Chapter 5: Seeing A Whole Other Side

Previously:

Wyatt reached up and pulled the cloth off revealing a mirror. His good self looked back at him, his expression of disgust mirrored on evil Wyatts face.

The two Wyatts stared at each other for a moment before evil Wyatt spoke. "I said I would get him on my side…"

"…one way or another…" finished good Wyatt.
"…and I will…"
"…even if this…"
"…is how I have to do it."

The only way that Wyatt could use the full power of the Halliwell line was for him and Chris to work together. 'That will never happen unless Wyatt is good' promised Chris.

Clearing his throat slightly to get Chris's full attention Leo continued, "About Wyatt, I think the only thing we can do is bind his powers."

The triquetra glowed blue and opened into a swirling portal. Wyatt walked confidently through the portal and faded from sight. "I'll see you soon little brother" promised Wyatt, "And you'll be evil, the way I always wanted you to be."

"How are you gonna show me…whatever it is you want to show me?"

Wyatt looked straight into Chris's eyes before replying, "By taking you back to my world."

"I'm not gonna hold you against your will." Wyatt assured Chris, "After I've shown you my world and you come back, you can go if you want."

Wyatt met Chris's eyes and tried to convey his honesty. 'And I'm not even lying.' he thought, 'he'll see that when the time comes.'

"Chris!" called out Leo as he entered the room to see Chris's white orbs swirling through the floor before disappearing from sight. For some reason a feeling of dread hit Leo; he was worried. 'Where did he go?' Leo asked himself, 'and why? He wouldn't just leave, would he?'

Leo came to the decision that he couldn't answer these questions by himself. He sent a mental message to one of the head Elders, "Zola, I need your help."

The triquetra glowed and opened into a swirling portal. Wyatt gestured silently to Chris to go before him. Chris stepped hesitantly through the portal with sideways glance at Wyatt. When his brother's figure had vanished from sight Wyatt smiled coldly and walked through after him.

Chris stood on top of the Golden Gate Bridge, surveying the world Wyatt had brought him to. The wind ruffled his hair as he took in the sights around him. Gone was the almost tangible fear that hovered ominously around the city in his world; in its place was the sound of happy, laughing people going about their day to day lives without living under the threat of demons.

He turned to Wyatt standing behind him. "Do they know about magic?" he asked.

"Yes; I exposed it." replied Wyatt, "But they don't fear it. They know that magic can be good; and that I'm using it for good purposes."

"No demons?" questioned Chris.

"Well, yes, there are demons." admitted Wyatt, "but no more than there used to be. They attack less now. It's the demons who are scared, they mainly hide underground."

Chris turned back to look over the city. "Everyone's so happy." he whispered unaware he had spoken aloud.

"Everyone's so scared." laughed Chris exultantly. He walked over to Wyatt, "Now, you are someone who I'm proud to call my brother." he announced. Chris waved a hand, gesturing vaguely to the city, "This is what I've been fighting for; the world back to how it should be - evil."

"I'm glad you like it." replied Wyatt, "but this is just a taster of what this world is like. I've so much more to show you."

Chris grinned, "Well let's get the show started then!" he proposed giddily.

"We can't sense him, Leo." apologized Zola. The other two other Elders with Zola shook their head as well.

"Damn!" exploded Leo viciously, "Wyatt's got him. How did he get him? And in the Overworld of all places? How are we supposed to protect witches down on earth if we can't even protect them up here?"

"Leo, calm down, please." directed Zola, "You said you sensed a darklighter?"

"Yes." nodded Leo, trying to breathe slowly, "I don't understand why though. How could a darklighter get up here? What does it mean?"

"We're not sure." replied Zola; ignoring Leo's muttered "Well there's a surprise."

"It shouldn't have been possible." agreed one of the other Elder's, shaking her head darkly.

"So there was no sign of a struggle?" inquired Zola frowning as a new thought struck him.

"No, none." replied Leo, "that's why I'm so puzzled. Chris wouldn't just have left with Wyatt and a darklighter without a fight."

"How about with a half-darklighter who is Wyatt?" asked a new voice. An Elder was striding towards them, Jayne, Leo recalled her name to be.

"What do you mean?" Leo demanded.

"We sensed a shift between this world and our parallel world a little while ago and again just a few minutes ago. We've been trying to figure out what it means and we believe a person from this world swapped places with his or her opposite then they swapped back but accompanied by another who swapped places with his opposite." Jayne replied.

Leo and Zola exchanged worried glances.

Jayne continued explaining, "We have followed the trail and since it lead us up here and after hearing about Chris disappearing, we believe that it was Wyatt who firstly swapped with his opposite and then returned, accompanied by Chris."

"What?" exclaimed Leo, then as the enormity of what he had just heard sank in, "Oh my god" he groaned.

"That must be why you could sense darklighter." realised Zola, "In the parallel world Wyatt would be half darklighter instead of half whitelighter. And Wyatt must be powerful enough to sneak up here without alerting us."

"So Chris, the Chris from our world, is in the parallel world?" asked Leo, "that must mean that the Chris from the parallel world is here, in this world."

"Yes, but wait," Zola reached out a hand to stop Leo orbing to find him, "the Chris from the parallel world will be evil. I do not think it would be a good idea to find him."

Leo nodded seeing the sense in Zola's words. 'Now I know how Chris felt when he mentioned feeling like sitting on the sidelines' Leo thought.

"You attended one of my meetings before." stated Wyatt, steering Chris down a lushly carpeted hallway, lined with demons standing guard.

Chris nodded, "But that was in my world with the good version of you" he pointed out.

"Precisely my point." agreed Wyatt, "So now you're gonna attend one of my meetings, in which we will have the same views and will be able to work together as we should; as brothers."

Chris smiled coldly. He was excited at the prospect of working with his brother toward the same goal.

Wyatt and Chris reached the tall, oak doors at the end of the hallway and two demon guards pushed the door open for them. A long table filled with demons and warlocks greeted them and they stood up in respect for Wyatt although Chris noticed he was getting a few cold looks.

"My brother will be joining us for this meeting." announced Wyatt simply, gesturing for Chris to take one of the two seat at the head of the table. Wyatt moved to the other and sat down, this signalling to the other around the table to sit down also. Except for one.

"Forgive me sire, but I would endeavour to bring to your attention what happened last time you brought your brother to one of these meetings." A warlock was still standing, looking distrustfully at Chris.

Wyatt stared coldly at the warlock until he got the message and sat down. "Any more objections?" inquired Wyatt, then without waiting for an answer carried on, "I will not explain to you exactly how, but for the present my brother is evil and will be treated with the respect deserved to a powerful witch who is helping to lead your side."

There were mumbled "Yes Sire."s around the table.

"Lets get started then." commanded Wyatt.
