Chapter 6

Leo was scared out of his mind as he sat by his son's side waiting for him to wake up. The boy had been out for about fifteen minutes now and his father had no idea what could possibly be wrong.

Was he sick?

Had all the stress finally gotten to him?

Did he drink some sort of potion or say some kind of spell to hurt himself resulting in the limp form laying before him?

Before the Elder had the chance to ponder any further a worried screamed echoed loudly in his ears. Instantly knowing who it was the man ran over to his wife's side and did his best to calm her down.

"It's ok Piper, he's not dead" he spoke softly as he felt the woman's muscles relax in his grasp.

"Then what's wrong with him? Is he hurt? Did something happen to him? Please Leo you have to tell me so I can fix it" the now panicked woman said before rushing over to the book of shadows and searching the pages.

"Piper sweetie, you need to relax" the man said while making his way over to her and laid a comforting hand on her shoulder and kissing her head before proceeding.

"How can I relax when my son is dying?"

"He's not dying Piper" the man spoke trying to sound as if he himself believed that statement.

"Are you sure?" she looked at him with panic in her eyes hoping that he would put her worries to rest with one simple word. But of course nothing was ever that easy in the life of Piper Halliwell.

"Well to be honest Piper I don't know" replied Leo who instantly regretted his words.

"What the hell do you mean you don't know?" the woman practically screamed into his ear. She was about to yell at him some more but stopped when her son's voice cried out for her attention.

"Mom" the boy spoke as his eyes fluttered open.

"Oh sweetie, you're awake" she said walking over to her son as fast as he weight would allow.

"Yeah, what happened?" the boy questioned as his parents joined him.

"We were hoping you could tell us that" Leo said while carefully looking him over. "Did a demon attack you or did you see something?"

The question sounded as if he should know the answer but he didn't.

"No, not that I can remember" Chris said as he sat up and looked around the room dazed and confused.

"Chris honey, look at me" Piper spoke as she put her hands on either side of his face and forced the boy to look at her. Looking into his eyes she knew something wasn't right. He looked as if he were going to pass out again or worse. "Sweetie I need you to try and focus ok. I want you to think real hard about what just happened and try to tell me what the demon did to you" the woman continued hoping that her words would trigger some kind of memory inside his mind.

Chris did as his mother asked and vaguely remembered the incident that led him to run away from the house. He also remembered running into someone but he couldn't for the life of him remember who it was or what they did to him.

"I'm sorry Mom I just don't remember" Chris responded and couldn't help but get distressed when he saw the disappointed look on his mother's face. "I really am sorry Mom. Please don't get upset"

Piper was surprised to hear the sentiment in her son's words when usually all she got from him was anger and the feeling that she was nothing more then a nuisance. This caused a smile to form on her mouth as she pulled him in close and held on to him tightly. Something he hadn't allowed her to do in a very long time.

"It's ok baby. I'm not disappointed in you. I just want to find out who's responsible for this"

"Maybe no one did this to him. Maybe the stress has finally gotten to you Chris" Leo said giving his son a kiss on the forehead. "I think what we have here is a case of exhaustion. Which means for the rest of the day, you will be stuck here with us and taking it easy. Which means no magic Chris"

"The only person I want to be with is Wyatt so please stop with all the togetherness talk, it's making me want to vomit" Chris spoke coldly.

Piper and Leo just looked at each other in shock and amazement.

"What did you just say?" questioned Piper with a worried look in her eyes.

"I don't know. I mean I didn't mean to… What the hell's happening to me?" Chris said as he looked at his still shell shocked parents.

"Let the secrets that are trapped within break free so the past can now be reveled to me" chanted Piper.

"What are you doing?" Leo and Chris seemed to question at the same time.

"I just cast a spell to allow us to see what happened to Chris before you found him" Piper said looking around for any indication that her spell worked.

Suddenly the landscape around them began to change and once the image became clear they found themselves standing out side in the snow.

"What's going on?" asked Chris who instantly became uneasy but had no idea why.

"Shh, there you are" Leo said pointing to past Chris who stood in front of them as the scene in front of them began to unfold.

Flashback

The feel of fingering running through his hair and had breath on his neck drew him from his thoughts.

"I missed you so much my love" the man spoke with a deep, sinister voice, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand.

Chris flinched slightly as the horrid memory came flooding back to him. Damn how he wished that his mother hadn't cast this spell.

"Oh my God, Wyatt's here?" his mother spoke in a low, clam voice that told both Leo and Chris that she was about to lose it.

"Looks that way" an equally calm yet extremely frightened Leo spoke as his eyes remained glued to what was taking place before him.

"Did you miss me Christopher?" the man said planting another kiss on the birth mark on the back of his neck.

Seeing this caused Piper to cry out loud and bring a hand to her mouth not really wanting to see what happens next but yet unable to shield her eyes from it. Mean while Leo just stood there looking back and forth between both version of his son, both of which looked terrified.

"Chris" the man spoke as he stood between his wife and son with a comforting arm around both.

"It's ok son. You're going to be alright"

"This is a dream. You're not real" past Chris spoke quietly as his body trembled up against the powerfully built chest of his sibling.

"Oh I assure you Christopher I'm very real. Every inch of me, from the top of my head" the older Halliwell spoke as he moved to stand toe to toe with the younger male. He then took one of the boy's hands and placed in on head and trailed it down his body to bring home his words "Right down" he continued as his he made the boy's hand slid down his chest and to his waist line "To various places and my toes" he said stopping at a very private location. He smirked when he noticed how stiff the body of his younger brother had become before he snatched his hand away.

"You evil bastard!" yelled Piper who flicked her hands trying to blow up her eldest son.

Seeing how much this upset his son Leo tightened his grip on the boy and tried to console him. "Chris this wasn't your fault ok and no matter what we're not going to let Wyatt get his hands on you again. Do you understand me?" the man questioned as his son's eyes met his before the boy spoke.

"It doesn't matter what you try to do. Wyatt got to me before and he'll do it again" Chris spoke sadly as tears streamed down his face as he roughly wiped them away.

"Piper reverse the spell, now" ordered the Elder as he could feel his son's body began to shake. He didn't know what was going to occur next but whatever it was, was scaring the hell out of his youngest child. Unable to get his wife's attention Leo turned back to his son "Chris what's about to happen next?"

"You're going to hate me" the boy answered in a voice so low his father was barely able to understand.

"No I won't Chris. I could never hate you for what your brother did. It wasn't your fault, remember that. It's never your fault" the elder said while pulling his son into a hug in hopes that it was enough to show him how much he cared for him. He then turned around so now that he was able to see what was going on and his son couldn't. After all it wouldn't be fair to him to have to live this nightmare all over again. It was bad enough that he had to go through it the first time.

Wyatt snicker in triumph as he felt a rush that only complete dominance could provide. He cocked his head to one side as he watched his sibling close his eyes while tears escaped them. He then took the boy by the hips and drew him in close as his allowed his tongue to taste the salty drops before giving the boy a delicate kiss on the lips.

"No need to cry my dear" he said while brushing a few stray hairs from the boy's eyes. "There's no shame to be found in the way we feel for each other. It's ok if you like my touch" the man said causing the boy's eyes to jolt open.

"Like it?" the boy smiled slightly. "I loath it Wyatt, just as I loath and despise you! You twisted bastard" he said shoving the man back violently as he prepared to flee. But unfortunately for him Wyatt had the sharp reflexes of a cat.

"Oh really?" he spoke amusedly as he the boy struggled in his grasp. "I wouldn't speak such lies if I were you Christopher. You know how much it angers me"

Chris knew exactly what his brother was getting at, but yet he remained silent and hoped that the man wouldn't remind him of the one thing he wanted to forget more then the event it's self.

"Besides I can remember with all extreme clarity that it wasn't just my seed that damped the sheets that glorious night" he laughed as the younger witch cried out loud. "Don't worry my love I won't tell anyone. I'll keep that tasty little secret between the two of us" he said releasing his hold on the boy who allowed his weight to drop down into the whiteness of the snow.

She did not just hear that.

No, that had to be a lie. A dirty, horrible, shameful lie. Chris didn't.

Couldn't.

Wouldn't.

No, Wyatt was lying Chris hadn't liked what he did. No, he was just saying that to get under his skin.

Yeah that was it.

He was lying. Besides Chris didn't lead that type of lifestyle hell he had a fiancé who he loved more then anything in the world and had given her life for his own. No, that night had to be a painful one for him, not, not …pleasurable.

Piper then looked back over to Leo who was just staring ahead and blinking several times trying to let his mind wrap around what he had just heard.

Did Wyatt just say that Chris had…

No that would be disgusting and way too gross for words.

He had to be saying those things to make Chris even more uncomfortable and any moment now past Chris was going to call Wyatt a liar.

But when that moment never came Leo just looked straight ahead without realizing that Chris had removed himself from his arms and was crying silently at his parents reaction.

He knew this would happen.

That they would hate him if they ever found out the truth about that night about what Wyatt had made him do. How he had made him feel.

It's not like he enjoyed it or liked it, it was just that Wyatt had gotten lucky and hit a special spot within him and what happened next was out of his control. Besides it's not impossible for rape victims to climax with their assailants and that doesn't make the assault any less painful. He just hoped that his Aunt Paige would be able to tell his parents that and help them get through the shock. After all she was a social worker and used to dealing with rape victims.

"Dad" Chris said as he approached his father with caution whom of which just stared at him.

"He's lying right?" his father questioned him with a look that was neither sympathetic nor cold.

Before Chris could answer his mother interrupted the two forcing them to look at what was taking place in front of them.

Crouching down in front of the boy the older witch pulled out a vial from his pocket and presented it to him.

"What is that?" the boy questioned as he eyed the substance.

"Something to make you feel better little brother"

"Something like what" the boy responded not willing to believe a word out of his brother's mouth.

"Now, now Christopher, you're way too young to be so cynical but I have to admit. You're really cute when you're wearing that little curious gaze of yours"

"Cut the bullshit Wyatt and tell what that's for"

"To help you see things more, clearly"

"You mean to see thing the way you do. With no morals or conscious"

"Precisely after all, they just weigh you down and get in the way"

"You're crazy, you know that?"

"I may be crazy but if that means getting what the hell I want, then fine, I'll be just that. And right now all I want is you"

"You don't have to do this Wyatt" a very desperate Chris spoke "and besides I'm not going to take it no matter what you do me. I will never come to you willingly. EVER!" Chris shouted as he blinked the now heavily falling snow out of his eyes almost making it impossible to see.

The older witch simply smiled in return, shaking his head from side to side as he stood up and folded one arm over the other. "You always were stubborn Christopher, but fortunately for me I always come prepared" the man finished as he waved his arm and the boy's body froze.

"What did he just do?"

"He froze my body so he could force me to drink the potion. Besides it was for my own good" Chris said as both Piper and Leo looked at him in slight disgust but at least they now understood his train of thought.

"The potion must be what's doing this to you" Piper spoke hoping to forget what she had just discovered.

"You never answered my question, Chris. Wyatt was lying about what happened that night, right?" Leo said with his eyes fixated on his son.

"Leo, not now" said Piper who really didn't want to be reminded of her son's words. The three of them then returned their eyes to the scene in front of them.

"What the hell did you just do to me?" Chris said while trying hard not to let his panic and fear show. Suddenly he could feel his throat grow wide making it impossible for him to reject anything his brother put into his mouth.

"See what happens when you don't do as I say willingly?" the man grinned as he opened the vial and poured the liquid down the boy's throat. He then unfroze the witch and took a step back as the younger male slightly winced in pain. He knew the potion would cause the boy some discomfort which made his feel a little guilty but in the end he knew that his brother's moment of pain would bring them both so much pleasure that it would be worth the few short seconds of pain. But first he would have keep his distance from the boy for a little while long enough for the potion to take effect and for his plan to work his magic on his parents and aunts so they would do his bidding and drive his brother straight into his awaiting arms.

"What did you do to me?" his brother's irritated voice interrupted his thoughts.

"You'll see" he replied mysteriously which only served to further anger the boy.

Chris jumped to his feet with balled up fist, catching the older male off guard and landing a hard right hook. He was stunned when the twice blessed son laughed it off. He then hit him again and again only to receive the same reaction.

"Are you finished yet" the man question as the boy looked him over in frustration. "Are you aware of how sexy you look when you're all worked up" he said instantly bringing the boy's tyrant to an end. "As much as I would love to stick around and play with you" he said with a glimmer in his eye that Chris had learned to fear.

"Disgusting freak" mumbled Piper as she wondered just how her little angel had turned out the way that he did.

"I must be going I have business to handle that can't be put off any longer" He said feeling the nearing presence of his father. "But don't worry sweet Christopher I won't be gone long" he spoke before orbing away.

"Chris!" the young male heard the voice of his father call out not giving him even a second to ponder over the actions of his brother.

"Are you ok son?" Leo continued as he looked the boy over for any signs of trauma.

"Yeah I'm ok" he lied without really understanding why.

"Good. My God Chris what were you thinking running off like that? Don't you know how worried your mother and I was?" the father spoke firmly as he held the boy in his arms.

"I'm sorry Dad. I just needed to clear my head. I didn't mean to worry you or Mom" he said trying not to let his fear show or alert his father to fact that his evil brother was back in the past yet again. Suddenly he felt sick to his stomach. Images of his brother forcing him to swallow the mystery potion flooded his mind and caused him to faultier a little as he wondered what the long term effect of the liquid would be.

Taking notice of his son's condition Leo grabbed him quickly and orbed out before he could hit the ground. Reforming in the attic Leo laid the boy down on the sofa and tired desperately to heal him.

"You can't heal me" the boy replied weakly as he felt his eye lids grew heavy.

"What? Chris what are you talking about" Leo questioned frantically.

"You can't" was all the young witch was able to say before he passed out to the hysterical cries of his father.

End Of Flashback

When the memory ended Piper, Leo and Chris found themselves back in the attic of Halliwell manor all shifting through a thousands thoughts but only one held the attention of all. And Leo would be the only who felt the need to talk about it.

"You never answered my question Christopher. Was your brother telling the truth?"

"Leo not now, ok? We have to find out what how to counter act the potion that Wyatt made Chris drink" Piper said trying to pull her husband in the other direction.

"NO! I want an answer Chris and I want it now!" the man shouted in a voice that Chris never wanted to hear from his father again after their little stint in Valhalla.

But before he could answer another voice called out from behind the group.

"Go ahead little brother answer our dear old Dad. Or I will"
