CHAPTER VI: "Wake me up inside (Bring me back to life)"
Cole felt himself being sucked away from the ghostly plane, where he had been stuck since he was vanquish the last time, so many years ago (A/N: This is based on what was said in the episode Carpe Demon). He had been vanished there without the ability to be heard or seen, but being able to hear, see, everything. Doomed to be always one step away from what he yearned, knowing it was unreachable.
He was banished from any ability to feel, but apparently they made a mistake, or maybe it had been on purpose, so his agony was worst. All this years watching, only gave him space to forgive, love and crave to touch the love of his life; and beautiful little Prue.
Watching Phoebe and little Prue grow up hadn't seem like the most horrible punish in the world, but still… being so close to what you love, yet having it so far away from your reach…it was bitter-sweet torturing woe.
Once he had asked a demon friend, Zane, to restore Phoebe's trust in love, he had watched while they flirt with each other, and even if it hurt, he knew it was for the best. If that wasn't selfless love, what was it?
The best moment in his life had been eleven years ago he did someone a favor, a big one! One of those you regret for the rest of your life, but then… he was dead; and what he got had been worth ANY price. His reward? He was alive for just two months; occupying someone else's body, but being able to touch, to speak… and to enter into Phoebe's life as a new person. He had run to Phoebe, he had two month to be with her, and he wasn't going to blow it. He hid who he was, she didn't recognize him in his new body. For two months they were inseparable, it wasn't hard to get Phoebe to fall for him, after all, he knew they were meant for each other. Then just some minutes after his two months were over, he made the body he inhabited die in a car accident (the body would have disappeared anyways when his spirit left it, but he didn't want Phoebe to think he left her, he rather have her know he loved her till his last breath… and even after that.)
And then he was back in the ghostly plane to watch the love of his life. Only there was another surprise waiting for him. Phoebe was pregnant, with his child, a child born out of love! He didn't know whether to be ecstatic or sad that Phoebe had to face that by herself. Eventually Phoebe found out that Prue was the daughter of a demon, because of her powers, but she still believed Prue's father loved her, and it was true, he did, with all his heart.
But after a spinning twirl, the ghostly plane disappeared and he found himself in the underworld, facing a tall, blonde man in his mid twenties and a lean dark hair teenager. Beside him there was a demon with spiky brownish golden hair and a long coat covering his lean figure, he felt drained as he lost consciousness..
"They'll be out for an hour or so… I'll be back soon." Cole could hear someone around him talking but couldn't really focus on the voice or open his eyes.
"You are going to leave me alone with them?" A teenage boy cried in fear.
"I told you they will unconscious for another hour and they won't be able to leave the crystal cage even if they wake up… you just watch them…I'll be back soon!" The first voice commanded as it faded away.
Cole decided to stop fighting against unconsciousness and let himself be embrace by the soothing darkness.

Manor.- Attic/ Chris' Bedroom
C.J and Paige orbed into the attic, the girls and Jake would stay until the end of the school day under the promise that they would call and update them on Wyatt status frequently.
"Where is he? How is he?" C.J asked worried before he even finished orbing in.
"Shh... sweetie he is sleeping." Piper said, but it was too late, Wyatt had already woken up.
"Topher?" He said sleepily.
"Hey, bro; what happened? It´s nice to see you are finally sleeping, I am sorry I woke you up." He said kneeling beside him.
"It´s ok… what are little brothers for, if it isn´t to bug you, right?" He said shuffling his hair.
"So are you ok, bro?" C.J said worried.
"Chill out... nothing happened...I swear...I just lost my powers for no apparent reason."
"OK... and you call that nothing in which sort of parallel universe?" C.J said freaking out.
"Bud... why don´t you let your brother sleep and I´ll explain you everything, k?" Leo said holding C.J´s shoulders. C.J looked at Wyatt, he had been aware that he needed some sleep for a month already, so he smiled at his brother and nodded at his father as he stood up.
When Leo saw the look of fear in Wy´s face when they were walking away he calmly and reassuringly said "We are going to the couch, right there... both of us... nobody is leaving the attic, ok?"
Wyatt nodded, closing his eyes and falling asleep again.
&&&&&&&&&&
Underworld.- Wyatt's and Emma's Chambers
As predicted by Wyatt by the fifth hour after he had drunk the antidote, Chris' condition started to worsen. Emma was literally freaking out, she couldn´t understand how Wyatt could had done that to his own brother, who she was absolutely positive that he loved so much.
Even if Wyatt assured her that the first six hours were the worst, and that after that he would only start feeling really bad after the fourth or fifth hour after taking the antidote. That didn't seem to calm her down (and one wonders why!).
Wyatt flamed in with the antidote and gave Emma 4 vials, just in case; He walked to Chris with the fifth vial in his hand.
"Chris, bro... wake up!" He said gentle, Chris moaned. "Come on kiddo... I need you to drink this for me... its going to make you feel better."
"Let me sleep... I don't want to get up, Wy!" Chris mumbled.
Wyatt sat down on the bed, and forced him to sit up, keeping his arm on Chris´back to keep him erect.
"Open up!" He said touching his lips with the vial, but Chris just rested his head on Wy´s shoulder.
"I am tired, Wy!" He moaned.
"I know you are tired, little brother." He said ever so tenderly "This will make you feel a hell of a lot better... come on, be a good boy Chris and drink this for me, ok?" He pleaded.
Chris parted his lips and Wyatt poured the content of the vial in his mouth. While Emma looked at the scene and wonder how Wyatt could be so caring and loving, and cruel at the same time. He looked so worried and attentive it seemed as if at some point he had forgotten he was the one that put him in that situation.
Chris coughed a few times, but he did seem to get better pretty fast. He open his eyes, still a little feverish, but a lot better than before. He sat down without needing Wyatt to hold him and seemed attentive and responsive.
"How are you feeling?" Wyatt asked concerned trying to check his fever.
Chris pushed his hand out. "You don´t know? I mean you are the one that prepared whatever is that you threw at me, right?" He asked angry, trying to stand up.
"Rest Chris."He said pushing him back down "It'll take a while till you get use to the side effects of the potion."
"Isn't that thrilling?" Chris smirked sarcastically.
"Hey Chris, can I get you something?" Emma asked gently and caring.
"Emma? What are you doing here? And… looking like you were twenty five?"
"She came from the future with me... you don't think I would let her there right?" Wyatt explained and Emma shrugged "She is not "evil", as you call me, if that's what you think... but you two will have plenty of time to catch up... right now, it's our turn." Wyatt continued and Emma brought Chris some orange juice. "So... I saw everything you did… bro you DIED for me! I don't know if I should feel flattered or angry! Chris, don´t you ever endanger your life like that, ok?"
Chris looked at him not knowing what to answer. "Gideon wanted to get to you!" He shrugged.
"And it means the world to me, that you were trying to protect me... but YOUR life... means a hella of a lot more than the world to me!" Wyatt smiled and patted Chris´ leg.
Chris decided to obviate the fact that Wyatt had poisoned him "I died saving you, and I´d do it again in a heart beat... because this is NOT YOU...Let me go Wyatt... please... let me help you!"
"Sorry bro... can't do...you'd die in 12 hours without the antidote!"
"Then... I'll have 12 hours to save you... and if you don't want me to die...you can always GIVE me the real antidote, WY!" Chris leaned on the bed frame and closed his eyes, he had a dreadful headache, he felt drowsy and weak. Is this how his life was going to be from now on?
"Just rest, bro. Emma will show your room, I have to go now!"
"where are you going?" Chris asked worried.
"To find Excalibur... once we have it…the world will be ours!"
"I DON´T WANT THE WORLD WYATT!" He screamed but Wyatt had already flamed out of there "I want my brother back" He whispered sadly.
Emma walked to him "We´ll get back him Chris, don´t worry!" She said gently.
"What happened Emma?" he asked drained and sadly "How did he turn back?"
Emma told him the whole story Wyatt had told her, and leaded him to his room.
&&&&&&&&&
Underworld-
"Well… well… well… nice to see you are up!" Wyatt said as soon as Cole and Zankou had regain consciousness. "I hope you guys are happy that I brought you back; and I expect you to be even happier when I tell you WHY I brought you back… I need you to get to the charmed ones… If you do what I ask…you can have anything you want… once I rule the world." Wyatt said imperatively, in a way only an evil lord could sound.
Cole looked around him and he was about to speak, when the other demon that had been revived beside him beat him to it.
"What are you?" Zankou asked, trying not to feel threaten by the man in front of him; thought he could tell he was very powerful, and something inside him told him, he was not someone you wouldn't want to mess with. "Why you are after the charmed ones?"
"What I want with the charmed ones it's for me to know, and for you, to do what I say… What am I? I am a "who" to start with! And I'm their worst nightmare." He thought for a second "A recurrent one."
"And how are we supposed to call you… nighty?" Cole asked cockily. He decided to play along, he knew that if he went against whoever this people were, he was going to be killed instantly; but if he waited, and hear their plan, then he would be able to run to the charmed ones and help them, and maybe even regain Phoebe's love and get to see his baby girl.
Wyatt glared at him.
"Feisty… I can see why Phoebe liked you so much and to think you could have been my uncle… I think we would have liked each other!"
"Uh?" Cole asked confused, Zankou had the same expression.
"Never mind, you can call me Wyatt!"
"And what do you want from us, Wyatt?" Zankou asked.
"I want you to scare the charmed ones… to frighten them to death, I want you to force them to be desperate to obtain more power… I don't care how… they have to realize it's all about power."
"Well… we can kill one of them, or one of their offspring and they will insanely go after the killer and if the killer is powerful enough that they can't vanquish him… they will want revenge, and they will want more powers to vanquish it ." Zankou offered his plan.
"I like your plan… really like it, though we are not killing any of the Halliwell …maybe someone that is very close to them…someone that they will feel guilty, really guilty and devastated if he or she is killed." Wyatt said thinking, pacing.
"What about that cop friend of theirs or his wife?" Eric asked.
"Good idea, though it's probably better if we kill one of his kids, it will make them feel even guiltier if an innocent kid is murder… We'll kill D.J! It's a pity… I liked the kid… but well, there must be some losses to win the war!" Wyatt stated "So that's the plan… We'll have to kill D.J in a way that's obvious that he had been murder in a magical way… and then… they'll come after us, but once they realize they are not powerful enough to vanquish us… we'll make them realize it's all about power!"
"And then we will kill the charmed ones!" Eric said excited.

"Hola! Depués de un totally evil spyware attack I'm back!" ya me preguntaba que te habia pasado… espero este sana y salva y fuera de peligro la compu.!
Pero me encantó esta update!" Merci!
" Y Wy...ah! tan cute, consolando a Chris! Me encanta como lo quiere y como Chris le dijo que lo perdonó." Hehehe te encanta como lo quiere? Te admito que es cute… pero de ahí a que te encante…asi es como terminamos con esas relaciones de mierda con hombres que solo nos lastiman, no? Porque yo te entiendo… es el aim the mi story que digan AHHH que divino Wy… como es con Chris y con Emma… pero en realidad, el enveneno a uno y los tiene a los dos prisioneros en un cuarto…! Pero las muejres somos asi, o no? No todo mal… obvia eso, porque Wy te esta produciendo el efecto esperado y yo te lo estoy arruinando con concepciones racionales!
"Poor present Wy...es tan inseguro, fue muy tierno preguntando si lo querían sin poderes...y guardándose todo lo de las pesadillas tanto tiempo. Pobre! " Si ese si que es cute… muy cute…in every sense…
"No, si lo mío con Emma no es envidia, decile...que Wy venga un rato y yo le explico a él...:)" Ok… yo le digo… Heheheh me encanto esta respuesta! Pobrecita Emma she won't know what hit her!
"Ah, y Eric es fantástico con su impaciencia por conquistar el mundo, me encantan sus diálogos con insane Wy." Hehe son pinky y cerebro!
"pero los dos Wy en cueros estaría bastante bien." El otro dia note que por algun motivo en particular que desconozco (y juro que si) Wy siempre termina en cueros en mis fics… debe ser mi subconsciente!
kitty
Thanks! I am glad you liked it!
"But what's wrong with C.J? " Nothing really, he just felt that there was something wrong with Chris.
"And who's Phoebe's husband?" I hope after this chappie the answer to that is clearer. I did mention it once in the prequel to this fic, but never told much about Prue's father…but the point is that Phoebe never really married because after Cole and Prue's father (that are actually the same person) she could never bring herself to love that way anymore.
Chris-Halliwell
" Anyway, I'm ur fav question asker? Yay!" of course!
"The Harry Potter Book is out and i've almost finished it! YAY!" ohh I envy you… I don't have it yet… is it good? What happens? See now is my turn to ask questions.
"I want Chris to get a new power coz' it'd b cool and he's kinda weak if he gets compared 2 Wyatt and i really really really want him to get another power please?" yeah blame that on the writers of charmed, not on me… but still… I can't make Chris actually more powerful than Wyatt cuz it wouldn't suit the story…but Wy has all the powers in the book more or less… so… it will take a lot for CJ to catch up.
" And if a demon comes when he prepared and the demon throws a fire ball/energy ball/other type of ball it could go through him." If he is invisible? No… it would hit him, but they won't see him…besides it would be boring if he gets the same power Emma has… unless accidentally he steals Emma's power or something like that… what do you think of that? Or actually what I like is when they keep Chris' powers but they over develop them to do something really great… I don't know… to TK speed molecules so fast that you can actually walk through the wall or stuff like that…that would need some physics research cuz I don't remember much about the properties of the molecules.
Cassi
"The chapter's name is really funny, the Halliwell said all the time and most of the it's a lie." Heheh I am glad you liked it
Well here you have Chris, Cole and a lot of people waking up!
C.J, you'll soon see it…
" You know, Wyatt without powers, CJ sick and Chris missing at the same time is gonna kill Piper and Leo..." Pretty much, add Cole, Zankou and Evil Wyatt running amok the city and theya re not going to be pleased.
tigger817
THANKS! " if you didn't get it, you had me in tears by chapter 7 of chris' diary." No I didn't get it… I am too mean cuz I am happy about your tears? I am glad you liked both of my fic… and I hope you keep on liking it!
"i was just wondering with this - have you realised that you've created the power of three times three? (piper-pheobe-paige, patty-penny-prue, and wyatt-chris-chris)?" you know… I haven't, but I was so like AHHHH COOOLLLLL when you told me! That is certainly something…
"I'm thinking that would pack a major punch against evil wyatt!" Yeah… the thing is that imagine if you were them… would you be vanquishing future Wyatt knowing he was under a spell, and you are actually killing Wyatt? It's not going to be as easy as to vanquish him!
Wwolf
"¿Que le dijo el professor a Cj?" ? Lo que le dijo en el capitulo 2 or so creo que es!
"Un gran capitulo," Gracias
"La escena Wyatt/Chris y chris pediendo que no le deje y despues perdonandole casi me hace llorar.Preciosa." : ) They are sort of cute… in a really twisted, weird way.
"Volveran a Cole malo, yo creo que aqui Wyatt se equivocará y Cole cambiara de bando." Hehehe muy bien… que chica inteligente… exactamente… Cole va a traicionarlo!
"Zankou, adoro este demonio( siempre me gustan los personajes que estan en la linia del bien y el mal) pero si tuviera que elegir un malo me quedaría con Zankou, inteligente y aprende de sus errores . Uno de los mejores demonios que han pasado." Toda la razon del mundo
Espero te haya gustado este chappie tb.
phoebe turner
THANKS "I love those three women… but they could turn any guy insane"- this part was super funny!" Hehehehe I am glad you liked it… I hope you like this too,.
teal-lover
" that I had to be bad and read it at work." Such a bad girl… yeah I been very creative lately you could say!
" but I'm too paranoid that they may have software to track my keystrokes. I guess I'm just as crazy as wyatt huh:)" heheheh yeah…I never heard of those sort of softwares, but anything could happen! Yeap… but Crazy Wyatt would be proud of you!
I am glad the Wyatts make you laugh… I would say Wyatt character is sort of funny, the good and evil version… he is like too impulsive and emotional… and the evil one its just plain insane, and that is always a little fun!
"But he's bringing back balthazar? awesome. this should be fun." I hope it will be and you will like it
"and what's wrong with cj? is he sensing Chris's pain?" yeap…you are SOOO smart! You are the only one that realized it.
Beleninwe
"Hey! I'm late as always, " don't worry… majer tarde que nunca.
I am so glad you liked Chris' Diary…yeah I think we all like torturing Chris a little… and I am glad you like the way I portrait Wy's insanity… maybe it has sth to do with that I am insane too :P! hehehe… no… I guess I really like to get into my character's head… so I am glad you like it too! Here you have some more insane Wyatt!
Victorious Light
"To comment on our episode discussion, I suppose they figured that Wyatt had been saved and so there was no need to check it out," But how they figured that out? I would so totally check if it had been my kids… screw the rules and personal gain!
"Good that we can explore in our fanfics though!" Of course!
"Yeah I like seeing Wyatt react, and it's good that you built up his feelings from his dreams as well. I can't wait until the two Wyatt's meet up!" Dun, Dun…I don't know how that is going to be… but it has been a popular question.
" And Chris sort of felt what was happening to the other him. Interesting..." You are sooo smart! Yeah Chris felt when he was being poisoned!
"To top it all off more twisted Wyatt! Yes he is so good!" hehehe I am glad you like it! I love him… I have to say I do… even when he is so obviously evil and crazy!
JadeAlmasy
"aw i can relate to Wyatt not the powers! poor guy" You can? I hope that is a good thing… yeah… I don't know… I like to show that things are never all good or all bad… I mean, that being the all powerful double blessed is not the easiest task in the world, even if Chris and CJ envy him a little, he envy them too.
Sparkling Cherries
"aw you used Topher, as a name between brothers! too cute." Told you I was going to do that! That and spread the CHrisism… you have to have patience with me…cuz I usually take like 3 chapters to prepare to the one scene I want to have… I am always thinking 3 chapters ahead…or more…In For Chris' sake I had chapter 39 written when I was in Chappie 13 or so… you it takes me a while to get where I am going.
"He just seemed so vulnerable and child like. Bless him!" He is kind of cute, isn't he? Even his evil version. You know me… I like to show that things are never all good or all bad… I mean, that being the all powerful double blessed is not the easiest task in the world, even if Chris and CJ envy him a little, he envy them too.
"oh, Balthazor and Zankou are comming back! love those demons." Good…this is going to get twisted, trust me
" If it's not too much trouble, could you squeeze barbus in there? if it's not possible at all then, no matter, coz the line up od demons you already have is fantastic." I wanted to bring barbus… it was my first choice… the thing is that if I get barbus with his powers… its not going to work, cuz he is going to attack Evil Wyatt right away and he is going to loose the little sanity he has…I would love to, but I think its going to be really hard to follow what I want to happen in the plot with Barbus around. I might think of something that might make me change my mind, but right now, I think bringing the demon of fear to this already insane and fearful family, with so many secrets and fears would just drive everybody over the edge…you know what I mean?
" lol, line up, it sounds like a concert or something! can you imagine Balthazor and Zankou breaking out into a song and dance routine! too funny." Heheh yeah dancing something like the back street boys or sth of the sort.. I am cracking here… trust me.
"fan-dabby-tastic (don't ask) "That's unfair… you can't make me all curious and then tell me not to ask.
