Chapter 16
Chris sat staring at the shinning sharpened blade that rested in his right hand. He didn't understand why he felt so nervous all of a sudden. When he came up with the plan he was certain that he had what it took to pull off such a scheme but now that the time had come for him to follow through, he wasn't sure that his little "plan" was worth the risk.
What if Wyatt was still angry with him and ignored their connection to each other and didn't come to check on him? Or what if he put off checking on him for too long and he loses his life? Then again if he didn't follow through then not only would he be forced to continue on as his brother's sex slave, but his parents and aunts would be subject to his the dictator's sickness as well, not to mention his sister in law who was risking everything to help him. No, he couldn't let that happen. If he had to sacrifice his own life for theirs then so be it. There was no way he could let the people he loved most in the world down, not after everything they risked to save him.
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Chris positioned the blade over his left wrist, cutting deep into his veins and allowing the blood to flow freely.
"Piper! Leo!" Paige called out shocked by the sight in front of her.
"Oh my God" Phoebe said covering her eyes while Autumn looked uncomfortably in the other direction.
"What the hell are you guys doing in here!" yelled an annoyed piper as a golden glow came over her. Suddenly the woman looked around the room seemingly confused by her surroundings. "Umm, ok. What just happened?"
"I think we were under a spell" Leo said as the golden glow left him. "You're lucky you guys didn't walk in a few seconds ago"
"Gross! Ok I really don't care what was going on or why, just put some damn clothes on!" Autumn called out trying not to laugh or become totally disgusted.
"Who are you?" Piper said eyeing the stranger in front of her.
"This is Autumn, Wyatt's wife" the middle sister said putting her arm around the girl who smiled back shyly.
"And Daryl's daughter" added Paige.
"Oh, I see. Hi" Piper said eyeing the woman's attire. Seeing this caused the girl to immediately explain the revealing clothes away.
"It's my cover I swear. I don't usually dress like this and I would love to explain this further and tell you how great you are and how much I love your son no matter what and yada, yada, yada" she said instantly bringing a smile to the woman's face. "But you two have to get dressed before Wyatt finds out that I went against him" she spoke in a lower voice making her fear more evident.
"Oh, he wouldn't hurt you would he?" questioned Piper as sat under the covers putting her pants on.
At the girls silence and telling expression, she continued. "It's ok, we're almost done so he doesn't have to find out"
"He will. No matter how this turns out he'll know that I've betrayed him, but that doesn't matter right now. Getting you guys out of here is what's important" a torn Autumn finished.
"Thanks but I think we can handle it from here. You need to get out of here before Wyatt finds you" Piper said out of concern for her best friend's child and soon to be daughter in law.
"No, I can't. I have to stay with you guys until you can return to the past. Without me Wyatt's henchmen will kill you"
"What about Chris?" the man asked sadly. "We can't leave him here"
"And we won't. In fact he's distracting Wyatt right now"
"How is he doing that?" Paige worriedly spoke.
"You don't want to know" replied Mrs. Wyatt Halliwell as she suddenly took interest in the floor below her.
"He's not. Oh God please don't tell me he's…" Leo trailed off as his eyes grew wide hoping that his son hadn't willingly done the unthinkable with his brother just to save them.
Seeing the look on the face of the boy's father broke the girl's heart. He must know about the rape, she thought to herself as her eyes met his. Although Chris didn't want her to tell them what he had to do in case his plan didn't work, she couldn't allow the boy's family to think that he was having sex with his brother on his own accord.
"No, it's not that but I can't tell you exactly what it is that he's doing. I know that's not going to help ease your fear or pain but that's all I can tell you for now and if that's not good enough then just have faith that Chris knows what he's doing" the woman finished with a slight smile to put the groups mind at ease.
"Right. Umm, ok, so what do we do now" she said as she stood up and grabbed her jacket.
"Well I have to pretend that I'm taking you to be tortured and once we're out of the guards sight you have to go get Chris and head back to the museum where the book of shadows is so you can use the spell in there to go back to your time. Now act natural and don't think or do anything that will set them off. The slightest mistake can cost us our lives" the girl said walking to the door.
"Are you guys ready?"
"Wait" the oldest witch spoke.
"What is it?" replied an anxious Autumn.
"You said to send us back to the future"
"Yeah"
"Aren't you coming with us? I mean you're not seriously going to stay here with Wyatt, at least not until we find whatever it was that turned him into this, lunatic" Piper said separating her sweet little boy from the monster that had did the unspeakable to his brother. The girl in front of her seemed to be very brave, smart and beautiful, all the things a mother would want for her son. She couldn't leave her there. Not after everything she was risking to save them.
"We don't have time to discuss this right now" the woman said trying to change the subject.
"Yes we do young lady. We are not going to leave you with that…that…psychopath"
"HE'S MY HUSBAND!" the woman shouted back causing the room to go silent. Realizing how she must have sounded she tried to make up for it. "Listen I know you mean well and I'm grateful that you care about what happens to me but if Wyatt loses both me and Chris, he…he would go crazy. I know that sounds kind of weird seeing as how everybody thinks he's this awful person but he wasn't always like this. He doesn't mean to be that way. He just can't help it" she sadly spoke.
"You really love him, don't you?" asked Phoebe who could feel the girl's pain.
"Yeah, I do. More then anything in this world" she simply replied.
"Ok then. We'll discuss this later" Piper said wanting to end the conversation but still not giving up on the subject entirely.
"Alright, let's go get Chris" the woman said as she turned the knob and opened the door.
"Chris!" Wyatt called out as he formed in the bedroom of his younger sibling. "I don't have time for this" the man yelled more out of scared then being angry.
Something was horribly wrong. He could barely sense his brother and with the strong bond between the two it could only mean one thing, Chris was hurt and hurt badly. But how could this be? He was alone in his room and none of his followers would ever dare touch his most prized possession.
"This isn't funny Christopher. Where the hell are you? Have you not learned your lesson?" Wyatt's voice echoed throughout the large room as he made his way towards the bathroom.
When the man opened the door he gasped in horror at the sight before him. There on the floor laying in a pool of blood with a razor in his hand was his baby brother.
"NO!" the man yelled running to his brother's side slipping in the massive amount of blood on the way.
"Don't you dare leave me Christopher!" the man yelled as he held his blood washed hands over his siblings limp form allowing the golden light to illuminate from them.
"Please don't" the man whispered as his vision became blurred and tears feel from his eyes as the boy continued to lay motionless and devoid of life.
Taking in the sight in front of him and studying the form Wyatt sobs became harder and a lump formed in his throat as he realized…
