CHAPTER VI:
Once in the Attic…
"How can you even think about summoning Wyatt?" Paige asked worried "We don't have enough problems with one of our future nephews dying to have the evil one running amok in 2004?"
"It's the only way! If Oprent tried to kill Chris because Wyatt killed his brother that means Wyatt KNOWS who Oprent is!" Piper defended her case.
"Yeay… but how are we going to get him to help us? He is the evil overlord, remember?" Phoebe bickered.
"But he is his brother! He still cares about Chris!" Piper said desperate and her sisters looked at her sympathetically.
"We don't know that, honey." Paige said pitying her.
"HE HAS TO KNOW SOMETHING! We'll summon him back inside a crystal cage, he won't be able to do any harm like that, and if he is not willing to cooperate, we send him back, no harm done!" Piper pleaded.
"A crystal cage won't keep someone as powerful as Wyatt trapped in for long, Piper." Leo told her.
"Well… we'll reinforce the crystal with some spell…MY SON IS DYING and nobody has a clue…do you have a better idea?" She screamed at them.
They all looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I thought so… Paige, go get the crystal…Phoebe prepare a spell to reinforce the cage…Leo help me with the spell to summon Wyatt and to send him back!"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Fifteen minutes later Wyatt appeared inside the enhanced crystal cage while the girls chanted.
Even if they didn't have time for grandiloquent reactions; Leo couldn't help a small smile seeing that his oldest had obviously inherited many of his features, and even if he knew his son was evil, he felt almost the same pride he felt now, every time Chris looked at him with his own eyes bequeathed into his son's face.
Piper opened her eyes in shock, he was so tall, her tiny baby was so big; and had a cold evil look in his face, yet…she couldn't help loving him; with all her heart, and she understood why Chris had to come to the past to save him; how evil and all, he still loved his brother; because even if she didn't know the grown up version of her son, even if all she knew about it was that it was evil; she couldn't help loving the young man in front of her.
Phoebe gasped, her nephew was so tall, and so good looking, she was thinking of all the women that probably chased both her nephews and all the love advices she was going to have to give to them. The thought made her smile.
Paige being more practical than Phoebe and not being the parent like the other two, forced herself to burry all the tender feelings she couldn't help having, after all, that person in front of her was her beloved Wyatt, the one she had been playing with a couple of hours earlier; but not the same one… they had a task at hand and they had to fulfill it.
"Hello Wyatt!" She was the first to speak.
"Who are you; what do you want? What sort of trick is this one?" Wyatt yelled angry and confused when he appeared in the cage.
"This is no trick, Wyatt… we summoned you here!" Phoebe answered.
"And who are YOU?" Wyatt asked fuming, he really didn't appreciate his captors impersonating his family.
"Come on, Wyatt… I can't believe we changed SO much in the next few years. You don't recognize us anymore?" Paige arched her eyebrow and used a hint of mockery on her tone.
"I know who you are PRETNEDING to be, DUMBASSES… what I am asking you, is who you really are? Or you are going to tell me that any minute now that door will open and Chris and the girls and going to come in all happy and giggly? Spare me the crap and tell me what you really want!"
"Well… no…that door is not going to open and nobody will come in Wyatt!" Paige said and Piper could swear a small cloud of disappointment crossed Wyatt's cold stare. "Because you are in 2004 and the girls, whoever they are, have not been born yet… and Chris…well… Chris hasn't been born either… but you know he came to the past; he is downstairs…"
"OH GOD… you expect me to believe my family summoned me all the way from the past… just for what? Let me guess… something like Chris told you I was the source of all evil and you had to see it with your own eyes? PLEASE." He said with an evil sarcasm.
"I see the sarcastic smart asses just run in your family, Piper!" Paige teased her.
"And…you are the one to talk!" Wyatt yelled at her angry, but for the first time it sounded like a nephew angry at his aunt and not like source of all evil battling his place in the world.
"See you know it's us!" Leo said calmly.
"I must admit you did a good job, yeah." Wyatt said coldly. "What do you want?" He said harshly.
"Wy… we did bring you back because of Chris… but not because we needed proof you were anything, but because someone stabbed him with a power blocking athame and he is dying, downstairs… that's why he won't be appearing through that door." Piper said sadly and softly.
The glasses on the windows of the attic exploded.
"I thought he couldn't use his powers trapped in the crystal cage!" Phoebe said ducking.
"Well… he IS very powerful… he can't use his powers outside the crystal cage… but I don't think that was a very controlled used of his power!" Leo shrugged.
Wyatt ignored them and pierced Piper with his look.
"Don't you dare use my brother's death as a tool of manipulation, cuz I swear I will torture so much that you will beg me to kill you countless times before you loose your mind so completely you won't even remember what death is, and then after that I will keep on torturing until there is nothing left to torture and just THEN I will kill you in the most painful possible way! I swear… and don't think that the fact that you look like my mother is going to help you… cuz quite on the contrary…I despise you even more for thinking that a scum like you could even think of impersonating someone as flawless and untainted as her!"
Piper looked at him not knowing whether to feel flattered or really scared, but at least that gave her the idea that Wyatt didn't despise his family after all. Her mother's instincts just told her how to handle Wyatt.
"I swear honey I do have flaws…and I am not untainted…" She said sweetly walking as close to the crystal cage as possible and stretching her hand as close as she could from Wyatt's cheek. "And I wish I was lying, cuz that would mean your baby brother wouldn't be dying downstairs…"
"NO! Don't say that!" He interrupted yelling so loudly that whatever Piper was saying was overcast by his screams… and probably that had been on purpose. "NO… YOU ARE LYING… Chris is fine… I KNOW…NO, NO NO, NO… stop your lies… cuz you all are going to regret it so much when I get out of here… so… better start thinking of the consequences… cuz there won't be a soul in the planet and in every fucking realm that is not going to hear your screams for mercy once I am done with you… CLEAR? NOBODY MESSES WITH MY FAMILY…!" He kept on ranting.
Piper patiently waited for him to finish.
"Are you done, Wyatt?" She said calmly.
"If you are going to still use my brother as leverage NO!"
"Wyatt… sweetie…"
"DON' T call me sweetie you impostor!" He yelled out of it.
"Wyatt…listen to me…I know how hard all this can be… but you NEED TO LISTEN TO US… every second counts… who is Oprent?" Leo walked near Piper.
"Are you with Oprent? This is what this is all about? His revenge?" Wyatt asked.
"No and yes…we are not with Oprent… but yeah this is all about his revenge…he is the one that stabbed Chris!" Phoebe said.
" See… there is were your little scheme fails… you said we are supposed to be in 2004 and Oprent is Paula's age, they went to school together, I never trusted a half witch, half demon to be near my cousins and then when that filthy brother of his…" Wyatt had been a massive demonstration of anger since he had arrived, but now the anger got personal… he was remembering something that had really pissed him of, the Attic floor trembled. "Well… it doesn't really matter…what matters is that neither Oprent or Railey were born in 2004… so he is technically impossible that he did anything to Chris!" Wyatt said stubbornly, knowing the flaws in his theory but he just didn't want to see them.
"Wyatt… please tell me you just don't want to get into your head that your brother is dying, because if I have to take that one of my nephews is not only the source of all evil, but it's also so dumb as not to realize that if Chris came all the way from the future, you came all the way from the future… Oprent could have come all the way from the future too…I am going to commit suicide! " Paige told him
"Well… maybe you could commit suicide…if you are telling me the truth, then if you commit suicide right now all are problems are GONE and Chris would be fine! You make no SENSE! And I am NOT going to believe you." He said with a cold rage.
Piper looked at him it looked liked he wanted to hurt someone with his words… but if he really thought Paige was a shape shifter, it was obvious that no matter what he said about his family, it wasn´t going to hurt her; on the other hand nobody understood what he meant; but underneath that cold exterior, Piper could see their words were getting to him, and he was hurt.
"This is MAGIC for god sale… besides the fact that he hasn't been born is the reason why we can't find a thing about him and we had to summon you for help…so are you going to help or you are going to let your brother DIE because of something you did? What do you mean if I commit suicide right now Chris would be fine?" Paige said really worried, was all this her fault somehow? Why would Wyatt say that?
"You don´t know? Your master didn´t tell you why I killed his brother?" Wyatt said defiantly.
"Wyatt… please, sweetie… it´s true… we are NOT with Oprent… we are looking for him to SAVE Chris… "An eye for an eye" were Oprent words to Chris while he stabbed him… we NEED your help! He is dying… He is really dying Wyatt…" Piper begged desperate, then she continued sweetly "I know you care… and he's been asking for you non-stop…he is even a little mad at us because he thinks we are not letting you inside the room because he is too weak." Piper snickered sadly. "He even pretends to be stronger so we'll let you come visit." She said with glassy eyes. "He is really dying, Wyatt… I am sorry."
"NO… you are lying… you are shape shifter and this is all a BIG LIE… so you better tell me what you really want before I run out of patience!" Wyatt said tremendously pissed, not wanting to believe them.
"No… we are not, Wyatt… you are in 2004 and Chris is downstairs DYING because a demon named Oprent tried to kill him because you killed his brother." Leo answered calmly.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO it won't work… I WON'T believe you! Chris is fine!" Wyatt evil, insane eyes flamed threateningly.
"Sense him, Wy… you will sense he is downstairs and badly hurt." Leo said softly.
"I CAN"T SENSE HIM… he blocked himself out of me… you know that and that's why you are trying to trick me!" he looked at them with hatred in his eyes… though the pain of the doubt was obvious, he did believed them, he just didn't want to believe what he knew was true.
"Then sense US Wyatt! If we are shape shifters or this is a spell…there is no way you could be sensing our presence in this room… you know that!" Paige said defiantly.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Wyatt yelled in a way the entire attic shook.
"Why not Wyatt?" Phoebe said softly. "Because you know it's true… because you know your brother is dying downstairs?"
"Let me see him!" Wy shouted walking straight into the crystal cage and of course bouncing back painfully; still, he didn't care he ran back to it again and again crying "Let me see him… he is my brother… let me see him!" after the tenth time he crushed into the cage, he gave up momentarily and looked at his mother heartbroken. "Mom, please… just let me see him… I promise I won't do anything!"
"I am sorry, Wyatt." Piper said gloomy avoiding her son's eyes.
"Please…" He said with a broken voice falling down on to his knees completely broken down.
Piper hided her face in Leo's chest and he embraced her, unable to look at his son either.
"Chris!" Wyatt let go an agonizing cry.
A bundle of orbs suddenly appeared in front of the crystal cage and Chris moaned a very weak "Wy…" before passing out.
"Chris!" Leo ran worried to his son ready to orb him back to bed.
"Don't you dare, dad!" Wyatt said angry, then his tone changed to a sweet, loving one as he stared at his fallen brother "He is as stubborn as mom! He will keep on orbing to me…and that might kill him." He manipulated them with what he knew would work.
Leo looked around for confirmation and they all nodded, they knew Wyatt was right.
"Ok…but I warn you…be nice to him… he's been asking for you since he was stabbed." Piper told her son.
Wyatt smiled sadly. "Lend me your shirt, dad!" He ordered.
"WHAT?" Leo asked confused
"Lend me your shirt…because god forbids it, but if something happens to Chris… I don't want his last memory of me to be dressed in black …I care enough about him to give him at least that."
"How do I know it's not just a trick to force me to open the crystal cage?" Leo said suspicious.
"Whatever!" Wyatt said annoyed taking his shirt off and threw it to the floor, then he kneeled down. "Chris?" He whispered caring at the figure laying in front of him.
"Wy?" Chris said weakly waking up.
"Yeah it's me, little brother…I heard you whining all through time and space, you annoying little brat." He teased lovingly.
Chris chuckled and choked into a coughing fit.
"Shh… calm down lil' bro… I am here now… everything is going to be ok." He whispered comfortingly stretching his hand as close to his brother as the crystal cage allowed him to.
Chris opened his eyes in search for his brother.
"Hey… sleepy head… I am here… to your right… yeah, how are you feeling?" He said softly with a sad smile.
Chris jade eyes met Wyatt crystal blue and his body seemed to relax a little as he offered his brother a weak smile. He raised his hand to touch his brother's.
"No!" Wyatt shouted protectively. "Don't touch me… I am in a crystal cage…and you are in no state to be touching a crystal cage right now."
"Why?" Chris barely managed to ask.
"It doesn't matter now… what matters is that you get alright now, k? Now dad will orb you to your bed and you will rest till we can make you all better, k lil'brother?"
"No… I don't want to go to bed… I don't want to wake up and realize this was all a dream and that you still hate me." He pouted heartbroken.
"I could never hate you, Chris… you are my brother… brothers forever, remember? You have my back and I have yours… always." Wyatt said with glassy eyes.
"I was trying to save you. I was not betraying you… I was trying to save you…" He explained fighting to keep his eyes open.
"I know bro… you were watching my back…it's ok… now rest!" Wyatt knew it wasn't the time to start discussing about their different opinions regarding Chris' little time traveling; there would be plenty of time when Chris was fine.
"I don't want you to go away..." His eyes were closing.
"I won't, I am right here, bro."
With an obvious effort Chris swung his had and one of the crystals flew away, Wyatt ran to his brother and rested Chris' head on his lap.
"I am here bro, now sleep." He said caressing his hair.
"I am glad you came, Wy." He whispered.
"I am here now, Chris… I won't leave you alone, just rest, bro…everything will be fine." He whispered, Chris closed his eyes. "Good boy!" Wyatt said orbing away with him.
"Where did they go?" Piper said freaked out.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
A/N: FYI Wyatt could still not feel any of Chris' pain, aside from the 20 years leap between one another, because Chris cast a permanent spell to block him out; While Leo could feel it because Chris was lifting a barrier to temporarily block him out, and the barrier required some constant effort from Chris to keep it up. He doesn't require any effort to block himself from Wyatt because he broke his connection with him, completely…still their connection is REALLY strong… probably even stronger than the one they have with their father, so even if he blocks him out with a spell, if he dies, Wyatt will feel it, even if they are 10000 miles away and 300 years apart.

"Is it mean that I laughed when Phoebe passed right through Chris in the memory." Nahhh I don't think so… its kind of funny if you think about it…I actually didn't mean it to be funny, but I am glad you liked it!
"I felt so sorry for Chris when he repeated the part about nobody caring for him, how heartbreaking for the sisters and leo to watch." Yeah… what can I say… I was mad at them for treating Chris so badly, so I wanted to torture them somehow.
"Again I have to say just how much I hate that demon." Yeah… you'll see actually his brother was killed unjustly, but still… he is sort of a sleaze bag… at least that's what Wyatt will say.
"You know even if he is sick that was still a very mean thing to say to Piper, poor thing. But then I felt sorry fo Chris too, I suppose I'm empathic to both character's causes." I am glad you can see and feel both sides : ) I always aim for that when I write… how the different characters have their different motivations…besides, he didn't know Piper knew she was his mother… all he remembered was Piper kicking him out and her being all nice was killing him!
Thanks… I hope you liked the first glance of Wy.
