CHAPTER XI: An attack of the clone?

Manor-Attic.

""I told you… you are leaving me no other choice! Now remember, I didn't want to do this… I tried to reason with you… you brought it on yourself!" I tell him sadly, releasing my grip and throwing the energy ball at Chris.

Chris fells to the floor screaming in pain. And then I wake up." Wyatt sobbed. "I don't want to be that person, mom." Wyatt held his mom close to him.

"Everything is going to be fine, sweetheart." Piper tried to reassure him.

"It would make sense Piper, that somehow there are two of him … or maybe someone conjured the other life time Wyatt." Cole told her.

"My son it's not responsible for this!" Piper left Wyatt and walked to Cole, like momma Lion protecting her whelps.

"I am not saying he is, Piper…I am saying some other version of himself is. Who knows…he is so powerful… maybe it's a projection of his nightmares… like when he was a kid and projected a demon because he was scared Leo will abandon him."

"THIS.IS.NOT.MY.KID's.FAULT!" She yelled exasperated, and behind her, Wyatt, who was being held by Paige and C.J jumped startled.

"I know you won't believe me, Piper; but I like Wyatt… I do… I don't want this to be true anymore than you do… but denial it's not going to help anyone." Cole said softly.

"THIS.IS.NOT.WYATT's.FAULT! And I am going to ask you to leave my house NOW! And I mean NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW before I blow you up, back to whatever hell you came from" Piper shouted.

Wyatt sobbed; Phoebe ran to Cole.

"Just call me if you need me, ok? I'll be near." Cole said wrapping Phoebe in his arms and kissing her forehead. "I love you." He whispered as he faded away.

Wyatt stood up, slowly and sobbing.

"Wy…where are you going?" Piper asked concerned, running beside him.

"I think I am going to go to bed, in my room." He said softly.

"Are you sure?" Piper asked concerned, caressing his cheek.

He nodded. "Yeah mom… I mean… I won't have my nightmares again… they already came true!" He said gloomy.

"I am sorry, baby." Piper said sympathetically. "Still… it doesn't mean anything he said it's true."

Wyatt nodded sadly, like acknowledging her sympathy, but not finding it too consoling. "Topher would you come with me for a sec.?"

"Can't it just wait till after you sleep?" Piper asked preoccupied for her son's health.

"Just five minutes, Mom." Wyatt asked softly.

"Ok…but you make sure your brother sleeps… ok?" Piper told her youngest.

Both teenagers rolled there eyes at their mother.

"I am being serious!" Piper said firmly.

"I know, mom… I'll take care of him… you know I will!" C.J said kissing her cheek.

Piper sighed. "Yeah… I know that… is you taking care of you that you have to learn… and then teach your neurotic older self!"

But C.J, intuitively knowing what she was going to say orbed out before she was done.

"Ok… just call me if you need anything, ok?" Piper told her oldest worried as she watched him slithering himself to his room.

He nodded devastated.

Piper glared at Phoebe… walking with a murdered look towards her.

"He is telling the truth, and he really loves me… I can feel it… I can read that from him!" Phoebe pleaded defensively.

"Honey… I hate being the one that says this, but if however is behind all this knows your powers, and they are not a big secret… he could be tricking you." Paige said sadly.

"Why would he do something like that?" Phoebe asked even sadder, she wanted so hard to believe in Cole.

"To get to you, to get you to trust him and then be able to do whatever he wants you to do…it wouldn't be the first time that you changed sides because of Cole, sweetie." Piper spoke, really not wanting to say the words she knew she had to say.

"I couldn't help being so happy when I saw him… am I awful because of that? I really want to believe him… I know it's wrong…but I really want to!" Phoebe said devastated.

Paige hugged her. "It's not wrong, honey; please don't think that! We want to believe in him too, we want you to be happy more than anything in the world. It's just too risky, and if you open up to him and then it's all a set up, it's going to hurt you even more… you have to be careful."

"You understand we are not doing this to hurt you, right? We are doing it to protect you!" Piper added caringly.

"I know… but when he looks at me in the eye, I forget about everything, I feel like a teenage girl with all those feeling boiling inside of me that I can barely control!" She looked at them guilty.

"Of course you do honey, I still feel like that every time Jake takes me in his arms…it's normal and good… we just want to make sure nobody takes advantage of that!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Underworld- Wyatt's lair.

"Whatever Chris… I am not going to have this stupid fight with you, just cuz you are angry at him! I came here to see if I could help you with your plans of getting out… but just call me whenever you are in the mood for something else than fighting." Emma said sternly, walking away.

"No, Emma wait! I am sorry!" Chris said running after her. "I am just edgy here… I am sorry!" He said.

"Yeah… you are not the type of guy to have somewhere trapped and sick… I could figure that out after the second time I met you!" She smiled sweetly.

Chris smiled back. "Yeah… still that's no excuse for treating my sister in law like that, I am sorry!" He said apologetically and sweetly.

"Yeah… about that… don't you ever question my marriage, Chris! You didn't choose being his brother…but you chose to love him, I married him, I promised to love him in good and bad…I won't give up on him, Chris! You never gave up on him, why are you asking me to do that?" She said sadly and angry.

"I am sorry, Emmy…I was angry…" He said meekly, looking at the floor.

"Yeah… but you could have say anything else, why that?"

"Cuz I am scared of what he might do to you…" He said and Emma looked at him freaked and angry "No… not like that… I am not scared he might hurt you. I am scared he might turn you."

"NEVER!" She said shocked.

"You love him too much, Emma… even if we find a way out, I don't think you want to escape. I think you rather stay here, sheltered and oblivious of whatever he is doing." He said.

"Yeah… of course I want to do that… as much as you do Chris…Don't play the tough guy with me… I've known you for years…you are transferring your feelings to me. I do feel that, but not any more than you do… and that doesn't mean, I won't help you get out of here!" Emma said offended.

"Ouch… I forgot you were going to study psychology." He smiled, offering her a truce.

"Well… then…let's start thinking about Wyatt's flaws… what might he had overlooked?" She said with another smile.

"I don't know… but if anyone can make an extensive list of Wyatt's flaws those are his brother and wife." Chris chuckled. "Especially his wife, right?" He teased shuffling her hair.

Emma laughed. "Chris stop it!" she said amused.

Still Chris knew that even if Emma was right about him transferring his feelings to her. He knew if the time came when Emma had to leave or really come up with a plan, it was going to be very hard for her. She'll do it, but she was going to be heartbroken.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Manor- Wyatt's bedroom.

Wyatt was sitting on his bed, looking sleepy.

"So… wassup?" C.J said pacing in front of his brother.

"I believe him… and I need to know more… and I want you to help me!" Wyatt said calmly.

"I realized you believed Cole… but you want to know more? What else do you want to torture yourself with? You didn't have enough?" C.J asked exasperated.

"I might be evil and Chris is missing… don't you care?"

"Chris is missing, we'll handle it… there is someone evil roaming out there… we'll handle it too…You will lay down and relax!" He said Tk shoveling him down.

"I can't… it's all my fault!" He said devastated.

"You are NOT EVIL, Wyatt… do you HEAR me?" He shouted at him, piercing him with his green eyes. "I am your baby brother… I would know if you are evil. God… I am the one that puts up with you every day! You can be hell of annoying, and a major drama queen… but you are NOT evil, Wyatt, understood?" He said firmly, forcing him to understand it.

"Still… I need to talk to Cole!" Wyatt said a lot stronger, apparently C.J's words had helped him to pull himself together.

"You need to talk to him?" C.J asked confused.

"Yeah and I need you to orb me to where he is." He demanded tiredly.

"You need me to WHAT?" C.J jumped horrified.

"I need your help… I need you to come with me, orb me there… I don't have powers remember?" Wyatt said.

"Yeah… that should be your first indication that you shouldn't be going anywhere." Wyatt rolled his eyes at him "Have you looked at yourself in the mirror, Wy?"

"I don't care how I look. I am going there to talk to Cole not to seduce a girl…" he said acidly.

"He, he you are so funny, Bro." Chris said sarcastically.

"Yeah… I know… besides considering my girlfriend is your best friend and you are single, you should be happy that I go out looking like crap… so all the girls would go to you!" Wyatt teased him.

"Wyatt…no…Bro… seriously, I am worried about you!"

"Don't stupid, Topher… I'll be fine! Besides… you owe me… from last week. When you went to the underworld alone and without letting anyone know and you got hit by like four energy balls, and I healed you and covered for you!" Wyatt smiled mischievously.

"You wouldn't dare!" C.J said horrified.

"Try me, Bro… I help you when you need me… now is your turn!" Wyatt smirked.

"It's not the same!" C.J said, he was petrified of the consequences that this could have on Wyatt. He didn't want to be responsible for hurting his brother in anyway.

"Yes… bro… it's exactly the same. Now you see how horrible I feel when YOU make me cover for you in your suicidal missions." Wyatt told him firmly and irritated. "So now it's your turn to help me!"

"Wy…" He whispered, hugging him. "I just don't want you to get hurt." Wyatt hugged him back comfortingly.

"Thank you… but it's my call…How do you think I feel when you orb to me bleeding like crazy? Or when I know you are doing something dangerous and you are asking me to cover for you?" Wyatt told him. "Today it's my turn, and you should be returning me the favor, bro."

"Ok…but I'll stay with you the whole time." C.J agreed.

"I don't mind… you can stay all you want." Wyatt said.

C.J sighed "I am going to hate myself so much for this." He mumbled to himself.

"Ok… you'll tell mom that I am sleeping and that you are going out and will come back in like half an hour." Wyatt told him.

"I am going out where? At this particular moment of our existence I can't tell them I am going to the library… they are not going to believe me!"

"I don't know… you and Chris are the one that are good with the excuses around here!" Wyatt shrugged. "And I am not firing in all cylinders here…out to get some school supplies?"

"Nah… Emma can get them for me." C.J shook her head.

"You can tell them you are going to Emma's and then she can tag along with us." Wyatt's face illuminated.

"Yeah… mom will probably let me go hang out with my friend, just because in a day like today; besides you really want to drag a powerless Emma into something potentially this dangerous? I swear I am starting to consider if you should be dating my friend!" C.J said shocked.

"I am sorry… I am not thinking clearly right now." Wyatt said gloomy, covering his face with his hands.

"That's why you should stay, Wy." C.J murmured kneeling in front of him (Wy was sitting on the bed) and patting his knee. "I'll go to her house, orb her here…and you two can take a nap together…I'll make sure no one finds out she is here. Ok?"

Wyatt thought about it, C.J could see he was in such a state he REALLY needed his mommy and his girlfriend, but then he shook his head and said.

"No… I need to do this C.J… go… tell mom whatever you want and then come for me." Wyatt said finally.

"Ok, bro." C.J sighed standing up, patting his shoulder and walking out of the room.

Phoebe turner

Thank you… see how soon I updated? I was just waiting for you (well… no…. but I was certainly missing you!).

teal-lover

"go leo! I love it when he gets all paternal over chris." I am thrilled you do : )! I like it too : )

"are they going to find him?" Eventually… he is going to escape first.

"are they going to believe cole?" Yeah, sure… some faster than others… like Wyatt a lot sooner that Piper (Just in case you didn't notice that!) :P!

"and speaking of--when is phoebe going to find out that he's the father of her child?" Patience my dear child!

"ooh, can't wait for all these confrontations." I am glad to know that.

Ashley

Thanks! I hope you already got to this chappie and I hope you liked it too… I am thrilled you liked me story :)

JadeAlmasy

Heheh thanks… yeah… you gotta love Leo-overprotective dad, definitely!

Victorious Light

Thanks!

"You really have me hooked as to what's going to happen in the end." Do you really wanna know? If you do let me know and I'll send you an email, if you rather have the suspense of reading it… All I'll tell you is that emotions will flow high, and love will set you free (? Nah…it's a nice phrase and it's actually sort of relates to the ending, I won't tell you which sort of love.)

"I particulary liked nice protective Leo, and when that demon said that Chris took after him... aw." Ahhh yeah I know you are a Leo-Chris fan! And Leo was cute! And MACHO!

"Todos los Wyatt y Chris me gustan pero siempre tendre preferencia por los originales. BuenChris/Wyattmalo es un clasico al cual no puedo resistirme."

Hehehe tienen su encanto… es mas facil escribir situaciones mas dramaticas… porque podes hacerla una relacion muy conflictiva! Por eso siempre me gusta mas que Wyatt este mas loco que evil y que siga queriendo a su hermano (o que en algun momento lo haya querido… aunque tiene que haber una razon que valga para que no lo quiera mas, porque sino no tiene sentido).

Los dos hermanos buenos son adorables, pero el conflicto es siempre menor… el otro es mas interesante.
"Pobre Wyatt2, debe ser muy traumatico vivir con los recuerdos de lo que hizo su pasadoyo.( me he recordado de esa escena de Chrisdiary cuando decide contemplar todas sus memorias) Pobrecito." Si… pobres mis Wyatts buenos siempre los torturo con sus memorias pasadas, pero yo no entiendo como alguien bueno puede saber lo que hizo y no sentirse al menos algo culpable… no tiene sentido! Y yo se las hago ver para torturarlos…pobres.
""Nice to see you too, Piper." Cole said sarcastically. "I can see you are as cheery as always!"
Cole+sarcasmo me enamoro mas de este personaje." I know… just for you…Pero escribi unas escenas con la hija… y yo, muero por los padres amorosos… asi que moria de amor con Cole hablando con las nenas y con Prue..
"Leo vuelve a ser, un poco, el de principios de la septima, amo este Leo." Que bueno que te haya gustado… si que muestre que hace algo por su hijo… que le afecta.
"PD:Gracias por la imagen de Chris escribiendo sus cronicas, no se porque pero me parece hilirante..." Gracias… hehehe
"Y dibujando? te confesaré algo, la escena que siempre quise escribir en simplementeChris( si aquella historia que nunca actualizo)fue Chris pintando a su madre, me parecía cute. La idea era que el dibujo aparte de su madre en le fondo estuviera su hermano, era la forma original que las chicas se daban cuenta de la obsecion de Chris por su hermano muerto.Porque en todos sus dibujos salia su hermano de fondo. Pero al escribirlo no me convencía.. asi que hice un apaño y quedo como quedo." Esta muy buenala idea, pero entiendo lo complicada que debe ser de plasmar en papel! Igual como lo hiciste tambien fue maravilloso… y si… u could update, right?
" ¿te has fijado k en mis reviews por lo normal hay mas palabras tuyas que mias?"Heheh no… pero todo bien… me encanta que me copien mis parrafos y me digan que es lo que les ha gustado.

THANKSSSSSSSSSS here you are!

Altaira

THANKS

" It's funny how Leo will always go and torture a few demons/ bad guys when one of his sons is in danger! Its like he flicks the pacifist switch off." Totally… but that's what we all love about it, right?
" But if Chris escapes- he'll be without the antidote, which although would make a great storyline, isn't so great for him- and if he got bad enough would it affect C.J?" If Chris escapes, Emma asked Wyatt to give her some antidote, he gave her 4 vials, remember? So he actually has antidote worth for 24 hours… but after that…yeah its not good for him…but its great for my plot. Yeah if it gets bad enough its going to affect C.J.

Sparkling Cherries

"aw your author notes always make me smile so much! They're just as good as the actual fic." Hehe thanks…

"present wyatt - he needs hugs, cookies, chocolate...and everything that just makes a person feel good and special coz I feel so bad for him now. It's like he's a split personality (ya know him being him and then the dream him which he then finds out is him - did ya get any of that?). Chris too. They both needs love and affection." Yeah… they do… and if they don't its ok, we can give them some nonetheless… and if they don't want to… well they can give us some… I won't complain, would you?

"Chris is so stubbon and bitchy even when he's sick - nice touch. ;)" Of course… unless he is sick, horribly sick… he is still his sweet stubborn, bitchy self!

Nikki14u

"Another great chapter. It looks like everything is starting to come together now and at least they know that evil Wyatt is back." Yeah sort of…I finally finished with introducing all the elements of my fiction, it only took me 10 chapters!

"Umm I wonder since evil Wyatt can orb to Chris I wonder if the other Wyatt can too, since they are in fact the same person. Am I onto something here?" Hmmm… actually it's a great theory that somehow I never thought about! Though Wyatt never orbs in, Wyatt always flames in… and good Wyatt doesn't flame, actually right now he is powerless… but I guess once they finally admit there is another Wyatt roaming around, they can cast a spell to give him his powers back. And then… they can come up with that theory which is actually brilliant and I feel horrible cuz I didn't come up with it!

Thank you and here is the update! The outcome… as I said a few reviews ago (unless you really want to know in which case… I can email it to you… but if I remember correctly you don't like to be spoiled) the key is in the sentence "Love will set you free" (And the power of three…and the rest of the Halliwells)…but I won't tell you which sort of love :P!

Wicked R

"nice to see Phoebe's attitude towards Cole." I am glad you like it… I hope you also liked what she said in this chappie and all the rest…

Thanks!
