The End of It All

Denial

Pain exploded as I crashed into the wall. Where the hell was Paige? I wasn't supposed to fight this demon by myself. I tried to get another shot on him, but he was too fast. The lounge room was a complete mess. The demon attacked over ten minutes ago and still no one had shown up.

"Paige! Leo! Wyatt! Chris! Damn it where the hell are you guys?" I yelled.

Ducking down I narrowly avoided being hit by a fire ball. Orbs appeared that materialised into the form of Wyatt. My son didn't look happy as he threw an energy ball, the demon was incinerated immediately.

"Where were you Wyatt? That demon could have killed me whilst you were off partying with your friends," I know I am being harsh but Wyatt has been neglecting his Wiccan duties. The look on his face makes me stop what I was going to say. I look up into Wyatt's face. It was red and puffy, like he had been crying, but Wyatt never cries. Right?

"Wyatt sweetie, what happened?" I was starting to panic. I didn't know what could bring him to this state.

He didn't respond to my words, instead my son reached out and grabbed my arm. Before I knew it we were a mass of sparkling, blue lights.

We materialised in a room filled with bright lights, it had a distinct odour. Ammonia. When my vision cleared I could see that this was a hospital room. Looking around, I searched for some reason as to why my son had brought us here. My eyes settled on the single bed in the room or rather the figure between the sheets.

My youngest son was so pale and thin. The bruises that covered his face broke my heart. Anger coursed through my veins, whichever demon did this was going to pay. I was going to hunt it down and make it suffer for what it has done to my son. My anger soon gave way to confusion. If Chris had been injured by a demon shouldn't Wyatt of just healed him? Before I could voice my concern, the opened and out strode a man attired in a white coat.

"Ah, Mrs Halliwell, I didn't see you come in," there was a slight confusion on his face he quickly pushed that aside and concentrated on business, "Once Chris, wakes up he will be able to go home; requiring the police allow it."

"Why wouldn't they want me to take my baby home?" I stuttered in my fear gripped state. Endless possibilities ran through my mind.

"Well I'm afraid that the police may not allow suicidal people to just walk out of the hospital without a psychiatric evaluation," He replied sympathy was evident on his face as he said this.

The word suicidal resonated through out my mind. My eyes drifted down to his wrists. White bandages were wrapped around his arms. Tears ran down my face, I slide to the floor. Hugging my knees I thought, no it can't be true, not my baby boy.
