Chapter Nine

Lexy didn't know what to expect as she shimmered back to the manor. She knew the charmed ones didn't trust her. They might even blame her for Wyatt turning evil, but she had to convince them that she wanted to help. Especially after what Wyatt did to his own brother, she wanted nothing more than to keep this from happening. As she appeared in the family room, the person she saw was who she least expected.

"Chris!" Lexy screamed surprised. "You're alive!" She ran to him and flung her arms around his neck. "I saw Wyatt kill you."

"It ok," Chris responded giving her a hug back. "Leo was able to heal me."

"Don't you mean Dad?" Lexy asked smiling. "He's does know, now, doesn't he?"

"He shouldn't know," Chris replied frustrated. "None of them were supposed to find out."

"Chris, you know that you couldn't keep this from them forever. Besides, it's probably better that they know. At least, now they can help us."

Before Chris had a chance to reply Piper walked in the room. "Chris I was wondering if you… what is she doing here?"

"She came here to help," Chris answered his mother. "I already told you, we can trust her."

"Well, ok," Piper said still giving Lexy a suspicious look. "Have you found out anything else about Wyatt?" she asked Chris.

But Lexy answered, "He's in the underworld. That's were he took me after he shot Chris."

"What!" Piper shrieked completely shocked by this news. "What would he be doing in the underworld?"

"He probably thinks that he could be their leader," Chris answered.

Piper was still not convinced. "Yeah, but the demons won't accept him as their leader. I mean, they would never follow a dark lighter. Going down there would be suicide."

"He's more powerful than you think," Chris answered. "He was probably able to show them that."

Then Lexy said, "Well, we can still stop him and sway him back to our side. It's still all of us against him."

"Right," said Chris, "but we'll probably need the power of three, just in case. You better get Phoebe and Paige."

"Paige!" Piper called. Only moments later, Paige orbed bringing Phoebe with her.

"What up?" Paige asked. But before Piper could answer Leo orbed in with a stricken look on his face.

"Leo?" Piper was surprised to see her husband like this. "What's wrong?"

"I just went up to tell the elders about this…" Leo started but was not able to finish his sentence.

"What is it?" Piper asked again now even more concerned. "Is it about Wyatt?"

Leo simply nodded.

Paige asked, "What about Wyatt?"

Leo paused for a moment but then said, "Wyatt has become the source of all evil."

At first everyone gasped and then the room was filled with silence.
