised his head off of the hard surface and blinked several times giving his eyes a moment to adjust to the digital clock that sat on his mother's desk. The pounding in his head wasn't aiding him in his mission but rather hindering him as he grabbed his temples and rubbed them slightly. "Shit" the boy said as his vision came into focus. "6:30?" he continued looking at the clock puzzled as to how much time had gone by. Then it hit him.
He had been unconscious since eleven o'clock that morning after trying unsuccessfully to find something that would help block him from his brother's radar. The next thing Chris knew, he was spiraling out of control and drinking heavily as he wrote a letter to his family explaining the situation. The boy's body immediately tensed up as he could feel his brother getting closer. It was then that Chris stood up, unsteadily at first, before putting the letter to his family in his pocket and orbing out.
In the kitchen of his family's home, he could sense that he was alone while his Mom and Aunts where upstairs fussing over his brother's sweeter counter part. He then fixed himself a cup of coffee to help him sober up a bit and made himself comfortable at the table. His mind flashed different scenarios as he thought about what his brother was going to do to him once he was back in his time and only one word came to mind, but he wouldn't allow himself to say it. Instead he chose to think about the only good thing he had to go back to, Bianca, his fiancé and love of his life.
Chris just prayed that his brother hadn't harmed the girl in any way. That is if he hadn't already killed her for betraying him. Taking a small sip from the cup Chris remembered that his mother kept a bottle of aspirin in one of the kitchen draws. Getting up slowly and moving as fast as his body would allow him to, he opened the draw and took two capsules out of the bottle and swallowed them before replacing the container back in the draw, all the while being watched by a very intrigued Piper Halliwell.
Piper stood in the door way and watched as the man who might be her second child sit at the kitchen table starring hopelessly into his coffee mug. His deathly appearance made the woman wonder if the boy was sick or not as her motherly instincts seemed to be screaming to her that something was wrong, but until she had proof that he was in fact her son, she would not pry. Taking deep breath the woman entered the room where the boy remained unaware of her presents or pretended not to care.
"Chris" she said approaching the boy with caution. "Are you ok?"
"Go away Piper" the boy said without lifting his head.
"Wow what did I do or not do this time" she said referring to the many demon hunts that she refused to join him on.
"Nothing, I'm just not in a talking mood that's all"
"I see. You're not looking too good, do you want me to call Leo for you?" she said trying not to let the dejection show in her voice.
"I said I'm fine. Now please just do what you need to do and go away" the boy's voice broke slightly as he tried not to cry in front of his mother. As much as he wanted and needed her comfort he knew that no good would come of revealing his true identity to her, at least not until he was long gone so he wouldn't see the hurt look in her eyes or deal with the many questions that he was sure she would throw his way.
"You don't have to be so nasty Chris" the woman scolded the boy. "If it has anything to do with Wyatt then tell me so I can help you" she pleaded.
"I can't go into it Piper. Listen I know that you never really like me or trusted me but everything I've done since the moment I got here has been for you and your family" the boy said holding back the tears that threatened to fall.
"Chris" the woman said moving to sit next to him. "Whatever it is you can tell me. We can get through this together. You just have to confide in me" the woman smiled warmly as she brushed the hair out of the boy's face. The boy then lifted his blue-green eyes to meet this mother's gaze and that's when she saw it for the first time. Those eyes had Leo written all over them. In that instant it was as if a window had been abruptly opened and the light shone in blindingly, illuminating the truth that had been hidden in the darkness for way too long. At that moment Leo chose to orb in.
Leo didn't know what to make of the situation in front of him. There sat his wife looking almost lovingly into the eyes of the man that had spent the past several months ruining his family.
"What the hell is going on here?" the man asked as he approached the two. When neither of them responded the man repeated his original question "Umm hello! I said what the hell is going on?" he said tapping his hand on the woman's shoulder bringing her out of her trance.
"Nothing, in fact we're finished here. Good-bye Piper" the boy said before standing and orbing out.
"Piper what was that about" The Elders question went unanswered as the woman mad a dash for the stairs with the man hot on her trail.
Meanwhile in the attic stood a visibly shaken Chris. He could feel his brother's presents getting closer and closer. Not to mention the fact that he was about to lose his mother all over again who just minutes ago looked at her as if he were her little boy again. But that wasn't possible, or was it? Had Piper finally figured out his secret? The boy didn't have any time to ponder any further as he heard his Aunts enter the attic.
"Chris, what are you doing here?" Phoebe began as the two women made their way over to where he was standing.
"Is everything ok? You look like hell" Paige picked up where her sister left off.
Neither the boy nor his aunts had time to utter another word as their attention was drawn to the attic wall that was now glowing a bright blue color. Suddenly a portal opened as two uninvited guest step out. One was a tall and well built blond man in his early twenties the other was a slightly younger woman with dark hair.
"Hello Christopher" the man said in a disturbingly rough voice.
"Hello, Wyatt" the boy replied not quite sounding like himself.
The two stood glaring at each other as their parents entered the room. "Chris what's going on?" the woman questioned not liking the small distance between her son and the intruder.
"It's ok Piper" the boy said moving to stand by his brother's side.
"I'm going home" he said throwing the letter down at his mother's feet.
"I don't understand. You came here to help us save Wyatt and now you're just going to leave?" the woman spoke not knowing what to do.
"Don't worry I'll take good care of him, Mom" the blond man replied. Everyone in the room froze not believing what they heard.
"Wyatt?" the woman said in a state of shock.
"Yes Mom it's your little boy. I bet you're surprised at how absolutely hot I am, right?" the man smirked.
Piper and Leo stood looking at the adult version of their oldest child. Nothing about him even remotely resembled the sweet innocent child that was a sleep in his crib. The love that they saw in their little boy's eyes everyday was replaced by a cold seething hatred and ominous presences that could stop someone's heart with little or no effort.
It became painfully clear that everything Chris had warned them about was true. The boy's mother looked into his eyes and saw the evil child from her dream starring back at her while the cries of the boy's abused brother echoed in her mind "Mommy please help me. Please Mommy, make him stop! Don't let him hurt me again please!" The tiny voice played over and over again but now it was big Chris's eyes that held the terrified look.
"You don't have to go honey" Piper said causing those around the woman to send curious gazes her way. "You can stay here with me, where you're safe"
"Sorry mommy dearest but Christopher has to come home now. My rebellious little brother should have never come here to begin with" he said running a sickening hand over the boy's face. "Have I told you how much I missed you little brother? Oh and don't worry I fully intend to picking up where we started" the man said pulling the boy in closer while his family looked on horrified.
During this time Chris did nothing but stare down helplessly at the floor knowing that without being able to use his powers against his brother he had no shot in hell of escaping him.
"Don't you dare touch him Wyatt!" Piper screamed.
"You know Mom the last time you went one on one with me you lost your life. So I strongly advise you to shut the fuck up"
"This isn't you Wyatt, you're good" Leo spoke not wanting to believe that he had taken the side of the bad seed and made the life of his good son a living hell every since he arrived in the past.
"Oh if it wasn't for the fact that I need both of you worthless sacks of shit to conceive my brother I would kill you right here right now and save myself a lot of future aggravation. In any event I would love to stay here and chat, but Chris and I have some business that we need to take of. Ta ta" the man said before grabbing the younger boy and disappearing through the portal along side his accomplice.
"Can someone tell me what the hell just happened?" Paige spoke finding her voice before the others.
"I can't believe that was Wyatt. Did you see the way he was touching Chris?" Phoebe continued.
"This isn't right. Wyatt's evil and Chris is our son" Leo said while still in a daze.
"Piper when were you going to tell us about Chris" the youngest sister questioned the other.
"We don't have time for this" the woman said picking up the envelope that her son dropped on the floor before he left hoping that he may have left a clue in the letter.
"No Piper I want to know now! Why didn't you tell me that Chris was my son" Leo almost yelled.
"You know what Leo I don't have time to deal with your guilt right now. All that matters is finding a way to get Chris back" the woman said while frantically tearing open the envelope as her sisters and husband moved to stand at her side. Unfolding the paper and taking a deep breath, she read the letter out loud.
