Chapter 10: Re-reversing Morality
Previously:
The two Wyatts stared at each other for a moment, through the mirror 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 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."
"I liked us working together." he admitted, "But it doesn't really matter. I mean, when I go back you're still gonna be evil. It feels like all you've shown me is what we can't have."
"But we can have this." contradicted Wyatt, "To make all this real in your world all you have to do is join me; or, well, my opposite to be more precise."
"Hear these words, hear the rhyme,
Open this portal through space and time
Let my powers cross the line
Switch my essence through the air"
The portal opened casting a blueish light over the room. Chris stepped forward cautiously, and was about to enter the portal when a dark light swept out of the portal, leaving it closed behind the shadow. Chris gasped as the dark light engulfed him and he fell to his knees before keeling over unconscious.
"What have you done to Chris? He's evil isn't he? What did you do to him?" Leo demanded furiously.
"But you admit it though; it wasn't Chris's decision. It's a…a spell or…a potion…or something…" Leo trailed off his mind working furiously.
Wyatt laughed again, "Maybe so." he admitted, "But there's not a lot you can do about it; you're not a witch so you can't lift any spells."
A bright light shone out from the circle causing Leo to shield his eyes. When he looked again a figure was standing in the circle surrounded by more white lights, smiling slightly.
"Piper." Leo gasped, feeling tears run down his cheeks.
Behind Piper two swirls of bright light dissolved into Phoebe and Paige.
Paige wrote the last word of the spell with a flourish and slammed the pen down on the table. "Finished!" she sang out.
"Ok, well then, let's go."
The four figures linked hands and dematerialised in a cloud of orbs.
"You alright?"
Wyatt's question jerked Chris out of his memories and back to reality. He shook his head slightly to clear it. "I'm fine." Chris replied, "Just thinking."
"About what?" Wyatt wanted to know.
"About when we were little." answered Chris, "I was thinking how good it feels to truly be brothers with you again. And we're so much stronger now than we were then; now the Elders aren't restraining us anymore."
Wyatt smiled broadly. "This is how it's meant to be." he agreed. "Do you want something to eat? It's been a while since you've eaten."
Chris nodded, surprised at how long he had spent in his memories.
"Come on." Wyatt orbed out with Chris following. They reformed in the main living room of Wyatt's penthouse. Wyatt summoned a demon and ordered him to bring some food for them both.
Wyatt gestured for Chris to sit down at a table and Wyatt sat down opposite him. "So." Wyatt began when they were both settled down, "How would you like to move on to bigger and better thing today?"
"Such as?" asked Chris, a grin spreading across his face.
"Rebel witches." stated Wyatt, "More specifically, the hunting down and killing of rebel witches."
Somewhere inside of him Chris heard a lone voice scream at him not to do it but Chris frowned and blocked it out. "Sure." he replied easily, "When do I start."
Wyatt smiled and began to reply when he stopped, a frown forming on his face.
The sound of someone orbing brought both Wyatt and Chris to their feet. They moved out to a clear area in the middle of the room as the swirling white orbs materialised into four figures.
'Four?' thought Wyatt puzzled, 'Leo returning I would get, but four people?'
Chris gasped as the four figures became fully formed. His gaze had first fallen on Leo but before he could say something contemptuous to him he had seen the other three figures. The sight of Phoebe and Paige stopped him in his tracks but it was the sight of the fourth person that made his heart skip a beat.
"Mum?" he whispered.
Wyatt was standing there also too shocked to move for the moment. Wyatt shook his head viciously, shaking the momentary paralysis off, "What…?" he demanded
"Chris…Wyatt..." Piper smiled sadly, "I can still see the little boys you once were."
"You did this." Wyatt spat at Leo, "You summoned them back from the dead. Why?"
"Because as you pointed out only witches can cast spells and as I realised only the power of three can content with you or Chris." Leo replied.
There was still confusion on Chris's face but Wyatt's had cleared into understanding. "No." he almost whispered, then "No!" more loudly.
Wyatt threw out a hand to send his mother and aunts flying but Leo dived on him, holding him down. "Now." he yelled to the sisters.
Piper, Phoebe and Paige formed a circle round Chris who, unsure of what was going on, didn't move. He didn't want to hurt his mother or aunts. His eyes widening, Chris saw that they all had pieces of paper; they were going to cast a spell on him.
In defence Chris lashed out a hand at the nearest, Phoebe, and sent her crashing into the nearby sofa.
"Hey, mister, over here." yelled Paige, trying to distract Chris so Phoebe could get back up again.
Chris turned to face her then quickly dropped to the ground as Paige used her power to throw a chair at him. It missed and Chris heard it clatter against the floor behind him.
Pulling himself into a low crouch, Chris spun round, looking around him. Piper was just standing there, unwilling to hurt her son, Paige had moved back into her original position and Phoebe had pulled herself to her feet and was rejoining her sisters. Leo and Wyatt were still fighting on the floor, Leo stopping Wyatt from going to help Chris.
"Now!" yelled Piper, as Chris stood up again.
The three sisters began chanting.
"Hear these words we three witches cry,
Across to another world shall our voices fly,
Let Chris return to who he is,
Reverse his morality, return him his."
"No!" Wyatt yelled, throwing a distracted Leo off him and scrambling to his feet. Leo crashed into the table and lay there unmoving. At the same time Chris fell to his knees as black orbs were drawn out of his body.
The black orbs spiralled into the air and formed a triquetra. The portal to the parallel world was being opened.
White lights gradually replaced the black ones around the triquetra and became a stream of light heading towards Chris. The white lights surrounded Chris, shielding him from view for a moment before they entered his body, causing him to cry out and grab his head with his hands.
"Chris!" Piper called out concerned, wanting to rush to his side but she knew she had to wait until the spell had finished.
No-one in the room moved as Chris muttered "Ow." and pulled himself to his feet.
The portal was still open but was slowly closing. Wyatt focused on it, a plan beginning to form in his mind. He edged closer to Chris, trying not to attract anyone's attention.
Wyatt grinned to himself as he realised that he needn't have worried about that. Leo was still out cold and the sisters attentions were fixed solely on Chris.
"Are you ok?" Piper asked Chris worriedly.
Chris nodded, "I...I'm fine. But Mum…Aunt Paige, Aunt Phoebe…what are you doing here?"
Piper smiled at Chris but it was Paige who answered, "Saving you, that's what, and where's the 'thank you', the bunch of flowers perhaps?" she sniffed in mock anger.
Chris raised an eyebrow at her and she relented, "Ok, then, it's good to see you." Paige smiled. Phoebe nodded in agreement.
Wyatt glanced at the portal and noticed that it was almost closed. "Hate to cut this family reunion short." he told them catching hold of Chris's arm, "But I'm not about to give up now. So…"
Wyatt dragged Chris over to the portal. The sisters all stepped forward to stop him but Wyatt squinted his eyes sending the sisters flying backwards
"Chris!" called out Paige from the floor as Wyatt roughly pushed Chris in front of the portal. Chris stumbled and grabbed Wyatt's arm to stop himself from falling through.
"Wyatt, no, please." pleaded Piper.
Wyatt ignored them. Chris spun around and desperately aimed a punch at Wyatt but Wyatt ducked it and dove at Chris, their combined weight causing them to fall through the portal.
The portal began to get larger again as Chris and Wyatt vanished from view. The sisters got to their feet and Piper ran towards the portal.
"Piper, no! Its too dangerous." yelled Phoebe reaching out for Piper's arm to stop her.
"Look!" called out Paige, pointing toward the portal.
Two figures were falling through. It was Wyatt and Chris; but not the Wyatt and Chris from their world.
Good Wyatt and evil Chris crashed into the floor and rolled apart. Wyatt pulled himself to his feet and conjured a crossbow waving it in the vague direction of the sisters and Leo, who was still unconscious on the floor.
With the sisters too shocked to move Wyatt bent down and pulled Chris to his feet. Chris tried to pull away but Wyatt tightened his grip, his gaze locked on Piper.
Shaking his head slightly Wyatt black-orbed away with Chris, leaving a stunned silence in the room.
"No." whispered Piper, "How did I bring him up to be like that?" She walked over to the window and surveyed the world Wyatt had created. Tears filled her eyes as she felt the guilt wash over her. "I failed them both."
